The activity of finding dazi is a new way of social contact (社交交往) for young people. The idea of this activity is easy to understand. It helps people to find someone who has the same hobby as them and it doesn’t take much time. With one or a few dazi, people have more fun in the activities they are interested in. A girl called Zhang Li, is a high school student from Shandong. She likes talking with her meal dazi when she is having lunch. “We love to share our ideas on the food,” said the girl. “If my meal dazi doesn’t come to school one day, I will be sad.” “It takes a lot of time to make friends with others. But it doesn’t need much time to have a dazi,” said another girl Shi Zhimin, a student from Shanxi. Zhang Li also has the same idea. She doesn’t want to spend too much time making friends, so having a dazi is good for her. She can feel relaxed and then has more time to study. Also, dazi sometimes may give you some big surprises. “Once, my game dazi and I did something wrong when playing a game, but we worked together to turn the tide (扭转局势). By playing the game together, I find I like working with others now!” Shi Zhimin said. Dazi is usually beneficial but it can be dangerous. People may lie on the Internet. For example, a young and beautiful girl on the Internet may be an old, short, and heavy man in real life. So think twice when finding dazi. 1．According to the passage, people like finding dazi because _________. A．they have the same idea about food B．they want to spend more time with others C．it helps people make friends from different places D．it doesn’t take much time to find friends with the same hobbies 2．Put the following in the correct order. ①Zhang Li will feel sad if her meal dazi doesn’t come to school. ②Shi Zhimin and her game dazi work together to turn the tide in a game. ③Young people start to find dazi as a new way of social contact during Labour Day. ④Shi Zhimin believes that making dazi saves more time than making friends. A．3→4→1→2 B．3→1→4→2 C．4→3→2→1 D．1→3→2→4 3．What does the underlined word “beneficial” mean? A．Helpful. B．Strange. C．Interesting. D．Magic. 4．What may be the best title for the passage? A．Dazi: A Dangerous Way to Make Friends B．Know the Culture of Dazi in China C．Having a Dazi: More Fun, More Time D．Dazi: The New Way of Finding Activity Partners 5．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A．B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了年轻人通过寻找“搭子”作为社交新方式的现象，分析了其优点和潜在风险。 1．细节理解题。根据“The idea of this activity is easy to understand. It helps people to find someone who has the same hobby as them and it doesn’t take much time.”可知，人们喜欢找搭子的原因是它能快速找到志同道合的伙伴。选项D。 2．细节理解题。根据“During the Labour Day holiday, many people want to find dazi (搭子) or activity partners for travelling, eating or other activities.”；“Zhang Li…If my meal dazi doesn’t come to school one day, I will be sad.”；“It takes a lot of time to make friends with others. But it doesn’t need much time to have a dazi…Shi Zhimin”；“Once, my game dazi and I did something wrong when playing a game, but we worked together to turn the tide (扭转局势)…Shi Zhimin said.”可知，正确顺序是：年轻人劳动节期间开始以搭子作为社交新方式→张莉因饭搭子缺席而难过→石志敏认为找搭子比交朋友更省时→石志敏和游戏搭子合作扭转游戏局势。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Dazi is usually beneficial but it can be dangerous…”以及后文举例说明风险可推知，“beneficial”与“dangerous”构成对比，意为“有益的”。选项A。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，全文围绕“搭子”作为新型社交方式展开，既说明其优势，也提及风险，D项符合。故选D。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段总领全文，引出找搭子这种新的社交方式；第二段和第六段，分别讲了找搭子的好处和坏处，属于第一段的分支；第三至五段，是通过三个例子说明找搭子的好处，属于第二段的分支。故选C。 How do you start a conversation when you first meet someone in the UK? When meeting in the morning, you can say “Good morning!”, and when meeting in the afternoon or evening, you can say “Good afternoon!” or “Good evening!” If you want to ask someone about their information, you can use “How are you?” When you answer, simply say “Fine, thank you.” Most of time, “How are you?” is only a greeting.

For example, in Japan, people may lower their eyes as a sign of respect. Gestures also vary from culture to culture. In the United States, a thumbs-up gesture usually means “good” or “great”. However, in some Middle Eastern countries, this gesture is very offensive (冒犯的). Emojis have become a popular way of communication in the digital age. They can help us express our feelings quickly.

