25、 sheet. Passage One Among the many ways in which people communicate through speech, public speaking has probably received more study and attracted more attention than any other. Politicians campaigning for public office, salespeople presenting products, and preachers delivering sermons all depend up
26、on this form of public communication. Even people who do not make speaking a part of their daily work are often asked to make public speeches: students at graduation, for instance, or members of churches, clubs, or other organizations. Nearly everyone speaks in public at some time or other, and thos
27、e who perform the task well often become leaders. There are many reasons for speaking in public. A public speaker may hope to teach an audience第 4 页（共 9 页）about new ideas, for example, or provide information about some topic. Creating a good feeling or entertaining an audience may be another purpose
28、. Public speakers, however, most often seek to persuade an audience to adopt new opinions, to take certain actions, or to see the world in a new way. Public speakers usually know how well in advance when they are scheduled to make an address. Consequently, they are able to prepare their message befo
29、re they deliver it. Sometimes, though, speakers must deliver the message unprepared, or off the cuff, such as when they are asked to offer a toast at a wedding reception or to participate in a televised debate or interview. When they do not have to speak unpreparedly, most speakers writes their own
30、speeches. Politicians and business executives sometimes employ professional writers who prepare their speeches for them. These professional writers may work alone or in small teams. Although the speaker may have some input into the contents of the speech, the writers sometimes have a great influence
31、 over the opinions expressed by their employers. Regardless of how a speech is prepared, the person who delivers it is given credit for its effect upon its hearers. 1. Public speaking is well known to the average people because _. A. most of them have been trained as public speakers B. most of them
32、have been audience of such activities C. most of them have to do it when they study at college D. the passage does not mention the reason 2. Which of the following is rarely the purpose of public speaking? A. To influence peoples ideas and behavior. B. To enjoy the satisfaction from ones own speech.
33、 C. To persuade the audience to accept an idea. D. To promote public interest. 3. In Paragraph 3, the expression “deliver the message off the cuff” means _. A. speak at a large reception B. speak on television C. speak according to the schedule D. speak without preparation 4. The speech prepared by

No matter who writes a speech, the audience _. A. believe it expresses the speakers idea B. know very well whom
35、 the speaker is C. know whose ideas the speech really expresses D. do not believe what the speaker says 第 5 页（共 9 页） Passage Two A prominent group of British university teachers this week called on the funding councils to stop supporting low-quality research and put more money into improving univers
36、ity teaching instead. The National Academic Policy Advisory Group, which includes members from the Royal Society, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Conference of Medical Royal College, insists that all research money should be spent on world-class work. The funding councils Research Assessmen
37、t Exercise (RAE) judges the quality of research carried out in individual university departments, and rates it on a scale of 1 to 5. In the last assessment, in 1992, departments ranked as low as 2 received funding. The group says this should not happen in this years exercise. Funding councils have n
38、ot yet announced how they will distribute money from now on. In a report called Research Capability of the University System launched this week the group claims that funds are needed to pay for the “professional development” of university teachers who are not active in research, to help them keep up
39、 with their subject and improve the courses they teach. It recommends that about 50 millions, including money which is currently used to fund research in departments ranked at level 2, should be used to pay for this. It advises that the money should go only to those departments that are not competin
40、g for research money through the RAE. The group believes that some universities have been expanding their research departments in order to attract research money. Some universities, it claims, are better suited to teaching than research, and should be encouraged to develop their expertise as educato
41、rs. “Theres no use pretending that 104 universities should have the same job in life,” says David Harrison, master of Selwyn College, Cambridge, who chaired the group. “A university could have some departments that are strong on research and others that are known for their top grade teaching,” he sa
42、ys. But some people have some doubts about the groups recommendations. “It seems to be about developing further the distinction between research and non-research universities,” says Paul Cottrell of the Association of University Teachers. “If professional development money is a good idea, then its a
43、 good idea for all university teachers.” 6. The National Academic Policy Advisory Group says that the money should be given to _. A. all the teachers B. the best researchers C. the best teachers D. the needy universities 7. Which of the following assesses the research quality of university departmen
44、ts on the scale of 1 to 5? A. RAE B. The group C. Funding councils D. University teachers第 6 页（共 9 页） 8. Why does the group demand the changes in the distribution of the funds? A. To hold back funds for level 2 departments B. To help the teachers not active in research C. To encourage some teachers to be better educators D. To attract research money 9. W
