Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分)
A
难度:☆☆
The word listen,as is shown in Longman Dictionary,means paying attention to what someone is saying or to a sound that you can hear.Listening is definitely an important skill in communication.“When people talk,listen completely.” Those words of Ernest Hemingway might be a pretty good guiding principle for many managers.After all,people like being listened to.
Some firms use a technique known as a “listening circle”.In such a circle,only one person can talk about the issues they face at a time and there is no interruption.A study cited in the Harvard Business Review found that employees who had taken part in a listening circle subsequently suffered less social anxiety and had fewer worries about work-related matters than those who did not.
Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender,who was a hostage (人质) negotiator,dealing with everything from suicide intervention to international kidnap (绑架).He defines listening as “the identification,selection and interpretation of the key words”.It is crucial to all effective communication.
Plenty of people think that good listening is about nodding your head or keeping eye contact.But that is not really listening,Mr.Mullender argues.A good listener is always looking for facts,emotions and indications of the other person's values.Another important point to bear in mind is that,when you talk,you are not listening.The listener's focus should be on analysis.
Of course,a listener needs to speak occasionally.One approach is to make an assessment of what the other person is telling you and then check it with them.For example,you can check with the other person by saying “It seems to me that what you want is...”.That gives the other party a sense that they are being understood.“The fundamental aim is to build up a relationship so the other person likes you and trusts you,”Mr.Mullender says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成功倾听的秘诀。
1.What can we learn about a “listening circle”?( )
A.A listening circle focuses on personal issues.
B.In a listening circle,a speaker won't be interrupted.
C.A listening circle increases worries about work-related matters.
D.Employees get rid of social anxiety by taking part in a listening circle.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some firms use a technique known as a ‘listening circle’.In such a circle,only one person can talk about the issues they face at a time and there is no interruption.”可知,在“倾听圈”中,说话者不会被打断。故选B项。
2.What's Mr.Mullender's attitude to speaking occasionally when listening?( )
A.Critical. B.Opposed.
C.Cautious. D.Favorable.
解析:D 观点态度题。根据最后一段可知,对于倾听时偶尔说话,Mullender先生的态度是支持的。故选D项。
3.Why should we be good listeners?( )
A.To be liked and trusted by the other person.
B.To check our assessments with the other person.
C.To make assessments of what the other person is saying.
D.To have a sense of being understood by the other person.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘The fundamental aim is to build up a relationship so the other person likes you and trusts you,’Mr.Mullender says.”可知,我们要成为好的倾听者,是为了被对方喜欢和信任。故选A项。
4.What's the best title for the text?( )
A.The Analysis of a Listening Circle
B.The Tricks of Successful Listening
C.The Misunderstanding of Listening
D.The Necessity of Effective Listening
解析:B 标题归纳题。根据第一段、倒数第二段中“A good listener is always looking for facts,emotions and indications of the other person's values.”以及最后一段中“Of course,a listener needs to speak occasionally.”可知,本文主要介绍了成功倾听的秘诀,所以“成功倾听的秘诀”可以作为文章标题。故选B项。

难度:☆☆☆☆
When adult humans meet a baby,many can't help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的),sing-song voice.This shift,known as parentese,is not unique to humans—it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas.Now,scientists are adding one more species to that list:bottlenose dolphins.
Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups.They communicate in a unique way:every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card,usually by its first birthday.But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle?For babies,it might have something to do with listening to Mum.To solve this mystery,researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins make.
Scientists studied 34 years' worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins.When the mother dolphins were near their young,they continued to make their signature sound,but at a higher frequency.They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby.
This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls by themselves.Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own,it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate.At the very least,the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies' attention.“It's important for a baby to know,‘Oh,Mum's talking to me now,’” says marine biologist June Mann.
This kind of research could help us understand how language developed in humans.“It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate,” says Mann.“I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others,which is what happens in humans.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。当成年人类遇到婴儿时,许多人会情不自禁地用更高音调和高低起伏的声音说话。这种被称为“亲子语”的转变并非人类所独有。除了在猴子和大猩猩等动物中也观察到了这种转变之外,宽吻海豚也具有这样的特征。
5.What do the underlined words “this mystery” refer to in paragraph 2? ( )
A.Why dolphins live and play in groups.
B.How dolphins develop their unique sounds.
C.What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess.
D.Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans.
解析:B 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“every individual produces ...usually by its first birthday”可知,每只海豚都会发出自己特有的声音,其作用很像身份证;然后提出疑问“But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle?”。接下来为了解决这个谜,研究人员检查了海豚妈妈发出的声音。故this mystery指的是海豚如何发展出独特的声音,故选B。
6.How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins?( )
A.By analyzing mother dolphins' sound features.
B.By recording parent-child interaction frequencies.
C.By measuring the distance between parent and child.
D.By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“To solve this mystery,researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins make.”以及第三段的分析可知,研究人员是通过分析海豚妈妈的声音特征来研究海豚的,故选A。
7.What is a suggested reason why dolphin mothers use parentese with their young?( )
A.To help them learn to talk.
B.To teach them hunting skills.
C.To express worry and care.
D.To distract their attention.
解析:A 细节理解题。 根据第四段中的“Since dolphin babies ...this adaptation would help them learn to communicate.”可知,海豚妈妈对待幼崽的这种方式是在帮助他们学会“说话”,故选A。
8.What is the purpose of the text?( )
A.To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins.
B.To illustrate the development of dolphin intelligence.
C.To share new findings about dolphin communication.
D.To highlight the value of studying dolphins' language.
解析:C 写作意图题。本文第一段引出话题“海豚和人类一样用亲子语进行交流”,故本文的目的是分享有关海豚交流的新发现,故选C。
