Whether at school, in the workplace, or in the community, good interpersonal skills help us connect with others. Here are some practical tips to enhance your social abilities. Start with a Simple Gesture Many people feel shy about starting a conversation. You don’t need to say something perfect. A friendly smile, a warm greeting, or a simple compliment (赞美) can open the door. Being the first to say “hello” shows confidence and makes others feel comfortable. Find Common Ground Shared interests are the foundation of strong connections. When you talk to someone, try to discover what you both enjoy — be it sports, music, books, or movies. Discussing common topics makes conversations flow more naturally and helps build a bond. Listen Actively Good communication is more about listening than talking. Show genuine interest in what others say. Maintain eye contact, nod, and ask follow-up questions. This makes people feel valued and understood, which deepens your relationship. Handle Conflicts Wisely Disagreements are normal. When they happen, stay calm and respectful. Express your feelings honestly without blaming the other person. Try to see the situation from their perspective and work together to find a solution. A wise resolution can sometimes make a relationship even stronger. By practicing these skills, you can build a wide and supportive social network. Remember, positive relationships require effort, but the rewards are truly valuable. 21．(2.5分)What is the advice for starting a conversation? A．Prepare a well-organized speech. B．Use a simple and friendly gesture. C．Wait patiently for others to talk first. D．Start with fun and meaningful topics. 22．(2.5分)Why is finding common ground helpful? A．It helps to build a relationship. B．It makes you win an argument. C．It shows you are knowledgeable. D．It allows you to talk more. 23．(2.5分)How should we deal with conflicts? A．Try to avoid them in a wise way. B．Stay calm and talk it out respectfully. C．Express your anger clearly and directly. D．Ask a third person to decide properly. （本题10分）I was born in a small town in Pakistan called Quetta in 1980. When I was a little boy of about ten years old, I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs. One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language. After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. However, after a few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works, I read the term called “light painting”, a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day, I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results, I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not beautified digitally. I prefer getting the results directly from the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right. Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction. 24．(2.5分)What can be inferred from the author’s experience in Quetta? A．He put great effort into learning calligraphy. B．He grew bored with limited media programs. C．He was masterfully trained by TV experts. D．He created various scripts for the local TV shows. 25．(2.5分)What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai? A．The stories hidden in old buildings. B．The works of famous photographers. C．The visual appeal of city architecture. D．The unique landscape of the desert town. 26．(2.5分)How did the author achieve his best results in light calligraphy? A．By learning from others. B．By sticking to the original. C．By drawing in open space. D．By beautifying his photos. 27．(2.5分)What is the author’s role in practising his current idea? A．A traveler recording his personal journey. B．A photographer protecting dark areas. C．A researcher exploring building history. D．An artist giving life to forgotten places. （本题10分）During World War II, the US military faced a question: where should they add armor (盔甲) to their bombers to protect them from enemy fire? One approach was to examine the planes that returned from missions and strengthen the areas that showed the most bullet (子弹) holes. The conclusion seemed obvious: add armor to these locations. But Abraham Wald, an American mathematician, saw a serious drawback in this logic. He pointed out that the military was only looking at the planes that made it back. The truly important data was missing: the planes that were shot down. The absence of bullet holes on the engines of the returning planes wasn’t because they weren’t being hit there. It was because planes hit in those spots didn’t survive. This is what is called survivorship bias (幸存者偏差). Abraham Wald’s insight changed how the military approached its analysis. He demanded them to stop focusing on the survivors and instead consider the non-survivors. By hardening the areas that were undamaged on the returning planes (the engines), they were truly protecting the key parts. Wald’s work is believed to have saved hundreds of lives and remains an example for understanding this bias. In fact, survivorship bias is deeply rooted in daily life. News outlets, books, and social media feeds are filled with tales of success, making them readily available in our minds and leading us to overvalue the popularity of success. As social creatures, we often look to others to determine how to act. When we see a crowd of people celebrating a “survivor” — be it a successful CEO or a winning investment strategy — we feel a traction to follow along. To avoid this bias, we should learn to look for the “silent data” of failures. This data is often where the most valuable lessons are buried. Meanwhile, we must check how data is selected and whether it presents a complete picture. Only by seeing both winners and losers can we understand reality clearly and make wise decisions. 