第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）Persuasion 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

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.

1、Why does the author say persuasion is an art？ ______

A．They both entertain the audience.

B．They both require great skills to achieve.

C．They both demand full attention from the audience.

D．They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.

2、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.

3、What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion？ ______
