In my opinion, the reason why your classmate was unwilling to lend the book may be that he hasn't finished reading it yet. But effective communication can solve this problem. 　　First, advise your classmate to express his concerns calmly. Then promise a specific return date, like “Could I keep it until Friday? I'll protect it carefully.” Offering to share your own notes also shows responsibility. This way, both sides will feel understood. Remember that honesty and details create trust! I'm sure that you will solve the problem wisely.

One day, a(n) 12 came to her: Seeing an ASL interpreter (翻译员) in a movie might help her. She looked up some movies on the Internet. 13 she found that very few movies used ASL interpreters. For children unable (不能) to hear, it can be 14 to understand movies with only subtitles (字幕). “Is there anything I can do for them?” thought Maria. With the help of her parents and teachers, Maria 15 an app called Sign Up. It 16 an ASL interpreter to a corner of the screen during the playing of a movie. People with poor or no hearing can watch the movie and the interpreter at the 17 time. This helps them better enjoy the movie. In the beginning, Maria funded (注资) the project all by 18 . She made some money by walking dogs for her neighbours. But later she needed more money for ASL interpreters. So she asked people to 19 money on the Internet. Now the girl plans to include as many of the international sign languages in her app as possible.

In some Western countries, maintaining eye contact during a conversation is seen as honest and respectful. It shows that you are paying attention and engaging with the speaker. On the contrary, in many Eastern cultures, especially when talking to elders or people in authority, avoiding direct eye contact is considered polite. It demonstrates humility and respect for the other person’s status. Body language also includes sign languages, which are complete communication systems. Chinese Sign Language (CSL) is used by deaf people in China, with its own unique vocabulary and grammar. Simple signs like “No” (raising one hand upright with the palm outwards and swinging it side to side) and “Love” (making a thumbs-up with the left hand and stroking its back with the right hand) help people communicate without words. 21．In some Western countries, eye contact during a conversation shows ________. A．shyness B．dishonesty C．attention D．humility 22．Why do people in some Eastern cultures avoid eye contact with elders? A．To show respect B．To hide dishonesty C．To express disinterest D．To show confidence 23．What can we know about CSL from the passage? A．It is a silent version of spoken Chinese. B．It has its own unique communication system. C．It only includes hand movements. D．It is the same as sign languages in other countries. 【答案】21．C 22．A 23．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了眼神交流和肢体语言在跨文化交际中的不同含义，并介绍了中国手语（CSL）作为一种完整的交流系统。 21．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In some Western countries, maintaining eye contact during a conversation is seen as honest and respectful. It shows that you are paying attention and engaging with the speaker.”可知，在一些西方国家，对话中的眼神交流表示你在集中注意力。故选C。 22．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In many Eastern cultures, especially when talking to elders or people in authority, avoiding direct eye contact is considered polite. It demonstrates humility and respect for the other person's status.”可知，在一些东方文化中，人们避免与长辈进行眼神交流是为了表示尊重。故选A。 23．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Body language also includes sign languages, which are complete communication systems. Chinese Sign Language (CSL) is used by deaf people in China, with its own unique vocabulary and grammar.”可知，中国手语（CSL）有其自身独特的交流系统。故选B。 B Do you know that sign language also has dialects (方言)? Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, it’s hard for them to communicate with hearing people. Luckily, sign language interpreters (传译员) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother language, as her parents are deaf. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where she interprets for deaf people in legal cases (法律案件). Since sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult words without a direct match. In such situations, she carefully breaks down the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as ‘a fire put out’ in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels stressed at work because being correct is important in interpretation. Her worry also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures (手势) depending on where a deaf person is from. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the unique ways for deaf people across the country to use sign language. In her free time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. “I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community, and I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 24．Hao is familiar with (熟悉) sign language mainly because _________. A．she can’t hear anything B．she teaches sign language at school C．her parents are deaf D．she loves to take care of people 25．According to the passage, deaf people may say “_________”. A．pick up a football B．pick a football up C．a football up pick D．a football pick up 26．Hao uses the following ways to improve her professional ability except (除了) _________. A．reading law books B．talking with lawyers C．traveling around the world D．talking with her deaf coworkers 27．What can we learn from the passage? A．Chinese has fewer words than sign language. B．Hao sometimes feels stressed as sign language has “dialects”. C．Hao loves her job because she always feels relaxed at work. D．There is almost no difference between Chinese and sign language. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．C 27．B 【导语】本文介绍了手语译员郝舒欣在帮助听障人士进行法律翻译工作中的挑战和努力。 24．细节理解题。根据“Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother language, as her parents are deaf.”可知，郝舒欣熟悉手语是因为她的父母是听障人士。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据“For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as ‘a fire put out’ in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first,”可知，听障人士是按照他们首先看到的来描述的，因此“捡起足球”会被描述为“足球被捡起”。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据“In her free time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability.”可知，在空闲时间，郝舒欣会阅读大量法律书籍，并与律师以及具有听力障碍的同事交流，以提升自己的专业能力，不包括环游世界。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据“Hao feels stressed at work because being correct is important in interpretations. Her worry also comes from the fact that sign language has ‘dialects’.”可知，因为手语有着“方言”之分，郝舒欣有时会在工作中感受到压力。故选B。 C 1 In conversations, we often sense that the other person isn’t truly focused. According to the University of Missouri, 45% of communication is about listening, but most people remember only 25% to 50% of the information they hear. Whether you’re in a classroom, a business setting, or a relationship, missing 75% of what’s said to you is sure to lead to big problems. Active listening helps solve them. 2 Active listening means more than hearing the words. Instead, you think about what you hear, and try to find the purpose and emotion from the speaker. Active listening requires paying attention. If you’re watching TV or looking at your phone while someone is talking, you’re not actively listening. The other side of active listening is making sure the other person knows that you’re doing so. Signs like eye contact and replying with wise ideas are important. 3 As verbal (言语的) communication is very important in every part of life, active listening can help you communicate better, reduce misunderstandings, and build more successful relationships. Imagine your mom talks about family rules while you are checking TikTok. Mom keeps saying “Look at me” because you are checking your phone. You think “Here comes the boring lecture again” and ignore your mom’s anxious voice. This creates a perfect storm where both parties end up arguing with each other. But if you can close the app, sit next to mom and look into her eyes, magic will happen. Mom will stop repeating rules, her shoulders will relax, and you will quickly move to the next topic to discuss what to eat for dinner. 4 In fact, active listening takes practice. The first and foremost thing is to pay attention. Put away the distractions and make eye contact with the person talking to you. Make notes in mind about the speaker’s main points. Why are they telling you this? How does the speaker feel about what they’re saying? Don’t think about answering immediately. 5 Also, showing that you’re listening is necessary. The speaker can tell if you’re paying attention. Nod when you need to and give small comments like “yes” and “huh”. But don’t repeat something they’ve just said. This might seem like a good way to show you’re listening, but actually it can derail the conversation. The speaker may feel upset, as repeating interrupts (打断) their train of thoughts and drives the conversation away from the topic. 6 When the moment is right, offer thoughtful feedback (反馈). This doesn’t mean just answering, but showing you understand. You can do this by reflecting on what the speaker just says and asking follow-up questions. Good feedback helps make the conversation more interesting and shows that you are truly engaged. 28．According to the passage, which one is active listening? A．Asking some questions before listening. B．Guessing what others will say before listening. C．Thinking about what you hear when listening. D．