Conversation 3 (2a/2d) — Asking for Communication Advice Jason: Professor, thanks for the helpful speech on communication. I have a question. Sometimes my friends and I argue but don't know how to make up. What's the best way to communicate in this situation? Professor: If you want to solve the problem, a face-to-face talk usually works the best. Jason: I understand, but meeting in person is not always easy. Professor: If you can't meet, just call your friend. Some of you may prefer texting, but it takes longer and can make things worse if you're not careful with your words. Jason: But what if we argue more over the phone? Professor: If you stay calm and say sorry, it will help. If it is still hard to talk, take a break. Meet when you're both ready.

Do you find it hard to have a conversation with a stranger? If you have such worries, it is time for you to learn some more conversation skills. Here are some tips for making better conversations. 1. Listen carefully and show interest in others. One of the most important things is to listen to the person you speak to. If you are a good listener, you will find some good points to ask questions about. For example, if someone tells you their hobby and you can ask questions about it, they will surely be happy to continue the conversation. 2. Choose the right topic. Some of the best topics might be the weather, sports, music, films, food, or travel. However, it is impolite to ask someone's age, weight, or other personal information. Also, if you don't agree with others, don't argue with them. Just move on to another topic. 3. Be honest and sincere. If you have no idea of a subject, just say "I don't know much about it." If you want to make the other person happy, mention his or her strong points. But don't just pretend to be nice, because people can find out you are not telling the truth. 4. Pay attention to your body language. Sometimes it is just as important as your words. Don't be nervous. Stand up straight, smile, and be yourself—you have a lot to offer. If you really work at it, you will find having conversations much easier. Task 3: Complete the table with the information from the text. How to make a better conversation Tip 1 • listen and find good points to ask about, such as his/her hobby Tip 2 • talk about the weather, sports, music, films, food, or travel but do not ask someone's age, weight, or other personal information Tip 3 • just say "I don't know much about it." if you have no idea of a subject • mention the strong points of the other person Tip 4 • stand up straight and be yourself Task 4: Read again and answer the questions. 1.

Why is body language important in a conversation? Because sometimes it is just as important as your words. 5. Which tip do you think is the most useful? Why?

Many people think they are good listeners, but in fact, most of us spend more time thinking about what we want to say next instead of really listening. Here are four tips that can help you become a better listener and build stronger relationships. Tip 1: Give your full attention. When someone is talking to you, put away your phone and look at them. If you keep checking your phone, the speaker will feel you are not interested. Making eye contact is a simple but powerful way to show that you care about what they are saying. It also helps you read their facial expressions and understand their feelings better. Tip 2: Don't interrupt. Let the speaker finish their thoughts before you jump in. Interrupting someone is not only impolite but also shows that you think your words are more important than theirs. If you really have something to say, wait for a natural pause in the conversation. A good listener knows when to speak and when to stay silent. Tip 3: Ask open-ended questions. Instead of asking questions that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no", try to ask questions that encourage the speaker to share more. For example, instead of asking "Did you have a good day?", you can ask "What was the most interesting thing that happened today?" This shows that you are sincerely interested and helps the conversation go deeper. Tip 4: Show you understand. After the speaker finishes, try to summarise what they said in your own words. You can say things like "So what you're saying is..." or "It sounds like you felt..." This not only proves that you were listening but also gives the speaker a chance to correct any misunderstanding. It is one of the most sincere ways to show that you value the conversation. If you practice these skills every day, you will find that people enjoy talking to you more. After all, everyone wants to be heard and understood. (   A   ) 1. According to Tip 1, what should you do when someone is talking to you? A. Put away your phone and make eye contact. B. Think about what you want to say next. C. Write down everything the speaker says. D. Look around the room to feel relaxed. 【解析】 题干问根据 Tip 1，当别人说话时你应该怎么做。定位 Tip 1 原文：“put away your phone and look at them”以及“Making eye contact is a simple but powerful way...”。A 选项“收起手机并进行眼神交流”完整概括了这两点。B 选项是文中批评的错误做法，C、D 在 Tip 1 中未提及。故选 A。 (   B   ) 2. Why is interrupting someone considered impolite? A. Because it makes the conversation longer. B. Because it shows you think your words are more important. C. Because the speaker might forget what they were saying. D. Because it is against the law in some countries. 