How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us? According to a research by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency (效率). So why aren’t we better listeners? As a society, we may be growing more narcissists (自我陶醉者). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students. If we, as a culture, are becoming more self-centered, how can we, as individuals (个体), work to become more caring communicators? We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations. As Stephen R. Covey wrote in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, “Most people do not listen with the intention (意图) to understand but to reply.” A dialogue is a chance to learn, to see things from a new perspective (视角), to open your eyes to new information and possibilities. Yet, too often we communicate as if it’s a debate (辩论). We speak to hear our own voices. In doing so, we can space out when spoken to. We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value. Wilson Mizner said, “A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.” Listening doesn’t just enrich our knowledge on an intellectual (智力的) level; it also enables us to have a more personal, in-depth understanding of our closest friends. Relationships are truly enriched by an equal (平等的) back-and-forth exchange in communication. When these dynamics (动态) become more one-sided, we may lose interest and create distance (疏远) in our friendships, with less trust built and less honesty exchanged. Maybe we aren’t as good listeners as we believe. Do we focus too much on ourselves-both in positive and negative ways? Do we get distracted by an inner coach, rather than living in the moment and really focusing on what’s being said? Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills. As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends. 1．What is the author’s purpose in showing the social phenomena in Paragraph 1? A．To show most people are confident about their listening skills. B．To point out the fact that people have low efficiency in listening. C．To provide information about how people behave in conversation. D．To express his worries about people’s shortage of attention when talking. 2．Why does the author cite the research data from the year 2007? A．To prove college students have become more self-centered and narcissistic over time. B．To show the belief in people’s listening skills is out dated and needs to be updated. C．To provide an example of how society’s narcissism affects personal relationships. D．To support the argument that society is becoming more self-centered and narcissistic. 3．What does the underlined phrase “space out” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Stay focused. B．Feel confused. C．Be absent-minded. D．Remain nervous. 4．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A．We should speak to hear our own voices and opinions. B．People should listen to learn and see things from a new way. C．Most people listen with the intention to understand, not to reply. D．A good listener is popular but does not necessarily know everything. 5．What would be the best title for this passage? A．Why We Should Listen More and Speak Less B．How We Can Improve Listening Skills Efficiently C．The Influence of Narcissism on Social Communication D．The Lower Efficiency of Listening in Modern Society 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了现代社会中人们倾听效率低下的现象及其原因，并提出通过改变对话态度来改善倾听能力的建议。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends, family members or loved ones and discovered that you had completely shut off what they were saying? How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us?”可知，第一段的问题是为了引出人们倾听效率低的事实。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第3段“A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students... we, as a culture, are becoming more self-centered”可知，引用2007年数据是为了支持“社会整体变得更自我中心”的论点。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第4段“We speak to hear our own voices. In doing so, we can space out when spoken to.”可知，“space out”指在对话中走神、心不在焉的状态。故选C。 4．观点态度题。根据文章第4段“A dialogue is a chance to learn, to see things from a new perspective”及第5段“Listening... enables us to have a more personal, in-depth understanding”可知，作者赞同倾听是为了学习和换位思考。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。本文讲述了人们在与别人交谈时时常分心，介绍了为什么我们不是更好的倾听者以及如何努力成为更有爱心的沟通者，所以选项B“如何有效提高倾听技能”为标题最合适。故选B。 能力综合实践4篇 Do you know that you are not outgoing (外向的) enough?

