We can send text messages, share photos, make video calls, and post on social media. Yet many people feel more lonely and disconnected than ever. In 2026, a report on youth social behavior showed that over 65% of teenagers prefer text messaging to face-to-face communication. Nearly 40% said they feel nervous when talking to people in real life. What is the problem? Perhaps it is because digital communication lacks something important — the human touch. When we text, we cannot see the other person’s face, hear their voice, or feel their emotions. This can lead to misunderstandings. A simple message like “OK” can sound cold or angry, even when it is not meant to be. Good communication is not just about sending messages. It is about connecting with people. It takes practice, patience, and courage. As one expert said, “The most important communication skill is not speaking — it is listening.” Questions: 1. What did the 2026 report on youth social behavior show? 2. What is the problem with digital communication? 3. Why can text messages lead to misunderstandings? 4. What is the most important communication skill? 5. What is the main idea of the passage? Passage 2 (词数:约190) 热点导读: 2026年,心理学家马歇尔 卢森堡的经典著作《非暴力沟通》在中国销量突破500万册。书中的核心理念是:好的沟通不是批评、指责或命令,而是表达感受和需要。“你总是玩手机”可以变成“我感到孤单,因为我想和你多待一会儿”。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) Communicating with Kindness Have you ever been hurt by someone’s words? Or have you ever said something you regretted? Words have power. They can build people up or tear them down. That is why learning to communicate with kindness is so important. In 2026, a book called Nonviolent Communication became very popular in China. It sold over 5 million copies. The book teaches a simple but powerful idea: good communication is not about blaming or criticizing others. It is about expressing your feelings and needs. For example, instead of saying “You always ignore me,” you can say “I feel lonely when we don‘t talk.” The first sentence sounds like blame. The second sentence shares your feelings. It invites conversation instead of conflict. The book’s author believed that we all have the same basic needs — for love, respect, and understanding. When we learn to express these needs without hurting others, we build stronger relationships. Questions: 1. What book became very popular in China in 2026? 2. What is the key idea of the book? 3. What is the difference between blaming and expressing feelings? 4. What basic needs do we all have? 5. What happens when we learn to express needs without hurting others? Passage 3 (词数:约190) 热点导读: 2026年,远程办公已成为全球数亿人的“新常态”。视频会议、即时通讯、在线协作……当工作不再有办公室的边界,沟通能力变得比以往任何时候都更重要。一个微笑、一次确认、一句“我听懂了”,都能让屏幕两端的人感受到温度。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) Communicating Across Screens Since 2020, remote work and online learning have become part of everyday life. In 2026, hundreds of millions of people around the world work from home. They communicate with colleagues and classmates through video calls, instant messages, and online collaboration tools. But communicating through screens is not always easy. Without face-to-face contact, it is harder to read body language or tone of voice. A message can be misunderstood. A pause in a video call can feel awkward. People can feel isolated or disconnected. How can we communicate better online? First, be clear. Say exactly what you mean. Second, be kind. Use friendly words and emojis to show your feelings. Third, be present. Look at the camera, not at yourself. Nod to show you are listening. Fourth, confirm understanding. Repeat what you heard to make sure you are on the same page. Good communication is about connection — whether it is online or offline. And with practice, we can all learn to communicate better. Questions: 1. How do people communicate with colleagues in remote work? 2. Why is screen communication sometimes difficult? 3. What does “be present” mean in online communication? 4. Why is it important to confirm understanding? 5. What is the main idea of the passage? Passage 4 (词数:约188) 热点导读: 2026年的一项研究发现,语气在沟通中的重要性远超过语言本身——7%是内容,38%是语气语调,55%是肢体语言。原来,我们说的话只占沟通的一小部分。真正重要的,是我们怎么说。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) More Than Words What makes a conversation work? Surprisingly, it is not just the words we use. According to a study, only 7% of communication comes from words. The rest comes from tone of voice (38%) and body language (55%). Imagine someone says “I‘m fine” in a flat voice, with arms crossed, looking at the floor. Do you believe them? Probably not. The words say one thing, but the voice and body say something different. Tone of voice is powerful. A warm tone can make someone feel cared for. A cold tone can shut down a conversation. Body language matters too. Eye contact shows interest. Nodding shows understanding. Smiling shows friendliness. Crossing arms can signal defensiveness. “People may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel,” said a communication expert. This is why good communication is about more than choosing the right words — it is about how you say them. Questions: 1. What percentage of communication comes from body language? 