马英九：萧“副总统”、连荣誉主席、吴荣誉主席、吴“院长”、王“院长”，现场各位长辈、乡亲，大家晚安，大家好。

恭喜大家，我们赢了！

这不是马英九个人的胜利，这是台湾人民的胜利！

这是我们一条追求清廉、繁荣与和平的台湾路线的胜利，对不对啊？这个胜利，台湾人民给了我最清楚的信息，要我继续朝这条路线走下去。台湾人民也给了我明确的使命。让我尽力完成创造台湾新历史的任务。

感谢大家对我的支持，让我能够再有四年的机会去完成台湾所需要的改革，我一定不会辜负大家对我的期待。

这一次我们之所以能够连任，是因为人民肯定我们拒绝贪腐、坚持清廉的努力，对不对？也肯定我们开放松绑、振兴经济的努力，对不对？人民也肯定我们搁置争议、争取两岸和平，把危机转变为商机的机会，对不对？各位。这也是人民肯定我们采取正确、正派、有效的活路外交，赢得了国际的尊重与支持，让台湾人民能够遨游世界，对不对？

当然，我也了解，许多的人对我们还有更高的期许。大家希望我们在照顾弱势之外，要更重视分配的正义，要继续缩小贫富的差距，同时要重视青年就业的问题，以及如何协助他们实现他们的台湾梦，对不对！

请各位放心，我会继续重视环境的保护与生态的保育，我们会重视农渔业的有序发展，我们更会重视人民对政府施政的感受。我在这里保证一定全力以赴，不达目标，绝不终止。 各位乡亲，我们赢了。但我们要像四年前一样，高兴一个晚上就好了，因为还有很多工作要做。

我要在这边特别强调，在竞选的过程当中，我听到了民进党蔡主席跟亲民党宋主席对我许多的批评与建议。我觉得他们的意见都非常的宝贵。我会了解，虽然看问题的角度不一样，但是我们关怀台湾的心都是一样的。因此我会感谢他们，并且慎重的研究及评估，只要对人民，对台湾人民有利的，我都一定会采纳。好不好！

未来，我连任之后，每半年至少会邀请在野的政治领袖共商国是，希望能真正找到对人民真正有利的政策，大家一起为台湾奋斗好不好！

在我这次竞选的过程当中，我跑遍台湾各地，倾听人民的声音，也不断地自我反省，我会仔细地检讨有哪一些的政策

受到人民的欢迎，我们会继续；哪些政策受到人民的批评，我们会检讨，会改进，必要的时候会停止。同时，我们会再继续征求大家的意见。我每个月都会邀请人民团体跟我座谈，深刻地听取大家的意见，把大家心头的话记下来。我会一一地、谦虚地进行必要的改进。

对此我特别要向各位报告，我们这次的连任，希望未来的四年，台湾弱势的民众能够得到更多的照顾，我们贫富的差距可以进一步地缩短，还有在经济方面我们一定要推动结构性的改变，让台湾有更多发展的空间，十年内我们要加入TPP跨太平洋经济协议，让台湾真正能脱胎换骨，好不好！ 同时，未来的四年，两岸的关系会更和谐会更有互信，冲突的机会会更小。我一定会让我们台湾有一个有序、和平、稳定的环境好不好！

同时，我一定会继续扩大我们跟国际社会互动的机会，让我们的人民能够更有尊严的遨游全世界，全世界走透透，让我们在全世界任何一条大马路上都能够昂首阔步。

我们希望加强跟全世界的文化交流，跟经贸的往来，让台湾在世界经济及文化的版图上能够昂然竖立，成为推动文化交流及经济发展重要的力量，好不好！

我们还要继续推动改革，我会大刀阔斧的来推动，让台湾脱胎换骨，要为我们台湾公平正义有序发展奠下坚强的基础。各位乡亲，我会用生命来扞卫“中华民国的主权”，台湾的安全和台湾人民的尊严，生生世世要为台湾奋斗到底，好不好！这是我对台湾最庄严的承诺。

最后我要特别感谢萧“副总统”在过去4年当中对我的支持。我们微笑老萧最厉害的地方就是在关键时刻提出关键对策，让我们过关。

同时我要谢谢吴敦义“院长”，他能够接受我的付托，担任“行政院长”。这两年多来不论是在经济的复苏，灾区的重建，跟疫情控制上都做得非常的成功。现在又要跟我一起在未来的4年中并肩作战，我要好好谢谢他。

