Unit 2 Section Ⅲ Using language 课时跟踪检测-【新课程学案】2025-2026学年高中英语选择性必修第二册配套练习word（外研版）

Section Ⅲ　Using language [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 When you set foot outside of your door to drop trash, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like “I hope I don't see anyone I know” or “please don't talk to me” may run through your mind. I've also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is to talk with someone, especially someone new. Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people? Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time? Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble? Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation-Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days staying online. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people that we don't have the courage to do in reality. Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends — our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us. Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don't really believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring. But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了年轻一代不喜欢走出去结识新朋友这一现象，分析了其背后的原因，并在最后呼吁大家努力走出去，去结交新朋友。 1．What do we learn about the author?
