CPersuasion is to convince someone to agree with you, just like art which also calls for special technique
27、s to accomplish. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or educ
28、ation he has in the field. After all, youre more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.Pathos is a speakers way of connecting with an audiences emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say
29、that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats to make the viewers feel pity, so they will be more likely to
30、donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos and logos all have t
31、heir strengths, they are often most effective when used together. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.28. What is the purpose of persuasion?A. To a
32、dvise somebody to support you. B. To help someone have special skills.C. To convince somebody to realize his aim. D. To talk someone into being honest.29. What is a speakers way of convincing the audience to trust him?A. Pathos.B. Ethos.C. Logos.D. Education.30. What do a politician and an animal ch
33、arity have in common?A. Both prevent themselves from being hurt. B. Both save people from terrible wars.C. Both make the audience support them. D. Both persuade people to donate money.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Convince the Audience.B. Three Basic Tools of Persu
34、asionC. Believe Me.D. Strength of PersuasionDNowadays people begin to pay more attention to the environment they live in. They care about air quality and water they drink every day. But few things exercise green sensibilities more than marine (海洋的)plastic litter. Scientists estimate that perhaps 16,
35、000,000 tons of plastic waste enters the ocean each year. Much stays close to the shore. Some, though, is carried by waves to the ocean. The biggest part is located halfway between California and Hawaii. A study found that it contains between about 45,000 and 129,000 tons of plastic pieces over an a
36、rea roughly the size of Alaska. The idea of sweeping it all up might sound impossible. To Boyan Slat it seemed merely ambitious. What if, wondering in 2012 (then aged 18) , he could build a large bow-shaped floating barrier, cast it to the seabed and let waves wash the litter into the “spoon”? Despi
37、te his youthful age and crazy plan, Mr. Slat set up the Ocean Cleanup to put it into practice. Six years later, the “spoon” named System 001 set sail from San Francisco on September 8th, followed by coast guards, camera crews and curious boaters. System 001 , which is made of plastic, is 600 meters
38、long and 1.2 meters in diameter(直径). A three-meter-deep skirt beneath the “spoon” prevents litter from escaping under it; plastic tends to float within a meter of the waters surface. The spoon ” is even simpler than Mr. Slats original idea, having dispensed(摒弃) with the anchor. The spoon which is dr
39、iven by waves as well as wind, always moves faster than the plastic. It therefore brings the litter up as it floats. If System 001 succeeds, Mr. Slat wants to put another 60 spoons into use. Corporate sponsors would offer him 5 million euros for construction and three years operation. Mr. LeBreton t
40、hinks that a fleet (舰队) of “spoons” could, by 2040, sweep up all the non-tiny plastic pieces. If plastic waste continues coming, it would outweigh the fleets ability to catch it within a few years. The oceans plastic problem cannot really be solved without better waste management on land.32. What do
41、es the underlined phrase exercise green sensibilities in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Do some exercise in a green way. B. Be sensitive to sports. C. Contribute to a greener life. D. Cause concern about the environment.33. When did Boyan Slat begin to put the spoon into practice? A. In 2008. B. In 2012.
42、C. In 2018. D. In 2000.34. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Mr. Slat has dispensed with the skirt beneath the “spoon”. B. Wind and waves help System 001 move faster than plastic litter. C. The “spoon” is made of plastic to better catch plastic litter. D. No plastic litter can escape thanks to t
43、he skirt under it.35. What may be the best title for the text? A.A “Spoon” Takes Away Marine Plastic Litter B. System 001 Has a Promising Future C. Marine Plastic Litter Hits D. Marine Plastic Litter Floats Away二、七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Try This at Home!Are you looking for a new