同时我要谢谢连荣誉主席、吴荣誉主席、王金平“院长”，跟所有帮助我、支持我、鼓励我、包容我的党内先进伙伴们！ 我当然要谢谢我家人对我的支持。尤其是这一位（周美青）。她是我从政以来对我最大的支持力量，也是我家里面永远的反对党，永远用最严格、最犀利的标准检验我、帮助我、鼓励我。我要好好谢谢她！

我当然还要感谢所有一起和我打拼的行政团队，以及辛劳奔走的选战伙伴，还有千千万万热情乡亲，牺牲奉献的志工朋友们，谢谢大家！

最后，再次感谢投票支持我的这么多朋友们，因为各位坚强的支持、温暖的鼓励让我能够有继续奋斗的勇气，我要谢谢大家

蔡英文：民進黨的轉型和改革不會停止，我的心永遠跟台灣人民站在一起

【2012/1/14】

謝謝大家在這裡等，尤其下這麼大的雨，大家還這樣情意相挺，大家等我們來，來跟大家說一聲：謝謝，謝謝大家！ 我們在場的朋友、在電視機前面很多國人同胞，還有網路上的網友，大家晚安。

對於今天20xx年總統選舉的結果，我們敗選，我要在此向大家致上最深的歉意。

我們承認敗選，也願意接受台灣人民在這次選舉裡面所做的決定。我知道，很多支持者聽我這樣講或許會覺得心碎，可是在這裡，我們還是要恭喜馬總統。希望他在往後四年，要傾聽人民的聲音，要用心執政，要公平的照顧每一個人民，千萬不要辜負人民的期待。

我知道此刻大家的心情。今天，我相信有很多人原本期待勝利，但是，現實不盡如人意。但是，我要跟大家說，我們要堅強，我們一定要堅強，我們一定要比誰都堅強。我們是民進黨，我們過去在面對挫折的時候，我們從來沒有倒下過。以前不會，我知道，這一次也一定不會。

我要請大家回想一下，四年前，我們曾經是這麼的絕望，我們所要挑戰的山頂，曾經被認為是遙不可及。但是，我們咬著牙，整個黨團結在一起，在這四年，一步一步的往前走。這一次，我們已經接近山頂，我們還差一哩路。

我要告訴大家，這樣的結果很遺憾，但是，我們不是一無所有：

我們對小額募款的堅持，樹立了新的政治典範。我們提出的政策主張，在台灣未來的發展中，依然扮演關鍵的力量。 最重要的是，我們所團結的力量，是一股不可以忽視的力量，這一股力量，不能潰散，也不能消失。各位，你們真的不要

懷憂喪志。台灣不能沒有反對的聲音，台灣不能沒有制衡的力量。未來這四年，雖然我們沒有辦法以執政者的角色，來實踐我們的理想；但是，這並不代表，在野就沒有力量。 我相信，只要大家繼續站在我們身後，給我們支持，給我們鞭策，我們一定還有未來！下一次，我們一定可以走完最後一哩路！

接下來，我要以民主進步黨主席的身分，感謝大家對民主進步黨立委提名人的支持，讓民進黨的國會席次成長。他們未來，會在立法院扮演人民的代言人，會把人民的困難放在心上，努力提升公共政策的品質，讓每一個國民都得到最好的照顧。

民進黨的轉型跟改革，不會停止。我們堅持和弱勢人民站在一起，我們堅持政策理性，我們堅持以小額募款擺脫對財團的依賴。我們會一直做下去，總有一天，我們會贏得多數人民的信任。

雖然我們很努力，但是，我們要完成最後的理想，這條路比我們想像得更漫長，我們還可以做得更好。面對今天的結果，民進黨會認真的做一個檢討，會把它當作一個警惕。

敗選的責任，由我一肩扛起來。我剛剛已經宣布，辭去民主進步黨的黨主席。我相信，下一任的黨主席，一定會堅持，繼續堅持民進黨的改革轉型，帶領大家繼續走下去。

最後，蔡英文也要以個人的身分，感謝大家一路相伴。這四年，是很美好的旅程，我們一起並肩作戰，在我的心中，你們不只是投票給我的人，你們是我最好的夥伴。

今天晚上，我相信大家心裡都很難過；如果你心裡真的很難過，就讓它發洩出來。你可以哭泣，但不要洩氣。你可以悲傷，但是不要放棄。因為明天起來，我們要像過去四年一樣的勇敢，心裡充滿著希望。因為，我們必須勇敢地扛起這個國家的責任，我們必須樂觀地，繼續為台灣這塊土地打拼。 無論我們在哪個位置上，這個國家，都需要我們繼續愛她、呵護她。

