The art f public speaking began in ancient Greece ver 2,000 years g. Nw, twitter, instant messaging, e-mail, blgs and chat frums ffer rival appraches t cmmunicatin - but nne can replace the rle f a great speech.
The spken wrd can handle varius vital functins: persuading r inspiring, infrming, paying tribute, entertaining, r simply intrducing smene r smething r accepting smething. Over the past year, the human vice has helped guide us ver the ups and dwns f what was certainly a strmy time.
Persuasin is used in dealing with r recnciling different pints f view. When the leaders met in Cpenhagen in December 2009, persuasive wrds frm activists encuraged them t cmmit themselves t firmer actin. Inspiratinal speeches cnfrnt the emtins. They fcus n tpics and matters that are clse t peple's hearts. During wars, generals used inspiring speeches t prepare the trps fr battle.
A speech that cnveys knwledge and enhances understanding can infrm us. The infrmatin must be clear, accurate, and expressed in meaningful and interesting way. When the H1N1 pandemic(流行病)was annunced, the idea f "swine flu" scared many peple. Infrmative speeches frm Wrld Health Organizatin fficials helped peple t keep their panic under cntrl s they culd take sensible precautins.
Sad events are never easy t deal with, but a speech that pays tribute t the lss f a lved ne and gives praise fr their cntributin can be cmfrting. Madnna's speech abut Michael Jacksn, after his death, highlighted the fact that he will cntinue t live n thrugh his music.
It's nt nly in wrld frums where public speaking plays an imprtant rle. It can als be surprisingly helpful in the curse f ur wn lives.
If yu're taking part in a debate yu need t persuade the listeners f the sundness f yur argument. In sprts, athletes knw the imprtance f a pep talk(鼓舞士气的讲话)befre a match t inspire teammates. Yu yurself may be asked t d a presentatin at cllege r wrk t infrm the thers abut an area f vital imprtance.
On a mre persnal level, a friend may be upset and need cmfrting. Or yu might be asked t intrduce a speaker at a family event r t speak at a wedding, where yur language will be needed t mve peple r make them laugh.
Great speaking ability is nt smething we're brn with. Even Barack Obama wrks hard t perfect every speech. Fr a brilliant speech, there are rules that yu can put t gd use. T learn thse rules, yu have t practice and learn frm sme utstanding speeches in the past.
39. The authr thinks the spken wrd is still irreplaceable because _______.
A. it has always been used t inspire r persuade peple.
B. it has a big rle t play in the entertainment business.
C. it plays imprtant rles in human cmmunicatin.
D. it is f great use in everyday-life cntext.
40. Which f the fllwing statements is INCORRECT abut the rle f public speaking?

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了不同类型演讲在正式场合以及我们生活中的作用。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段的“The spken wrd can handle varius vital functins: persuading r inspiring, infrming, paying tribute, entertaining, r simply intrducing smene r smething r accepting smething.”可知,演讲具有很多功能和作用,包括劝说、激励、科普、致敬、娱乐、简单介绍等等,演讲的这些作用决定了它的不可替代。故选D项。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段最后一句“Infrmative speeches frm Wrld Health Organizatin fficials helped peple t keep their panic under cntrl s they culd take sensible precautins. ”可知,世界卫生组织的科普性演讲抑制住了人们对于流行病的恐慌,所以B项正确;由第三段最后一句“During wars, generals used inspiring speeches t prepare the trps fr battle. ”可知,战前将军的激励演讲可以让军队做好备战,鼓舞士气,所以C项正确;由第五段的“Sad events are never easy t deal with, but a speech that pays tribute t the lss f a lved ne and gives praise fr their cntributin can be cmfrting.”可知,哀悼和歌颂具有安慰作用,故D项正确。综上,不正确的为A. Speeches at wrld frums can lead t effective slutins t wrld prblems.(在世界论坛上的发言可以有效地解决世界问题。)。故选A项。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段的“T learn thse rules, yu have t practice and learn frm sme utstanding speeches in the past.”可知,出色的演讲能力需要训练,也需要学习借鉴一些过去的优秀演讲。故选D项。
【42题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文内容可知,文章先总体说明了演讲的各种功能作用,然后分类介绍了正式场合下不同演讲的作用以及生活中演讲的作用,属于总分结构的文章,文章主旨在段首和第二段——演讲不可替代,演讲有很多功能。故选B项。
【点睛】主旨大意题难度相对较大,解体的时候要避免以偏概全及扩大范围。在解答主旨大意题时,可以结合文章结构进行分析,常见的文章结构有总-分-总,总-分,分-总等等,如果文章符合这些结构,往往第一段或最后一段就是文章的主旨。如第4小题,就可以从文章的总-分结构出发,将中心内容锁定在第一段和第二段。

43. 我确信自信与成功紧密相连。(cnvince) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I am cnvinced that cnfidence ges hand in hand with success.
