Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another person, we should face it. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate successfully? Yes, there is. Please follow the basic steps below.

Relax and breathe.

Whether it’s a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax.

When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions(反应) and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more relaxed. This will help you apply what you have already known about how to communicate well.

Think and you will be prepared.

Have you heard the old saying “Think before you speak.”? W ell, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow(流畅), you will be better prepared, more relaxed and more confident.

Follow the flow of the conversation.

If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, you should follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.

A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will keep the conversation going, thinking very highly of you. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. If you make an effort, you will succeed.

Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Le t’s have a look.

People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes

control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.

Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt.

I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really take my hat off to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I instantly spend it.

Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people.

My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly. But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve. 1．What is this passage mainly about?

钱立刻花掉，即不节约，故选A。

Theaters of the Past

The Greek Theater

Theaters developed in many parts of Greece. Ancient Greek theaters were built in natural open air sites on conveniently shaped hills. This allowed a great mass of people to enjoy a show at a time. Due to this, actors placed emphasis on exaggerated (夸张的) action and speech. And, colorful symbolic masks and costumes were used.

The Medieval Theater

The Medieval theater started in churches. That’s why medieval plays were about Bible stories. At first, it became a custom for priests (牧师) to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter. These acts attracted large crowds. Finally the church refused to allow priests to participate in any such events again, so ordinary people began these performances outside. Performances were set in the town square, with several stage settings around it.

The Elizabethan Theater

The England’s theater d eveloped rapidly in the years following the defeat of the Spanish Navy. The dominant feature of Elizabethan theater was the stage, It has three parts: The fore stage for outside scenes ;the inner stage for scenes inside a building; an upper stage or balcony for various purposes. The reason for this design is that there were no scene changes, or breaks during the play. Very little scenery was used, so the actors had to create a scene through their voices and dialogues. This led to a more poetic script , and poets became the main source of script writing. The Restoration Theater

Some of the plays told sad stories, but the majority of the plays were really funny. Many specialized machines were used to create the scene. The stage was a very clever idea , in that on the sides of the stage large back shutters (百叶窗) were painted with the scene.

1．Why were ancient Greek theaters built on hills?

A．To hold a large audience.

B．To build a big and strong stage.

C．To have a better sound effect.

D．To emphasize exaggerated performances.

2．In which theater could actors’ voices and speech help create scenes?

A．The Greek Theater.

B．The Medieval Theater,

C．The Elizabethan Theater,

D．The Restoration Theater.

3．What is special about the Restoration Theater?

A．Colorful masks were used.

B．The stage was smartly designed.

C．Most of its plays were sorrowful.

D．Ordinary people were the performers.

【答案】

1．A

2．C

3．B

Back in 2001，Pen Had ow and I traveled to the North Pole.One morning we’d just taken down our tent and started skiing. Pen was in front，and I was following him.Suddenly I got a strange feeling that something was behind us. I stopped，looked back and saw a polar bear, walking towards us.

Pen and I planned to stay where we were, try and look big, and frighten it away. Pen had a shotgun that we’d bought in Russia.That was his job. My job was to look big and to take off my skis, hold the skis in the air, make lots of noise，and frighten away the bear. Pen raised the gun and fired into the air. However, it jammed and failed to work.

The bear was walking towards us. Pen tried again, but again it didn’t work.Then he walked towards the bear, and I thought，“Wow，Pen’s gone completely mad. He’s going to get eaten.What should I do?”

I thought maybe I could throw a ski at it or stab(刺) it with a ski pole or something.Suddenly, the bear stopped. Pen stopped. Bang! The gun went off in the air. There was a big cloud of smoke that I thought surprised Pen and me more than it surprised the bear.The animal looked up, looked down, turned around and walked off. Pen turned round and said, “Quick，get the camera and take a photograph,” and that was when suddenly I felt really nervous. I couldn’t even undo t he zip on our bag.

That was the morning of the second day of this journey. We were out there for two months—fifty-nine days, but we never saw another bear that close.

The World Wildlife Fund for Nature - WWF - reports that nearly 3 billion animals were killed or displaced by Australia’s wildfires in 2019 and 2020. The number, reported in late July, was about three times higher than an earlier WWF estimate. “It ranks as one of the worst wildlife disasters in modern history,” said WWF - Australia Chief Executive officer Dermot O’ Gorman.

The WWF said it used different methods to estimate wildlife populations, including information from over 100, 000 studies. The scientists created models to estimate the number of creatures found in areas destroyed by fire. Project leader Lily Van Eeden from the University of Sydney said the research was the first continent - wide examination of animals affected by wildfires. “Other nations can build upon this research to improve understanding of bushfir e impacts everywhere,” she said.

