Yesterday afternoon, she saw a cool boy 4 (play) the violin happily by the road. The music sounded so nice that she stopped. 5 Alice didn’t know what music he was playing, it made her feel better. After he finished the music, Alice walked over to him and said, “Thank you for your beautiful music. It gets me out of the 6 (real) bad mood (心情).” Then she took out some money and gave it to him. To her 7 (surprised), the boy asked her to take the money back. He explained that he wasn't making money by playing the violin. He just wanted to help others. He hoped that the wonderful music could make people feel 8 (relax) and happy. Then Alice told him about her trouble. He said, “You should learn to smile even if you are in difficulty.

Do you find it hard to have a conversation with a 1 (strange)? If so, the following 2 (tip) may help you to make better conversations. First, you should listen 3 (careful) and show interest in others. For example, if people tell you their hobby and you can ask questions about it. They will surely be happy 4 (continue) their conversation. Second, you should choose the right topic. Some of 5 best topics might be the weather, sport, music, food or travel.

As we know, friendship plays an important part in our life. 1 friendship may mean something different from one country to another, people from all over the world think 2 (share) something with their friends is a good way to make them happier. Many studies show that people will forget their 3 (problem) and feel better if they spend time with their friends. We are all part of society. We all need friends. When we have problems, we’re halfway to solving a problem just 4 talking to our friends about it. If our friends are similar to us, they can always touch our hearts and make us 5 (laugh) easily because they know us well. We don’t need to guess what our friends are thinking about. It seems that we can see each other’s hearts clearly. If our friends are different from us, it’s a good idea 6 (help) each other. We can bring out 7 (good) in each other as long as we keep learning from each other. So you see, a good friend should be someone who 8 (true) cares about us. Two years ago, I made friends with Lucy.

How to communicate better Communication is an important part of our lives. It helps us build good relationships with others. But how can we communicate 1 ? Here are some useful tips.

Also, try to be clear when we speak. Don’t use words that are too 7 for others to understand. Third, pay attention to our body language. Sometimes, our body can 8 more than our words.

