专题04 社会服务与人际沟通（原卷版） 【材料来源：The New York Times Oct 19, 2023】 The Essential Skills for Being Human Whether it was nature or nurture, I grew into a person who was a bit detached, which was good for a career in journalism but not for emotional availability or a joyous life. In truth, I was a practiced escape artist. If you revealed some vulnerable intimacy to me, I was good at making meaningful eye contact with your shoes and then excusing myself to keep a vitally important appointment with my dry cleaner. Life has a way of tenderizing you, though. I'm not an exceptional person, but I am a grower. I have learned something profound along the way. Being openhearted is a prerequisite for being a full, kind and wise human being. But it is not enough. People need social skills:being curious about other people; disagreeing without poisoning relationships; revealing vulnerability at an appropriate pace; being a good listener; knowing how to ask for and offer forgiveness; knowing how to host a gathering where everyone feels embraced; knowing how to see things from another's point of view. In any collection of humans, there are diminishers and there are illuminators. Diminishers are so into themselves; they make others feel insignificant. They stereotype and label. If they learn one thing about you, they proceed to make a series of assumptions about who you must be. Illuminators, on the other hand, have a persistent curiosity about other people. They have been trained or have trained themselves in the craft of understanding others. They know how to ask the right questions at the right times- so that they can see things, at least a bit, from another's point of view. They shine the brightness of their care on people and make them feel bigger, respected, lit up. A person who radiates warmth will bring out the glowing sides of the people he meets, while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and detached. “Attention,” the psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist writes,“is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.” 【译文欣赏】 做人的必备技能 不管是天性使然还是后天教化，总之我成长为了一个有点疏离的人。这种疏离感对于从事新闻工作是有利的，但是在表达情感或收获幸福的层面，则相反。事实上，我是个经验丰富的“逃避大师”。如果你对我展现出卸下防备的亲密行为，我就会用力地盯着你的鞋子，然后找个和干洗店有约的借口逃之夭夭。 不过，生活总有办法让你变得温柔。我虽然不算是个杰出的人，但我会让自己不断成长。 一路走来，我学到了一些深刻的东西。要成为一个完整、善良、明智的人，敞开心扉是先决条件。但仅仅这样是不够的。人们需要社交技能：对他人感到好奇；在不损害关系的情况下表达异议；在恰当的时间展示自己的弱点；做一个好的倾听者；知道如何请求或给予原谅；能组织一个让所有人都能融入其中的聚会；懂得站在他人的角度看待问题。 在任何一个群体中，都会有“贬低者”和“启迪者”这两种人。贬低者太过关注自己；他们让别人感到渺小。他们会依靠刻板印象将他人标签化。如果他们了解了你的一件事，就会转而对你是怎样的人作出一系列假设。 相反，启迪者则对别人有着持久的好奇心。他们学习过或自学过理解他人的技巧。他们知道如何在恰当的时间问出恰当的问题，这样至少在一定程度上，可以从别人的角度看待事物。启迪者用充满关怀的光芒照亮他人，使他人感到自己更重要、受尊重、光芒四射。 一个散发温暖的人会让他遇见的人焕发光彩，而一个喜欢“端着”的人与同一批人相遇，则会觉得对方生硬冷漠。精神科医生伊恩·麦吉尔克里斯特（Iain McGilchrist）写道：“关心是一种道德行为：它具有创造性，能够使事物的各个方面得以展现。” 【词汇积累】 ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.essence /ˈɛsəns/ n. 本质，要素 2.nature /ˈneɪtʃər/ n. 后天的教养 v. 养育，培养 3.detached /dɪˈtætʃt/ adj. 疏离的 4.vulnerable /ˈvʌlnərəbəl/ adj. 容易受伤害的，脆弱的 5.intimacy /ˈɪntɪməsi/ n. 亲密 6.tenderize /ˈtɛndəraɪz/ v. 使...变得柔软、温柔 7.exceptional /ɪkˈsɛpʃənəl/ adj. 异常的，例外的 8.profound /prəˈfaʊnd/ adj. 深厚的；意义深远的 9.prerequisite /ˌpriːˈrɛkwəzɪt/ n. 前提，先决条件 10.diminisher /dɪˈmɪnɪʃər/ n. 贬低者 11.illuminator /ɪˈluːmɪneɪtər/ n. 启迪者 12.stereotype /ˈstɛriəˌtaɪp/ n. 刻板印象 13.persistent /pərˈsɪstənt/ adj. 持续的，持久的 14.formality /fɔːrˈmæləti/ n. 固定流程，例行公事 15.stiff /stɪf/ adj. 呆板的；坚硬的；僵硬的；严厉的；拘谨的 【长难句分析】 原句 A person who radiates warmth will bring out the glowing sides of the people he meets, while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and detached. 译文 个散发温暖的人会让他遇见的人焕发光彩，而一个喜欢“端着”的人与同一批人相遇，则会觉得对方生硬冷漠。 分析 主句: +--[主句: A person who radiates warmth will bring out the glowing sides of the people he meets] | +--[并列句: while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and detached] | +--[主句: A person who radiates warmth will bring out the glowing sides of the people he meets] | | | +--[主语: A person] | | | +--[定语从句: who radiates warmth] | | | +--[并列句: while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and detached] | +--[连词: while] | | +--[定语从句: who conveys formality] （一） Volunteer Opportunities for Kids Animal shelter volunteering If your child is an animal lover, then volunteering at a local animal shelter could be a great option. Most animal shelters provide volunteer opportunities. They need volunteers for cleaning kennels, feeding, walking dogs and so on. Usually, as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time. Tutoring If your child is a good student and enjoys school or even just a specific subject, volunteering to tutor lower grade students is a great opportunity. Helping struggling students catch up or grasp a concept can make your friend feel great. It is an easy and convenient way to get your teen volunteering after school. And we suggest the age should be older than 14. Youth sports Another great opportunity to get your kid volunteering is in sports. If your child has years of experience with any sport, they can most likely find an opportunity to help out younger kids. Most youth sports need teenage volunteers to be an assistant coach or a referee. Teenagers can volunteer in maintenance to spruce up (使整洁) fields, or in cleanup after game days. The age of volunteers is required beyond 14. Contact any local sports league to get specifics on where they may be needing volunteers. Service projects for teens Cleaning up a common space such as a park or walking trail is a great way to get active in the community, and your teen can even include their friends in their volunteer effort. More detail projects may include something like building a shade structure at a local playground or planting trees. We suggest the age of the kids should be older than 14. 1．Of the following volunteer opportunities, which is suitable for kids under 14? A．Tutoring. B．Service project s for teens. C．Youth sports. D．Animal shelter volunteering. 2．What can kids do when volunteering in sports? A．They can teach younger players. B．They can give assistance to referees. C．They can become professional coaches. D．They are welcome to visit local sports league. 3．Who is the passage intended for? A．Kids’ parents. B．Sports workers. C．Animal lovers. D．