28．(2.5分)How does the author introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By examining logic. C．By recording history. D．By quoting an expert. 29．(2.5分)What condition may survivorship bias lead to? A．The updates are hidden. B．The database is masked. C．The judgement is clouded. D．The successes are ignored. 30．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “traction” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Pull. B．Change. C．Surprise. D．Goal. 31．(2.5分)What is suggested to avoid survivorship bias? A．Trusting survivors. B．Celebrating the failures. C．Accepting the reality. D．Analyzing complete data. （本题10分）Franklin D．Roosevelt hated small talk. He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. Only once did someone actually listen, and replied, “I’m sure she had it coming.” Roosevelt no doubt had a point. A lot of the time, people hardly ever listen to what’s going on in a conversation. They focus instead on getting their own response ready. Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction. Listening does not always come easily to people. But there are small tricks you can try. One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. Let people say more. Just because someone has stopped talking, it doesn’t mean they’ re done communicating. Another helpful habit is asking questions. Don’t plan them in advance or wait for your turn to speak. Ask for more information about something which interests you. Explore the details behind a half-told story. It’s a hard skill to get right, but it gets easier with practice. When we listen to what other people say, when we read and learn from the world,we become better. As Epictetus, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said, “Nature has given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.” 32．(2.5分)Why did Roosevelt greet people unusually? A．To test their kindness. B．To measure their social politeness. C．To reveal their passive listening. D．To avoid exchanging small talk. 33．(2.5分)What leads to strong interpersonal connections? A．Talking more to show you care. B．Finding common topics to discuss. C．Sharing your own experiences regularly. D．Giving others time to express themselves. 34．(2.5分)What does the author suggest about silence in conversation? A．It is a sign of disinterest. B．It allows thoughts to develop. C．It means the talk is about to end. D．It brings thoughtful answers to questions. 35．(2.5分)What is the text mainly about? A．The importance and skills of listening. B．The reasons for failing to listen effectively. C．Ways to improve communication ability. D．Tips on developing the ability to make small talk. （本题12.5分）Many people enjoy spending their vacations swimming, lying in the sun and staying at luxurious hotels. 36(2.5分) They head for the country, to one of the numerous United States national parks, and take advantage of the fresh air and many outdoor activities that nature has to offer. “I’m a successful lawyer from San Francisco,” says Gavin Murphy. “ 37(2.5分) I usually go to Yosemite National Park, where I sleep in a tent, hike, and enjoy the peace and quiet.” 38(2.5分) They can go fishing in a cold stream, hiking on a winding nature trail, or biking along scenic paths. At certain times of the year, guided nature walks and interesting lectures on a variety of topics are offered to park guests. Camping out does have its disadvantages, however. 39(2.5分) Even after the weather clears up, there’s still lots of mud to deal with. The weather can be quite cold at night, and there are always many mosquitoes (蚊子). Park rangers (护林员) recommend that visitors watch out for snakes, whose bites can be poisonous. They stress the fact that it is necessary that food be kept packed away, so that an unexpected bear doesn’t pay an unwelcome visit to some surprised guests. 40(2.5分) “It might be nice to sit by a swimming pool and sip (小口抿) a drink,” says Tanya Rodriguez, a nature lover, “but nature is really so beautiful, and I’ve met such interesting people here. Nothing compares to a vacation like this!” A．If it rains, there is not much to do. B．Camping is not really my cup of tea. C．But every once in a while I like to get back to nature. D．Some of the visitors have no experience of being in the country. E．Yet, nature lovers continue to visit national parks year after year. F．But there are countless others who prefer a different kind of holiday. G．Visitors to national parks have a wide variety of activities to choose from. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When Tanya Eby was in the sixth grade, her world changed in a way she never expected.

