Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
An English schoolboy would only ask his friend: "Wassa time, then？" To his teacher he would be much more likely to speak in a more standardized accent and ask: "Excuse me, sir, may I have the correct time please？" People are generally aware that the phrases and expressions they use are different from those of earlier generations; but they concede less that their own behavior. also varies according to the situation in which they find themselves.
Not only this, but in many cases, the way someone speak affects the response of the person to whom he is speaking in such a way that "modeling" is seen to occur. This is what Michael Argyle has called "response matching". Several studies have shown that the more one reveals about oneself in ordinary conversation, and the more intimate these details are, the more personal secrets the other person will let out.
Response matching has, in fact, been noted between two speakers in a number of ways, including how long someone speaks, the length of pauses, speech rate and voice loudness. The correspondence between the length of reporters' questions when interviewing President Bush, and the length of his replies has been shown to increase over the duration of his 2005-2007 news conferences. Argyle says this process may be one of imitation. Two American researchers, Jaffe and Feldstein, prefer to think of it as the speaker's need for balance. Neither of these explanations seems particularly convincing. It may be that response matching can be more profitably considered as an unconscious reflection of speakers' needs for social integration with one another.
This process of modeling the other person's speech in a conversation could also be termed speech convergence (聚合). It may only be one aspect of a much wider speech change. In other situations, speech divergence (分离) may occur when certain factors encourage a person to modify his speech away from the individual he is dealing with. For example, a retried general's wife, renowned for her continuous snobbishness (势力), may return her vehicle to the local garage because of inadequate servicing, voicing her complaint in elaborately phrased, yet mechanically unsophisticated language, with a high soft-pitched voice. These superior airs and graces may simply make the mechanic, reply with a flourish of almost incomprehensible technical terms, and in a louder, more deeply lowered voice than he would have used with a less angry customer.
The example of the English schoolboy was used to show that ______.
According to the author, the correspondence between tile lengths of reporter's questions and Bush's answers increased because speakers ______.
If the sun has enough【C1】______to warm and light the whole earth, it must have enough power to do other things,【C2】______. Can we use the sun's【C3】______energy to supply electricity, or at least to perform. the function which electricity or other types of power usually perform？ The answer is【C4】______.
For example, people have for many years been using the【C5】______heat of the sun to cook by solar【C6】______which have been built with several incurred【C7】______reflecting the sun and focusing the heat on the cooking element. This【C8】______can be used like a gas or electric stove; it is more expensive to make but it doesn't need any【C9】______and so costs【C10】______to use. Another【C11】______of using solar energy is in house heating.
The【C12】______of energy we use most is electricity, and every day more is【C13】______. But electricity has to be made too, and to make it huge quantities of fuel is required -- oil, coal, gas and nowadays even uranium.
The question which【C14】______everyone today is: how long will these fuels【C15】______？ Nobody knows it for sure,【C16】______most experts think it will soon be difficult to obtain sufficient electricity from these sources. It is possible that the sun can make a(n)【C17】______here, too.
Solar power has already been used to produce【C18】______heat. In Southern France a solar furnace has been built,【C19】______temperatures reach more than 3 000 centigrade. This furnace is not only used for experiment【C20】______, but could be used to produce steam for a power station.
