22、e coat, who rashes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. “Who is that?“ the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, thats God,“ came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks hes a doctor.“If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position t

23、o know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and itll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairmans notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustnt attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider makin

24、g disparaging remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff rem

25、arks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often its the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly, and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.Look for the humor. It often comes from the u

26、nexpected. A twist on a familiar quote “If at first you dont succeed, give up“ or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatements.

30、 Humor to SpeechD.Different Humor Strategies十一、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：5.00)The importance and focus of the interview in the work of the print and broadcast journalist is reflected in several books that have been written on the topic. Most of these books, as well as several chapters, mainly in, but not l

31、imited to, journalism and broadcasting handbooks and reporting texts, stress the “how to“ aspects of journalistic interviewing rather than the, conceptual aspects of the interview, its context, and, implications. Much of the “how to“ material is based on personal experiences and general impressions.

32、 As we know, in journalism as in other fields, much can be learned from the systematic study of professional practice. Such study brings together evidence from which broad generalized principles can be developed.There is, as has been suggested, a growing body of research literature in journalism and

33、 broadcasting, but very little significant attention has been devoted to the study of the interview itself. On the other hand, many general texts as well as numerous research articles on interviewing in fields other than journalism have been written. Many of these books and articles present the theo

34、retical and empirical aspects of the interview as well as the training of the interviewers. Unhappily, this plentiful general literature about interviewing pays little attention to the journalistic interview. The fact that the general literature on interviewing does not deal with the journalistic in

35、terview seems to be surprising for two reasons. First, it seems likely that most people in modern Western societies are more familiar, at least in a positive manner, with journalistic interviewing than with any other form of interviewing. Most of us are probably somewhat familiar with the clinical i

36、nterview, such as that conducted by physicians and psychologists. In these situations the professional person or interviewer is interested in getting information necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of the person seeking help. Another familiar situation is the job interview. However, very few o

37、f us have actually been interviewed personally by the mass media, particularly by television. And yet, we have a vivid acquaintance with the journalistic interview by virtue of our roles as readers, listeners, and viewers. Even so, true understanding of the journalistic interview, especially televis

38、ion interviews, requires thoughtful analysis and even study, as this book indicates.（分数：5.00）(1).The main idea of the first paragraph is that_.（分数：1.00）A.generalized principles for journalistic interviews are the chief concern for writers on journalismB.importance should be attached to the systemati

39、c study of journalistic interviewingC.concepts and contextual implications are of secondary importance to journalistic interviewingD.personal experiences and general impressions should be excluded from journalistic interviews(2).Much research has been done on interviews in general_.（分数：1.00）A.so the

40、 training of journalistic interviewers has likewise been strengthenedB.though the study of the interviewing techniques hasnt received much attentionC.but journalistic interviewing as a specific field has unfortunately been neglectedD.and there has also been a dramatic growth in the study of journali

41、stic interviewing(3).Westerners are familiar with the journalistic interview _.（分数：1.00）A.but most of them wish to stay away from itB.and many of them hope to be interviewed some dayC.and many of them would like to acquire a tree understanding of itD.but most of them may not have been interviewed in

42、 person(4).Who is the interviewee in a clinical interview?（分数：1.00）A.The patient.B.The physician.C.The journalist.D.The psychologist.(5).The passage is most likely a part of_.（分数：1.00）A.a news articleB.a journalistic interviewC.a research reportD.a preface十二、Part B(总题数：1，分数：15.00)61)Back in my early

43、 20s. when “sensible“ wasnt part of my weight-loss vocabulary., I tried a diet that was limited to just a few “healthy“ foods. Three weeks into it, after religiously adhering to a regimen of salads and meats, I had nearly reached my goal of losing 8 pounds. 62) But my progress wasnt as sweet as I ex

44、nected. Instead of celebrating my emerging figure. I was obsessed with what I couldnt eat. Warm, crusty bread. Noodles smothered in red sauce. Chocolates packed with almonds. One night I abandoned the diet and gorged on every food Id been missing. Over the next two weeks, I ate more than ever. No su

45、rprise that I quickly regained 8 pounds, and put on 2 more.63) It sounds like the old diet-binge cycle that weve all heard about so often. But many weight-loss experts are starting to think about that cycle in a new. more positive way. The answer for long-term weight control, they say, may be just t

46、he opposite of restriction: it may simply be eating a greater variety of foods than ever.My brazen (and unfortunate) act of indulgence was the direct effect of a boring, restrictive diet, suggests Kathy Hubbert, coordinator of the EatRight Weight Management program at the University. of Alabama, Bir

47、mingham. “If you tell someone they cannot have, say, a piece of cheesecake, then that is the first thing they want to have,“ says Hubbert. “And then when they eat that piece of cheesecake, they say, Oh, now Ive blown it, so I might as well blow it every day.“At Tufts University in Boston, researcher

48、s studied 71 healthy men and women aged 20 to 80 years who provided detailed reports of everything they ate for six months. 64) People who routinely ate a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains tended to be lean. The researchers found that when people eat a vari

49、ety of desirable foods, especially vegetables, they eat fewer nutrient-poor, calorie-dense foods such as cookies, candy, and chips. Overall, they consume fewer calories without consciously restricting their intake.They are also much more likely to consume the full range of vitamins and minerals they need. 65) Nutrition studies, including one conduc
