　　導(dǎo)師精解：這篇文章講的是要舉辦一個“新希望杯”英語演講比賽。文章中列舉了與比賽有關(guān)的種種內(nèi)容，包括了組織者、組織時間、比賽地點、比賽形式、獲獎獎勵等等。第一道題目，問的是這場全國性口語比賽共分幾個環(huán)節(jié)?考生可以通過迅速找到比賽形式部分，了解比賽的幾個環(huán)節(jié)：“Each Competitor will present a prepared speech on the given topic, followed by a five-minute off - hand speech and a three - minute question and answer period with the judges.”因此共有三個環(huán)節(jié)，答案為[C] three。第二道題目，問的是假設(shè)你參加了比賽，得到了第八名，那你能獲得什么獎品?考生可以通過迅速找到比賽獎品部分，了解比賽的獎品設(shè)置：“Prizes: Besides books and certificates, the top two winners will be offered scholarships to travel to the annual international English -speaking competition that will be held by the English Speaking Union in New Zealand in May, 2007. The third and fourth place winners will be offered a study trip to Singapore. The fifth through 10th place winners will be offered cash prizes. All the competitors will receive certificates and book prizes provided by Chinese English Teaching Research Institute.”因此，比賽的第五名到第十名得到獎品都是獎金、書和證書。

　　答案為[D] get some money , some books and a certificate。
