Choose ONE of the following topics and make a 3-minute (about 400 words) speech. Topic 1 We live in this information age in which people have easy access to cell phones equipped with social networking apps. Some question that it will deteriorate our ability to communicate, but others argue that social media could help those who lack interpersonal skills in real life and give them control over the communication process. What’s your opinion？ Do you have any feasible suggestions to those who dread talking to others in public？ Topic 2 “Chinese cooking and cuisine no longer serve only for nutrition. They have become an integral part of Chinese culture and civilization,” said Anna Louisa Thompson-Floris, UNESCO’s Assistant Director-General for Strategic Planning. If you were the director of an episode of the show “A Bite of China”, how would you present a local dish from your hometown？ And please explain how this dish could embody part of the cultural features of your hometown. Topic 3 Traditionally, graduating students at US universities have one last lecture – a commencement speech, often from a celebrity who used to go to their university – before they enter the “real world”. If you had the chance to pick one celebrity to deliver a speech at your university, who would that be？ Why would you choose him/her？

Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past events,
anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within
a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals
can be credited with conscious processing.
(5) Explanations of animal behavior. that leave out any sort of consciousness at
all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered.
One example of such unexplained behavior. Honeybees communicate the sources of
nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation
of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun's position in the sky,
(10)and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most
researchers assume that the ability to perform. and encode the dance is innate and shows
no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the
food source, each time moving the food 25 percent farther from the previous site, foraging
honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would
(15)appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the
bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees,
whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location
of the new site. Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many
(20)animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the
natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees
occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees
compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five
chips and three chips, the other
(25)our chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the
chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing
ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums.
What does the passage mainly discuss？
A．The role of instinct in animal behavior
B．Observations that suggest consciousness in an anima behavior
C．The use of food in studies of animal behavior
D．Differences between the behavior. of animals in their natural environments and in laboratory experiments.

There are those who my that wearing a uniform. gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. But what could be more important than the individual himself？ If an organization must rely on the dress style. and its buttons to inspire its members, it tends to show its weakness in market competition and is going to the dogs.
Some argue that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, so as to eliminate all envy and competition in the matter of dress. A poor student who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a well-dressed student. But these arguments conveniently ignore such critical concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality. But why should one strive to be better if all others were to wear the same style. of clothing？ It acted as if everyone in, society were demanded to buy the same model car, or have the same type of daily food. When this happened, all incentive to improve one's life is removed. Why would parents bother to work much hard, wishing that their children could enjoy a better life than they do when they are certain that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life as they do now？
Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available？ The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.
The author's primary purpose in writing this passage was to______.
A．plead for the abolishment of uniforms
B．show that uniforms are not possible in a democratic society
C．advocate stronger governmental control on the wearing of uniforms
D．convince the reader that uniforms have more disadvantages than advantages