He sat in his English class, mindlessly doodling on his notebook. “Jamie Turner, please report to the principal’s office immediately.” Jamie’s heart sank. With his mind racing, Jamie grabbed his backpack and made the long walk down the hallway to the principal’s office, avoiding eye contact with fellow students. As he walked, he searched his brain for any possible explanations for why he was being called. Jamie finally reached the principal’s office. He took a deep breath and pushed it open, bracing himself for the worst. To his surprise, he found the principal, Mr. Harrison who was wearing a giant yellow chicken hat on his head, standing on his desk and waving his arms as if he were trying to fly! Jamie’s mouth fell open at the sight, too stunned to speak. “Jamie, sit down,” Mr. Harrison exclaimed, gesturing him to take a seat. “I’ve called you here because we’ve been having some complaints about your behavior. You’ve been… too funny.” Jamie’s jaw dropped further. Was that really the reason he was called to the principal’s office? The principal continued, his tone serious, “Now, we take our education very seriously here, and while we appreciate a good sense of humor, we have to draw the line somewhere. We cannot have students disturbing the learning environment with their… their humor.” Jamie couldn’t help it—he burst out laughing, doubling over in his seat as he gasped for breath. Finally, Jamie managed to compose himself enough to speak. “I’m sorry, sir, it’s just… I can’t stop laughing at the thought of getting in trouble for laughing… and your hat! It’s ridiculous!” The principal frowned, “Well, I’m glad you find it funny. But your teachers don’t.” Jamie nodded seriously, trying to contain his laughter. “I understand, sir. I’ll be less funny in class.” “Um, Mr. Harrison, why are you wearing a chicken hat?” Jamie asked, unable to contain his curiosity. “Oh, today is Animal Day for the first-graders.” Mr. Harrison grinned. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Really, Mr. Harrison? You think I’m that good for the upcoming school Comedy Festival?” Jamie asked. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 1 Life Choices（较难版02）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What might the woman be referring to?

C．To share your achievements. 18．(1.5分)Why does Forbes suggest keeping a scorecard? A．To record your progress. B．To compare with your partner.

C．Unconcerned. 20．(1.5分)What is helpful in achieving difficult goals according to Victor? A．Gaining social support. B．Focusing on broad goals. C．Keeping the goals private. 【答案】17．B 18．A 19．B 20．A 【原文】 To stay committed to your goals, try these strategies, Forbes, a Stanford professor, suggests starting with small, manageable habits. For example, practice an instrument for 30 seconds a day, or wash your hands before meals. These actions, though small, are more effective than goals like eating healthy food or getting fit, which can be hard to achieve without specific steps. Another tip is to track your progress with a Scorecard. This could mean recording how far you run or how much time you spend studying a language. Besides, he advises keeping your goals to yourself. Announcing them implies a sense of completion. It might mean that you’re less likely to follow through. However, Victor, a New York University professor, opposed that. He thought you should tell your friends or family members. He added that having social support helps people achieve difficult goals. You could ask friends to remind you when you achieve a goal, you should throw a party to celebrate it with them. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Building and maintaining healthy relationships is a key part of a happy and successful life.

