to a certain degree, its a matter of logic(逻辑)of being able to spot weaknesses in other peoples arguments and to avoid them in your own. it also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence. in the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinkingthe ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. 71 .the greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. that, too, is critical thinking. 72 . as the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. while this way seem like a purely mechanical(机械的) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. if the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confuse. if, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 73 . what is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 74 as you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 75 as you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations. if you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances. this is one reason public speaking has been regarded as vital part of education since the days ancient greece.a. rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.b. this may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.c. it may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.d. it has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, only reorganized ideas.e. if you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot.f. the skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways.g. as you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well.第四节：阅读理解(2011福建卷)the internet will open up new vistas (前景), create the global village-you can make new friends all around the world. that, at least, is what it promised us. the difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account. the reality is that we cannot keep relationship than a limited number of people. no matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.the problem is twofold（双重的. first, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. that number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest(投入)in them. we invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute whats left among as many others as we can. the problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline until eventually it dies into “someone i once knew”.this is not, of course, to say that the internet doesnt serve a socially valuable function. of course it does. but the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have more to the other side of the world.in one sense, thats a good thing. but it also has a disadvantage. if you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see then, then certainly you arent using your time to make new friends where you now live. and i suspect that probably isnt the best use of your time. meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. the internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it wont stop that happening eventually.1. what is stressed in the first paragraph?a. the present situation of the internet. b. the difficulty in communication on the internet.c. the socially valuable function of the internet.d. the role of the human mind in
