This video left a 1 impression (印象) on me. The video started with a simple experiment. The teacher placed a ball on the table and asked two students to describe its 2 . One said it was white, 3 the other insisted (坚持) it was black. They argued, thinking the other was completely wrong. Then, the teacher asked them to change their positions. Surprisingly, their opinions 4 immediately. “You see,” the teacher said, “you were both right, just looking from different 5 ” In fact, the ball has 6 colors, with one side white and the other black. This simple experiment made everyone in the class fall 7 , including me. 8 watching this video, I found it hard to 9 my classmates. I often had different opinions with them, but didn’t know how to 10 them clearly. Therefore I seldom understood them and even argued with them. For example, during a group project, I once strongly believed my idea was the 11 and didn’t listen to others. 12 our group work didn’t go well. However, I thought my classmates made mistakes. But after this experiment, I realize that everyone has their own opinions and strengths. 13 I consider right may not be the same for others. This video taught me a valuable lesson: putting 14 in others’ shoes can help us better understand others and 15 our friendship. From now on, I will try to understand others’ viewpoints before expressing my own, and I believe this will completely improve my relationships with my classmates and make our teamwork win more prizes. 1．A．simple B．deep C．crazy D．fair 2．A．color B．shape C．size D．weight 3．A．besides B．but C．so D．or 4．A．developed B．recorded C．understood D．changed 5．A．directions B．lights C．rides D．journeys 6．A．one B．two C．three D．four 7．A．asleep B．upset C．silent D．nervous 8．A．While B．After C．Before D．Unless 9．A．laugh at B．take care of C．check out D．communicate with 10．A．report B．train C．write D．explain 11．A．worst B．simplest C．best D．brightest 12．A．All the time B．As a result C．At first D．All in all 13．A．What B．How C．Why D．Where 14．A．himself B．herself C．themselves D．ourselves 15．A．break B．build C．keep D．miss B It’s important to have a good relationship with neighbors (邻居).

