填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}You are going to read a text about tips of how to make a good speech, followed by a list of examples and explanations. Choose the best example or explanation from the list A-F for each numbered subheading (41-45). There is one extra example which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Before you speak to any audience, you should learn as much about its members as possible. Only in that way can you best adapt the level of your language and the content of your talk to your listeners.41. Speaking to someone you know well. ______ Where are you likely to speak? Certainly, in this class you'll give several talks, and since you know most, ff not all, of the students, you should face no major problems in adapting your approach to them. Another speaking possibility exists in your workplace. A third speaking possibility exists in any organization (social, cultural, athletic, and so on ) that you belong to. You may be asked to speak at the next meeting or at the annual banquet. Here again, you know the people involved, their background, their education level, and their attitudes ? and that's a tremendous advantage for you. Since we're upbeat and positive in this course, we'll assume that you've given successful talks under all three circumstances, and with this course under your belt, you can do it again. Since good speakers are hard to. find and word about them travels fast, suppose that one day you get an invitation to speak to an organization in which you don't know a soul. What do you do now? If you feel able to handle the topic you're asked to speak on, accept this rare challenge. Here's where audience analysis comes into play. Be sure to ask the person who invited you for information on the members, information that encompasses a broad spectrum, such as in the following areas.42. How old are your listeners? ______43. Sex composition of your listeners. ______44. Interest in topic.45. Interests or hobbies of the listeners. [A] If you're invited to speak to a women's or men's organization, you know the answer to this question at once. Quite often, however, audiences are mixed fairly evenly, although at times one sex may predominate. [B] Do members of your prospective audience spend evenings watching TV movies and drinking beer at a local tavern, or do they read the Harvard Classics and attend concerts of Beethoven and Mozart? Do they play bingo and 21, or do they pursue the questions the intriguing intricacies of contract bridge and chess? Answers to these questions can help you choose the most appropriate material and language for your audience. Your choices can be crucial in determining the success or failure of your presentation. [C] Are the members recent college graduates, senior citizens, or business executives in midcareer? Just remember, age exerts a powerful impact on people's attitudes, values and motivations. [D] For example, your department manager may ask you to explain and demonstrate a procedure to some fellow employee. Or she may select you to address your department on behalf of the local blood donor drive. In both speech situations--in class and on the job— you're familiar with your audience; you speak their language; you have things in common with them. [E] Are you aware of the educational background of your audience? How many of them have doctoral degrees, master degrees or bachelor degrees? This will decide what kind of language you should adopt and how much they can understand. [F] Are the members of the organization interested in the topic or are they required to attend regardless of their interest? If the latter is true, what types of material will most likely pique their curiosity?

填空题______ (哪一门课你更喜欢) English or maths?

