My name is Kasper and I’m a child-sized robot. I have black hair and always wear a baseball cap.     I am able to move my arms and head. I can also open and close my mouth and eyes. I can even show several basic emotions, such as happiness, sadness and surprise. For example, I smile when I am happy and I frown when I am sad.     I was designed by scientists in 2005. My job is to help children with autism (自闭症) understand emotions and language and know how to get along with people. I am now working in a kindergarten for autistic children. I talk and play with the children about ten minutes once a week. I often speak slowly to them so that they can better understand what I am saying. I like being touched by these children. However, if a child hits me, I will hide my face in my hands and cry out, “Ouch! This hurts.” The child will then know it is wrong to hit others.     You might ask if I have really helped the children learn some social skills. The answer is “YES”. I remember a girl in the kindergarten. She was alone and protected herself by talking with nobody, but now she is willing to hug everyone and has made some friends after playing with me for some time.     As a robot for autistic children, my greatest wish is to become more helpful to them. I believe that scientists will help make my wish come true in the future. 1．The underlined word “frown” in paragraph 2 probably means ________ in Chinese.

One day, a young man and his sister were visiting the West Lake when it began to rain heavily. The pair, together with other visitors, hurried to find shelter in nearby pavilions (亭子). From there, they found out that they could enjoy the beautiful scenery, but they were also sad because ★ . While standing there, the young man noticed the pavilion’s shape and how it protected people from the rain. He got an idea and thought, “Why not make a small and movable ‘pavilion’ that people can carry with them?” The young man was Lu Ban, a famous carpenter (木匠) in ancient China. When he returned home, he began to work. He took some thin bamboo strips and carefully bent them into a round frame (框架). Then, he pasted a piece of oiled paper on the frame. He built a pavilion, then another, and still another. After several tries, he made the first umbrella. From then on, he could take his sister out in any weather. This new thing was light and easy to carry. People could use it to keep off the rain and the sun. Lu Ban’s invention was so useful that it became very popular. It has changed the lives of people in every country on Earth. The umbrella is not only a useful tool, but also a symbol of human wisdom and creativity.

He built a model for a robot that will let people do farm work remotely (远程). When Prince was a young boy, he didn’t share the same interest as the others. He didn’t have many toys at home and seldom played computer games. However, he was interested in playing with blocks to build things whenever he could. One day, Prince’s mom said that there was not enough space in their apartment to grow all her plants, so he started thinking about ways to solve the problem. Then an idea came up, “What if we could grow plants in a different place from where we live?” Prince spent about two to three months building his robot. Before drawing out designs, he had to search for a great deal of information on the Internet. In order to build the robot successfully, he went to the market to buy necessary parts. The robot had everything to help it move around. The last step was doing all the coding (编程) to get the robot to be useful and not just a model. His robot was named GrRobot. It had a camera for live video and a basket to plant seeds. It could decide whether to open the sprinkler (喷洒器) according to the soil conditions. All of these will help farmers do farm work and even some difficult work. Besides this robot, Prince had also invented a game and apps. When asked about the secret to his achievements, he replied, “Seeing people’s lives getting better because of my inventions lets me feel great. I’ll do what I can to solve more people’s problems. And the world may be different with my help.” 1．Why did Prince invent the robot? A．To play computer games at home. B．To solve the problem of their apartment.

