题目内容
18.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,it is understanding.We need to listen to what is said and unsaid,and also how it is said.It's 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 you're not sure you've heard accurately,ask the speakers.At this point you're not evaluating,just looking for accuracy and understanding.Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don't 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 person apparently feeling?Now you might not know for sure,but be considerate,open to understanding,and ask thoughtful questions.

分析 本文主要讲述了如何"聆听",这与"听"不同.聆听需要通过说话的内容、语调、语气、手势、眼神和面部表情等等来判断对方的意图.
解答 32~35.CDAB
32.C 考查细节理解.根据"For Glennie,and for us too,listening is not only hearing,it is understanding."可知,作者举这个例子是为了解释listening的含义,"倾听"不单单指感官上的"听",也是指"理解".故选C.
33.D 考查细节理解.根据Mark Twain 所说的,"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug(萤火虫)",正确的词和几乎正确的词之间的区别犹如闪电和萤火虫之间的区别,也就是天壤之别.所以说单词之间的细微差别可能就是天差地别,会导致误解.故选D.
34.A 考查词意推断.根据"People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say"可知,人们用他们的声音和身体语言发出的信号有时和他们所说的不同.所以作者质疑人们所说的内容与其手势、眼神和面部表情是否"一致/匹配".故选A.
35.B 考查主旨大意.根据最后一段的内容可知,聆听不能单单通过语言,而应该注意说话的语调、语气、手势、眼神和面部表情等等,所以说聆听不一定是通过说话内容.故选B.
