M: Why? Jenny? You look unhappy.
F:  I lost my temper at an old man just now, and I feel terrible.
M: Oh, you shouldn't have done that. But why did you lose your temper?
F:  Lack of patience. He was counting out the coins, one by one, with his fumbling fingers. I was filled with exasperation at the checkout point. Finally, I said to him: can' t you count faster? Not everyone has as much time as you ! he flushed. Suddenly I realized just how cruel I had been. Because I, too, could become dependent on the kindness of strangers one day when I get as old.
M: Did you say sorry to him?
F:  Yes. But I just wonder, how I can become more patient. You know, when you are impatient, you are apt to be rude. And such behavior is counter-productive, making people angry or stubborn or uncooperative.
M: Yes, I sometimes act impatiently, honking my horn the moment the light changed, speaking sharply to someone slow to understand. We really should learn various approaches for calming ourselves in stressful situations. I have even found some books to help me. There is some useful advice.
F:  Can you tell me something about what you have read in those books?
M: Well, one of the books says that we should allow for marginal error.
F:  What does that mean?
M: that means it is better to provide a margin for error Impatient people don't like to waste time, so they cut things too closely, For example, if you are going for an appointment, you should plan for delays.
F:  Well...

F:  When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you find a trashcan to put it in because Uttering make our planet dirty. Do you like seeing trash all over the ground?
M: No, I don' t. do you have any final suggestions?
F:  Yes. We shouldn't waste paper because trees are being cut down to make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forests where animals live.
M: So, how can children recycle paper, I mean, everyday?
F:  Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save the newspapers so that I could make use of them instead of just throwing them away. Now, the children in our neighborhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a recycling center.
M: That is great. Well thanks Alex for your ideas.

   The humorous story may be spun out to great length, and may wander around as much as it pleases, and arrive nowhere in particular; but the comic story and the witty story must be brief and end with a point. The humorous story bubbles gently along, the other two burst. The art of telling a humorous story--I mean by word of mouth, not print--was created in American, and has remained at home. The humorous story is told gravely; the teller does his best to conceal the fact that he even dimly suspects that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of the comic story tells you beforehand that it is one of the funnies things he has ever heard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the fist person to laugh when he gets through. And sometimes, ff he has had good success, he is so glad and happy that he will repeat the "nub' of it and glance around from face to face, collecting applause, and then repeat it again. It is a pathetic thing to do.

   The 23^rd Olympic games were held in Los Angeles and, like every other Olympic Games, they represented a contest of mind, muscle, and athletic determination. The use of high technology, however, showed increasing significance in the staging of the event and helped set an example for staging future events. This Olympics are not just a race of the gold anymore, they have also become a race for computer technology. For example, in this event, computers were used to keep track of schedules, accounts, transportation, and ticketing for more than 43000 Olympic employees and volunteers. This was not an easy task. A sophisticated electronic message system, moreover, helped keep the 12000 or so journalists up-to-date on results. Due to this system, they were able to know about and broadcast to the world the judges' final decision usually within a minute' s time. This message system also allowed traffic controllers to relay traffic reports more efficiently, so that the usually chaotic Los Angeles highways became easy to navigate through. Computers and other high-tech tools were also used to train American athletes by analyzing and evaluating performances. This computer wizardry assisted the athletes in identifying weaknesses and suggesting ways to improve.

   Cigarettes are big business, especially in the eastern state of Kentucky, where about 30 percent of adults and more than a third of young people smoke. According to the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, the tobacco industry spends roughly 76 million dollars a year to market their products in the state. That money buys advertisements to keep current smokers, encourage them to try new brands or to grab the attention of new potential smokers. Health advocates say cigarette makers must lure 3,000 new smokers to the habit each day and many of them are young people.

   US Secretary of State Colin Powell is trying to strengthen the fragile cease-fire between the Israeli government and the Palestine Authority that has held more or less for almost two weeks. After meeting Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Ararat in the West Bank town of Ramallah , Secretary Powell told a news conference he agrees there is a need for international observers. Mr. Powell did not offer any thoughts on the size or composition of such a team of observers, but the switch in the United States' position saying now that international help is necessary, was a big surprise. Israeli officials have long been opposed to the idea of any significant foreign presence examining the violence that broke out last September.