Not only can you see his face and hear his voice, but you can also smell the cookies he has just baked. It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but could it actually happen? Smells are created by tiny particles called molecules (分子) that float through the air and reach your nose. Your nose then sends signals to your brain, which recognizes the smell. So, could your phone send smell molecules to you so that you know what it is? Think about how your phone screen works. It doesn’t have every color in the world stored inside it. Instead, it uses just three colors to create millions of different hues and shades. Now imagine something for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent (香味) technology that uses a number of different cartridges (盒；匣), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels (像素) mix red, green and blue to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent mix of pixels, and smells are created in the same way. When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent (通风口) on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With a few cartridges, your phone could create a large number of smells. Creating such a phone faces more challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using a few cartridges. And phones will also need to sense scents near them and change those into digital codes, so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them be safe to breathe. Even though we’re not there yet, maybe one day you’ll be able to not only see and hear your friend’s birthday party over the phone, but also smell the candles they blew out. 1．How do people smell? Put the following sentences in the correct order. ①Tiny particles reach the nose.    ②The brain recognizes the smell. ③The nose sends signals to the brain.    ④Tiny particles float through the air. A．①④③② B．④①③② C．①③④② D．①③②④ 2．By mentioning how phone screens work, the writer tries to ________. A．compare technologies used in showing colours and sending smells B．explain the real possibility of making phones send smells C．show that it is easier to show colours on the screen D．introduce the powerful function of future phones 3．Which of the following correctly describes “cartridges”? A．Three cartridges are needed to make different scents. B．Cartridges are able to sense scents around the phones. C．Cartridges create smells according to the digital scent codes. D．Cartridges play the most important role in making smell phones. 4．Which of the following things CANNOT help people to smell with the phone? A．Pixels. B．A vent. C．Chemicals. D．Cartridges. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．Pixel technology can be used directly to create digital scents. B．Only in science fiction movies can we see people use smell phones. C．Smell phones send digital scent codes to the brain to make us smell. D．A powerful system needs to be developed to make smell phones a reality. 二、U2单元话题热点预测 We spend most of our time with friends we like. Well, what kind of people are welcomed by others, then? There are people that naturally attract (吸引) you. By being with them just once, you start to like them. If you wonder why they attract people and want to be a person like them, you should learn how to develop the traits (特点) that they have. Firstly, everybody wants to be happy, and nobody wants to spend their time with an unhappy person. Well, you see, there is what you call mood linkage. If you are with a happy person, you are more likely to be happy, too. When people choose to spend time with a person, they are more likely to choose those who are cheerful. So if you are a happy person, many people will want to spend their time with you. Next, everybody needs someone to give encouragement (鼓励) to them, because sometimes in our lives we meet failure, sadness, problems and other bad things. So if you always choose to cheer (振奋起来) others up with encouraging words or actions, they will be willing to (乐意) spend time with you. Lastly, you are not a friend if you don’t give a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful to them, no matter what it costs, because when you need help, they will be there for you, too. It feels good if people want to be your friends because of your character (个性). So if you want to attract people, you should learn to develop these traits. 1．What can be an example of “mood linkage” according to the passage? A．You would like to help when someone is in need. B．You will be happy to see someone lose his games. C．You will laugh loudly when you hear funny stories. D．You will be happy when you are with happy people. 2．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．People who are good at encouraging others.

I can’t reach it.” “Ask a friend. Maybe he can help,” the teacher suggested. Tom called another student and stood on his shoulders (肩膀) to reach the branch. “I still can’t reach it, sir,” said Tom sadly after the first try. “Don’t you have more friends?” the teacher smiled. Tom asked more friends to come over. They stood on each other’s shoulders, trying to make a human pyramid (金字塔). But the apple was so high that they couldn’t go higher and the pyramid fell. Tom still couldn’t reach the apple. Then one of the friends went home, brought a ladder (梯子) and Tom finally picked the apple. After getting the apple, the teacher asked, “So, do you understand how many friends a person needs?” “Yes, I do,” Tom said. “Many, so together we can work out any problem.” “Sounds good,” the teacher said. “You need as many friends as you can. Among them, there will be at least one smart person who can think of a good idea, like getting a ladder!” 1．What did the teacher ask Tom to do at first? A．To pick the red apple for him.

