11."A wise old owl sat on an oak.The more he saw,the less he spoke,the more he heard.Why aren't we like that wise old bird?---Edward H.Richards
We all need to learn to listen well.Listening is a learned skill,the same as speaking in public.It just takes much longer to learn!Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day.And I mean active listening,not just listening when it is convenient to us.
Listening shows others that they are important.It's a sign of respect(尊重).If someone listen to you carefully when you are talking,it shows that they are really interested in what you are saying.
How do you practice listening?Here are some basic rules:
Put down whatever is in your hands.Are you in the middle of writing something?Put down the pen and fold you hands.Are you reading something?Close it so that it will be impossible for you to look down and start reading again.Then put it down.
Turn off your computer.The computer will distract you from your job at hand-listening.
Face the person you are speaking with.Facing the person you are speaking with will help you focus completely on listening.It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important.
Mind your body language.Learning into the speaker will show interest.Crossing your arms in front of your chest shows disagreements.Looking around the room shows you have no interest.Tapping your fingers tells the speaker that you are really too busy for him.Looking at that speaker in the eye tells him that he is important.
Lstening completely.Do not start making comments after the first few words.Do not start thingking about your reply in your mind.Pay attention to the speaker.Really listen to what he is telling you.

42.The author repeats Edward's words in the 1st paragraph toB.
A.make readers laugh
B.help show his view
C.make readers relaxed
D.dsiagree with Edward's idea
43.The 3rd paragraph is mainly aboutB.
A.how to listen to people
B.the importance of listening
C.how to show respect for the speaker
D.the method of making people listen to you
44.The underlinded word"distract"in the 6th paragraph means"C".
A.使阻擾
B.使放松
C.使分心
D.使冷靜
45.To practice our listening skill,weC.
A.shouldn't look at the speaker in the eye
B.should cross our arms in front of our chests
C.shouldn't express our own opinions before the speaker finishes
D.should think about how to reply to the speaker when he's speaking.

分析 全文大意:
智慧而古老的貓頭鷹棲息在橡樹上,
它聽得越多 就說得越少,
它說的越少 就聽得越多,
為何我們不能成為這智慧而古老的貓頭鷹呢?-----愛德華 H 理查德
我們都需要學(xué)會聆聽.聽是一種習(xí)得技能,與在公共場合演講是一樣的.它只是需要花更長的時間學(xué).聽也是我們每天應(yīng)該練習(xí)的技能.我的意思是主動聆聽,而不是僅僅無意識的聽.聆聽是向?qū)Ψ奖硎玖怂麄兪侵匾模且环N尊重的象征.如果有人認(rèn)真聽你講話,表明他們的確對你所講的話感興趣.你怎么樣練習(xí)聆聽?有以下幾種基本規(guī)則:放下你手頭任何東西;關(guān)上電腦; 面對你正在談話的人;注意你的體態(tài)語;充分聆聽.

解答 答案:
42.B     推理判斷題     根據(jù)第二段We all need to learn to listen well可知,作者認(rèn)為我們都需要學(xué)會聆聽.由此可推知,作者引用愛德華這首富有哲理的詩來引出自己的觀點,說明聽的重要.故選B
43.B     段落大意題     根據(jù)第三段的前兩句Listening shows others that they are important.It's a sign of respect(尊重).聆聽是向?qū)Ψ奖硎玖怂麄兪侵匾模且环N尊重的象征.可知該段主要講了聆聽的重要性.故選B
44.C      詞義猜測題    根據(jù)第六段第一句Turn off your computer.關(guān)上電腦,可知作者希望大家關(guān)上電腦去專心聆聽,因此這里說的應(yīng)該是電腦會讓人分心,故選C
45.C     細(xì)節(jié)理解題     根據(jù)最后一段Lstening completely.Do not start making comments after the first few words.充分聆聽.不要在聽了幾句話之后,開始評論.可知在別人沒有說完之前,不要作出任何評論,故選C

點評 本文通過一首具有哲理性的英文小詩講了學(xué)會聆聽的重要性以及怎么樣練習(xí)聆聽.一般而言,英語文章的主題通常反映在文章的題目、一段的開頭,也有可能在段中或段末.在進(jìn)行閱讀理解的過程中可采用兩種方法:先通讀全文,再答題;先看文章后的問題,再從文章中找答案.第二種方法對解決事實細(xì)節(jié)題比較有效,考生可帶著問題在文中尋找答案