2. What does a warm tone do? 3. What does eye contact show? 4. What do crossed arms signal? 5. What did the communication expert say about feelings? Passage 5 (词数:约190) 热点导读: 2026年,一门名为“沟通的艺术”的课程在各大高校选修人数排名第一。从学生会竞选到求职面试,从团队合作到亲密关系,沟通能力正在成为决定一个人发展上限的关键能力。沟通不是天生的,而是可以学习的。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) The Art of Good Communication Communication is one of the most important skills in life. Whether you are talking to your parents, your friends, or your teachers, the way you communicate affects your relationships. In 2026, a course called “The Art of Communication” became the most popular elective in many universities. Students wanted to learn how to speak confidently, listen actively, and express themselves clearly. Here are some tips from the course. First, listen more than you speak. Good communicators are usually good listeners. Second, think before you speak. Take a moment to choose the right words. Third, respect different opinions. You don’t have to agree with everyone, but you should listen with an open mind. Fourth, use positive language. Instead of “That won’t work,” say “That‘s a good start. What if we try this?” Good communication is not about winning arguments. It is about understanding and being understood. It is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and improved. And it will help you in every part of your life. Questions: 1. What course became the most popular elective in 2026? 2. What is the first tip for good communication? 3. What is the fourth tip for good communication? 4. What is good communication about? 5. Why is communication an important skill? Passage 6 (词数:约205) 热点导读: 2026年,跨文化沟通研究专家艾琳 迈耶的著作《文化地图》中文版热销。书中指出,不同文化对“好沟通”的定义差异巨大——有的文化喜欢直来直去,有的文化崇尚含蓄委婉。理解文化差异,是全球化时代沟通的必修课。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) Communicating Across Cultures In our globalized world, we often communicate with people from different countries. But did you know that good communication in one culture might be considered rude in another? In 2026, a book called The Culture Map became very popular. It explains how different cultures have different communication styles. For example, in some cultures like the US and Germany, people are very direct. They say exactly what they mean. In other cultures like Japan and China, people are more indirect. They might say “maybe” when they mean “no” to avoid making others uncomfortable. There are also differences in how people give feedback. In some cultures, people give praise and criticism openly. In others, criticism is given privately to avoid embarrassment. “Understanding cultural differences is not about judging which way is better,” said the author. “It is about learning to communicate in a way that works for everyone.” In a world that is more connected than ever, learning to communicate across cultures is a valuable skill. Questions: 1. What book became popular in 2026? 2. How do people in the US and Germany usually communicate? 3. Why might people in Japan say “maybe” instead of “no”? 4. What did the author say about cultural differences? 5. Why is cross-cultural communication a valuable skill? Passage 7 (词数:约208) 热点导读: 2026年,《屏幕时代:孩子们如何沟通》一书引发热议。数据显示,美国青少年每天发送超过80条短信,但面对面交流时间较十年前减少了近40%。当表情包取代了表情,文字取代了声音,我们正在失去什么? 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) Lost in the Digital World How do you prefer to communicate — by text or in person? If you’re like many teenagers today, you probably choose text. A 2026 survey found that American teenagers send over 80 text messages a day. At the same time, face-to-face communication has dropped by nearly 40% compared to ten years ago. There is nothing wrong with texting. It is quick, convenient, and great for sharing information. But experts worry that we are losing something important — the ability to have real conversations. “When you text, you lose the tone of voice, the facial expressions, and the body language,” said a psychologist. “These are important parts of communication.” Real conversations help us understand each other better. They build trust and empathy. That doesn’t mean we should give up texting. But we should make time for face-to-face conversations too. Maybe we can put down our phones at dinner and actually talk to the people around us. A balance between digital and real-world communication is the key to staying connected. Questions: 1. How many text messages do American teenagers send each day? 2. How much has face-to-face communication dropped? 