Some sort of propaganda(宣传) influenced you to make that decision. That thing has a name and it's called persuasion, a process which aims to change one's attitude,behavior, beliefs, intention and principles. Persuasion is a very powerful weapon that can be used wisely in all types of businesses, presentations and public speeches. So it's essential to master the art of persuasion.There are many benefits of mastering the art of persuasion. Firstly, it can help you convince and motivate people of your class. By mastering the art of persuasion, you can change a person's perception(观念) and attitudes towards something. We often convince our parents to spend some money and buy us cars, gadgets, cinema tickets and fancy clothes. You steer(驾驭) all these actions by using effectively the art of persuasion. Most of us don't even realize that our lives are getting influenced by persuasion.Secondly, it can help you succeed in a job interview. When you apply for a job, you know there are thousands of applicants for the same job you're eager to get. The only way to come out on top and stand out from thousands of interviewees for that particular job is by applying persuasion to nail that job. You sell yourself to him, convince your interviewer that he won't find somebody like you elsewhere and he'll look to you in a brighter way than the others.Thirdly, it can help you succeed in your business. The business world today is getting larger and more competitive and it doesn't fit everyone. Only the ones who can master the art of persuasion are able to succeed. Persuasion in business can be applied through several ways, such as propaganda, advertising, and brainwashing. Therefore, you should realize that persuasion is quite helpful in selling more products or services and can help you succeed in all types of businesses.Lastly, it can help you avoid being persuaded by other people. Can you recall the product that you bought in a shop that seemed to be very useful and cost-effective at first glance and made you change your view upon it, but after a while you realized that you wasted your money for something worthless? I know you remember it. And that was a successful attempt of persuasion. You could have prevented that purchase if you mastered the art of persuasion by unmasking(揭露) the truth and making the right decision with a reasonable response.16.What is the passage mainly about?A.The art of persuasion.B.The importance of persuasive skills.C.The definition of persuasion.D.The application of persuasive skills.17.According to the second paragraph, the art of persuasion can ________.A.make you able to change others' livesB.make you keep motivatedC.make you seem more trustableD.prevent your life being influenced18.It is inferred from the passage that ________.A.a successful businessman must be good at persuading peopleB.a person being bad at persuading people can't find a good jobC.one can't succeed without mastering the art of persuasionD.somebody loses much money due to lack of persuasive skills19.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?BMy dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us…He just had his own way of showing it.When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived.Each family had their own campsite with water and electric,and you basically parked your camper there from May through October. Most “seasonals” visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional week-long stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends,and we'd hold hands as we walked around the campground. We'd play ping-pong, have some snacks, and sing songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You'd see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you're a teen—a three-week relationship is a really long time.So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common…They'd all received the Evil Eye.The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess_with me.It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光) beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys' brains.“You will not put your hands on my daughter…You will not kiss my daughter…You will not even whisper sweet things into my daughter's ear.”I remember one night in particular walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick “See you later.”Yes, that's the Evil Eye: best way ever to keep wandering teen boys' hands away from your daughter.20.The Evil Eye in the passage implies that ________.A.Dad gets angry easilyB.Dad's eyes are evilC.Dad's eyes are uglylookingD.Dad's eyes are protective to his daughter21.The underlined words “mess with”in Paragraph 5 most probably mean “________”.A.cause trouble for B.make untidyC.get married to D.talk to22.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.As teenagers, we went camping every weekend.B.We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping.C.We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves.D.The boy dropped my hand and turned away because he loved the Evil Eye.23.It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.A.is a teenage girl who loves her fatherB.is a teenage boy who hates his fatherC.is now an adult who has come to understand her father's loveD.used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then课时作业(六)Ⅰ.1.A be known to sb. 为某人所知;be known for 因为……出名;be known as 以……身份出名。