Susan: If you want to build trust in communication, always be honest with your words. Lies or half-truths can quickly break down the connection between you and the other person. For example, if you promise to do something, make sure you follow through. This way, the person you’re communicating with will feel more comfortable and open up to you. Jones: If you want to have a more productive conversation, prepare in advance. Before a meeting or discussion, think about the topics that will be covered. If it’s a business talk, research relevant (相关的) data. This preparation allows you to contribute meaningfully, ask intelligent questions, and understand different perspectives better during the communication. Mandy: If you want to avoid misunderstandings, repeat back what the other person said in your own words. After they finish speaking, briefly summarize their main points. For instance, you can say, “So, what you’re saying is that we should focus on cost-cutting measures, right?” This simple step ensures that you’ve understood their message correctly and gives them a chance to clarify (澄清) if there’s any error. Would you like to give us more useful advice? 1．According to Susan, what can break down the connection in communication? A．Being honest all the time. B．Making promises. C．Telling lies or half-truths. D．Following through on promises. 2．What does Jones suggest for a more productive conversation? A．Avoiding discussions. B．Preparing in advance. C．Ignoring relevant data. D．Speaking without thinking. 3．When following Mandy’s advice, what should you do after the other person finishes speaking? A．Walk away. B．Repeat their words exactly. C．Briefly summarize their main points. D．Argue with them. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Susan thinks honesty is not important in communication. B．Jones believes preparation can’t help in a business talk. C．Mandy’s method can help ensure correct understanding. D．All three students give the same advice. B 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 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 changes 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 (压力). So, which do you prefer? 1．According to Paragraph 1, what makes communication easier and cheaper? A．The growth of population. B．The improvement of education. C．The development of technology. D．The increase of population. 2．What leads to more effective communication in face-to-face communication? A．Direct personal interaction. B．Nonverbal cues. C．Formal talks. D．Chatting online. 3．What are the advantages of face-to-face communication? ①Building trust.  ②Making deeper connections.   ③Interacting directly. ④Communicating from a distance. A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 4．Why can both parties speak without being under pressure in telephone conversations? A．Because they are having a professional telephone conversation. B．Because they can see each other’s body language and facial expressions. C．Because they can interact face to face. D．Because they cannot see each other. 5．What’s the best title of the text? A．The power of face-to-face communication B．The strength of telephone communication C．The development of education D．Communication choices: face-to-face vs telephone C Whether it’s a happy face, a little heart or a thumbs-up, emojis are a key part of how people all over the world communicate online in messages. In fact, 10 billion of them are sent every day! The first emojis were created in 1999 by a Japanese designer named Shigetaka Kurita. His first set of emojis had 176 simple symbols, but these days we have more than 3,500 different emojis to choose from! More emojis are appearing, such as emojis of people with different skin colors. This change helps people from all backgrounds be noticed. Even though there are so many emojis, some are used much more often than others. To find out which emojis are the most popular, technology company Baidu studied emoji use in 16 countries, including Japan, the US, the UK and France, during the first half of 2025. Baidu found that the crying face was the most-used emoji in many countries. People use it to show many strong feelings—not just sadness but also pride, happiness and even laughter. In fact, the most popular emojis seem to be quite similar in most countries. However, cultural differences have an influence on emoji use. People use hearts to show love for family or friends in many countries. In Japan, hearts are mostly used for romantic love. So the way we use emojis can be quite different! All in all, emojis have changed from simple symbols into a rich and widely-used communication tool. They help people get over language problems by expressing emotions clearly. As emojis keep growing and changing, they will surely play an important part in our online communication. Top emoji by country Japan Russia Argentina Vietnam US Spain Mexico Indonesia UK Italy Iraq Thailand France Turkey Egypt India 1．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Happy faces. B．Emojis. C．Messages. D．Little hearts. 2．Why are there more and more Emojis? A．To increase the number of emojis. B．To let people of different backgrounds feel seen. C．To make crying and laughing emojis less popular. D．To change the way people use different emojis. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The first set of emoji had more than 3,500 symbols. B．The laughing face was the top in many countries. C．People use the crying face to show sadness only. D．Cultural differences influence how people use emojis. 4．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Emojis: World’s Best Communication B．Emojis: Different Culture, Different Use C．Emojis: Symbols That Show Our Feelings D．Emojis: The Great Tool for Online Communication D Communication skills are essential for success in school and beyond. While technology has made it easier to connect, face-to-face interactions still play a vital role in building relationships. Verbal communication involves more than just speaking clearly—it requires listening actively. This means paying attention to the speaker, asking follow-up questions, and avoiding interruptions. A study by the Communication Research Institute found that students who practice active listening are 40% more likely to resolve conflicts and collaborate effectively in group projects. Nonverbal cues also matter. Body language, eye contact, and facial expressions can convey emotions more powerfully than words. For example, leaning forward and nodding shows interest, while crossing arms may signal defensiveness. Being aware of these cues helps avoid misunderstandings. In fact, research suggests that 55% of communication is nonverbal, while only 7% is based on words themselves. In written communication—whether emails, essays, or text messages—clarity is key. Avoid slang or vague language, and proofread to catch errors. A well-written message not only conveys information but also shows respect for the recipient. This is especially important in formal contexts, like emails to teachers or job applications. Technology has introduced new forms of communication, like video calls and social media. While these are convenient, they lack some nonverbal cues, making it easier to misinterpret tone. A 2021 study found that 60% of text messages are misinterpreted in terms of emotional tone. This is why it’s important to choose the right channel: a sensitive conversation about grades or feelings may be better in person than over a text. Practicing communication skills takes time. Role-playing with friends, joining debate clubs, or volunteering in community events can all help improve. The goal is to express oneself honestly while being mindful of others’ perspectives. As author Stephen Covey said, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply,”—but true communication requires both speaking and listening. 1．What does active listening involve? A．Speaking more than the other person. B．Paying attention and asking follow-up questions. C．Interrupting to share your opinion. D．Thinking of your response while others speak. 2．What percentage of communication is nonverbal, according to research? A．7%. B．40%. C．55%. D．60%. 3．What is important in written communication? A．Using slang to sound friendly. B．Sending messages quickly without proofreading. C．Being clear and checking for errors. D．Writing long paragraphs to show detail. 4．Why do text messages often get misinterpreted? A．They lack nonverbal cues. B．They are too short. C．People read them too quickly. D．They use too much formal language. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Technology has made face-to-face communication unnecessary. B．Communication skills are crucial and can be improved with practice. C．Nonverbal cues are unimportant compared to words. D．Written communication is more effective than speaking. 四、补全语篇 A Do you get an invitation to a party that you don’t want to accept? 1 Do you accept it or refuse it?