Let’s take a look at four different types of questions you can use in a conversation. Type①: The Open-ended Question An open-ended question is a question that cannot be answered with “yes” or “no”. The opposite is a close-ended question. Close-ended questions always end the conversation. An open-ended question allows you to learn more about the other person and gives you something to reply to. Type②: The Follow-up Question When it comes to conversations, a follow-up question is something that is asked based on what the other person already said. In order to ask a good follow-up question, you need to listen carefully. Follow-up questions keep the conversation moving and show the other person you were listening to what they said. Type③: The Clarifying (澄清) Question When do you need to ask a clarifying question? There are two situations, first, that is when the information you heard was unclear. And second, that is when you are having trouble understanding what the speaker is trying to express. A clarifying question can be open-ended or close-ended. Type④: The Superlative (最高级的) Question Questions, like “What is the best trip you’ve ever taken?” or “What’s your most unforgettable thing?” really let you learn more about the person you’re having a conversation with. 1．What do you need to do to ask a good follow-up question? A．Add your own ideas. B．Listen to the speaker carefully. C．Answer an open-ended question. D．Keep the conversation moving. 2．When do you need to ask a clarifying question? A．When the information is very clear. B．When we are trying to start talking. C．When we want to reply to a close-ended question. D．When we have trouble understanding the speaker. 3．What does the underlined word “opposite” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．different B．similar C．same D．connected 4．Why does the writer use the sentence “What is the best trip you’ve ever taken?” A．To find an answer. B．To give an example. C．To create an interest. D．To start a conversation. 5．What is the writer trying to do in the text? A．Teach us some useful sentences. B．Introduce some school rules. C．Guide us on how to ask questions. D．Explain how to make friends. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了四种不同类型的提问方式及其在对话中的作用。 1．细节理解题。根据“In order to ask a good follow-up question, you need to listen carefully.”可知，要提出好的跟进问题，需要仔细倾听说话者。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“When do you need to ask a clarifying question?... And second, that is when you are having trouble understanding what the speaker is trying to express.”可知，当我们难以理解说话者的表达时，需要提出澄清问题。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“An open-ended question is a question that cannot be answered with ‘yes’ or ‘no’. The opposite is a close-ended question.”可知，开放式问题不能用“是”或“否”回答，而封闭式问题可以，二者是相反的类型，因此“opposite”意为“相反的，对立的”，也就是不同的。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Questions, like ‘What is the best trip you’ve ever taken?’ or ‘What’s your most unforgettable thing?’ really let you learn more about the person you’re having a conversation with.”可知，作者用这个句子是为了举例说明最高级问题的用法。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。根据“Let’s take a look at four different types of questions you can use in a conversation.”可知，作者的目的是指导我们如何在对话中提问。故选C。 It is important to be a good listener when your friend talks to you.

It means that you are interested in what he or she is saying.”可知，当你对你朋友说的话感兴趣时，你的身体应该是面对着朋友；据此可以推断划线单词“face”意为“面对”。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。综合全文，尤其是第一段“Here is something you need to do to be a good listener.”可知，本文主要介绍了成为一个好的倾听者需要做的一些事情；选项D“如何成为一个好的倾听者”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 A recent survey (调查) was carried out among young Chinese people. It shows that young Chinese are less good at expressing thoughts and ideas. Half of those young people said they had poor verbal skills (口头表达能力). And 40% of them said they had trouble expressing themselves well in writing. Poor education could be a reason for poor communication skills, but that may not explain everything. Of the 1,333 young people, most were well-educated. The problem more likely came from the rise of digital (数字的) communication, with texting instead of talking, and short messages instead of long, complete sentences. Today, having trouble expressing thoughts and ideas is a global problem. In America, some people try to work out the problem by returning to so-called “Classical Education”. This kind of education took place 500 years ago in Europe. They learn grammar, rhetoric, and logic. Grammar meant learning how to write a complete and correct sentence. Rhetoric was the use of grammatical devices (语法手段) to make one’s writing better. And logic was the use of reason (理性) to identify what is true or not true. If you want to improve your communication skills, ▲ . You can talk with others about books, the latest news, or even hobbies in this group. You can also get a beautiful diary and write down your thoughts in it every day. This will help you have a clearer mind so that you can express your ideas and feelings more clearly. 1．If 100 young people are surveyed (被调查), how many more people have poor verbal skills than writing trouble? A．5 B．10 C．15 D．20 2．What does the underlined word “identify” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Report. B．Argue. C．Find. D．Agree. 3．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4? A．you can join or start a discussion group B．it’s good to pick up new hobbies C．keeping a handwritten diary may help D．