C．Classroom lessons can teach you how to make friends. 【答案】17．A 18．B 19．C 20．A 【原文】 What Sarah feared most was that she would never fit in. As a new student, she always sat alone in the classroom. Whether anyone would talk to her remained unknown. One day, what she found in her desk changed everything — a handwritten letter.The letter said, “That you are brave enough to come here alone inspires me.” It was signed “A Secret Friend.” Who wrote the letter puzzled Sarah all morning. Why someone would care about her was beyond her understanding. But what she felt was warmth. The next day, she decided to find out. Whoever left the letter must be in her class. She observed everyone carefully. Finally, she noticed a shy boy, Mark, who always looked away when their eyes met. That he might be the one occurred to her suddenly. She walked to him and asked, “Was it you?” Mark nodded, with his face red. “What you wrote made me feel less lonely,” Sarah said. “Whether we can be friends is something I really hope for.”  Mark smiled. It turned out that he had been lonely, too. How a simple letter could start a friendship amazed both of them. From that day on, they sat together every day. What Sarah learned was that kindness, no matter how small, can change someone’s life. Whoever takes the first step to reach out may find a friend for life. And that is something no classroom lesson can teach. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Join the Youth Conservation Corps! Love being outdoors and curious about environmental issues?

As Amy’s interests grew, she started to ignore June. Though hurt, June was still there when Amy needed support. But Amy brushed off June’s problems with “Later”.

A friend or just a convenience?” June cried. To her shock, Amy screamed back. “June, I hate you!” With these words, Amy stormed out and shut the door hard.

Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn proper boundaries. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words — not fists — to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 28．(2.5分)What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior? A．They are interested in acting. B．They are shy with the strangers. C．They are fond of their playmates. D．They are tired of playing games. 29．(2.5分)What does the author suggest parents do for their kids? A．Design games for them. B．Find them suitable playmates. C．Play together with them. D．Help them understand basic social knowledge and rules. 30．(2.5分)Why does the author use the quoted sentences in Paragraph 4? A．To present specific practical examples. B．To explain a difficult social concept. C．To prove the results of earlier studies. D．To make a clear comparison. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the passage? A．Knowledge of Toddlers’ Social Interaction B．Different Ways Kids Express Personal Feelings C．Typical Bad Behaviors among Young Children D．Ways to Build Long-term Friendship for Teenagers 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．A 31．A 【导语】文章介绍了幼儿时期友谊的重要性，指出幼儿通过模仿表达喜欢，并解释了父母应如何通过设定界限、教孩子同情和用语言表达感受来引导孩子的社交行为。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. (俄亥俄州立大学哥伦布分校的研究发现，幼儿在玩耍时表达“我喜欢你”的方式很可能是模仿朋友的行为。)”可知，当幼儿模仿玩伴的行为时，这表明他们喜欢玩伴。 29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. (这就是为什么在幼儿的社交活动中扮演积极角色如此重要——设定界限并经常提醒他们这些界限是什么。当你建立这些指导原则时，要解释背后的原因。)”可知，作者建议父母帮助孩子理解基本的社交知识和规则。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段“Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). (首先帮助你的孩子学会同情（“本在哭。是什么让他这么伤心？”），然后建议他如何解决问题（“如果你让他玩球，他可能会感觉好一些。”）。当你的孩子与朋友分享或表现出同理心时，表扬他（“本不哭了！你让他感觉好多了。”）。)”可推知，作者使用含引号的句子是为了提供具体的实际例子。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的第一句“For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. (对许多孩子来说，幼儿时期是建立友谊的重要阶段。)”可知，全文围绕幼儿期社交展开，涵盖友谊的重要性、幼儿独特的情感表达方式、父母如何引导社交行为等内容，核心是介绍幼儿社交互动的相关知识。因此，“幼儿社交互动的知识”最契合文章主旨，适合用作文章标题。 （本题10分）Imagine you’re a manager who needs to give under-performing employees productive and respectful feedback and knows they are dealing with some personal issues that have been impacting their work. How would you talk to them in an empathetic but honest way? A new study by researchers at the Stanford Accelerator for Learning explores how virtual reality can help managers develop empathetic communication skills. In the study, the participants acted as a manager in VR and engaged in a performance review with a virtual pre-recorded employee. They were asked to give critical feedback to the virtual employee as their voice and body movements were recorded. Each participant completed three study conditions. In the first condition, they had the conversation twice in a row, to see if having a chance to practice would influence their approach. In the second condition, the participant switched places after the first conversation, viewing the scene from the perspective of the employee. They received the communication (both verbal and body language) exactly as they had recorded it as the manager, before repeating it from the perspective of the