Question

11．"A wise old owl sat on an oak．The more he saw，the less he spoke，the more he heard．Why aren't we like that wise old bird？---Edward H．Richards
We all need to learn to listen well．Listening is a learned skill，the same as speaking in public．It just takes much longer to learn!Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day．And I mean active listening，not just listening when it is convenient to us．
Listening shows others that they are important．It's a sign of respect（尊重）．If someone listen to you carefully when you are talking，it shows that they are really interested in what you are saying．
How do you practice listening？Here are some basic rules：
Put down whatever is in your hands．Are you in the middle of writing something？Put down the pen and fold you hands．Are you reading something？Close it so that it will be impossible for you to look down and start reading again．Then put it down．
Turn off your computer．The computer will distract you from your job at hand-listening．
Face the person you are speaking with．Facing the person you are speaking with will help you focus completely on listening．It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important．
Mind your body language．Learning into the speaker will show interest．Crossing your arms in front of your chest shows disagreements．Looking around the room shows you have no interest．Tapping your fingers tells the speaker that you are really too busy for him．Looking at that speaker in the eye tells him that he is important．
Lstening completely．Do not start making comments after the first few words．Do not start thingking about your reply in your mind．Pay attention to the speaker．Really listen to what he is telling you．

我们都需要学会聆听．听是一种习得技能，与在公共场合演讲是一样的．它只是需要花更长的时间学．听也是我们每天应该练习的技能．我的意思是主动聆听，而不是仅仅无意识的听．聆听是向对方表示了他们是重要的．它是一种尊重的象征．如果有人认真听你讲话，表明他们的确对你所讲的话感兴趣．你怎么样练习聆听？有以下几种基本规则：放下你手头任何东西；关上电脑； 面对你正在谈话的人；注意你的体态语；充分聆听．

解答 答案：
42．B     推理判断题     根据第二段We all need to learn to listen well可知，作者认为我们都需要学会聆听．由此可推知，作者引用爱德华这首富有哲理的诗来引出自己的观点，说明听的重要．故选B
43．B     段落大意题     根据第三段的前两句Listening shows others that they are important．It's a sign of respect（尊重）．聆听是向对方表示了他们是重要的．它是一种尊重的象征．可知该段主要讲了聆听的重要性．故选B
44．C      词义猜测题    根据第六段第一句Turn off your computer．关上电脑，可知作者希望大家关上电脑去专心聆听，因此这里说的应该是电脑会让人分心，故选C
45．C     细节理解题     根据最后一段Lstening completely．Do not start making comments after the first few words．充分聆听．不要在听了几句话之后，开始评论．可知在别人没有说完之前，不要作出任何评论，故选C

点评 本文通过一首具有哲理性的英文小诗讲了学会聆听的重要性以及怎么样练习聆听．一般而言，英语文章的主题通常反映在文章的题目、一段的开头，也有可能在段中或段末．在进行阅读理解的过程中可采用两种方法：先通读全文，再答题；先看文章后的问题，再从文章中找答案．第二种方法对解决事实细节题比较有效，考生可带着问题在文中寻找答案
