Passage 6Coherence　　Coherence determines whether a speech is logical and thus makes sense. The speaker must make (31)______ that his utterances and paragraphs are presented in a logical sequence so that his thoughts and ideas are readily acceptable. A speech may be compared (32)______ a freight train. The locomotive is the thematic statement in a speech that gives the train (speech) its direction. Each car is an utterance in a paragraph or a paragraph in a speech that must follow the (33)______ of the train, for it must go where the locomotive goes. It is couplings that hold the cars together, ensuring that all the cars will arrive at same destination as the locomotive. (34)______ the same way, a speaker must supply the links between the utterances and paragraphs to give his listeners a directional signal to indicate (35)______ is to follow and how it (36)______ to what is preceded.　　Since transmitting ideas orally requires attention to the perceived coherence of speaker’s message, the audience do not have the luxury of going back (37)______ his points as they do in reading an essay; nor do they have punctuations that help them (38)______ one idea from another. Hence, speakers use signposts in the form of carefully worded phrases and sentences to help listeners (39)______ the movement of ideas within a speech and perceive the overall message structure. Summaries are (40)______ signposts in ensuring that listeners are able to see the overall structure: preliminary and final summaries are especially helpful in laying our or pulling together the major divisions of the speech.

1.What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.11.What makes a scientist according to the passage? ________A.The tools he uses.B.The way he uses his tools.C.His ways of learning.D.The various tools he uses.12.The underlined part in the passage shows_______.A.the importance of informationB.the importance of thinkingC.the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD.the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs13.A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.A.works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB.does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC.can be used for many purposesD.leaves no room for improvement14.The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________.A.that measurements are keys to success in scienceB.that accuracy of mathematicsC.that investigations are important in scienceD.that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations15.What is the main idea of the passage? ________A.The theory of relativity.B.Exactness is the core of science.C.Scientists are different from ordinary people.D.Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.

2.Text 2 One meaning of the Greek word “dran” is to accomplish, and in this meaning lies a further key to the structure of drama. A play concerns a human agent attempting to accomplish some purpose. In tragedy his attempt is, in personal terms at least, unsuccessful; in comedy it is successful; in the problem play final accomplishment is often either ambiguous or doubtful.This action, from the beginning to the end of a movement toward a purposed goal, must also have a middle; it must proceed through a number of steps, the succession of incidents which make up the plot. Because the dramatist is concerned with the meaning and logic of events rather than with their casual relationship in time, he will probably select his material and order it on a basis of the operation, in human affairs, of laws of cause and effect. It is in this causal relationship of incidents that the element of conflict, present in virtually all plays, appears.The central figure of the play—the protagonist—encounters difficulties; his purpose or purposes conflict with events or circumstances, with purposes of other characters in the play, or with cross-purposes which exist within his own thoughts and desires. These difficulties threaten the protagonist’s accomplishment; in other words, they present complications, and his success or failure in dealing with these complications determines the outcome. Normally, complications build through the play in order of increasing difficulty; one complication may be added to another, or one may grow out of the solution of a preceding one. At some point in this chain of complication and solution, achieved or attempted, the protagonist performs an act or makes a decision which irrevocably commits him to a further course, points toward certain general consequences. This point is usually called the crisis; the complications and solutions which follow work out the logical steps from crisis to final resolution, or denouement.第26题：According to the first paragraph of the text, a dramatist________.［A］ seldom believes what he writes about［B］ portrays what he experiences in the drama［C］ concerns himself with the results of human effort［D］ tries to convince his audience of what he believes

4.The speaker (made a show of) his profound knowledge of the subject by his excellent speech. 选择能代替括号里的选项A、protestedB、demonstratedC、conductedD、displayed

