问答题
The education of humanists cannot be regarded as complete, or even adequate, without exposure in some depth to where things stand in the various branches of science, particularly, in the areas of our ignorance. Physics professors, most of them, look with revulsion on assignments to teach their subjects to poets. The liberal arts faculties, for their parts, will continue to view the scientists with suspicion and apprehension. But maybe, a new set of courses dealing systematically with ignorance in science will take hold. The scientists might discover in it a new and subversive technique for catching the attention of students driven by curiosity, delighted and surprised to learn that science is exactly as some scientists described it: an “less frontier.” The humanists, for their part, might take considerable satisfaction in watching their scientific colleagues confess openly to not knowing everything about everyone. And the poets, on whose shoulders the future rests, might, late nights, thinking things over, begin to see some meanings that elude the rest of us.

正确答案：
人文主义者的教育如果不在一定深度上了解科学各个领域的情况,尤其是我们一无所知的领域,那就不能视为是完全的,或是足够的。大多数的物理教师很反感教诗人物理。而文科教师会继续以怀疑和恐惧的心情看待科学家。或许,那些帮助学生系统地了解科学方面所不知道的东西的新课程将会建立。科学家或许会从中发现新的和具有影响的技巧,来吸引好奇的学生的注意力,而这些学生会惊奇地发现科学正如一些科学家所描述的那样是一个永远也开发不完的处女地。而当人文主义者注意到他们的科学家同事公开承认并不是对任何东西都彻底了解时,也会感到极大的满足。而身上寄托着未来的诗人们,或许在深夜反复思索,开始领会到了我们大多数人所不能理解的意义。

Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be,I learned in kindergarten.Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate mountain,but there in the sand pile at nursery school.
These are the things I learned:Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people.Put things back where you found them.Clean up your own mess.Don't take things that aren't yours.Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.Wash your hands before you eat.Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.Live a balanced life.Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work everyday some.
Take a nap every afternoon.When you go out into the world,watch for traffic,hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup?The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why,but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup一they all die.So do we.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned,the biggest word of all: Look.Everything you need to know is in there somewhere,the Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation,ecology and polities and sane living.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all一the whole world一had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.Or if we had a basic policy in our nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes.And it is still true,no matter how old you are,when you go out into the world,it is better to hold hands and stick together.When you go out into the world,watch for traffic,hold hands and stick together.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：第一段最后一句提到，智慧不在研究生院的山巅之上，而在幼儿园的沙堆里。因此选B。
第二段提到，有张有弛的平衡的生活是在幼儿园学到的。因此选B。
第二段提到，热的甜点和凉的牛奶对身体有益。
第三段第二句提到，当大家外出时，注意交通安全，记得手挽手，彼此互相扶持。因此该句正确。

文中没有提到《迪克和珍妮》是美国的书。
无论多大年龄，当你进入社会后，最好和别人手牵手，团结一致，这便是真理。 -

第5题：
It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college.Students without experience can catch up after a fewi ntroductory courses,said Tom Cortina,the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.However,Cortina said,early exposure is beneficial.When younger kids learn computer science,they learn that it’s not just a confusing,endless string of letters and numbers—but a tool to build apps,or create artwork,or test hypotheses.It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students.Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal.Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap,Cortinasaid.Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college,where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim,which candrivet heless-experiencedor-determined students away.The Flatiron School,where people pay to learn programming,started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change.The high-schoolers get the same curriculum,but“we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,”said Victoria Friedman,an instructor.For instance,one of the apps the students aredevelopingsuggestsmoviesbasedonyourmood.The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook.Programming languages have a quick turnover,so the“Ruby on Rails”language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market.But the skills they learn—how to think logically through a problem and organize the results—apply to any coding language,said Deborah Seehorn,an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.Indeed,the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all.But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes.These kids are going to be surrounded by computers—in their pockets,in their offices,in their homes—forthe rest of their lives.The younger they learn how computers think,how to coax the machine into producing what they want—the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that—the better.
Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to____.A.complete future job training
B.remodel the way of thinking
C.formula telogical hypotheses
D.perfect artwork production答案：B解析：根据题干关键词Cortina，early exposure和easier可以定位到第二段第一、二句，该段第一句指出“科尔蒂纳也说过，早一些接触是很有益的”，紧接着在第三句将小孩子与年纪较大的学生进行对比，表明对于小孩子来说，改变其思维过程并不是很难，（B）remodel the way of thinking是对原文第三句中transform their thought processes的同义改写，由此可知，正确答案为B。 -
第6题：
资料：When we see well，we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes，Everything else seems blurry（=unclear）.Many people who do a lot of work，such as writing，reading and sewing become near-sighted.
People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away，but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading，they must get glasses，too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism. This，too，can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now，however，it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself，look at an object out of one eye；Then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
We should take good care of our eyes______.A.even if we can see well
B.only when we cannot see perfectly
C.only when we realize how important our eyes are
D.only when we can see well答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】take good care of；our eyes
【主题句】第1自然段When we see well，we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are. 当我们看东西很清楚的时候，我们不经常想到我们的眼睛。只有当我们无法完美地看到时，我们才意识到我们的眼睛多么重要。
【解析】本题的问题是“我们应该好好保护我们的眼睛________”A选项“即使我们能看得很清楚”；B选项“当我们无法完美地看到时”；C选项“只有当我们意识到我们的眼睛有多重要时”；D选项“只有在我们能够看得出来的时候”。根据主题句分析可知，我们无论何时都要保护好眼睛，不要在看不清的时候才意识到严重性，故A选项符合题意。 -

