Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·佛山模拟)Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: “Did they like me or were they just being polite?” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored?”
To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterward, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked.
Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company — a false belief we call the “liking gap”.
This bias (偏见) may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions, but its effects extend far beyond a first impression. Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with coworkers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together.
There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you're zeroed in on the other person, and the less you're focused on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn't do well.

(2025·盐城模拟)Passiveaggressive (消极抗拒) behaviour can feel “normal”—especially if it's how we've grown up seeing others around us deal with relationship issues. Whether done verbally (言语上) or nonverbally, passive aggression is meant to avoid hurting someone else's feelings, escape conflict, or show disagreement without being outspoken in it.
It's a more common way of dealing with things than you might think. But why are we passiveaggressive? What are the signs we can look out for to recognize being passiveaggressive? And how does it affect us?
There are many reasons why someone might display passiveaggressive behaviour, including insecurity or fear of losing control, as well as using it as a way to handle feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression. It can also be a way to try to deal with rejection or conflict, because of feelings of underappreciation, or due to worry that any natural feelings of anger aren't the right response, and so it becomes an attempt to sugarcoat things.
We almost all exhibit signs of passive aggression from time to time, but when it becomes a habit within our relationships, it can become upsetting for the other person involved, causing a divide. And for the person exhibiting this behaviour, their inability to say what is wrong clearly can often worsen the issue as it isn't being dealt with directly. Ultimately, passive aggression prevents change and growth, leading to more negative behaviour, the breakdown of trust, and further relationship problems.
Admitting that you have a problem and need to change is not just good for your relationship, but also a huge help in your life. If you're struggling and aren't sure where to begin, ask yourself “Could I unintentionally (or intentionally) be hurting my relationship? Is it worth saving my relationship, or do I want to risk things getting worse? Would I be happy if my partner acted the way I've been acting?”
Change doesn't happen overnight, but, with time and effort, you can find new, healthier ways of communicating how you are feeling, and start to strengthen the bonds within your relationship.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,文章解释了消极抗拒这种人际交往中的新现象,分析其产生的原因及其可能造成的其他后果并提出了有效解决它的建议。
5.What is the possible passiveaggressive response to displeasure?
A.Turning to rude languages.
B.Displaying violent behaviour.
C.Hiding his true inner feelings.
D.Coming into conflict with others.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Whether done verbally ...without being outspoken in it.”可知,为避免对他人产生伤害,避免冲突以及间接地表现出分歧,就要隐藏人内心的真实感受。
6.What can we learn about passiveaggressive people?
A.They are sometimes overconfident in themselves.
B.They believe conflicts should be resolved directly.
C.Their passiveaggressive behaviour doesn't last long.
D.Their behaviour likely leads to more negative results.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Ultimately, passive aggression prevents change and growth, leading to more negative behaviour, the breakdown of trust, and further relationship problems.”可知,消极的抗拒行为是其他负面行为的根源,他们的行为可能会导致更多负面的结果。
7.What do the underlined words “the issue” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The behaviour. B.The divide.
C.The inability. D.The habit.
解析:选B 指代猜测题。根据第四段内容可知,issue这里指代的不是behaviour,因为这里的behaviour指代的是passive aggression,则issue应该指代的是上句中的divide (分歧),说明“让对方感到不安从而造成的分歧”带来了很多负面的结果,这通过本段最后一句由passive aggression造成的后果可以得到印证。
8.What should you do to make a change?
A.Start with a selfreflection.
B.Apologize to the other side.
C.Copy how the partner acts.
D.Let time cure everything.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,作者认为从自我反省开始才能做出改变。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2025·安徽部分重点高中模拟)Phone call anxiety is on the rise, with a quarter of 18-24 year olds avoiding picking up the phone. 9 The avoidance of phone calls isn't just a preference; it's a reflection of anxiety. The immediacy and directness of a phone call, without the ability to carefully respond as in textbased communication, can be discouraging.
10 Even traditional forms of speaking can set off a release of oxytocin, which helps reduce social anxiety symptoms. However, in the absence of physical cues (提示) and the comfort of a known audience, phone calls can worsen these anxieties, making the experience feel more intense.In facetoface interactions, we rely heavily on gestures, facial expressions, and body language to interpret messages, which are absent in phone conversations. 11
The fear of making and receiving phone calls can have negative effects on both your personal and professional lives. 12 Although answering the phone and making calls may seem like a simple task that everyone should be able to do, suffering from phone call anxiety can be terrifying and real.
While it's understandable why phone calls can feel awkward in today's digital age, it's essential to recognize the value they hold in effective communication and relationship building. As we navigate this “phone anxiety pandemic”, it is crucial to encourage and relearn the art of phone conversation, balancing the ease of texting with the depth and authenticity of a realtime voice call. 13
A.This anxiety is not entirely new.
B.Who are reluctant to pick up phones?
C.Why are we making fewer phone calls?
D.It represents a sense of being separated.
E.Therefore, it is important to take phone anxiety seriously.
F.This can lead to misunderstandings and a feeling of disconnect.
G.This balance is key to establishing good relationships in increasingly digital world.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电话焦虑症正在上升,但是教会年轻一代电话交谈的艺术以及培养人际关系至关重要;分析了电话焦虑症产生的原因、克服电话焦虑症的重要性,以及克服电话焦虑的方法。
9.选C 上文提到,电话焦虑症正在上升,许多年轻人避免打电话;下文则阐述了人们不愿打电话的原因;C选项“为什么我们打电话越来越少了?”针对上文的现象提出疑问,且下文的内容是对这一问题的解答。
10.选A 根据下文特别是“phone calls can worsen these anxieties, making the experience feel more intense”可知,这种焦虑在传统的交流方式中已经存在,只不过打电话加剧了这些焦虑。故A选项“这种焦虑并不完全是新的”符合语境。
11.选F 根据上文可知,电话交谈中缺乏那种面对面交流时表情、手势或者肢体语言对信息的提示与解释;F选项“这会导致误解和疏离感”承接上文,解释了结果。
12.选E 上文指出,对接打电话的恐惧会对个人生活和职业生活产生负面影响;E选项指出认真对待电话焦虑很重要,与上文构成因果关系,符合语境。
13.选G 根据上文可知,在短信与实时语音通话之间取得平衡至关重要; G选项“这种平衡是在日益数字化的世界中建立良好关系的关键”承接上文,阐述该平衡的重要作用。选项中的“This balance”与前一句中“balancing the ease of texting with the depth and authenticity of a realtime voice call”相呼应。
