Your body language is 4.equally(equal)important,since it reveals a lot about your thoughts and attitudes.Additionally,the other person’s body language should not 5.be ignored(ignore),because it will give you clues as to whether the conversation is going well or not.If someone looks at you with a confused 6.expression(express),this could indicate that they have not completely understood your point.
While being knowledgeable about body language 7.is(be) vital,the value of empathy should not be understated.Suppose you are discussing a project 8.with your partner,who has just lost an important basketball game and is inactive.9.To engage(engage) him or her in the discussion and make your communication more effective,you may express your sympathy by,for instance,saying,“I understand how you feel...”

(2022·湖北省长沙市中学高二期中)
I had just delivered a memorable speech,and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance.The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room.I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The thirdplace winner was announced.The name was not mine.Then the secondplace winner,still not me.At last,the moment of truth came.I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation.My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life,and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion.However,it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200mile round trip,get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning,and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group.After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race,he said,“I felt like the 12yearold boy who kicked his toe.I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah,I could relate.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest.After not placing in the first year of the contest,I really wanted to compete again.Lincoln had many failures,but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition,so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year,but again I did not place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on,until I thought about my hero.Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln,I discovered that I can fail successfully.

(2022·盐城市滨海中学高二下学期期中)
My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river.It was lovely for both of us then.Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure.And a trend is catching on:skipgen travel—grandparents taking funfilled vacations with grandkids without their parents along.
A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grandkids as the number one thing when they retire.Skipgen travel gets popular for good reason.Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms.This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas.
“How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them.Actually,I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins,a travel architect and also part of the trend,says.“Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves.It’s not just kids gaining from traveling.Who gets the most out of this? You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic,grandparents who help watch and spend time with grandkids may actually live longer than their peers(同龄人).
It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel.Unlike their children,who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off,grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life,prioritizing experiences and family.So knowing the kids are in great hands,moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves—some muchneeded leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries.
However,skipgen travel is not for every grandparent.After all,grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic.They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren,but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves,for the travel should be a win for everyone involved.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着越来越多祖父母冒险意识的增强,跨代旅游开始流行起来。研究发现,跨代旅游对祖父母、父母以及孩子均大有裨益。
5.Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad?
A.To lead in the trend of skipgen travel.
B.To share the pleasure in going fishing.
C.To stress the importance of family ties.
D.To show the growing interest in adventure.
A [推理判断题。根据第一段中“And a trend is catching on... without their parents along.”可推断出,作者提到自己小时候与爷爷一起抓鱼的经历是为了引出如今祖父母辈与孙辈之间新的相处模式,即跨代旅游。故选A项。]
6.Which of the following may Annie Collins agree?
A.Many parents are too strict with children.
B.Grandparents benefit more from skipgen travel.
C.Spending time with grandparents is better for kids.
D.Children become mature when away from parents.
B [推理判断题。根据第三段中“Actually,I feel on... think it’s them but it’s us.”可推断出,身为祖母和跨代旅游的实践者,Annie Collins认为祖父母辈从跨代旅游中受益更多,故选B项。]
7.What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skipgen travel?
A.They enjoy the moment to relax.
B.They feel less anxious and stressed.
C.They miss their kids very much.
D.They look forward to their own trip.
A [细节理解题。根据第四段中“So knowing the kids are...recharge their batteries.”可知,当孩子与祖父母外出旅游时,父母也能拥有自己的休闲时间,用来放松和休整。故选A项。]
8.What does the author suggest grandparents do?
A.Get kids involved in travel planning.
B.Strengthen the bond with grandchildren.
C.Reduce skipgen travel appropriately.
D.Make decisions in both sides’ interests.
D [细节理解题。根据最后一段中“They surely treasure the chance... win for everyone involved.”可知,作者认为跨代旅游应该是一件双赢的事,只有对祖父母和孩子都有利时才应进行。由此可知,作者建议祖父母做有利于双方利益的决定,故选D项。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2022·河北省唐县第一中学高二期中)
To think positively,you have to stop saying something to yourself that can make you become negative.Here are some examples:
·I’m worthless.
You were born for a reason.Feed it in your mind,and this naturally makes you worthy.Actually,even something as tiny as an ant has an impact on keeping environmental balance. 1 Remember that being worthy is never a choice.It is a birthright.
·I can never be like them.
2 Why do you even want to become like someone else,when you’re perfect at being you? Everybody is unique.Everybody has their own set of challenges.If you dislike something about yourself and like something about others,learn to develop that thing in you.But do not try to mimic(模仿)them or change yourself.
·I’m not good enough.
Says who? Not good enough for whom? 3 It’s not going to benefit you in any way.Start believing in yourself.Instead of saying “I’m not good enough”,try saying “I’m smart enough and I have what it takes to be”.
·I’m a loser.
You’re a loser if you say so.Stop hurting yourself. 4 Every successful story has a trial of failures.So you should learn from them and try again.
· 5
No matter what you do,people always have something to talk about you when you leave the room.So,why care? Don’t give them the chance to destroy your dreams.For once,do what your heart wishes for,and you’ll feel free.
A.I can’t believe what happened.
B.Be grateful for the little things in life.
C.So you have no need to doubt yourself.
D.What they think and say about me matters.
E.Saying such things to yourself will just put you down.
F.Every mistake you make teaches you ways of what not to do.
G.The biggest mistake we make is to compare ourselves with others.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些让你会变得消极的话,并指出:想要积极地思考,必须停止对自己说那些会让你变得消极的话。

4.F [根据下文“Every successful story has a trial of...and try again.”可知,F项中“Every mistake”对应下文的“Every successful story”。故选F。]
5.D [本空为段落小标题。根据下文“Don’t give them the chance to...and you’ll feel free.”可知,本段和在意别人的看法有关。D项中的“they”指的是下文中的“people ”。故选D。]
