When facing problems and worries, some people believe the 2 (bad) thing is to do nothing. Because if we run away from them, we 3 (have) more problems. Then how to deal with our problems? It is useful to find someone you trust to talk to. Don’t keep your worries to 4 (you). Try to talk to others, you will become 5 (certain) less worried. The person doesn’t need to be an expert. Your friends or parents will be OK. They are always there 6 (help) you. We often say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. The more you talk to others, the 7 (few) worries you will get. Maybe you 8 (not solve) your problems like this in the past. But now, just remember: 9 we talk to someone, we’ll feel worse.

It’s also because it’s smart to learn how to approach different 2 (type) of people you’ll meet throughout your life. But really, there’s one super-important reason 3 you should do it. Kids who get along with their teachers can learn more and they’re more comfortable in 4 (ask) questions. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and do 5 (they) best on tests. As a kid in the elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge(海绵), able to take in lots of new and 6 (excite) information. Besides, you’re able to think about all the information 7 new ways. In most cases, your teacher is happy to be the person who’s giving you all materials and 8 (help) you put them together. Remember, teachers are people, too. They feel great if you 9 open to what they’re teaching you.

Sometimes we also use it to say that if you’re good enough, other people 3 (know) it one day even if you don’t speak a lot. 4 a lot of people don’t think speaking skills are important. However, speaking skills actually play 5 important role in our life. With good speaking skills, you can make people learn about you 6 (quick). We need to do a lot of communication through speaking in life. Without proper speaking skills, the 7 (conversation) between you and others may not go well. Then how can you make others understand your ideas and find out your strengths (优势) ? Or at least, it may take much 8 (much) time for them to do so. As a result, although you are very talented, you will find it hard 9 (have) a good job or get a good position in your team. In a word, speaking skills are very important.

One of the most common ways is face-to-face communication. When we talk to our friends, family, or teachers in person, we can see their facial (面部的) expressions, body language, and hear the tone of their voices. This helps us understand not only the words they say but also their emotions. For example, a big smile on someone’s face usually means they are happy. When we’re sharing exciting news with a friend over coffee, face-to-face communication makes the moment even more special. Another form is communication through social media. Platforms like WeChat and QQ allow us to chat with people far away. We can share photos, videos, and ideas easily. However, we can’t see the real-time reactions of the other person. For example, when we post a funny story on WeChat Moments, we have to wait for likes and comments to know how others feel. Phone calls are also popular. We can have a quick conversation when we are busy. But sometimes, it’s hard to express complex ideas over the phone. For example, when we need to explain a detailed plan to a colleague (同事), a phone call might not be enough. In short, each form of communication has its own advantages (优点) and disadvantages. We should choose the right one according to different situations. 1．What is one of the most common forms of communication according to the passage? A．Through social media. B．Through phone calls. C．Face-to-face communication. D．By writing letters. 2．What can we understand from face-to-face communication? A．Only the words people say. B．Emotions of people chatting with us. C．The other person’s past experiences. D．The future plans of the speaker. 3．What does the underlined word “Platforms” mean in Para. 2? A．Tools. B．Places. C．Appearances.

People rely heavily on smartphones, social media, and instant messaging (即时通信) apps. While these tools offer convenience, they also bring some challenges. For example, many people find it easier to express themselves online than in person. However, the lack of face-to-face interaction means that important non-verbal cues (提示) like facial expressions and body language are lost. This can lead to misunderstandings. A simple message like “I’m fine” can be misinterpreted without the right tone of voice or facial expression. Moreover, the constant notifications (通知) from various apps can be a distraction. It’s easy to get caught up in the virtual world and neglect real-life conversations. To communicate better in this digital age, we should limit our screen time, have regular face-to-face conversations, and be more mindful of how we express ourselves online. 1．What is a problem with digital communication? A．It’s too expensive. B．Non-verbal cues are lost. C．It’s too slow. D．There are not enough apps to choose from. 2．Why can the message “I’m fine” be misinterpreted online? A．Because people always lie online. B．Because there is no tone of voice or facial expression. C．Because the apps are not reliable. D．Because it’s a very short message. 3．What does the author suggest doing to communicate better in the digital age? A．Spending more time on social media. B．Ignoring all notifications. C．Limiting screen time and having face-to-face conversations. D．Only using digital communication for work. 4．What does the underlined word “neglect” mean in the passage? A．Pay too much attention to. B．Take good care of. C．Fail to give proper attention to. D．Enjoy very much. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文探讨了数字时代沟通方式的变化及其带来的挑战，如非语言暗示的缺失和即时通信对现实交流的干扰，并给出了改善沟通的建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“the lack of face-to-face interaction means that important non-verbal cues like facial expressions and body language are lost.”可知，数字通信的问题在于缺乏非语言提示。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“A simple message like ‘I’m fine’ can be misinterpreted without the right tone of voice or facial expression.”可知，因为没有语调和面部表情，“I’m fine”这样的信息可能被误解。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“To communicate better in this digital age, we should limit our screen time, have regular face-to-face conversations...”可知，作者建议限制屏幕时间并进行面对面交流。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据“It’s easy to get caught up in the virtual world and neglect real-life conversations.”可知，沉迷虚拟世界会“忽略”现实对话，因此“neglect”意为“未能给予适当关注”。故选C。 Effective communication is crucial in the workplace. It can improve teamwork, increase productivity, and build better relationships between colleagues. One important aspect of workplace communication is listening. When colleagues are speaking, we should give them our full attention, ask questions for clarification, and show that we value their opinions. For example, during a team meeting, if a team member presents an idea, listen carefully instead of thinking about your own response immediately. Another key point is to be clear and concise (简洁的) when expressing your thoughts. Avoid using jargon (行话) or overly complicated language that others may not understand. Use simple and straightforward words to convey your message. Also, choose the right communication channel. For urgent matters, a face-to-face conversation or a phone call is better than an email. 1．Why is effective communication important in the workplace? A．It can make employees work longer hours. B．It can improve teamwork and productivity. C．It can make the workplace more crowded.

