(A)
To be a good interviewer you must learn to listen―both to others and to yourself.
“A lot of times we beat ourselves,” says Pat Stith, a Pulitzer-winning investigative reporter for the Raleigh News & Observer. “We don't listen. We don't ask simple questions. We just talk, and we talk, and we talk. We forget why we're there. (We are there to acquire information.) When we're talking, we're not acquiring anything.”
Effective interviewing is a pillar of good reporting and writing. The ability to talk comfortably with people and to persuade them to give you information is one of the reporter's most impotant skills. Yet journalists get little or no training in this vital aspect of their job. Most learn by painful trial and error.
To help rectify(调整)that situation, this Best Newspaper Writing brown bag is devoted to interviewing skills. Listen to winners and finalists talk about successful interviewing techniques, practise some of these tips, and explore other resources.
“Somebody once wrote that there's no more seductive sentence in the English language than, ‘I want to hear your story,' and maybe they're right,” Albom said in Best Newspaper Writing 1996. “Because often you don't have to do any more than just say that.”
During my reporting career, using a tape recorder taught me my most important lesson of interviewing: to shut up. It was a painful learning experience, having to listen to myself stepping on people's words, cutting them off just as they were getting enthusiastic or appeared about to make a revealing statement. There were far too many times I heard myself asking overly long and leading questions, instead of simply saying, “Why?” or “How did it happen?” or “What do you mean?” and then closing my mouth and letting people answer.
1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to talk with people
B. How to ask questions
C. The experience of a reporter
D. Listening―the important skill of successful interviewing
2. “… there's no more seductive sentence in the English language than, ‘I want to hear your
story,' …” implies .
A. “I want to hear your story” sounds very pleasant to the ears
B. as an interviewer it's important to offer chances to others to talk
C. people are happy to tell you a story if you tell them “I want to hear your story”
D. people are cheated to talk if they hear “I want to hear your story”
3. In the last paragraph the underlined word “It” refers to “ ”.
A. to shut up when others are talking
B. interviewing some important persons
C. using a tape recorder in an interview
D. having to listen to myself stepping on people's words, cutting them off just as they were
getting enthusiastic or appeared about to make a revealing statement
4. According to the passage it's safe to say .
A. only through special training can a reporter learn the skill of interviewing
B. a reporter should keep his mouth closed and let people talk all the time
C. interviewing plays an important role in reporting and writing
D. any reporter can get useful information when he (she) gives an interview to people
(B)
She is one of the China's fifty most successful business leaders and she has been described as being “bigger than Oprah”. Well known to one billion viewers, Yang Lan is among China's most popular TV personalities. Born in Beijing in 1968, Yang Lan began her career as the host for the popular “Zheng Da TV show”. She was only 21 at the time and had just graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University. Becoming the host of a show with an audience of 200 million at such a young age was a big challenge, but Yang Lan was ready for it and quickly became popular.
Many of us would probably have stayed on to enjoy the fame and money that come with being a TV star, but Yang Lan had more important plans. She left the show after four years and went to New York City to get a Master's degree at Columbia University. Her experience abroad inspired her and she made up her mind to create a new kind of TV station for Chinese viewers. When Yang Lan returned to China, she decided to develop her interests in business. Together with her husband, she started her own media company, Sun Media.
When Yang Lan grew up, TV was a new thing at the time, but Yang Lan thought that the powerful medium could be used in a different way. She wanted to make new shows that were both entertaining and educational. When she was studying abroad, she produced a feature show called “Horizon”. The show introduced American popular culture to Chinese viewers. Viewers liked the first season of “Horizon”, but Yang Lan wanted to do something more serious and meaningful. The following year, she began in interviewing important people, such as Dr Henry Kissinger, and discussing social issues. Her viewers were pleased and the show became even more popular. She later devoted “Yang Lan One on One”, having interviewing more than 300 opinion leaders around the world.
Note:
Oprah- Oprah Winfrey, the American TV personality.

e. studying in Beijing Foreign Studies University
A. e, b, c, a, d B. b, e, d, c, a C. e, b, d, c, a D. b, e, c, d, a

9. D
解析:都是表目的的短语,但so that和in order that引导从句,而so as to不放在句首。
10. B
解析:词组用法的考查。全句的意思是“每个人都不期望被指控有罪”。其中,look forward
to中的to是介词,后面要接名词或动名词,而accuse sb of sth or doing sth在此处要用被