【解析】 题干问打断别人为何不礼貌。定位 Tip 2 原文：“Interrupting someone is not only impolite but also shows that you think your words are more important than theirs.” B 选项“因为这表明你认为自己的话更重要”与原文完全一致。A、C、D 均未在文中出现。故选 B。 (   C   ) 3. What is an example of an open-ended question? A. Did you have a good day? B. Are you feeling happy? C. What was the most interesting thing that happened today? D. Do you like your job? 【解析】 题干要求找出开放式问题。定位 Tip 3 原文：“instead of asking 'Did you have a good day?', you can ask 'What was the most interesting thing that happened today?'” C 选项正是作者给出的开放式问题范例。A、B、D 均为可用 yes/no 回答的封闭式问题。故选 C。 (   D   ) 4. According to Tip 4, how can you show the speaker that you understand? A. By nodding your head silently. B. By sharing a similar story about yourself right away. C. By giving them a gift after the conversation. D. By summarising what they said in your own words. 【解析】 题干问如何表明你理解了对方。定位 Tip 4 原文：“try to summarise what they said in your own words.” D 选项“用自己的话总结对方所说的”与原文完全匹配。A 选项文中未提，B 选项与 Tip 4 建议的“summarise”不符，C 选项无关。故选 D。 (   B   ) 5. What is the main message of the passage? A. Speaking is more important than listening in a conversation. B. Being a good listener requires practice and certain skills. C. Interrupting others is the best way to show interest. D. Only professional speakers need to learn listening skills. 【解析】 题干问文章主旨。全文通过四个具体技巧说明如何成为更好的倾听者，并指出需要练习（“If you practice these skills every day...”），B 选项“做一个好的倾听者需要练习和一定的技巧”概括了这层含义。A 选项与文意相反，C 选项与 Tip 2 冲突，D 选项过于绝对。故选 B。 B篇 No matter whether you like it or not, social media is becoming a big part of many teenagers' lives. According to a survey, over 90 per cent of all Chinese minors use the internet, and 50 per cent of these young people have made new friends online. Social media allows people to connect with friends, share experiences, and stay on trend. However, the internet also has risks. It is important to stay safe while having fun online. First, if you have accounts on different apps, make sure you use strong passwords. Avoid using easy-to-guess information, like your birthday or your pet's name. A strong password should include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. If someone gets your password, they could steal your personal information or even pretend to be you online. Second, be careful when you talk to strangers online. Not every person online is friendly or telling the truth about themselves. Don't share personal details, like your address, school name, or phone number. If a stranger asks for such information, it is a sign that something might be wrong. Remember that once you share something online, it is very hard to take it back. Third, if you want to post anything online, think it over. Once it is out there, it is hard to know who sees it. Don't talk about things you may regret later. A good rule is: if you wouldn't say it to someone in person, don't post it online. Your future self will thank you for being careful today. Lastly, keep your social media profiles private so only real friends can see your posts and information. Check your privacy settings regularly and make sure you know who can see what you share. Remember, by following these tips, you can stay safe on social media and the internet. Your parents and teachers want the best for you. Be aware of the risks and protect yourself. (   D   ) 6. How many Chinese minors use the internet according to the survey? A. About 50 per cent. B. Less than 50 per cent. C. Almost 100 per cent. D. Over 90 per cent. 【解析】 题干问中国未成年人上网比例。定位第一段：“over 90 per cent of all Chinese minors use the internet”。D 选项“超过90%”与原文数据一致。A 选项是其中交友的比例，B 选项与原文相反，C 选项夸大了数据。故选 D。 (   C   ) 7. What kind of password is NOT considered strong according to the passage? A. A password with letters, numbers, and symbols. B. A password that is different for each app. C. A password that includes your pet's name. D. A password that is changed regularly. 【解析】 题干问哪种密码不算强密码。定位第二段：“Avoid using easy-to-guess information, like your birthday or your pet's name.” C 选项“包含宠物名字的密码”直接对应，属于弱密码。A 选项是文中推荐的强密码特征，B、D 虽未明确但符合安全常识。故选 C。 (   C   ) 8. What should you do if a stranger asks for your personal details online? A. Share only your school name. B. Tell them your phone number but not your address. C. Refuse to share and consider it a warning sign. D. Ask them to share their personal details first. 【解析】 题干问陌生人索要个人信息时该怎么办。定位第三段：“If a stranger asks for such information, it is a sign that something might be wrong.” C 选项“拒绝分享并视为警告信号”正确概括了原文。A、B 选项违反安全原则，D 选项文中未建议。故选 C。 (   B   ) 9. What does the writer mean by saying "if you wouldn't say it to someone in person, don't post it online"? A. You should always post things that you wouldn't say face to face. B. The same rules of politeness should apply online as in real life. C. It is better to communicate in person than online. D. People are usually more honest online than in person. 【解析】 题干考查对这句规则的理解。这句话的意思是“如果当面你不会说的话，就不要发到网上”，强调线上和线下应遵守同样的礼貌规则。B 选项“同样的礼貌规则应适用于线上和线下”正确传达了这一含义。A 选项完全反向，C 选项偏离重点，D 选项与文意无关。故选 B。 (   C   ) 10. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To encourage teenagers to make more friends online. B. To warn teenagers about the dangers of using social media. C. To give advice on how to stay safe while using the internet. D.