第一篇
A Society Without a Formal Authority
In the seventeenth century,European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the westem Great Lakes found that several native tribes（部落）were living in the area without a formal leadership system.They appeared to be"quite friendly with each other without a formal authority"!
Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority,but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions.All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by lifelong（一生的）familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indians' rate of social change was slow. Thus,although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders,no real authority was required.Rather than giving direct orders(which were considered rough),members of the tribes would arouse others to action by examples.
It would be difficult,if not impossible,to carry out such a system in our own society.Most oi us have grown up under one authority or another for as long as we can remember. Our parents,our teachers,our bosses,our government all have the recognized right under certain conditions to tell u, what to do.The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workabl( society without it.We have been used to relying on authority to get things done and would probably be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on a large scale.
Of course,the major reason why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that our society is too large.The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often undertight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system,in modern societies, the formal authority system is necessary to achieve any social objectives.Members of the tribes got others to do things___________.
A:with resolution
B:by examples
C:by force
D:with effort答案：B解析：本题问“下列哪项关于欧洲士兵的陈述是正确的？”文章第一段提到“欧洲士兵偶然遇见一群居住在西部大湖群的印第安人”。选项A、选项B、选项D在文中都未提到。因此选项C“他们偶然遇见一些印第安部落”符合题意。
本题问“通过何种方法部落成员使其他成员做事”。文章第二段末尾提到“部落成员通过榜样的力量唤起其他成员采取行动，而不是发出直接命令”。由此可知选项 B“通过榜样”符合题意。
本题是“根据作者的看法，一个社会没有······很难运转”。文章第三段中间提到："The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workable society without it.”因此选A。
本题是“读过文章，可得出结论······”。文章前两段谈到印第安部落的制度模式，第三段提到“It would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society"，第四段解释我们的社会不能执行印第安人的制度的原因。综上所述，选项D“印第安制度很难在我们的社会中执行”符合题意。implement等于carry out（执行）。
本题是“从文章中可以看出，执行我们社会中的任务······”。文章最后一段说“The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often under tight time"。因此选项C“没有任何施延”符合提议。 -

The Sea
What do you know about the sea?We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it.We
also know that it can be very rough when there is a strong wind.What other things do we know about it?The
first thing to remember is that the sea is very big.When you look at the map of the world you will find there
is more water than land.The sea covers three quarters of the world.
The sea is also very deep in some places.It is not deep everywhere.Some parts of the sea are very shal-
low.But in some places the depth of the sea is very great.There is one spot,near Japan,where the sea is
nearly 11 kilometers deep!The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high.If that mountain
were put into the sea at that place,there would be 2 kilometers of water above it！What a deep place!
If you have swum in the sea,you know that it is salty.You can taste the salt,Rivers,which fi0w into the
sea.carry salt from the land into the sea.Some parts of the sea are saltier than other parts,There i、one sea,
called the Dead Sea,which is very salty.It is so salty that swimmers cannot sink!Fish cannot live in the
Dead Sea!
In most parts of the sea,there are plenty of fishes and plants.Some live near the top of the sca.Othurs
live deep down.There are millions of tiny living things that float in the sea.These floating things are so small
that it is hard to see them.Many fish live by eating them.
The sea can be very cold.Divers,who go deep down in the sea,know this.On the top the water may be
warm.When the diver goes downwards,the sea becomnes colder and colder. Another thing happens.When the
diver goes deeper,the water above presses down on him.It squeezes him.Then the diver has to wear clothes
made of metal.But he cannot go very deep.Some people who wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving
ship!They went down to the deepest part of the sea in it.They went down to a depth of eleven kilometers!The Dead Sea is so salty that nothing can live in it.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：C解析：第一段说“当阳光普照大海时大海看起来很美丽”，但并没说“风平浪静”时也是如此。
第一段的最后一句话说海洋覆盖了地球四分之三的面积，由此可推知陆地只占地球 25％的面积。
第二段涉及大海的深度，但并没说到“平均深度”。
第二段说死海咸度大，鱼类不能生存，但并没说所有生物都不能生存。
第四段说在绝大多数海域，有丰富的鱼类和植物，有些生活在海洋表层，有些居住在深 海，因此说越往海洋深处鱼类和植物越少是没有道理的。

