任務(wù)型閱讀(10’):每空填一詞。
Nowadays people use different ways to communicate with each other. And does one always tell the truth when he or she talks with the other on the phone? Or does one sometimes tell a lie when writing an e-mail or giving an instant message? Recent research has found that communication technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study, made by Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in e-mails. The fact that e-mails are automatically recorded--- and can come back to trouble you---appears to be the key to the finding.
Jeff Hancock made an investigation by asking 30 students to keep a communication diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or e-mail exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 percent of e-mails, 21 percent of instant messages, 27 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls.
His results, to be presented at the conference on human computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists. Some expected e-mailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because the unreal condition makes people uncomfortable, the detachment(非直接接觸) of e-mailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because people are more practiced at that form of communication.
But Hancock says it is also very important and effective whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know that they will be responsible for what they have said in the conversation, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in e-mail than on the phone.
People are also more likely to lie in real time---in an instant message or phone call, say---than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock. He found many lies are sudden or immediate responses to demands that they don’t expect, such as: “Do you like my dress?”
Hancock hopes his research will help business companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for selling their products where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But given his results, work assessment, where honesty is regarded as more important than others, might be best done using e-mails.
Jeff Hancock’s study on lying in different ways of communications
The ___71___ from the statistics of the investigation
Lies become ___72___ when the communicating ways change from ___73___ to instant messages to face-to-face interactions to phone call.
The ___74___ why people lie / don’t lie

The ___77___ that business companies can learn from the study
Using telephones for ___78___ because their employees can stretch the truth.
Using e-mails for work assessment because their employees must tell what they’ve done ___79___.

Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. However, you can receive better grades if you want. Yes, even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:
1.Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.
2.Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
3.Skim before you read. Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions, Skimming helps double your reading speed and improve your comprehension as well.
4.       . Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.
5.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively(過(guò)分地)about a single test.
There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Improving your studying habits will improve your grades.
1.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
If you fail an exam, don’t let it trouble you too much.
2.According to the passage, how can an average student improve his/her grades?(within 10 words)
3.Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with a proper sentence. (within 10 words)
4.Which tip do you think is the most useful? Why? (within 20 words)
5.Translate the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph into Chinese.

第二節(jié): 信息匹配 (共5小題; 每小題2分,滿分10分)
閱讀下面一篇文章,文章后有七個(gè)選項(xiàng),從A、B、C、D、E、F、G的七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出五個(gè)符合每一段文章主旨大意的選項(xiàng)。
To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. (56)__________.
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit motionless before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. (57) _______________.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s.The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand.What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. (58)_________________.
A good teacher works in quite a different way.His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so.The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class.He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. (59)_________________.
I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written. (60)_______________.
A.Characteristics of a good teacher
B.Qualities of a good actor
C.What makes up a good teacher
D.What makes a teacher famous
E.It is not easy for a good teacher to become a good actor.
F.The image(印象)of a good teacher 
G.Duties of a good teacher