manager again. In the third condition, the participant received feedback on their approach to the conversation while reviewing their interaction. The researchers collected data on measures related to empathetic communication skills, and found that using VR to practice and repeat the conversation increased the participants’ expression of understanding for the employee’s situation and the expression of emotions. They used more first-person pronouns “I” and “we” and words that express emotions. The researchers said this suggests VR is a promising way to give large numbers of managers a real-life learning experience that helps them develop these essential skills. The study has crucial implications for how to train managers more effectively. “Having the opportunity to review one’s own performance and receive feedback actually changed how people speak within a ten-minute intervention,” said Anna Queiroz, lead author of the study. “Imagine if we did that in a more structured way and measured the long-term results?” 32．(2.5分)How does paragraph 1 introduce the topic of the text? A．By raising a question on virtue. B．By quoting a college professor. C．By sharing a personal life story. D．By describing an imaginary scene. 33．(2.5分)What did the participants do in the first two conditions? A．They skipped the conversation session. B．They intentionally acted as the employee. C．They engaged in the interaction as a manager. D．They received feedback from acting celebrities. 34．(2.5分)In what aspect did the participants acting as managers change? A．Their language style. B．Their memory ability. C．Their reading skills. D．Their career goals. 35．(2.5分)What does Anna Queiroz want to highlight by raising the question? A．The implication of empathy. B．The significance of VR training. C．Advantages of feedback on performance. D．Huge demands for well-trained managers. 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．A 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了斯坦福大学的一项研究，该研究通过虚拟现实让管理者练习共情沟通，并发现这种训练能有效改善管理者的语言表达方式，强调了VR在管理培训中的潜力。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Imagine you’re a manager who needs to give under-performing employees productive and respectful feedback and knows they are dealing with some personal issues that have been impacting their work.(想象你是一位经理，需要给表现不佳的员工提供有效且尊重的反馈，并且你知道他们正在处理一些影响工作的个人问题。)”可知，作者通过描绘一个具体的想象场景来引出文章主题。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the study, the participants acted as a manager in VR (在这项研究中，参与者扮演虚拟现实中的管理者)”和第三段中“In the first condition, they had the conversation twice in a row(在第一个条件下，他们连续进行了两次对话)”和“In the second condition, the participant switched places after the first conversation, viewing the scene from the perspective of the employee. They received the communication (both verbal and body language) exactly as they had recorded it as the manager, before repeating it from the perspective of the manager again.(在第二个条件下，参与者在第一次对话后切换位置，从员工的视角观看场景。他们接收到自己作为经理时录下的沟通内容(包括口头和肢体语言)然后再从经理的视角重复一遍。)”可知，在前两个条件中，参与者都是以经理的身份参与互动，即使第二个条件中切换了视角，最终仍会回到经理角色重复对话。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段中“They used more first-person pronouns ‘I’ and ‘we’ and words that express emotions.(他们使用了更多的第一人称代词‘我’和‘我们’以及表达情感的词汇。)”可知，参与者在训练后语言表达方式发生了变化，即语言风格。故选A。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Anna Queiroz说的话“Having the opportunity to review one’s own performance and receive feedback actually changed how people speak within a ten-minute intervention(有机会回顾自己的表现并收到反馈，实际上在10分钟的干预中改变了人们的说话方式)”和“Imagine if we did that in a more structured way and measured the long-term results?(想象一下，如果我们以更系统化的方式进行这种干预并衡量长期效果呢？)”可知，Anna Queiroz通过该提问意在强调VR训练的重要意义——不仅短期有效，更值得深入研究与推广。故选B。 （本题12.5分）Digital citizenship Everyone’s talking about “digital citizenship”, but what is it? 36(2.5分) Being a “citizen” means that you belong to a group of people.

The visit outlined a broad agenda for deepening cooperation in areas critical to long-term development, including digital infrastructure. The strategic partnership with China has already reshaped Africa’s development trajectory (轨迹). And nowhere is this more visible than in the rapid 58(1.5分) (expand) of its digital economy. At the heart of this advancement lies a powerful partnership with China, 59(1.5分) combines advanced technology, financial support and deep policy engagement. By helping establish mobile payment systems and smart cities, China is paving the way for African countries 60(1.5分) (overcome) traditional development barriers and build the digital infrastructure of the future. 61(1.5分) (rely) digital infrastructure is the foundation of a growing digital economy. In the past decade, Chinese companies 62(1.5分) (establish) thousands of mobile towers and helped build regional data centers. According to the “2025 Blue Book of China-Africa Economic and Trade Cooperation”, major China-built data centers are now operating in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Egypt, 63(1.5分) (power) services from mobile banking to e-governance.

