Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40points) Text 1If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you mustknow how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor mustbe relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you areone of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, theproblems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers,you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries;alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to commenton their disorganized bosses.Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses convention, of a storywhich works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors.A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He seeswonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on.Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line 徽学长研究生公益服务团队 微信公众号：AK-509 百度贴吧：徽学长 微信扫一扫，考研资讯、考研答疑、考研资料 for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a whitecoat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps overto a table by himself. “Who is that?” the new arrival asked St. Peter.“Oh, thats God,” came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks hes adoctor.”If you are part of the group, which you are addressing, you will bein a position to know the experiences and problems which are common toall of you and itll be appropriate for you to make a passing remarkabout the inedible canteen food or the chairmans notorious bad tastein ties. With other audiences you mustnt attempt to cut in with humoras they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks about theircanteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick toscapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuffremarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Oftenits the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowlyand remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help toshow that you are making a light-hearted remark.Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist ona familiar quote “If at first you dont succeed, give up” or a playon words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatements.Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you canturn about and inject with humor.41. To make your humor work, you should _.A take advantage of different kinds of audienceB make fun of the disorganized people C address different problems to different peopleD show sympathy for your listeners42. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are_.A impolite to new arrivalsB very conscious of their godlike roleC entitled to some privilegesD very busy even during lunch hours 徽学长研究生公益服务团队 微信公众号：AK-509 百度贴吧：徽学长 微信扫一扫，考研资讯、考研答疑、考研资料 43. It can be inferred from the text that public services _.A have benefited many peopleB are the focus of public attentionC are an inappropriate subject for humorD have often been the laughing stock44. To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered_.A in well-worded languageB as awkwardly as possibleC in exaggerated statementsD as casually as possible 45. The best title for the text may be _.A Use Humor EffectivelyB Various Kinds of HumorC Add Humor to SpeechD Different Humor StrategiesText 2Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever morecunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome,or just plain nasty. That compulsion has resulted in robotics - thescience of conferring various human capabilities on machines. And ifscientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction,they have begun to come close. As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated byintelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universalexistence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythmof robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminalsthat thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subwaytrains are controlled by tireless robot-drivers. And thanks to thecontinual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics, there arealready robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bonesurgery with submillimeter accuracy - far greater precision than highlyskilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone. 徽学长研究生公益服务团队 微信公众号：AK-509 百度贴吧：徽学长 微信扫一扫，考研资讯、考研答疑、考研资料 But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility,they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to makeat least a few decisions for themselves - goals that pose a realchallenge. “While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error,”says Dave Lavery, manager of a robotics program at NASA, “we cant yetgive a robot enough common sense to reliably interact with a dynamicworld.”Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced verymixed results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970swhen it appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might beable to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010, researcherslately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the humanbrains roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented - and human perception far more complicated - than previously imagined.They have built robots that can recognize the error of a machine panelby a fraction of a millimeter in a controlled factory environment. Butthe human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediatelydisregard the 98 percent that is irrelevant, instantaneously focusingon themonkey atthe side of a windingforest road or the single suspiciousface in a big crowd. The most advanced computer systems on Earth cantapproach that kind of ability, and neuroscientists still dont knowquite how we do it.46. Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in
