Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors一、阅读理解。Persuasion is to convince someone to agree with you, just like art which also calls for special techniques to acplish. 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 mon way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education 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 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 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 their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a mercial 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.1.What is the purpose of persuasion?A.

Strength of Persuasion【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了源自于古希腊且一直沿用至今的说服他人的艺术，其中包括ethos、pathos、logos三种方式以及用这三种方式说服他人在各个领域应用的可能性。1.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“Persuasion is to convince someone to agree with you, just like art which also calls for special techniques to acplish.”可知，说服是为了建议人们支持你。故选A。3.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from aterrible war.”和最后一句“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 donate money.”可知，政治家可能会说他会独自一人从可拍的战争中挽救一个国家为了说服观众为他投票，动物慈善机构向观众展示受伤的猫或者狗的图片是为了让观众感到可怜，更可能捐款。因此可知，政治家和慈善机构的共同之处是他们都想让听众支持他们。故选C。4.B 【解析】标题判断题。纵观全文可知，文章主要介绍了说服人的艺术，包括ethos、pathos、logos三中不同的方式，以及这三种方式在各个领域应用的可能性。因此推断B项“说服的三种基本方式”为最佳标题，概况了文章中心主旨。故选B。二、单句语法填空。1They _(interrupt) by a sudden and urgent knock at the door.答案：were interrupted表示过去发生的动作，且主语they与interrupt之间为被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，填were interrupted。2We have no alternative but _(sell) our house to pay the debt.答案：to sellhave no alternative but to do . “除之外别无选择，只能做”。3It is generally _(assume) that stress is caused by too much work.答案：assumedIt is assumed that . “普遍认为”。4We should bear in mind that teamwork is of great _ (significant) to both our society and ourselves.答案：significanceof great significancevery significant “意义重大/非常重要”。5Once _(arrest), he was likely to betray everything to the police.答案：arrestedarrest与其逻辑主语he之间为被动关系，故用过去分词在句中作状语。6If only I _ (look) ahead a few days ago! Then I wouldnt have been feeling so worried now.答案：had looked由语境和句子结构可判断if only后应用虚拟语气；由时间状语a few days ago 可知表示与过去事实相反，故应填had looked。look ahead “向前看；为将来打算”。7This is a historic building _(date) back to the 17th century.答案：datingdate back todate from表示“追溯到”，无进行时，无被动语态，句中已有谓语动词is，且building和date back to存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故应填现在分词dating作后置定语。8I am fed up _this weather; its time we had some sunshine.答案：withbe fed up with “受够了；厌烦”。9Sometimes we went ahead and did it, regardless _the consequences.答案：ofregardless of “不管；不顾”。10While working out the problem, you should pay more attention to the _(accurate)答案：accuracy由空格前的冠词the可知，此处填名词形式。三、完形填空。It impressed me a lot.I never thought that little help will _1_ out to be the most satisfying thing I have ever done.He was tired，and _2_ to climb

One of the biggest problems are pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It killed our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us to talk louder and bee angry more easy. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution, what is bad for living things in the world. We need to do a lot of thing to fight pollution. Factories must clean our waste water before it thrown away. We cant throw waste things on the ground. We can go to work by bus and with our friends in a same car. Everybody must help to fight pollution.【答案】Our life today has many problems. One of the biggest problems ar pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kille our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and bee angry more eas. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution, wha is bad for living things in the world. We need to do a lot of thin to fight pollution. Factories must clean ou waste water before it thrown away. We cant throw waste things on the ground. We can go to work by bus an with our friends in same car. Everybody must help to fight pollution.第一处：are改为is。考查主谓一致。主语one of the biggest problems是单数，谓语动词用单数。第二处：killed改为kills。考查动词时态。由and和pollutes可知，应用一般现在时态，因此用kills。第三处：to去掉。考查非谓语动词。make作使役动词时，后接省略to的不定式作宾补。第四处：easy改为easily。考查副词。副词修饰系动词bee。第五处：what改为which。考查定语从句。这是一个非限制性定语从句，从句缺主语，which指代前面的air pollution。第六处：thing改为things。考查名词。a lot of在这里修饰可数名词，故用thing的复数形式。第七处：our改为their/the。考查代词。本句Factories must clean.中主语的是第三人称，所以water也应改被their修饰。同时，the waste water也可以指工厂的废水。第八处：thrown前加is。考查被动语态。废水与排放是被动关系，故用被动词态。第九处：and改为or。考查连词。本句讲的是我们上班可以选用两种方式中的一种，所以用or表选择关系，而and表示两者都使用，不合理。第十处：a改为the。考查冠词。同一辆车，用the same car。