School teachers. ( 原句 Usually, as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time. 译文 通常，只要孩子得到父母或监护人的同意，他们就可以在14岁时做志愿者，如果父母带他们来并监督他们的志愿者时间，他们甚至可以更小。 分析 +--[主句: Usually, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger] | +--[条件状语从句: as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian] | +--[条件状语从句: if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time] ) ( 1. volunteering n. 志愿服务 2. shelter n. 庇护所 3. guardian n. 监护人 4. tutor v. 辅导 5. struggling adj. 努力的，挣扎的 6. grasp v. 掌握 7. concept n. 概念 8. assistant n. 助理 9. referee n. 裁判 10. maintenance n. 维护 ) （二） Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay. Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills. Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.” The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts. Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for. 4．Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people? A．The doctors eventually cured her. B．Her disease didn’t become worse. C．She had security about medical care. D．She had a decent job before being ill. 5．How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others? A．By paying for their daily debts. B．By giving away money to them. C．By purchasing medical insurance for them. D．By ridding them of debts from treatments. 6．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The couple’s anticipation. B．The public involvement. C．The operation of a website. D．The increase of medical debts. 7．Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre? A．Influential and understanding. B．Humorous and elegant. C．Cautious and promising. D．Enthusiastic and adaptable. ( 原句 The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. 译文 这对夫妇开始向一个名为RIP医疗债务的组织捐款，该组织致力于偿还他人未付的医疗债务 。 分析 +--[主句: The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt] | +--[定语从句: which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others] | +--[主语: which] +--[谓语: is committed to working to pay off] +--[宾语: the unpaid medical debts of others] ) ( 1.publisher n. 出版商 2.insurance n. 保险 3.medical adj. 医疗的 4.commit v. 致力于 5.unpaid adj. 未支付的 6.donate v. 捐赠 7.attention n. 注意 8.donation n. 捐款 9.raise v. 筹集 10.effort n. 努力 ) （三） My husband made a little two-story house that mirrored our own in color and design for our Little Free Library, while I carefully selected books from our shelves. The idea struck us immediately-instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside. Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Located on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers-by each day. Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized sketch (素描) from a local artist. Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Arabic, French and Russian books are the large part among the dominant English-language books. I have even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t solved our book storage problem-if anything, we now have more books than ever before. I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has enhanced our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood. 8．Why did the author and her husband build the Little Free Library? A．To prepare for used book sales. B．To make friends with book lovers. C．To deal with their unwanted books. D．To make use of community resources. 9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．People’s care for the elderly. B．The friendship between library users. C．People’s love for the Little Free Library. D．The exploration of the community resources. 10．What does the Little Free Library reflect about the neighborhood? A．Its cultural diversity. B．Its storage problems. C．Readers’ preferences. D．People’s reading habits. 11．How has the Little Free Library impacted the community? A．It has strengthened neighborhood connections. B．It has become a meeting place for local artists. C．It has weakened public libraries to some degree. D．It has promoted the rise of independent bookstores. ( 原句 The idea struck us immediately-instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside. 译文 我们立刻想到了一个主意——与其把箱子装进车里去卖旧书，不如直接把它们送到路边。 分析 +--[主句: The idea struck us immediately] | +--[并列结构: instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale] | +--[动名词短语: loading boxes into the car] +--[介词短语: for yet another used book sale] +--[主句: we could simply walk them to the roadside] ) ( 1.mirror v. 反映 2.select v. 选择 3.passers-by n. 路人 4.retirement n. 退休 5.personalized adj. 个性化的 6.broad adj. 广泛的 7.dominant adj. 主要的 8.edition n. 版本 9.complaint n. 抱怨 10.independent adj. 独立的 ) （四） “Quick, quick, slow, slow,” my husband said as I was trying to focus. We frequently stepped on each other’s feet. Both of us were being rhythmically challenged, and we figured a series of lessons might help us look somewhat elegant on the floor. However, it didn’t. It didn’t matter that the lessons didn’t pay off. Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories, such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails (鸡尾酒) in a common bar. These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years. We always have such a great time when we’re trying something new together. It seems to have strengthened our relationship, and makes me feel like we have a closer connection. It turns out that my theory is backed by research. One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶), friends, or partners, can strengthen your connection or friendship. But how exactly does this work? The key is vulnerability (弱点). “Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our vulnerability to one another,” says Dr. Hisla Bates. When we are learning a new task, misfortunes and failures are bound to happen. In those moments when we fail, the other party can be there in favor of us. We can work together to find a solution, and working together helps deepen the connection. The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking, trying a new recipe, going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together. You don’t have to go bungee jumping or skydiving to grow closer. Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with, as this will ensure you’re on the same page. Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends. Overall, some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together. 12．What were the author and her husband doing in Paragraph 1? A．Playing sports. B．Practising dancing. C．Teaching lessons. D．Taking a walk. 13．What can we learn from the author’s experiences? A．Practice makes perfect. B．Good memories last a long time. C．Processes matter more than results. D．Well begun is half done. 14．Why does learning new things together strengthen partners’ relationship? A．It can encourage them to teach and praise each other. B．It helps improve the understanding of each other. C．It can reduce each other’s loneliness and boredom. D．It helps find each other’s weaknesses and offer support. 15．What’s the best title for the text? A．The power of learning new things together B．The advantages of taking different lessons C．The challenge of acquiring new knowledge D．The importance of improving people’s bonds ( 1. rhythmically adv. 有节奏地 2. elegant adj. 优雅的 3. recollection n. 回忆 4. classic adj. 经典的 5. hypothesis n. 假设 6. vulnerability n. 弱点 7. bond n. 联系 8. misfortune n. 不幸 9. benefit n. 益处 10. unfamiliar adj. 不熟悉的 ) （五） All of us want to strive for perfection, don’t we? It could be submitting the perfect assignment or performing a flawless musical. 16 This is especially so when we are in a large organization, like a school or company. When people work as a team, the end product is more likely to be of better quality than if an individual produces it alone. There is a name for this-synergy (增效) . Now, how does synergy work? 17 Actually, synergy is abundant in the animal kingdom. Remember the clownfish darting (飞奔) among the sea anemones (海葵) in Finding Nemo? Both creatures demonstrate mutualism at play. The clownfish hide among the stinging tentacles (触角) of the anemones when their predators come close. In return, the clownfish scare off the butterfly fish that prey on anemones. 18 From them, we learn that a team that works well together understands the strengths and weaknesses of each team member. Not only that, the teamleaders and members become proficient when they exercise specialization. 19 In teamwork, there is much creativity. 20 While the occasional conflict may arise when certain members don’t see eye to eye over an issue, these are few and far between. The team leader will be at hand to ease tensions when things go wrong. A．Let’s turn to nature for inspiration. B．Let’s not wave away the chance to work in teams. C．Each member will contribute his expertise to benefit the team. D．However, this ideal circumstance is not always accomplished alone. E．The clownfish and sea anemone make a clever team in surviving the wild. F．Team members also offer unique perspectives before reaching an agreement. G．The clownfish and sea anemone make the ocean bed beautiful, don’t you agree? ( 原句 While the occasional conflict may arise when certain members don’t see eye to eye over an issue, these are few and far between. 译文 当某些成员在某个问题上意见不一致时，偶尔会出现冲突，但这种情况很少 。 分析 +--[主句: these are few and far between] | +--[时间状语从句: While the occasional conflict may arise when certain members don’t see eye to eye over an issue] | +--[主语: the occasional conflict] +--[谓语: may arise] +--[时间状语从句: when certain members don’t see eye to eye over an issue] | +--[主语: certain members] +--[谓语: don’t see eye to eye] +--[介词短语: over an issue] ) ( 1.strive v. 努力 2.flawless adj. 完美的 3.synergy n. 协同增效 4.mutualism n. 共生关系 5.demonstrate v. 展示 6.predation n. 捕食 7.creature n. 生物 8.proficient adj. 熟练的 9.specialization n. 专业化 10.tension n. 紧张 ) （六） Elijah Champion had visited Market Basket on Nederland Avenue to pick up a job application. On his journey back home, he crossed Nederland Avenue at 25th Street instead of his 21 27th Street route. It was during this roundabout that the high school freshman 22 an elderly man whose hips had 23 , leaving him trapped about a mile and a half from his home. “When I found him, he was lying on the side of the road with his bottom half in the grass and his top half on the road,” 24 Champion. “When people drove by, they made sure to go around him, so it was pretty 25 that they had seen him.” Not discouraged, Champion went door-to-door seeking 26 . After knocking on approximately 15 doors, he finally found a 27 neighbor, and the beg for help was captured on camera. “I felt relieved and 28 at the same time because I knew that if I tried hard enough, I would find someone who would help,” shared Champion. “It was disappointing just to see how many people wouldn’t 29 another human being. ” While the man Champion assisted 30 to remain anonymous (匿名), he expressed deep gratitude for the teen’s quick thinking. “I mean, he 31 walked down two or three blocks down the road, and got someone to help me. Nice to 32 that there are still people out there that are ready to help me.” he remarked. Champion’s act of 33 gained much attention on Facebook. Although he didn’t expect the widespread 34 , Champion hopes his story can inspire others to show similar kindness. “I think if everyone helped out each other, this world would be a lot 35 .” reflected Champion. 21．A．special B．usual C．lucky D．broad 22．A．remembered B．knocked C．encountered D．accepted 23．A．cleaned off B．exploded up C．broken away D．given out 24．A．recalled B．imagined C．observed D．argued 25．A．obvious B．necessary C．urgent D．curious 26．A．safety B．advice C．wisdom D．assistance 27．A．confident B．willing C．honest D．suitable 28．A．embarrassed B．regretful C．surprised D．anxious 29．A．believe B．remind C．invite D．help 30．A．agreed B．continued C．preferred D．promised 31．A．secretly B．actually C．regularly D．merely 32．A．know B．report C．advocate D．comment 33．A．harmony B．promotion C．kindness D．service 34．A．permission B．application C．impression D．recognition 35．A．better B．simpler C．funnier D．busier ( 1.roundabout n. 绕行路线 2.encounter v. 遇到 3.trapped adj. 被困住的 4.recall v. 回忆 5.conspicuous adj. 显眼的 6.assistance n. 帮助 7.willing adj. 愿意的 8.relieved adj. 放心的 9.anonymous adj. 匿名的 10.recognition n. 认可 ) （一） （2023·北京·高考真题）The International Olympic Committee(IOC)Young Leaders programme empowers talents to make a positive difference in their communities through sport.

