21、What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority (优先) over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade.
In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail — other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merit of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.
Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical (合乎道义的) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or get our vulnerability(脆弱之处). Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution (美国宪法).
【1】 According to the passage, persuasion means ______.
A. changing others’ points of view
B. exercising power over other people
C. getting other people to consider your point of view
D. getting people to agree with you and do what you want
【2】 The underlined word in the second paragraph “prevail” means ______.
A. win B. fail C. speak D. listen
【3】The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ______.
A. a danger to society B. difficult to do well
C. unwelcome behavior D. never successful
【4】The passage mainly discusses ______.
A. that people persuade to get what they want
B. that people persuade in different ways
C. that persuasion is widely accepted and appreciated
D. that persuasion is important and it is all around us
22、C
My father was, by nature, a cheerful, kindly man．Until he was thirty-four years old he worked as a farm-hand for Thomas Butterworth near the town of Bidwell, Ohio．On Saturday evenings he drove his horse into town to spend a few hours in social intercourse with other farm-hands．He was quite happy in his position in life．
It was in his thirty-fifth year that father married my mother, a school teacher．Something happened to the two people．The American passion for getting up in the world took possession of them．Mother induced father to give up his place as a farm-hand, sell his horse and start an independent enterprise of his own．They rented ten acres of poor stony land and launched into chicken raising．
One inexperienced in such matters can have no idea of the many and tragic things that can happen to a chicken．It is born out of an egg, lives for a few weeks as a tiny fluffy thing, then becomes naked, gets diseases, and dies．A few hens, and now and then a rooster, intended to serve God’s mysterious ends, struggle through to maturity．The hens lay eggs out of which come other chickens and the awful cycle is thus made complete．It is all unbelievably complex．Most philosophers must have been raised on chicken farms．One hopes for so much from a chicken and is so awfully disappointed．Small chickens, look so bright and in fact so awfully stupid．They are so much like people they mix one up in one’s judgments of life．If disease does not kill them they wait until your expectations are thoroughly aroused and then walk under the wheels of a carriage．
In later life I have seen how a literature has been built up on the subject of fortunes to be made out of the raising of chickens．It is intended to be read by the gods who have just eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil．It is a hopeful literature and declares that much may be done by simple ambitious people who own a few hens．Do not be misguided by it．It was not written for you．Go hunt for gold on the frozen hills of Alaska, put your faith in the honesty of a politician, believe if you will that good will defeat evil, but do not read and believe the literature that is written concerning the hen．
For ten years my father and mother struggled to make our chicken farm pay and then they gave up that struggle and began another．They moved into the town of Bidwell, Ohio and began the restaurant business, with the tiny hope of looking for a new place from which to start on our upward journey through life．
【1】Which of the following is the right order of what happened?
a．Father got married to Mother, a school teacher．
b．Father quitted working at Butterworth’s．
c．My parents launched a business in Bidwell．
d．Father socialized in town on Saturday evenings

A．d-a-b-e-c
B．d-a-c-b-e
C．d-b-a-e-c
D．d-b-a-c-e
【2】By saying “Most philosophers must have been raised on chicken farms”, the author means that chicken farming _____．
A．is so complex that only philosophers can comprehend it
B．gives you a philosophical insight into life
C．exposes you to a complete circle of life
D．allows you the time to judge the life
【3】In the author’s opinion, the literature about chicken raising _____．
A．is full of hope and positive energy
B．proves the victory of good over evil
C．persuades you to believe in politicians

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards parents’ dream of rise to success?
A．approving
B．optimistic
C．skeptical
D．indifferent
23、In 1997, the Hungarian biochemist Katalin Kariko met another struggling researcher, the American immunologist Drew Weissman, as they queued to copy scientific papers at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). Due to the lack of funding for their work, the two scientists found a common scientific interest and decided to cooperate. Then they jointly won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. But while both scientists endured years of professional struggle on the way to the huge approval, Kariko had to overcome greater difficulties than Weissman.
Kariko worked in a few different research jobs before landing a junior position at the University of Pennsylvania. And for many years her career at the UPenn was fragile. She migrated from lab to lab, relying on one senior scientist after another to take her in. She never made more than $60,000 a year. She struggled to raise the funding essential for a scientific career and never had a stable position. Kariko said she endured being made fun of by university colleagues for her dogged pursuit. In 2013, she was kicked out from UPenn — forced to retire. She said in an interview that the university told her that she was unfit for her work. Yet the scientist’s commitment to her work did not falter. “When I was terminated (终止), I didn’t feel sorry for myself,” she said. “I have to focus all the energy on seeking out what’s next.”
In a news conference held at UPenn, she encouraged young scientists to love learning to solve problems and to be prepared for failure. Researchers in her field are full of admiration for her generosity and persistence. “She is really the soul of perseverance and what it takes to be a great researcher,” Elliot Barnathan, a cardiologist who hired Kariko, said.
【1】What was the difficulty that Kariko faced at the UPenn?
A．Little support.
B．Being laughed at.
C．Working in different jobs.
D．Migrating from place to place.
【2】What does the underlined word “falter” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Weaken.
B．Quit.
C．Fail.
D．Insist.
【3】How did Kariko respond to her termination from UPenn?
A．She retired from her scientific work.
B．She sought revenge against the university.
C．She focused on finding new opportunities.
D．She became discouraged by the challenges.
【4】Why does the author write the text?
A．To tell Kariko’s story.
B．To show Kariko’s hardship.
C．To list Kariko’s achievements.
D．To highlight Kariko’s persistence.
24、If you want to know more about paintings which are famous worldwide, here are four you can’t miss.
The Kiss
Artist: Gustav Klimt
Estimated date:1907 to 1908
From Klimt’s work, Byzantine artistic influences can be seen in the highly decorative robes (长袍) worn by the passionate, life-sized couple. The museum says that with The Kiss, Klimt makes a unique statement about love being at the heart of human existence.
Guernica
Artist: Pablo Picasso
Date: 1937
This is the most recent painting on this list, and it shows the German bombing of the town of Guernica in the Basque region during the Spanish Civil War. The painting has that distinctive Picasso style, and its serious examination of the horrors of war made it an essential part of the 20th century culture and history.
The Birth of Venus
Artist: Sandro Botticelli
Estimated date:1485
It was probably created by a member of the wealthy and art-loving Medici family, which ruled Florence and nearby areas for centuries. Marrying a renewed interest in classic Greek culture with Early Renaissance style,Botticelli creates an unforgettable figure with the Goddess of Love emerging from a huge seashell.
Girl With a Pearl Earring
Artist:Johannes Vermeer
Estimated date:1665
This fantastic favorite often gets compared with the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. Besides the stylistic differences，technically Girl With a Pearl Earring isn’t even a portrait(肖像)，but a“tronie”—a Dutch word for a painting of an imaginary figure with impressive features. The oil on the masterpiece is brilliant in its simplicity. The girl—wearing a blue and gold turban(头巾)and an oversized pearl earring—is the entire focus with only a dark backdrop behind her.
【1】Who is the creator of The Kiss?
A．Leonardo da Vinci.
B．Sandro Botticelli.
C．Johannes Vermeer.
D．Gustav Klimt.
【2】What is the painting by Pablo Picasso about?