文章第一段One of the easiest distractions to eliminate is the too soft voice．这句话可以为本题目提供正确答案。

D

选项D的意思为：“演说时音量的正确使用”。本文的主旨陈述在第一段第四句：“你会发现有必要调整自己的音量，以便适宜于(accommodate)会议室的大小、听众的数量、室内装饰以及周围的噪音量(或：你会发现有必要根据会议室的大小、听众的数量、室内装饰以及周围的噪音量适当调整音量)。”文章第二、三、四段分别从这几方面更详细地说明了根据演讲时的情景调整音量的必要性。最后一段还指出：应该根据听众的反应来及时调整音量。A太抽象、太宽泛，因此不对：B意为：“体势语在演讲时的使用”：C意为：“演讲者在演讲过程中所面临的各种干扰”。本文说明的重点是演讲者如何排除干扰、合理调整自己的音量，以便让听众听清自己的演讲。

A

提问部分意为：“第一段第二句旨在说明……”。选择项A意为：“干扰会影响交流的进行(或：干扰会使交流难以进行)。”原文第一、二句指出：在完成交流的过程中，听众要消耗一定量的能量(指其注意力等)，如果有干扰因素占去这一能量的一部分(指使听众分b等)，达成交流的可能性就会降低。本文主要谈的是从演讲者的角度如何克服干扰、调整音量，以确保交流的顺利进行。

B

文章最后一段指出，演讲者还应注意听众中表现出的其他暗示他们也许会通过体势语表示自己听不到或听不清演讲的内容。A意为：“用幻灯机帮助自己”；C意为：“提高嗓门以获得特殊效果”；D意为：“不理睬来自于环境的干扰”

D

文章第一段指出，the Odyssey has always been more popular than the Iliad，perhaps because it includes more features of mythology that are accessible to readers，由此可见，正确答案因该为D。

C

用 Maynard Mack的分类方法，作者在文章中比较了荷马的两部史诗Odyssey 和Ilia D

B

作者认为Odyssey的主题是把生活当作一连串事件变化所产生的景象。因此读者是由外部观察生活，而不是从 Achilles的内心来体验生活。

D

作者在第一句“Of Homer's two epic poems，the Odyssey has always been more popular than the Iliad，perhaps because it includes more features of mythology that are accessible to readers．”就写出了Iliad没有Odyssey流行，因为Odyssey包含更多的神话特征，文章后面，作者认为Iliad的主人公不是一个特别可爱的人物。

D

文章的第一段列举了一系列的缺陷，只有D项没有被提及。

D

根据文章中的“…culminated in the first women's rights conference held at Seneca Falls，New York，in 1848.”一句可知美国和欧洲的妇女运动在1848年的 Seneca Falls 会议达到顶峰。

B

根据文章中的“By 1832 feminism was the central concern of Saint-Simonianism and entirely absorbed its adherents energy；hence，by ignoring its feminism，European historians have misunderstood Saint-Simonianism．”可知1832年前 Saint-Simonianism 主要关心女权运动，而且“hence，by ignoring its feminism，European historians have misunderstood Saint- Simonianism．”。所以作者认为西欧历史学家缺乏对此的关心。

A

文章中的“The new world order mould be ruled together by a male，to represent reflection，and a female，to represent sentiment．”以及“The envisioned result of both currents of thought however, was that women would enter public life in the new age and that sexual equality would reward men as well as women with an improved way of life．”两句说明了作者的结论和观点，也是圣西蒙主义者的观点，就是新世界和新世纪都是男女共同管理的。

A

由“American feminist activists who have been described as“solitary”and“individual theorists”were in reality connected to a movement-utopian socialism — which was already popularizing feminist ideas in Europe...”一句可知，movement- utopian socialism (乌托邦社会主义)有着国际当时最流行的女权思想，因此研究美国妇女运动就必须澄清各种女权思想。

C

这篇文章描述了Stephen Saunders Webb最近的研究结果，并且在文章的第三段摆出了作者的观点。如“…but his view of the crowns use of the military as an instrument of colonial policy is not entirely convincing．”。

C

根据文章第一段中的“Garrison government allowed the colonists a legislative assembly, but real authority, in Webb's vrew，belonged to the colonial governor, who was appointed by the king and supported by the“garrison,”that is，by the local contingent of English troops under the colonial governor's command．”几句话进行判断。

D

文章中 Garrison government allowed the colonists a legislative assembly 的话证明最恰当的选项应该是D

D

根据文章中“Not until the war with Prance in 1597 did William Ⅲ persuade Parliament to create a professional standing army, and Parliament's price for doing so was to keep the army under tight legislative control．”一句话可知英国军队是受议会严格控制的，因此William Ⅲ 要动用军队必须取得议会的同意。

D

根据文章中的“He disposes thusly (albeit unconvincingly ) of both the intolerance faced by Jews before the rise of capitalism and the early twentieth- century discrimination against Oriental people in California，which，inconveniently, was instigated by workers．”一句话可判断作者的观点，作者认为这位社会学家的观点是不能另人信服的。

C

这位社会学家认为种族偏见起源于资本主义制度，由此推断在非资本主义社会中没有种族偏见。

D

文章中间提到中世纪犹太人，作者想表明的是当时人们对犹太人的看法是具有偏见的。
