Unless you tune (定调) in the first 6

25、0 seconds, the chances are they will tune you out.Take the fellow who opens: “On my way over to the club tonight, I ran into a bum (流浪汉) who asked me for $ 49.50 for a cup of coffee. I told him hed do much better if he asked for a quarter. He said, “Do you think Im going into the Ritz in these cloth

26、es?” We know his purpose: to win his audience over with humor. His bit of humor, however, has no connection with his speech. He has his audience laughing at the wrong time. Once you have an audience laughing its hard to get them to switch to an entirely different train of thought. There is nothing w

27、rong with humor in a speech as long as it has something to do with the purpose of his speech. To open a speech with humor just to be entertaining invites an almost sure “turnoff” for the remainder of the talk.56. What, in a speech, determines its failure or success?A. The purpose of the speech. B. A

28、 sense of humor.C. The opening remarks. D. A forceful ending.57. If a speaker decides to be humorous, his humor should _.A. be connected with his subject B. make his audience laughC. be fresh and different D. be reserved for the end58. The underlined words mean _.A. to make your audience go away at

29、once B likely to cause your audience to lose interestC to switch their thoughts to other things D likely to have your audience laugh with you59. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. The opening part of your speech should not be long.B. Humor is important in the succe

30、ss of your speech.C. Your humor should be relevant (相关的) and timely.D. An outstanding speech is full of jokes.B The single, decisive factor(因素) that made it possible for mankind to settle in lasting communities(社区，聚居地) was agriculture. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC,

31、 people living in family units did not have to be on the move continually searching for food or hunting their animals. Once people could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable supply of it, their lives changed completely.Farming was a revolutionary discovery. It not only made se

32、ttlements possible and later the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply. With more food available, more people could be fed. Population therefore increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of new social formations. Wi

33、th more and more food, a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmers.Farming in the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams or regular rainfall. The first great civilizations grew up along rivers. Lat

34、er communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasons.All of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way, in spite of a few differences. As villages grew, the production of more numerous goods became possible. Cloth could be woven from wool. Houses made o

35、f wood, brick, and stone could be put up.The science of mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculture. People studied the movements of the moon, the sun, and the planets to work out seasons. In so doing they created the first calendars(日历). With a calendar it was possible to find out the arrival

36、 of each growing season. Measurement of land areas was necessary if field was to be divided accurately. Measurements of amounts, for example, of seeds or grains was also a factor in farming and housekeeping. Later came measures of value as money exchange became common.All of the major ancient civili

37、zations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China appeared in the 4th millennium BC. Historians still argue over which one came into being first. It may well have been the Middle East. This place reaches out from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine, then ea

38、stward into Asia to include Mesopotamia. In this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture. This kind of farming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.60. The final result of the development of agriculture was that_ . A. the population increas

39、ed slowly B. a constant supply of food was certain C. a new social formation came into being D. a variety of jobs were open to people61. Which of the following is true according to the writer? A. Mathematics helped create the agricultural society. B. Societies in the past in different parts of the w

40、orld grew in similar ways. C. Modern cities developed out of originally wealthier villages. D. Cloth-making marked an important period in agricultural development.62. The development of mathematics _ . A. enabled people to arrange their agricultural activities better B. got the society out of the ag

41、ricultural age C. helped create early agricultural civilization around the world D. made possible the exchange of agricultural goods63. It can be safely concluded that _ . A. the development of mathematics played a decisive role in the birth of modern cities B. the earliest civilization first came i

42、nto being in the Middle East C. all ancient civilizations around the world developed in exactly the same way D. the development of agriculture played a very important role in human history64. The text is mainly about _ . A. the importance of agriculture B. the relationship between agriculture and ma

43、nkind C. the origin of agriculture D. the ancient civilizationCDo you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (注意力) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results. If so, use

44、 these tips to help you.Study Techniquesl You should always study in the same place. You shouldnt sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Dont watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your

45、concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pe

46、ncils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.l Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.l Be realis

47、tic and dont try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat. Test-taking Skillsl All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too n

48、ervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.l Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some for

49、m of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.l When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply.

If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.DThe classical study of family size and

53、 IQ was conducted in the Netherlands. It was based on the military examinations of more than 386,000 Dutchmen. Researchers found that the brightest subjects came from the smallest families and had few, if any, brothers and sisters when they were born. Thus the firstborn child in .a family of two was

54、 usually brighter than the last child in a family.The effects of family size on intelligence may be explained by what a house full of children does to the home environment. It increases the amount of time a child spends with other children and decreases the amount of parental attention he or she rec

55、eives. For example, a parent with one restless child is likely to sit and play with the child. The same parent with two or three restless children is more likely to ask them to play with each other. Some psychologists say that when a child interacts (交往) with an adult alone, the child learns more an

56、d therefore intelligence is increased . Researchers have also found that parents often expect more from their firstborn , which motivates (激发) such children to seek a higher standard.Not all psychologists agree that firstborns tend to be more intelligent. They say that the data need to be examined m

57、ore closely for other possible explanations. For example, in industrialized nations most large families come from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Thus environment, not family size or birth order, may be influencing intelligence. On the other hand, there may be genetic variations (基因变异) within fami

58、lies that also explain the cause of differences.If firstborns have advantages in the area of intelligence, research has also shown that they may be more conforming (墨守成规) and have poorer social skills than their younger siblings (brothers and sisters ). Although more research needs to be done in thi

59、s area, it is clear that suchactors as birth order, the order in which boys and girls are bom into a family, the number of years that separate siblings probably have an effect on the development of intelligence, personality, and social relationships.68. The underlined word subjects in the first para

60、graph meansA. branches of knowledgeB. persons chosen to be studied in experimentsC. any member of a state except the top rulerD. something to be considered69. Psychologists are divided with regard to (关于) their opinions towardA. the way in which the data are explainedB. the advantages of firstborns

61、in the area of IQC. the planned size of familiesD. the factors influencing intelligence70. Why are firstborns encouraged to seek a higher standard ?A. They are more obedient (服从) and have poorer social skills.B. Their parents spend less time with other children.C. They obtain more attention from the

62、ir parents.D. Their parents expect more from them.71. The best title for this passage would beA. Family Size and IQ B. The Preference of Boys to GirlsC. The Development of Intelligence D. Factors Influencing IQENever go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping fo

63、r food before lunchtime, youll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isnt enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on

64、 sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, dont buy anything just because its cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you shou

65、ld examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers dont spend much money on packin

66、g or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these

67、 stores arent very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advant

68、age: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or

69、 is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.72. All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except _.A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”B. ordinary

70、products are usually cheaper than famous brandsC. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary itemsD. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands73. What does the writer think about ads?A. They are believable.B. They are attractive.C. They are full of misinforma

71、tion.D. They are helpful to consumers.74. One of the authors suggestions to consumers is _.A. to make use of adsB. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunchD. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands75

72、. The author implies that _.A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan toB. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively lowC. discount clothing stores are good places to go toD. ads sometimes dont tell the truth第二节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Ever