try to learn more about speaking 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．More than half of the young Chinese said they had trouble expressing themselves well in writing. B．According to the passage, the rise of digital communication is the only reason for young people’s poor expression skills. C．In Classical Education, students learn grammar, rhetoric, and logic to improve their ability to express ideas clearly. D．Keeping a diary every day is the only way to improve communication skills. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Bad Communication B．Learn to Read and Write C．Digital Communication D．Express Yourself Better 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文通过一项针对中国年轻人的调查，指出当下中国年轻人存在口头和书面表达能力较弱的问题，分析了该问题的两大原因；同时说明这是一个世界性问题，并介绍了美国为解决该问题重拾的“古典教育”；最后给出了提升沟通表达能力的两个具体实用建议——加入/创办讨论小组、坚持写日记记录想法。 1．推理判断题。根据“Half of those young people said they had poor verbal skills. And 40% of them said they had trouble expressing themselves well in writing.”可知，口头表达能力差的比例是50%，写作表达有困难的比例是40%，100名被调查者中，两者的差值为100×(50%−40%)=10。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“And logic was the use of reason to identify what is true or not true.”可知，逻辑，就是运用理性去辨别何为真、何为假，因此此处identify意为“查明，辨别”，即Find。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“You can talk with others about books, the latest news, or even hobbies in this group.”可知，你可以在这个小组里和别人讨论书籍、最新新闻甚至爱好，因此此处“加入或创办一个讨论小组”，语义连贯。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“They learn grammar, rhetoric, and logic. Grammar meant learning how to write a complete and correct sentence. Rhetoric was the use of grammatical devices to make one’s writing better. And logic was the use of reason to identify what is true or not true.”可知，他们学习语法、修辞和逻辑学。语法学习的是如何写出完整、正确的句子。修辞是运用语法手段让写作更出彩，而逻辑学则是运用理性去辨别真伪，即学生学习语法、修辞和逻辑来提高清晰表达观点的能力。故选C。 5．最佳标题题。根据文章可知，全文围绕“年轻人表达能力差”的问题展开，分析原因并给出具体提升方法，因此标题为Express Yourself Better。故选D。 2 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 1 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit2 Language and communication 单元话题（语言与交流）阅读理解进阶练12篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练4篇 During the Labour Day holiday, many people want to find dazi (搭子) or activity partners for travelling, eating or other activities. The activity of finding dazi is a new way of social contact (社交交往) for young people. The idea of this activity is easy to understand. It helps people to find someone who has the same hobby as them and it doesn’t take much time. With one or a few dazi, people have more fun in the activities they are interested in. A girl called Zhang Li, is a high school student from Shandong. She likes talking with her meal dazi when she is having lunch. “We love to share our ideas on the food,” said the girl. “If my meal dazi doesn’t come to school one day, I will be sad.” “It takes a lot of time to make friends with others. But it doesn’t need much time to have a dazi,” said another girl Shi Zhimin, a student from Shanxi. Zhang Li also has the same idea. She doesn’t want to spend too much time making friends, so having a dazi is good for her. She can feel relaxed and then has more time to study. Also, dazi sometimes may give you some big surprises. “Once, my game dazi and I did something wrong when playing a game, but we worked together to turn the tide (扭转局势). By playing the game together, I find I like working with others now!” Shi Zhimin said. Dazi is usually beneficial but it can be dangerous. People may lie on the Internet. For example, a young and beautiful girl on the Internet may be an old, short, and heavy man in real life. So think twice when finding dazi. 1．According to the passage, people like finding dazi because _________. A．they have the same idea about food B．they want to spend more time with others C．it helps people make friends from different places D．it doesn’t take much time to find friends with the same hobbies 2．Put the following in the correct order. ①Zhang Li will feel sad if her meal dazi doesn’t come to school. ②Shi Zhimin and her game dazi work together to turn the tide in a game. ③Young people start to find dazi as a new way of social contact during Labour Day. ④Shi Zhimin believes that making dazi saves more time than making friends. A．3→4→1→2 B．3→1→4→2 C．4→3→2→1 D．1→3→2→4 3．What does the underlined word “beneficial” mean? A．Helpful. B．Strange. C．Interesting. D．Magic. 4．What may be the best title for the passage? A．Dazi: A Dangerous Way to Make Friends B．Know the Culture of Dazi in China C．Having a Dazi: More Fun, More Time D．Dazi: The New Way of Finding Activity Partners 5．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A．B． C． D． How do you start a conversation when you first meet someone in the UK? When meeting in the morning, you can say “Good morning!”, and when meeting in the afternoon or evening, you can say “Good afternoon!” or “Good evening!” If you want to ask someone about their information, you can use “How are you?” When you answer, simply say “Fine, thank you.” Most of time, “How are you?” is only a greeting. And “Hi” or “Hello” are more common for greeting. If you want to know someone’s name, you can use “May I have your name?” instead of “What’s your name?”, it is more polite (礼貌). When you want to know how to spell someone’s name, you can use “How do you spell it?” or “Can you spell it?”. Farewell language (道别用语) can be simply “Goodbye” or “See you”. Remember, being polite is the most important. 1．How to start a conversation? A．Good morning! B．Goodbye! C．See you! D．Fine, thank you! 2．Which is more common for greeting? A．Good afternoon!