Relationships are important for children and can have a great influence on their development at home and at school. Relationship skills, such as communication, teamwork, and the ability to solve problems are valuable skills. Here are some tips on how you can help your children develop these life skills. As children grow and develop, the need for communication skills becomes increasingly important. Communication with family members can be especially difficult when kids are young, but taking time to talk about things that make them sad or happy will help build healthy relationships as they get older. Teach children how to use their words rather than act out physically. For example, say sorry if someone feels hurt by something you said or did. Encourage (鼓励) your children to know what makes them a great teammate and also what they need when working with others. Children who love to have fun and tell jokes may be able to motivate (激励) their friends through a difficult task, but they may need a friend who can stay organized and on task. When kids understand their own skills and what they need from others, they’ll be able to work together with many more people. Kids may feel like peers (同龄人) who do things differently than them are “bad” which isn’t true. Encourage your children to talk about similarities and differences among their friends. You can describe a time as a child or an adult when you were self-aware enough to stand up for what you wanted instead of giving in to what someone else wanted you to do. More than anything, building good relationship skills with the whole family can mitigate (减轻) the effects of peer pressure. Of course, some peer pressure can be positive when it encourages children to take safety risks that move them out of their comfort zone. All in all, kids need parents, teachers and other caring adults to help them learn how they can build healthy relationship skills now and for a lifetime. 1．How does the writer explain the way children use their words properly? A．By telling a story. B．By listing some numbers. C．By giving an example. D．By comparing two facts. 2．What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about? A．When your kids might make mistakes. B．What you can talk about with children. C．How you can help kids solve peer pressure. D．Why you should describe your experience. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1②=Paragraph 2.) A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Relationship skills kids need B．The importance of relationship skills C．Tips on how to keep children healthy D．Useful communication skills for kids ①When we talk about communication (沟通), we often think of talking with others. But do you know that we also talk with ourselves from time to time? For example, your mum asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: sandwiches, bread, milk...You think that it would be great to have sandwiches. Until you tell your mum what you want to eat, you are talking with yourself. ②We call this kind of communication intrapersonal (内心的) communication. This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. ③Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of bad thoughts and sad feelings, you will try to cheer up and get rid of them. ④What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps you to talk with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them. 1．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．He offers some facts. B．He gives an example.

I’m 13 years old and a student at Maple Middle School. I’d like to tell you a little about myself. First, my appearance. I’m quite tall for my age, standing at 165 cm, with short, messy brown hair and bright blue eyes. People often notice my freckles, which I think make me look unique. When it comes to my personality, I’m generally cheerful and outgoing. I love meeting new people and making them laugh. But I can be a bit stubborn at times, especially if I disagree with something. I believe being friendly helps me in school and with my hobbies. Now, about my likes and dislikes. I absolutely adore playing basketball—I have played it every weekend for the past two years, and I’m on the school team. It’s so much fun! I also enjoy reading mystery novels; I have finished over twenty books this year alone. On the other hand, I hate doing chores at home, like washing dishes, because it feels boring and tiring. Another thing I dislike is rainy days; they always ruin my plans for outdoor activities. As for my abilities, I’m good at math—I can solve tricky problems quickly. I have also learned to play the guitar since last summer, and now I can perform simple songs for my family. This skill has boosted my confidence a lot. A key difference between me and my cousin is that he loves quiet activities like painting, while I prefer energetic sports. I have always appreciated this difference because it makes our time together more interesting. In summary, I’m still learning about myself, but I’m proud of who I am and excited for the future. 阅读单选 1．What is one thing Sam hates? A．Playing basketball. B．Reading mystery novels.

He tried different kinds of sports. When he tried sled hockey (雪橇曲棍球) at the age of 7, he found his favorite hobby. “That was it,” says Peter. He is now 16 and a high school student in Chicago. “It’s all I wanted to do.” Peter joined a sled hockey team. By the age of 12, Peter was very good and he started playing in an adult (成人) team.

