Unit 4 Wildlife Protection李仕才一、阅读理解。(2018成都市高中毕业班摸底测试)The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl，yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards.When somebody asks her，“How do you hear？” She responds，“How do you hear？Is it only with your ears？” For Glennie，and for us too，listening is not only hearing，but is understanding.We need to listen to what is said and unsaid，and also how it is said.Its important to hear what people say accurately.As Mark Twain said，“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug(萤火虫)”If you miss something or youre not sure youve heard accurately，ask the speakers.At this point youre not evaluating what they say，but just looking for accuracy and understanding.Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and dont say.Why are they saying this now，instead of sooner or later？Why are they emphasizing these points，instead of something else?Listen to how it is said.People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say.While going through the next points，think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss，and see if any of these signals might come up.First，voices.When others speak，notice changes in their volume，pace，and tone.Second，body language.Notice gestures，eye contact，and facial expressions.Do these sync what they are saying，or do they tell a different story？Third，emotions.What is the persons true feeling？Now you might not know for sure，but be considerate，open to understanding，and ask thoughtful questions.【解题导语】本文讲述了聆听的内涵。我们要听懂说话人想要表达的言外之意，并且要注意说话方式。1Whats the writers purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?ATo give an example of wise words.BTo introduce a worldfamous musician.CTo help explain the meaning of listening.DTo encourage us to fight against disability.C解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For Glennie，and for us too，listening is not only hearing，but is understanding.”可知，对于Glennie和“我们”来说，聆听不仅是用耳朵听而且是理解，这里说明了聆听的内涵。所以选项C正确。2What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?AIt is important to have a good knowledge of English words.BPeople should know words can be used in many different ways.CEnglish is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.DThe slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.D解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Its important to hear what people say accurately.”和“At this point youre not evaluating what they say，but just looking for accuracy and understanding.”可知，准确听懂说话者的意思很重要。因此，选项D “词语的细微差异可能导致误解。”与Mark Twain所说的话意思相吻合。3What does the underlined word “sync” probably mean?AMatch.