Then people can know what you want to say more easily. Third, don’t give the names, phone numbers or pictures of your classmates, teachers or family to people online. It can be dangerous.

It can be verbal, like speaking and writing, or non-verbal, such as body language and facial expressions. Different cultures have different ways of communicating. In some cultures, making eye contact while talking is a sign of respect and attentiveness. But in other cultures, it may be considered rude. For example, in Japan, people may lower their eyes as a sign of respect. Gestures also vary from culture to culture. In the United States, a thumbs-up gesture usually means “good” or “great”. However, in some Middle Eastern countries, this gesture is very offensive (冒犯的). Emojis have become a popular way of communication in the digital age. They can help us express our feelings quickly. But we should also be careful when using them. Sometimes, an emoji may have different meanings in different cultures. 1．According to the text, what are the main forms of communication?

How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends, family members or loved ones and discovered that you had completely shut off what they were saying? How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us? According to a research by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency (效率). So why aren’t we better listeners? As a society, we may be growing more narcissists (自我陶醉者). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students. If we, as a culture, are becoming more self-centered, how can we, as individuals (个体), work to become more caring communicators? We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations. As Stephen R. Covey wrote in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, “Most people do not listen with the intention (意图) to understand but to reply.” A dialogue is a chance to learn, to see things from a new perspective (视角), to open your eyes to new information and possibilities. Yet, too often we communicate as if it’s a debate (辩论). We speak to hear our own voices. In doing so, we can space out when spoken to. We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value. Wilson Mizner said, “A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.” Listening doesn’t just enrich our knowledge on an intellectual (智力的) level; it also enables us to have a more personal, in-depth understanding of our closest friends. Relationships are truly enriched by an equal (平等的) back-and-forth exchange in communication. When these dynamics (动态) become more one-sided, we may lose interest and create distance (疏远) in our friendships, with less trust built and less honesty exchanged. Maybe we aren’t as good listeners as we believe. Do we focus too much on ourselves-both in positive and negative ways? Do we get distracted by an inner coach, rather than living in the moment and really focusing on what’s being said? Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills. As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends. 1．What is the author’s purpose in showing the social phenomena in Paragraph 1? A．To show most people are confident about their listening skills. B．To point out the fact that people have low efficiency in listening. C．To provide information about how people behave in conversation. D．To express his worries about people’s shortage of attention when talking. 2．Why does the author cite the research data from the year 2007? A．To prove college students have become more self-centered and narcissistic over time. B．To show the belief in people’s listening skills is out dated and needs to be updated. C．To provide an example of how society’s narcissism affects personal relationships. D．To support the argument that society is becoming more self-centered and narcissistic. 3．What does the underlined phrase “space out” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Stay focused. B．Feel confused. C．Be absent-minded. D．Remain nervous. 4．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A．We should speak to hear our own voices and opinions. B．People should listen to learn and see things from a new way. C．Most people listen with the intention to understand, not to reply. D．A good listener is popular but does not necessarily know everything. 5．What would be the best title for this passage?

Let’s take a look at four different types of questions you can use in a conversation. Type①: The Open-ended Question An open-ended question is a question that cannot be answered with “yes” or “no”. The opposite is a close-ended question. Close-ended questions always end the conversation. An open-ended question allows you to learn more about the other person and gives you something to reply to. Type②: The Follow-up Question When it comes to conversations, a follow-up question is something that is asked based on what the other person already said. In order to ask a good follow-up question, you need to listen carefully. Follow-up questions keep the conversation moving and show the other person you were listening to what they said.
