（A）
To be a good interviewer you must learn to listen―both to others and to yourself.
“A lot of times we beat ourselves,” says Pat Stith, a Pulitzer-winning investigative reporter for the Raleigh News & Observer. “We don't listen. We don't ask simple questions. We just talk, and we talk, and we talk. We forget why we're there. (We are there to acquire inf ormation.) When we're talking, we're not acquiring anything.”
Effective interviewing is a pillar of good reporting and writing. The ability
to talk comfortably with people and to persuade them to give you information is one
of the reporter's most impotant skills. Yet journalists get little or no training
in this vital aspect of their job. Most learn by painful trial and error.
To help rectify（调整）that situation, this Best Newspaper Writing brown bag is devoted to interviewing skills. Listen to winners and finalists talk about successful interviewing techniques, practise some of these tips, and explore other resources.
“Somebody once wrote that there's no more seductive sentence in the English language than, ‘I want to hear your story,' and maybe they're right,” Albom said in Best Newspaper Writing 1996. “Because often you don't have to do any more than just say that.”
During my reporting career, using a tape recorder taught me my most important lesson of interviewing: to shut up. It was a painful learning experience, having to listen to myself stepping on people's words, cutting them off just as they were getting enthusiastic or appeared about to make a revealing statement. There were far too many times I heard myself asking overly long and leading questions, instead of simply saying, “Why?” or “How did it happen?” or “What do you mean?” and then closing my mouth and letting people answer.
1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to talk with people
B. How to ask questions
C. The experience of a reporter
D. Listening―the important skill of successful interviewing
2. “… there's no more seductive sentence in the English language than, ‘I want to hear your
story,' …” implies .
A. “I want to hear your story” sounds very pleasant to the ears
B. as an interviewer it's important to offer chances to others to talk
C. people are happy to tell you a story if you tell them “I want to hear your story”
D. people are cheated to talk if they hear “I want to hear your story”
3. In the last paragraph the underlined word “It” refers to “”.
A. to shut up when others are talking
B. interviewing some important persons
C. using a tape recorder in an interview
D. having to listen to myself stepping on people's words, cutting them off just as they were
getting enthusiastic or appeared about to make a revealing statement
4. According to the passage it's safe to say .
A. only through special training can a reporter learn the skill of interviewing
B. a reporter should keep his mouth closed and let people talk all the time
C. interviewing plays an important role in reporting and writing
D. any reporter can get useful informati on when he (she) gives an interview to people

She is one of the China's fifty most successful business leaders and she has been described as being “bigger than Oprah”. Well known to one billion viewers, Yang Lan is among China's most popular TV personalities. Born in Beijing in 1968, Yang Lan began her career as the host for the popular “Zheng Da TV show”. She was only 21 at the time and had just graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University. Becoming the host of a show with an audience of 200 million at such a young age was a big challenge, but Yang Lan was ready for it and quickly became popular.

Together with her husband, she started her own media company, Sun Media.
When Yang Lan grew up, TV was a new thing at the time, but Yang Lan thought that the powerful medium could be used in a different way. She wanted to make new sh ows that were both entertaining and educational. When she was studying abroad, she produced a feature show called “Horizon”. The show introduced American popular culture to Chinese viewers. Viewer s liked the first season of “Horizon”, but Yang Lan wanted to do something more serious and meaningful. The following year, she began in interviewing important people, such as Dr Henry Kissinger, and discussing social issues. Her viewers were pleased and the show became even more popular. She later devoted “Yang Lan One on One”, having interviewing more than 300 opinion leaders around the world.

了学习知识或技能而由系列的lesson（一节课，一堂课）或lecture（讲座）所组成的课程。

9. D

10. B
解析：词组用法的考查。

全句的意思是“每个人都不期望被指控有罪”。

其中，look forward to中的to是介词，后面要接名词或动名词，而accuse sb of sth or doing sth在此处要用被
动形式。

11. C

IV. 完形填空
1. B
解析：后面的wedding等词说明他们是“结婚”（get married）。

2. D
解析：这一天来的都是“客人”，包括了亲戚、同事和朋友。

3. A
解析：上段说的是高兴的客人，后面说到亲戚和他们的父母不能接受他们的婚姻，所以不高兴，逻辑上是转折，所以选A。

but不能用逗号隔开。

4. C
解析：因为他们境况不好，父母和亲戚在心里不愿“接受”他们的婚姻。

5. D
解析：经济条件不好，所以“承担”不了蜜月的费用。

6. A
解析：陌生的女人来“恭贺”他们的新婚之喜，并送上了后面的祝愿。

7. C
解析：此处是间接引语，不用here，后面也没有情景交代女人是被命令还是被请求而去；说她是天使，那只是这对夫妇的美好想象。

而且不管怎样，她当时就是到“那里”来祝福新人的。

8. C
解析：既是祝愿，肯定祝愿“美好”。

他们后来儿孙满堂，夫妇恩爱。

他们用这些来证实了女人祝福，而这些也正是生活中美好的东西。

9. B
解析：他们从不知道（后来也还是不知道）那个女人的任何事情，所以当他们意识到要问一下时，那个女人很快“消失不见”了。

正因如此，他们后来一直念念不忘这个神秘的陌生女人，而且对她的身份有各种猜想。

10. D
解析：最能勾起他们对新婚那天回忆的日子肯定就是每年的“结婚纪念日”。

11. B
解析：此处指“回想起”那天的情形。

12. A
解析：他们自始至终对那个女人一无所知，所以只能是“陌生”而且神秘。

13. B
解析：妻子认为那个女人是天国里来完成使命的信使，but说明他们意见不一致，而丈夫觉得她只是“碰巧”到了他们的那个教堂，并非有意。

14. D
解析：上文有on some heavenly mission，可见妻子认为她来自“天国”，而丈夫认为她来
自邻镇。

15. B
解析：岁月已经远去，那个女人是谁已经不重要了，“而重要的是”她为他们带来了美好的祝愿，而他们用一生证实了这个祝愿是正确的，所以即便是她又老又矮又胖，但她还是他们的天使。

V. 阅读理解，根据短文内容选择最佳答案
1. D
解析：文章第一句是全文的中心句，全文都在围绕这个中心阐述，所以选D。

2. B
解析：根据句义只有B符合题意，其他选项都与句义无关。

3. D
解析：这里it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面提到的那些惨痛的经历，所以选D。

4. C
解析：此题可通过排除法完成。

由第三段可知选项A的说法过于绝对，所以不符合题意；由最后一段可知选项B的表述也不正确；全文都在讲采访的重要性，由第三段第一句可
知选项C是正确的；根据全文的意思可以得出选项D表述是不正确的。

故选C。

5. B
解析：第一段第一句讲到了杨澜的知名度，所以选项B是正确的。

6. A
解析：根据文章讲到的这些事件的顺序，选项A是正确的。

7. D
解析：细节题。

由第三段第二句可知是集娱乐性和教育性为一体的节目。

8. C
解析：本文客观地介绍了杨澜的事业进程，所以选项C作为标题更加合适。

选项A，B
和C都属于同一类题目，以这些题目写的文章就应该着重讲述她是如何成功的以及她的
重要影响，与本文风格不符。
