Now, with our environment arguably under greater threat than ever and species declining at a(n) _(34)_ rate, volunteers are once again at the forefront of efforts to limit the damage.Volunteers and enthusiasts can be powerful drivers

27、for big changes. On the Isle of Man, more than 8,000 people (nearly 10% of the population) are involved in regular weekend beach cleans. At one recent event, 123 volunteers turned up and removed 183 bags of litter in just a couple of hours. Thanks to _(35)_ such as this, the island shares Unesco bio

They monitor the spread of _(36)_ species, and record how native species respond. Divers also _(37)_ levels of marine litt

29、er and other human impacts. Volunteer divers have played an important role in collecting information about marine conservation zones. V olunteers have also made a vital contribution to the conservation of basking sharks. The work of a citizen science Basking Shark Project in the 1980s and 90s was _(

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Deliberate practice refers to a special typ

33、e of practice that is purposeful and systematic. _(41)_ regular practice might include mindless repetitions, deliberate practice requires focused attention and is conducted with the specific goal of improving _(42)The greatest _(43)_ of deliberate practice is to remain focused. In the beginning, sho

34、wing up is the most important thing. But after a while we begin to carelessly _(44)_ small errors and miss daily opportunities for improvement. This is because the natural tendency of the human brain is to _(45)_ repeated behaviors into automatic habits. _(46)_, when you first learned to tie your sh

36、again is that progress becomes _(49)_. Too often, we think we are getting better simply because we are gaining experience. In _(50)_, we are merely reinforcing (力口強(qiáng))our current habits not improving them.Claiming that improvement requires attention and effort sounds logical enough. But what does deli

This holds true for the number of pages we read, the number of pushups we do, the number of sales calls we make, and any other task that is important to us. It is only through measurement that we have

38、 any _(52)_ of whether we are getting better or worse.The second effective feedback system is coaching. One consistent finding across disciplines is that coaches are often essential for _(53)_ deliberate practice. In many cases, it is nearly impossible to both perform a task and measure your progres

39、s at the same time. Good coaches can track your progress, find small ways to improve, and hold you _(54)_ to delivering your best effort each day.Deliberate practice is not a comfortable activity. It requires sustained effort and concentration, but if you can manage to maintain your focus and (55),

43、 three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Have you ever had the experience of talking to

44、someone and you think they are lying? Well, you are not alone. We' ve allhad that feeling. But did you know that there are several things you can look for to see if you are being lied to?Sometimes you can tell if a person is lying by observing what they do with their body. When people are lying

45、they tendnot to move their arms, hands or legs very far from their body. They don' t want to take upvery much space because they don ' t want to be noticed. Sometimes a person who is lying will not look you in the eyes. Other times people who lie try to look at you in a strong way because th

46、ey want to convince you they are telling the truth.Liars also use deflection . For example, if you ask a liar the question “ Didyou steal Fatima ' s bag? " , they may answer with something like“ Fditimayswnyldriendo that? ” In this situation the person is telling the truth, but they are als

47、o not answering the question. They are trying to deflect your attention. Liars may also give too many details. They may try to over-explain things. They do this because they want to convince you of what they are saying.Often when a person is lying, they do not want to continue talking about their li

48、e. If you think someone is lying, quickly change the subject. If the person is lying, they will appear more comfortable because they are not talking about their lie any longer. A little later, change the subject back to what you were talking about before. If the person seems uncomfortable again, the

49、y may be lying.It ' s very hard for a liar to avoid filling silence created by you. He or she wants you to believe the lies being woven; silence gives no feedback on whether or not you' ve boughtthe story. If you ' re a good listener, you ' ll already be avoiding interruptions, which

50、 in itself is a great technique to let the story unfold.Just because a person is showing these behaviors, it does not mean they are lying. They might be shy or nervous. But, if you think someone is lying, you might want to use some of these techniques. Hopefully, you won' t need to very often.56

51、. By saying l_iars also use deflection ” , the writer means thatiars mayA. tell great storiesB. change tone of voiceC. ask a question in replyD. avoid direct answers57. According to the passage, a person could be lying if he or she.A. offers more information than necessaryB. appears to be shy or ner

52、vousC. changes the subject of the conversationD. speaks very fast and vaguely58. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. Liars always try to avoid direct eye contact when they tell lies.B. We can make people lie by changing the subject in a conversation.C. Liars are often expansive

53、 in hand and arm movements while talking.D. We make liars uncomfortable by giving no feedback in a conversation.59.

54、k for an e-commerce Website. If one of our merchandisers has a question or wants to make a correction, they e-mail the entire department. In my opinion, this is rude and unnecessary. It seems to me that mass e-mail is appropriate for good or neutral news, rather than making a correction. Do you agre

55、e? Moreover, if you were the recipient of the correction, how would you respond?The only people who should be included in an e-mail are those who need to know or respond. Including everyone is rude and unprofessional as well as annoying to recipients. It don' t have enough in our inbox already.

56、I don-m atl ais only for good or neutral news, however. Sometimes you need to alert people or create a record of bad news. But no one should use e-mail to blame other people. If you ' ve got a problem with someone, pick up the phone or take it outside (for a coffee, not a fist fight geez)As for

57、how to respond, e-mail is usually ineffective for resolving conflict. Have a conversation with the sender and explain why his or her approach isn 'the best and what you recommend.Letter 2January 14, 2018 | 9:24 pm It ' s the start of a new year and I believe it' s time for a change. What

58、explain to a prospective employer that you are in need of something new without seeming flighty and without complaining about your current employer?The new year is as good a time as any to take stock, but not the only reason for making a change. At least, that ' s not what you com itounprotspective employer. Your reason for looking for a new job is less important to your new employer than why you want to work there.