5. D
解析:经济条件不好,所以“承担”不了蜜月的费用。

说她是天使,那只是这对夫妇的美好想象。而且不管怎样,她当时就是到“那里”来祝福
新人的。
8. C
解析:既是祝愿,肯定祝愿“美好”。他们后来儿孙满堂,夫妇恩爱。他们用这些来证实
了女人祝福,而这些也正是生活中美好的东西。
9. B
解析:他们从不知道(后来也还是不知道)那个女人的任何事情,所以当他们意识到要问
一下时,那个女人很快“消失不见”了。正因如此,他们后来一直念念不忘这个神秘的陌生女人,而且对她的身份有各种猜想。
10. D
解析:最能勾起他们对新婚那天回忆的日子肯定就是每年的“结婚纪念日”。
11. B
解析:此处指“回想起”那天的情形。
12. A
解析:他们自始至终对那个女人一无所知,所以只能是“陌生”而且神秘。
13. B
解析:妻子认为那个女人是天国里来完成使命的信使,but说明他们意见不一致,而丈夫
觉得她只是“碰巧”到了他们的那个教堂,并非有意。
14. D
解析:上文有on some heavenly mission,可见妻子认为她来自“天国”,而丈夫认为她来
自邻镇。
15. B
解析:岁月已经远去,那个女人是谁已经不重要了,“而重要的是”她为他们带来了美好
的祝愿,而他们用一生证实了这个祝愿是正确的,所以即便是她又老又矮又胖,但她还是
他们的天使。

3. D
解析:这里it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面提到的那些惨痛的经历,所以选D。
4. C
解析:此题可通过排除法完成。由第三段可知选项A的说法过于绝对,所以不符合题意;
由最后一段可知选项B的表述也不正确;全文都在讲采访的重要性,由第三段第一句可
知选项C是正确的;根据全文的意思可以得出选项D表述是不正确的。故选C。
5. B
解析:第一段第一句讲到了杨澜的知名度,所以选项B是正确的。
6. A
解析:根据文章讲到的这些事件的顺序,选项A是正确的。
7. D
解析:细节题。由第三段第二句可知是集娱乐性和教育性为一体的节目。
8. C
解析:本文客观地介绍了杨澜的事业进程,所以选项C作为标题更加合适。选项A,B
和C都属于同一类题目,以这些题目写的文章就应该着重讲述她是如何成功的以及她的
重要影响,与本文风格不符。

What makes a child speak a language has long been a puzzle to linguists (语言学家). 36 speaking, there are two schools of linguists, both of 37 try to explain 38 a child picks up a language so easily. The fact that a child picks up a language 39 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 40 "bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to 41 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 42 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 43 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 44 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 45 , hold the view that a child learns 46 of his language from the hints in the environment. 47 , theorists of both schools 48 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 49 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 50 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 51 their own theory, but 52 side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to 53 why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 54 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguists, like De Villiers, have recognized the value of cooperation, and 55 linguists of both sides to work together.

The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us to adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.
But there is a way to handle pain. kook at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.
The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude towards it. ff the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.
56. What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity'" in the first paragraph?
A. We have to take care of our sense of' pain. B. We suffer from our sense of feeling.
C. We should try hard to resist pain. D. We are hurt when we feel pain.

I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school day's, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader's Digest to test our vocabulary.
Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out "It pays to Enrich your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader's Digest knows the power that words have to move people — to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: "Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk."
Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That's usually how it is with Reader's Digest. Small and simple can be profound.
As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I've been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hope", "guts", "faith", "dreams". Those am words that move people and say' so much about the spirit of America.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle — if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a "secret" that I hope I never forget.
64. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. one of the many old memories B. using simple words to express profound ideas
C. Reader's Digest and school speeches D. how to make effective speeches
65. It seems that Reader's Digest is a magazine popular with _________.
A. people of all ages B. teenagers C. school teachers D. elderly readers
66. The author's "secret" is _________.
A. to avoid using big words at any time
B. to use words that have the power to move people
C. to work a miracle by using a small word
D. to use small and simple words where possible
67. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people ________.
A. hope, courage, and ideas B. confidence, determination, and strength
C. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragement D. entertainment, information, and power
D
There are two kinds of memory: short-mm and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.
Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.
To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.
Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.
68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.
B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.
C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long, term memory.
D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.
69. From Henning's result we can see that ________.
A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of words
B. advanced students always remember words by their meaning
C. it is difficult to remember words that sound alike
D. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning
70. The word "subject" in the passage means _________.
A. memory B. the theme of listening material
C. a branch of knowledge studied D. the student experimented on
71. The passage centers on ________.
A. memory B. two kinds of memory
C. short-term memory D. an experiment on students
E
Successful innovations (改革) have driven many older technologies to extinction (灭绝) and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials and the speed of flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use for each person. The history of industrial development has a great number of examples.
In 1870, homes and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farmers. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings, a ratio (比率) that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological mm of mind. Had they been "economists", they would probably have projected the 1970 home or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been "technologists", they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed (受……约束) to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the home and mule population would decline rapidly.
72. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?
A. Older technologies die away. B. The quality of life is improved.
C. Overall productivity increase. D. More raw materials become necessary.
73. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 ________.
A. technology began to be more economical
B. the steam engine had not been invented
C. the U.S. horse population was about 10 million
D. a national commission on agriculture had been established
74. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that "economists" would ________.
A. plan the economy through yearly forecasts
B. fail to consider the influence of technological innovation
C. value the economic contribution of farm animals
D. consult the national commission on the economy
75. What is the author's attitude towards changes brought on by technological innovations?
A. He is excited about them B. He accepts them as natural
C. He is disturbed by them D. He questions their usefulness