When you say “I’m sorry”, it doesn’t just mean you feel bad about what you have done; it also means you care about others’ feelings and you care about your relationships. After saying it, you connect with others again and even better. Your relationships may reach a higher level. 听第二段对话，回答下列小题。 3．What is the woman’s trouble?

One said it was white, 3 the other insisted (坚持) it was black. They argued, thinking the other was completely wrong. Then, the teacher asked them to change their positions. Surprisingly, their opinions 4 immediately. “You see,” the teacher said, “you were both right, just looking from different 5 ” In fact, the ball has 6 colors, with one side white and the other black. This simple experiment made everyone in the class fall 7 , including me. 8 watching this video, I found it hard to 9 my classmates. I often had different opinions with them, but didn’t know how to 10 them clearly. Therefore I seldom understood them and even argued with them. For example, during a group project, I once strongly believed my idea was the 11 and didn’t listen to others. 12 our group work didn’t go well. However, I thought my classmates made mistakes. But after this experiment, I realize that everyone has their own opinions and strengths. 13 I consider right may not be the same for others. This video taught me a valuable lesson: putting 14 in others’ shoes can help us better understand others and 15 our friendship. From now on, I will try to understand others’ viewpoints before expressing my own, and I believe this will completely improve my relationships with my classmates and make our teamwork win more prizes. 1．A．simple B．deep C．crazy D．fair 2．A．color B．shape C．size D．weight 3．A．besides B．but C．so D．or 4．A．developed B．recorded C．understood D．changed 5．A．directions B．lights C．rides D．journeys 6．A．one B．two C．three D．four 7．A．asleep B．upset C．silent D．nervous 8．A．While B．After C．Before D．Unless 9．A．laugh at B．take care of C．check out D．communicate with 10．A．report B．train C．write D．explain 11．A．worst B．simplest C．best D．brightest 12．A．All the time B．As a result C．At first D．All in all 13．A．What B．How C．Why D．Where 14．A．himself B．herself C．themselves D．ourselves 15．A．break B．build C．keep D．miss 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．A 6．B 7．C 8．C 9．D 10．D 11．C 12．B 13．A 14．D 15．C 【导语】本文讲述了作者通过观看“换位思考”实验视频，领悟到要站在他人角度考虑问题，从而改善与同学关系的感悟。 1．句意：这个视频给我留下了深刻的印象。 simple简单的；deep深刻的；crazy疯狂的；fair公平的。根据“This video left a…impression on me”及后文对视频内容的详细描述和从中获得的宝贵教训，deep符合语境，强调视频带来的影响深远。故选B。 2．句意：老师把一个球放在桌上，让两个学生描述它的颜色。 color颜色；shape形状；size尺寸；weight重量。根据“One said it was white,…the other insisted it was black”，可知两个学生描述的是球的颜色。故选A。 3．句意：一个说它是白色的，但另一个坚持说它是黑色的。 besides此外；but但是；so所以；or或者。根据“One said it was white”“the other insisted it was black”可知，前后两个学生的描述不一致，存在转折关系，用but连接。故选B。 4．句意：令人惊讶的是，他们的观点立刻改变了。 developed发展；recorded记录；understood理解；changed改变。根据“Then, the teacher asked them to change their positions.