Everyone who had such a lunch was fair-skinned and spoke Italian. A few years later, as I stood in the lunch line with my kindergarten class in a school in Brooklyn, I realized things were no longer that simple. My classmates ranged from those kids with pale skin and large blue eyes to those with rich brown skin and dark hair. The food choices were almost as diverse as the students. In front of me was an array of foods I couldn’t even name in my native language. Fearing that I would pick out something awful, I desperately tried to ask the boy ahead of me for a recommendation. Unfortunately, between us stood the barrier of language. Although my kindergarten experience feels like a century ago, the lessons I learned will stick in my mind forever. For the past three summers, I have worked in a government agency in New York. New immigrants much like the little girl in the lunch line flooded our office seeking help. I often had to be an interpreter for the Italian-speaking ones. As I served the role of vital communication link, I was reminded of my desperate struggle to converse before I learned English. I watched with great sympathy as elderly Italians tried to hold a conversation in Italian with people who did not speak the language. It suddenly became very clear to me how lucky I was to be fluent in two languages. In New York, a multicultural city, students like me are blessed with a chance to work with a diverse population. In my English to Italian translations, I’ve learned about social programs that I didn’t know existed. This work expanded my mind in ways that are impossible inside the four walls of a classroom. Walking through the streets of Brooklyn today, I am no longer confused by this city’s sounds and smells. Instead, enjoy its diversity. 4．What did the author realize after entering school in Brooklyn? A．Time passed quickly. B．English was hard to learn. C．The food was terrible. D．People were very different. 5．Who does “the little girl” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．An Italian teacher. B．A government official. C．The author herself. D．The author’s classmate. 6．How did the summer job benefit the author? A．It strengthened her love for school. B．It helped sharpen her sense of direction. C．It opened her eyes to the real world. D．It made her childhood dream come true. （三） （2022·全国乙卷）Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain (保持) long-distance friendships. ·Set a regular date Long-lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact (联系) and share with one another. With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge. 7 . ·More isn’t always merrier Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. 8 . There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat. ·Practise empathy (共情) 9 . The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned. · 10 Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you. ·Don’t rely on technology alone 11 , but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain. Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it? Just spend face-to-face time together whenever possible. A．Remember important dates B．Compensate by writing letters C．It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeper D．Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it E．Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication F．It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media G．You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind Task 1 本专题的主题语境是“人与社会”，话题是“社会服务与人际沟通”。请选择一篇你感兴趣的阅读语篇，尝试用思维导图绘制出文章脉络吧！ Task 2 （2024·河北保定·二模）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “Dear Jenny, I am really sorry to tell you that you didn’t get the position this time. The interviewers had a discussion about you. You have a very good experience, but you are not qualified for this position. The journalist we want is to communicate with people from walks of life, so you should be more sociable and more energetic. So, sorry.” Actually, such was not quite new to Jenny and this was the third time that she had been rejected for a job position after her graduation from university as a top student. Overwhelmed (淹没) with sadness, she lifted her hands to cover her face. Her heart was broken with self-doubt whether she was never good enough to fit in with the highly competitive adult world. It seemed that the excellence she displayed at school was nothing but illusion. “Maybe I should quit applying for that demanding job,” Jenny whispered to herself. Sensing something wrong, Jenny’s father, James, said to his daughter, “Congratulations on your graduation, and time to enjoy your youth. In celebration of your new life, I’d like to give you something special. Here is a car that I acquired many years ago. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them you want to sell it and see how much they offer you.” Unwilling as Jenny was, she went to the used car lot and they offered her only one thousand dollars because the car looked very worn out. With that offer, she returned back to her father and out of her expectation, this time her father told her to take this car to a pawnshop (当铺). Confused, Jenny went to the pawnshop where they should have offered her ten thousand dollars as her father’s car looked a little bit old to them. “Maybe it is a perfect deal!” thought Jenny. But then, the father advised his daughter to keep trying and go to a car club and show them the car. The daughter took the car to the club, and then, breathtakingly, something magic happened. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 People there willingly offered one hundred thousand dollars for the same car. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wearing a satisfied smile, James said, “They identified it as an expensive car.” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 4 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 社会服务与人际沟通（解析版） 【材料来源：The New York Times Oct 19, 2023】 The Essential Skills for Being Human Whether it was nature or nurture, I grew into a person who was a bit detached, which was good for a career in journalism but not for emotional availability or a joyous life. In truth, I was a practiced escape artist. If you revealed some vulnerable intimacy to me, I was good at making meaningful eye contact with your shoes and then excusing myself to keep a vitally important appointment with my dry cleaner. Life has a way of tenderizing you, though. I'm not an exceptional person, but I am a grower. I have learned something profound along the way. Being openhearted is a prerequisite for being a full, kind and wise human being. But it is not enough. People need social skills:being curious about other people; disagreeing without poisoning relationships; revealing vulnerability at an appropriate pace; being a good listener; knowing how to ask for and offer forgiveness; knowing how to host a gathering where everyone feels embraced; knowing how to see things from another's point of view. In any collection of humans, there are diminishers and there are illuminators. Diminishers are so into themselves; they make others feel insignificant. They stereotype and label. If they learn one thing about you, they proceed to make a series of assumptions about who you must be. Illuminators, on the other hand, have a persistent curiosity about other people. They have been trained or have trained themselves in the craft of understanding others. They know how to ask the right questions at the right times- so that they can see things, at least a bit, from another's point of view. They shine the brightness of their care on people and make them feel bigger, respected, lit up. A person who radiates warmth will bring out the glowing sides of the people he meets, while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and detached. “Attention,” the psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist writes,“is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.” 