Earlier, only face-to-face communication was possible, but with the development of technology, we now have the phone, email, video calls and so on. It has become easier and much cheaper to communicate or have a conversation. We can easily communicate with our loved ones, whether they’re close or far away. Face-to-face communication includes direct personal interaction (互动). Both parties can see each other’s body language and facial expressions, and understand them easily, leading to more effective communication. A study has shown that in our day-to-day life when we interact with someone face to face, we have a nonverbal (非言语的) communication of about 93%. In addition, face-to-face communication is more effective in building trust and making deeper connections. But considering the long distance (距离) and time cost, face-to-face communication may not be the best choice. So there, telephone, email, etc. are preferred. Without telephone conversation, some work may be difficult to get done in time. The conversation varies depending on what relationship you have with the caller. For example, it will be informal (非正式的) if you talk to your close friends or relatives. But if you are having a professional telephone conversation, then it will be formal. You must have a lot of practice and confidence to interact with the caller. Telephone conversations have no nonverbal cues (暗示), but they offer the convenience of communicating from a distance and at any time. Also, as they cannot see each other, both parties can speak without being under pressure. So, which do you prefer? 27．According Paragraph 1, what makes communication easier and cheaper? A．The growth of population. B．The improvement of education. C．The development of technology. 28．What are the advantages of face-to-face communication? ① Building trust.                      ② Making deeper connections. ③ Interacting directly.                  ④ Communicating from a distance. A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ 29．What does the underlined word “varies” mean in Paragraph 3? A．变化 B．支持 C．模仿 30．What’s the best title of the text? A．The Power of Face-to-face Communication B．The Strength of Telephone Communication C．Communication Choices: Face to face vs. Telephone 2. We are pleased to announce (宣布) the results of our competition to create a new school festival for students to celebrate this year. This competition, which we have had twice, has been a huge success. But this year, we have had more entries (参赛作品) than ever before. We have received many wonderful suggestions, including one that suggested there should be a festival of shoes! This was certainly a creative idea, but not surprisingly, our judges (裁判) liked other suggestions more! The winning suggestion was from Henry Chan, who suggested that there should be a festival of bicycles. It was the judges’ favorite. Henry, who is in Grade Eight, said that he went to school by bicycle every day and enjoyed taking bicycle trips very much. He added that so many public (公共的) bicycles were in use in our city that it would be a shame not to celebrate them. As part of the festival, a bicycle trip will be organized in the city. Then students will hold a ten-meter bicycle riding competition, in which anyone who can ride the slowest wins. What’s more, you students are called on to ride bicycles to school as often as possible. The Bicycle Festival will start on June 18th and last two days. We hope you will take part in the festival and do your bit to protect our environment. 1.How many times has the competition been held till now? A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times. 2.What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Ideas. B. Shoes. C. Bicycles. D. Competitions. 3.After this year’s Bicycle Festival, what will happen most probably? A. Fewer people will use public bicycles. B. More students will ride bicycles to school. C. The Bicycle Festival will be held each year. D. Bicycle trips will be organized in other cities. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. Care for the environment. B. Entries from creative students. C. Suggestions to the students. D. Results of a competition. 3. When someone has a sharply different viewpoint from our own, we naturally choose two common ways, either avoiding a conversation with that person or trying to convince (说服) them that they are wrong. Research shows there is another way: using receptive (接纳性的) language, showing that we are truly interested in a new point of view. Many of us try to avoid disputed (有争议的) discussions. We prefer to talk with someone with similar opinions. This happens because we usually think that talking to someone who has disagreements will be more unpleasant than it actually is. When we do have to talk with people holding different views, we typically try to convince them to give up their beliefs because we think we are right and try to “win” the argument. And the other side is likely to think the same way, which leads to even more difficult problems to work through. A more effective method is being conversationally receptive. Research shows that when we appear receptive to others’ different views, our arguments sound more convincing. Receptive language can also make those with whom we disagree more receptive in return. It makes us more likable, and others more interested in partnering with us. Researchers suggested three tips that can help us improve conversational receptiveness in even the most heated disagreements. Recognise (承认) the other person’s point of view. Say “I understand that…” or “I believe what you’re saying is…” to show that you take an active part in the conversation and find value and even trust in their points. Hedge your statements. When we talk, we usually hold the opinion that we should be strong and confident and express our views in a direct forceful (强有力的) way. But if we show that we are not so sure about our beliefs, our views will be likely to be better received. Express your arguments in an acceptable way. You might say “Let’s consider the possible benefits of having fewer people working on the project.” rather than “We should not add more people to the project.” The second sentence sounds unpleasant, showing that the speaker is not open to the possibility of further discussion. By following these tips in our communication, we’ll be more likely to have an effective conversation and bridge the differences. 1．According to the passage, being conversationally receptive can lead to ______. A．useful communication B．creative opinions C．clear confidence D．different opinions 2．The words “Hedge your statements.” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “______”. A．explain your reasons clearly B．raise your questions politely C．voice your ideas less forcefully D．express your excuses more directly 3．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To stress the importance of productive communication. B．To introduce a better way to deal with disagreements. C．To explain the reasons for using receptive language. D．To provide three effective tips to win an argument. 4．Where can you most possibly read this article? A．A science book B．A story book C．A social science magazine D．A guide book 4. Talking to friends, family or workmates can make us feel happy. Not talking to others can also hurt our mind and body. A group of researchers found that just talking once a day could make people feel happier and less stressed. Jeffrey Hall, one of the researchers, said, “We can change how we feel by talking. Just one conversation can help.” The researchers found that sharing jokes, listening to others, talking about recent events, giving real compliments (称赞) and caring for others could help people feel better. The researchers asked more than 900 people at five universities in the US to have one of these conversations every day. The people then said how they felt after talking. The researchers found that even one good conversation could make people feel better. But the people had better days after they had more good conversations. Hall said, “This means that the more you listen to your friends, care for them, and value their opinions, the better you feel at the end of the day.” The researchers also said that meeting and talking face—to—face was better for our health and happiness than talking on the phone or social media (社交媒介). 1．Which of the following can’t make you feel better? A．Sharing jokes. B．Listening to others. C．Saying nothing. D．Talking about recent events. 2．Which one is TRUE according to the passage? A．Only talking to friends can make us feel happy. B．Everybody needs to talk just once a day. C．Researchers found that caring for others could help people feel better. D．Don’t value your friends’ opinions if you want to feel happy. 3．What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “stressed” in Paragraph 1? A．激动的 B．焦虑不安的 C．劳累的 D．重读的 4．Which part of a magazine does the text probably come from? A．History. B．Science. C．Health. D．Food. 5．What’s the best title for this text? A．How to Make Friends B．How to Make Us Happy C．Talking on the Phone Makes Us Feel Happy D．Talking to Others Can Make Us Feel Happy 5. ①When we talk about communication, we often think of communicating with others. But do you know that we also communicate with ourselves from time to time? Imagine this: your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes (薄饼), bread, porridge…You think it will be great to have pancakes. Before you tell your mom what you want to eat, you’re communicating with yourself. ②This kind of communication is called intrapersonal communication (自我沟通). This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. ③Intrapersonal communication plays a big role in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication can help 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 to keep an eye on your mind and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative (消极的) ideas and feelings, you’ll try to cheer up and throw away these bad ideas and feelings. ④What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your mind and feelings better makes you put yourself in other’s shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then you can better understand and get on with them. ⑤All in all, developing good intrapersonal communication skills is important for our personal growth and relationships with others. 1．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．By showing some news. B．By providing a number. C．By giving an example. D．By asking some questions. 2．What can we know about intrapersonal communication from Paragraph 3? A．Its history. B．Its tradition. C．Its problems. D．Its good points. 3．What does the underlined English phrase “put yourself in other’s shoes” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Other people can understand what your opinion is. B．Imagine how someone else feels in the same situation. C．Put on other people’s shoes to see if they are fit for you. D．Say “no” to other people’s idea, although they might be right. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Different Ways of Communication. B．Learn to Communicate With Yourself. C．How to Communicate Better With Others. D．Throw Away Negative Feelings Through Communication. 4、 任务型阅读。 1. It is easier to agree than to disagree. The following tips can help people solve disputes (争端). Don’t make it personal. If you get upset, it can help to remember that you’re mad at the person’s idea, not the person. Never criticize (批评) others’ ideas. You’d better not say “That’s a stupid idea.” Try “I don’t really agree, and here is why.” Never shout loudly and you will have a much better chance of getting your idea across. Use “I” statements (陈述) to communicate how you feel and what you think. Using “you” statements can sound argumentative (好争论的). For example, telling your mum “You always remind me about my chores when I have a lot of homework.” has a very different tone (语气) from “I’m under pressure because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?” Listen to the other point of view. When the other person is talking, try to stop thinking about why you disagree or what you will say next. Instead, focus on what is being said. When it is your turn to talk, repeat any key points the other person made to show you have paid attention to what was said. Then express why you disagree. Stay calm. This is the most important thing you can do to make a conversation go on well. 1．What can these tips do according to the text? 2．Which expression in the text means that you are criticizing the other’s idea? 3．Why shouldn’t we use “you” statements? 4．What should we do when the other person is talking? 5．What is the most important thing to do to make a conversation go on well? 2. When Hill was young, he was a famous bad boy. At the age of 9, his father married his stepmother (继母). At that time they lived a poor life in the countryside but his stepmother was from a rich family. His father told his stepmother, "Dear, I hope you notice this is the worst boy in the entire shire (整个郡). He made me have no other ways. Maybe before tomorrow morning he will throw a stone (石头) at you, or do a bad thing you will never imagine." To Hill’s surprise, his stepmother went up to him with a smile, held up his head and looked at him carefully. She then turned around to tell her husband, "You’re wrong. He is not the worst boy in the entire shire, but the cleverest and most creative boy. He just doesn’t find a place to show himself." His stepmother’s words warmed his heart. His eyes were full of tears. Because of this, he started forming friendship with his stepmother. Before his stepmother came, no one praised (赞扬) him as a smart boy. His father and neighbors saw him as a bad boy. However, his stepmother’s words became the drive (动力) of his life. His stepmother cheered him up. He understood his stepmother’s strong feeling of interest in his family because he saw with his own eyes. She changed his family. So he would do as well as she expected him to. The strength from his stepmother made him a rich man and famous writer in the United States and one of the most important people in the 20th century. Praise will always be necessary for children. A little praise may be better than 10,000 bad words. 1. What did Hill’s stepmother think of him?（不超过20词） ________________________________________________________________________ 2. How did Hill feel when he heard his stepmother’s words?（不超过5词） ________________________________________________________________________ 3.