Susan: If you want to build trust in communication, always be honest with your words. Lies or half-truths can quickly break down the connection between you and the other person. For example, if you promise to do something, make sure you follow through. This way, the person you’re communicating with will feel more comfortable and open up to you. Jones: If you want to have a more productive conversation, prepare in advance. Before a meeting or discussion, think about the topics that will be covered. If it’s a business talk, research relevant (相关的) data. This preparation allows you to contribute meaningfully, ask intelligent questions, and understand different perspectives better during the communication. Mandy: If you want to avoid misunderstandings, repeat back what the other person said in your own words. After they finish speaking, briefly summarize their main points. For instance, you can say, “So, what you’re saying is that we should focus on cost-cutting measures, right?” This simple step ensures that you’ve understood their message correctly and gives them a chance to clarify (澄清) if there’s any error. Would you like to give us more useful advice? 1．According to Susan, what can break down the connection in communication? A．Being honest all the time. B．Making promises. C．Telling lies or half-truths. D．Following through on promises. 2．What does Jones suggest for a more productive conversation? A．Avoiding discussions. B．Preparing in advance. C．Ignoring relevant data. D．Speaking without thinking. 3．When following Mandy’s advice, what should you do after the other person finishes speaking? A．Walk away. B．Repeat their words exactly. C．Briefly summarize their main points. D．Argue with them. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Susan thinks honesty is not important in communication. B．Jones believes preparation can’t help in a business talk. C．Mandy’s method can help ensure correct understanding. D．All three students give the same advice. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是三位学生Susan、Jones和Mandy就如何更好地沟通提出的建议。 1．细节理解题。根据Susan的建议“Lies or half-truths can quickly break down the connection between you and the other person.”可知，谎言或半真半假的话会破坏沟通中的联系。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据Jones的建议“If you want to have a more productive conversation, prepare in advance.”可知，Jones建议提前准备。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据Mandy的建议“After they finish speaking, briefly summarize their main points.”可知，Mandy建议在对方说完后简要总结其要点。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据Mandy的建议“This simple step ensures that you’ve understood their message correctly...”可知，Mandy的方法有助于确保正确理解对方的意思。故选C。 B 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 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 changes 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 (压力). So, which do you prefer? 1．According to Paragraph 1, what makes communication easier and cheaper? A．The growth of population. B．The improvement of education. C．The development of technology. D．The increase of population. 2．What leads to more effective communication in face-to-face communication? A．Direct personal interaction. B．Nonverbal cues. C．Formal talks. D．Chatting online. 3．What are the advantages of face-to-face communication? ①Building trust.  ②Making deeper connections.   ③Interacting directly. ④Communicating from a distance. A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 4．Why can both parties speak without being under pressure in telephone conversations? A．Because they are having a professional telephone conversation. B．Because they can see each other’s body language and facial expressions. C．Because they can interact face to face. D．Because they cannot see each other. 5．What’s the best title of the text? A．The power of face-to-face communication B．The strength of telephone communication C．The development of education D．Communication choices: face-to-face vs telephone 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了面对面交流和电话等远程交流各自的优势和局限性，对比分析两种沟通方式的特点后，引发读者对沟通方式选择的思考。 1．细节理解题。根据“...but with the development of technology...It has become easier and much cheaper to communicate or have a conversation.”可知，技术的发展让沟通变得更容易和更便宜。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Face-to-face communication includes direct personal interaction...leading to more effective communication.”可知，在面对面的交流中，直接的人际互动会带来更有效的沟通。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Face-to-face communication includes direct personal interaction.”和“In addition, 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、建立更深的联系以及直接的个人互动。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Also, as they cannot see each other, both parties can speak without being under pressure(压力).”可知，双方在电话交谈中可以无压力地交谈是因为他们看不到对方。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文比较了面对面沟通和电话沟通的不同优势和适用场景，因此D项“沟通选择：面对面还是电话”适合作标题。故选D。 C Whether it’s a happy face, a little heart or a thumbs-up, emojis are a key part of how people all over the world communicate online in messages. In fact, 10 billion of them are sent every day! The first emojis were created in 1999 by a Japanese designer named Shigetaka Kurita. His first set of emojis had 176 simple symbols, but these days we have more than 3,500 different emojis to choose from! More emojis are appearing, such as emojis of people with different skin colors. This change helps people from all backgrounds be noticed. Even though there are so many emojis, some are used much more often than others. To find out which emojis are the most popular, technology company Baidu studied emoji use in 16 countries, including Japan, the US, the UK and France, during the first half of 2025. Baidu found that the crying face was the most-used emoji in many countries. People use it to show many strong feelings—not just sadness but also pride, happiness and even laughter. In fact, the most popular emojis seem to be quite similar in most countries. However, cultural differences have an influence on emoji use. People use hearts to show love for family or friends in many countries. In Japan, hearts are mostly used for romantic love. So the way we use emojis can be quite different! All in all, emojis have changed from simple symbols into a rich and widely-used communication tool. They help people get over language problems by expressing emotions clearly. As emojis keep growing and changing, they will surely play an important part in our online communication.

