Part 3 Reading (40分)
VI. 阅读理解 (40分)
A篇 (12分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
In a digital age, the way we communicate has changed greatly. A recent study focused on how teenagers prefer to handle conflicts. The results were surprising. While texting is fast and easy, most teens admit that serious conversations should happen in person. One reason is that text messages lack tone and body language. A simple phrase like “OK” can be read as angry, sad, or neutral. This often leads to misunderstandings.
Fifteen-year-old Lisa shared her experience. “I once had a big fight with my best friend over a text message. She wrote ‘Fine. Whatever.’ I thought she was mad at me. The next day at school, I realised she was just busy and didn’t mean to be rude. We talked in person and fixed the problem easily.” Experts suggest that when a topic is emotional or important, we should communicate face-to-face. This allows both parties to see each other’s gestures and hear the tone of voice, which helps avoid embarrassment. Some schools have started teaching “digital manners” to help students choose the right medium for different situations.
1. What does the study focus on?
A. How teenagers text each other.
B. How teenagers deal with disagreements.
C. How schools teach digital manners.
D. How parents communicate with teens.
2. Why can a text message like “OK” cause problems?
A. Because it is too long.
B. Because it has no body language or tone.
C. Because it is a rude word.
D. Because teenagers don’t like it.
3. What did Lisa learn from her experience?
A. Texting is the fastest way to communicate.
B. She should never text her friend again.
C. In-person talk can solve misunderstandings better.
D. Her friend was always rude to her.
4. The underlined word “neutral” in paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A. 开心的
B. 中性的,不带感情的
C. 愤怒的
D. 困惑的
5. According to experts, when should we communicate in person?
A. When we want to send a quick reminder.
B. When we are sharing a funny video.
C. When the topic is emotional or important.
D. When we want to earn money online.
6. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Texting is better than in-person communication.
B. Teenagers should not use social media.
C. Choosing the right communication medium is important.
D. Gestures are useless in communication.

Effective communication is not just about speaking clearly. It also involves listening and understanding the other person’s ___1___. One common problem is that people often ___2___ to the first half of a sentence and stop listening. This can make the other person feel ___3___. To become a better communicator, you should try to focus fully on the speaker. Put away your phone and make eye contact. A small ___4___ like nodding your head shows that you are paying attention. If you don’t understand something, it is okay to ask questions politely. For example, you can say, “Could you please ___5___ that?” This is much better than pretending to understand. Another helpful tip is to avoid ___6___ the speaker. Wait until they finish their thought before you share your opinion. Remember, good communication is a two-way street.

D篇 (4分)阅读短文,用完整的句子回答问题。
A new social media app called “SpeakEasy” has become popular among teenagers. Unlike other platforms, SpeakEasy does not allow text messaging. Users can only communicate using voice notes, video calls, or a special “gesture library” where they send simple animations like thumbs-up or waving hands. The creators say the app is designed to reduce online embarrassment and improve real communication. According to a company survey, 78% of users feel less anxious when using SpeakEasy compared to texting apps. One user, Mike, said, “When I text, I often worry about my pronunciation or word choice. With voice notes, I feel more natural.” The app also has a system that divides conversations into “work” and “social” modes. Based on user feedback, the company plans to add a feature that allows people to apologise with a recorded voice message.

参考范文:
Dear Editor,
In my opinion, good communication is more than just words. I once had a misunderstanding with a friend because of a text message. I realised that sending a long text couldn’t fix the problem properly. So we talked in person. When we met, I saw his sad gesture and heard his voice. That helped me avoid further embarrassment. Now, I always try to communicate face to face when the topic is important. Effective communication requires us to listen and respect others.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
