　　【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了源自于古希腊且一直沿用至今的说服他人的艺术，其中包括ethos、pathos、logos三种方式以及用这三种方式说服他人在各个领域应用的可能性。

1.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话"Persuasion is to convince someone to agree with you, just like art which also calls for special techniques to accomplish."可知，说服是为了建议人们支持你。故选A。

3.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第二句"For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a

terrible war."和最后一句"Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats to make the viewers feel pity, so they will be more likely to donate money."可知，政治家可能会说他会独自一人从可拍的战争中挽救一个国家为了说服观众为他投票，动物慈善机构向观众展示受伤的猫或者狗的图片是为了让观众感到可怜，更可能捐款。因此可知，政治家和慈善机构的共同之处是他们都想让听众支持他们。故选C。

4.B 【解析】标题判断题。纵观全文可知，文章主要介绍了说服人的艺术，包括ethos、pathos、logos三中不同的方式，以及这三种方式在各个领域应用的可能性。因此推断B项"说服的三种基本方式"为最佳标题，概况了文章中心主旨。故选B。