【译文欣赏】 做人的必备技能 不管是天性使然还是后天教化，总之我成长为了一个有点疏离的人。这种疏离感对于从事新闻工作是有利的，但是在表达情感或收获幸福的层面，则相反。事实上，我是个经验丰富的“逃避大师”。如果你对我展现出卸下防备的亲密行为，我就会用力地盯着你的鞋子，然后找个和干洗店有约的借口逃之夭夭。 不过，生活总有办法让你变得温柔。我虽然不算是个杰出的人，但我会让自己不断成长。 一路走来，我学到了一些深刻的东西。要成为一个完整、善良、明智的人，敞开心扉是先决条件。但仅仅这样是不够的。人们需要社交技能：对他人感到好奇；在不损害关系的情况下表达异议；在恰当的时间展示自己的弱点；做一个好的倾听者；知道如何请求或给予原谅；能组织一个让所有人都能融入其中的聚会；懂得站在他人的角度看待问题。 在任何一个群体中，都会有“贬低者”和“启迪者”这两种人。贬低者太过关注自己；他们让别人感到渺小。他们会依靠刻板印象将他人标签化。如果他们了解了你的一件事，就会转而对你是怎样的人作出一系列假设。 相反，启迪者则对别人有着持久的好奇心。他们学习过或自学过理解他人的技巧。他们知道如何在恰当的时间问出恰当的问题，这样至少在一定程度上，可以从别人的角度看待事物。启迪者用充满关怀的光芒照亮他人，使他人感到自己更重要、受尊重、光芒四射。 一个散发温暖的人会让他遇见的人焕发光彩，而一个喜欢“端着”的人与同一批人相遇，则会觉得对方生硬冷漠。精神科医生伊恩·麦吉尔克里斯特（Iain McGilchrist）写道：“关心是一种道德行为：它具有创造性，能够使事物的各个方面得以展现。” 【词汇积累】 ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.essence /ˈɛsəns/ n. 本质，要素 2.nature /ˈneɪtʃər/ n. 后天的教养 v. 养育，培养 3.detached /dɪˈtætʃt/ adj. 疏离的 4.vulnerable /ˈvʌlnərəbəl/ adj. 容易受伤害的，脆弱的 5.intimacy /ˈɪntɪməsi/ n. 亲密 6.tenderize /ˈtɛndəraɪz/ v. 使...变得柔软、温柔 7.exceptional /ɪkˈsɛpʃənəl/ adj. 异常的，例外的 8.profound /prəˈfaʊnd/ adj. 深厚的；意义深远的 9.prerequisite /ˌpriːˈrɛkwəzɪt/ n. 前提，先决条件 10.diminisher /dɪˈmɪnɪʃər/ n. 贬低者 11.illuminator /ɪˈluːmɪneɪtər/ n. 启迪者 12.stereotype /ˈstɛriəˌtaɪp/ n. 刻板印象 13.persistent /pərˈsɪstənt/ adj. 持续的，持久的 14.formality /fɔːrˈmæləti/ n. 固定流程，例行公事 15.stiff /stɪf/ adj. 呆板的；坚硬的；僵硬的；严厉的；拘谨的 【长难句分析】 原句 A person who radiates warmth will bring out the glowing sides of the people he meets, while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and detached. 译文 个散发温暖的人会让他遇见的人焕发光彩，而一个喜欢“端着”的人与同一批人相遇，则会觉得对方生硬冷漠。 分析 主句: +--[主句: A person who radiates warmth will bring out the glowing sides of the people he meets] | +--[并列句: while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and detached] | +--[主句: A person who radiates warmth will bring out the glowing sides of the people he meets] | | | +--[主语: A person] | | | +--[定语从句: who radiates warmth] | | | +--[并列句: while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and detached] | +--[连词: while] | | +--[定语从句: who conveys formality] （一） （2024·四川成都·模拟预测）Volunteer Opportunities for Kids Animal shelter volunteering If your child is an animal lover, then volunteering at a local animal shelter could be a great option. Most animal shelters provide volunteer opportunities. They need volunteers for cleaning kennels, feeding, walking dogs and so on. Usually, as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time. Tutoring If your child is a good student and enjoys school or even just a specific subject, volunteering to tutor lower grade students is a great opportunity. Helping struggling students catch up or grasp a concept can make your friend feel great. It is an easy and convenient way to get your teen volunteering after school. And we suggest the age should be older than 14. Youth sports Another great opportunity to get your kid volunteering is in sports. If your child has years of experience with any sport, they can most likely find an opportunity to help out younger kids. Most youth sports need teenage volunteers to be an assistant coach or a referee. Teenagers can volunteer in maintenance to spruce up (使整洁) fields, or in cleanup after game days. The age of volunteers is required beyond 14. Contact any local sports league to get specifics on where they may be needing volunteers. Service projects for teens Cleaning up a common space such as a park or walking trail is a great way to get active in the community, and your teen can even include their friends in their volunteer effort. More detail projects may include something like building a shade structure at a local playground or planting trees. We suggest the age of the kids should be older than 14. 1．Of the following volunteer opportunities, which is suitable for kids under 14? A．Tutoring. B．Service project s for teens. C．Youth sports. D．Animal shelter volunteering. 2．What can kids do when volunteering in sports? A．They can teach younger players. B．They can give assistance to referees. C．They can become professional coaches. D．They are welcome to visit local sports league. 3．Who is the passage intended for? A．Kids’ parents. B．Sports workers. C．Animal lovers. D．School teachers. 【答案速查】1．D 2．B 3．A 【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了适合儿童和青少年的志愿活动，包括在动物收容所志愿服务、辅导低年级学生、参与青少年体育运动以及参与社区服务项目等。 1．细节理解题。根据Animal shelter volunteering部分中“Usually, as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time.(通常，只要孩子得到父母或监护人的同意，他们就可以在14岁时做志愿者，如果父母带他们来并监督他们的志愿者时间，他们甚至可以更小。)”可知，只要孩子有家长或监护人的签名同意，他们甚至可以从14岁开始志愿服务，如果家长陪同并监督，年龄可以更小。因此，在动物收容所志愿服务是适合14岁以下孩子的志愿活动。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据Youth sports部分中“Most youth sports need teenage volunteers to be an assistant coach or a referee. (大多数青少年运动都需要青少年志愿者担任助理教练或裁判。)”可知，青少年在体育活动中可以担任助理教练或裁判。因此，他们可以给裁判员提供帮助。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据本篇文章标题“Volunteer Opportunities for Kids(儿童义工机会)”可知，本文主要介绍了适合儿童和青少年的志愿活动，包括在动物收容所志愿服务、辅导低年级学生、参与青少年体育运动以及参与社区服务项目等。因此，全文都在介绍适合孩子参与的志愿活动，并提供了如何联系相关机构的具体信息。因此，这篇文章是为了指导孩子的父母如何找到适合孩子参与的志愿活动。故文章的对象为“孩子的父母”。故选A。 ( 原句 Usually, as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time. 译文 通常，只要孩子得到父母或监护人的同意，他们就可以在14岁时做志愿者，如果父母带他们来并监督他们的志愿者时间，他们甚至可以更小。 分析 +--[主句: Usually, they can volunteer as young as 14, even younger] | +--[条件状语从句: as long as the child has signed permission from their parents or guardian] | +--[条件状语从句: if their parents bring them and supervise their volunteer time] ) ( 1. volunteering n. 志愿服务 2. shelter n. 庇护所 3. guardian n. 监护人 4. tutor v. 辅导 5. struggling adj. 努力的，挣扎的 6. grasp v. 掌握 7. concept n. 概念 8. assistant n. 助理 9. referee n. 裁判 10. maintenance n. 维护 ) （二） （2024·湖南长沙·模拟预测）Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay. Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills. Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.” The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts. Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for. 4．Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people? A．The doctors eventually cured her. B．Her disease didn’t become worse. C．She had security about medical care. D．She had a decent job before being ill. 5．How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others? A．By paying for their daily debts. B．By giving away money to them. C．By purchasing medical insurance for them. D．By ridding them of debts from treatments. 6．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The couple’s anticipation. B．The public involvement. C．The operation of a website. D．The increase of medical debts. 7．Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre? A．Influential and understanding. B．Humorous and elegant. C．Cautious and promising. D．Enthusiastic and adaptable. 【答案速查】4．C 5．D 6．B 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了身患绝症的出版商McIntyre女士与其丈夫捐赠善款，通过RIP医疗债务组织帮助他人清偿巨额医疗账单的故事。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段“But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. (但她意识到，在某种程度上，她比其他人幸运。她有保险来帮助支付医疗费用)”可知，麦金太尔女士觉得自己比其他人幸运，这是因为她有医疗保险帮助支付医疗费用，她有医疗保障。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. (尽管她的健康状况正在恶化，麦金太尔女士还是决定尽可能多地帮助人们偿还医疗债务。这对夫妇开始向一个名为RIP医疗债务的组织捐款，该组织致力于偿还他人未付的医疗债务)”可知，麦金太尔女士和她的丈夫通过偿还他人未付的医疗债务帮助别人。故选D。 6．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal.