各位親愛的台灣人民，有一天，我們會再回來，我們不會放棄。在20xx年的這一天，支持民進黨，支持蔡英文，我相信是一件驕傲的事。我們抬起頭，堅強勇敢的走下去。謝謝大家，我的心會永遠跟台灣人民站在一起。

第二篇：(演讲台)

Reading Comprehension 1

Questions 1 - 5 are based on the following passage:

Eye contact is a nonverbal technique that helps the speaker "sell" his or her ideas to an audience. Besides its persuasive powers, eye contact helps hold listener interest. A successful speaker must maintain eye contact with an audience. To have good rapport （关系） with listeners, a speaker should maintain direct eye contact for at least 75 percent of the time. Some speakers focus exclusively on their notes. Others gaze over the heads of their listeners. Both are likely to lose audience interest and esteem. People who maintain eye contact while speaking, whether from a podium （演讲台） or from across the table, are "regarded not only as exceptionally well-disposed by their target but also as more believable and earnest. "

To show the potency of eye contact in daily life, we have only to consider how passers-by behave when their glances happen to meet on the street. At one extreme are those people who feel obliged to smile when they make eye contact. At the other extreme are those who feel awkward and immediately look away. To make eye contact, it seems, is to make a certain link with someone.

Eye contact with an audience also lets a speaker know and monitor the listeners. It is, in fact, essential for analyzing an audience during a speech. Visual cues （暗示） from audience members can indicate that a speech is dragging, that the speaker is dwelling on a particular point for too long, or that a particular point requires further explanation. As we have pointed out, visual feedback from listeners should play an important role in shaping a speech as it is delivered.

1. This passage is mainly concerned with_____.

A) the importance of eye contact

B) the potency of nonverbal techniques

C) successful speech delivery

D) an effective way to gain visual feedbacks

2. According to the passage, a good speaker must _____.

A) "sell" his or her ideas to an audience

B) maintain direct eye contact with listeners

C) be very persuasive and believable

D) be exceptionally well-disposed

B）第一段第三句“To have good rapport?”即表明此意。

3. The word "target" in the last sentence of the first paragraph can best be replaced by

A) "destination"

B) "goal"

C) "audience"

D) "followers"

4. In daily life, when the glances of two passers-by happen to meet, these two persons will inevitably _____.

A) smile to each other

B) feel awkward and look away immediately

C) try to make a conversation with each other

D) none of the above

D）第二段中只讲到在这种情况下，不同的人有不同的反应或表现，并不是inevitably--非作出某种表现或反应不可。

5. Eye contact with an audience, according to the author, has all the following benefits for the speaker EXCEPT that it doesn't help the speaker _____.

A) to control the audience

B) to gain audience interest and esteem

C) to know whether he is talking too much about a certain point

D) to analyze his audience when he is beginning his speech

D）第三段第二句是讲“during a speech”。而选项 D）说的只是“When he is beginning his speech”，故应排除在外。

Questions 6 - 10 are based on the following passage:

After the very active and successful tenure （任职） of office by the Senegalese president as the head of the Organization of African Unity, it was highly logical to think that the successor, whoever he might be, would have a difficult task in doing a better job.

The Congolese president set to work as soon as he was elected. His first step was to suggest to the dean of heads of state present in the Ethiopian capital, President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, to summon a meeting of the leaders of countries that lie close to South Africa. Its aim: to define a strategy in order to overcome the reprisals （报复行为） that the racist regime of Pretoria is likely to take against its neighbours in case sanctions （制裁） are imposed by the international community.

President Sassou Nguesso has already undertaken a number of trips abroad. He thus went to Harare (Zimbabwe) where he delivered a speech, on September l,on behalf of Africa before the summit meeting of non-aligned （不结盟的） nations.

At the end of September, he was in New York, for a statement before the General Assembly of the United Nations, and then in Washington, for talks with high-ranking members of the Reagan Administration. He then went to Ottawa, for consultations with leading members of the Canadian government.

The Congolese president's aim, in all these endeavours, is to convince still reluctant countries of the imperious （紧迫的） necessity of imposing sanctions against the racist regime of Pretoria.

