广东省广州市2017年高考一模英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节,满分30分）第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A.B.C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.AInside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren't getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It's time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!Welcome to the Rain Room·The Rain Room features falling water. Please be aware you may get slightly wet. However, visitors wearing raincoats will be turned away.·This exhibit features advanced technology. To ensure its effectiveness, please avoid wearing dark or reflective clothing.·Visitors are welcome to take photographs of the exhibit.·Children must be accompanied by an adult.·For the convenience of all guests, visits are limited to 10minutes.21．What's the purpose of the text? _____A．To attract visitors to a new art exhibit.B．To explain how an exhibit has been created.C．To describe the technology used in the exhibit.D．To promote the artists taking part in an exhibit.22．What's the function of the exhibit's tracking system? _____A．To keep visitors from getting wet.B．To protect the exhibit from water damage.C．To time how long visitors are in the room.D．To count the number of visitors in the room.23．What must you do when visiting the Rain Room? _____A．Wear a raincoat.B．Wear dark clothing.C．Leave your camera outside.D．Pass through within 10minutes.BDujiangyan is the oldest man﹣made water system in the world, and a wonder m the development of Chinese science. Built over 2, 200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50cities m the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region's governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives. £1Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24．What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph? _____A．Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B．Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C．Watering farmland and improving water quality.D．Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25．What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding? _____A．Heavy rains.B．Melting snow.C．Low river banks.D．Steep mountains.26．How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Y ulei? _____A．By using gunpowder.B．By flooding the rocks with water.C．By applying a heating and cooling technique.D．By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.27．Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today? _____A．It preserves much of the natural river life.B．It took very little time to complete the project.C．The building techniques used were very modem.D．It has raised the living standards of the local people.CBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place﹣based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what's taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT（麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we aren't spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30billion USD．Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100million dollars.Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28．What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning? _____A．It will concentrate on physics lectures.B．It will completely replace real universities.C．It will help to make universities more successful.D．It will play an increasingly important role in education.29．What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean? _____A．Creative.B．Enthusiastic.C．Well-behaved.D．Experienced.30．According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning? _____A．The lack of lectures available online.B．The high cost of access to the websites.C．The low standard of educational websites.D．The competition with online computer games.31．Why does the author mention Hollywood? _____A．To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B．To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C．To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D．To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speaker's way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you're more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker's way of connecting with an audience's emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying” believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32．Why does the author say persuasion is an art? _____A．They both entertain the audience.B．They both require great skill to achieve.C．They both demand full attention from the audience.D．They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33．How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience? _____A．By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B．By telling the audience about her personal preference.C．By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D．By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic.34．What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion? _____A．Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B．Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C．Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D．Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35．An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _____.A．ethos.B．pathos.C．logos.D．a combination of all three.第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

This was the best time of day to drive, when the roads were wide open and empty. He felt sure he was going to make it to Los Angeles before midnight.

