Some researchers assert that in face-to-face communication,about 70%of information is communicated through speaking,and over 30% sis sent by nonverbal means.

Communication is the sending of information or news from one person to another. If human beings could not communicate with one another, each person would have to learn everything for himself. Although animals as well as men can communicate, so far as we know, they can express only the simple emotions like pain, joy, fear, hunger, anger and love. Some animals have a more advanced form. of language using sounds, and others use a wide range of sounds and face movements, but we still have much to learn about these animal languages.

Speech is the most important means of communication between people. But it is not the only one. Nor is it the oldest. We use facial expressions, gestures and hand movements to express our feelings and to send signals to other people. Animals use this "body language" a great deal. The sign language used by deaf people is an example of communication without speech,while blind people communicate largely through touch and hearing.

According to the passage, what would happen to us without communication?

A．We should learn everything for ourselves.

B．We would become unable to speak.

C．We couldn't live happily.

D．We might have to do everything by ourselves.

The writer prefers face-to-face communication because of the following reasons EXCEPT______.

A．face-to-face communication is more immediate and you can judge the speaker's attitude and emotions

B．you can talk to many people at the same time in a face-to-face communication

C．nonverbal language conveys more meaning than verval language in a communication

D．you can get emotional satisfaction by having physical contact with the person you are talking to in a face-to-face communication

听力原文： Not long ago, some of you may have read about a team of mountain-climbing scientists who helped to recalculate the elevation of the highest mountain in the world: Mr. Everest. Of course, the elevation of Mt. Everest was determined many years ago, using traditional surveying methods. But these scientists wanted to make a more precise measurement using a new method that takes advantage of recent advances in technology. It's called the Global Positioning System. The Global Positioning System uses 24 satellites that circle the Earth. Each of these satellites is constantly sending out signals. And each signal contains important information that can be used to determine the longitude, latitude, and elevation of any point on the Earth's surface. Well, in order to use this system to calculate Mt. Everest's elevation, scientists needed to put a special receiver on its summit to receive signals from the satellites. The problem with this was that, in the past, the receivers were much too heavy for climbers to carry. But now these receivers have been reduced to about the size and weight of a hand-held telephone, so climbers were able to take a receiver to the top of Everest and, from there, to access the satellite system signals that would allow them to determine the precise elevation. And it turns out that the famous peak is actually a few feet higher than was previously thought.

Q. 23. What is the talk mainly about?

Q. 24.Why does the speak mention a hand-held telephone?

Q. 25.According to the talk, what probably contributed most to the success of the new study of Mount Everest?

Q. 26.In the study described, how were satellites' signals used?

(43)

A．The advantages of traditional surveying methods.

B．Using satellites to communicate with mountain climbers.

C．Obtaining new information about a mountain.

D．Controlling satellites from the top of a mountain.