It started with a small misunderstanding, but soon we were not talking to each other. Every time I saw her in the hallway, I would look away. I felt very 1.C and angry at the same time. I didn't know how to 2.B with her. My mother noticed that something was wrong. "You seem quiet these days," she said. "What happened?" I told her about the argument. She listened carefully and then gave me some advice. "If you really value this friendship, you should be 3.C with Lily. Don't wait for her to come to you. You need to 4.B your feelings and tell her how you feel. If you stay 5.A, the conversation will go much better." The next day, I gathered my courage and went to find Lily after school. My heart was beating fast and I felt very 6.D. "Can we talk?" I asked. She nodded. I took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry for the argument. I really 7.C talking to you. You are my best friend." To my surprise, Lily's eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry too," she said. "I wanted to talk to you but I didn't know how to start." We hugged and made up. From that experience, I learned that saying sorry is not a 8.A of weakness but of strength. A 9.D apology can heal a broken friendship. If you really 10.A someone, you should be brave enough to say sorry first. (   C   ) 1. A. calm   B. nervous   C. sad   D. excited 【解析】 句意：我感到既______又生气。上文提到两人吵架后互相不理睬，作者在走廊里会移开目光，说明心情低落。and 连接 angry，前面应是表示负面情绪的形容词，sad 最符合语境。calm 冷静（与 angry 矛盾），nervous 紧张（尚未到道歉阶段），excited 兴奋（完全不符）。故选 C。 (   B   ) 2. A. argue   B. communicate   C. prefer   D. express 【解析】 句意：我不知道如何与她______。根据后文妈妈的建议和全文主题，此处应是“沟通”。communicate with sb 意为“与某人交流”。argue with 虽然搭配正确，但与想和好的语境矛盾；prefer 与 express 不搭配 with。故选 B。 (   C   ) 3. A. impolite   B. personal   C. sincere   D. nervous 【解析】 句意：如果你真的珍惜这段友谊，你应该对 Lily ______。后文说不要等她来找你，要主动表达感受，可见是建议真诚面对朋友。sincere 意为“真诚的”，符合语境。impolite 不礼貌的，personal 个人的，nervous 紧张的，均不符合。故选 C。 (   B   ) 4. A. hide   B. express   C. trust   D. offer 【解析】 句意：你需要______你的感受并告诉她你的真实想法。后文 tell her how you feel 提示前面应是“表达”感受。express your feelings 是常用搭配。hide 隐藏（与文意相反），trust 信任（后不直接接 feelings），offer 提供（不符合）。故选 B。 (   A   ) 5. A. calm   B. angry   C. nervous   D. sad 【解析】 句意：如果你保持______，对话会顺利得多。妈妈在给出沟通建议，stay calm 表示“保持冷静”，符合说话语境。angry 与“顺利”矛盾，nervous 和 sad 也是负面情绪。故选 A。 (   D   ) 6. A. calm   B. sincere   C. impolite   D. nervous 【解析】 句意：我的心跳加速，感到非常______。上文“My heart was beating fast”（心跳加速）是紧张的典型表现，所以 felt very nervous 正确。calm 与心跳加速矛盾，sincere 和 impolite 无法从心跳推知。故选 D。 (   C   ) 7. A. argue   B. trust   C. miss   D. prefer 【解析】 句意：我真的很______和你聊天。道歉时通常会表达对过去美好时光的怀念，miss talking to you 表示“怀念和你聊天的时光”，最能打动对方。argue 与道歉语境矛盾，trust 和 prefer 虽语法正确但不如 miss 贴切。故选 C。 (   A   ) 8. A. sign   B. expression   C. detail   D. communication 【解析】 句意：道歉不是软弱的______，而是坚强的体现。a sign of... 表示“……的标志/迹象”，最符合。expression 表达，detail 细节，communication 沟通，均不搭配 of weakness。故选 A。 (   D   ) 9. A. nervous   B. impolite   C. personal   D. sincere 【解析】 句意：一个______的道歉能修复破裂的友谊。