填空题The image of the Briton abroad, speaking English slowly and loudly in the expectation that eventually the natives will get the idea, is a stereotype with a good deal of truth behind it. According to a survey by the European Commission last year, just 30% of Britons can converse in a language other than their own (only Hungarians did worse). Bad as these figures are, they are flattered by the one in ten residents of Britain who speak a language other than English at home. The next generation is unlikely to do even this well. (1) . Around four in five of all English state schools allow their students to abandon languages at 14 and some private schools are starting to follow suit. In 2006 only half of all students took a foreign-language GCSE exam——the standard test for 16-year-olds. (2) . Whatever the recommendations, the place of languages in the secondary-school curriculum may no longer be the government's to decide. Young people hoping to do a degree at a prestigious university may find themselves having to study a foreign language until at least the age of 16. (3) . Other universities are also concerned. On December 3rd a letter calling for the government to restore the compulsory status of language teaching after 14 was published in The Observer, a Sunday newspaper. The 50 signers of the letter represented many of the country's top universities, some of which may follow UCL's lead, if they don't like what Lord Dearing has to say. (4) . And this year English was added to the curriculum studied by Mexican primary-school children, who are learning the language along with 200,000 teachers. According to David Graddol of the British Council, a cultural organization, "within a decade nearly a third of the world's population will all be trying to learn English at the same time." (5) . Competent bilinguals? Many of whom have traveled in the course of acquiring English, can offer everything that native speakers of English (and just English) can as well as an extra language and an international perspective. Even Britons, however, are willing to learn a language if they can see the benefit of doing so. Nic Byrne, who runs the language Centre at the London School of Economics, surveyed university language centers around Britain. He discovered that tens of thousands of students are studying a language in their own time, or as a small part of their degree. Many are hoping to spend a year studying abroad, and recognize that a language and a life-changing experience will get them better jobs. A. Enthusiasm for English is spreading all over the world. More than a fifth of Japanese five-year-olds now attend classes in English conversation. Countries like Chile and Mongolia have declared their intention to become bilingual in English over the next decade or two. B. More subtly, as British native English speakers are increasingly outnumbered by people who speak English as a second language, the future of their own language is passing from their hands. C. At first sight this means that things are about to get even more comfortable for native English speakers; they needn't lift a finger to learn other people's subjunctives. But the problem is that they will lose the competitive advantage that once came with being among the relatively few to speak the world's most useful language. D. Fewer young people are studying languages in school, a trend that has accelerated since 2004, when the government allowed English schools to make foreign languages optional for students aged 14 and over. Even those who are keen on languages often drop them at this stage now, as schools offer a narrower choice of languages and schedule them against other subjects. E. Native English speakers often complain that they would study a foreign language, if only they, like the rest of the world, knew which to choose. But the freedom to choose a second tongue is really more a blessing than a curse. F. Worried by the rush to the exit, in October the education secretary, Alan Johnson, asked Lord (Ron) Dearing, a former boss of the Post Office, to look at the state of language teaching in English schools. G. On December 12th the committee on admissions policy at University College London (UCL) voted to phase in a requirement for all applicants to have a GCSE or equivalent in a modern foreign language. Michael Worton, the committee's chairman, says the idea is to persuade young people—and schools— that studying a language is necessary and worthwhile.

填空题A. The "oceans of Spam" problem B. It"s all garbage C. The free ride D. It"s worse than computer viruses E. The theft of resources F. It might be illegal Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most Spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. We often get very upset when we receive e-mail which was not requested. 1 Spam costs the sender very little to send—most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender. For example, AOL has said that they were receiving 1.8 million Spams from Cyber Promotions per day until they got a court injunction to stop it. Assuming that it takes the typical AOL user only 10 seconds to identify and discard a message, that"s still 5,000 hours per day of connect time per day spent discarding their Spam, just on AOL. By contrast, the Spammer probably has a T1 line that costs him about $100/day. No other kind of advertising costs the advertiser so little, and the recipient so much. 2 At the moment, most of us only get a few Spams per day. But imagine if only 1/ 10 of 1% of the users on the Internet decided to send out Spam at a moderate rate of 100,000 per day, a rate easily achievable with a dial-up account and a PC. Then everyone would be receiving 100 Spams every day. If 1% of users were Spamming at that rate, we"d all be getting 1,000 spares per day. If Spam grows, it will crowd our mailboxes to the point that they"re not useful for real mail. Users on AOL report that they"re already nearing this point. 3 An increasing number of Spammers, such as Quantum Communications, send most or all of their mail via innocent intermediate systems. This fills the intermediate systems" networks and disks with unwanted Spare messages, takes up their managers" time dealing with all the undeliverable Spare messages, and subjects them to complaints from recipients who conclude that since the intermediate system delivered the mail, they must be in league with the Spammers. Many other Spammers use "hit and run" Spamming in which they get a trial dial-up account at an Internet provider for a few days, send tens of thousands of messages, then abandon the account, leaving the unsuspecting provider to clean up the mess. Many Spammers have done this tens or dozens of times, forcing the providers to waste staff time both on the cleanup and on monitoring their trial accounts for abuse. 4 The Spam messages I"ve seen have almost without exception advertised stuff that"s worthless, deceptive, and partly or entirely fraudulent. It"s Spam software, funky miracle cures, off-brand computer parts, vaguely described get-rich-quick schemes, dial-a-porn, and so on downhill from there. It"s all stuff that"s too cruddy to be worth advertising in any medium where they"d actually have to pay the cost of the ads. 5 Some kinds of Spam are illegal in some countries on the Internet. Especially with pornography, mere possession of such material can be enough to put the recipient in jail. In the United States, child pornography is highly illegal and we"ve already seen Spammed child porn offers. Any one of these would be enough to make me pretty unhappy about getting junk e-mail. Put them together and it"s intolerable.