My name is Kasper and I’m a child-sized robot. I have black hair and always wear a baseball cap.     I am able to move my arms and head. I can also open and close my mouth and eyes. I can even show several basic emotions, such as happiness, sadness and surprise. For example, I smile when I am happy and I frown when I am sad.     I was designed by scientists in 2005. My job is to help children with autism (自闭症) understand emotions and language and know how to get along with people. I am now working in a kindergarten for autistic children. I talk and play with the children about ten minutes once a week. I often speak slowly to them so that they can better understand what I am saying. I like being touched by these children. However, if a child hits me, I will hide my face in my hands and cry out, “Ouch! This hurts.” The child will then know it is wrong to hit others.     You might ask if I have really helped the children learn some social skills. The answer is “YES”. I remember a girl in the kindergarten. She was alone and protected herself by talking with nobody, but now she is willing to hug everyone and has made some friends after playing with me for some time.     As a robot for autistic children, my greatest wish is to become more helpful to them. I believe that scientists will help make my wish come true in the future. 1．The underlined word “frown” in paragraph 2 probably means ________ in Chinese. A．耸肩 B．皱眉 C．瞪眼 D．跺脚 2．According to the passage, Kasper is a robot who can ________. A．help children with autism at a kindergarten. B．work at a hospital for children with autism. C．invent some medicine to help children with autism. D．teach children with autism living skills. 3．If a child hits Kasper, he will ________. A．act as being hurt. B．run away and hide himself. C．ask other children for help. D．report it to the children’s teacher. 4．According to the passage, Kasper will ________. A．achieve all its dreams. B．make friends with common people.

From there, they found out that they could enjoy the beautiful scenery, but they were also sad because ★ . While standing there, the young man noticed the pavilion’s shape and how it protected people from the rain. He got an idea and thought, “Why not make a small and movable ‘pavilion’ that people can carry with them?” The young man was Lu Ban, a famous carpenter (木匠) in ancient China. When he returned home, he began to work. He took some thin bamboo strips and carefully bent them into a round frame (框架). Then, he pasted a piece of oiled paper on the frame. He built a pavilion, then another, and still another. After several tries, he made the first umbrella. From then on, he could take his sister out in any weather.

He built a model for a robot that will let people do farm work remotely (远程). When Prince was a young boy, he didn’t share the same interest as the others. He didn’t have many toys at home and seldom played computer games. However, he was interested in playing with blocks to build things whenever he could. One day, Prince’s mom said that there was not enough space in their apartment to grow all her plants, so he started thinking about ways to solve the problem. Then an idea came up, “What if we could grow plants in a different place from where we live?” Prince spent about two to three months building his robot. Before drawing out designs, he had to search for a great deal of information on the Internet. In order to build the robot successfully, he went to the market to buy necessary parts. The robot had everything to help it move around. The last step was doing all the coding (编程) to get the robot to be useful and not just a model. His robot was named GrRobot. It had a camera for live video and a basket to plant seeds. It could decide whether to open the sprinkler (喷洒器) according to the soil conditions. All of these will help farmers do farm work and even some difficult work. Besides this robot, Prince had also invented a game and apps. When asked about the secret to his achievements, he replied, “Seeing people’s lives getting better because of my inventions lets me feel great. I’ll do what I can to solve more people’s problems. And the world may be different with my help.” 1．Why did Prince invent the robot? A．To play computer games at home. B．To solve the problem of their apartment.

