Section Ⅲ Integrated skills
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·江苏常州金坛一中月考)One morning, I stood in my kitchen, glancing at my phone, where a news story caught my eye: A teenage girl had been rescued by using a hand signal she learned on TikTok, a social media platform.My 16-year-old son, Michael, glanced over the news and said with a wink, “As you can see, Mom, TikTok isn’t just about silly videos.”
I couldn’t deny that parents usually have a poor opinion of social media.It is addictive, and there is a lot of junk on it.But as that recent news story shows, there is more on it.
A few weeks later, Halloween was just around the corner.Michael showed me some videos where people were balancing carved-out pumpkins on their heads and taking funny photos.“Let’s try it, Mom,” he suggested.
“Absolutely not,” I replied quickly.“Pumpkins on our heads? Are you crazy?”
He let it go, but I couldn’t shake off the idea.Why had I been so quick to deny something he was excited about? So, a few days later I apologized to him for my initial reaction and we decided to give it a shot.We chose our favorite outfits and took photos in a local park.The pumpkins were heavy, balancing them on our heads was uncomfortable and passers-by gave us strange looks, but we didn’t care.We laughed, and the photos we took won likes on TikTok.More than that, we created memories that would last a lifetime.Getting Michael to spend time with me had always been a challenge, but social media made it and brought us together.
In the world of parenting where closed doors and long faces are often the case, an in-person conversation can feel like a trip to the dentist.Receiving the positive response from my teenage son via technology is a welcome sign.I have to admit I am thankful for technology that allows me to connect and create memories with my son in ways I never thought possible.

The British may be made fun of for their weather-related small talk, but a recent study suggests that just four minutes of chatting can reveal aspects of our personality and influence subsequent social interactions.
Researchers divided 338 participants into two groups before meeting in person and asked each participant to complete a personality and IQ test.Within each group, participants were paired and either conversed by text for 4 minutes or had no contact with their partner.Participants were then required to infer aspects of their partner’s personality and predict whether they would act cooperatively or selfishly in two money-based strategy games.
The results showed that those who chatted scored higher in predicting their partners’ IQ and personality test responses, but were also more likely to project their own personality characteristics on to their partners.“Our research suggests that in just a few minutes of small talk, we begin to form a mental model of the person we’re talking to,” says Professor Sgroi.
Participants then met and played with their conversation partner or, in the case of the no-contact group, met and played with strangers.
The researchers then gave each participant £20 and asked them to contribute to a joint pot shared with their partners, an experiment called the Public Goods Game.
The team says people who have chatted with their partners are more likely to correctly predict their contributions to the pot.In addition, those who chatted beforehand contributed 30% more than those who did not.The results also depended on the relationships they established through small talk.
Georgie Nightingall, founder of Trigger Conversations, says that small talk is a great way to encourage cooperation in the workplace.“People are bad at small talk because it feels like there is no end to it.It can feel awkward and pointless once you have all the information you need.While asking questions helps build relationships with people, people will be happy to have a chat if you show that you care about others.My advice is to be sincere and considerate.”
5.What does the underlined word “reveal” mean in paragraph 1?( )
A.Contribute to. B.Give away.
C.Limit. D.Change.
6.What helps conversation partners predict their contributions correctly?( )
A.Their common interests and hobbies.
B.The differences of their personalities.
C.The accurate judgments of each other’s IQ.
D.Their previous impressions and connections.
7.What does Nightingall suggest we do to inspire others to communicate with us?( )
A.Avoid asking them questions.
B.Share our personal privacy.
C.Show genuine concern for them.
D.Start with our strengths and virtues.
8.What’s the purpose of this text?( )
A.To present a research outcome.
B.To describe a cultural phenomenon.
C.To assess British people’s social skills.
D.To motivate people to interact by texting.
C
It was decades ago, but it’s still one of the most memorable conversations of my life.On a long, slow train rattling north, with nothing to do but watch the rain, the guy sitting opposite began trying to talk to me.Like most young women who have learned the hard way to be cautious of strangers, I reacted coldly.But curiosity took over when he said that he was just bored, and liked talking.
So that’s what we did, for hours and hours, since he turned out to be very talkative.When the train eventually pulled in, we didn’t swap numbers — it was a conversation strictly of its time — but I still think about it occasionally on long, boring journeys, before getting a phone out and scrolling silently like everyone else.Rarely can a person cheerfully break the social taboo (禁忌) about talking to strangers without any trace of ill intention but life would be more interesting if more of us knew how to do it.
And that’s why I feel it ridiculous about a campaign launched this week to heal bitter national divides by encouraging Britons to talk to each other.Obviously, it takes more than a small talk over garden fences to unite a divided nation now.More people live alone than they did a generation ago, and we socialise increasingly through screens instead of bothering to call.In reality, social media platforms designed to bring people together have unknowingly fueled the division.
It is true that the “tube chat” campaign of a few years back failed in its attempt to make Londoners talk to each other on public transport.But even city residents who would normally die rather than make eye contact with strangers still happily join the large crowds of people by the Thames for the New Year’s Eve fireworks.They would get a far better view at home on TV — it’s not really about the fireworks, but being part of social engagement.
There’s no guarantee that this latest attempt to reconnect will succeed, but I hope that my temporary train friend then is still talking, wherever he is now.
9.What led the author to start the talk with the guy on the train?( )
A.Her growing interest in communication.
B.Her typical easygoing personality.
C.Her habit of chatting with strangers.
D.The intention of the train journey.
10.What has made talking to strangers a social taboo among the Britons?( )
A.A lack of basic communicating skills.
B.The absence of common topics.
C.The concern for personal safety.
D.The addiction to social media.
11.How does technology affect people’s mutual connection?( )
A.It is bringing people together in a larger sense.
B.It is positively helping break the national boundaries.
C.It has made people more divided than connected.
D.It is the key driving force of removing divisions.
12.What does the highly-attended firework show indicate?( )
A.Tube chat campaign can never make it.
B.TV programs at home are not appealing.
C.The charm of the fireworks is hard to resist.
D.People’s desire to connect is still alive.
