A
(2025·云南文山月考)
“Why didn't they understand me? I was as clear as I could be.” Everyone has had this thought at one time or another. In Failing to Communicate,Dr. Roger Kreuz explores the answers to these questions.
We are exposed to the dangers of miscommunication early in life. As children,we play the Telephone Game and learn an important lesson about the fragility (易碎性) of long communication chains. And as adults,people interrupt each other,on average,about every ninety seconds in order to check their understanding. Despite such alarm,however,a great deal of what is said and written is not understood as intended.
Miscommunication has led to military defeats,the loss of spacecraft,and even more tragically,accidents that cost human lives. It plays a role in road rage and social media feuds (纠纷). It appears in the courtroom,the boardroom,and different occasions. Failing to Communicate includes dozens of such examples and explains how communication works—and why it so often fails.
Researches have showed plenty of specific factors that contribute to misunderstanding. Some of these have to do with how our minds make sense of what we hear and read,while others are the result of cognitive,social,and cultural factors. The very structure (结构) of a given language can be problematic as well. In short,there are plenty of underlying causes.
Issues of misunderstanding have only grown as new media for communication have arisen. Emails,texts,and social media posts are even more problematic for there are no facial cues,tone of voice,gestures,and even the creative use of silence in the communication.
Failing to Communicate is intended to attract the general reader who wants to know more about why our attempts at communication fail so often.
1.Why do adults constantly interrupt others in the dialogue?
A.They try to show their interest.
B.They try to avoid the miscommunication.
C.They try to check the speaker's intention.
D.They try to learn about the fragility of the communication.
2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The effects of miscommunication.
B.The features of miscommunication.
C.The reasons for miscommunication.
D.The methods of dealing with miscommunication.
3.Which of the following won't cause miscommunication?
A.How the news media grow.
B.How the language is structured.
C.How our mind makes sense of the information.
D.How our cognition,society and culture affect us.
4.What's the type of this text?
A.News report. B.Book review.
C.Science report. D.Advertisement.

解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“And as adults,people interrupt each other,on average,about every ninety seconds in order to check their understanding.” 可知,成年人在对话中不断打断别人是为了确认自己是否理解对方,也就是试图避免误解。故选B。
2.答案:A
解析:段落大意题。根据第三段中“Miscommunication has led to military defeats,the loss of spacecraft,and even more tragically,accidents that cost human lives.” 以及后面提到的它在路怒症、社交媒体纠纷、法庭、会议室等不同场合的出现可知,第三段主要介绍了误解带来的各种不良影响。故选A。

In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People,Dale Carnegie wrote:“I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument—and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common,but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives—and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights,which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights,verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win,you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions—like,say,tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However,there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position,formulate (认真阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand,ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort,but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument—not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people,learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments—from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other—then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
