27、.

28、 and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While its a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing pow

29、er,” he said.Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, director of th

30、e American Council(议会) on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “Were seeing it in all parts of the country.”Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US.

37、egotiations, experienced negotiator (谈判者) stay silent and impassive on purpose because that will make others feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to do anything. Americans especially cant stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might b

38、e at a disadvantage in negotiations.So, whats the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Dont offer a compromise just because they are not speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “Whats your initial reaction to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 secon

39、ds you could say, “Lets come back to that in a minute and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”In presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion (热情). Before starting, look at the audience and be silent for a moment because that says, “Im in control. I know what Im do

40、ing. Im confident.”A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduced with many pauses so that you didnt miss his key points. Because silence makes us nervous, our natural reaction is that wed better pay attention, theres something going on here.Equally,

41、when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If you keep talking youre spoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emotional response and to start thinking consciously and processing.Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activi

42、ty or an outward stillness where you give yourself the time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of silence in Finland and also among the Blackfeet Nation, a North American Indian tribe in northern Montana in the US, we can see benefits far beyond wheeling a

43、nd dealing.Silence can be a very powerful point for understanding ourselves, understanding others, for developing better common understanding and more productive outcomes and that applies to business, politics, education, law, medicine, every area of human life.1、What is most likely to be Americans

44、idea?ASpeaking less gives the upper hand.BThe shorter talking gaps are, the better.CA silent man is the best one to listen to.DSpeak out what you have in your mind.2、What is the purpose of the example of Steve Jobs?ATo show the wisdom of Steve Jobs.BTo explain silence can be more effective.CTo intro

45、duce how to make a presentation.DTo prove silence can ease ones nervousness.3、What is the meaning of the underlined words “spoon feeding” in Paragraph 6?ASupporting some person with any selfless help.BFeeding somebody patiently with a small spoon.CGiving others some new ideas to think over carefully

46、.DUsing a way that discourages independent thought.4、What is the main idea of the passage?ASilence is the best defense.BSilence in negotiations is of great help.CLearning the skills about silence is important.DSilence has different meanings in difficult culture.25（10分）A successful businessman, addre

47、ssing the commercial club of his city, told a story of an orphan (孤儿) named Jim.Jim was 12 years old, who was the laughing stock of the whole town. He never remembered having a kind word spoken to him in his whole life. One day as Jim walked down the street, he saw some flowers slip from a little la

48、dys arms just in front of him.

49、existence. He stood and stared after her until she was out of sight, then he made straight for a stream. He sat down on the bank of the stream and did some thinking. “Thank you, dear; you are a nice little boy,” he thought. Finally the boy pulled from his pockets a piece of broken mirror and looked

50、at himself. He saw nothing but dirt. He went down to the water and washed his face carefully, almost painfully. Then he looked again. He scarcely recognized himself. He stood straight and looked up instead of down for the first time since he could remember.A feeding of self-respect awoke within his

51、being. At that moment the course of his life was changed; a determination to be worthy of the kind words spoken to him by the little lady, and to pass them on, took possession of his soul. After telling this story of Jim, the speaker paused and then he shocked the audience by saying, “Gentlemen, I w

52、as that boy. That gentle woman implanted in my life the first seed of kindness. As a tribute to her memory I have told you this story.”1、What does the author mean by “the laughing stock” in paragraph 2?AJim liked playing jokes on others.BJim was always laughed at by others,CJim was good at making ot

53、hers happy.DJim had interest in telling funny stories.2、Which of the following words can be used to describe the lady?ABrave. BClever.CFriendly.

54、as the first time for Jim to tell his story to others.DJim made a tot of money by telling his stories to others.4、What is the best title for the text?AA Story of Jim BA Good LadyCA Kind Word DA Successful Businessman第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项26（30分）