Those creatures that fled destroyed habitats faced a lack of food and shelter or the likelihood of moving into already occupied habitats. Researchers said the destruction will cause some species to become extinct before th eir existence is even recorded. “We don’t even know what we are losing,” said Chris Dickman, a professor of ecology at the University of Sydney. “These were species that were here and now they have gone. . . It’s almost too tragic to think about,” Dickman added.

The WWF report calls for improvements in habitat connectivity to help species escape from fires. It also calls for identifying and protecting habitat that was not burned to help save threatened species. An expanded report on the study is expected later this year.

The wildfires started in September 2019 and continued through March of this year. Scientists say the fires were fueled by higher than normal temperatures and years of drought in the Australian bush. The fires caused 34 human deaths and destroyed nearly 3, 000 homes. The WWF said that over the past year, it had raised money from donors to allocate emergency aid to the front lines of the fires to help injured and displaced wildlife.

1．What do we know about Australia’s wildfires in 2019 and 2020?

A．They were the worst disasters in history.

B．Over 3 billion animals died in the wildfires.

C．They caused more damage than calculated earlier.

D．Most animals moved to already occupied habitats.

2．How did Chris Dickman feel about the extinction of some species?

A．Astonished. B．Pained. C．Annoyed. D．Puzzled.

3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The wildfires last a whole year.

B．The wildfires were caused by the heat.

C．The wildfires also cause damages to humans.

D．The wildfires were soon under control with donations.

4．What lesson can we learn from the text?

A．Humans shouldn’t occupy wildlife habitat.

B．Humans shouldn’t overestimate the bushfire.

C．We should raise money for wildlife protection.

D．We should develop the methods to prevent wildfires.

Sport is not only physically challenging, but can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has

indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.

The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.

Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngsters’ performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.

1．An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is_____________.

A．to make sport less competitive

B．to increase their sense of success

C．to reduce their mental stress

D．to make sport more challenging

2．According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that_____________.

A．it can help them learn more about society

B．it enables them to find faults in themselves

C．it can provide them with valuable experiences

D．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

3．Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes_____________. A．believing that criticism does good to their early development

B．without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidence

C．in order to make them remember life’s lessons

D．so as to put more pressure on them

4．According to the passage parents and coaches should_____________.

A．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sport

B．help children to win every game

C．train children to cope with stress

D．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sport

【答案】

1．C

本文为一篇议论文。体育运动既是对人的体力的挑战，也是对人的心理的挑战。在体育运动中，父母和教练应对孩子多鼓励，少批评，让孩子用积极的心态去迎接挑战。

1．推理判断题。由第一段中的Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout.压力可以是身体上的，情感上的，也可以是心理上的，研究表明它会导致精疲力竭。可知，减少青少年运动员的心理压力是防止其身心疲劳的有效途径。故C项正确。

2．细节理解题。由第二段中的The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place.体育活动能为年轻人提供极其有价值的一生都有用的人生经历。可知选C。

3．细节理解题。由最后一段中的Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outc ome and find faults with youngsters’ performances. 以及Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.可得出结论，父母和教练只顾结果而对青少年吹毛求疵，这无疑增加了他们的压力，破坏了他们的自信心，故B项正确。

4．推理判断题。由最后一段可总结出父母和教练应该变批评为鼓励，以减轻孩子们的心理压力，使他们拥有积极的动机，从而更喜欢体育运动。所以A项正确。

On my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor，next to the pool.” I found out five minutes later that we don't even have a fourth floor and there's no pool either! Besides that，I didn't have any trouble with the older kid.

I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours，so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550，but joining in clubs，sports，music，and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.

The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself，not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I've prepared for the night before，gotten an A，and not remembered anything later. I've changed that this year，and I enjoy school so much more. Don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports，the first will prove to be a lot more useful!

While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools，they're also around in high school. I have a lot of friends who promised they'd never drink or smoke，but are now partying every weekend. If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying，you will regret it when you're applying for (申请) college. The “friends” who say you're a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It's hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions，but don't follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.

1．What does the author think of high school?

A．There are very few activities.

B．It's hard to meet new people there.

C．It requires hard work.

D．There isn't enough time for homework.