Remembering 50% of the information you hear. 29．In Paragraph 3, why does the author mention the example of you and your mom? A．To discuss eye contact is useful to reduce conflicts. B．To prove verbal communication is important in relations. C．To show ignoring others’ words may lead to an argument. D．To explain active listening can improve communication. 30．What does “derail” probably mean? A．Put new things into the conversation. B．Put an end to the conversation. C．Make the conversation boring. D．Make the conversation lose focus. 31．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．D 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了什么是积极倾听以及积极倾听的建议。 28．细节理解题。根据“Active listening means more than hearing the words. Instead, you think about what you hear, and try to find the purpose and emotion from the speaker.”可知，积极倾听是倾听时思考听到的内容，故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据“As verbal (言语的) communication is very important in every part of life, active listening can help you communicate better, reduce misunderstandings, and build more successful relationships. ”可知，作者提及和妈妈的例子是为解释积极倾听有助于改善沟通，故选D。 30．词句猜测题。根据“But interrupts (打断) the train of thoughts and drives the conversation away from the topic.”可知，“derail” 意思是使对话偏离主题，即让对话失去焦点，故选D。 31．篇章结构题。第①段先引出交流中倾听存在问题，提出积极倾听能解决问题；第②段阐述积极倾听的含义；第③段说明积极倾听在改善交流等方面的作用；第④⑤⑥段分别从集中注意力、让对方知晓在倾听、给予反馈等角度讲积极倾听的做法。故选A 。 D Everyone loves receiving gifts, and across cultures, presents are a way to show care and love. However, traditions are not the same in every country. As a European living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital. When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink alcohol (酒). Many Europeans will typically open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag (标签). What if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else. Re-gifting (礼物转送) is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re-gifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need, CBS News reported. How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper (包装纸) for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Germans value high-quality (高品质的) wrapping paper, but many are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment. Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash (现金) at weddings (婚礼) to cover the cost of the venue (场地) and meals. Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift. 32．What might be a good gift to take to someone in the hospital in the author’s culture? A．Books. B．Fruit. C．Some cash. D．A bottle of fine wine. 33．Why do some Spanish people leave the receipt inside presents? A．To show the price of the gift. B．To make it easier to re-gift the item. C．To show respect to the receiver. D．To allow the receiver to exchange the gift. 34．How can people deal with the gift they don’t like, according to Paragraph 6? A．They can sell it. B．They can return it to the giver. C．They can give it to someone else. D．They can take it back to the store. 35．What is the passage mainly about? A．The gift-giving culture in different countries. B．Recent changes in gift-giving in Europe. C．Why we should re-gift unwanted presents. D．How people in Spain give and receive gifts. 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了不同国家的送礼文化，包括在不同场合下送什么样的礼物合适，以及如何处理不喜欢的礼物等内容。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital.”可知，在作者的文化中，去医院看望病人时，水果和牛奶可能是更好的选择。故选B。 33．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else.”可知，西班牙人在礼物里放收据是为了让收礼人可以更换礼物。故选D。 34．细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Re-gifting (礼物转送) is another good idea, as long as the present looks new.”可知，如果不喜欢收到的礼物，可以将其转送给其他人，只要礼物看起来是新的。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“However, traditions are not the same in every country.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了不同国家的送礼文化。故选A。 四．阅读还原句子（10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Asking for advice is not so easy. In a recent study, 74 percent of people said they were afraid to ask for advice. But people who ask for advice are more likely to succeed at a task. So how do you ask for advice? 36 Look for the best person to give you advice. It might be easy to ask all your friends on social media for advice at once, but will you value all the advice equally (同等地)? 37 It might be better to choose one or two people whose opinions you value most. Ideally, you can ask for advice from people who have experience in the topic you’re asking about. Provide enough information clearly. For example, imagine you can’t decide how to organize a club activity. When you ask for advice, you should mention the topic, the place and the time. 38 If your questions need a lot of thought, you should ask the person for advice when he or she is clear-headed. 