20. C ，它需要（requires）投入精力才能达成。生产（produces），满足（satisfies），消耗（consumes）不能表达这样的意思。
Passage 8
It is said that Abraham Lincoln searched for exactly the right words to say to his audience in that history-making speech that 1 less than three minutes.
Your speech probably won't be as long-remembered, 2 you can still strive to give your audience the best speech possible by 3 these simple tips:
Write and rewrite the material in your speech until it sounds exactly right to your own ears. Don't use words that are hard to 4 . Avoid technical 5 or keep them to a minimum whenever possible.
Remember to use descriptive phrases so your listeners can get a mental picture in their 6 of what you are talking about. People don't want to be told, they want to be given a 7 picture so they can better understand your words.
Avoid using a lot of statistics that will put your audience asleep in their seats. Keep necessary 8 in your speech to a minimum amount.
Humor can be an effective way to 9 your audience, Humor can also effectively lessen 10 , especially yours. You can use short jokes or personal anecdotes for this purpose. Just make sure your humorous material is appropriate for the audience you are 11 to.
Your speech will probably either inform or 12 your listeners to take action in order to help a charitable organization, etc. Be sure to include localized information in your speech that meet your audience's specific needs.
Read your speech out loud several times to hear how it will sound to your audience. Practice giving your speech in front of a mirror. That way you can see 13 you are going to look to the audience. This technique can help you 14 and feel more comfortable.
Make sure to speak a little louder than 15 conversation when you are giving your speech so that you can be easily heard by the entire 16 , not just the first few rows.
When you are giving your speech to your listeners, remember to 17 your speech down a little bit and don't rush through the words.
You can arrange to have helpful visual aids 18 before, during, or right after the end of your speech. This way the audience will have written information they can take home with them and 19 later.
Remember to be an appreciative speaker and to 20 the person or persons who asked you to give the speech. Also remember to thank the audience for listening. ( ) 1.

答案及解析
本文说明的是如何让演讲更有魅力。完成本完形填空要结合日常生活中人们做演讲的实际和作者的思路结合在一起。 1. B 演讲持续了不到三分钟，这四个词中只有last（持续）后面可以接时间，继续（continued）看起来对但是没有这样的用法，广播（broadcast），走（went）就更不合适了。
2. A 你的演讲不会为人们长时间的记住，但是（but）你可以应用以下的方法让听众拥有可能最后的演讲。虽然（though），和（and），因此（therefore）等等都不是表转折的意思。 3. B你可以应用（就是听从并应用：follow）以下的方法让听众拥有可能最后的演讲。心理上的接受（accepting），复制（copying），记住（remembering），这些不能使句意通顺。 4. A 别使用难以发音（pronounce）的词语，因为是做演讲，所以不能是理解（understand），学会（learn），和听（listen）。
5. B 避免使用技术专业术语（terms），而不是句子（sentences），发音（pronunciations），和意思（meanings）。
6. A 在大脑（minds）中形成思维图画，而不是笔记（notes），话（words），和磁带（tapes）。 7. C 上文就说是思维（mental）图画，这儿也是，根本不是智力（intellectual），生理（physical），和视觉（visual）方面的思维。
8. C 保存必要的统计数据（statistics），上文已经提到这个，不会是信息（information），概念（terms），和单词（words）。
9. A 幽默可能是一条有效的让你的听众高兴（使??高兴：amuse）地方法，控制（control），说服（persuade），驾驶（drive），明显不符合常理。 10. D 幽默可以缓解听众的紧张（tension），而不是注意力（attention），可怕（terror），悲伤（sorrow）。
11. A 就是要确保你的幽默对于你正在对着讲（speaking）的听众是合适恰当的。是讲话，不是涉及（referring），导致（leading），和归功于（owing）。
12. B 你的演讲可能将会要么告知要么是说服（persuade）你的听众采取行动帮助福利组织等等。演讲的功能就是告知或者说服（persuade）别人，而不是帮助（help），强迫（force），和困住(trap)别人。
13. B 这样一来，你就能看清对于听众来说你看起来将会是怎样的（how），而不是什么（what），为什么（why），更不是在哪儿（where）。