While technology has made it easier to connect, face-to-face interactions still play a vital role in building relationships. Verbal communication involves more than just speaking clearly—it requires listening actively. This means paying attention to the speaker, asking follow-up questions, and avoiding interruptions. A study by the Communication Research Institute found that students who practice active listening are 40% more likely to resolve conflicts and collaborate effectively in group projects. Nonverbal cues also matter. Body language, eye contact, and facial expressions can convey emotions more powerfully than words. For example, leaning forward and nodding shows interest, while crossing arms may signal defensiveness. Being aware of these cues helps avoid misunderstandings. In fact, research suggests that 55% of communication is nonverbal, while only 7% is based on words themselves. In written communication—whether emails, essays, or text messages—clarity is key. Avoid slang or vague language, and proofread to catch errors. A well-written message not only conveys information but also shows respect for the recipient. This is especially important in formal contexts, like emails to teachers or job applications. Technology has introduced new forms of communication, like video calls and social media. While these are convenient, they lack some nonverbal cues, making it easier to misinterpret tone. A 2021 study found that 60% of text messages are misinterpreted in terms of emotional tone. This is why it’s important to choose the right channel: a sensitive conversation about grades or feelings may be better in person than over a text. Practicing communication skills takes time. Role-playing with friends, joining debate clubs, or volunteering in community events can all help improve. The goal is to express oneself honestly while being mindful of others’ perspectives. As author Stephen Covey said, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply,”—but true communication requires both speaking and listening. 1．What does active listening involve? A．Speaking more than the other person. B．Paying attention and asking follow-up questions. C．Interrupting to share your opinion. D．Thinking of your response while others speak. 2．What percentage of communication is nonverbal, according to research? A．7%. B．40%. C．55%. D．60%. 3．What is important in written communication? A．Using slang to sound friendly. B．Sending messages quickly without proofreading. C．Being clear and checking for errors. D．Writing long paragraphs to show detail. 4．Why do text messages often get misinterpreted? A．They lack nonverbal cues. B．They are too short. C．People read them too quickly. D．They use too much formal language. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Technology has made face-to-face communication unnecessary. B．Communication skills are crucial and can be improved with practice. C．Nonverbal cues are unimportant compared to words. D．Written communication is more effective than speaking. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要阐述了沟通技巧在学校及以后生活中的重要性，详细介绍了口头交流、非语言暗示、书面交流等不同沟通形式的特点和注意事项，同时指出科技带来的新沟通形式虽有便利但也存在局限，强调了通过练习提升沟通技巧的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Verbal communication involves more than just speaking clearly—it requires listening actively.

It’s important for you to know what the problem is. Once you know the problem, you can explain how it influences you.

You can tell your friend that this talk makes you feel a little nervous. In this way, you will show your kindness. Never mind who is right or who is wrong. It’s important to listen to your friend’s opinion. Don’t just pay attention to proving (证明) yourself right. You can try to understand how he or she feels. This can help you solve the problem quickly.

Many experts suggest planning what you want to say, so you can say it in a way that doesn’t create trouble. Don’t be too anxious.

I think the most useful skill to communicate better is to respect others. I would like to share my experience with you.      Last year I went travelling with my good friend. When I made the plan, he disagreed. We argued about it because I thought he should follow my advice. Later, I thought about it and realized that his advice was actually pretty good. We should respect each other. I said sorry to him and then we had a good trip.      In my opinion, the effective communication is very helpful. I should learn how to get on well with others. I should learn to be a good listener and understand others. I should also respect others politely. 【详解】 [总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇材料作文； ②时态：时态以“一般现在时”和“一般过去时”为主； ③提示：写作要点已给出，考生注意不要遗漏提示中的要点，可适当添加细节，并突出写作要点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，承接短文开头，点明主题； 第二步，具体介绍自身的经历； 第三步，书写结语，表达感受。 [亮点词汇] ①go travelling去旅行 ②say sorry to sb.向某人道歉 ③get on well with sb.与某人相处得很好 [高分句型] ①When I made the plan, he disagreed.