3. What is lost when we text instead of talking? 4. What did the psychologist say about texting? 5. What is the key to staying connected? Passage8 (词数:约210) 热点导读: 2026年,一部关于青少年社交焦虑的纪录片《不敢开口》在网上引发热议。拍摄团队跟踪记录了10名“社恐”青少年,用镜头记录他们如何在陪伴和支持下慢慢打开心扉。学会开口,有时只需要一个愿意倾听的人。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) Breaking the Silence Have you ever felt too shy to speak up? You are not alone. Many people struggle with social anxiety — the fear of being judged or embarrassed in social situations. In 2026, a documentary called Afraid to Speak became popular online. It followed the lives of ten teenagers who suffered from social anxiety. The documentary showed how they overcame their fears with patience and support. Some started by talking to one trusted friend. Others practiced speaking in front of a mirror. A few joined drama clubs to build confidence. Their stories inspired many young people to take small steps toward becoming more confident communicators. “Social anxiety is common,” said a psychologist who appeared in the film. “But it doesn’t have to control your life. With practice and support, anyone can improve.” The film also reminded us that the people around us — friends, family, and teachers — can make a big difference. Sometimes, all it takes is someone to listen without judging. Questions: 1. What documentary became popular online in 2026? 2. What is social anxiety? 3. How did the teenagers overcome their fears? 4. What did the psychologist say about social anxiety? 5. What can make a big difference for someone with social anxiety? Passage 9 (词数:约208) 热点导读: 2026年,《哈佛商业评论》发表研究:在职场中,善于倾听的人比善于表达的人更容易获得晋升机会。倾听不是沉默,而是一种积极的沟通艺术。真正的倾听,是用心听见对方话语背后的情绪和需求。 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) The Power of Listening We spend a lot of time thinking about how to speak well. But what about listening? In 2026, a study published in Harvard Business Review found that people who are good listeners are actually more likely to get promoted than people who are good speakers. What is active listening? It is not just staying silent while the other person talks. Active listening means giving your full attention, asking questions, showing that you understand, and withholding judgment. It is about hearing not just the words, but the feelings behind them. Here are some tips for active listening. First, make eye contact and put away distractions. Second, nod and use small sounds like “mhm” to show you are following. Third, ask open-ended questions to encourage the speaker. Fourth, reflect back what you heard — “So what you are saying is” — to check your understanding. “Listening is a superpower,” said a communication coach. “It makes people feel valued and understood.” Great communicators are not the ones who talk the most. They are the ones who listen the best. Questions: 1. What did the 2026 study in Harvard Business Review find? 2. What is active listening? 3. What are the four tips for active listening? 4. How can you check your understanding? 5. What did the communication coach say about listening? Passage 10 (词数:约212) 热点导读: 2026年,一篇名为《当我真正开始沟通》的短文在社交媒体上刷屏。作者写道:“我不再用‘你总是’开头,而用‘我感到’;我不再急于证明我是对的,而先试着理解对方。沟通,原来是一门需要练习的艺术。” 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题(本题共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分) What Makes Good Communication? This is the big question of this unit: What makes good communication? After reading about digital communication, nonviolent communication, screen-based interactions, body language, and active listening, we might begin to find our answer. Perhaps good communication is about honesty. It means saying what you really mean, without hiding behind screens or fear. But honesty should always be paired with kindness. Perhaps good communication is about empathy. It is about putting yourself in the other person‘s shoes and trying to understand their feelings. When people feel understood, they are more open to listening. Perhaps good communication is about balance. It is about knowing when to speak and when to listen. It is about choosing the right words, the right tone, and the right moment. In 2026, a short essay titled When I Truly Began to Communicate went viral on social media. The author wrote, “I no longer start sentences with ‘you always.’ I start with ‘I feel.’ I no longer rush to prove I am right. I try to understand first.” Good communication takes practice. But it is a skill that can change lives — and it is never too late to learn. Questions: 1. What is the big question of this unit? 2. What are three key elements of good communication? 3. Why should honesty be paired with kindness? 4. What did the viral essay author write about? 5. What is the final message of the passage? 解析版答案 答题规范说明: 细节题(第1-4题):答案不超过8-10个单词 推理/概括/观点题(第5题):答案不超过15-20个单词 解析:包含原文定位句、推理过程与答案提炼逻辑 Passage 1 — The Lost Art of Conversation 1.
