牛津上海（本地版）五四制七年级上册Module 3 Unit 10 A birthday party单元测试卷（含小段音频）
A friend of mine was fond of drawing horses. He drew the horses very well, but he always began at the tail. Now it is the western rule to begin at the head of the horse. That is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rules. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar( 奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means that only he finds it more easy to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question," How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail- that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
| {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I don't think I can talk fluently because it's difficult for me to remember all the words. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} When I come face to face with the audience, where should my eyes fall upon? Do I have to look front, or look around from time to time? {#blank#}3{#/blank#} When I am talking, I can't help waving my hands, for I think it can help me express what I want to say better. But my classmates say I look funny and foolish by doing this . {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I know that it's not right to speak fast. But I am afraid that I can't finish my talk in the given time if I speak slowly. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Should I talk in American English or British English? |
E. Use simple words. You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways . Some of them may not know what you are talking about. Then speak to them on their languages. F. Word works! Concentrate on what you want to say. If you are always paying attention to gestures(手势). G. English has no differences. It's true that there are some differences between American English and British English, but they'll not cause much difficulty for listeners, so just speak the way you're used to. |
| A．He loves to listen to drums. He says he's not a player, just a listener. He claims to like rock. |
| B．He is violinist, so it's natural that he should favor the violin. He prefers country music. |
| C．His favorite is the guitar. However, he hasn't played for years, so he keeps hoping to start again. His favorite style of music is classical music. |
| D．He says jazz is his favorite music. He goes to listen to jazz every Friday evening. He also likes opera, heavy metal, classical but jazz is the best. He plays the piano, but his favorite instrument is the guitar. |
E. He claims the piano is more versatile than any other instrument. He loves to go to see a performance. He says opera has everything, color and spectacle and theatre and great music.
F. He played drums when he was at primary school, and now he plays drums with his friends at weekends. They have a band. His favorite style of music is classical music.
I once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.
1). Friends of convenience(便利). They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children's closest friends. Friends of convenience are good indeed. They'll help us when we need it. They'll look after our cats when we go on holidays. But we don't ever get too close or tell too much. Between us, we'll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed(失望). However, people still find it necessary to make friends like this.
2). Special-interest friends. These friendships aren't deeply personal or emotional(感情上的). They lie in some shared interests, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.
3). Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew us when…maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to.
The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. But we're still a personal part of each other's past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened(矫正), and our getting together makes us think of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.
4). Cross-generational friends. These are friendships that from across generations(代). I have in my own life a precious(珍贵的) friend, a woman of 65, who is clever, who listens well, and who means not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I'd like to be when I grow up.
Best friends, I believe, totally love and help each other.