39 Imagine you want to own a business someday. Do you ask a business owner, “ 40 ” No, because it’s not specific enough. Instead, try asking, “What college classes did you find helpful in starting a business?” Sometimes you may need to ask for a second opinion. If you can’t solve your problem by following the first person’s advice, why not ask someone else who may think differently? The key is: Don’t be afraid to ask for advice. A．Probably not. B．The answer is yes! C．Here are some ways for you. D．What advice do you have for me? E．You should also consider when to ask. F．Asking for advice can take a lot of time. G．Be specific (具体的) when you ask questions. 【答案】36．C 37．A 38．E 39．G 40．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了寻求建议的方法，包括选择合适的人、清晰提供信息、考虑询问时机、具体提问以及必要时寻求第二种意见等。 36．根据“So how do you ask for advice?”以及后文介绍的寻求建议的方法，此处应是引出方法，选项C“这里有一些方法给你”符合语境。故选C。 37．根据“It might be easy to ask all your friends on social media for advice at once, but will you value all the advice equally (同等地)?” 以及“It might be better to choose one or two people whose opinions you value most.”可知，此处表示不会同等重视所有建议，选项A“可能不会”符合语境。故选A。 38．根据“If your questions need a lot of thought, you should ask the person for advice when he or she is clear-headed.”可知，此处强调询问的时机，选项E“你也应该考虑询问的时机”符合语境。故选E。 39．根据“Imagine you want to own a business someday. Do you ask a business owner, … No, because it’s not specific enough. Instead, try asking, ‘What college classes did you find helpful in starting a business?’”可知，这里讲的是提问要具体，选项G“当你提问时要具体”符合语境。故选G。 40．根据“No, because it’s not specific enough. Instead, try asking, ‘What college classes did you find helpful in starting a business?’”可知，此处表示前面的问题不够具体，选项D“你有什么建议给我？”符合语境。故选D。 五．语法填空（10分） Are you going abroad on holiday this year? Are you thinking about 41 (learn) some of the local languages? Well, you should learn about body language too. It means you use your head and hands instead of words 42 (express) meanings. Body language has different meanings in different cultures. For example, in some Western cultures, people show they don’t understand or they don’t care about something by 43 (shrug) their shoulders. This isn’t common in other places. In Japan, people bow when they greet each other or say 44 (goodbye). This isn’t done in other parts of the world. Another example is nodding. People usually nod 45 (show) agreement. However, in Greece, people nod their heads to say “no”! Sometimes people think they understand the body language of a certain culture, but in fact, they 46 (do not). Take kissing as an example. In many European cultures, women and children are kissed on each cheek by family members or friends. Do you know that Europeans often greet close friends with a kiss on the cheek? However, it is uncommon for two men 47 (do) so. Instead, they usually shake hands and put their free hand on each other’s shoulder. In the Middle East and Thailand, it is very rude 48 (show) the bottom of your shoe when you rest one leg on top of the other. So be 49 (care) when you’re sitting on the bus or in a café! The world of body language can be very difficult to understand.

Dear Tom, Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Tom, Sorry to hear about your problem! In my opinion, the reason why your classmate was unwilling to lend the book may be that he hasn't finished reading it yet. But effective communication can solve this problem. 　　First, advise your classmate to express his concerns calmly. Then promise a specific return date, like “Could I keep it until Friday? I'll protect it carefully.” Offering to share your own notes also shows responsibility. This way, both sides will feel understood. Remember that honesty and details create trust!

Two years ago, she started 11 American Sign Language (ASL). After a while, Maria wanted to learn faster. One day, a(n) 12 came to her: Seeing an ASL interpreter (翻译员) in a movie might help her. She looked up some movies on the Internet. 13 she found that very few movies used ASL interpreters. For children unable (不能) to hear, it can be 14 to understand movies with only subtitles (字幕). “Is there anything I can do for them?” thought Maria. With the help of her parents and teachers, Maria 15 an app called Sign Up. It 16 an ASL interpreter to a corner of the screen during the playing of a movie. People with poor or no hearing can watch the movie and the interpreter at the 17 time. This helps them better enjoy the movie. In the beginning, Maria funded (注资) the project all by 18 . She made some money by walking dogs for her neighbours. But later she needed more money for ASL interpreters. So she asked people to 19 money on the Internet. Now the girl plans to include as many of the international sign languages in her app as possible.