They did almost everything together. Then one day, after a misunderstanding (误解), Joyce stopped talking to Jessica. For more than three months, Joyce refused to talk to Jessica or answer her notes. “During that time, I found out what an important friend she was,” Jessica says, “I couldn’t even give all my attention to my study. I just thought about how to heal (修复) our friendship.” The next term, Jessica tried again. This time, Joyce was also happy to work it out. It took some time and hard work, but the friendship was healed. Most of us have suffered the pain of broken friendships. But the good news is that most friendships can be healed. Oxford professor Michael Argyle recently finished a 15-year study that found out what makes people happy. What did he find? The key to happiness is having one close relationship and a network of friends. Other studies show that our social connections make us healthier. Keeping a healthy friendship is worth the hard work! If there’s a broken friendship you’d like to heal, try the following advice: > Try to see things from your friend’s point of view. > Talk about the problems openly but kindly. At first, Jessica didn’t understand why Joyce stopped talking to her. Then Joyce finally explained that Jessica’s trick made her upset. “I finally found out she was angry because I made fun of her in front of the boys in our class,” Jessica explained. Jessica meant nothing by her trick and thought it shouldn’t make Joyce upset. But when she realised it was embarrassing (令人难堪的) to Joyce, she stopped. Then their friendship could be healed.

