【題目】 Being able to communicate effectively with others is an essential skill for people of all ages. 1 People who want to develop those skills can learn how to do this from self-help books, workshops, and from the advice of other people.

2 Active listening involves a person listening carefully and attentively to the person speaking, restating what the other person has said — or what comes across — in a brief and nonjudgmental manner. 3 Becoming effective at active listening is one way to increase trust and understanding in a relationship, whether it is a personal or professional one.

Another tip to developing and improving interpersonal communication skills is to use feedback for different types of communication. Before giving speeches and presentations, it is always well advised to practice them before an audience and to ask for feedback before giving the real speech or presentation. 4

It also is essential in developing communication skills to use appropriate body language and eye contact. 5 For example, using direct eye contact and body language that indicates openness, such as uncrossed arms, can help to get across that a person is ready and willing to listen and to speak openly.

A.It is essential to learn how to communicate politely.

B.These nonverbal signals can convey the true feelings.

C.Most people can benefit from improving their communication skills.

D.Being active listening doesn’t mean people have to employ it continuously.

E.This kind of listening focuses more on understanding than on giving advice.

F.By doing so, we can ensure the messages are easily understood and come across as intended.

G.One of the best tips for developing communication skills is to learn and practice effective listening.

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。對(duì)所有年齡段的人來(lái)說(shuō),能夠有效地與他人溝通是一項(xiàng)必不可少的技能。文章就如何進(jìn)行有效的溝通提出了幾條建議。

1

上一句提到“對(duì)所有年齡段的人來(lái)說(shuō),能夠有效地與他人溝通是一項(xiàng)必不可少的技能。”承接上文,C選項(xiàng)“大多數(shù)人都能從提高他們的溝通技巧中獲益!鼻蓄},也能夠引出下文的溝通技巧;且該選項(xiàng)中的“communication skills”對(duì)應(yīng)下文中的“those skills”。故選C項(xiàng)。

2

由下文內(nèi)容,尤其是后文中的“Active listening”可知,此段與“傾聽(tīng)”緊密相關(guān),可知,G項(xiàng)“培養(yǎng)溝通技巧的最好方法之一就是學(xué)習(xí)和練習(xí)有效的傾聽(tīng)!鼻蓄}。 且該選項(xiàng)中的“One of the best tips”與下一段段首的“Another tip”相呼應(yīng)。故選G項(xiàng)。

3

根據(jù)上文可知,積極地傾聽(tīng)要仔細(xì)認(rèn)真的傾聽(tīng)講話人說(shuō)話,簡(jiǎn)單的重述。要求我們要理解說(shuō)話人的想法,而不是根據(jù)說(shuō)話內(nèi)容給出建議。E選項(xiàng)“這種傾聽(tīng)更注重理解而不是給出建議!鼻蓄}。該小題容易選錯(cuò)D選項(xiàng)“積極傾聽(tīng)并不意味著人們必須不斷地使用它!边@一段要求我們要學(xué)會(huì)積極傾聽(tīng)的方法,與進(jìn)行積極傾聽(tīng)的頻率無(wú)關(guān),可以推斷D項(xiàng)語(yǔ)義不通順。故選E項(xiàng)。

4

根據(jù)前文內(nèi)容可知,此段介紹的溝通技巧是“對(duì)不同類型的溝通使用反饋。” F選項(xiàng)“通過(guò)這樣做,我們可以確保信息很容易被理解和傳達(dá)!鼻蓄},對(duì)在溝通中進(jìn)行反饋的好處進(jìn)行了說(shuō)明。故選F項(xiàng)。

5

根據(jù)前文內(nèi)容可知,使用適當(dāng)?shù)闹w語(yǔ)言和眼神交流對(duì)培養(yǎng)交流技巧也是至關(guān)重要的。B選項(xiàng)“這些非語(yǔ)言信號(hào)可以傳達(dá)真實(shí)的感覺(jué)!鼻蓄},為下文介紹非語(yǔ)言信號(hào)作鋪墊。且該選項(xiàng)中的“These nonverbal signals”對(duì)應(yīng)前后文內(nèi)容。故選B項(xiàng)。