In some Western countries, maintaining eye contact during a conversation is seen as honest and respectful. It shows that you are paying attention and engaging with the speaker. On the contrary, in many Eastern cultures, especially when talking to elders or people in authority, avoiding direct eye contact is considered polite. It demonstrates humility and respect for the other person’s status. Body language also includes sign languages, which are complete communication systems. Chinese Sign Language (CSL) is used by deaf people in China, with its own unique vocabulary and grammar. Simple signs like “No” (raising one hand upright with the palm outwards and swinging it side to side) and “Love” (making a thumbs-up with the left hand and stroking its back with the right hand) help people communicate without words. 21．In some Western countries, eye contact during a conversation shows ________. A．shyness B．dishonesty C．attention D．humility 22．Why do people in some Eastern cultures avoid eye contact with elders? A．To show respect B．To hide dishonesty C．To express disinterest D．To show confidence 23．What can we know about CSL from the passage? A．It is a silent version of spoken Chinese. B．It has its own unique communication system. C．It only includes hand movements. D．It is the same as sign languages in other countries. B Do you know that sign language also has dialects (方言)? Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, it’s hard for them to communicate with hearing people. Luckily, sign language interpreters (传译员) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother language, as her parents are deaf. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter in Chongqing. Her work takes her to places like courts, where she interprets for deaf people in legal cases (法律案件). Since sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult words without a direct match. In such situations, she carefully breaks down the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as ‘a fire put out’ in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels stressed at work because being correct is important in interpretation. Her worry also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures (手势) depending on where a deaf person is from. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the unique ways for deaf people across the country to use sign language. In her free time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her professional ability. “I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community, and I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 24．Hao is familiar with (熟悉) sign language mainly because _________. A．she can’t hear anything B．she teaches sign language at school C．her parents are deaf D．she loves to take care of people 25．According to the passage, deaf people may say “_________”. A．pick up a football B．pick a football up C．a football up pick D．a football pick up 26．Hao uses the following ways to improve her professional ability except (除了) _________. A．reading law books B．talking with lawyers C．traveling around the world D．talking with her deaf coworkers 27．What can we learn from the passage? A．Chinese has fewer words than sign language. B．Hao sometimes feels stressed as sign language has “dialects”. C．Hao loves her job because she always feels relaxed at work. D．There is almost no difference between Chinese and sign language. C 1 In conversations, we often sense that the other person isn’t truly focused. According to the University of Missouri, 45% of communication is about listening, but most people remember only 25% to 50% of the information they hear. Whether you’re in a classroom, a business setting, or a relationship, missing 75% of what’s said to you is sure to lead to big problems. Active listening helps solve them. 2 Active listening means more than hearing the words. Instead, you think about what you hear, and try to find the purpose and emotion from the speaker. Active listening requires paying attention. If you’re watching TV or looking at your phone while someone is talking, you’re not actively listening. The other side of active listening is making sure the other person knows that you’re doing so. Signs like eye contact and replying with wise ideas are important. 3 As verbal (言语的) communication is very important in every part of life, active listening can help you communicate better, reduce misunderstandings, and build more successful relationships. Imagine your mom talks about family rules while you are checking TikTok. Mom keeps saying “Look at me” because you are checking your phone. You think “Here comes the boring lecture again” and ignore your mom’s anxious voice. This creates a perfect storm where both parties end up arguing with each other. But if you can close the app, sit next to mom and look into her eyes, magic will happen. Mom will stop repeating rules, her shoulders will relax, and you will quickly move to the next topic to discuss what to eat for dinner. 