Keep in mind the following qualities of a good voice:Speak in a voice neither too loud nor too soft. Speak louder when giving important information.Speak slowly enou
14、gh so that the listener has a chance to understand your messages without your having to repeat it. Keep in mind that as you speak the other person may be taking notes.Pronunciation is the correct way to say a word. To avoid mispronouncing (读错音) words, you may wish to check the pronunciation of unfam
15、iliar words in the dictionary before you use them.People with an accent unlike yours may not understand your pronunciation of some words.

19、ex communicative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important. An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to r
20、eceive the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation, he will fail to get the message.The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listeners familiarity with the theme (主题) of the message. It also depends on the listeners knowledg
21、e of the speaker as well as the situation.Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information. Therefore, pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension. Befor
22、e actual listening, we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic, discuss it with others, and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures, we are more likely to become effective listeners.Of course,
23、readiness beforehand is not at all enough. Active thinking must take place all the way through. In fact, we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.36 The passage is most possible taken from_.（A）a novel（B） a textbook（C） a news report（D）a fashion magazine37 What is the first paragraph mainly

27、t the completion (完成，结束) of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment(保证) which can also impact negatively on one s career and family time.Of the many approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommoda
28、ting is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals which are so necessary in todays world. The time required to study may be set aside at the students convenience wi
29、th due regard to all life s other requirements. Additionally, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial (辅导的) assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, facsimile(传真) machine, t
30、eleconferencing and over the Internet.Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool with every subject. Another characteristic of a good distance learning program is the equivalence of the distance learning course with the same subject materials as t
31、hose students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma (取得的文凭) or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. The individuality of the professor-student relationship is another characteristic. In the final analysis, a good distance lear
32、ning program has a place not only for the individual student but also the corporation (公司) or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Sponsoring (赞助) distance learning programs for
33、 their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional growth through education.41 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of part time education?（A）It requires some break in ones career

38、Good impression on the employer.（D）Higher salary.45 The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, th
39、e opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious comm
40、itment (宗教信仰) , self-improvement.Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure,
41、 excitement.Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have c
42、hildren never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time; now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our
43、 happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.46 According to the author
44、, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because_.（A）he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities（B） he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single（C） he finds more fun in dating than in marriage（D）he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement47 Raising chi
45、ldren, in the authors opinion, is_.（A）a moral duty（B） a thankless job（C） a rewarding task（D）a source of inevitable pain48 From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from(由造成）_.（A）hatred（B） misunderstanding（C） prejudice（D）ignorance49 To understand what true happiness is one must_.（A）
46、have as much fun as possible during ones lifetime（B） make every effort to liberate oneself from pain（C） put up with pain under all circumstances（D）be able to distinguish happiness from fun50 What is the author trying to tell us?（A）Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.（B） One must know how to
47、attain happiness.（C） It is important to make commitments.（D）It is pain that leads to happiness.二、Cloze50 While I was waiting to enter a university, I saw in a newspaper a teacher job【C1 】_ at a school about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something【C2】_ , I
48、applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no【C3】_of teaching my chances of getting the job were slight.【C4 】_, three days later, a letter arrived, calling me to Croydon for a【C5】_with the headmaster. It proved to be a【C6】_journey a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride a