The 19th Asian Games were held in Hangzhou. Players from all over the world played against each other. However, as we say in China, “Friendship first, competition second.” How can players have both? Let’s share two students’ ideas about it. Weng Youran, 15 When I was little, I was in a swimming club with my best friend. One day, our city’s swimming team came to pick young swimmers. She got in but I didn’t. So I left the club and didn’t say goodbye. I felt that she was not my best friend anymore. Years later, I heard that she didn’t join the city’s team only because of me. Surprised, I called her. She said, “I’ve waited for this call for too long.” Then, we were back to be friends again. Until then, I realized communication is also important in sports world. Wang Jiani, 16 You’re the best player in a long jump competition. The player in second place made mistakes in the first two jumps. Now, it’s his or her jump. And you can teach him or her not to make the same mistakes. Would you do it? Most people would say no because they want to win. But during the Olympic Games in Berlin, the number one player, Luz Long did so. He showed the second place player Jesse Owens the right place to jump. Jesse listened to Luz and finally won the game! This showed us that competition was also about respect, fairness and friendship. 1．What did Weng Youran do when her friend got in the team? . 2．What did Weng Youran realize years later? 3．What did Luz Long do to help Jesse Owens? 4．Who finally won in the long jump competition? 5．Do you think Luz Long is right? Why? 5. 阅读文章，用恰当的短语或句子补全概要。补全部分总词数不超过30词，不能照抄原文连续超过3个词。 Many people choose to leave their towns and villages to search for work in the city.

As they grow up, they need to learn 8 to communicate with others. So, school becomes a(n) 9 place in forming teenagers’ characters. On the one hand, school is where teenagers learn to read and write, 10 they can learn good manners from teachers. On the other hand, 11 is also the place where teenagers can meet and learn how to communicate with each other. As teenagers, we all 12 what it means to work in groups every day, and our teachers usually 13 us how important it is to get information.