The idea struck us immediately-instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside. Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Located on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers-by each day. Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized sketch (素描) from a local artist. Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Arabic, French and Russian books are the large part among the dominant English-language books. I have even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t solved our book storage problem-if anything, we now have more books than ever before. I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has enhanced our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood. 8．Why did the author and her husband build the Little Free Library? A．To prepare for used book sales. B．To make friends with book lovers. C．To deal with their unwanted books. D．To make use of community resources. 9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．People’s care for the elderly. B．The friendship between library users. C．People’s love for the Little Free Library. D．The exploration of the community resources. 10．What does the Little Free Library reflect about the neighborhood? A．Its cultural diversity. B．Its storage problems. C．Readers’ preferences. D．People’s reading habits. 11．How has the Little Free Library impacted the community? A．It has strengthened neighborhood connections. B．It has become a meeting place for local artists. C．It has weakened public libraries to some degree. D．It has promoted the rise of independent bookstores. 【答案速查】8．C 9．C 10．A 11．A 【语篇解读】本文的为一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述作者和她丈夫建立小型免费图书馆的经历，以及这个图书馆如何成为社区中人们分享图书、增强邻里联系的平台，展现了社区文化生活和人际互动的一个温馨场景。 8．细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“My husband made a little two-story house that mirrored our own in color and design for our Little Free Library, while I carefully selected books from our shelves. The idea struck us immediately-instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside. (我丈夫为我们的免费小图书馆做了一座两层的小房子，颜色和设计都和我们的一样，而我则仔细地从书架上挑选书籍。我们立刻想到了一个主意——与其把箱子装进车里去卖旧书，不如直接把它们送到路边。)”可知，作者和她的丈夫建立这个小型免费图书馆是为了处理他们不再需要的书籍。故选C。 9．主旨大意题。由文章第三段“Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized sketch (素描) from a local artist. (许多使用我们图书馆的人毫不犹豫地分享他们对这个社区资源的热爱。一位绅士经常路过，为附近的养老院取书。在其他时候，我们收到卡片和礼物，包括巧克力，甚至是当地艺术家的个性化素描。)”可知，第三段主要描述了人们对于这个小型免费图书馆的喜爱之情。故选C。 10．细节理解题。由第四段中的“Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. (就像使用我们图书馆的人一样，来来往往的书反映了我们城市的广泛多样性。)”可知，这个小型免费图书馆反映了社区的文化多样性。故选A。 11．细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Our Little Free Library has enhanced our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood. (我们的免费小图书馆增强了我们对阅读的热爱，并将我们与繁忙社区中心的图书爱好者社区联系起来。)”可知，这个小型免费图书馆增强了社区的联系，让邻里之间的书友联系在了一起。故选A。 ( 原句 The idea struck us immediately-instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside. 译文 我们立刻想到了一个主意——与其把箱子装进车里去卖旧书，不如直接把它们送到路边。 分析 +--[主句: The idea struck us immediately] | +--[并列结构: instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale] | +--[动名词短语: loading boxes into the car] +--[介词短语: for yet another used book sale] +--[主句: we could simply walk them to the roadside] ) ( 1.mirror v. 反映 2.select v. 选择 3.passers-by n. 路人 4.retirement n. 退休 5.personalized adj. 个性化的 6.broad adj. 广泛的 7.dominant adj. 主要的 8.edition n. 版本 9.complaint n. 抱怨 10.independent adj. 独立的 ) （四） （2024·辽宁·模拟预测）“Quick, quick, slow, slow,” my husband said as I was trying to focus. We frequently stepped on each other’s feet. Both of us were being rhythmically challenged, and we figured a series of lessons might help us look somewhat elegant on the floor. However, it didn’t. It didn’t matter that the lessons didn’t pay off. Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories, such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails (鸡尾酒) in a common bar. These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years. We always have such a great time when we’re trying something new together. It seems to have strengthened our relationship, and makes me feel like we have a closer connection. It turns out that my theory is backed by research. One study shows that learning new things with your spouse (配偶), friends, or partners, can strengthen your connection or friendship. But how exactly does this work? The key is vulnerability (弱点). “Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our vulnerability to one another,” says Dr. Hisla Bates. When we are learning a new task, misfortunes and failures are bound to happen. In those moments when we fail, the other party can be there in favor of us. We can work together to find a solution, and working together helps deepen the connection. The benefits gained from learning new things with your partner can come from activities as small as hiking, trying a new recipe, going boating in the local lake or taking a fitness class together. You don’t have to go bungee jumping or skydiving to grow closer. Try selecting activities that both partners are unfamiliar with, as this will ensure you’re on the same page. Trying to learn something new together once a month will benefit you and your spouse or friends. Overall, some of my best memories with my husband are the moments when we are learning something new together. 12．What were the author and her husband doing in Paragraph 1? A．Playing sports. B．Practising dancing. C．Teaching lessons. D．Taking a walk. 13．What can we learn from the author’s experiences? A．Practice makes perfect. B．Good memories last a long time. C．Processes matter more than results. D．Well begun is half done. 14．