When I was a little boy of about ten years old, I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs. One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language. After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. However, after a few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works, I read the term called “light painting”, a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day, I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results, I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not beautified digitally. I prefer getting the results directly from the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right. Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction. 24．(2.5分)What can be inferred from the author’s experience in Quetta? A．He put great effort into learning calligraphy. B．He grew bored with limited media programs. C．He was masterfully trained by TV experts. D．He created various scripts for the local TV shows. 25．(2.5分)What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai? A．The stories hidden in old buildings. B．The works of famous photographers. C．The visual appeal of city architecture. D．The unique landscape of the desert town. 26．(2.5分)How did the author achieve his best results in light calligraphy? A．By learning from others. B．By sticking to the original. C．By drawing in open space. D．By beautifying his photos. 27．(2.5分)What is the author’s role in practising his current idea? A．A traveler recording his personal journey. B．A photographer protecting dark areas. C．A researcher exploring building history. D．An artist giving life to forgotten places. 【答案】24．A 25．C 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文讲述了作者从学习书法到运用光绘摄影技术创作，最终通过光绘文字为废弃建筑赋予新生命的故事，展现了他用艺术为遗忘之地带来希望的热情。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“ I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language.(我全神贯注，花了数年时间学习乌尔都语的不同书法字体)”可知，作者在童年时期对书法投入了极大的热情和努力。选项A“He put great effort into learning calligraphy.(他在学习书法上付出了巨大的努力)”符合题意。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. (爱上了这里的建筑和摩天大楼，我想从不同的角度拍摄它们惊人的美)”可知，正是迪拜城市建筑的视觉吸引力让作者对摄影产生了兴趣。选项C“The visual appeal of city architecture.(城市建筑的视觉吸引力)”与原文符合题意。 26．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The best part about my work is that they are not beautified digitally. I prefer getting the results directly from the camera.(我作品最棒的部分在于它们没有经过数字美化。我更喜欢直接从相机获取结果)”可知，作者追求原汁原味的拍摄效果，不进行后期的数字修饰。选项B“By sticking to the original.(通过坚持原版/原貌)”符合题意。 27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them.(目前，我正致力于让废弃之地焕发生机，包括那些失去魅力、隐没于黑暗中的建筑。通过我的摄影作品，我尝试运用光绘书法，书写能为这些地方赋予深刻意义的文字，并讲述它们背后的故事。)”可知，作者现在的角色是通过艺术创作（光绘书法）赋予被遗忘的废弃建筑新的生命力。选项D“An artist giving life to forgotten places.(一个赋予被遗忘之地生命的艺术家)”符合作者当前的身份和追求。 （本题10分）During World War II, the US military faced a question: where should they add armor (盔甲) to their bombers to protect them from enemy fire? One approach was to examine the planes that returned from missions and strengthen the areas that showed the most bullet (子弹) holes. The conclusion seemed obvious: add armor to these locations. But Abraham Wald, an American mathematician, saw a serious drawback in this logic. He pointed out that the military was only looking at the planes that made it back. The truly important data was missing: the planes that were shot down. The absence of bullet holes on the engines of the returning planes wasn’t because they weren’t being hit there. It was because planes hit in those spots didn’t survive. This is what is called survivorship bias (幸存者偏差). Abraham Wald’s insight changed how the military approached its analysis. He demanded them to stop focusing on the survivors and instead consider the non-survivors. By hardening the areas that were undamaged on the returning planes (the engines), they were truly protecting the key parts. Wald’s work is believed to have saved hundreds of lives and remains an example for understanding