11、dreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themesanything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one

12、of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a complicated idea until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the boo

13、ks I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)There was yet another high school list I ma

14、de. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the hundred most important books of Western Civilization. More than anything else in my life, the professor told the reporter with finality, these books have made me all that

15、 I am. That was the kind of words I couldnt ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Platos The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what

16、the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.21On hearing the teachers suggest

26、literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines(学科)，philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: art, history, law, language, literature

27、, mathematics, medicine, psychology, religion, science, and values. Philosophy is one of the worlds oldest subjects of study, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate(博士学位) of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in biochemistry, or computer s

28、cience, or psychology.Two broad sub-fields of philosophy arelogicand thehistory of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods

29、in the development of philosophy.Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of p

30、hilosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens ones ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a la

31、rge quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining ones first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies onl

32、y for the purpose of getting ones first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict.28According to Parag

33、raph 1, philosophy can best be described as the study of_.Asocial sciencesBnatural sciencesCboth social and natural sciencesDthe subject matter of politics29With the study of philosophy, you can_.Abecome a great leaderBsucceed in everythingCfind a good job soon after graduationDmake progress in your

34、 career development30According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?APhilosophy is an independent discipline. BLogic helps you to become a better thinker.CThe study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.DThe meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.31From the passage

35、, we can conclude_.Anot all the subjects have to do with philosophyBa person will get a Ph.D. if he/she studies philosophyCphilosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjectsDphilosophy is the only solution to all the problems to the world DIt may help you to know that there is no such thi

36、ng as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speak

37、er does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during

38、 a speech, that doesnt really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech“I Have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you dont remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather

39、 than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speechmaking as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking

40、for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, dont worry about being perfect. Once you f

41、ree your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.32The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will _.Abe smarter than youBnotice your mistakesCdo better than youDknow what you are talking about33You dont remember obvious mistakes in a speech because_.A

42、your attention is on the content Byou dont fully understand the speechCyou dont know what the speaker plans to sayDyou find the way of speech-making more important34It can be inferred from the passage that_.Agiving a speech is like giving a performanceBone or two mistakes in a speech may not be badC

43、the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeDthe more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be35What would be the best title for the passage?AHow to Be a Perfect SpeakerBHow to Make a Perfect SpeechCDon t Expect a Perfect SpeechDDont Expect Mistakes in a Speech第二节:

Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation of good manners. The word taboo comes from the Tongan language

45、 and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. 36 They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a groups values and beliefs. What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in anoth

46、er.Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to ones manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public. In some countries, the volume of ones voice may

47、 annoy people. 37 38 For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western, Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact. In the US, people make eye contact when they talk to others. 39 In many Asian and African cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talkin

48、g to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries. 40 Also, in some Asian

49、 countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or talking with your hands, is considered unsuitable.Behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to en

50、sure a more enjoyable trip.ANonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.BIn Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.CIn spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.DCancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.ELearn a countrys custo

51、ms so that you dont hurt the local people unconsciously.FThey might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.GIf a person avoids eye contact, others might think they are being dishonest or unconfident.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，

I simply mean that the 44 of them made me 45 more what I had.Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality.