七選五的解題技巧之一是根據(jù)上下文詞匯來(lái)鎖定線索。即:要關(guān)注空白前后的名詞和動(dòng)詞,然后在選項(xiàng)中查找它們的近義詞、反義詞、同義詞、同類詞等。其次是一些專有名詞,比如說(shuō)數(shù)詞、代詞、時(shí)間、年代、地點(diǎn)/名稱等。在本文中,第1小題中的“communication skills”,第2小題中的“One of the best tips”,第5小題中的“These nonverbal signals”均與上下文有相呼應(yīng)的詞語(yǔ)。

【題目】Effective Communication With Parents

This book explains how school leaders can become successful communicators with teachers and parents。

The effective approaches to communicating with parents in the book are: Listen, Apologize, Solve, and Thank. 1 It can be a challenge to listen quietly when being attacked or when wrong information is being shared, but listening quietly without interruption is the most important.

2 Many people struggle with making apologies- especially when they feel they've done nothing wrong. But remember, we are not necessarily apologizing for our actions, but rather because of how the parent feels or what happened. For example, "I'm sorry this happened" or "I'm sorry you feel that way.”

Listening and apologizing are the two hardest steps to a successful meeting with a dissatisfied parent. 3However, they set the tone for the final two steps of offering a solution and thanking the parent for their time.

4More importantly, LAST helps to avoid the disadvantages of becoming defensive, and damaging your partnership with the parent.

Parent-teacher conferences can be difficult when there are agendas on either side that are not known. 5 They should try to focus on where the student is academically, and what the child and parents can do to help the situation.

A.These steps can feel unpleasant.

B.Choose your words carefully and thoughtfully.

C.After listening, I encourage teachers to apologize.

D.When communicating with a parent, it is important to listen quietly.

E.Give parents an opportunity to say what they want the teacher to know.

F.One thing teachers should know is to make sure the conference is student-centered.

G.When you follow these four steps, any parent-teacher conference can be successful.

【題目】 A study revealed that, in most occasions, the outcome on a given task can be improved when two people have helped each other instead of working on their own. As early as 1624 John Donne has already popularized the phrase “No man is an island”. And this is especially true, be it in the workplace, in doing scientific research, or working in events. One of the benefits of cooperation is that people can pool together their skills and wisdom towards a common aim. Because of this, they have a higher chance of being more successful. 1

Teamwork promotes diversity. The very nature of teamwork requires a group of people from various backgrounds to come together and share their thinking. 2 This level of diversity generates cultural understanding, increased communication through collective knowledge of approaches and a larger resource of opinions.

3 Working within a team helps us to create an environment which inspires collective knowledge, resources and skills. Consequently, this allows us to pick some ideas and to reflect on our own way of thinking. Teamwork also encourages self-improvement because it helps us to expand our horizons and make better use of our own intrinsic capabilities. And since self-improvement helps us in seeking better ways to perform our role within a team, it improves both the efficiency and productivity of the team as a whole.

Completion of task becomes easy. Each member has unique skills to help with the project. 4 For example, you may ask one person to do research, another to take charge of social media marketing, and another to look after delivery. Teamwork can get the most of each person’s strengths.

5 For instance, tackling about climate change by researchers who come from different disciplines (學(xué)科) could potentially lead to ground-breaking researches. In the traditional research world, one researcher pursued a theme over several decades. However, academia is fostering a fresh research culture, whereby academic works advance through the creation of interdisciplinary research.

A.Teamwork encourages healthy competition.

B.It promotes peer learning and self-improvement.

C.So a task can be assigned based on a person’s skills and expertise.

D.There are many benefits we can gain out of teamwork and cooperation.

E.The seeds of creativity and innovation spring from the exchange of ideas.

F.As a result, different opinions and problem-solving methods can be formed.

G.Cooperation has several benefits including shared risk, resources and knowledge.

【題目】 Bombardier beetles are known for their skillful response to predators (捕食性動(dòng)物).If they are about to be eaten, the insects spray their predators with boiling-hot chemicals. If they get swallowed anyway, they have plan B: Blast (爆炸) their way out from the inside.

In an experiment, scientists watched as a Japanese stream toad readily swallowed an Asian bombardier beetle. But 44 minutes later, the toad vomited (嘔吐) the contents of its stomach. The insect ran away, physically unharmed.