In a global digital landscape, Africa and China are advancing a new model of cooperation — one 65(1.5分) (root) in equity, access and long-term impact. 【答案】 56．merely 57．on/upon 58．expansion 59．which 60．to overcome 61．Reliable 62．have established 63．powering 64．a 65．rooted 【导语】文章以中国外交部长出访非洲为切入点，通过事实陈述与数据支撑，聚焦中非数字经济合作的成果与意义。 【详解】56．考查副词。句意：2026年1月7日至12日，中国外交部长王毅首次出访非洲，这不仅仅是延续36年的外交传统，更是强调中国与非洲的互动。空格处修饰动词continuing，需要用副词形式；mere是形容词，其副词形式是merely，表示“仅仅；只不过”。 57．考查介词。句意：2026年1月7日至12日，中国外交部长王毅首次出访非洲，这不仅仅是延续36年的外交传统，更是强调中国与非洲的互动。place emphasis on/upon是固定短语，意为“强调；重视”，所以此处为介词on / upon。 58．考查名词。句意：这一点在其数字经济的快速扩张中体现得最为明显。空格处前面有形容词rapid修饰，且前面有介词in，需要用名词形式作宾语；expand是动词，其名词形式是expansion，表示“扩张；扩展”。 59．考查定语从句。句意：这一进步的核心是与中国的强有力伙伴关系，这种伙伴关系结合了先进技术、财政支持和深度政策参与。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是a powerful partnership with China，关系词在从句中作主语，且非限制性定语从句不能用that引导，所以用关系代词which。 60．考查非谓语动词。句意：通过帮助建立移动支付系统和智慧城市，中国正在为非洲国家克服传统发展障碍、建设未来数字基础设施铺平道路。pave the way for sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“为某人做某事铺平道路”，所以用动词不定式to overcome作后置定语，修饰名词way。 61．考查形容词。句意：可靠的数字基础设施是不断增长的数字经济的基础。空格处修饰名词短语digital infrastructure，需要用形容词形式；rely是动词，其形容词形式是reliable，表示“可靠的；可信赖的”，句首单词首字母大写。 62．考查动词时态。句意：在过去十年中，中国企业已经建立了数千座移动通讯塔，并帮助建立了区域数据中心。空格处是谓语动词，时间状语In the past decade是现在完成时的标志，结构为“have/has+过去分词”，主语Chinese companies是复数，所以谓语动词为have established。 63．考查非谓语动词。句意：根据《2025年中非经贸合作蓝皮书》，中国建造的主要数据中心目前在尼日利亚、肯尼亚、南非和埃及运营，为从移动银行到电子政务的服务提供动力。空格处作伴随状语，句子的主语major China-built data centers与动词power之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词powering。 64．考查冠词。句意：以中国为重要战略伙伴，非洲国家正在迅速建设可持续数字经济的基础设施。根据空格后的单数名词partner可知，空格处应该用不定冠词，泛指“一个重要战略伙伴”，key是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 65．考查非谓语动词。句意：在全球数字格局中，非洲和中国正在推进一种新的合作模式——一种植根于公平、普及和长期影响的模式。空格处应该用非谓语动词作定语，修饰空格前的one，one指代前面的a new model of cooperation，model与动词root之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词rooted作后置定语。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假设你是李华，上周你答应帮你外国朋友Peter补习中文，但因临时参加学校紧急组织的“中华魂”汉语演讲比赛（The “Soul of China” Mandarin Speech Competition）集训，未能按时赴约，也未及时告知他。请你给Peter写一封道歉信，内容包括： 1. 表达诚挚的歉意； 2. 说明失约的原因； 3. 提出弥补的办法。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，使行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Peter, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, I’m writing to apologize sincerely. I promised to help you with Chinese last week but failed to show up, nor did I tell you in time. I feel really guilty. The reason is our school held an urgent training camp for the “Soul of China” Mandarin Speech Competition. I was selected to join and had to rush to the training, which made me forget to inform you. To make up, could we meet this weekend? I’ll prepare extra materials to help you catch up. Please let me know your schedule. Again, sorry for the trouble I caused. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以李华的身份给外国朋友Peter写一封道歉信，对未能按时帮助他补习中文表达歉意、说明原因并提出弥补办法。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 露面：show up → turn up 内疚的：guilty → remorseful 紧急的：urgent → pressing 弥补：make up → compensate for 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：I’ll prepare extra materials to help you catch up. 拓展句：I’ll prepare extra materials which can help you catch up. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I promised to help you with Chinese last week but failed to show up, nor did I tell you in time.(运用了“nor”引导的部分倒装结构) 【高分句型2】The reason is our school held an urgent training camp for the “Soul of China” Mandarin Speech Competition.(运用了省略引导词that的表语从句) 【高分句型3】I was selected to join and had to rush to the training, which made me forget to inform you.