experience第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。awhen employing role-plays, debates, topic discussions, etc., i have noticed that some students are often timid in expressing their viewpoints. this seems due to a number of reasons:students dont have an opinion on the subject.students have an opinion, but are worried about what the other students might say or think.students have an opinion, but dont feel they can say exactly what they mean.students begin giving their opinion, but want to state it in the same eloquent manner that they are capable of in their native language.other more actively participating students, feel confident in their opinions and express them eloquently making the less confident students more timid.in fact, conversation lessons and exercises are intended to improve conversational skills. for this reason, i find it helpful to first focus on building skills by eliminating some of the barriers that might be in the way of production. having been assigned roles, opinions and points of view that they do not necessarily share, students are freed from having to express their own opinions. therefore, they can focus on expressing themselves well in english. in this way, students tend to concentrate more on production skills, and less on factual content. they also are less likely to insist on literal translations from their mother tongue.applying this approach can begin slowly by providing students with short role plays using cue cards. once students become comfortable with target structures and representing differing points of view, classes can move onto more elaborated exercises such as debates and group decision making activities. this approach bears fruit especially when debating opposing points of view. by representing opposing points of view, students imagination are activated by trying to focus on all the various points that an opposing stand on any given issue may take. as students inherently do not agree with the view they represent, they are freed from having to invest emotionally in the statements they make. more importantly, to some extent, students tend to focus more on correct function and structure when they do not become too emotionally involved in what they are saying.of course, this is not to say that students should not express their own opinions. after all, when students go out into the real world they will want to say what they mean. however, taking out the personal investment factor can help students first become more confident in using english. once this confidence is gained, students - especially timid students - will be more self-assured when expressing their own points of view.41. the passage is mainly about how to _ .a. teach students to do role-playsb. have conversation lessons effectively c. teach students to express their own opinionsd. help students discuss in class42. which of the following does not make students shy in expressing their opinion? a. other students are more eloquent. b. they have no their own opinions. c. theyre good at their own mother tongue. d. they lack enough confidence.43. according to the passage, how are conversation skills easier to be build? a. by asking students to tell their own opinions. b. by practicing arranged roles and opinions. c. by keeping speaking in english. d. by having debates at first.44. the underlined word eliminating can be best replaced by _ . a. setting up b. making room for c. struggling for d. getting rid of45. one of the benefits that the students can obtain from the role-play approach is that _ . a. they focus more on the english language itself b. they pay more attention to the factual content c. they show more affection for their mother tongue d. they gain more opportunity to express their own opinionsbyou may be able to deliver killer speeches, wonderful presentations and professions and professional talks on topics of your choice. but can you make small talk? there are times in life when you need to make casual conversation. and in business, the social aspect of a business relationship is often as important as the professional one. here are our top tips for making small talk.listen the number-one rule when making small talk is to listen. make a conscious effort to remember what the other person is saying. then you can use this information to generate more conversation.interest while youre talking to someone, focus exclusively on that person. and use your body language to show that youre interested: face the person, use eye contact and nod your head at appropriate moments. also, use conversational fillers such as “ah ha/ really? /amazing!” to show that youre interested in what theyre sayingeven if you arent.ego checktry to avoid always turning the attention of the conversation back on yourself. for example, if someone mentions that theyve just been to italy, dont respond with, “oh, ive been there. we went there last year.” instead, use this information as an opportunity to ask lots of questions about the other persons trip: where did you go? who did you go with? what was it like? what did you see?watch out!avoid saying anything that could be interpreted as criticism or judgment; and above all, keep away from potentially controversial topics such as religion and politics.write it downwrite down any interesting stories you hear, or details of funny things that have happened to you. later, you can use these anecdotes to brighten up a dull conversation.think “situation”!think carefully about where you are. for example, if youre at a wedding, think of all the relevant things you could ask: how do you know the bride? how long have you been friends with the groom? how did you get there? where are you staying? or, if youre visiting a new company, you could ask the following: whats it like working here? how easy is it to get into the city centre? wheres a good place to get lunch round here? etc.top topicsif youre ever running out of conversation, use one of these fail-safe conversation topics:the news, film, football, sport, music, the weather, fashion, literature, cars hobbies, the weekend, videogames, the theatre, family, local topics（shops, clubs, etc.）, tv, celebrities, entertainment, your home town, food, traditions, customs.small talk can be a lot of fun, but you need to prepare for it and practice. and remember, small talk can lead to big business!46. the passage is mainly about_.a. customs and social mannersb. casual conversation tricksc. communication typesd. business strategies47. when making small talks, youd better avoid _.a. asking some open questionsb. using some body languagesc. talking about something that can arouse conflictd. asking some questions relevant to the situation48.in order to make your small talk go smoothly, you can do the following things except that _.a. you can talk some topics about yourself all the timeb. you can pay attention to what others are saying and listen carefullyc. you can choose a topic that is suitable to everyoned. you can say something funny that you have written down49. when you are attending a party held by your friend, which is the most suitable question to start a conversation with a stranger? a. how often do you get to play?b. how old are you?c. what are you doing this weekend?d. how do you know the host, my friend david?cyour money or your time?a friend once invited me to spend a cold winters day picking up rubbish in a park. it was a community-service event organized by a charitable organization(慈善组织) she was involved with. i immediately told her i was not interested.“it just makes no sense,” i explained. “why would i spend three hours of my time picking up rubbish?” i argued that if the goal was neighborhood beautification, then i would rather donate three-hours worth of my labor income. the organization could then hire several people in need of a job. the rubbish gets picked up, we provide jobs, and i do not have to spend three hours in the cold. “where can i make a donation?” my friend sighed, said something in a low voice about it seeming like a good way to meet men, and then shuffled off to ask someone else.when we feel inspired to do good, many of us choose to give time instead of money. given how precious our time is limited by demands of work, family and friends setting some of it aside to clean parks or deliver meals seems like a valuable donation. but is this the most efficient way to give?the economist in me is inclined to say no. as i explained to my friend, what my time is worth may be far more valuable to most charities than my actual labor. the money could go towards hiring people with limited employment opportunities, or to help cover more pressing needs facing the charity, such as rent or staff salaries. my hours of labor, on the other hand, serve the charity in only one way, and can only be provided by me.volunteer labor becomes more valuable if it involves a special skill. for example, if a talented doctor donates a few hours of his time to a free clinic, this may serve the charity better than a $1,000 donation. unfortunately, i can think of few local charities that would benefit from the unique skills of an economist.i recently explained this to a professional who regularly donates his time to a local soup kitchen. but he argued that “just throwing money at a cause” is potentially irresponsible and enables disengagement. donating time may be a greater personal sacrifice, but it also gives him a stronger connection with the cause. he has created a bond not only with the other volunteers, but also with the people he feeds, and the result is an enriching sense of community. he also believes, as a member of the same minority group of many of the people he serves, that he provides them with a positive role model. he recognizes the value in the social interaction volunteering provides.of course charities benefit from both kinds of donations. they need some people to just hand over cash, but they also develop successfully by being an important part of the community. whether it is better to give money or time depends on your goals as a donor. if the objective is simply to provide food for the hungry or to clean a park, then money is more valuable. however, if you hope to also engage with your community not only with your peers, but also with less fortunate people whom you might not otherwise meet no amount of money can make up for your time spent.50. in the first 3 paragraphs, the author uses the case to .a. describe
