Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Eye contact is a nonverball 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 pdoium(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 liteners should play&

On the night of the eighteenth of April,1775,Revere rowed across the Charles River to a place opposite Boston where his saddled horse was ready to ride.if the British soldiers came,he was to ride to warn the people.A friend in Boston was hidden near the British troops in a place where he could watch what they did.If they marched by land,he was to hang one Lantern high in the tower of the old North Church in Boston where Paul could see it.If they came by sea,he would hang up two lanterns.
Toward morning Revere saw two lights in the tower.The British must be coming by sea!He jumped on his horse and rode through the countryside before dawn in order to warn the farmers and villagers that they must fight at daybreak.he rode all&

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically nonexistent.It is nothing for a big,strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus,much less stand up and offer his seat to her.
This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young mean,who say that,since women have claimed equality,they no longer deserve tobe treated with courtesy(礼貌、谦让) and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else.Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men.Even if it is not agreed,however,that young men should stand up for younger women,the fact remains that couresy should be shown to the old,the sick and the burdened.Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently reading the paper or a book,saying to ourselves `First come,first severd',while a grey-haired woman,a mother with a young child stands?Yet this is all too often seen.
Older people,tired and irritable from a day's work,are not an

gels,either-far from it.Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove each other to get on buses and tubes.One cannot commend this,of course,but on does feel there is just a little more excuse.
If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all,however,it seems imperative,not only that communications in transport should be improved,but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite.All over cities,it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite.Shop assistant's won't bother to assist,taxi drivers growl at each other as they dash dangerously round corners,bus conductors pul the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus,and so on and so on.It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.
31.From what you have read,would you expect manners to improve among people?
A) who are physically weak or crippled
B) who once lived in a prison-camp during the War
C) who live in big modern cities
D) who live only in small towns
32.What is the writer's opinion concerning courteous manners to wards women?
A) Now that women have claimed equality,they no longer need to be treated differently from men.
B) It is generally considered old-fashioned for young men to give up their seats to young women.
C) "Lady First" should be universally practised.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
The use of the motor car is becoming more and more widespread in the twentieth century;as an increasing number of countries develop both technically and economically,so a larger proportion of the world's peopulation is able to buy and use a car.Possessing a car gives a much greater degree of mobility,enabling the driver to move around freely.The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport and is,therefore,not compelled to work locall
上一页 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] 下一页
y.he can choose from different jobs and probably changes his work more frequently as he is not restricted to a choice within a small radius.Travelling to work by car is also more comfortable than having to use public transport;the driver can adjust the heating in winter and the air conditioning in the summer to suit his own needs and preference.There is no irritation caused by waiting for rains,buses or underground trains,standing in long patient queues,or sitting on windy platforms,for as long as half an hour sometimes.With the building of good,fast motorways long distances can be covered rapidly and pleasantly.For the first time in this century also,many people are now able to enjoy their leisure time to the full by mking trips to the country or seaside at the weekends,instead of being confined to their immediate neighbourhood.This feeling of independence,and the feedom to go where you please,is perhaps the greatest advantage of the car.
When considering the drawbacks,perhaps pollution is of prime importance.As more and more cars are produced and used,so the emission from their exhaust-pipes contains an ever larger volume of poisonous gas.Some of the contents of this gas,such as lead,not only pollute the atmosphere but cause actual harm to the health of people.It is also becoming increasingly difficult to deal with the problem of traffic in towns;most of the important cities of the world suffer from traffic congestion.In fact,any advantage gained in comfort is often cancelled out in city driving by the frustration caused by traffic jams.The mounting cost of petrol and the increased licence fees and road tax all add to the driver's worries.In fact,he must sometimes wonder if the motor car is such a blessing(幸事) and not just a meanace.
36.More and more people can afford to buy an use cars because______ .
A) an increasing number of cars are being produced
B) the cost of cars is getting cheaper with the development of the technology
C) lots of countries have become more developed
D) the use of cars has proved to be more economical
37.in paragraph 1,the underlined word "radius" means_______ .
A) distance
B) circular area
C) routine
D) period of time
38.The author believes that the motor car is .
A) rather a menace than a blessing
B) rather a blessing than a menace
C) a blessing as well as a menace
D) a blessing
39.The advantages of having a car are best experienced in the driver's_______ .
A) frecdom in choosing his job
B) comfort during the travels
C) enjoyment of his leisure time
D) feeling of self-reliance
40.What is considered by the writer as the greatest meanace to the people caused by the widespread use of motor cars?
A) Air pollution.
B) Traffic jams.
C) Fatal&nbs