Earlier, only face-to-face communication was possible, but with the development of technology, we now have the phone, email, video calls and so on. It has become easier and much cheaper to communicate or have a conversation. We can easily communicate with our loved ones, whether they’re close or far away. Face-to-face communication includes direct personal interaction (互动). Both parties can see each other’s body language and facial expressions, and understand them easily, leading to more effective communication. A study has shown that in our day-to-day life when we interact with someone face to face, we have a nonverbal (非言语的) communication of about 93%. In addition, face-to-face communication is more effective in building trust and making deeper connections. But considering the long distance (距离) and time cost, face-to-face communication may not be the best choice. So there, telephone, email, etc. are preferred. Without telephone conversation, some work may be difficult to get done in time. The conversation varies depending on what relationship you have with the caller. For example, it will be informal (非正式的) if you talk to your close friends or relatives. But if you are having a professional telephone conversation, then it will be formal. You must have a lot of practice and confidence to interact with the caller. Telephone conversations have no nonverbal cues (暗示), but they offer the convenience of communicating from a distance and at any time. Also, as they cannot see each other, both parties can speak without being under pressure. So, which do you prefer? 27．According Paragraph 1, what makes communication easier and cheaper? A．The growth of population. B．The improvement of education. C．The development of technology. 28．What are the advantages of face-to-face communication? ① Building trust.                      ② Making deeper connections. ③ Interacting directly.                  ④ Communicating from a distance. A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ 29．What does the underlined word “varies” mean in Paragraph 3? A．变化 B．支持 C．模仿 30．What’s the best title of the text? A．The Power of Face-to-face Communication B．The Strength of Telephone Communication C．Communication Choices: Face to face vs. Telephone 【答案】27．C 28．B 29．A 30．C 【导语】本文主要讨论了面对面沟通和电话沟通的选择及其各自的优缺点。 27．细节理解题。根据“with the development of technology, we now have the phone, email, video calls and so on. It has become easier and much cheaper to communicate or have a conversation.”可知，科技的发展使得沟通变得更容易和更便宜。故选C。 28．细节理解题。根据“Face-to-face communication includes direct personal interaction… leading to more effective communication.”和“face-to-face communication is more effective in building trust and making deeper connections.”可知，面对面沟通的优势包括建立信任、建立更深的联系和直接互动。故选B。 29．词句猜测题。根据“The conversation varies depending on what relationship you have with the caller. For example, it will be informal (非正式的) if you talk to your close friends or relatives. But if you are having a professional telephone conversation, then it will be formal.”可知，谈话内容会随着与来电者的关系而变化，可能是正式的，也可能是非正式的。varies在此处的意思是“变化”。故选A。 30．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了面对面沟通和电话沟通的选择及其各自的优缺点。故最佳标题为“Communication Choices: Face to face vs. Telephone”。故选C。 2.

Henry, who is in Grade Eight, said that he went to school by bicycle every day and enjoyed taking bicycle trips very much. He added that so many public (公共的) bicycles were in use in our city that it would be a shame not to celebrate them. As part of the festival, a bicycle trip will be organized in the city. Then students will hold a ten-meter bicycle riding competition, in which anyone who can ride the slowest wins. What’s more, you students are called on to ride bicycles to school as often as possible. The Bicycle Festival will start on June 18th and last two days.