this bias. In fact, survivorship bias is deeply rooted in daily life. News outlets, books, and social media feeds are filled with tales of success, making them readily available in our minds and leading us to overvalue the popularity of success. As social creatures, we often look to others to determine how to act. When we see a crowd of people celebrating a “survivor” — be it a successful CEO or a winning investment strategy — we feel a traction to follow along. To avoid this bias, we should learn to look for the “silent data” of failures. This data is often where the most valuable lessons are buried. Meanwhile, we must check how data is selected and whether it presents a complete picture. Only by seeing both winners and losers can we understand reality clearly and make wise decisions. 28．(2.5分)How does the author introduce the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By examining logic. C．By recording history. D．By quoting an expert. 29．(2.5分)What condition may survivorship bias lead to? A．The updates are hidden. B．The database is masked. C．The judgement is clouded. D．The successes are ignored. 30．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “traction” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Pull. B．Change. C．Surprise. D．Goal. 31．(2.5分)What is suggested to avoid survivorship bias? A．Trusting survivors. B．Celebrating the failures. C．Accepting the reality. D．Analyzing complete data. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文主要介绍的是幸存者偏差这一概念，通过二战时期的真实案例引入，解释了其定义、在日常生活中的体现，并最后给出了避免该偏差的建议。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“During World War II, the US military faced a question: where should they add armor (盔甲) to their bombers to protect them from enemy fire? (二战期间，美军面临一个问题：他们应该在轰炸机的哪些部位加装装甲以保护自己免受敌人火力攻击？)”可知，作者通过讲述二战期间美军为轰炸机加装装甲的故事来引入话题。 29．推理判断题。根据第四段“News outlets, books, and social media feeds are filled with tales of success, making them readily available in our minds and leading us to overvalue the popularity of success. (新闻媒体、书籍和社交媒体充斥着成功故事，让我们轻易就能想到这些成功故事，并导致我们高估成功的普遍性)”可知，幸存者偏差会导致我们的判断被蒙蔽。 30．词句猜测题。根据第四段“As social creatures, we often look to others to determine how to act. When we see a crowd of people celebrating a “survivor” — be it a successful CEO or a winning investment strategy — we feel a traction to follow along. (作为社会性生物，我们常常参照他人来决定自己的行为。当我们看到一群人庆祝一位“幸存者”——无论是一位成功的CEO还是一个获胜的投资策略——时，我们会感到一种跟随的traction)”可知，当我们看到大家都这样做的时候，我们也会不自觉的想去这样做，即感觉到一种想跟随的牵引力，traction意为“牵引力、拉力”，与“Pull”意思相同。 31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“To avoid this bias, we should learn to look for the “silent data” of failures. This data is often where the most valuable lessons are buried. Meanwhile, we must check how data is selected and whether it presents a complete picture. (为避免这种偏见，我们应该学会寻找失败的“沉默数据”。这些数据往往埋藏着最有价值的教训。同时，我们必须检查数据是如何被选择的，以及它是否呈现了完整的画面)”可知，避免幸存者偏差需要分析完整的数据。 （本题10分）Franklin D．Roosevelt hated small talk. He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. Only once did someone actually listen, and replied, “I’m sure she had it coming.” Roosevelt no doubt had a point. A lot of the time, people hardly ever listen to what’s going on in a conversation. They focus instead on getting their own response ready. Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction. Listening does not always come easily to people. But there are small tricks you can try. One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. Let people say more. Just because someone has stopped talking, it doesn’t mean they’ re done communicating. Another helpful habit is asking questions. Don’t plan them in advance or wait for your turn to speak. Ask for more information about something which interests you. Explore the details behind a half-told story. It’s a hard skill to get right, but it gets easier with practice. When we listen to what other people say, when we read and learn from the world,we become better. As Epictetus, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said, “Nature has given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.” 