Why does learning new things together strengthen partners’ relationship? A．It can encourage them to teach and praise each other. B．It helps improve the understanding of each other. C．It can reduce each other’s loneliness and boredom. D．It helps find each other’s weaknesses and offer support. 15．What’s the best title for the text? A．The power of learning new things together B．The advantages of taking different lessons C．The challenge of acquiring new knowledge D．The importance of improving people’s bonds 【答案速查】12．B 13．C 14．D 15．A 【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己和丈夫经常一起学习新东西的经历并结合科学研究发现论述了自己的观点——一起尝试学习一些新东西有利于加深亲密关系。 12．推理判断题。根据第一段前两句““Quick, quick, slow, slow,” my husband said as I was trying to focus. We frequently stepped on each other’s feet.(“快，快，慢，慢。”我丈夫在我努力集中注意力的时候说。我们经常互相踩对方的脚。)”可知，第一段中作者和丈夫在练习跳舞。故选B。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句到第三句“It didn’t matter that the lessons didn’t pay off. Our learning something new together gave us a string of good memories, such as taking a Thai cooking class on a cold Chicago night and learning how to make classic cocktails (鸡尾酒) in a common bar. These experiences are my best memories from the past 10 years.(这些教训没有得到回报并不重要。我们一起学习新的东西给我们带来了一系列美好的回忆，比如在芝加哥一个寒冷的夜晚上泰国烹饪课，在一家普通酒吧学习如何制作经典鸡尾酒。这些经历是我过去10年最美好的回忆。)”可知，从作者的经历中可以了解到过程比结果更重要。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据第三段第三句到最后一句“But how exactly does this work? The key is vulnerability (弱点). “Learning new things together strengthens bonds because it is at those moments that we can show our vulnerability to one another,” says Dr. Hisla Bates. When we are learning a new task, misfortunes and failures are bound to happen. In those moments when we fail, the other party can be there in favor of us.

It could be submitting the perfect assignment or performing a flawless musical. 16 This is especially so when we are in a large organization, like a school or company. When people work as a team, the end product is more likely to be of better quality than if an individual produces it alone. There is a name for this-synergy (增效) . Now, how does synergy work? 17 Actually, synergy is abundant in the animal kingdom. Remember the clownfish darting (飞奔) among the sea anemones (海葵) in Finding Nemo? Both creatures demonstrate mutualism at play. The clownfish hide among the stinging tentacles (触角) of the anemones when their predators come close.

A few years later, as I stood in the lunch line with my kindergarten class in a school in Brooklyn, I realized things were no longer that simple. My classmates ranged from those kids with pale skin and large blue eyes to those with rich brown skin and dark hair. The food choices were almost as diverse as the students. In front of me was an array of foods I couldn’t even name in my native language. Fearing that I would pick out something awful, I desperately tried to ask the boy ahead of me for a recommendation. Unfortunately, between us stood the barrier of language. Although my kindergarten experience feels like a century ago, the lessons I learned will stick in my mind forever. For the past three summers, I have worked in a government agency in New York. New immigrants much like the little girl in the lunch line flooded our office seeking help. I often had to be an interpreter for the Italian-speaking ones. As I served the role of vital communication link, I was reminded of my desperate struggle to converse before I learned English. I watched with great sympathy as elderly Italians tried to hold a conversation in Italian with people who did not speak the language. It suddenly became very clear to me how lucky I was to be fluent in two languages. In New York, a multicultural city, students like me are blessed with a chance to work with a diverse population. In my English to Italian translations, I’ve learned about social programs that I didn’t know existed. This work expanded my mind in ways that are impossible inside the four walls of a classroom. Walking through the streets of Brooklyn today, I am no longer confused by this city’s sounds and smells. Instead, enjoy its diversity. 4．What did the author realize after entering school in Brooklyn? A．Time passed quickly. B．English was hard to learn. C．The food was terrible. D．People were very different. 5．Who does “the little girl” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．An Italian teacher. B．A government official. C．The author herself. D．The author’s classmate. 6．How did the summer job benefit the author? A．It strengthened her love for school. B．It helped sharpen her sense of direction. C．It opened her eyes to the real world. D．It made her childhood dream come true. 【答案速查】4．D 5．C 6．C 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过三个夏天的工作，开阔了视野，接受真实世界的多样性，不再是幼儿园里那个害怕的小女孩了。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段第三四句“A few years later, as I stood in the lunch line with my kindergarten class in a school in Brooklyn, I realized things were no longer that simple. My classmates ranged from those kids with pale skin and large blue eyes to those with rich brown skin and dark hair. (几年后，当我站在布鲁克林一所幼儿园的午餐队伍里时，我意识到事情不再那么简单了。我的同学中有皮肤白皙、蓝眼睛大的，也有棕色皮肤、深色头发的)”可知，当作者去了在Brooklyn的一所学校之后，发现学校里的人不一样。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据第二段第二三句“For the past three summers, I have worked in a government agency in New York. New immigrants much like the little girl in the lunch line flooded our office seeking help. (过去的三个夏天，我一直在纽约的一家政府机构工作。新移民涌入我们的办公室寻求帮助，就像排队吃午餐的小女孩一样)”以及第一段第三句“A few years later, as I stood in the lunch line with my kindergarten class in a school in Brooklyn, I realized things were no longer that simple.

