Section 9　 Reading Club (自修课) [课时检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A My family just got back from a wonderful vacation. It was 10 days of good food, great sun and beautiful beaches. One day nearly ruined our trip, though. I had caught a bad cold, and I was thinking about staying at home. But my wife had her heart set on the beach, and because we have three small children, I came along to help out. We arrived, and my wife was in heaven. I wasn't as enthusiastic. The sand wasn't nearly as soft as I like. And the surf was much rougher, which certainly didn't please my kids. As I kept comparing this beach to other ones, my mood deteriorated. I was about to get into another big argument with my wife when I remembered three little words：“disagree and commit”. It's a principle that encourages healthy discussion and disagreement during the decision-making process, but that requires full support for a decision once made. In the case of our vacation, I had agreed to let my wife pick the beach for the day. Because of my cold, I would have found something wrong with just about any beach. And complaining would have just made everyone else unhappy, too. So, I did the opposite. I looked for all the great things about the beach and voiced them out loud. And guess what? I survived those hours on the beach. In all our relationships, we're looking for support. Of course, good friends should be able to have healthy disagreements. But when it comes to making decisions, there are times when all the discussion in the world won't change another person's mind. When that happens, ask yourself, “Can I disagree and commit？” If you can, you'll show your partner you're willing to go all in and they'll do the same for you. I know it has saved my most precious relationships countless times over the years. And it's a major reason why after 11 years of marriage, three kids, and even the stress of a family vacation, the relationship between my wife and me is stronger than ever. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述在一次海滩旅行时，因为自己情绪不好差点儿毁了家庭度假的事情，谈论了在人际关系中“不同意也遵从”的重要性。 1．What almost ruined the author's family vacation? A．The trip to the beach. B．The kids' bad cold. C．The author's three kids. D．The heart attack of his wife. 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The sand wasn't nearly as soft as I like. And the surf was much rougher, which certainly didn't please my kids.”以及第三段中的“As I kept comparing this beach to other ones, my mood deteriorated.”可推断，到海滩的旅行差点儿毁了作者的家庭度假。 2．What does the underlined word “deteriorated” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Got silent.　　　　　　 B．Turned thrilled. C．Became terrible. D．Remained calm. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“I was about to get into another big argument with my wife”可知，作者情绪极差，从而推断出画线词deteriorated意为“变得极差”，与C项意思最为接近。 3．How did the author translate “disagree and commit” into his action? A．By comparing the beach to others. B．By complaining about the dry sand. C．By pointing out good things about the beach. D．By having a violent argument with his dear wife. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I looked for all the great things about the beach and voiced them out loud.”可知，作者通过指出海滩的美好一面把那三个词变成了行动。 4．What does the author suggest doing in relationships? A．Trying to change others' minds. B．Finding disagreements with others. C．Expressing the complaint and anger. D．Supporting others though disagreeing. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，作者建议在人际关系中，尽管不同意，也要支持他人。 B Have you ever felt so convinced you were right about something, that the thought of anyone challenging your belief could only mean they didn't know as much as you did? If you have, you're not alone. Here's why: you don't have all the facts, but believe that you do.So you may stand your ground during heated debates, according to a new study.“Most people on average do this，” said the study co-author Angus Fletcher, a professor at Ohio State University. In the experiment, 1,261 adults were divided into three groups to read an article about a fictional school that lacked water.One group read an article that only gave reasons why the school should merge (合并) with another that had water; the second group's article only gave reasons for staying separate and hoping for other solutions.The third control group read all the arguments for the schools merging and for staying separate. Fletcher's findings showed that the two groups who received only half the facts — either just the pro-merging or the just the anti-merging arguments — believed they had enough information to make a good decision.What Fletcher didn't expect the most was that once everyone was given the other half of the argument, their opinions shifted to be equal to the control group who had both sets of facts from the beginning. Therefore, curiosity about all sides of an argument can help resolve conflicts naturally.