[课时检测] (标语篇配有教师讲评课件)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
What people say is only one aspect of good communication.Good listening skills and body language are also important for us to effectively communicate with others.Effective communication involves more than talking to a person.How things are said, words are chosen and tones are adopted are all aspects of good communication.
Body language, a common form of non-verbal communication, can support what a speaker is saying.Studies have shown that of the information that is received from other people, only 10% is from what they say and 40% is from the tone and speed of their voice.The other 50% is obtained from their body language.Reading body language is part of developing social skills.
Some professionals, such as lawyers, governmental security officers and doctors on mental problems, learn to read every type of body language of others to help in their jobs.They look for specific signs, while the average person reads some body language subconsciously (下意识地).Body language can involve one aspect such as the eyes, or the use of different body parts.Where the body is positioned in relation to another person or at a table is another piece in communicating what the person is feeling.Troubles may arise when body language is misunderstood.
Good listening skills clear the way to a clear message while bad listening skills create barriers which can confuse or stop the message.Good listeners can use body language by nodding occasionally to show interest and understanding, make eye contact with the speaker, repeat some of the words and feelings, and summarize what they have heard.All these can avoid communication troubles.
Poor listeners rarely communicate effectively.Barriers they commonly use may include: interruptions, inappropriate humor, judgments, criticisms, and unrelated questions.People who are attempting to communicate with a person who continually throws out barriers will often stop talking and they even get angry as they feel misunderstood and frustrated.Healthy-minded people are able to communicate with others effectively by avoiding these barriers.They are able to let their partners know what they want regularly and clearly.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了有效的沟通不仅仅是与人交谈,良好的倾听技巧和肢体语言也很重要。
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Speakers usually pay little attention to what they said and what words and tones they use.
B.Good communication means talking to a person effectively with right tones and speed.
C.Body language and listening skills are highly involved in successful communication.
D.The manner of communication is determined by the listener rather than the speaker.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Good listening skills and body language are also important for us to effectively communicate with others.”可知,肢体语言和倾听技巧是成功沟通的关键。
2.According to the studies, body language ________.
A.makes up 40% of the information received from communication
B.sometimes leads people to misunderstand what others have said
C.can remind the listeners of what the speakers are actually expressing
D.can only be correctly read by people with excellent social skills
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The other 50% is obtained from their body language.”可知,肢体语言可以提醒听者说话人实际想表达的意思。
3.Which of the following reactions of a listener may create difficulties in communication?
A.Making a summary of what he has heard.
B.Repeating the speaker's words and ideas.
C.Showing his feelings to the speaker.
D.Bringing in an unrelated topic suddenly.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句可知,不善倾听的人很少能有效地沟通,他们常用的障碍包括:打断、不恰当的幽默、判断、批评和不相干的问题。故D项“突然引入一个无关的话题”可能会造成沟通困难。
4.What's the author's purpose of writing this text?
A.To emphasize that communication involves more than talking.
B.To introduce different types of non-verbal communication.
C.To suggest ways to effectively communicate with others.
D.To discuss the different effects of good and poor listening skills.
解析:选A 写作意图题。通读全文并结合第一段中的“What people say is only one aspect of good communication.”及“Effective communication involves more than talking to a person.”可知,本文的写作目的是强调交流不仅仅包括言语交流。

语篇解读::本文是一篇新闻报道。在过去的几年里,黎巴嫩的学生掀起了一股学习中文的热潮。
20.has become 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处作谓语。根据时间状语“in the past five years”可知,时态用现在完成时;又因主语The Chinese language 为第三人称单数,且与become之间是主动关系,故填has become。
21.elective 考查形容词。空前是不定冠词an,空后是名词,空处应用形容词修饰名词,故填elective“选修的,可选择的”。
22.or 考查连词。此处为either ...or ...结构,意为“或者……或者……”。
23.to continue 考查非谓语动词。aim to do意为“力求达到”,为固定用法,故填to continue。
24.assistance 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,空处应用名词作providing的宾语,故填assistance。
25.in 考查介词。be engaged in意为“从事”,为固定短语,故填in。
26.fluently 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处应用副词修饰动词speak,故填 fluently。
27.Founded 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处作非谓语,且found与其逻辑主语the Confucius Institute之间是动宾关系,应用过去分词作状语;空处位于句首,首字母应大写,故填Founded。
28.best 考查形容词最高级。根据句意和空前定冠词“the”可知,此处应用形容词最高级修饰名词,故填 best。
29.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是lectures,且从句中缺少主语,故填that/which。