14. D 感觉更舒适，就是放松（relax），而不是睡觉（sleep），休息（rest），和让别人舒适（comfort）。
15. A 确保比平常（normal）讲话的声音大一些，晚了（later），以前（previous），故意的（intentional）显得不符合语境。
16. D 这样一来就能很容易的让全体的听众(audience)听到你的演讲，而非仅仅是前几排。演讲的对象就是听众，而非演讲（speeches），男演员（actors）和朋友（friends）。 17. A 记得要放慢（slow）语速，不会是加速（speed），停止（stop），和燃烧（turn）。 18. B 你也可以安排提前或在演讲期间把相应的可视材料分发（passed out）给听众，而不是检票出去（checked out），拿出（brought out），和遗漏(left out)
19. B 这样一来听众就可以把他们记下的内容带回家去看（就是再看一遍：review），根本不会是卖了（sell），扔了（throw），或者邮寄出去（mail）。 20. A 记住去感谢（thank）请你做演讲的人，不是去找到（find），教学（teach），帮助（assist）他们。
Passage 9
What is Math Anxiety?
Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite 1 to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer 2 ? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of 3 the lines? Fear of being judged 4 ? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety conjures（使现出） up fear of some type. The fear that one won't be able to do the 5 or the fear that it's too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of 6 . For the most part, math anxiety is the 7 about doing the math right, our minds draw a 8 and we think we'll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the 9 the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety grow for many students. Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?
Usually math anxiety stems from 10 experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often 11 poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math 12 . Many of the students I've encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much 13 , the math is quickly forgotten and 14 soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept --- the division of fractions（小部分）. You probably learned about reciprocals（倒数） and inverses. In other words, 'It's not yours to reason why, just invert（反转） and multiply'（乘）. Well, you memorized the rule and it 15 . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone every use pizzas or math manipulative（巧妙处理的） to show you why it works? If 16 , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures -- 17 if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good 18 will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students 19 they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important 20 to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.

答案及解析
本文说明了什么事数学焦虑和它是从哪里来的。完成本题要结合自己学数学的经历。 1. B 数学焦虑和舞台怯场是相似的（. similar），而非不同（different），距离远（far），和熟悉（familiar）。
2. D 前文提过舞台怯场，当然这儿先介绍什么事舞台怯场（stage-fright），而不是演讲（speech），表演（performance），和威胁（threatens）。
3. C 担心忘了（forgetting）台词，而不是理解（understanding），记忆（memorizing），阅读（reading）台词。
4. A 担心受到恶（就是糟糕：poorly）评，而不是疯狂地（crazily），好地（well），公共地（publicly）受到评价。
5. B做不出数学（math）题，而非汉语（Chinese）题，英语（English）题，和物理（physics）题。
6. D 这种害怕起因于缺乏自信（confidence），而非愿望（wish），良知（conscience），和毅力（determination）。
7. A 数学焦虑就是害怕（fear）做数学，远非高兴（joy），乐趣（pleasure），和怀疑（doubt）。 8. C 我们的大脑一片空白（blank），失败（failure），选择（choice），死亡（. death）明显不能使语境通畅。 9. B 我们越是焦虑，大脑一片空白的几率就越大（greater），而不是越远（further），越少（less），越小（smaller）。
10. A 通常数学焦虑来自做数学题的不愉快的（unpleasant）经历，不公平（unfair），令人高兴（pleasant），成功（successful），明显不行。
11. D 数学焦虑常常是因为（due to）糟糕的教学和糟糕经历。应该是介词短语而不是连词，因为后面是名词故用due to 而不是because，thanks to 通常表示由于好的原因，result in的

意思是导致，而非因为。 12. B 这明显或导致数学焦虑（anxiety），前文都是用这个词，而非害怕（fear），失败（failure），和误解（misunderstanding）。
13. C 当一个人不经理解（understanding）而去记忆过程、规则、和程序时，这些数学内容很快就会忘掉，根据常理，理解而记忆的内容不易遗忘，而不是忘记（forgetting），使用（use），和知识（knowledge）。
14. A 这样一来，害怕（panic）就会进来。前文就是害怕，绝非兴奋（excitement），失望（disappointment），和鼓励（encouragement）。
15. B 是的你记住了，这就起作用(works)了，而不是打开了（opens），开始了（starts），和跑了（runs）。 16. C 如果这不（not）起作用的话，你只是记住了过程，而绝不是是这样（so），可能（possible），和任何（any），这些都不适合这儿的语言环境和作者的思路。
17. D 你要是忘了一点怎么办（what if：如果??会??）,这儿不是哪儿（where），为什么（why），何时（when），what if??是固定句式。
18. A 好的记忆力（memory）是有帮助的，方法（method），大脑（brain），身体（body）显得与前面的不照应。
19. B 一旦学生认识到（realize）他能学数学，整个担心焦虑都会被克服，远非装填（fill），证实（confirm），和辨认出（recognize）。
20.D 老师和家长在确保学生理解数学方面有重要作用（role），而非任务（task），目标（aim），和约定（appointment）。

If you don't want to 4 the door red, how about wrapping it up like a present with red wrapping paper. If changing your front door's color is not workable, how about the door to your child's bedroom?
2.Eat. A huge part of most cultures is that of food and the Chinese New Year is not 5 , it's eating jiaozi at midnight on New Year's Eve, or longevity noodles on day seven of the festivities to 6 long life. The Chinese New Year celebrations mean many fancy meals that your child will 7 .