“If you feel yourself being annoyed by someone, take a step back and say, how much do I really know about this situation？” Fletcher says.What led to greater understanding between the different groups in the study was access to all of the facts.Once each group independently reviewed the new information, they were able to come to a general agreement more easily. He recommends that if you find yourself conflicting with a loved one or co-worker, to pause and get curious about why they are thinking the way they are.“The odds are good that they'll reveal something that would shift your perspective，” Fletcher says. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现人们在辩论中倾向于坚持自己的观点，而全面了解信息和保持好奇心能够有效帮助解决冲突，促进相互理解。 5．What do we tend to do during a heated debate according to the text? A．Stick to our opinion. B．Express our feelings. C．Hold back our emotions. D．Bring forth our thinking. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Here's why: you don't have all the facts, but believe that you do.So you may stand your ground during heated debates, according to a new study.”可知，在激烈的辩论中，即使没有掌握全部事实，人们也倾向于坚持自己的观点。 6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning the experiment? A．Its process.　　　　 B．Its outcome. C．Its theory. D．Its purpose. 解析：选A　段落大意题。根据第三段以及下文介绍的将参与者分成三组，每组阅读不同版本的文章可知，本段主要介绍的是实验的过程。 7．What surprised Fletcher about the findings? A．Perspectives of control groups remained unchanged. B．Participants sought the opposite groups' information. C．All three groups were good at making wise decisions. D．Views of half-informed groups changed with full facts. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What Fletcher didn't expect the most was that once everyone was given the other half of the argument, their opinions shifted to be equal to the control group who had both sets of facts from the beginning.”可知，让Fletcher惊讶的是，那些只了解了一半信息的小组在获得另一半信息后，他们的观点发生了变化。 8．What can be a suitable title of the text? A．Argument: to be resolved or not B．Knowledge: the more, the better C．Agreement: to convince all sides D．Curiosity: the key to “no conflict” 解析：选D　标题归纳题。研究结果表明，好奇心可以帮助自然地解决冲突，并建议在与他人发生冲突时，暂停并好奇对方的想法可能会改变你的视角，这表明好奇心是解决冲突的关键因素，故D项“好奇心：解决‘冲突’的关键”可以概括文章的主题，适合作为标题。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 No matter how friendly your tone is or how honey sweet you are in a conversation, when you use one of these two words (or both) in your sentences, the message to your conversation companion is “You are wrong”. __9__ They are “no” and “but”． These words don't say, “Let's discuss this” or “I'd love to hear what you think about this” to people. They say, “You are wrong and I am right.” If your conversation companion is also eager to win at any cost, you will have a potential battle on your hands. The result? __10__ Are you interested in a little test to see how competitive your co-workers are? Try this. For one week, keep a scorecard of how many times each person uses “no” or “but”. __11__ And, if you explore a little deeper, you'll see patterns emerge. For instance, some people use these words to gain power. You'll see how much people hate it, consciously or not, and how it stifles (抑制) rather than opens up discussions. __12__ Practically without even thinking, I keep count of their use of these two little words. It's such an important indicator! If the numbers pile up in an initial meeting with a client, I'll interrupt him or her and say, “We've been talking for almost an hour now, and do you realize that you have responded 17 times with either ‘no’ or ‘but’？” This is the moment when a serious talk about changing behavior begins. If this is your interpersonal challenge, you can do this little test for yourself just as easily as you can to judge your co-workers. Stop trying to defend your position and start monitoring how many times you begin remarks with “no” or “but”. __13__ For example, “That's true, but ...”. Another expression is “Yes, but ...”． A．I use this technique with my clients. B．Why do people like to say these two words? C．What are these conversation-stopping words? D．Nothing more can happen that will be productive. E．It's human nature to like being accepted and recognized. F．You will be shocked at how frequently these words are used. G．Pay close attention to when you use these words in sentences. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们聊天时用到频率很高的两个词“no”和“but”，这会终结谈话。作者建议使用这两个词的时候一定要多加注意。 9．解析：选C　上文提出了谈话中否定别人的两个词，下文具体给出了这两个词是什么。故C项(这些终结谈话的词是什么？)承上启下，符合语境。 10．解析：选D　根据上文“If your conversation companion is also eager to win at any cost, you will have a potential battle on your hands. The result？”可知，此处应该回答上文问题，如果谈话双方发生了潜在的战斗，那么结果应该是谈话想要达成的事情肯定没有好的结果。故D项(没有什么事情是有成效的)符合语境。 11．解析：选F　上文建议我们记录一下人们说这两个词的次数。故F项(你会对这些词的使用频率感到震惊)承接上文，符合语境。其中的“how frequently”呼应“how many times”。 12．解析：选A　下文作者讲述自己和客户会谈的经历和做法，使用了第一人称“I”。故A项(我对我的客户使用这个技巧)衔接下文，符合语境。下一句中的“their”呼应“clients”，后文也再次用到“a client”。 13．解析：选G　根据上文可知，此处作者建议我们也要注意我们自己使用这两个词的次数；下文进行了举例说明。故G项(要特别注意你在句子中使用这些词的时间)承上启下，符合语境。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
