As the meeting continued,Li kept quiet all the time,so Sarah thought Li wasn't interested in the meeting.Sarah decided to break the ice by offering a strong handshake to express her 2.However,Li found her handshake was too strong.This made him feel 3 because he was used to shaking hands softly. Later,during a conversation,Sarah nodded from time to time to show 4,but Li still had no expressions on his face.Sarah thought he was against the plan.In fact,Li was simply thinking about the information 5. As the day went by,misunderstanding continued to 6.As they kept talking, they both misunderstood each other's body language because they had different ways of showing things.It felt like there was a(n)7 wall between them.

Therefore,we can easily think about something else while someone is talking to us. Thinking about how you will reply while someone is still talking is one of the most common barriers that stop you from careful listening. Another reason that leads to our poor listening is our ever-decreasing attention span(持续时间).According to the study by Microsoft,in2000,the average human attention span was 12 seconds;in 2013,it was only 8 seconds!Our mobile phones often distract us,which can have a negative influence on our listening.Test results have shown that being stopped by a cellphone lowers listening comprehension by 20 percent. More and more people now realize that listening is a skill that can be developed through practice.Learning to watch a speaker's body language and emotions carefully, for example,can improve our active listening.Even the simple act of note-taking or making eye contact can help us stay focused while listening. There are many rewards of effective listening.Research suggests that people who are good listeners make better leaders.And a recent study shows that workers who don't believe their bosses are listening to them are less likely to offer helpful suggestions and new ideas.As Dr.Ralph Nichols once said,"The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood.The best way to understand people is to listen to them.” )11.According to the passage,why does the brain's processing speed prevent careful listening？ A.It causes people to speak too quickly. B.It reduces the ability to remember details. C.It prevents emotional connection with the speaker. D.It allows the mind to pay attention to other thoughts. )12.What does the underlined word "distract"in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Change one's mind. B.Develop one's interest. C.Influence one's health. D.Take one's attention away. )13.Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage? A.Taking simple practices may improve listening ability. B.It is necessary to receive expensive training programs C.Good speakers are more likely to become better leaders. D.The ways of improving listening skills are useless for old people. )14.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To prove listening skills are unchangeable. B.To describe the influence of phones on people. C.To give reasons for poor listening and solutions. D.To compare listening abilities across different ages. )15.What can we learn from Dr.Ralph Nichols'words in the last paragraph? A.Understanding others is the only basic human need. B.Listening is the best way to understand people around us. C.All people hope to give suggestions to their leaders. D.Good listeners never have the need to be understood. 八年级下册Unit2单元素养调研第2页（共6页） 及 Many people say dolphins are clever.They seem to be able to think,understand, and learn things quickly.But are they as smart as humans,or are they more like cats and dogs?Dolphins use their brains quite differently from humans.But scientists say dolphins and humans are alike in some ways.How? Like humans,every dolphin has its own "name".The name is a special whistle( )Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself,usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways,too.They "talk"to each other about a lot of things-such as their ages,their feelings,and finding food.They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate.Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans.No one "speaks dolphin"yet,but some scientists are trying to learn. Dolphins are also social animals.They live in groups,and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun-just like people.Scientists believe playing together is something only clever animals do. Dolphins and humans are almost the same in another way:both of them make plans for getting things they want.In the seas of southern Brazil,for example,dolphins use a smart way to get food.When there are fish near a boat,dolphins signal()to the fishermen to put their nets()in the water.Using this method,the men can catch a lot of fish.Why do dolphins help the men?There is an advantage for them:some fish run away from the net and the dolphins get to eat them. )16.When does a dolphin usually get its "name"? A.It gets it on its first birthday.B.It gets it when it grows up. C.It gets it while eating fish. D.It gets it after it dies. )l7.In Paragraph3,“others'”refers to other“ A.fishermen B.people C.dolphins the underlined word D.games )18.What do dolphins talk about to each other? A.Their names,feelings,and playing games. B.Their ages,feelings,and finding food. C.Their jobs,feelings,and finding food. D.Their ages,feelings,and singing songs )19.Why do dolphins help fishermen catch fish according to the passage? A.The dolphins can get food that way. B.They enjoy playing with the fishermen. C.They have a good relationship with humans. D.The fishermen ask the dolphins for help. )20.What is the main idea of this passage? A.Dolphins are clever animals. B.Dolphins help humans catch fish. C.Dolphins communicate in a special way. D.Dolphins and humans share some same things. ①In the age of smartphones and social media(社交媒体)，some teenagers spend most of their free time on their smartphones and computers.However,reading books still remains one of the most valuable activities for students,especially for ninth-graders. 八年级下册Uit2单元素养调研第3页（共6页） 2First,reading books improves our language skills.Unlike short messages or social media posts（帖子)，books have rich vocabulary and proper sentences.When we read,we learn new words and understand how to use them correctly.This helps us not only in exams but also in daily communication.

(④Finally,reading helps develop critical thinking(批判性思维).When we read a story or an argument,we need to follow the logic and understand the author's ideas.We may even question some points and form our own opinions.This ability is very important for our studies and future life. 5In conclusion,reading books is much more than a hobby.It is a key to improving ourselves.Let's make reading a regular part of our lives.