4 In fact, active listening takes practice. The first and foremost thing is to pay attention. Put away the distractions and make eye contact with the person talking to you. Make notes in mind about the speaker’s main points. Why are they telling you this? How does the speaker feel about what they’re saying? Don’t think about answering immediately. 5 Also, showing that you’re listening is necessary. The speaker can tell if you’re paying attention. Nod when you need to and give small comments like “yes” and “huh”. But don’t repeat something they’ve just said. This might seem like a good way to show you’re listening, but actually it can derail the conversation. The speaker may feel upset, as repeating interrupts (打断) their train of thoughts and drives the conversation away from the topic. 6 When the moment is right, offer thoughtful feedback (反馈). This doesn’t mean just answering, but showing you understand. You can do this by reflecting on what the speaker just says and asking follow-up questions. Good feedback helps make the conversation more interesting and shows that you are truly engaged. 28．According to the passage, which one is active listening? A．Asking some questions before listening. B．Guessing what others will say before listening. C．Thinking about what you hear when listening. D．Remembering 50% of the information you hear. 29．In Paragraph 3, why does the author mention the example of you and your mom? A．To discuss eye contact is useful to reduce conflicts. B．To prove verbal communication is important in relations. C．To show ignoring others’ words may lead to an argument. D．To explain active listening can improve communication. 30．What does “derail” probably mean? A．Put new things into the conversation. B．Put an end to the conversation. C．Make the conversation boring. D．Make the conversation lose focus. 31．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． D Everyone loves receiving gifts, and across cultures, presents are a way to show care and love. However, traditions are not the same in every country. As a European living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital. When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink alcohol (酒). Many Europeans will typically open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag (标签). What if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else. Re-gifting (礼物转送) is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re-gifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need, CBS News reported. How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper (包装纸) for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Germans value high-quality (高品质的) wrapping paper, but many are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment. Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash (现金) at weddings (婚礼) to cover the cost of the venue (场地) and meals. Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift. 32．What might be a good gift to take to someone in the hospital in the author’s culture? A．Books. B．Fruit. C．Some cash. D．A bottle of fine wine. 33．Why do some Spanish people leave the receipt inside presents? A．To show the price of the gift. B．To make it easier to re-gift the item. C．To show respect to the receiver. D．To allow the receiver to exchange the gift. 34．How can people deal with the gift they don’t like, according to Paragraph 6? A．They can sell it. B．They can return it to the giver. C．They can give it to someone else. D．They can take it back to the store. 35．What is the passage mainly about? A．The gift-giving culture in different countries. B．Recent changes in gift-giving in Europe. C．Why we should re-gift unwanted presents. D．How people in Spain give and receive gifts. 四．阅读还原句子（10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Asking for advice is not so easy. In a recent study, 74 percent of people said they were afraid to ask for advice. But people who ask for advice are more likely to succeed at a task. So how do you ask for advice? 36 Look for the best person to give you advice. It might be easy to ask all your friends on social media for advice at once, but will you value all the advice equally (同等地)? 37 It might be better to choose one or two people whose opinions you value most. Ideally, you can ask for advice from people who have experience in the topic you’re asking about. Provide enough information clearly. For example, imagine you can’t decide how to organize a club activity. When you ask for advice, you should mention the topic, the place and the time. 38 If your questions need a lot of thought, you should ask the person for advice when he or she is clear-headed. 39 Imagine you want to own a business someday. Do you ask a business owner, “ 40 ” No, because it’s not specific enough. Instead, try asking, “What college classes did you find helpful in starting a business?” Sometimes you may need to ask for a second opinion. If you can’t solve your problem by following the first person’s advice, why not ask someone else who may think differently? The key is: Don’t be afraid to ask for advice. A．Probably not. B．The answer is yes! C．Here are some ways for you. D．What advice do you have for me? E．