It also takes rise to blurring of the distinction between ? 7．______science and technology. Lots of people don’t differ between the two. Science is the 8．______production of new knowledge that can be applied or not, and technology is theapplication of knowledge to the production of some products, machinery or thelike. The two are really very different, and people who have the faculty for onevery seldom have a faculty for the others. ?9．______Science in itself is harmless, more or less. But as soon as it can providetechnology, it is not necessarily harmful. No society has yet learned to forecast 10．______the consequences of new technology, which can be enormous.正确答案：
1.将which改为where或在which前加in。 此处需要一个状语从句,而不是which引导的定语从句。
2.√
3.将so改为but/however/nevertheless。 根据上下文可知这里是转折关系,而不是顺承关系。
4.去掉about。 explain是及物动词,可以直接加宾语。
5.将you改为they。 此处的先行词是the kids。
6.将like改为as。such as 是固定搭配,“比如,例如”。
7.将takes改为gives。 give rise to是固定搭配,表示“引起,导致”之意。
8.将differ改为distinguish。 differ表示“有区别”,这里要用distinguish,表示“区分,找出……的差别”。
9.将others改为other。 he other和上文的one构成固定搭配,表示在两者中“一个……;另外一个……”。
10.将harmful改为harmless。 这里是双重否定表肯定,若用harmful则意义相反,不能与上文形成对比关系。解析： 暂无解析 -

Passage Four
Students all over the world have to work for their education. A college education in the United States is
expensive. The costs are so high that most families begin to save for their children's education when their children are babies. Even so, many young people cannot afford to pay the expenses of full-time college work. They do not have enough money to pay for school costs. Tuition for attending the university, books for classes, and living expenses are high. There are other expenses such as chemistry and biology lab fees and special student activity fees for such things as parking permits and football tic, kets. The cost of college education increases every year. However, classrooms are still crowded with students. Some American students have scholarships or other support, but many do not.
Students from other countries have money problems to overcome, too. Because students in most international programs need to have a sponsor, they work hard to earn scholarships or special loans. International students understand the value of going to school in another country. They also know that it is difficult. Yet just as Americans choose to attend American universities in spite of the difficulty, however, it is usually possible for students from abroad to work on university campuses to pay for some of the costs of their education. Some people believe that students value their education more if they work for it.
48. Tuition for attending the university in the United States is ______.
A. inexpensive
B. high
C. free from charge
D. costless