“The vomited beetle was alive and active,” study authors Shinji Sugiura and Takuya Sato of Kobe University in Japan reported in the journal Biology Letters. Why, the researchers wondered, does luck always favor the escape artists? To find out, they needed more of them, and they needed to feed them to more toads. Scientists gathered 15 species of ground beetles, including the bombardier beetle. They also collected Japanese common toads, which are natural bombardier beetle predators, and Japanese stream toads, which do not live in the same place as the insect.

Sugiura and Sato hypothesized (假設(shè)) that over years of exposure, the common toad species developed a greater tolerance to the bombardier beetle's poisonous chemicals than the stream toads had. The bombardier beetles were divided into two groups. Some were poked () with special tools, which caused them to release all their poisonous chemical spray. Other beetles were left alone. Then they were fed to the toads.

The toads that swallowed a fully loaded bombardier beetle were in for a surprise. “An explosion was heard inside each toad, which indicates that the bombardier beetle sent up a chemical spray after being swallowed, the authors wrote. The common toads vomited their prey 35 percent of the time. The stream toads vomited their prey 57 percent of the time. That confirmed their hypothesis about the toads' evolutionary adaptation. All 16 of the vomited insects were “alive and active” 20 minutes later. Almost all the beetles that released their defensive chemicals before meeting the toads were “successfully digested”. The test told the researchers that the beetles' boiling chemical spray was indeed their ticket to freedom.

1When Bombardier beetles are in danger, they can ______.

A.have relevant ways to escapeB.bring up the content of stomach

C.cause damage to their enemiesD.make no response to outside attack

2What was the scientists’ assumption before the experiment?

A.Bombardier beetles were always lucky to escape.

B.Japanese common toads were natural predators.

C.Common toads had the ability to resist the poison.

D.Bombardier beetles could release poison constantly.

3What do we know about Sugiura and Sato’s test?

A.It showed the process of the insects’ evolution.

B.It demonstrated the harm of explosion in the toads.

C.It stressed the importance of a balanced ecosystem.

D.It provided convincing evidence for their assumption.

【題目】 “Fighting like cats and dogs” is a common phrase that people use to mean people argue, fright or don’t get along. If you like cartoons, you’ve probably seen many that describe cats and dogs fighting like sworn enemies (不共戴天的仇敵). There have even been movies made that describe cats against dogs.

As with many questions in life, there’s simply no easy answer to the question of whether dogs and cats can get along. Dogs and cats are different in many ways that can make it difficult for them to get along. However, with patience and the right circumstances, cats and dogs can be best buds (兄弟).

For example, dogs tend to be social animals that are naturally playful. Cats, on the other hand, tend to be more independent. A dog that wants to play might seem aggressive and frightening to a cat. This may lead the cat to defend itself against an attack although that’s really just a desire to play. Similarly, dogs—especially puppies—like to chase each other. It’s a fun game. Chasing cats can be just as fun as chasing other dogs. Again, cats may interpret such playful behavior as a threat.

Even there’s something dogs and cats have in common, tails, but tails can make things confusing. When dog wags (搖擺) its tail, it’s sending a friendly message: “I’m happy. Let’s play.” Cats, however, wag their tails when they are angry. You can see how this might lead cats and dogs to become confused if they’re facing each other with wagging tails!

Although dogs and cats aren’t really sworn enemies dogs are hunters by nature. This means that they might hunt and chase anything that moves-including a cat. This natural behavior that could cause problems between dogs and cats can be controlled by special training called socialization when the animals meet for the first time.

1By saying “fighting like cats and dogs”, parents most probably mean that ________.

A.they like neither cats nor dogs

B.their kids don’t get on well with each other

C.cats and dogs fight like sworn enemies

D.the fights between cats and dogs are often made into movies

2What may happen when dogs are chasing cats?

A.Dogs become tired out.B.Cats are very happy.

C.Dogs feel enjoyable.D.Cats get injured easily.

3Which of the following may be one of the reasons that dogs and cats fight often?

A.They couldn’t understand each other.B.They are worried about their behaviors.

C.They enjoy exactly the same hobbies.D.They wag their tails too often.

4What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Dogs are good at hunting animals.

B.Dogs don’t like cats naturally.

C.Cats usually like playing with dogs.

D.Dogs and cats can possibly live in harmony.