Not only can you see his face and hear his voice, but you can also smell the cookies he has just baked. It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but could it actually happen? Smells are created by tiny particles called molecules (分子) that float through the air and reach your nose. Your nose then sends signals to your brain, which recognizes the smell. So, could your phone send smell molecules to you so that you know what it is? Think about how your phone screen works. It doesn’t have every color in the world stored inside it. Instead, it uses just three colors to create millions of different hues and shades. Now imagine something for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent (香味) technology that uses a number of different cartridges (盒；匣), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels (像素) mix red, green and blue to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent mix of pixels, and smells are created in the same way. When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent (通风口) on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With a few cartridges, your phone could create a large number of smells. Creating such a phone faces more challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using a few cartridges. And phones will also need to sense scents near them and change those into digital codes, so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them be safe to breathe. Even though we’re not there yet, maybe one day you’ll be able to not only see and hear your friend’s birthday party over the phone, but also smell the candles they blew out. 1．How do people smell? Put the following sentences in the correct order. ①Tiny particles reach the nose.    ②The brain recognizes the smell. ③The nose sends signals to the brain.    ④Tiny particles float through the air. A．①④③② B．④①③② C．①③④② D．①③②④ 2．By mentioning how phone screens work, the writer tries to ________. A．compare technologies used in showing colours and sending smells B．explain the real possibility of making phones send smells C．show that it is easier to show colours on the screen D．introduce the powerful function of future phones 3．Which of the following correctly describes “cartridges”? A．Three cartridges are needed to make different scents. B．Cartridges are able to sense scents around the phones. C．Cartridges create smells according to the digital scent codes. D．Cartridges play the most important role in making smell phones. 4．Which of the following things CANNOT help people to smell with the phone? A．Pixels. B．A vent. C．Chemicals. D．Cartridges. 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．Pixel technology can be used directly to create digital scents. B．Only in science fiction movies can we see people use smell phones. C．Smell phones send digital scent codes to the brain to make us smell. D．A powerful system needs to be developed to make smell phones a reality. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了科学家正在研发的数字香味技术，未来手机可能通过混合不同香味盒中的气味来实现远程传递气味的功能。 1．细节理解题。根据“Tiny particles called molecules float through the air and reach your nose. Your nose then sends signals to your brain, which recognizes the smell.”可知气味感知的正确顺序是：④微粒漂浮→①到达鼻子→③传递信号→②大脑识别，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“Think about how your phone screen works…Now imagine something for smells”可知作者通过类比屏幕显示原理来解释气味传输的可能性，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells…your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges”可知香味盒能根据数字代码混合产生气味，故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据全文内容可知，像素（pixels）是用于图像显示的概念，与气味传输无关，故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“Creating such a phone faces more challenges…designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells”可知要实现气味手机需要开发强大的系统，故选D。 二、U2单元话题热点预测 We spend most of our time with friends we like. Well, what kind of people are welcomed by others, then? There are people that naturally attract (吸引) you. By being with them just once, you start to like them. If you wonder why they attract people and want to be a person like them, you should learn how to develop the traits (特点) that they have. Firstly, everybody wants to be happy, and nobody wants to spend their time with an unhappy person. Well, you see, there is what you call mood linkage. If you are with a happy person, you are more likely to be happy, too. When people choose to spend time with a person, they are more likely to choose those who are cheerful. So if you are a happy person, many people will want to spend their time with you. Next, everybody needs someone to give encouragement (鼓励) to them, because sometimes in our lives we meet failure, sadness, problems and other bad things. So if you always choose to cheer (振奋起来) others up with encouraging words or actions, they will be willing to (乐意) spend time with you. Lastly, you are not a friend if you don’t give a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful to them, no matter what it costs, because when you need help, they will be there for you, too. It feels good if people want to be your friends because of your character (个性). So if you want to attract people, you should learn to develop these traits. 1．What can be an example of “mood linkage” according to the passage? A．You would like to help when someone is in need. B．You will be happy to see someone lose his games. C．You will laugh loudly when you hear funny stories. D．You will be happy when you are with happy people. 2．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．People who are good at encouraging others. B．People who are glad to give a hand to others. C．People who have a need for help. D．People who are willing to spend time with you. 3．What trait can help one to attract others? A．Being beautiful. B．Being careful. C．Being strict. D．Being helpful. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?（P1= Paragraph 1） A． B． C． D． 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Ways to Live a Happy Life B．Traits Needed to Attract People C．Notes for Making Friends D．Words for Cheering Others Up 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何通过培养快乐、鼓励他人和乐于助人等特质来吸引他人并成为受欢迎的人。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“If you are with a happy person, you are more likely to be happy, too.”可知，当你和快乐的人在一起时，你也更可能感到快乐。这就是“情绪联动”的例子。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段“You should always be helpful to them, no matter what it costs, because when you need help, they will be there for you, too.”可知，“them”指的是需要帮助的朋友。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据全文内容可知，能够帮助吸引他人的特质包括快乐、鼓励他人和乐于助人。选项中只有“乐于助人”是文中提到的特质。故选D。 4．篇章结构题。文章结构为：第一段引入主题，第二段讲快乐的重要性，第三段讲鼓励他人的重要性，第四段讲乐于助人的重要性，最后一段总结。因此结构应为总分总。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。全文主要介绍了吸引他人需要培养的特质，包括快乐、鼓励他人和乐于助人等。因此最佳标题应为“吸引他人需要的特质”。故选B。 Tom came to his teacher and asked him, “Sir, I have a question. How many friends should a person have—one or many?” “It is very simple,” the teacher answered. “Get me that red apple from the highest branch (树枝) of the tree.” Tom looked up and said, “It’s too high! I can’t reach it.” “Ask a friend. Maybe he can help,” the teacher suggested. Tom called another student and stood on his shoulders (肩膀) to reach the branch. “I still can’t reach it, sir,” said Tom sadly after the first try. “Don’t you have more friends?” the teacher smiled. Tom asked more friends to come over. They stood on each other’s shoulders, trying to make a human pyramid (金字塔). But the apple was so high that they couldn’t go higher and the pyramid fell. Tom still couldn’t reach the apple. Then one of the friends went home, brought a ladder (梯子) and Tom finally picked the apple. After getting the apple, the teacher asked, “So, do you understand how many friends a person needs?” “Yes, I do,” Tom said. “Many, so together we can work out any problem.” “Sounds good,” the teacher said. “You need as many friends as you can.

