UNIT 1 Section Ⅳ Lesson 2(Word练习)-【精讲精练】2024-2025学年高中英语选择性必修第一册（北师大版2019）

Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I was sitting at my desk when another graduate student in my lab approached me. “Can you help？” he begged. His experiment wasn't working and he desperately needed help. I was a fifth year PhD student，the senior member of the lab at the time. As I had many times before，I gave in and said yes. I had a hard time saying no to such requests. I was new to the United States，having moved from China for graduate school. I found it difficult to make new friends and discover afterwork activities I enjoyed. My lab­mates served as my primary source of social connection. I feared that if I turned them down，I'd lose their favor. After I graduated and started a job in industry，I continued to carry the same attitude with me，and it continued to cost me. It wasn't until my wife gave birth to our first child that I realized how thin I had stretched myself and how misguided my priorities(重要的事) were. While she lay in a hospital bed in the early stages of labor(分娩阵痛)，I sat nearby，busy in correcting a work report on my laptop for my colleague. Hours later，after hearing my daughter's first cry and watching her tiny fingers grab tightly onto mine，it dawned on me that I should have been fully present during my daughter's birth. From then on，I determined to spare more time for my family by reducing my work tasks and carefully considering each request for help. I still enjoyed cooperating with others，but I dealt with mutually(共同地) beneficial tasks first，rather than accepting everything that came my way. I noticed many benefits，and few disadvantages. My daily work schedule was not so crowded. I no longer worked overtime，and I was able to improve my work performance by focusing more on important tasks. I was also pleased to discover that “Sorry，I'd love to help but I have a deadline coming up” is an acceptable response to a request for assistance. Most colleagues seem to understand. It's hard to say “no” to those you work with. But I've learned that sometimes that's the best way to avoid too much workload and lead a freer and happier life. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍了作者渴望与他人建立联系，所以很难拒绝别人的请求，但从作者的第一个孩子出生以后，他认为最重要的事情就是陪伴家人，在学会拒绝别人之后，他的工作量少了，生活更快乐了。 1．Why was it hard for the author to refuse others' requests in school? A．He was eager for a bond with others. B．He was interested in helping others. C．He was fond of doing experiments. D．He was the most experienced student. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“I feared that if I turned them down，I'd lose their favor.”可知，作者很难拒绝别人的要求是因为他想让他人一直喜欢自己，渴望与他人建立联系。故选A。 2．What made the author carefully consider each request for help? A．His graduation. B．His wife's request. C．The birth of his daughter. D．The unhealthy state of his body. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“It wasn't until my wife gave birth to our first child that I realized how thin I had stretched myself and how misguided my priorities(重要的事) were.”和最后一句，以及第四段第一句可知，作者女儿的出生使作者开始仔细考虑每一个求助请求。故选C。 3．What does the author think is the priority now? A．Writing a report. B．Connecting with others. C．Accompanying his family. D．Requesting others for help. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“From then on，I determined to spare more time for my family by reducing my work tasks and carefully considering each request for help.”可知，现在作者把家庭放在了第一位，所以作者现在认为最重要的事情就是陪伴家人。故选C。 4．What happened to the author after refusing others? A．He got along badly with his colleagues. B．He got a lot more vital tasks. C．He received assistance from his colleagues. D．He got less work and more joy. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“But I've learned that sometimes that's the best way to avoid too much workload and lead a freer and happier life.”可知，当作者拒绝别人之后，工作量少了，生活更快乐了。故选D。 B While verbal and written communication skills are important，nonverbal behaviors make up a large percentage of our daily interpersonal communication. Good eye contact is an essential nonverbal communication skill. When people fail to look at others in the eye，it can seem as if they are trying to hide something. On the other hand，too much eye contact can seem aggressive. While eye contact is an important part of communication，it's important to remember that good eye contact does not mean staring fixedly into someone's eyes. Some communication experts recommend intervals of eye contact lasting four to five seconds. If you are confused about another person's nonverbal signals，don't be afraid to ask questions. A good idea is to repeat back your interpretation of what has been said and ask for clarification. An example of this might be: “So what you are saying is that...” Sometimes simply asking such questions can lend a great deal of clarity to a situation. For example，a person might be giving off certain nonverbal signals because he has something else on his mind. Another important part of good nonverbal communication skills involves being able to take a more holistic approach to what a person is communicating. A single gesture can mean any number of things，or maybe even nothing at all. The key to accurately reading nonverbal behavior is to look for groups of signals that reinforce a common point. If you place too much emphasis on just one signal out of many，you might come to an inaccurate conclusion about what a person is trying to say. According to some，a firm handshake indicates a strong personality while a weak handshake is taken as a lack of courage. This example illustrates an important point about the possibility of misreading nonverbal signals. A limp handshake might actually indicate something else entirely，such as arthritis(关节炎). Always remember to look for groups of behavior. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。非语言沟通技巧至关重要，可以更轻松地传达一个人的观点并读懂其他人试图告诉你的内容。 5．What is good eye contact? A．Looking others in the eye for six seconds. B．Staring fixedly into someone's eyes. C．Looking directly and telling the truth. D．Having eye contact every five seconds. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some communication experts recommend intervals of eye contact lasting four to five seconds.”可知，最恰当的眼神接触是间隔持续4至5秒。故选D。 6．What should you do if you don't understand another person's nonverbal signals? A．Give him a smile. B．Ask for further information. C．Tell him you're on his mind. D．Give off certain nonverbal signals. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第三段中“If you are confused about...asking such questions can lend a great deal of clarity to a situation.”可知，通过进一步提出问题可以使情况更清晰。故选B。 7．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A．Look at signals as a whole. B．Concentrate on your communication skills. C．Ask questions about nonverbal signals. D．Encourage listeners to use groups of signals. 解析　A　段落大意题。根据第四段中“Another important part...what a person is communicating.”和“The key to accurately reading nonverbal behavior is to look for groups of signals that reinforce a common point.”可知，第四段主要讲了应该从整体上来看这些肢体语言。故选A。 8．Why does the author mention arthritis in the last paragraph? A．To call on readers to understand others while speaking. B．To ask readers to practice nonverbal signals more. C．To tell readers signals can be misread. D．To prove a single gesture is a must. 解析　C　推理判断题。最后一段中“According to some...something else entirely，such as arthritis(关节炎)．”提到有力的握手表示个性很强，而软弱的握手则表示缺乏胆量。但如果对方有关节炎，他的握手也许会很虚弱。作者提到关节炎旨在说明肢体语言有时候也会被人误读。故选C。 Ⅱ.完形填空 In the seventh grade when my mother suggested that I should join the golf team，I thought she had lost her mind.