When someone has a sharply different viewpoint from our own, we naturally choose two common ways, either avoiding a conversation with that person or trying to convince (说服) them that they are wrong. Research shows there is another way: using receptive (接纳性的) language, showing that we are truly interested in a new point of view. Many of us try to avoid disputed (有争议的) discussions. We prefer to talk with someone with similar opinions. This happens because we usually think that talking to someone who has disagreements will be more unpleasant than it actually is. When we do have to talk with people holding different views, we typically try to convince them to give up their beliefs because we think we are right and try to “win” the argument. And the other side is likely to think the same way, which leads to even more difficult problems to work through. A more effective method is being conversationally receptive. Research shows that when we appear receptive to others’ different views, our arguments sound more convincing. Receptive language can also make those with whom we disagree more receptive in return. It makes us more likable, and others more interested in partnering with us. Researchers suggested three tips that can help us improve conversational receptiveness in even the most heated disagreements. Recognise (承认) the other person’s point of view. Say “I understand that…” or “I believe what you’re saying is…” to show that you take an active part in the conversation and find value and even trust in their points. Hedge your statements. When we talk, we usually hold the opinion that we should be strong and confident and express our views in a direct forceful (强有力的) way. But if we show that we are not so sure about our beliefs, our views will be likely to be better received. Express your arguments in an acceptable way. You might say “Let’s consider the possible benefits of having fewer people working on the project.” rather than “We should not add more people to the project.” The second sentence sounds unpleasant, showing that the speaker is not open to the possibility of further discussion. By following these tips in our communication, we’ll be more likely to have an effective conversation and bridge the differences. 1．According to the passage, being conversationally receptive can lead to ______. A．useful communication B．creative opinions C．clear confidence D．different opinions 2．The words “Hedge your statements.” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “______”. A．explain your reasons clearly B．raise your questions politely C．voice your ideas less forcefully D．express your excuses more directly 3．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To stress the importance of productive communication. B．To introduce a better way to deal with disagreements. C．To explain the reasons for using receptive language. D．To provide three effective tips to win an argument. 4．Where can you most possibly read this article? A．A science book B．A story book C．A social science magazine D．A guide book 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要探讨了在面对观点分歧时，如何通过“接纳性语言”（receptive language）进行更有效的沟通。 1．细节理解题。根据“Research shows there is another way: using receptive (接纳性的) language, showing that we are truly interested in a new point of view.”以及“A more effective method is being conversationally receptive…It makes us more likable, and others more interested in partnering with us.”可知，采用接纳性语言可以促进有效沟通。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“But if we show that we are not so sure about our beliefs, our views will be likely to be better received.”可知，“Hedge your statements”指的是不要过于强势地表达观点。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。全文通过分析两种常见应对分歧的方式（回避/说服），重点介绍了第三种更有效的方法——使用接纳性语言，并给出具体建议。故选B。 4．推理判断题。本文讨论的是社交沟通技巧，属于社会科学范畴，最可能出现在社科类杂志。故选C。 4. Talking to friends, family or workmates can make us feel happy. Not talking to others can also hurt our mind and body. A group of researchers found that just talking once a day could make people feel happier and less stressed. Jeffrey Hall, one of the researchers, said, “We can change how we feel by talking. Just one conversation can help.” The researchers found that sharing jokes, listening to others, talking about recent events, giving real compliments (称赞) and caring for others could help people feel better. The researchers asked more than 900 people at five universities in the US to have one of these conversations every day. The people then said how they felt after talking. The researchers found that even one good conversation could make people feel better. But the people had better days after they had more good conversations. Hall said, “This means that the more you listen to your friends, care for them, and value their opinions, the better you feel at the end of the day.” The researchers also said that meeting and talking face—to—face was better for our health and happiness than talking on the phone or social media (社交媒介). 1．Which of the following can’t make you feel better? A．Sharing jokes. B．Listening to others. C．Saying nothing. D．Talking about recent events. 2．Which one is TRUE according to the passage? A．Only talking to friends can make us feel happy. B．Everybody needs to talk just once a day. C．Researchers found that caring for others could help people feel better. D．Don’t value your friends’ opinions if you want to feel happy. 3．What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “stressed” in Paragraph 1? A．激动的 B．焦虑不安的 C．劳累的 D．重读的 4．Which part of a magazine does the text probably come from? A．History. B．Science. C．Health. D．Food. 5．What’s the best title for this text?

But do you know that we also communicate with ourselves from time to time? Imagine this: your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes (薄饼), bread, porridge…You think it will be great to have pancakes. Before you tell your mom what you want to eat, you’re communicating with yourself. ②This kind of communication is called intrapersonal communication (自我沟通). This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. ③Intrapersonal communication plays a big role in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication can help 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 to keep an eye on your mind and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative (消极的) ideas and feelings, you’ll try to cheer up and throw away these bad ideas and feelings. ④What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your mind and feelings better makes you put yourself in other’s shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then you can better understand and get on with them. ⑤All in all, developing good intrapersonal communication skills is important for our personal growth and relationships with others. 1．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1?