I thought. I had changed one long sentence, and corrected grammar—something I thought I was paid to do.It's not that I hadn't been warned. The other women, who had served in my place before me, called him names I couldn't repeat. One co-worker took me aside the first day. “He's personally responsible for two different secretaries leaving the company,” she whispered.As the weeks went by, I grew to despise Jack. One day, another thing left me in tears so I stormed into his office angrily.“What?” he asked.Suddenly I knew what I must do. After all, he deserved it.I sat across from him. “Jack, the way you've been treating me is wrong. I've never had anyone speak to me that way.” I said. Jack seemed nervous and leaned back in his chair.“I want to make you a promise. I'll be a friend. I'll treat you as you deserve to be treated, with respect and kind ness.” With the words, I left.Jack avoided me the rest of the week. Proposals and letters appeared on my desk while I was at lunch; the corrected versions weren't seen again. Another day I left a note on his desk, reading “Hope your day is going great.” Over the next few weeks, Jack reappeared, but nothing unhappy happened again.One year later, I had breast cancer and I would die soon. The last day of my hospital stay, Jack came. He placed a bundle beside me, saying, “Tulips(郁金香).”I smiled, not understanding. He cleared his throat. “If you plant them when you get home, they'll come up next spring.” Tears clouded my eyes and I whispered, “Thank you.”Jack grasped my hand, saying, “You're welcome. You can't see it now, but next spring you'll see the color s I picked out for you.”I've seen those beautiful tulips push through the soil every spring for ten years now. I'll never forget Jack. After all, that's what friends do.36.What did the author do to make Jack angry?A.She read the papers without telling him.B.She changed the contents of the papers.C.She embarrassed him by pointing out his mistakes.D.She corrected the papers without his permission.37.It can be inferred from the passage that Jack ________.A.was good at making friends with othersB.got along well with his colleaguesC.wasn't popular with his colleaguesD.always respected his coworkers38.One day the author went to Jack's office with the intended purpose of ________.A.saying sorry to Jack for her misunderstandingB.scolding Jack for what he had done to herC.making up with him by forgiving himD.making him a promise to be a friend for ever39.On the last day of her hospital stay, the author cried because she ________.A.was moved by Jack's flowers and wordsB.was happy that Jack became a good manC.was scared that she would die soonD.was angry with Jack for what he did to her课时作业(二十四)Ⅰ.1.C考查固定搭配。

He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in Shakespeare's play The Comedy of Errors Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus. For his play Macbeth, Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the intensity(强度)of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language of the city's tradesmen. Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear. His works include descriptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language. During his time, the English language waschanging. Many new words from other languages were being added. Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of“critic”,“mountaineer”and“eyeball”. Many common expressions in English come from his plays, including“pomp and circumstance(装腔作势)”from Othello,“full circle(绕圈子地)”from King Lear, etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented. Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.Shakespeare became a wellknown writer during a golden age of theater. His years of hard work paid off.11. What can we infer from the passage?A.Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.B.Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.C.The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.D.Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.12. Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman worksin________.A.King LearB.The Comedy of ErrorsC.MacbethD.Othello13. Why could Shakespeare's works survive his time?A.Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.B.Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.C.Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.D.Because his works were rich in imagination and language.14. Shakespeare's greatest influence should be on________.A.the English languageB.paintingsC.televisionD.music and dance15. The passage is mainly about ________.A.an introduction to Shakespeare's life and his worksB.the main features and styles of Shakespeare's playsC.how ancient culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced cultureD.Shakespeare's greatest influence on the world cultureBThe number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their ownlanguages. The purpose for which English is learned and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its presentday importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations.

Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. “Nothing in particular,”she replied. But for long I have been accustomed to such responses, and become convinced that the_seeing_see_little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I—who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry(对称) of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch(银桦树), or the rough bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening nature after her winter's sleep. I feel the delightful, smooth texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable swirl(旋动); and something of the miracleof nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently in a small tree and feel the happiness of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have cool waters of a stream rush through my open fingers. To me a rich carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug(波斯毛毯). To me the circle of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips. At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The whole picture of color and action filling the world is taken for granted. It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light, the gift of sight is used only as mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life.36.What does the author imply by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?A.If one is always using his eyes, he would have poor eyesight.B.The sighted people sometimes fail to discover beautiful things.C.The blind people see no less than the sighted ones.D.When one tries to see, he always sees nothing.37.Which of the following is NOT an example given to show how the nature interests the author?A.The delicate symmetry (对称) of a leaf.B.The delightful, smooth texture of a flower.C.The happiness of a bird in full song.D.The most luxurious Persian rug.38.What does the author think is the reason why sighted people fail to discover the beauty of nature?A.That they long for that which they have not.B.That what they have is usually taken for granted.C.That the gift of sight is a means of adding fullness to life.D.That mere touch is the best way to discover and feel.39.What is the passage mainly about?A.It tries to prove that the seeing see little.B.It describes how wonderful the nature is.C.It tells people to protect their eyesight.D.It expresses some thoughts on feeling beauty and sight.课时作业(一)Ⅰ.1.A of much experience“有很多经验的”,a lot of interesting experiences意为“很多有趣的经历”。

It was far more heartbreaking than I'd expected,one of the most difficult and painful timesin my life. After he passed away I stayed alone in his apartment. There were so many things to deal with. It all seemed endless. I was lonely. I hated the silence of the apartment.But one evening the silence was broken:I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost immediately fell sound asleep.The next morning I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been abandoned by his owner who's moved out. So the little cat was there all alone,just like I was. As I walked back to the apartment, I tried to figure out what to do with him. Having_something_else_to_take_care_of_seemed_like_the_very_last_thing_indeed. But as soon as I opened the apartment door he came running and jumped into my arms. It was clear from that moment that he had no intention of going anywhere. I started calling him Willis,in honor of my father's best friend.From then on,things grew easier. With Willis in my lap time seemed to pass much more quickly. When the time finally came for me to return home I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was absolutely no way I would leave without him.It's now been five years since my father died. Over the years,several people have commented on how nice it was of me to rescue the cat.

