If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject but never establishes the goal,they won’t know where to start in the research,organizing and writing of the speech.If you have been charged with delivering a speech,establishing a goal can seem difficult at first.There are several things to take intoconsideration.First,think about who you will be speaking to.The demographic （人口统计）of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them or whether they will be able to sit through（一直坐到……结束）.Second,think about the topic itself.If the topic is something controversial （有争议的）,it may worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the issue.Finally,consider your resources.A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research,and sometimes takes more time to write.（1）According to the passage,what three components does the best speech combine?A . Informing, delivering and entertaining.B . Informing, persuading and entertaining.C . Informing, writing and delivering.D . Informing, writing and persuading.（2）The goal of a speech at a political gathering might be_______.A . to persuade the audience to vote fora candidateB . to celebrate the life of a person you admireC . to entertain the audience with humor and magicD . to persuade the audience to buy new products（3）All the following indicate the importance of a speech goal EXCEPT that_______.A . a speech will lose its direction without a goalB . a speech goal can help keep the audience aware of the speechC . a speech goal can help the speaker know about the research,organizing and writingD . a speech goal makes it possible for the speaker to achieve whatever he wants in life（4）Which of the following can be filled into the blank as the subtitle for the last paragraph?A . How to achieve a speech goalB . How to deliver a difficult speechC . What to consider to establish a goalD . What to consider to deliver a speech四、任务型阅读26. 任务型阅读Population ageing refers to the situation in which the average age of the citizens of a country increases as a result of longer life expectancy（预期寿命）of its citizens or a reduction in the number of births every year.Today, both developed and developing countries around the world are experiencing an increase in the average age of its citizens with a growing proportion（比例）of elders in the population.An increase in the proportion of elderly persons in the population leads to a growing pool of volunteers.This has been considered as a global advantage where the elderly contribute free labor to community and government projects after retirement.These elders are more comfortable financially（财政上）and find pleasure in giving back to their communities and countries.Besides,older people are more experienced than younger people,and they can make use of their experience to help uphold morals（维护道德）and values in a country.What’s more,an ageing population has somethi ng to do with fewer children.This can save much cost because less money has to be used to meet the needs of fewer children and young people in the economy.This wouldresult in lower public education cost,lower health-care cost and other social programs that are provided for children by the government.However,there are also a lot of disadvantages.For example,an increase in the proportion of the elderly in the population raises questions as to how best to support them after retirement.Also older people are more likely to suffer from illnesses,so an increasing number of sick persons will put pressure on health care,which might not be able to meet the demand.Furthermore,an ageing population also increases competition for jobs,especially if the retirement age is extended（延长）.As older members of the population have a longer time to retire,young people will find it more difficult to find jobs.In this case,fewer innovations（创新）and changes take place in organizations because companies are limited to old ways of doing things.So,in order to solve these problems brought by an aging population,careful long-term strategic planning is required.The elderly are important and they have much to offer in helping the young people to understand their purpose in life.An increase in social enterprises（规划）should be the trend to help get the elderly involved in young people’s lives.An ageing populationIntroduction●Population ageing refers to an increase in the average age of a country’s citizens which is ________by the longer l ife expectancy and lower birth rates.●Today,an ageing population is a________problem.________●More and more retired elderly people are willing to do something for their communities and countries for________.●Older people’s________can be good for the gr owth of young people.●An ageing population means a reduction in finances that are required to meet the needs of children and young people.Disadvantages●Much money is needed to support a________number of older people.●With more older people________from illnesses,this may increase health care costs.●An ageing population can make young people have________in finding jobs.●It is hard to develop innovations in organizations and companies.________Make a careful long-term strategic plan to make sure that the elders play a________in young people’s lives.五、单词拼写27. 单词拼写（根据所给单词的首写字母或者汉语，完成句子）（1）As a loving man,Mr.Brown frequently d________money to the poor.（2）I express________（满意）with the way you have handled the matter.（3）He studied abroad for some years,so he can speak English________（流利）now.（4）A________（非常好的）oil painting won the first prize at the local art fair.（5）The big company split（分裂）into two i________companies.（6）You should be kind,frank,generous and t________.You should have a common heart.（7）She told the court she would give a full e________of the prosecution’s （原告）decision on Monday.（8）Most of us need to lead more b________lives to be healthy and happy.（9）It is f________to drive faster than 120mph.（10）The uncertainty created by this situation must be c________to you.（11）It was obvious that he was very________（尴尬的）.（12）There was a d________look in her eyes from time to time,her thoughts elsewhere.（13）This morning,however,a fireman________（偶然）discovered the cause.（14）My neighbor is a man of high________（美德）.六、完成句子28. 完成句子（根据所给汉语，完成句子}（1）他还告诉我们赢得尊敬的最好方法就是专心学习并取得好成绩。
