a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it‘s the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark. Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote ―If at first you don‘t succeed, give up‖ or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor. 66. To make your humor work, you should_________. A. take advantage of different kinds of audience B. make fun of the disorganized people C. address different problems to different people D. show sympathy for your listeners 67. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are________. A. impolite to new arrivals B. very conscious of their godlike role C. entitled to no privileges D. very busy even during lunch hours 68. It can be inferred from the text that public services______. A. have benefited many people B. are the focus of public attention C. are an inappropriate subject for humor D. have often been the laughing stock (B) Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage. It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies. We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered. Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviews who wore (展示) their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as a calling (使命), and were proud to be published in the daily press. ?So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism,‘ Newman wrote ―that I am tempted to define‖ journalism ―as a term of contempt (轻蔑) applied by writers who are not read to writers who are‖. Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England‘s foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that hisAutobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists. 9

Is there any chance that Cardus‘s criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly polished Vicwardian (维多利亚和爱德华时代) prose in which he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat. 69. It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that A. arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers. B. English-language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews. C. high-quality newspapers retain a large body of readers. D. young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies. 70.

Which of the following would Shaw and Newman most probably agree on? A. It is writers‘ duty to fulfill journalistic goals. B. It is contemptible for writers to be journalists. C. Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism. D. Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing. 72. What can be learned about Cardus according to the last two paragraphs? A. His music criticism may not appeal to readers today. B. His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute. C. His style caters largely to modern specialists. D. His writings fail to follow the amateur tradition. (C) The most prevalent use of intelligence test scores is to predict degree of academic success. Such scores are used in some communities as bases for admitting able children to schools at ages younger than normal, and they are very generally used to determine admissions to schools beyond public secondary school. Another use common in elementary schools involves comparing such scores with performances in various subjects to identify children who are working below capacity. The greatest problem in using intelligence tests for the purpose of prediction is that no dependable criterion (标准) of their accuracy exists. The ideal criteria would be objective and reliable achievement tests following instruction in each subject, but there are few such tests, especially at the college level. Studies have shown that correlations (相关度) between intelligence tests and achievement tests in various subjects through secondary school range roughly from 0.5 to 0.8. Such correlations are fairly high, but they do not suggest anywhere near complete agreement. At the college level there are two major tests used as criteria of admission. By far the more important is the College Entrance Examination, constructed by the Educational Testing Service authorized by the College Entrance Examination Board. These tests are returned to the Educational Testing Service for scoring, and the results are then made available to the various colleges authorized by the students to receive them. The second test of this type is the American College Test, which operates in essentially the same fashion. Both tests constitute measures of certain skills, abilities, and knowledge that have been found to 10

be related to success in college. Their correlations with academic success are limited for three outstanding reasons. First, measures of achievement in college are themselves perhaps no more reliable than those in elementary and secondary schools. Second, intellectual factors do not alone determine academic success, especially at the college level. Many students drop out of schools because they are inadequately motivated or because they dislike the instructional program. Third, correlations are lowered because the use of such tests for denying admission to some students means that the range of scores for those admitted is restricted, and such restrictions tend to reduce correlation. 73. The intelligence scores can be used in the following way EXCEPT ______. A. telling in advance the degree of academic success B. admitting intelligent children to school at the age younger than ordinary C. finding out children working below capacity in primary schools D. selecting pupils by public secondary schools 74. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. The standards for the evaluation of college students‘ academic achievements need to be improved. B. The correlations between intelligence and achievement tests in middle schools are not as high as predicted. C. Intelligence test scores can help predict accurately the degree of students‘ academic success. D. The high correlations can prove that the results of academic tests exactly agree with intelligence test scores. 75. What can we learn about the two major tests for college admission? A. The papers of the College Entrance Examination are set by the College Entrance Examination Board. B. The American College Test is of the same importance as the College Entrance Examination. C. The results of the two examinations will be sent to colleges with the students‘ permission. D. The College Entrance Examination is as fashionable as the American College Test. 76. Which of the following does not account for the reduction of the correlation between the two admission tests and the academic success in college? A. Measures of students‘ achievements in college B. Students‘ motivations for and interest in their study C. Some students‘ being refused the admission to the college D. The popular use of the intelligence test 66-68 CBD 69-72 BADA 73-76 DACD 六选四 Behance, the New York City-based startup that developed a new platform for creative people and teams to share their work, has been acquired by Adobe.