UNIT6 THEMEDIAⅠ.阅读理解AThe most popular martial arts today originated in Asia,especially in China.Many martial arts were invented because people needed to defend themselves or protect others.Nowadays,people learn martial arts as a way of keeping fit or as a petitive sport,but they are still very useful for selfdefense.Martial arts are often referred to as either soft or hard.These terms imply a way of dealing with your opponent’s force.Soft martial arts,such as tai chi,teach you to use your opponent’s for ce to defend yourself.Soft styles use flowing movements and timing to avoid their opponent’s attacks.These martial arts are soft for the defender but not for the attacker!On the other hand,hard styles,such as kung fu,teach you to defend yourself using force.Techniques involve blocking,posturing and powerful hitting and kicking.Hard martial arts techniques are more effective if you are more skillful,more powerful and faster than your opponent.Perhaps one of the best known Japanese martial arts today is karate.But did you know that its roots are derived from Fujian Province?In the 4th century,a munity of Chinese migrants from Fujian settled in what was then the kingdom of Okinawa.The Chinese migrants used to gather in a park to enjoy cultural activities—one of which was kung fu.This soon caught the attention of local youths,who started learning kung fu from their Chinese neighbours.In fact,Chinese influence in martial arts was not limited to kung fu.The veryfirst Korean military training guidebook was based on a Chinese version.During the Japanese invasion of Korea in the 16th century,the Korean army needed an effective way to train a large number of troops.They adopted a training methodology from a Chinese military book called JiXiaoXinShu,written by the famous Chinese general,Qi Jiguang.1.Why did people invent martial arts?A.For keeping fit.B.For selfdefence.C.For petition.D.For attacking others.2.Which is the character of soft martial arts?ing violence to attack others.B.Attacking your oppone nt’s weakness.ing smooth action to defend yourself from damage.D.Defending yourself with powerful hitting and kicking.3.Who spread Karate?A.Chinese army.B.Korean military.C.Japanese troops.D.Chinese migrants.4.Why did Korean army adopt a training methodology from JiXiaoXinShu?A.To train soldiers.B.To keep soldiers fit.C.To attend cultural activities.D.To show admiration for Qi Jiguang.BWhen learning a foreign language,most people fall back on traditionalmethods:reading,writing,listening and repeating.But Brian Mathias’ research team found out that if you gesture with your arms while studying,you can remember the vocabulary better,even months later.As Mathias describes,they had 22 Germanspeaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words over four days.While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary,they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word.When the word was repeated,the subjects performed the gesture themselves.Five months later,they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German.Those who performed better on the task showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex—the part of the brain that is responsible for our body movements.The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures.The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures.Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eightyearold children listen to new vocabulary for five days,paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures.After two months,the two methods were still tied.But after six months,the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures,while the children were helped equally by both.But it is not only the motor ponent itself that promotes learning.The meaning conveyed by the gesture also figures in.“I think we underuse gestures in our classrooms,” GoldinMeadow says.“Good teachers and good listeners use it,but not always in a systematic way.Others don’t necessarily bring it into the class—and it could be used more often and more effectively.”5.What is the finding of Brian Mathias’ research?A.Translation helps vocabulary building.B.Motor cortex interprets body language.C.Gestures facilitate vocabulary learning.D.Memory improves with regular practice.6.What does Leipzig’s research tell us about language learning?A.Adults and children are equally efficient learners.B.Pictures have little influence on language learning.C.Pictures are found more helpful than videos for children.D.Benefits of gestures are more evident in adults in the long run.7.What do the underlined words “figures in” in the last paragraph mean?A.Makes a deal.B.Plays a part.C.Takes a chance.D.Gives a warning.8.What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom?A.Make better use of gestures.B.Teach listening in a systematic way.C.Abandon traditional teaching methods.D.Do some academic researches on teaching.Ⅱ.完形填空(2022山东烟台三模)On the weekend,I went to the beach nearby for