Before you tell your mom what you want to eat, you’re communicating with yourself.”可知，作者在第一段通过举例来解释“自我沟通”。故选C。 2．主旨大意题。根据“Good intrapersonal communication can help you to understand yourself better…Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your mind and feelings.”可知，良好的自我沟通能让你更好地了解自己；此外，自我沟通有助于你关注自己的想法和感受。由此可知，从第三段，我们可以了解到自我沟通的优点。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Understanding your mind and feelings better makes you put yourself in other’s shoes when you talk to or listen to them.”可知，这一句是说“更好地理解自己的想法和感受会让你在与他人交谈或倾听时设身处地地为他们着想”，因此划线短语是说“想象一下其他人在同样的情况下的感受”。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。第一段和第二段引出话题“自我沟通”；第三、四段介绍了“自我沟通”的优点；最后一段总结自我沟通对个人成长和人际关系的重要性，选项C结构正确。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文，文章主要围绕自我沟通展开，讲述了自我沟通的概念、好处以及对个人成长和人际关系的重要性，所以“学会与自己沟通”作为标题最合适。故选B。 4、 任务型阅读。 1. It is easier to agree than to disagree. The following tips can help people solve disputes (争端). Don’t make it personal. If you get upset, it can help to remember that you’re mad at the person’s idea, not the person. Never criticize (批评) others’ ideas. You’d better not say “That’s a stupid idea.” Try “I don’t really agree, and here is why.” Never shout loudly and you will have a much better chance of getting your idea across. Use “I” statements (陈述) to communicate how you feel and what you think. Using “you” statements can sound argumentative (好争论的). For example, telling your mum “You always remind me about my chores when I have a lot of homework.” has a very different tone (语气) from “I’m under pressure because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?” Listen to the other point of view. When the other person is talking, try to stop thinking about why you disagree or what you will say next. Instead, focus on what is being said. When it is your turn to talk, repeat any key points the other person made to show you have paid attention to what was said. Then express why you disagree. Stay calm. This is the most important thing you can do to make a conversation go on well. 1．What can these tips do according to the text? 2．Which expression in the text means that you are criticizing the other’s idea? 3．Why shouldn’t we use “you” statements? 4．What should we do when the other person is talking? 5．What is the most important thing to do to make a conversation go on well? 【答案】1．These tips can help people solve disputes. 2．That’s a stupid idea. 3．Because using “you” statements can sound argumentative. 4．We should focus on what is being said. 5．The most important thing is to stay calm. 【导语】本文主要介绍了一些帮助人们解决争端的技巧。 1．根据“The following tips can help people solve disputes.”可知，这些建议的作用是帮助人们解决争端。故填These tips can help people solve disputes. 2．根据“Never criticize the others’ ideas.”和“You’d better not say ‘That’s a stupid idea.’”可知，“这是个愚蠢的主意”这种表达属于对他人想法的批评。故填That’s a stupid idea. 3．根据“Using ‘you’ statements can sound argumentative.”可知，不能使用“你”陈述的原因是其会让人感觉有争论。故填Because using “you” statements can sound argumentative. 4．根据“When the other person is talking, try to stop thinking about why you disagree or what you will say next. Instead, focus on what is being said.”可知，当对方在讲话时，尽量别去想你为什么不同意，也别去想你接下来要说什么。相反，要专注于对方正在说的内容。写出一个答案即可，参考答案为We should focus on what is being said. 5．根据“Stay calm.”和“This is the most important thing you can do to make a conversation go on well.”可知，保持冷静是使对话顺利进行的最重要的事情。故填The most important thing is to stay calm. 2.

Jessica and Joyce were best friends in junior Grade Three. They did almost everything together. Then one day, after a misunderstanding (误解), Joyce stopped talking to Jessica. For more than three months, Joyce refused to talk to Jessica or answer her notes. “During that time, I found out what an important friend she was,” Jessica says, “I couldn’t even give all my attention to my study. I just thought about how to heal (修复) our friendship.” The next term, Jessica tried again. This time, Joyce was also happy to work it out. It took some time and hard work, but the friendship was healed. Most of us have suffered the pain of broken friendships. But the good news is that most friendships can be healed. Oxford professor Michael Argyle recently finished a 15-year study that found out what makes people happy. What did he find? The key to happiness is having one close relationship and a network of friends. Other studies show that our social connections make us healthier. Keeping a healthy friendship is worth the hard work! If there’s a broken friendship you’d like to heal, try the following advice: > Try to see things from your friend’s point of view. > Talk about the problems openly but kindly. At first, Jessica didn’t understand why Joyce stopped talking to her. Then Joyce finally explained that Jessica’s trick made her upset. “I finally found out she was angry because I made fun of her in front of the boys in our class,” Jessica explained. Jessica meant nothing by her trick and thought it shouldn’t make Joyce upset. But when she realised it was embarrassing (令人难堪的) to Joyce, she stopped. Then their friendship could be healed. It’s not strange for friendships to change. Problems come when one friend tries to keep on while the other friend lets go. If your friend isn’t ready to work things out, accept it and move on. 1．Why did Joyce and Jessica stop talking to each other? 2．How did Jessica feel when Joyce didn’t want to talk to her? 3．According to Michael Argyle’s study, what is the key to happiness? 4．If your best friend does not talk to you, what will you do? 【答案】1．Because of a misunderstanding. 2．She felt upset. 3．Having one close relationship and a network of friends. 2．I would try to see things from my friend’s point of view to understand why they are upset.
