In order tocommunicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbolsthat mean the same to the sender and the receiver. The means of communication are toonumerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with themeans of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses.Sight, hearing, and touching seem to play the most important roles. Smell and taste play verylimited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems ofsings and symbols. Examples of visual communication are gesture and imitation. Although bothfrequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used bydeaf, and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke,flags, or flashing light. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as byhandshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of hand-stroking has enabledblind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applaudingin a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. Themost fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language. Themeans of communication mentioned so far have two features in common: they last only a shorttime, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all arerestricted in time and space.19Applauding is specifically mentioned as an example of ______.A.communication by soundB.gesture and imitationC.communication by sending a messageD.communication between the listener and speaker 20Reception of communication______ .A.is more important than sending messagesB.depends on two personsC.involves use of the sensesD.play only limited roles21Persons who cannot see, hear, or speak are able to communicate through ______.A.gesturingB.handshakingC.smellingD.hand-stroking22The author specifically mentions that speech is______A.often used when other means are impossibleB.necessary for normal communicationC.the only highly developed system of communicationD.the most developed form of communication based on hearing23According to the passage, means of communication _________A.can develop quickly if there is enough time and spaceB.all have the same featuresC.have some limitations even if they are fully developedD.depend on the persons involved答案:27.[主观题]Directions: In this section, you are asked to write a composition with the title “TheBiggest Dream of My Life.” You should write at least 120 words and cover the followingpoints. 1.

Theoutcome affected some of the world's biggest and busiest cities, including New York, Detroit,Cleveland and Toronto, leaving up to 60m people without electricity, equivalent to the entirepopulation of France or Britain. So severe was the disruption (破坏) in New York State that itsgovernor, George Pataki, declared a state of emergency. Confused workers spilled on to thestreets, while thousands more were trapped for hours in lifts and hot, crowded subway trains.Lots of stranded ( 进 退 两 难 的 ) people ended up spending Thursday night on New York'sstreets. Thieves in Brooklyn in New York, and in Canada's capital, Ottawa, took advantage ofthe absence of streetlights and burglar alarms, and went on a looting spree ( 疯 狂 抢 掠 ).Officials were taken aback by the speed at which the chaos unfolded. President George Bushdescribed the incident as a "massive national problem" and promised a full investigation intowhat caused it. That is still a matter of some debate. At first, naturally, there were fears ofterrorist involvement, but this was quickly ruled out. However, officials were left arguing about what had actually happened. The office of Canada's prime minister, Jean Chretien, said that asevere accident at a nuclear-power plant in Pennsylvania may have been the cause. Earlier,American and Canadian officials had said a fire or perhaps lightning had hit a power plant nearNiagara Falls in New York State.1The word "outage" in Paragraph 1 can be best replaced by____.A.power shortcutB.disruptionC.massive national problemD.power failure2Several cities were affected by the massive power failure on August 14th except____.A.OttawaB.ClevelandC.ChicagoD.Brooklyn3Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?____A.Many streetlights and burglar alarms were stolen during the blackout.B.Some terrorists were involved in the incident.C.President George Bush demanded a full investigation into the disruption in New York.D.Officials were not sure what had caused the power failure.4It can be inferred from the passage that____.A.France has a population of about 60 million.B.Only some large cities were affected by the power failure.C.Canada's prime minister knew what had caused the power failure.D.Water was spilt onto the streets by confused workers.5The power failure on August 14th brought about big chaos except that____.

It is necessary to give you a bloodtransfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care mustbe taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, thetransfusion could kill you. There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. A simple testcan indicate a person's blood type, which, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully.Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. Ocan give to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal donor. For the oppositereason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient. However, because so many reactionscan occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (liquid) until their6The word "hence" in line 10 means _________A.alwaysB.oftenC.thereforeD.seldom7A good title for this passage is ________.A.Getting Blood and PlasmaB.Special Blood TypesC.Human Blood TypesD.The Blood Bank of a Hospital 8In a blood transfusion, it is easiest to find the acceptable type of blood for a person with theblood type of ________A.AB.BC.ABD.O9The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allow time ______.A.to test the reactions to the transfusionB.for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient's bloodC.for the blood to be delivered from the blood bankD.to select a new type of blood for the patient10Most Europeans have blood type _________A.AB.BC.OD.A or O答案:CCABCDABC24.[阅读理解]To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must beable to hold the attention and interest of your students; you must be a clear speaker, with agood, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under you control; and you must be able to act whatyou are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will seethat he does not move motionless before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; hewalks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face toexpress his feeling.

Any mistake made in theprinting of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postagestamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value. The mistake wasmade more than a hundred years ago in the British colony Mauritius , a small island in theIndian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer – Mauritius was tobecome the fourth country in the world to issue stamps. Before the order was filled anddelivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius ’ Government House, and stamps were needed tosend out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. Heaccidentally marked the words " Post Office" instead of " Post Paid" on the several hundredstamps that he printed. Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left—fourteen One-Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two-Penny Blues. Because of the Two-PennyBlue's rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $ 16800 for it.
