Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·湖南衡阳部分学校联考)Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language.Body language can be both conscious and unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication.These actions can strengthen the verbal messages you're sending or they can lead to mistrust and confusion—signs of poor communication and misunderstanding. Body language can make interacting with others and expressing yourself much easier, but it can also introduce new challenges.Some nonverbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of us that we don't want others to know.For example, bad posture or fidgeting (坐立不安的) may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend others to know.But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others.Making eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate genuine (真正的) interest.Without these signs, teachers may not be able to assess a student's understanding. When you're speaking sincerely, it's natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions.We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects often using hand signals to show how big or small something is.These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language. It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally.When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye contact, even if you're making a conscious effort, studies have shown that it can make you feel more confident.When speaking to others, practice controlling the impulse (冲动) to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self­esteem.

To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we're better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”．You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately.Next, you pool them and share them among the group without: telling the authors.Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options.By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise. An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile.Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn't hold brainstorming sessions.Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas.A 24­year­old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone.This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save them. Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works.They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation.In brainstorming meetings, it's too easy for participation to become one­sided in favor of the loudest voices.The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation.The goal isn't to be the smartest person in the room.It's to make the room smarter. Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn't end there.Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone.That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas.Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas! [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章大量证据表明，当我们运用头脑风暴共同产生想法时，我们无法最大限度地提高集体智慧。为了挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，我们最好进行“书面头脑风暴法”。 5．What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming? A．It highlights independent work. B．It encourages group cooperation. C．It prioritizes quality over quantity. D．It prefers writing to oral exchanges. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，与头脑风暴相比，书面头脑风暴法的特别之处在于它强调独立工作。故选A。 6．Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3? A．To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting. B．To praise a young man with brainwriting technique. C．To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting. D．To explain the role of brainwriting in communication. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据第三段的首句“An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile.”可知，作者在本段提到智利的采矿事故是为了说明书面头脑风暴法的成功应用。故选C。 7．How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4? A．By blocking the loudest voices. B．By allowing equal involvement. C．By improving individual wisdom. D．By generating more creative ideas. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation.In brainstorming meetings, it's too easy for participation to become one­sided in favor of the loudest voices.The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation.The goal isn't to be the smartest person in the room.It's to make the room smarter.”可知，书面头脑风暴法要求每个人都参与，贡献自己的智慧。因此，通过允许平等参与促进集体智力。故选B。 8．What does the author suggest is necessary to identify the best ideas from a group's brainstorming session in the last paragraph? A．Only focusing on the ideas generated by individuals. B．Making sure that everyone has an equal chance to contribute. C．Allowing each person to review ideas independently before discussing as a group. D．Concentrating on the most unique suggestions put forward by the group. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone.That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas.Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas！”可知，作者建议在讨论作为一个团队之前，每个人都应该有机会独立地发展和评估想法，这样才能更有效地识别出最佳的想法。故选C。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2025·河南驻马店开学考)The best and most amazing thing about life is that no matter what happens or how hard it may be, stay 1 ． All you need to 2 is to do good, even if it may be the smallest thing, like greeting someone with a smile.It can 3 someone's day, and you will have made the smallest 4 biggest difference to their life.