修饰 apology 常用 sincere（真诚的），文章前半部分也多次强调 sincere。nervous 紧张的，impolite 不礼貌的，personal 个人的，均不能体现道歉的正面效果。故选 D。 (   A   ) 10. A. trust   B. argue with   C. prefer   D. express 【解析】 句意：如果你真的______某人，你应该勇敢地先道歉。trust sb 表示“信任某人”，只有信任对方才会愿意先低头。argue with 与文意相反，prefer 更喜欢，express 表达，均不符合。故选 A。 五、写作 请根据以下情景写一封邀请信，邀请你的一位朋友来参加学校举办的“沟通技巧”讲座。 【写作要点】 · 讲座主题：How to Communicate Better with Others · 时间：下周五下午2:30 · 地点：学校报告厅 · 演讲人：来自北京大学的李教授 · 为什么应该参加（使用 if 条件句） 【句型库】 · I'm writing to invite you to... 我写信邀请你…… · If you come, you will... 如果你来，你会…… · I'm sure you will benefit a lot from it. 我相信你会从中受益匪浅。 · I hope you can make it. 我希望你能来。 · Looking forward to seeing you there. 期待在那里见到你。 【可用词汇】 communication, speech, professor, detail, offer, trust, sincere, express, in person, nervous, calm, prefer, argue 要求： 1. 至少80词； 2. 包含所有写作要点； 3. 至少使用两处 if 条件句； 4. 至少使用本单元学过的八个词汇或短语。 【参考范文】 Dear Wang Ming, I'm writing to invite you to a speech on "How to Communicate Better with Others" next Friday afternoon.

Professor: If you can't meet, just call your friend. Some of you may prefer texting, but it takes longer and can make things worse if you're not careful with your words. Jason: But what if we argue more over the phone? Professor: If you stay calm and say sorry, it will help. If it is still hard to talk, take a break. Meet when you're both ready.

Section B · Pre-reading & Task 读前思考：当你和陌生人第一次见面时，你会聊什么？你觉得怎样才能让对话更顺畅？ How to Make a Better Conversation Do you get nervous when you talk to someone? Do you find it hard to have a conversation with a stranger? If you have such worries, it is time for you to learn some more conversation skills. Here are some tips for making better conversations. 1. Listen carefully and show interest in others. One of the most important things is to listen to the person you speak to. If you are a good listener, you will find some good points to ask questions about. For example, if someone tells you their hobby and you can ask questions about it, they will surely be happy to continue the conversation. 2. Choose the right topic. Some of the best topics might be the weather, sports, music, films, food, or travel. However, it is impolite to ask someone's age, weight, or other personal information. Also, if you don't agree with others, don't argue with them. Just move on to another topic. 3. Be honest and sincere. If you have no idea of a subject, just say "I don't know much about it." If you want to make the other person happy, mention his or her strong points. But don't just pretend to be nice, because people can find out you are not telling the truth. 4. Pay attention to your body language. Sometimes it is just as important as your words. Don't be nervous. Stand up straight, smile, and be yourself—you have a lot to offer. If you really work at it, you will find having conversations much easier. Task 3: Complete the table with the information from the text.