Here are five ways to sustain (保持) long-distance friendships. ·Set a regular date Long-lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact (联系) and share with one another. With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge. 7 . ·More isn’t always merrier Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. 8 . There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat. ·Practise empathy (共情) 9 . The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned. · 10 Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you. ·Don’t rely on technology alone 11 , but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain. Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it? Just spend face-to-face time together whenever possible. A．Remember important dates B．Compensate by writing letters C．It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeper D．Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it E．Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication F．It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media G．You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind 【答案速查】7．D 8．E 9．G 10．A 11．F 【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了五种维系异地友谊的方法。 7．根据上文“With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge.”（平日繁忙，很难抽出时间打电话）讲的是双方都很忙碌，很难有时间给对方打电话，D项“尽量找个双方都有空的时间去打电话，并坚持下去” 给出了解决没时间打电话这个问题的方法，符合题意。故选D项。 8．根据上文“Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both.”（确保你已经和你的朋友沟通过，了解你们想要联系的频率，以及哪种方法对你们双方都最有效）提到异地朋友之间要商量沟通方式，E项“朋友需要谈论他们喜欢的交流方式”承接上文，进一步提出对交流的方法的沟通，下文“There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.”（除了持续的文字交流，还有其他选择，比如留下语音信息或进行群聊）对E项中的“methods of communication”进行了举例说明，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 9．根据下文“The friend who is remaining”（留下来的朋友）和“The one in the new environment”（在新环境中的那个）提到朋友的两个不同处境，G项“你可能是朋友中离开的那一方，也可能是被留下的那一方”指出了异地友谊中分为离开的一方和留下的一方，其中“the friend who left”和“the one who was left behind”分别对应下文“The one in the new environment”和“The friend who is remaining”，所以G项符合题意。故选G项。 10．分析文章结构可知，设空处的内容是维系异地友谊的第四个方法，是第五段的小标题。下文“Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships.”（周年纪念日和生日对于异地友谊而言是非常重要的）讲的是诸如周年纪念日和生日等重要的日子对于维系异地友谊是非常重要的，由此推知，这段对应的维系异地友谊的方法是A项“Remember important dates”（记得重要的日子），所以A项符合题意。故选A项。 11．设空处所在句子的后半句“but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain.”（但是异地友谊——甚至是关系亲密的友谊——可能需要更加自觉地去维系）讲的是我们要更加自觉地维系异地友谊，其中“but”说明后半句与设空处形成转折，而F项“朋友之间很容易通过社交媒体产生一种联结感”讲的是可以通过社交媒体这种方式很容易与朋友产生联结，与后半句“require more conscious effort to sustain”形成转折，而且其中的“social media”呼应了该段的小标题“Don’t rely on technology alone”（不要仅仅依赖技术）中的“technology”。故选F项。 Task 1 本专题的主题语境是“人与社会”，话题是“社会服务与人际沟通”。请选择一篇你感兴趣的阅读语篇，尝试用思维导图绘制出文章脉络吧！ 思维导图参考 高考真题演练（三）2022·全国乙卷 Task 2 （2024·河北保定·二模）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “Dear Jenny, I am really sorry to tell you that you didn’t get the position this time. The interviewers had a discussion about you. You have a very good experience, but you are not qualified for this position. The journalist we want is to communicate with people from walks of life, so you should be more sociable and more energetic. So, sorry.” Actually, such was not quite new to Jenny and this was the third time that she had been rejected for a job position after her graduation from university as a top student. Overwhelmed (淹没) with sadness, she lifted her hands to cover her face. Her heart was broken with self-doubt whether she was never good enough to fit in with the highly competitive adult world. It seemed that the excellence she displayed at school was nothing but illusion. “Maybe I should quit applying for that demanding job,” Jenny whispered to herself. Sensing something wrong, Jenny’s father, James, said to his daughter, “Congratulations on your graduation, and time to enjoy your youth. In celebration of your new life, I’d like to give you something special. Here is a car that I acquired many years ago. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them you want to sell it and see how much they offer you.” Unwilling as Jenny was, she went to the used car lot and they offered her only one thousand dollars because the car looked very worn out. With that offer, she returned back to her father and out of her expectation, this time her father told her to take this car to a pawnshop (当铺). Confused, Jenny went to the pawnshop where they should have offered her ten thousand dollars as her father’s car looked a little bit old to them. “Maybe it is a perfect deal!” thought Jenny. But then, the father advised his daughter to keep trying and go to a car club and show them the car. The daughter took the car to the club, and then, breathtakingly, something magic happened. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 People there willingly offered one hundred thousand dollars for the same car. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wearing a satisfied smile, James said, “They identified it as an expensive car.” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案： 【范文】 People there willingly offered one hundred thousand dollars for the same car. Shocked, Jenny couldn’t believe what was happening in front of her. Ideas and questions came to mind, so she asked herself, “How could the prices be so different at different places? Are these guys out of mind to buy such a worn-out car?” Without any clues, she dashed back to her father and couldn’t wait to make out the truth. So she told James what had happened in the car club. Wearing a satisfied smile, James said, “They identified it as an expensive car.” In fact, never had people in the used car lot and the pawnshop recognized the value under the broken cover. Patting gently on Jenny’s shoulder, James said, “I want you to know that you are not worth anything if you are not in a right place. Don’t stay where your value goes unnoticed.” With moved tears in her eyes, Jenny understood she should know her worth and surround herself with those who could recognize it and that the true value would shine only when she was in the right environment. She knew clearly what to do next. 【语篇解读】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jenny在求职过程中连续三次被拒绝，感到自我怀疑和绝望。她的父亲James为了帮助她认识到自己的价值，让她将一辆看似破旧的车带到不同的场所估价。首先在二手车市场，车被估价为一千美元，然后在当铺，估价为一万美元，Jenny觉得这个价格很棒，但James鼓励她再去汽车俱乐部看看这辆车的估价，然后神奇的事情发生了。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那里的人愿意出10万美元买同样的车”可知，第一段可描写Jenny对此感到震惊和困惑，以及她回去和父亲讲述这件事。 ②由第二段首句内容“James带着满意的微笑说：‘他们认定那是一辆昂贵的车。’”可知，第二段可描写父亲教导Jenny，像这辆车一样，她的价值取决于她所在的环境，以及Jenny从这件事中得到感悟，明白自己该怎么做。 2. 续写线索：俱乐部出价10万美元——Jenny震惊和困惑——Jenny告诉James情况——James回答——James开导Jenny—Jenny的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy/purchase ②冲，奔：dash/run/rush ③弄清楚：make out/figure out/work out ④意识到：recognize/realize 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished/surprised ②受感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] So she told James what had happened in the car club.
