C Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another person. We should face it. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate successfully? Yes, there is. Please follow the steps below. Relax and breathe. Whether it is a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do is to relax. When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions（反应） and your reactions don’t control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more relaxed. This will help us what you have already known about how to communicate well. Think and you will be prepared. Have you heard the old saying, “Think before you speak”? Well, it rings true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow(流畅), you will be better prepared , more relaxed and more confident(自信的). Follow the flow of the conversation. If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, you should follow through with small talk until a common topic appears. A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will keep the conversation going, thinking very highly of you. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. If you try your best, you will be successful. 61．If you want to communicate successfully, what should you do first? A．To follow the conversation. B．To relax yourself. C．To prepare the conversation well. 62．According to the passage, how many steps are mentioned? A．Four. B．Two. C．Three. 63．Which of the following is TRUE? A．You will control the conversation by thinking hard. B．Silence will make the other person comfortable. C．Asking questions will keep a conversation going better. 64．What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A．You will be good at communication if you reach out your hand. B．Good communication skills can be learned if you try your best. C．Not all people can learn good communication skills. 65．What is the best title of the passage? A．How to Begin a Conversation B．Relaxation and Conversation C．How to Communicate Well 第二节 阅读还原（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）根据短文内容，从下面方框中选择恰当的选项补全短文。 You have already known that doing exercise is good for you.

That 96 students should pay as much attention to sports as other subjects. But lots of students don’t care more about sports. In middle schools in America, 97 have to run a mile if they want to pass the P.E. tests. They are timed (计时), and many students compare their times with 98 . It might be difficult for students who haven’t got enough exercise to run the complete mile. They have to finish by 99 ! Students who are out of shape (状况不佳) have difficulty 100 after running! They get poor grades and some of them even have to take the class again. For the 7th and 8th grade students, I think you still have plenty of time to get interested in sports. There are many 101 sports to try. As you know, the P.E. exam could include football, basketball, and volleyball in the coming years. Make sure you can 102 some sports that interest you! Doing sports is of great 103 to our health. And there are many advantages to get fit! You will feel better and look better. You won’t have to rush to get ready for your P.E. exams when you become a 9th grade student. The 104 important is that you won’t be trying to catch your breath while other students go quickly past you in physical 105 and life! So I’d say: Don’t wait until you enter Grade Nine or before the exam! Start now! 第四节 书面表达（15分） 你的学校正在进行征文，关于“How to be a good student”，以此为题，写一篇不少于80词的短文。 提示： 1. 作为青少年，我们应该与父母和同学友好相处；我们应该习惯自己解决问题。 2. 我们应该理解父母。父母为我们提供了一个干净舒服的环境，但他们也有很多来自工作上的压力，我们要和父母多沟通，并和他们分担家务。 3. 我们应坚持阅读，因为它对我们的未来有很大的影响。 4. 在我们的业余时间，我们可以去敬老院当志愿者，做一些有意义的事可以让我们更快乐。 要求: 1. 文中必须包含所给的所有信息，可适当发挥。 2. 语言通顺，条理清楚，书写规范。 3. 词数：不少于80词。 How to be a good student ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 2页 /共 2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