Many people think they are good listeners, but in fact, most of us spend more time thinking about what we want to say next instead of really listening. Here are four tips that can help you become a better listener and build stronger relationships. Tip 1: Give your full attention. When someone is talking to you, put away your phone and look at them. If you keep checking your phone, the speaker will feel you are not interested. Making eye contact is a simple but powerful way to show that you care about what they are saying. It also helps you read their facial expressions and understand their feelings better. Tip 2: Don't interrupt. Let the speaker finish their thoughts before you jump in. Interrupting someone is not only impolite but also shows that you think your words are more important than theirs. If you really have something to say, wait for a natural pause in the conversation. A good listener knows when to speak and when to stay silent. Tip 3: Ask open-ended questions. Instead of asking questions that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no", try to ask questions that encourage the speaker to share more. For example, instead of asking "Did you have a good day?", you can ask "What was the most interesting thing that happened today?" This shows that you are sincerely interested and helps the conversation go deeper. Tip 4: Show you understand. After the speaker finishes, try to summarise what they said in your own words. You can say things like "So what you're saying is..." or "It sounds like you felt..." This not only proves that you were listening but also gives the speaker a chance to correct any misunderstanding. It is one of the most sincere ways to show that you value the conversation. If you practice these skills every day, you will find that people enjoy talking to you more. After all, everyone wants to be heard and understood. (   ) 1. According to Tip 1, what should you do when someone is talking to you? A. Put away your phone and make eye contact. B. Think about what you want to say next. C. Write down everything the speaker says. D. Look around the room to feel relaxed. (   ) 2. Why is interrupting someone considered impolite? A. Because it makes the conversation longer. B. Because it shows you think your words are more important. C. Because the speaker might forget what they were saying. D. Because it is against the law in some countries. (   ) 3. What is an example of an open-ended question? A. Did you have a good day? B. Are you feeling happy? C. What was the most interesting thing that happened today? D. Do you like your job? (   ) 4. According to Tip 4, how can you show the speaker that you understand? A. By nodding your head silently. B. By sharing a similar story about yourself right away. C. By giving them a gift after the conversation. D. By summarising what they said in your own words. (   ) 5. What is the main message of the passage? A. Speaking is more important than listening in a conversation. B. Being a good listener requires practice and certain skills. C. Interrupting others is the best way to show interest. D. Only professional speakers need to learn listening skills. B篇 No matter whether you like it or not, social media is becoming a big part of many teenagers' lives. According to a survey, over 90 per cent of all Chinese minors use the internet, and 50 per cent of these young people have made new friends online. Social media allows people to connect with friends, share experiences, and stay on trend. However, the internet also has risks. It is important to stay safe while having fun online. First, if you have accounts on different apps, make sure you use strong passwords. Avoid using easy-to-guess information, like your birthday or your pet's name. A strong password should include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. If someone gets your password, they could steal your personal information or even pretend to be you online. Second, be careful when you talk to strangers online. Not every person online is friendly or telling the truth about themselves. Don't share personal details, like your address, school name, or phone number. If a stranger asks for such information, it is a sign that something might be wrong. Remember that once you share something online, it is very hard to take it back. Third, if you want to post anything online, think it over. Once it is out there, it is hard to know who sees it. Don't talk about things you may regret later. A good rule is: if you wouldn't say it to someone in person, don't post it online. Your future self will thank you for being careful today. Lastly, keep your social media profiles private so only real friends can see your posts and information. Check your privacy settings regularly and make sure you know who can see what you share. Remember, by following these tips, you can stay safe on social media and the internet. Your parents and teachers want the best for you. Be aware of the risks and protect yourself. (   ) 6. How many Chinese minors use the internet according to the survey? A. About 50 per cent. B. Less than 50 per cent. C. Almost 100 per cent. D. Over 90 per cent. (   ) 7. What kind of password is NOT considered strong according to the passage? A. A password with letters, numbers, and symbols. B. A password that is different for each app. C. A password that includes your pet's name. D. A password that is changed regularly. (   ) 8. What should you do if a stranger asks for your personal details online? A. Share only your school name. B. Tell them your phone number but not your address. C. Refuse to share and consider it a warning sign. D. Ask them to share their personal details first. (   ) 9. What does the writer mean by saying "if you wouldn't say it to someone in person, don't post it online"? A. You should always post things that you wouldn't say face to face. B. The same rules of politeness should apply online as in real life. C. It is better to communicate in person than online. D. People are usually more honest online than in person. (   ) 10. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To encourage teenagers to make more friends online. B. To warn teenagers about the dangers of using social media. C. To give advice on how to stay safe while using the internet. D. To compare different social media platforms for teenagers. 四、完形填空（共10小题） When I was twelve years old, my best friend Lily and I had a big argument.
