Section Ⅰ　“Reading”的课文习读环节 [课时检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A As we enjoyed our trip in Paris, I noticed that the people we came across were helpful, kind and nice. One day, an employee from a burger place across the street from our hotel noticed my Cleveland Cavaliers cap. We struck up a conversation about basketball and he encouraged me to visit his establishment. The next day we stopped there — a snack bar, and the guy that I talked to wasn't there. Overall, there was room for about a dozen people to eat in the place. The guy that was taking my order spoke a little English, just enough for me to understand. Midway through my attempt to place my order, he apologized that his English wasn't very good. I thought for a split second and responded “et mon francais est très mal！” He froze for a moment and the look on his face was priceless. It was some combination (混合) of shock, surprise, being impressed and a little amusement. He shook my hand and said “okay, okay that's good！” It was just a small connection with someone on the other side of the world, someone I'll probably never see again. But for that instant there was a cool connection between two people, both understanding that speaking other languages wasn't easy! Both appreciating each other's effort to communicate in a way that the other person would understand, no matter how bad our attempts were. Later I found that my direct translation wasn't exactly what I intended. I didn't find that out until much later! I was attempting to say “and my French is very bad”， what came out instead was “and my French is very wrong”. That was so much better because I just proved my point even more without knowing it. Perhaps the best part of the story is that the burger that I got was the best burger that I've ever had in my life! I still dream about that burger and laugh every time I think about going to that burger spot. 语篇解读：：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在巴黎旅行时在语言交流方面的经历和感悟。 1．What does the author think of their trip in Paris?

A year later, a woman stopped to say hello, and she said something that changed his perspective on his daily ritual.“She said, ‘You know, every morning when I see you sitting here, I know that everything is going to be OK，’” Nixon recalls.“That was when I knew: I needed to pay attention to the people walking past.I needed to make eye contact and let people know that we matter to each other.” Instead of staring straight ahead at the waterfront, Nixon started smiling at people and striking up conversations.And pretty soon, more than a few early risers began joining him on the bench, sometimes unburdening themselves and telling him their relationship, career or personal problems.“I was happy to listen.I wanted them to walk away knowing they didn't have to feel lonely，” Nixon, now 59, says.“When you're in your 50s and 60s or beyond, a lot of people feel their purpose hasn't been fulfilled.At this stage in life, this is definitely my purpose.” So, every morning, weather permitting, Nixon rises at 4：30 a．m.He puts on a hat, sips a cup of coffee, and then drives seven miles to the waterfront, where he'll stay for two hours.His presence, his openness to listen and his kindness towards strangers have led them to nickname him the Sunshine Mayor. No matter what problem a person wants to air, Nixon lends an ear.But some people just sit down and don't want to talk or share stories.They simply want to sit next to someone and share the silence.“A woman stopped once and said, ‘I just want to sit here with you，’” Nixon recalls.“We stared at the water for an hour, and then she said thank you and walked away.She just wanted a moment of peace and to know she wasn't alone.And in that moment, in that hour, on that morning, she truly wasn't.” 语篇解读：：本文是一篇记叙文。Al Nixon在八年前决定用坐在长凳上欣赏海滩风光的方式来开始自己的一天，但是一年后他改变了做法，他不只是欣赏风景，而是开始对人们微笑，展开对话，学会倾听过往的人，从而被人们称为“阳光市长”。 5．Why did Nixon decide to begin his day from the bench eight years ago? A．To develop a habit. B．To seek mental power. C．To enjoy seaside views. D．To interact with strangers. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段中“I call it ‘life rising’ because watching a sunrise makes me feel positive and centered ...It is Nixon's own version of daily motivation.”可知，八年前，Nixon为了寻找精神力量，决定从坐在长凳上看日出来开始他一天的生活。 6．How might Nixon feel after hearing the woman's words in paragraph 2? A．Inspired. B．Relaxed. C．Touched. D．Worried. 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“That was when I knew: I needed to pay attention to the people walking past.I needed to make eye contact and let people know that we matter to each other.”可知，Nixon当时应该是很受启发的。 7．What does Nixon's nickname the Sunshine Mayor imply?

D．He likes sunny days particularly. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段中Nixon的行为和第四段中的“His presence, his openness to listen and his kindness towards strangers have led them to nickname him the Sunshine Mayor.”可知，Nixon温暖了陌生人的心，所以才得到这个昵称。 8．What can be learned from the last paragraph? A．One has to learn to listen. B．Not everyone is a good storyteller. C．It's not easy to fulfill different needs.

