Communication is like a key that unlocks good relationships. Last month, my group faced a big problem: we couldn’t agree on how to divide the project work. Some wanted to do research online, while others preferred to interview teachers.

Then we found a solution: we’d do both! If we 19. ______ this idea earlier, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time. During the rest of the project, we used a shared document. Whenever someone had a new idea, they 20. ______ write it down, and others would reply within a day.

三、阅读理解(每小题 2 分,共 20 分)阅读短文,选择最佳答案。
(A)
With more international students joining our schools, communicating across cultures has become common. But it can also bring small misunderstandings. Here are some tips to help:
First, learn about their culture. If you know a little about their customs, you won’t accidentally make them uncomfortable. For example, some cultures think it’s impolite to ask about age, so avoid that topic.
Second, speak slowly and clearly. Don’t use too many slang words (俚语)—international classmates may not understand them. If they look confused, you can say, “Do you need me to explain that again?”
Third, use body language wisely. A smile and a nod mean “friendliness” in most cultures. But be careful: in some cultures, shaking hands too firmly is not polite. A light handshake is safer.
Finally, be patient. If they take time to express ideas, don’t interrupt. Everyone learns to communicate in a new language at their own pace. If you’re patient, you’ll build better friendships.
( )26. Why do we need tips for communicating with international classmates?
A. They speak too fast.
B. Cultural differences may cause misunderstandings.
C. They use too much slang.
( )27. What topic should we avoid with some international classmates?
A. Hobbies B. Age C. Weather
( )28. How should we speak to international classmates?
A. Fast and loudly B. Slowly and clearly C. With lots of slang
( )29. What body language is safe in most cultures?
A. A light handshake B. Shaking hands firmly C. Crossing arms
( )30. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. How to learn a new language
B. Tips for communicating with international classmates
C. Customs of different cultures
(B)
Many people think communication is just “talking”, but active listening is even more important. A recent study shows that people who listen actively have stronger relationships.
What is active listening? It means paying full attention to the speaker, not just waiting for your turn to talk. For example, if your friend talks about a bad day, you can say, “That sounds tough. How did you feel then?” instead of jumping to talk about your own day.
Active listening also includes body language. Leaning forward a little, making eye contact, and nodding occasionally show you’re interested. If you look at your phone while someone talks, they’ll feel ignored.
Why is active listening important? It makes the speaker feel valued. If you listen to your classmates’ ideas in group work, they’ll be more willing to listen to yours too. This helps solve problems faster and builds trust.
Remember, active listening is a skill. If you practice it every day, you’ll become a better communicator.
( )31. What does the study show about active listening?
A. It makes people talk more.
B. It helps build stronger relationships.
C. It’s harder than talking.
( )32. What is active listening?
A. Waiting for your turn to talk
B. Paying full attention to the speaker
C. Talking about your own ideas first
( )33. Which body language shows active listening?
A. Looking at your phone
B. Leaning forward a little
C. Crossing your arms
( )34. Why is active listening important in group work?
A. It makes others value your ideas.
B. It helps finish work faster.
C. It lets you talk more.
( )35. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Active listening is a skill that needs practice.
B. Communication is only about talking.
C. Body language doesn’t matter in listening.
四、短文选句填空(五选五,每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
阅读下面短文,从方框中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Class communication—like group discussions or asking teachers questions—helps you learn better. Here are some easy ways to do it well:
______ When your teacher or classmates talk, put down your pen and look at them. Nod sometimes to show you’re following. If you miss something, wait for a pause and then ask.
______ Sit up straight and smile when you join a group. This tells others you’re friendly and open to their ideas. Slouching (弯腰驼背) may make you seem uninterested.
______ For example, if someone says “Let’s do a survey”, you can say “Do you mean a online survey or a paper one?” This avoids misunderstandings.
______ If two people talk at once, no one can hear clearly. Wait until others finish, then share your thoughts. This shows respect for your classmates.
______ For example, if your group needs to collect ideas, write them in a shared document. Everyone can see and add to it, even if someone is absent.
With these tips, you’ll find class communication easier and more helpful!
A. If you’re not sure about their words, ask gently instead of guessing.
B. Active listening is the first step to good communication in class.

Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear your English drama project is going slowly because of communication problems. Here are some tips for you.
If you make a fixed time for group discussions (like every Friday after school), everyone will know when to join. This avoids missing important talks.
If you use a shared document to write down roles and progress, everyone can see what’s done and what’s next. No one will feel left out.
When you have different ideas, don’t argue. If you listen to your classmates first, you’ll find a way that works for everyone.
I believe these tips will help your group work better. Let me know how it goes!
Yours,
Li Hua