You should also consider when to ask. F．Asking for advice can take a lot of time. G．Be specific (具体的) when you ask questions. 五．语法填空（10分） Are you going abroad on holiday this year? Are you thinking about 41 (learn) some of the local languages? Well, you should learn about body language too. It means you use your head and hands instead of words 42 (express) meanings. Body language has different meanings in different cultures. For example, in some Western cultures, people show they don’t understand or they don’t care about something by 43 (shrug) their shoulders. This isn’t common in other places. In Japan, people bow when they greet each other or say 44 (goodbye). This isn’t done in other parts of the world. Another example is nodding. People usually nod 45 (show) agreement. However, in Greece, people nod their heads to say “no”! Sometimes people think they understand the body language of a certain culture, but in fact, they 46 (do not). Take kissing as an example. In many European cultures, women and children are kissed on each cheek by family members or friends. Do you know that Europeans often greet close friends with a kiss on the cheek? However, it is uncommon for two men 47 (do) so. Instead, they usually shake hands and put their free hand on each other’s shoulder. In the Middle East and Thailand, it is very rude 48 (show) the bottom of your shoe when you rest one leg on top of the other. So be 49 (care) when you’re sitting on the bus or in a café! The world of body language can be very difficult to understand. So when you are abroad, be very aware of 50 you are saying with your body! 六．阅读表达（10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Li Ziqi’s Come Back Hello kids!

C 1 In conversations, we often sense that the other person isn’t truly focused. According to the University of Missouri, 45% of communication is about listening, but most people remember only 25% to 50% of the information they hear. Whether you’re in a classroom, a business setting, or a relationship, missing 75% of what’s said to you is sure to lead to big problems. Active listening helps solve them. 2 Active listening means more than hearing the words. Instead, you think about what you hear, and try to find the purpose and emotion from the speaker. Active listening requires paying attention. If you’re watching TV or looking at your phone while someone is talking, you’re not actively listening. The other side of active listening is making sure the other person knows that you’re doing so. Signs like eye contact and replying with wise ideas are important. 3 As verbal (言语的) communication is very important in every part of life, active listening can help you communicate better, reduce misunderstandings, and build more successful relationships. Imagine your mom talks about family rules while you are checking TikTok. Mom keeps saying “Look at me” because you are checking your phone. You think “Here comes the boring lecture again” and ignore your mom’s anxious voice. This creates a perfect storm where both parties end up arguing with each other. But if you can close the app, sit next to mom and look into her eyes, magic will happen. Mom will stop repeating rules, her shoulders will relax, and you will quickly move to the next topic to discuss what to eat for dinner. 4 In fact, active listening takes practice. The first and foremost thing is to pay attention. Put away the distractions and make eye contact with the person talking to you. Make notes in mind about the speaker’s main points. Why are they telling you this? How does the speaker feel about what they’re saying? Don’t think about answering immediately. 5 Also, showing that you’re listening is necessary. The speaker can tell if you’re paying attention. Nod when you need to and give small comments like “yes” and “huh”. But don’t repeat something they’ve just said. This might seem like a good way to show you’re listening, but actually it can derail the conversation. The speaker may feel upset, as repeating interrupts (打断) their train of thoughts and drives the conversation away from the topic. 6 When the moment is right, offer thoughtful feedback (反馈). This doesn’t mean just answering, but showing you understand. You can do this by reflecting on what the speaker just says and asking follow-up questions. Good feedback helps make the conversation more interesting and shows that you are truly engaged. 28．According to the passage, which one is active listening? A．Asking some questions before listening. B．Guessing what others will say before listening. C．Thinking about what you hear when listening. D．Remembering 50% of the information you hear. 29．In Paragraph 3, why does the author mention the example of you and your mom? A．To discuss eye contact is useful to reduce conflicts. B．To prove verbal communication is important in relations. C．To show ignoring others’ words may lead to an argument. D．To explain active listening can improve communication. 30．What does “derail” probably mean? A．Put new things into the conversation. B．Put an end to the conversation. C．Make the conversation boring. D．