Is it only with your ears？” For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding.We need to listen to what is said and unsaid, and also how it is said. It's important to hear what people say accurately.As Mark Twain said，“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug (萤火虫)．” If you miss something or you're not sure you've heard accurately, ask the speakers.At this point you're not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding.Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don't say.Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later? Why are they emphasizing these points, instead of something else? Listen to how it is said.People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say.While going through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss, and see if any of these signals might come up.First, voices.When others speak, notice changes in their volume, pace, and tone.Second, body language.Notice gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions.Do these sync what they are saying, or do they tell a different story? Third, emotions.What is the person apparently feeling? Now you might not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask thoughtful questions. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了聆听的内涵。我们要理解说话人想要表达的言外之意，并且要注意其说话方式。 9．What's the author's purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie? A．To give an example of wise words. B．To introduce a world－famous musician. C．To help explain the meaning of listening. D．To encourage people to fight against disability. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding.”可知，对于Glennie和我们来说，聆听不仅是用耳朵听，还应理解所听到的内容，因此此处提到Evelyn Glennie是为了说明聆听的内涵。 10．What can we learn from what Mark Twain said? A．It is important to have a good knowledge of English words. B．People should know words can be used in many different ways. C．English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary. D．The slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It's important to hear what people say accurately.”和“At this point you're not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding.”可知，准确听懂说话者的意思很重要。因此，D项“词语的细微差异可能导致误解”与Mark Twain所说的话意思相吻合。 11．What does the underlined word “sync” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Match.　　　　　　　　 B．Prove. C．Describe. D．Analyze. 解析：选A　词义猜测题。画线词前的修饰词“these”指代前一句中的“gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions”；再根据画线词后的“what they are saying, or do they tell a different story”可推断，画线词与A项意思相近，意为“匹配”。 12．What is the best title for this text? A．Speak While You Listen B．Listen Beyond Words C．Read Between Lines D．Think as You Talk 解析：选B　标题归纳题。本文主要说明通过观察说话人的说话方式来听懂说话人想表达的言外之意，故B项适合作本文标题。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 How to Be a Good Listener to Your Family Communication is important for strong family relationships.However, if you don't truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate.__13__ Listen actively.When listening to a family member, do not let your mind wander to other things.It's important to make your family member feel heard and valued.Put your phone away and give them your full attention.Never think about other things when someone is talking.__14__ Repeat what has been said.Briefly summarizing what the speaker has said can go a long way towards effective communication.Everyone wants to feel valued and heard, so repeating a family member's point can show you are listening.__15__ It can really allow you and your family to communicate better as well. Do not interrupt.__16__ Always allow a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your response.This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished talking.Do not talk over someone either.No matter how curious you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the other person has finished. ___17__ Never rush the person into talking.Do not break in before the speaker is finished just to hurry the speaker along.Never say things like “Can you get to the point？” This will make it seem like you are not interested in the conversation. A．Avoid hurrying the speaker. B．Instead, focus on what's being said. C．People tend to pause when they speak. D．Interrupting can put breaks on effective conversation. E．It can help you make sure you have understood the speaker. F．When someone finishes talking, ask questions if necessary. G．Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了和家人沟通时如何做一名好的听众。 13．选G　上文提到沟通对于家庭关系非常重要，建议真正地听别人说话。故G项“练习聆听的技巧可以帮助你更好地交流，建立更牢固的关系”承接上文，符合语境。G项中的“listening skills”照应空前的“truly listen”。 14．选B　根据本段内容尤其是空前一句“当别人讲话的时候不要去想其他事情”可知，B项“而要关注对方正在说的内容”承接上文，符合语境。B项中的“what's being said”照应前文中的“someone is talking”。 15．选E　本段紧扣“重复别人说过的话”进行论证，空处与前一句构成递进关系，故E项“它能帮助你确认自己已经理解了说话者的意思”承接上文，符合语境。E项中的“It”指代前一句中的“repeating a family member's point”。 16．选D　空前提到“不要打断”。故D项“打断会阻碍有效的交流”承接上文，符合语境。D项中的“Interrupting”对应前一句中的“interrupt”。 17．选A　根据空后的“Never rush the person into talking.”可知，本段的主题是“避免催促说话人”。故A项“不要催别人”能概括本段主旨。A项中的“hurrying”照应空后一句中的“rush”。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
