第2题：
When a speech sound changes and becomes more like another sound that follows or precedes it, it is said to be______A.nasalizeD.B.voiceD.C.aspirateD.D.assimilateD.答案：D解析：D选项，assimilated同化：一个音通过吸收其相邻音的特点，变得与其相似，这种音系规则叫做同化。综上，D选项正确。
A选项，nasalized鼻音化，元音后紧跟一个鼻音时, 该元音要鼻音化。如bean/ green 中的[i:]音。元音的音同时经过口腔,鼻腔发出,会有些改变,而后面的鼻音几乎就没有发出来，不合题意，故排除。
B选项，voiced 浊音的，不合题意，故排除。
C选项，aspirated 送气的，不合题意，故排除。
故正确选项为D。 -

English and English Community
1There is no doubt that English is a useful language.The people who speak English
today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of
Chinese.
2 A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities.The people who make up
the community share a common language.Often they live side by side,as they do in a
neighborhood（街坊）,a village,or a city. More often they form a whole country. National
boundaries,however,are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community.
A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where
they happen to live.
3 We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community.
For convenience（方便）,we may divide the speakers into two groups:one in which the
speakers use English as their native language,the other in which the speakers learn English
as a second language for the purpose of education,commerce,and so on.

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.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)。解析： 暂无解析 -

Dinterval shifts of the materials of the coverage
正确答案： A解析：
本题可用排除法。倒数第二段第二句提到“A vivid pictorial report followed by less exacting…”可见插入图片是有效的，排除A项。第五段第三句提到“A decline in live coverage could send viewers away and drive ratings down”现场报道的减少可能会使收视率降低，这也就从反面说明现场报道而不只是口头解释会更有效，故排除B项。倒数第二段第四句提到“Frequent switches from one anchor to another or from one film or tape report to another create a sense of forward movement.”频繁地从一个节目跳到另一个会产生一种“前向运动”的感觉。这也从反面说明报道中间隔的休息也是必要的，选项D也可排除。所以选B。