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句和短语、时态。句子陈述目前的事实,应用一般现在时,表示“我确信”用I’m cnvinced that…结构,that引导宾语从句,表示“自信”为cnfidence,表示“与……紧密相连”用g hand in hand with,从句主语为不可数名词,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,表示“成功”用success。故翻译为I am cnvinced that cnfidence ges hand in hand with success.
44. 她逐渐明白运动可以缓解很多负面情绪。(dawn, relieve) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Gradually it dawned n her that exercise culd relieve many negative emtins.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和固定句型。表示“逐渐”用副词gradually,作状语,位于句首,首字母大写。表示“明白……”用固定句型it dawns n sb. that,其中it为形式主语,that引导主语从句,根据语境可知事情发生在过去,故时态用一般过去时,谓语用过去式dawned,表示“她”用her,作宾语。主语从句中:表示“运动”用exercise,作主语;表示“可以”用情态动词culd;表示“缓解”用relieve,位于culd后,用动词原形;表示“负面的”用形容词negative,作定语,修饰名词“情绪”;表示“情绪”用emtin,结合句意可知,负面情绪不止一种,应用名词复数形式,作relieve的宾语;表示“很多”用many,故翻译为Gradually it dawned n her that exercise culd relieve many negative emtins.
45. 尽管面对重重困难,他依然坚持研究,最终实现了重大突破。(分词作状语) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Thugh faced with all the difficulties, he persisted in his research, finally achieving a majr breakthrugh.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词、动词时态和短语。分析句子可知,句子陈述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。表示“尽管面对重重困难”可以用让步状语从句,用Thugh he was faced with all the difficulties,be faced with意思为:面对;表示“坚持研究”用persist in his research,动词用过去式,从句主语和主句主语一致,且有be动词时,省略从句主语he和be动词;表示“最终实现了重大突破”用分词作状语,he与“实现重大突破achieve a majr breakthrugh”为主动关系,用现在分词作状语,“最终”用finally。故翻译为Thugh faced with all the difficulties, he persisted in his research, finally achieving a majr breakthrugh.
46. 我试着深呼吸,让自己平静下来,但我还是很紧张,这让我失去了得第一名的机会。(which)(汉译英)
【答案】I tried t take deep breaths t calm myself dwn, but I was still very nervus, which cst me the chance t get the first prize/which made me lse the chance t get the first prize.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和定语从句。分析句意可知,句子描述过去的事情,时态用一般过去时,“我试着深呼吸”是I tried t take deep breaths,“让自己平静下来”用不定式表目的,是t calm myself dwn,“但我还是很紧张”是but I was still very nervus,“这让我失去了得第一名的机会”用which引导的定语从句,可翻译为which cst me the chance t get the first prize/which made me lse the chance t get the first prize,因此整句话翻译为I tried t take deep breaths t calm myself dwn, but I was still very nervus, which cst me the chance t get the first prize/which made me lse the chance t get the first prize.
