28、omers are not being satisfied.C. Work is not being produced fast enough.D.

If w

29、e recognize and try to conquer them, we can step up our listening ability by about twenty-five percent and thereby greatly increase our chances for success in our daily lives.Unless you are very unusual indeed, says Dr. Nichols, you must plead guilty to several of the following bad listening habits:

30、Shut-Ear Listening: Maybe you feel you already know what the speaker is going to say. Or his subject couldnt interest you less. You turn off your cars-and who knows what you may be missing or when a little knowledge on that subject may come in mighty handy? Anyway, why take the risk?Over-My-Head Lis

31、tening: You are convinced that the subject is beyond you, so you depart, at least in spirit. You may be right. And then again you may be wrong. If you let the words enter your mind, you may be surprised to discover that they make sense. But even if they are as strange as Greek to you, you should try

32、 to listen and understand. Otherwise you may find some day that you must attempt to grasp an over-your-head idea and be totally unable even to try.Memory Test Listening: Some people think that trying to memorize a series of facts is good listening. They are wrong. For instance, you are getting a sto

33、ry for your school paper on an assembly speaker. He makes a series of points. You try to memorize them. But while you are busy planting facts A, B, and C in your mind, repeating them over and over, you are losing out on facts D and E. Better to look for main ideas. You will find them more 2012 中石油职称

34、英语试卷 校对版Page 5useful and easier to recall later.Take-It-All-Down Listening: When you try to get too many of the speakers words on paper, part of your mind must be concerned with your note-taking. You are unable to concentrate fully on what he is saying. You risk losing valuable points. Where note-ta

35、king is necessary-and you may be surprised to find out how often it isnt if you concentrate fully on listening-try to jot down only a memory-jogging word or two. Or put the main ideas on paper after the speaker has finished. The more complete attention you give the speaker, the easier it will be to

36、recall his ideas later.Personality Listening: You become so concerned with the way the speaker looks or how he talks that what he says fails to penetrate. Perhaps unconsciously you decide that a person who dresses or speaks like that cant have much to say. That could be a very false conclusion. Who

37、knows what you may be missing? Its the old story: you cant judge a gift by the package. Better to judge him after you have heard him out.So there are the forces-some within ourselves, some outside-that work against us in our efforts to listen. But once we learn what they are and how to fight them, w

38、e are well on our way to getting rid of wasteful listening habits.45. The author suggests that it is a serious mistake _.A. to look away from the speaker B. to do anything physical while listening C. to ignore a speaker whose subject seems to be beyond youD. to stop listening when the speakers voice

41、hopelessC. normalD. a difficult caseQuestions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage:Only one generation ago, Mauritanias capital city was many days walk from the Sahara. Today it is in the Sahara. The sand blows through the city streets and piles up against walls and fences. The desert stretch

42、es out as far as the eye can see.In some parts of the Amazon rain forest in Brazil, all the trees have been cut down. The earth lies bare and dry in the hot sun. Nothing grows there anymore.Over vast areas of every continent, the rainfall and vegetation necessary for life are disappearing. Already m

43、ore than 40 percent of the earths land is desert or desert-like. About 628 million people-one out of seven-live in these dry regions.2012 中石油职称英语试卷 校对版Page 6In the past, they have managed to survive, but with difficulty. Now, largely through problems caused by modem life, their existence is threaten

44、ed by the slow, steady spread of the earths deserts.Many countries are experiencing similar problems. Poor land is farmed until it is worn out, and trees are cut for firewood, leaving the soil unprotected against wind and rain. In Peru, Chile, and Brazil, some areas that once were covered with forests now look like the moon. In India, some land has been so badly damaged by farming and tree cu
