If you intend using humor in your talk to makepeople smile, you must know
how to identify sharedexperiences and problems. Your humor must berelevant to
the audience and should help to showthem that you are one of them or that youunderstand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whomyou are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you areaddressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.
Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses' convention, of a story which
works well becausethe audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shownaround by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, thenew arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of theline, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. "Who is that?" the new arrival askedSt. Peter. "Oh, that's God," came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."
If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know theexperiences and problems which are common to all of you and it'll
be appropriate for you tomake a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman's notorious bad taste inties. With other audiences you mustn't
attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent anoutsider making disparaging remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on saferground if you
stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.
If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed andunforced manner. Often it's the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowlyand remember that a raised eyebrow or
an unbelieving look may help to show that you aremaking a light-hearted remark.
Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote "If atfirst you don't succeed, give up" or a play on words or on a situation.
Search for exaggerationand understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you canturn about and inject with humor.
41. To make your humor work, you should ________.
[A] take advantage of different kinds of audience
[B] make fun of the disorganized people
[C] address different problems to different people
[D] show sympathy for your listeners
42. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ________.
[A] impolite to new arrivals
[B] very conscious of their godlike role
[C] entitled to some privileges
[D] very busy even during lunch hours
43. It can be inferred from the text that public services ________. [A] have benefited many people [B] are the focus of public attention
[C] are an inappropriate subject for humor
[D] have often been the laughing stock
44. To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered ________.
[A] in well-worded language
[B] as awkwardly as possible
[C] in exaggerated statements
[D] as casually as possible
45. The best title for the text may be ________.
[A] Use Humor Effectively [B] Various Kinds of Humor
[C] Add Humor to Speech
[D] Different Humor Strategies

Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty.
That compulsion has resulted in robotics — the science of conferring various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close.
As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robo-drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy — far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.
But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to

Unit 9（2002） Part 4 重点词汇：
suicide（v.n.自杀）即sui+cide，sui词根=self，cide词根“切”=cut，于是“拿刀切自己”→自杀。Every suicide is a solution to a problem.每件自杀都是对一个问题的解决。suicide — the only perfect crime that remains unpunished 自杀——唯一不受惩罚的完美罪行。那么严重。与
70年代相比，现在多数国家的原油价格占汽油价格的份额要小很多。在欧洲，税金在汽油
零售价的比例高达4/5，因此，即使原油价格发生很大的波动，汽油价格所受的影响也不会
像过去那么显著。 发达国家对石油的依赖性也不如从前，因此对油价的波动也就不会那么敏感。能源储备、
燃料替代以及能源密集型重工业的重要性的降低，都减少了石油消耗量。软件、咨询及移动
通讯消耗的石油，比钢铁、汽车行业少得多。发达国家国民生产总值中每一个美元所消耗的
石油量比1973年少了近一半。国际经合组织在最近一期的《经济展望》中估计，如果油价
持续一年维持在22美元左右，与1998年的13美元一桶相比，这也只会使发达国家的石油进口在支出上增加GDP的0.25％～0.5％。这还不到1974年或1980年收入减少部分的1/4。
另一方面，进口石油的新兴国家由于转向了重工业，消耗能量更大，因此可能会受到石油危
机的强烈影响。
另外一个不应因油价上升而失眠的原因是，与20世纪70年代不同，这次油价上升不是
发生在普遍的物价暴涨及全球需求过旺背景之下。世界上很多地区才刚刚走出经济衰落。《经济学家》的商品价格指数与一年前相比总的来说也没有什么变化。1973年的商品价格跃升

II.考研英语二阅读 text3 精翻
段落 1：讲述全球化和国际化对英语教学的影响
随着全球化和国际化的不断发展，英语已经成为了一种必不可少的工具。在全球范围内，英语作为交流和学习的语言变得越来越重要。因此，英语教学也必须适应这种变化，从以语言知识为主的教学转向以语言技能为主的教学。 段落 2：讨论英语作为国际语言的重要性
英语作为国际语言，不仅在全球范围内使用广泛，而且在国际交流、商务和科研等领域具有重要作用。因此，学习英语不仅是一种个人需求，也是一种国家战略。很多国家已经开始将英语教育作为基础教育的重要组成部分，以提高国民的英语素质和国际竞争力。
段落 3：分析英语在全球范围内的使用情况
据统计，目前全球有超过 15 亿人使用英语，而且这个数字还在不断增长。英语已经成为了一种世界性的语言，不仅在欧洲和北美地区使用广泛，而且在亚洲、非洲和南美洲等地也逐渐普及。这种全球范围内的使用情况使得英语成为了国际交流和合作的必要工具。
段落 4：提出如何提高英语教学质量和学习效果的建议
为了提高英语教学质量和学习效果，我们需要采取一系列措施。首先，英语教学应该注重培养学生的语言技能，而不是仅仅关注语言知识的传授。其次，英语教学应该与现实生活紧密结合，通过实践和应用来提高学生的英语水平。最后，英语教学应该充分利用现代科技手段，如网络和多媒体等，以提高教学效率和效果。

Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of
crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up
scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979 - 1980, when they also almost tripled. Both
previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom
and doom this time?
The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the
same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.
Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries

人们曾对20世纪电视的发展和15、16世纪印刷术的传播进行过比较。然而,在这两个时段
之间发生了很多事情。正如前面所讲的,直到19世纪,报纸才继宣传册和书之后,与期刊一起,
成为电子时代到来前主要的传播手段。正是在这段时间,通信革命也加快了步伐,从铁路运输开
始,发展到电报、电话、飞机和电影,直到20世纪的汽车和飞机。并不是每一个人都能正确地看
待(通信革命的发展)这一进程,而做到这一点是非常重要的。
然而,人们普遍认为20世纪初期计算机的出现,及随后60年代集成电路的发明,极大地改
变了这一进程,尽管它对媒体的影响并没有立即见效。随着时间的推移,计算机变得越来越小,
功能却更加强大。而且随着显示效果越来越清晰及存储量越来越大,电脑已不只是团体机构的
用具,也成了个人的用具,像人一样,电脑也按“代”来划分,而且代与代之间的间隔越来越小。
正是在计算机时代,“信息社会”这个词语开始被广泛地用于描述我们生活的环境。通信革
命改变了我们的工作和休闲方式,同时也改变了我们对时间和空间的思考和感知方式。
但对这一革命在经济、政治、社会和文化上的影响,人们还有争议。人们把它带来的益处和
产生的弊端进行了权衡,但很难得出一个概括性的结论。

Title: The Evolution of Communication
The advent of communication has undergone significant evolution
throughout history. From primitive means of conveying messages
to advanced technologies, communication has become an integral
part of human existence. In this text, we will explore the different
stages of this evolution.
The first stage of communication involved simple forms of
expression, such as gestures and facial expressions. This mode of
communication allowed humans to convey basic emotions and
intentions. Over time, humans developed spoken language,
enabling them to express more complex thoughts and ideas. This
marked a significant leap forward for communication.
The invention of writing systems further revolutionized
communication. The ability to record information in a permanent