32．(2.5分)Why did Roosevelt greet people unusually? A．To test their kindness. B．To measure their social politeness. C．To reveal their passive listening. D．To avoid exchanging small talk. 33．(2.5分)What leads to strong interpersonal connections? A．Talking more to show you care. B．Finding common topics to discuss. C．Sharing your own experiences regularly. D．Giving others time to express themselves. 34．(2.5分)What does the author suggest about silence in conversation? A．It is a sign of disinterest. B．It allows thoughts to develop. C．It means the talk is about to end. D．It brings thoughtful answers to questions. 35．(2.5分)What is the text mainly about? A．The importance and skills of listening. B．The reasons for failing to listen effectively. C．Ways to improve communication ability. D．Tips on developing the ability to make small talk. 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．B 35．A 【导语】文章主要讲述了倾听的重要性，通过罗斯福的轶事引出人们普遍存在“假性倾听”问题，并提供了改善倾听能力的具体技巧。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段中“He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. (他认为，在这种大多数对话中，人们实际上从未真正倾听对方说的话，就好像人们在读提示卡并礼貌地等待轮到自己说话。为了说明他的观点，他有时会用“我今天早上杀了一条大蛇”来打招呼。无一例外，人们都点头、微笑，然后像往常一样继续。)”可知，罗斯福用不同寻常的方式打招呼是为了揭示人们的被动倾听。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction. (当我们不停地说话时，对方会感到不被需要和不被欣赏。当我们倾听他人时，我们允许他们处理任何压力或烦恼。因此，它能建立更深层次、满意度更高的关系。)”可知，给他人表达自己的时间可以建立牢固的人际关系。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中“One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. (一个是让沉默出现。沉默是对话生长的空间。就像这页纸上的文字由它们周围的空白所定义一样，沉默让我们的想法成形并推动对话向前发展。)”可知，作者认为对话中的沉默能让想法发展。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段罗斯福的轶事、第二段“Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. (研究证明，好的对话就像接球游戏一样，是一个来回往复的过程。它们需要的说听比例不能远离50:50。)”和第三段中提出的倾听技巧可知，本文主要讲述的是倾听的重要性和技巧。 （本题12.5分）Many people enjoy spending their vacations swimming, lying in the sun and staying at luxurious hotels. 36(2.5分) They head for the country, to one of the numerous United States national parks, and take advantage of the fresh air and many outdoor activities that nature has to offer. “I’m a successful lawyer from San Francisco,” says Gavin Murphy. “ 37(2.5分) I usually go to Yosemite National Park, where I sleep in a tent, hike, and enjoy the peace and quiet.” 38(2.5分) They can go fishing in a cold stream, hiking on a winding nature trail, or biking along scenic paths. At certain times of the year, guided nature walks and interesting lectures on a variety of topics are offered to park guests. Camping out does have its disadvantages, however. 39(2.5分) Even after the weather clears up, there’s still lots of mud to deal with. The weather can be quite cold at night, and there are always many mosquitoes (蚊子). Park rangers (护林员) recommend that visitors watch out for snakes, whose bites can be poisonous. They stress the fact that it is necessary that food be kept packed away, so that an unexpected bear doesn’t pay an unwelcome visit to some surprised guests. 40(2.5分) “It might be nice to sit by a swimming pool and sip (小口抿) a drink,” says Tanya Rodriguez, a nature lover, “but nature is really so beautiful, and I’ve met such interesting people here. Nothing compares to a vacation like this!” A．If it rains, there is not much to do. B．Camping is not really my cup of tea. C．But every once in a while I like to get back to nature.

Her friends told her that they would 41 her and that she wasn’t part of the group anymore. “I was 42 ,” Eby said. “I had no idea what happened or why they turned on me.” At the same time, her life was falling apart. A few days earlier, her parents had made a decision that would 43 her life. Eby’s older brother, who had always been her 44 , was sent to live with their dad. The next morning, Eby woke up to find her brother 45 . Soon after, her stepdad left as well.