One of the most common ways is face-to-face communication. When we talk to our friends, family, or teachers in person, we can see their facial (面部的) expressions, body language, and hear the tone of their voices. This helps us understand not only the words they say but also their emotions. For example, a big smile on someone’s face usually means they are happy. When we’re sharing exciting news with a friend over coffee, face-to-face communication makes the moment even more special. Another form is communication through social media. Platforms like WeChat and QQ allow us to chat with people far away. We can share photos, videos, and ideas easily. However, we can’t see the real-time reactions of the other person. For example, when we post a funny story on WeChat Moments, we have to wait for likes and comments to know how others feel. Phone calls are also popular. We can have a quick conversation when we are busy. But sometimes, it’s hard to express complex ideas over the phone. For example, when we need to explain a detailed plan to a colleague (同事), a phone call might not be enough. In short, each form of communication has its own advantages (优点) and disadvantages. We should choose the right one according to different situations. 1．What is one of the most common forms of communication according to the passage? A．Through social media. B．Through phone calls.

B．Social media is the best way to communicate. C．We should only use face-to-face communication. D．We should choose right communication forms by situations. In today’s digital age, communication has changed significantly. People rely heavily on smartphones, social media, and instant messaging (即时通信) apps. While these tools offer convenience, they also bring some challenges. For example, many people find it easier to express themselves online than in person. However, the lack of face-to-face interaction means that important non-verbal cues (提示) like facial expressions and body language are lost. This can lead to misunderstandings. A simple message like “I’m fine” can be misinterpreted without the right tone of voice or facial expression. Moreover, the constant notifications (通知) from various apps can be a distraction. It’s easy to get caught up in the virtual world and neglect real-life conversations. To communicate better in this digital age, we should limit our screen time, have regular face-to-face conversations, and be more mindful of how we express ourselves online. 1．What is a problem with digital communication? A．It’s too expensive. B．Non-verbal cues are lost. C．It’s too slow. D．There are not enough apps to choose from. 2．Why can the message “I’m fine” be misinterpreted online? A．Because people always lie online. B．Because there is no tone of voice or facial expression. C．Because the apps are not reliable. D．Because it’s a very short message. 3．What does the author suggest doing to communicate better in the digital age? A．Spending more time on social media. B．Ignoring all notifications. C．Limiting screen time and having face-to-face conversations. D．Only using digital communication for work. 4．What does the underlined word “neglect” mean in the passage? A．Pay too much attention to. B．Take good care of. C．Fail to give proper attention to. D．Enjoy very much. Effective communication is crucial in the workplace. It can improve teamwork, increase productivity, and build better relationships between colleagues. One important aspect of workplace communication is listening. When colleagues are speaking, we should give them our full attention, ask questions for clarification, and show that we value their opinions. For example, during a team meeting, if a team member presents an idea, listen carefully instead of thinking about your own response immediately. Another key point is to be clear and concise (简洁的) when expressing your thoughts. Avoid using jargon (行话) or overly complicated language that others may not understand. Use simple and straightforward words to convey your message. Also, choose the right communication channel.

To communicate well is to understand and to be understood. Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information. Good communication skills are keys to success in life, work and relationships. Without effective (有效的) communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, or even disaster. In today’s highly informational and technological environment, it has become more important to have good communication skills. Here are some important steps to communicate effectively. Know what you want to say and why. Understand clearly the purpose of your message. Know to whom you are communicating and why. How will you say it? We all know that it’s not always what you say, but how you say it , that matters. Begin by making eye contact. You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak. Second, pay attention to your body language, since it can say so much more than your words. By standing with your arms easily at your side, you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say. Communication is a two-way street. After you have said what you have to say, stop and listen. Practice your listening skills. Be considerate of others who are talking. listen carefully and never cut them off. 1．What is communication? 2．What can a message turn into if you don’t have effective communication? 3．Why should you pay attention to your body language when communicating? 4．How many steps are mentioned to have an effective communication in this message? 5．What advice will you give about good communication skills? （自拟一句话作答） 六、书面表达 1．某英文网站正在开展以“有效沟通（effective communication）”为主题的征文活动。请你根据以下要点写一篇英文短文投稿。 要点：1.有效沟通的必要性；2.有效沟通的重要性；3.有效沟通的可行性建议。 要求：1.用英语写；2.80词左右；3.文中不得出现真实的人名、学校名。 提示词语： improve, relationship, listen to, respect, express _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1．假设某英文网站举办关于闲聊话题的征文比赛，请你以“How to make small talk?”为题，写一篇100词左右的英语短文参加比赛，短文内容要求先阐述闲聊的优点，再说明如何进行闲聊。 要求： 1.语句表达准确，通顺连贯； 2.短文包括所有提示内容，可再适当发挥； 3.书写认真规范，卷面整洁。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
