According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.‎ Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.‎ Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience's 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.‎ 9‎ ‎ 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 commercial 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. To advise somebody to support you.‎ B. To help someone have special skill C. To convince somebody to realize his aim.‎ D. To talk someone into being honest.‎ ‎2.What is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience to trust him?‎ A. Pathos. B. Ethos. ‎ C. Logos. D. Education.‎ ‎3.What do a politician and an animal charity have in common?‎ A. Both prevent themselves from being hurt.‎ B. Both save people from terrible wars.‎ C. Both make the audience support them.‎ D. Both persuade people to donate money.‎ ‎4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Convince the Audience B. Three Basic Tools of Persuasion C. Believe Me D. 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 accomplish.”可知，说服是为了建议人们支持你。故选A。‎ 9‎ ‎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 a terrible 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。‎ B ‎(2018·湖北武汉调研测试)‎ Elon Musk was born in South Africa, in 1971. A crazy fan of computers, by the age of twelve, Musk had written the code(代码) for his own video game, which he sold for a profit.‎ He attended Queen’s University in Canada, and transferred(转到) to the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned two bachelor’s degrees, economics and physics. He was admitted to Stanford University in California, intending to earn a PhD in energy physics.‎ First Company—Zip2 Corporation In 1995, at the age of 24, Musk dropped out of Stanford‎ ‎University after just two days of classes to start his first company Zip2 Corporation. It was an online ‎ 9‎ city guide that provided content for the new online versions of The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune newspapers. In 1999, Musk got $ 22 million from the sale of Zip2.‎ Online Banking In 1999, Elon Musk started X．com with $ 10 million dollars from the sale of Zip2. X. com was an online bank, and he was credited with inventing a method of securely transferring money using a receiver’s email address.‎ PayPal In 2000, X. com bought a company called Confinity, which had started an Internet moneytransfer process called PayPal. Elon Musk dropped the online banking focus to concentrate on becoming a global payment transfer provider. In 2002, eBay bought PayPal for $ 1.5 billion.‎ Space Exploration Technologies In 2002, Elon Musk started SpaceX. He is a longstanding member of the Mars Society, a nonprofit organization that supports the exploration of Mars, and Musk is interested in building a greenhouse on Mars.

B．Confinity.‎ C．PayPal. D．eBay.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据PayPal部分，尤其是该部分的第二句可知，PayPal提供国际转账支付服务，故C项正确。‎ ‎3．What has SpaceX been doing to help achieve Musk’s project?‎ A．Sponsoring the Mars Society.‎ B．Developing rocket technologies.‎ C．Building a greenhouse on Mars.‎ D．Supporting the exploration of Mars.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据Space Exploration Technologies部分的“SpaceX has been developing rocket technologies to enable Musk’s project.”可知，SpaceX一直在研究开发火箭技术，帮助Musk实现他的项目(目标)，故B项正确。‎ ‎4．What is Tesla Motors noted for?‎ A．Its electric vehicles.‎ B．Its photovoltaic products.‎ C．Its service as a city tourist guide.‎ D．Its business with other companies.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据Tesla Motors部分，尤其是该部分的第二句可知，Tesla Motors是生产电动汽车的公司，故A项正确。‎ 三、书面表达。‎ 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。‎ Some experts argue the fact that almost one in four teens is constantly online is a dangerous thing, yet I believe that it’s an opportunity. Technology brings us closer together and can help us in everyday life rather than replacing friends with screens.‎ First, I believe that technology takes the embarrassment out of face-to-face contact, as talking to someone may make you uncomfortable. You could not say what is on your 9‎ ‎ mind. A much simpler way of communicating is through texts. By texting a person, there is no resistance(抵抗) to what you are trying to say. You are able to revise your words before you send them, hopefully not saying something you will later regret or that could hurt someone’s feelings. Apart from making friends face-to-face, there are other ways of interaction using technology. Technology can help bond people together by showing similar interests.‎ Second, technology can help friends and family keep in touch. When moments together are not within reach, the next best thing is to use technology to catch up on each other’s life and share precious moments through videos and calls. The ability to play back a memory on a screen is amazing, something that can be cherished and kept forever.‎ Some may argue technology is the problem in the world, but I do not. I believe that technology helps you escape the evil and pressure in the world and has the ability to let you create your own world where what others say or think doesn’t matter. After a stressful time, technology is there to help you communicate and remind you what you should be grateful for, or just make your day a little better.‎ In conclusion, I believe that not only is technology not replacing friends with screens but it’s actually bringing us closer together and establishing relationships among teens. Overall, I believe this topic makes the world a better place by making it easier to create friends, and make otherwise lost friends keep in touch.‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 9‎ ‎【内容概要】‎ Paragraph 1：尽管一些专家认为将近四分之一的青少年经常上网是一件令人担忧的事情，但我认为它是一个机会。科技能使我们更加亲近彼此，有助于我们的日常生活。‎ Paragraph 2：科技可以帮助人们避免面对面交流时会遇到的尴尬，因为与他人交谈可能会使人们感到不自在。‎ Paragraph 3：科技可以帮助朋友和家人保持联系，使人们了解彼此的生活，通过视频和电话分享生活中的珍贵时刻，珍藏美好回忆。‎ Paragraph 4：科技能帮助人们避开不好的事情和压力，让人们创造属于自己的世界，帮助人们进行交流，提醒人们懂得感恩。‎ Paragraph 5：总之，科技不仅不会用屏幕来取代朋友，而且能拉近人和人之间的距离，帮助青少年建立友谊，挽回失去的朋友，以让世界变得更美好。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 9‎