参考答案和解析
正确答案： 31. sure
该篇文章主要是关于演讲的连贯性,此处指“发言者必须确保其言辞内容和结构符合逻辑……”。make sure为固定搭配,此处指“确保”。
32. to
此处把演讲比喻成一列货运火车。compare A to B有“把A比作B”的意思,因此该处应该填入介词to。
33. rest
上一句提到火车头决定火车行进的方向,可知该处指每个车厢……都得跟着火车的其他部分行进,因此该空应该填rest。
34. in
上文提到车钩连接了火车不同的车厢,该处表达与之相似的意思,指“同样地,发言者也应该用连接词把言语和段落连接起来……”。in the same way指“以同样的方式”。
35. what
indicate之后的成分为并列宾语从句,而第一个宾语从句缺少主语,因此该处应该填入疑问代词what。
36. relates
and连接的第二个从句中的it指的是该句中出现的a directional signal,文中指“表明这个方向信号与前文有何关系”。relate to在该处指“涉及,关系到”。
37. over
根据上下文可知,此处指“听众不能像读文章那样重新回顾发言者说过的内容”。go over有“复习,回顾”的意思,故该空填介词over。
38. distinguish
此处需联系标点符号的作用,可推测文中指“听众没有标点符号来帮助他们把一个观点与另一个观点区分开来”,distinguish A from B指“把A和B区分开来”,因此该空需填入distinguish。
39. follow
上文提到听众没法重新回顾发言者说过的内容,而且不能借助标点符号来区分不同的观点。由此可知“发言者需要用一些词组或句子类的线索来帮助听众跟上观点的转变”,因此此处应该填入表示“跟上,跟进”的词,故填follow。
40. useful
该处需填入一个形容词来修饰名词signposts,冒号表示之后的内容是对上文的解释说明,该句中冒号之后提到了开头和结尾处的总结especially helpful,由此可知该处应该填入与helpful相近的内容,因此可填入useful(有用的)。

    一、考题回顾



    二、考题解析
    【教案】
    Teaching aims:
    Knowledge aim:
    Students will know the rule of logical stress in a complete sentence.
    Ability aim:
    Students will use the logical stress correctly and know how to make use of the sentence stress in different sentences correctly.
    Emotional aim:
    Students will be more confident in speaking English.
    Key and difficult point:
    Key Point: Students will master the rule of logical stress in sentences in English.
    Difficult Point: Students can use the logical stress in sentences in daily life.
    Teaching procedure:
    Step 1: Warming-up
    1. Greetings.
    2. Listen to an English song and feel about the tune of the melody. Let students to know that not only songs but also the language has its stress in order to express different emotions.
    Step 2: Presentation
    1. Work in pairs to read the passage by themselves and ask them to pay more attention to the sentence stress. After practice, ask one pair to perform it and others should tell their opinion whether they agree or not.
    2. Listen to the tape of the passage and find out whether the students themselves make any mistakes. Then let students find out the rule of the sentence stress (logical stress ) with the help of the teacher: in a sentence we can stress the important part according to the meaning of the passage. After the students find the rule, the teacher read the passage and let them repeat after it.
    Step 3: Practice
    1. Ask students to read the passage by themselves again and they should use the correct logical stress while reading.
    2. Give students more sentences and ask them read the sentences by themselves using the logical stress.
    Step4: Production
    Let students work in groups of 4 and make a dialogue about the theme parks, such as the theme, the feature, the activities and so on, and they should use the rule of logical stress learned in the class. After that invite two groups to share their outcomes with the whole class.
    Step5: Summary and Homework
    Summary: ask a student to conclude the content of the lesson and summarize with the whole class.
    Homework: ask students to read the work of Shakespeare’s and use the logical stress learned today after class.
    Blackboard design:



    1. Can you conclude the rule of sentence stress comprehensively?
    2. Are you satisfied with this presentation? Which do you think is the most difficult part?


    答案：
    解析：
    1.
    As far as I’m concerned, there are two sentence stress rules: logical stress and grammatical stress. Logical stress is what i have presented in the presentation. The grammatical stress refers to that we need to stress notional word, which usually contains noun, verb, adjective adverb and so on. At the same time, the functional word needn’t to be stressed, which usually includes conjunction, article and preposition.
    2.
    The difficulty in my eyes is: first of all, without the participation of students, because of the teaching reasons, I can not interact effectively with students based on their feedback. In this case, it is difficult for me to organize classroom teaching activities and achieve the desired results. Second, what I need to improve is to introduce the key points to the students in a way that is easy to accept and adapt to the environment without an atmosphere of spoken English, because my spoken English is not very fluent, and I am very concerned about this interview. So I felt a little nervous. However, all these factors did not affect my overall performance. In view of the above problems, I will constantly reflect, and learn from experience in practice to improve my teaching ability. In short, I am basically satisfied with the presentation.
