3.Debate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring long-lastingrewards,especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate ispresenting one' s opinion and suppmting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts. It is a way ofpersuasive communication.Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important tounderstanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how togive their opinkm,reasans and support. "What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinkingor approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else' s opinion, rather thanbrush their opinion aside. "Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are the customem. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to the customer and they" ll make as strong a ease as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, anothercompany will come in and present their ease to the customer. Usually the party that can presentthe strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to askquestionsand try to understand someone' s reasons and evidence.lift-. Lebeau points out thatsuccessful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look forthe weak points in someone else' s opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view. Mr. Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind.

7.“I love you Bob.” “I love you too, Nancy.” it was 2 a.m., and I was hearing my parents’ voices throughthe thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet, touching—andsurprising. My parents married on September 14, 1940, after a brief dating. She was nearly 30 andknew it was time to start a family. The handsome well-educated man who came by the office whereshe worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure, her blue eyes. The romancedidn’t last long. Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated thethought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, she a loyal Democrat. They fought at thebridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the perceived shortcomings of their respectivein-laws. There was a hope that they would change once they retired, and the angry winds did calmsomewhat, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. “I always thought we’d …”my mother would begin, before launching into a precise listing of my father’s faults. The complaintswere recited so often, I can repeat them by heart today. as he listened, my father would say angrythreats and curses in a low voice. It wasn’t the happiest marriage, but as their 60th anniversary(纪念日)approached, my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time, after all;why not try to make the best of things? We’d provide the cakes, the balloons, the toasts, and they’dfollow one rule: no fighting. The agreement was honored. We had a wonderful day. When wethought back, we found it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began tochange for my parents.The purpose for the writer to hold the party is____.

Passage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide.42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?

10.根据以下材料，回答40-43题 How men first learned to invent words is unknown；in other words，the origin of language is amystery．All we really know is that men，unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could communicate with each other；and that later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be combined to representthose sounds and which could be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken，or written in letters，we call words． The power of words，then，lies in their associations—the things they bring up before ourminds．Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer We live，the morecertain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，themore the number of words that mean something to us increases． Great writers are those who not oily have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in wordswhich appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions．This charming and telling use of words is whatwe call literary(文字的)style．AboVe all，the real poet is a master of Words．He can convey hismeaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move mento tears．We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accuratel3r，or they willmake our speech silly and rude．The origin of language．

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities.Of course.there have always been people who have looked foradventure-those whohave climbed the highest mountains,explored unknown parts of the world or sailed insmall boats across the greatestoceans.Now,however,there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity.You jumpfrom a high place(perhaps a bridge,or a hot-air balloon)200 meters above the groundwith an elastic rope tied to your ankles,You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour till therope stops you from hitting the ground.It is estimated that 2 million people around theworld have now tried bungee jumping.Other activities as risky as bungee jumping involvejumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs.Why do people take part in such activities as these?Some psychologists suggest that it is because life inmodern societies has become sate and boring.Not very long ago,people's lives were constantly under threat.They had to go out and hunt for food,diseases could not easily becured,and life was a continuous battle for survival.

Nowadays,according to many people,lite offers little excitement.They live and work in comparatively safe environment,they buy food in shops,and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.the answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

Passage Four

(84) Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.

Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?

All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.

(85) If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a difficult living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour ’s anger. The teaching in the Bible ―Let not the sun go down upon your wrath ‖ is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.―Let not the sun go down upon your wrath ‖ probably means ―______.
