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 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 contactB、the potency of nonverbal techniquesC、successful speech deliveryD、an effective way to gain visual feedbacks2. According to the passage, a good speaker must _______.A、“sell”his or her ideas to an audienceB、maintain direct eye contact with listenersC、be very persuasive and believableD、be exceptionally well-disposed3. 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 otherB、feel awkward and look away immediatelyC、try to make a conversation with each otherD、none of the above5. 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 audienceB、to gain audience interest and esteemC、to know whether he is talking too much about a certain pointD、to analyze his audience when he is beginning his speech(10分)[2]Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Personal computers and the Internet (互联网) give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience. E-mail (电子邮件) makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic (电子的) mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun - see a great film, perhaps - and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story. With e-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方便), and address it to all the friends you think might be interesteD、They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience. E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away.More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college. We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate (排除) any of the old ways.1. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A、explain how to use the InternetB、describe the writer's joy of keeping up with new technologyC、tell the merits and usefulness of the InternetD、introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet2. The use of e-mail has made it possible for the writer to ________.A、spend less time workingB、have more free time with his childC、work at home on weekendsD、work at a speed comfortable to him3.

The best subject for this passage is ________.A、Computers: New Technological AdvancesB、Internet: A New Tool to Make FriendsC、Computers Have Made Life EasierD、Internet: A Convenient Tool for Communication(10分)[3]Questions 1---5 are based on the following passage:More than one-sixth of the American working –age population ---- close to 27 million people --- do not owe allegiance(效忠) to a single employer. According to Link Resources, the number will have risen to 36.5 million by the year 2001.These people work mainly from home, selling their skills in the open marketplace. What is new is that it will influence social classes and it promises to redefine the nature of work in the 21st century.Terri Lonier's business, Working Solo Inc., offers advice to people who wish to go it alone and to big businesses eager to make use of those with skills. Lonier works in the Hudson Valley, 70 miles north of New York. She reaches her followers through her web site (www. Workingsolo. com) and has clients (客户) all over America, most of them a continent away in California's Silicon Valley. She says that the new working culture began to develop fast in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when personal computers became affordable to large groups of people.The age of the computer has come with the period of big business downsizing and a growing concern about the quality of people's lives. A good example is a Hollywood film Jerry Maguire. Dissatisfied with the inefficiency of his job, Maguire lectures his bosses on the importance of honesty and quality. However, Maguire is fired, but he rebuilds his life as a self-governed sports representative, discovering that the escape from the control of the company was the necessary first step towards greater happiness.“This has happened very quietly. Traditional jobs will not be the only way we organize work in the future; soon they may not even be the most common way.”1. What is the best title of this passage?A、Terri Lonier's Mission.B、Tom Cruise's Sports CompanyC、A New Working Revolution.D、A New Definition of Working.2. According to the passage, who are those who don't owe allegiance to a single employer?A、Those who aren't satisfied with their employers.B、Those who have a web site.C、Those who work under pressure.D、Those who have a saleable skill.3. What's the business of Terri's Working Solo Inc.?A、Offer advice to individuals who wish to go it alone.B、Offer advice to any business which is eager to employ self-governed employees with skills.C、Offer advice to businesses in California's Silicon Valley.D、Both A and B.4. According to Terri Lonier, the emerging style of work is mainly conditioned on ________.A、downsizing big businessB、people’s great desire to escape from traditional way of working for a changeC、people’s dissatisfaction with the inefficiency of workD、the widespread of personal computer5. The new working culture can provide all of the following benefits for the employees EXCEPT __________.A、the improvement of the quality of their lifeB、flexible working timeC、the possibility of leading a self-sufficient lifeD、easy access to their own affairs(10分)[4]Questions 1---5 are based on the following passage:A few thousand years ago, people lived about thirty years. From their point of view, we have already extended our lives to an amazing degree. However, from where we stand today, we can see that we still have a long way to go. Some people still die in their 40’s from cancer, heart attack, stroke, and infections. This is tragic, and frustrating. Today's medicine is only somewhat able to deal with these and other conditions -- and it has scarcely started to attack the problem of aging. But we can see light at the end of the tunnel.Fifty years from now, what causes of death will be preventable? That depends largely on the technology we will have available, so let's start by projecting some technology tendencies. Gene sequencing and identification will be as easy as a blood sugar test. Medical devices such as artificial hearts and insulin(胰岛素) pumps will be implantable (可植入的) and well-integrated with the body's natural demands. Surgical(外科的) instruments will be more delicate and less destructive; what today is “major surgery”will be done with an office visit. Computers will be millions of times faster than today's machines. Last but not least, we will probably have the ability to build strong, useful, complex machines out of individual atoms. This is called “nanotechnology”(纳米技术) or simply “nanotech”, and it will make us healthier in several important ways.Can we expect technology to solve all our medical problems? With the following explanations, it will become clear that nanotech can solve most or all of the medical problems that might keep us from being in good health, thus allowing us to remain in a state of good health for many decades or even centuries.1. According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A、We have a bright future in dealing with aging problem.B、Modern people have a surprisingly longer life span than ancient peopleC、Modern people should take credit for having developed medicine to conquer such life-threatening diseases as cancer or heart attack.D、The problem of aging seems to present more questions than answers2. How many technology trends have been mentioned here?A、3B、4C、5D、63. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to paragraph 2?A、Some man-made medical devices can work well with natural body organs.B、Nanotech has found a wide application in guaranteeing a healthier life.C、Technology possessed by human beings plays a dominant role in preventing certain deaths.D、Thanks to technology, gene identification can be done with ease.4. Where is this passage most likely to be taken from?A、A magazine for nanotech specialists.B、A front page of a newspaper.C、A special government report.D、A magazine with a general readership.5. What will this passage probably discuss next?A、Nanotech and human health.B、Conditions of good health.C、Different medical problems.D、Other technology tendencies.答案部分，(卷面共有4题,40.0分,各大题标有题量和总分)一、Reading Comprehension 阅读理解(4小题,共40.0分)(10分)[1]答案1.

My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me, and then after each paragraph, she told me the general meaning of what we just reaD、In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't reaD、My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class staring at the page, pretending I was reading it.I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get into trouble for not being able to understanD、I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me.