If you have then you’re not alone. When and where dogs first began living side-side with humans are questions that have stirred hot debate among scientists. There are a few hard facts that all agree on. These include that dogs were once wolves and they were the first animal to be domesticated(驯养) by humans. They came into lives some 15000 years ago, before the dawn of agriculture.Beyond that, there is little agreement. The earliest bones found that are unquestionable dogs and not wolves date from 14,000 years ago. However, 30,000-year-old skulls have been discovered in France and Belgium that are not pure wolf and some scientists think could be dogs.With such puzzling evidence, many scientists are now turning to DNA to find out when and where dogs were first domesticated. In one research project, tens of thousands of blood samples have been taken from street dogs around the world. The plan is to compare them with those ofwolves. It’s even possible to analyse DNA from ancient bones. Tiny pieces of the 30,000-year-old skulls mentioned earlier are currently being studied, and another DNA study has already shown that ancient dogs preserved in the Alaskan ice-fields evolved from Asian wolves, not American ones.Indeed, the ancient DNA may turn out to be more informative than the DNA of living dogs. Because dogs have accompanied humans around the world for thousands of years, their current distribution may tell us very little of their origins. This is why different groups of scientists believe that dogs variously originated in eastern Asia, Mongolia, Siberia, Europe or Africa.But why were the animals domesticated in the first place? The most recent theory is that dogs domesticated themselves, initially living in and around our ancient villages to eat any food thrown out. Today, this is a way of life still shared by three -quarters of a billion unowned dogs worldwide.28.Which is the only statement generally agreed on by scientists studying dogs?A.They originally were used as farm animalB.They evolved from wolves found in EuropeC.They helped the development of agricultureD.They were the first animal to be kept as pets29.Why does the writer first mention the 30,000-year-old animals skulls?A.To show that dogs were much larger in the pastB.To prove that dogs developed from Asian wolvesC.To suggest that dogs may have evolved much earlierD.To argue that dogs were first kept in France and Belgium30.How did scientists determine the origins of the ancient dogs found in Alaska?A.By examine the animals’ DNAB.By analyzing the age of their bonesC.By studying the shape of their skullsD.By comparing them with modern dogs31.Why did dogs start living with humans?A.Because they were attracted by foodB.Because they were trapped by humansC.Because they couldn’t survive in the wildD.Because they were trained to protect villagesDMany people believe that the only way to make our communities safer is to build more prisons.B ut there’s a way better protect cities and towns by doing just the opposite.In many countries throughout the world, prison populations have risen dramatically over the past decade. One of the main reasons for this is the large number of repeat offenders; that is people who break the law again once freed from jail. Statistics show that about one in four prisoners freed every year return to jail within three years.This is partly because ex-prisoners face huge difficulty finding employment. More than a third of them cannot find any job at all. Data show that having a job greatly reduces the chances that a person will commit a crime again or commit one in the first place. Released prisoners who do manage to find steady employment are 50 percent less likely to return to prison. Rather than harming a community, having a job helps ex-prisoners to change their ways and make a positive and productive contribution to their communities.What’s more, helping these men and women find jobs would also save taxpayers a lot ofmoney. Few prisoners would save governments millions or possibly even billions of dollars annually: the costs of building and operating jails.There are many things that the government can do to help ex-prisoners find work. More job training programs should be introduced to provide prisoners with work skills before they are freed. Companies and factories should also be given tax benefits if they employ ex-prisoners. Such programs have been shown to work in several countries.Such policies of course assu re that freed criminals actually want to work. But shouldn’t they be given the chance? Our goal, after all, shouldn’t be to incarcerate as many prisoners as possible, but to build a society that doesn’t need to put such a large percentage of its population in jail. We should take a step in that direction and help prisoners find self-respect and purpose through work.32.What percentage of freed prisoners returns to prison within three years?A. 65%B. 50%C. 33%D. 25%33.Which of the following best describes the content of the fifth paragraph?A.FactsB. ArgumentsC. RecommendationsD. Requirements34.What does the underlined word “incarcerate” in the last paragraph?A.set freeB. lock upC. employD. separate35.Which of the following would be author agree with?A.Tougher punishment will reduce crimeMost prisoners do not deserve to be in prisonA.Economic conditions are a major cause of crimeB.Prison populations are likely to increase in the future第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）The Rio GrandeAlthough not the longest in America, the Rio Grande is one of the most important.

AInside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is movin g on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!Welcome to the Rain Room•The Rain Room features falling water.

Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities m the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region^ governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discoveredthat the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives. ￡1 Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24. What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraphA. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B. Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25. What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers floodingA. Heavy rains.B. Melting snow.C. Low river banks.D. Steep mountains.26. How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount YuleiA. By using gunpowder.B. By flooding the rocks with water.C. By applying a heating and cooling technique.D. By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.27. Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists todayA. It preserves much of the natural river life.B. It took very little time to complete the project.C. The building techniques used were very modem.D. It has raised the living standards of the local people.CBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what’s taking us so longAs early as 1997, MIT (麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we aren’t spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it.But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28. What has Bill Gates forecast about online learningA. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.29. What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean.A. Creative.B. Enthusiastic.C. Well-behaved.D. Experienced.30. According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learningA. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.31. Why does the author mention HollywoodA. To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C. To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in thefield. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an a udienc e’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32. Why does the author say persuasion is an artA. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33. How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audienceA. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic. .34. What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasionA. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35. An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _________.A. ethosB. pathosC. logosD. a combination of all three第二节（共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities m the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region^ governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives. £1 Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystemsand fish populations to exist in harmony.24. What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?A. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B. Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25. What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding?A. Heavy rains.B. Melting snow.C. Low river banks.D. Steep mountains.26. How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Yulei?A. By using gunpowder.B. By flooding the rocks with water.C. By applying a heating and cooling technique.D. By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.27. Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today?A. It preserves much of the natural river life.B. It took very little time to complete the project.C. The building tech niques used were very modem.D. It has raised the living standards of the local people.CBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what’s taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT (麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we aren’t spending more to develop better online educationplatforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences t hat engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28. What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.29. What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?.A. Creative.B. Enthusiastic.C. Well-behaved.D. Experienced.30. According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?A. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.31. Why does the author mention Hollywood?A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C. To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more likel y to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32. Why does the author say persuasion is an art?A. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33. How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic. .34. What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35. An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _________.A. ethosB. pathosC. logosD. a combination of all three第二节（共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