He sat in his English class, mindlessly doodling on his notebook. “Jamie Turner, please report to the principal’s office immediately.” Jamie’s heart sank. With his mind racing, Jamie grabbed his backpack and made the long walk down the hallway to the principal’s office, avoiding eye contact with fellow students. As he walked, he searched his brain for any possible explanations for why he was being called. Jamie finally reached the principal’s office. He took a deep breath and pushed it open, bracing himself for the worst. To his surprise, he found the principal, Mr. Harrison who was wearing a giant yellow chicken hat on his head, standing on his desk and waving his arms as if he were trying to fly! Jamie’s mouth fell open at the sight, too stunned to speak. “Jamie, sit down,” Mr. Harrison exclaimed, gesturing him to take a seat. “I’ve called you here because we’ve been having some complaints about your behavior. You’ve been… too funny.” Jamie’s jaw dropped further. Was that really the reason he was called to the principal’s office? The principal continued, his tone serious, “Now, we take our education very seriously here, and while we appreciate a good sense of humor, we have to draw the line somewhere. We cannot have students disturbing the learning environment with their… their humor.” Jamie couldn’t help it—he burst out laughing, doubling over in his seat as he gasped for breath. Finally, Jamie managed to compose himself enough to speak. “I’m sorry, sir, it’s just… I can’t stop laughing at the thought of getting in trouble for laughing… and your hat! It’s ridiculous!” The principal frowned, “Well, I’m glad you find it funny. But your teachers don’t.” Jamie nodded seriously, trying to contain his laughter. “I understand, sir. I’ll be less funny in class.” “Um, Mr. Harrison, why are you wearing a chicken hat?” Jamie asked, unable to contain his curiosity. “Oh, today is Animal Day for the first-graders.” Mr. Harrison grinned. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Really, Mr. Harrison? You think I’m that good for the upcoming school Comedy Festival?” Jamie asked. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】      “Oh, today is Animal Day for the first-graders.” Mr. Harrison grinned. “It’s just part of the school theme week for the primary students. Today is animal day, and I wanted to show my support for our bird friends. Are you familiar with fowl play, Jamie?” “Uh, not really,” Jamie said, feeling more confused by the second “Well, it’s a kind of joke that involves wordplay and humor. Like, why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide!” Mr. Harrison said, grinning widely, “Well, Jamie. You have a natural talent for comedy that is rare in someone your age. You have turned a lecture into a comedy show, and a science experiment into a stand-up routine. You are a born entertainer!” “Really, Mr. Harrison? You think I’m that good for the upcoming school Comedy Festival?” Jamie asked. “I do. Jamie. I do,” Mr. Harrison said, leaning closer to him. “That’s why I’ve decided to enter you in our school’s first ever Comedy Festival! It will be a showcase of the funniest students in the district, and you will represent our school with pride!” Jamie felt like he had won the lottery. He could not believe his luck! “Thank you, Mr. Harrison! Thank you!” Jamie said, jumping up from his chair. “I won’t let you down! I promise I’ll be the best comedian you’ve ever seen!” And so, Jamie found himself stepping onto the stage the following week, shaking with nerves. But as soon as he started telling his jokes, it was like a switch flipped within him. And when the crowd erupted in laughter, he knew that he had found his calling. 【导语】本文以人物线索展开。Jamie是一个三年级学生，他被叫到校长办公室，因为老师抱怨Jamie太搞笑了，影响班级学习环境。校长发现Jamie有喜剧天赋，推荐他参加喜剧节。Jamie非常兴奋地接受了这个机会，并在戏剧节上大放异彩，他也找到了自己的使命。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由续写第一段首句“‘哦，今天是一年级学生的动物日。’Harrison先生笑着说。”可知，第一段可以描写Harrison先生从动物日话题联想到可以让Jamie利用自己的喜剧天赋去参加喜剧节。 ②由续写第二段首句“‘真的吗，Harrison先生？你认为我能胜任即将到来的学校喜剧节吗？’Jamie问道。”可知，第二段可以描写Harrison先生鼓励Jamie参加喜剧节，Jamie最终在喜剧节舞台上表现很成功，他也找到了自己的使命。 2. 续写线索：Harrison先生通过动物日联想到家禽游戏——Harrison先生推荐Jamie参加喜剧节——Jamie对此感到不可置信——Harrison先生鼓励Jamie——Jamie在舞台上表现很成功 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①将……变为……：turn…into…/change…into… ②爆发：erupt/burst 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②自豪地：with pride/proudly 【点睛】【高分句型1】And so, Jamie found himself stepping onto the stage the following week, shaking with nerves.(使用了现在分词作宾补和状语) 【高分句型2】And when the crowd erupted in laughter, he knew that he had found his calling.