C:Not mentioned答案：C解析：第一段说“当阳光普照大海时大海看起来很美丽”，但并没说“风平浪静”时也是如此。
第一段的最后一句话说海洋覆盖了地球四分之三的面积，由此可推知陆地只占地球 25％的面积。
第二段涉及大海的深度，但并没说到“平均深度”。
第二段说死海咸度大，鱼类不能生存，但并没说所有生物都不能生存。
第四段说在绝大多数海域，有丰富的鱼类和植物，有些生活在海洋表层，有些居住在深 海，因此说越往海洋深处鱼类和植物越少是没有道理的。
由第五段可知潜水员潜得越深，其承受的水压就越大。
文章结尾说潜水员潜往深水区时，乘坐极其坚固的潜水船是为了抵抗水压而不是为了 防寒。第3部分：概括大意与完成句子 -
第20题：
问答题Practice 2 Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state: without it, it (1)______ not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us; (2) ______ the workers in government offices who look after our health, our food, our water, and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves. By means of taxation, we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat. But (3) ______ everyone knows that taxation is necessary, different people have different ideas about (4) ______ taxation should be arranged. In most countries, a direct tax on (5) ______, which is called income tax, (6) ______. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing, and the percentage of tax grows (7) ______ as the taxpayer’s income grows. In some countries, for example, the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninety-five percent! But countries with direct taxation nearly (8) ______ have indirect taxation too. Many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”. Of course, it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops (9) ______ really have to pay the duties, in the (10) ______ of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax on things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected but the poor people suffer most. If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed, less money is obtained but the tax is fairer, as the rich pay it.[A] nor [B] will [C] form[D] if [E] exists [F] who[G] people [H] larger [I] always[J] that [K] though [L] periodically[M] would [N] persons [O] how正确答案： 1.M would。考 点:助动词。空格前为主语it,后面有系动词be,故该处应填入助动词。根据上下文语境和句中without it可知此句描述的情况与现状相反,需要使用虚拟语气,因此主句谓语部分由would+动词原形组成,故选择M项。
2.A nor。考 点:连词。该句为否定句,且空格前后为并列成分,故应使用连接词。句意:如果没有征税就没有钱来支付保护我们的士兵和警察,也不可能有钱来支付政府公务员。这个句子是两个否定句相连,应使用连接词组not...nor,故选择A项。
3.K though。考 点:连词。该句前后存在语义转折,含有让步关系,故应填入表示让步的连词。该句表达的是,虽然每个人都知道征税是必要的,但不同的人对征税怎样安排持有不同的观点。句中的but是明显的转折性标志,故选K项though有让步转折的意思。
4.O how。考 点:连词。分析句子可知,该处缺少表达方式的连词。由上下文语意可知,此处想强调不同的人对征税的方式有不同观点,所以应选择how来引导介词about后的宾语从句,表示方式,故选O项。
5.N persons。考 点:名词。分析句子可知,介词on后面接的是征税的方式或对象,故应填入名词。在大多数国家,存在按人头直接征收的income tax,即个人所得税,四个选项中只有persons能表达“个人”的意思,故选择N项。
6.E exists。考 点:动词。分析句子成分可知,该句缺少谓语,故应填入动词。根据上下文的意思,此处想表达在大多数国家存在个人所得税。exist表示“存在”。故选择E项。
7.H larger。考 点:形容词。空格前grows相当于系动词be,而且空格修饰的是the percentage of tax,故应填入形容词。这句话要强调的是随着纳税人收入的增加,需纳税的比例也在增长。和percentage搭配表示增长,应使用large,该处表示的是比例变大,故使用其比较级larger,所以选择H项。
8.I always。考 点:副词。分析句子成分可知,该句成分完整,所以考虑填入副词。征收直接税的国家几乎也都征收间接税。此处需要一个表示“总是”含义的副词,故always“总是,一直”,符合句意。选项中副词还有periodically“周期地,定期地”,但不符合原文内容,应排除,故选择I项。
9.F who。考 点:连接词。分析句子结构可知,该句为强调句型,并缺少连接词。此题考查It is…who/that…强调句型结构。联系上下文,该部分强调的是the men and women,表示人,所以使用who作连接词,故选择F项。
10.C form。考 点:名词。句意:那些在商店购买进口商品的男男女女须要通过高价格的形式来纳税。所以此处缺少的是表示方式的连接词组。in the form of表示“以……的形式”符合句意,故选择C项。解析： 暂无解析 -
第21题：
问答题TechnologyWhen faced with some new and possibly confusing technological change, most people react in one of two ways. They (1)____refuse to accept anything new, claiming that it is unnecessary or too complicated or that it somehow makes life less than human. Or they learn to (2) ada____ to the new invention, and eventually wonder how they could possibly have existed without it. (3)____computers as an example. For many of us, they still represent a (4) thr____ to our freedom, and give us a frightening sense of a future in which all (5)____(decide) will be taken by machines. This may be because they seem mysterious, and difficult to (6) und____. Ask most people what you use a home computer for, and you can usually get vague answers about how “they give you information”. In fact, even those of us who are familiar with computers, and use them in our daily work, have very little idea of how they (7)____. But it does not take long to learn how to operate a business programme, even if things occasionally go (8)____for no apparent reason. Presumably much the same happened when the telephone and the television became widespread. What seems to alarm most people is the speed of (9)____(technology) change, rather than change itself. And the objections that are made to new technology may well have a point to them, (10) si____ change is not always an improvement. As we discover during power cuts, there is a lot to be said for the oil lamp, the coal fire, and forms of entertainment, such as books or board games, that don’t have to be plugged into work.正确答案： 1.either 由前一句的“one of two ways”和后面的“or”可知,空格处应该填either。either…or…或者…或者…。