Relationship skills, such as communication, teamwork, and the ability to solve problems are valuable skills. Here are some tips on how you can help your children develop these life skills. As children grow and develop, the need for communication skills becomes increasingly important. Communication with family members can be especially difficult when kids are young, but taking time to talk about things that make them sad or happy will help build healthy relationships as they get older. Teach children how to use their words rather than act out physically. For example, say sorry if someone feels hurt by something you said or did. Encourage (鼓励) your children to know what makes them a great teammate and also what they need when working with others. Children who love to have fun and tell jokes may be able to motivate (激励) their friends through a difficult task, but they may need a friend who can stay organized and on task. When kids understand their own skills and what they need from others, they’ll be able to work together with many more people. Kids may feel like peers (同龄人) who do things differently than them are “bad” which isn’t true. Encourage your children to talk about similarities and differences among their friends. You can describe a time as a child or an adult when you were self-aware enough to stand up for what you wanted instead of giving in to what someone else wanted you to do. More than anything, building good relationship skills with the whole family can mitigate (减轻) the effects of peer pressure. Of course, some peer pressure can be positive when it encourages children to take safety risks that move them out of their comfort zone. All in all, kids need parents, teachers and other caring adults to help them learn how they can build healthy relationship skills now and for a lifetime. 1．How does the writer explain the way children use their words properly?

But do you know that we also talk with ourselves from time to time? For example, your mum asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: sandwiches, bread, milk...You think that it would be great to have sandwiches. Until you tell your mum what you want to eat, you are talking with yourself. ②We call this kind of communication intrapersonal (内心的) communication. This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. ③Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of bad thoughts and sad feelings, you will try to cheer up and get rid of them. ④What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps you to talk with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them. 1．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．He offers some facts. B．He gives an example.

I’d like to tell you a little about myself. First, my appearance. I’m quite tall for my age, standing at 165 cm, with short, messy brown hair and bright blue eyes. People often notice my freckles, which I think make me look unique. When it comes to my personality, I’m generally cheerful and outgoing. I love meeting new people and making them laugh. But I can be a bit stubborn at times, especially if I disagree with something. I believe being friendly helps me in school and with my hobbies. Now, about my likes and dislikes. I absolutely adore playing basketball—I have played it every weekend for the past two years, and I’m on the school team. It’s so much fun! I also enjoy reading mystery novels; I have finished over twenty books this year alone. On the other hand, I hate doing chores at home, like washing dishes, because it feels boring and tiring. Another thing I dislike is rainy days; they always ruin my plans for outdoor activities. As for my abilities, I’m good at math—I can solve tricky problems quickly. I have also learned to play the guitar since last summer, and now I can perform simple songs for my family. This skill has boosted my confidence a lot. A key difference between me and my cousin is that he loves quiet activities like painting, while I prefer energetic sports. I have always appreciated this difference because it makes our time together more interesting. In summary, I’m still learning about myself, but I’m proud of who I am and excited for the future. 阅读单选 1．What is one thing Sam hates? A．Playing basketball. B．Reading mystery novels.