Make the conversation lose focus. 31．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． D Everyone loves receiving gifts, and across cultures, presents are a way to show care and love. However, traditions are not the same in every country. As a European living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital. When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink alcohol (酒). Many Europeans will typically open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag (标签). What if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else. Re-gifting (礼物转送) is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re-gifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need, CBS News reported. How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper (包装纸) for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Germans value high-quality (高品质的) wrapping paper, but many are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment. Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash (现金) at weddings (婚礼) to cover the cost of the venue (场地) and meals. Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift. 32．What might be a good gift to take to someone in the hospital in the author’s culture? A．Books. B．Fruit. C．Some cash. D．A bottle of fine wine. 33．Why do some Spanish people leave the receipt inside presents? A．To show the price of the gift. B．To make it easier to re-gift the item. C．To show respect to the receiver. D．To allow the receiver to exchange the gift. 34．How can people deal with the gift they don’t like, according to Paragraph 6? A．They can sell it. B．They can return it to the giver. C．They can give it to someone else. D．They can take it back to the store. 35．What is the passage mainly about? A．The gift-giving culture in different countries. B．Recent changes in gift-giving in Europe. C．Why we should re-gift unwanted presents. D．How people in Spain give and receive gifts. 四．阅读还原句子（10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Asking for advice is not so easy. In a recent study, 74 percent of people said they were afraid to ask for advice. But people who ask for advice are more likely to succeed at a task. So how do you ask for advice? 36 Look for the best person to give you advice. It might be easy to ask all your friends on social media for advice at once, but will you value all the advice equally (同等地)? 37 It might be better to choose one or two people whose opinions you value most. Ideally, you can ask for advice from people who have experience in the topic you’re asking about. Provide enough information clearly. For example, imagine you can’t decide how to organize a club activity. When you ask for advice, you should mention the topic, the place and the time. 38 If your questions need a lot of thought, you should ask the person for advice when he or she is clear-headed. 39 Imagine you want to own a business someday. Do you ask a business owner, “ 40 ” No, because it’s not specific enough. Instead, try asking, “What college classes did you find helpful in starting a business?” Sometimes you may need to ask for a second opinion. If you can’t solve your problem by following the first person’s advice, why not ask someone else who may think differently? The key is: Don’t be afraid to ask for advice. A．Probably not. B．The answer is yes! C．Here are some ways for you. D．What advice do you have for me? E．You should also consider when to ask. F．Asking for advice can take a lot of time. G．Be specific (具体的) when you ask questions. 五．语法填空（10分） Are you going abroad on holiday this year? Are you thinking about 41 (learn) some of the local languages? Well, you should learn about body language too. It means you use your head and hands instead of words 42 (express) meanings. Body language has different meanings in different cultures. For example, in some Western cultures, people show they don’t understand or they don’t care about something by 43 (shrug) their shoulders. This isn’t common in other places. In Japan, people bow when they greet each other or say 44 (goodbye). This isn’t done in other parts of the world. Another example is nodding. People usually nod 45 (show) agreement. However, in Greece, people nod their heads to say “no”! Sometimes people think they understand the body language of a certain culture, but in fact, they 46 (do not). Take kissing as an example. In many European cultures, women and children are kissed on each cheek by family members or friends. Do you know that Europeans often greet close friends with a kiss on the cheek? However, it is uncommon for two men 47 (do) so. Instead, they usually shake hands and put their free hand on each other’s shoulder. In the Middle East and Thailand, it is very rude 48 (show) the bottom of your shoe when you rest one leg on top of the other. So be 49 (care) when you’re sitting on the bus or in a café! The world of body language can be very difficult to understand. So when you are abroad, be very aware of 50 you are saying with your body! 六．阅读表达（10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Li Ziqi’s Come Back Hello kids!