2.adapt adapt to适应…。文意是他们要么拒绝,要么适应新的发明。
3.Take take…as an example以…为例,固定搭配。
4.threat 由后面的frightening可知前面空格处应该填一个与之意思相近或相连的词,由提示字母可知应该填threat。threat威胁。
5.decisions 将来机器有可能替我们做决定。“做决定”可以用“make decisions”或是“take decisions”表示。
6.understand 由逗号前的mysterious可推知他们让人很难理解。
7.work 句意:即使是我们当中那些每天都使用计算机的人,他们虽对计算机很熟悉,但对于计算机是怎样运行的却知之甚少。work工作,运行。
8.wrong go wrong出错,犯错误,固定搭配。
9.technological 让很多的人警觉起来的是技术的改变而不是改变本身。这也与文章开篇提到的technological change相对应。
10.since 前一句说有人对这种新技术持反对意见也有一定的理由,后半句由since引出这个理由。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 8 For most people the word “education” means “school” and “school” conjures up an image of a building with classrooms. But what do people think of when they hear “literacy programmes”? Probably nothing. Living in illiteracy is such an unknown-even a little mysterious-experience. Yet today nearly a billion people are illiterate, not to mendon the 113 million school-aged children who do not attend school. Wonderful progress has been made during the last half of the twentieth century in the field of education. But still the number of adult illiterates, particularly women, rises. This is now the challenge of the twenty-first century-the thorn in the side of efforts to achieve Education for All (EFA). It has become clear that Education for All cannot be possible without Literacy for All. However, tremendous strides have been made in literacy. How has this been possible? Who brought it about? The people behind literacy efforts must be congratulated for working against all odds to bring about this achievement. But where are they? Who are they? What are their tasks like? And their problems, challenges and rewards? What inspires them? What conditions do they work and live under?正确答案： 【参考译文】
对大部分人来说,“教育”就意味着“学校”,而一提到“学校”,他们想到的就是大楼里一间间的教室。但当听到“扫盲计划”的时候,他们会想到什么呢?也许什么也没有。
文盲是怎样生活的?我们不知道;对我们来说,甚至还会感到有些神秘。但即使在今天,世界上还有10亿文盲,这个数字还不包括1. 13亿失学的学龄儿童。当然,20世纪后半叶,教育领域已取得了长足的进步。但成人文盲的人数,尤其是妇女文盲的人数却增加了。这是对21世纪的挑战——对我们实现“全民教育”计划的努力,无疑也是一个巨大的障碍。非常明显,没有“全民扫盲”,就不会有“全民教育”。
当然,扫盲工作已取得了巨大的成就。那么,这些成就是怎么取得的呢?是谁作出了这些成就的?我们必须赞扬那些为扫盲工作做出贡献的人,他们克服了种种困难才取得了这些成就。那么,他们这些人在哪儿呢?他们又是谁?他们是怎样工作的?他们会遇到些什么样的问题扣挑战?他们能取得多少报酬?是什么激励他们从事扫盲工作的?他们的工作条件和生活条件又是什么样的? 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 6 None of us can afford to be complacent about our command of English. For most of the time, of course, there is no problem: we are dealing with family and friends on everyday affairs; and what is more, we are usually talking to them, not writing. It is in ordinary talk to ordinary people on ordinary matters that we are most at home, linguistically and otherwise. And fortunately, this is the situation that accounts for the overwhelming majority of our needs in the use of English. Problems arise as soon as the context is somewhat out of the ordinary. We suddenly need to address a cousin about the death of her husband; or we are writing to our employer to explain temporary absence; composing the minutes of a particularly delicate committee meeting; even just drafting an announcement to pin on the club notice board. This is when we may—or should—pause and wonder about idiom, good usage, the most appropriate way of putting things. There is the risk of sounding too casual, too colloquial, too flippant. There is the converse risk of seeming ponderous, distant, pompous, unnatural; of using an expression which, instead of striking a resonant note, falls flat as a hackneyed cliché.正确答案： 【参考译文】
我们谁都不能对自己所掌握的英语洋洋自得。当然,许多时候,不会有什么问题:我们每天见的不过是些家人朋友,而且,我们一般都是口头说,而不是动笔写。见些平常人,说些平常话,讲些平常事,这个时候,我们最为轻松自如,无论是使用语言,还是沉默无语。所幸的是,绝大多数人使用语言,遇到的不过是这样的情况。
一旦情况和平常不大一样,就会出现问题。譬如,表姐的丈夫去世,我们突然需要向她表示慰问;或者,我们临时缺席,需要向老板陈述理由;或者,委员会会议议题非常敏感,我们需要整理写出会议记录;甚至我们不过是要起草个通知,亮在俱乐部的通知板上。这个时候,我们可能会,也应当会停下来想一想,找些习语和好的说法,找出最合乎时宜的表达方式。如果听上去太随意,太白话,太轻率,就有问题。然而反过来说,如果看上去思虑过多,不够贴近,言语浮夸,不够自然,也会有问题。或者有些说法,没有让人引起共鸣,却是陈词滥调,平淡无味,自然也是问题。解析： 暂无解析