A) a person who enjoyed a successful career in politics

D) a Who's Who

A) 语言平直通俗，笔调比较客观，符合新闻报道的文体。

Questions 11 - 15 are based on the following passage:

Another common type of reasoning is the search for causes and results. We want to know whether cigarettes really do cause lung cancer, what causes malnutrition, the decay of cities, or the decay of teeth. We are equally interested in effects: what is the effect of sulphur or lead in the atmosphere, of oil spills and raw sewage in rivers and the sea, of staying up late on the night before an examination?

Causal reasoning may go from cause to effect or from effect to cause. Either way, we reason from what we know to what we want to find out. Sometimes we reason from an effect to a cause and then on to another effect. Thus, if we reason that because the lights have gone out, the refrigerator won't work, we first relate the effect (lights out) to the cause (power off) and then relate that cause to another effect (refrigerator not working). This kind of reasoning is called, for short, effect to effect. It is quite common to reason through an extensive chain of causal relations. When the lights go out we might reason in the following causal chain: lights out - power off - refrigerator not working - temperature will rise - milk will sour. In other words, we diagnose a succession of effects from the power failure, each becoming the cause of the next.

Causes are classified as necessary, sufficient, or contributory. A necessary cause is one which must be present for the effect to occur, as combustion is necessary to drive a gasoline engine. A sufficient cause is one which can produce an effect unaided, though there may be more than one sufficient cause: a dead battery is enough to keep a car from starting, but faulty spark plugs or an empty gas tank will have the same effect. A contributory cause is one which helps to produce an effect but cannot do so by itself, as running through a red light may help cause an accident, though other factors - pedestrians or other cars in the intersection - must also be present.

In establishing or refuting （驳倒） a causal relation it is usually necessary to show the process by which the alleged （所谓的） cause produces the effect. Such an explanation is called a causal process.

11. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about _____.

A) relationships between causes and results

B) classification of reasoning

C) some other common types of reasoning

D) some special type of reasoning

C）由本文第一句“Another common type of reasoning?”可推断前面所讲的很可能是其他的推理类型。

12. According to the passage, to do the "effect to effect" reasoning is to reason _____.

A) from cause to effect

B) from effect to cause

C) from effect to effect and on to cause

D) from effect to cause and on to another effect

D）从本文第二段第三行“Thus”开始，到第六行结束，即是对 effect to effect推理方法所作的这一解释。

13. A necessary cause is _____.

A) one without which it is impossible for the effect to occur

B) one of the causes that can produce the effect

C) one that is enough to make the effect occur

D) none of them

A）第三段的第二句话即阐明“a necessary cause”的含意。

14. Your refrigerator is not working and you have found that the electric power has been cut off.The power failure is a ____

A) necessary cause

B) sufficient cause

C) contributory cause

D) none of them

B）根据“a sufficient cause”的定义。因为仅“断电”一项原因，足以使“冰箱”停止工作。

15. This passage mainly discusses

A) causal reasoning

B) various types of reasoning

C) classification of causes

D) the causal process

A）通篇是对“causal reasoning”的讲述分析。

Questions 16 - 20 are based on the following passage:

(Words: )

I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another's hands for reassurance.

They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon （蚕茧）--- into a larger cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come -- with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.

16. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell _____.

A) readers how to be popular with people around

B) teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves

C) parents how to control and guide their children

D) people how to understand and respect each other

B）本文是对当前青少年的心理及行为加以剖析，强调青少年应“Find yourself．Be yourself”的观点。

17. According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them

A) have much difficulty understanding each other

B) lack confidence

C) dare not cope with problems single-handed

D) are very much afraid of getting lost

B) 第一段最后一句“?most of them are clutching at one anothers hands for reassurance” 即说明他们“lack confidence”。

18. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A) There is no popularity that really counts.

B) What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.

C) It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.

D) Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the same.

A）文中最后一句明确指出“That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts"。

19. The author thinks of advertisements as _____.

A) convincing

B) influential

C) instructive

D) authoritative

B）第三段第三句“These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be”即说明青少年会受广告宣传的影响。

20. During the teenage years, one should learn to _____.

A) differ from others in as many ways as possible

B) get into the right season and become popular

C) find one's real self

D) rebel against parents and the popularity wave

C) 最后一段中“Find yourself”即为“find one's real life”之意