(运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整个句子) 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I was sitting next to Missy when Mrs. Bartlett announced a group project: creating a newspaper about the culture we were studying. We listed three friends we wanted to work with. Missy and I exchanged confident smiles — we’d chosen each other. Mrs. Bartlett informed us that she would consider our choice and would let us know the results the next day. The next morning, when the bell finally rang, I slid into my seat beside Missy. Mrs. Bartlett began reading group lists. Group One, Group Two — then Group Three. Missy’s name was called. Good, I thought, I’m in Group Three. But as she read the remaining names, mine never came. My stomach tightened. Then I heard the last group: “Karina, Mauro, Juliette, Rachel.” I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group: the boy who never did his homework, the one girl who always sat in the back and refused to speak, and the other girl who was always late for class? I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. “Why?” I whispered. She rested a gentle hand on my shoulder. “Well, Karina,” she said, “I need you to help your group get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.” Her words struck me like a physical blow. All this time, I’d seen myself as someone who needed the right group — but she saw me as someone who could lead one. “Will you help them?” she asked. I stood straighter. “Yes,” I heard myself say, surprising even myself. I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat, and we started awkwardly. But as we divided tasks — Mauro on finding pictures, Juliette on writing short articles, Rachel on designing the layout (布局) — something changed. The awkwardness faded into cooperation. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying their company. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On presentation day, Mrs. Bartlett listened with a soft smile. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying their company. I was no longer counting minutes until the bell rang. I found myself explaining a concept to Mauro, not with impatience, but with a genuine desire for him to understand. I listened, truly listened, to Juliette’s careful explanations about her writing. I laughed at a witty headline Rachel proposed. The day before the presentation, we were the last to leave. As we stood back to look at our project, a quiet pride settled over us. We had made this together. On presentation day, Mrs. Bartlett listened with a soft smile. Afterward, she handed back our project. A bold “A” was circled at the top. But as I looked at my group — at Mauro’s proud grin, Juliette’s shy smile, Rachel’s confident nod — I knew the real grade wasn’t on the paper. Mrs. Bartlett hadn’t just given me a group; she had given me a new way to see things. I learned that sometimes, the people you never thought you’d understand may become the lesson you never forget. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了老师布置了一个小组任务，要求学生创建一个关于他们正在学习的文化的报纸，作者和Missy原本希望被分到同一组，但结果却不尽人意，作者被分到了一个看似难以合作的小组，包括一个从不做作业的男孩、一个总是拒绝说话的女孩和另一个总是迟到的女孩。然而，在老师的鼓励下，作者决定帮助这个小组，并最终发现与他们合作的过程充满了乐趣和成就感。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写“我”在合作过程中态度和情感的转变，展现与组员之间的互动、合作进展以及团队的初步成果。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写项目展示的过程、老师的评价、团队的最终成果，以及“我”从这次经历中获得的感悟和成长。 2. 续写线索：享受陪伴——主动帮助伙伴——认真倾听与合作——共同完成项目——展示获得认可——收获成长与感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/interpret ②理解：understand/comprehend ③离开：leave/depart 情绪类 ①真诚的：genuine/sincere ②害羞的：shy/timid 【点睛】【高分句型1】I found myself explaining a concept to Mauro, not with impatience, but with a genuine desire for him to understand.(运用了现在分词作状语以及not...but...连接并列结构) 【高分句型2】I learned that sometimes, the people you never thought you’d understand may become the lesson you never forget.

It is not perfect, showing fine lines from being repaired. It tells a story of two girls’ friendship. Amy and June came across each other while traveling with their fathers. Midway, Amy gave June a bright blue clay vase. It was a small gesture, but a simple friendship between two 4-year-olds began. Years flew by. The girls grew up together, becoming the closest friends. However, people change as they grow up. As Amy’s interests grew, she started to ignore June. Though hurt, June was still there when Amy needed support. But Amy brushed off June’s problems with “Later”. Finally, June couldn’t take it anymore and invited Amy to her house, hoping to figure their problem out. Instead, a terrible quarrel broke out. “What am I to you? A friend or just a convenience?” June cried. To her shock, Amy screamed back. “June, I hate you!” With these words, Amy stormed out and shut the door hard. The blue vase fell from the shelf by the door and crashed into pieces.

Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation. Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn proper boundaries. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words — not fists — to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. 28．(2.5分)What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior? A．They are interested in acting. B．They are shy with the strangers. C．They are fond of their playmates. D．They are tired of playing games. 29．(2.5分)What does the author suggest parents do for their kids? A．Design games for them. B．Find them suitable playmates. C．Play together with them. D．Help them understand basic social knowledge and rules. 30．(2.5分)Why does the author use the quoted sentences in Paragraph 4? A．To present specific practical examples. B．To explain a difficult social concept. C．To prove the results of earlier studies. D．To make a clear comparison. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the passage? A．Knowledge of Toddlers’ Social Interaction B．Different Ways Kids Express Personal Feelings C．Typical Bad Behaviors among Young Children D．Ways to Build Long-term Friendship for Teenagers （本题10分）Imagine you’re a manager who needs to give under-performing employees productive and respectful feedback and knows they are dealing with some personal issues that have been impacting their work. How would you talk to them in an empathetic but honest way? A new study by researchers at the Stanford Accelerator for Learning explores how virtual reality can help managers develop empathetic communication skills. In the study, the participants acted as a manager in VR and engaged in a performance review with a virtual pre-recorded employee. They were asked to give critical feedback to the virtual employee as their voice and body movements were recorded. Each participant completed three study conditions. In the first condition, they had the conversation twice in a row, to see if having a chance to practice would influence their approach. In the second condition, the participant switched places after the first conversation, viewing the scene from the perspective of the employee. They received the communication (both verbal and body language) exactly as they had recorded it as the manager, before repeating it from the perspective of the manager again. In the third condition, the participant received feedback on their approach to the conversation while reviewing their interaction. The researchers collected data on measures related to empathetic communication skills, and found that using VR to practice and repeat the conversation increased the participants’ expression of understanding for the employee’s situation and the expression of emotions. They used more first-person pronouns “I” and “we” and words that express emotions. The researchers said this suggests VR is a promising way to give large numbers of managers a real-life learning experience that helps them develop these essential skills. The study has crucial implications for how to train managers more effectively. “Having the opportunity to review one’s own performance and receive feedback actually changed how people speak within a ten-minute intervention,” said Anna Queiroz, lead author of the study. “Imagine if we did that in a more structured way and measured the long-term results?” 32．(2.5分)How does paragraph 1 introduce the topic of the text? A．By raising a question on virtue. B．By quoting a college professor. C．By sharing a personal life story. D．By describing an imaginary scene. 33．(2.5分)What did the participants do in the first two conditions? A．They skipped the conversation session. B．They intentionally acted as the employee. C．They engaged in the interaction as a manager. D．They received feedback from acting celebrities. 34．(2.5分)In what aspect did the participants acting as managers change? A．Their language style. B．Their memory ability. C．Their reading skills. D．Their career goals. 35．(2.5分)What does Anna Queiroz want to highlight by raising the question? A．The implication of empathy. B．The significance of VR training. C．Advantages of feedback on performance. D．Huge demands for well-trained managers. （本题12.5分）Digital citizenship Everyone’s talking about “digital citizenship”, but what is it? 36(2.5分) Being a “citizen” means that you belong to a group of people.

We listed three friends we wanted to work with. Missy and I exchanged confident smiles — we’d chosen each other. Mrs. Bartlett informed us that she would consider our choice and would let us know the results the next day. The next morning, when the bell finally rang, I slid into my seat beside Missy. Mrs. Bartlett began reading group lists. Group One, Group Two — then Group Three. Missy’s name was called. Good, I thought, I’m in Group Three. But as she read the remaining names, mine never came. My stomach tightened. Then I heard the last group: “Karina, Mauro, Juliette, Rachel.” I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group: the boy who never did his homework, the one girl who always sat in the back and refused to speak, and the other girl who was always late for class? I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. “Why?” I whispered. She rested a gentle hand on my shoulder. “Well, Karina,” she said, “I need you to help your group get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.” Her words struck me like a physical blow. All this time, I’d seen myself as someone who needed the right group — but she saw me as someone who could lead one. “Will you help them?” she asked. I stood straighter. “Yes,” I heard myself say, surprising even myself. I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat, and we started awkwardly. But as we divided tasks — Mauro on finding pictures, Juliette on writing short articles, Rachel on designing the layout (布局) — something changed. The awkwardness faded into cooperation. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying their company. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On presentation day, Mrs. Bartlett listened with a soft smile. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $听力考试正式开始。Do you have any idea about the winter vacation?