2．The author advises high school students to________．

A．get ready for tests the night before

B．give up sports

C．choose useful classes

D．try their best to get good grades

3．The text is probably written by________．

A．a high school student B．a chemistry teacher

C．a college student D．a sports player

4．The last paragraph mainly tells us________．

A．about the trouble caused by drinking and smoking

B．not to go to any party in high school

C．not to lose ourselves in high school

D．about the importance of making friends

【答案】

1．C

2．C

3．A

4．A

【分析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一些对高中生的建议。

1．细节理解题。根据“I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school.”可知高中的功课量很大，所以他要求我们更加努力。故选C。

2．细节理解题。根据文意“Don't take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful”可知建议高中生要选择有用的课程,故选C。

3．推理判断题。根据首句“On my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor，next to the pool.””他问别人自己的教室在哪里可以判断作者是一名高中生。故选A。

4．主旨大意题。文章最后一段句首“While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools”和“If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when you’re applying for (申请) college.”可知，如果你享乐并且浪费夜晚时间而不是学习，当你申请大学的时候，你会后悔的。所以本段主要讲述了吸烟喝酒所带来的麻烦。

【点睛】

推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即对原文某句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer, suggest, imply, conclude. indicate等标志性词语。这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。比如，第3小题推理判断题。根据首句“On my first day of high school，I asked an eleventh grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor，next to the pool.””他问别人自己的教室在哪里可以判断作者是一名高中生。故选A。

A very dangerous situation happened in California last week. More than 12 wildfires broke out in the state. Most of them began on October 8, in Northern California. They grew rapidly. The fires were made bigger by winds of up to 50 miles per hour and dry air in the area.

At least 20 people have been killed, the state government said. About 200 have been injured. At least 3,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed. About 50,000 people have been required to escape.

It was destroyed soon after he left.

The fires burned through parts of eight counties(郡，县). These include Sonoma and Napa. The areas are important to California’s economy(经济). They are home to many of the state’s vineyards(葡萄园) and wineries(酿酒厂). In 2016, California’s wineries made more than $57 billion.

October is when wildfires usually produce the most ruins in California. But it is unusual for so many fires to start at once. Up to now, the government has not given a cause for any of the fires, many of which were still burning.

1．Why did the fires grow quickly?

A．Most of the fires began in October. B．12 fires happened at the same time. C．The state government didn’t do anything.D．High-speed wind and dry air.

2．How many people have to leave their homes?

3．What is the biggest loss for California’ s economy?

A．Homes have been destroyed. B．Wineries have been burned.

C．People have to leave their homes. D．Many people have been injured.

4．What is the cause of the fires?

A．The high-speed wind and dry air. B．Many fires started at once.

C．October produces the most ruins. D．The cause is not explained.

I traveled to London, England in the spring of 2016. Actually, I traveled with CAPA International Education on a study program. At that time, I did a full three-month program but I traveled on weekends and during breaks.

I used to live in a small town outside New York. The idea of big cities has always excited me and I wanted to take advantage of that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was a great opportunity for me to see how independent I could be in another country, because I hope to travel a lot more in the future.

I lived in a flat in Ealing Broadway with several other students from different American schools. The biggest surprise I found there was the culture shock I experienced. I had expected traveling to London to be an easy transition (转变) for me because I thought their culture was close to that of America. But you know the language and the people were greatly different from what I had expected. They had different accents. In fact, they were noisy and more free-thinking than most Americans I knew.

However, I tried to take part in their giant Chinese New Year celebration in Trafalgar Square. I went to several Jewish society holiday celebrations and actively participated in any cultural activities I knew at that time. It was great to be able to truly put myself in their culture. These are experiences I couldn't get anywhere else.

I would suggest people hoping to follow in my footsteps not let anything hold them back from exploring the foreign cultures presented to them. Yes, you are there for school, but your number one priority (优先) is yourself. So make sure you go home with no regrets. Do not miss anything! 1．What was the author's main purpose in going to London?

A．To go sightseeing.

B．To visit some relatives.

C．To join in a study program.

D．To experience the life in a big city.

2．What did the author think of the opportunity of traveling to London?

A．It would change his life.

B．It would test his independence.

C．It would make his dream come true.

D．It would help improve his communication ability.

3．What was beyond the author's expectation after arriving in London?

A．Culture differences. B．Unfriendly students.

C．His living conditions. D．Some strange accents.

4．In the last paragraph, the author mainly advises people studying abroad to ________. A．explore more interesting places for traveling

B．try to receive more international education

C．combine study with exploring foreign cultures

D．look for more ways to deal with the culture shock

【答案】

The Boy Made It!

One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute. Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed out. The f irst thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.

Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how mu ch longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept.

The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.

Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show. Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out. When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive. 1．What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?

A．He got lost.

B．He broke his skis.

C．He hurt his eyes

D．He caught a cold

2．How did Nicholas keep himself warm?

On Monday, I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliet’s middle school. She jumped in the front seat, feeling down. She asked me to help her study for her science test.

“Dad, I need to memorise a unit about the Reproductive Cycle o f Plants. And I can hardly make it.”

“You know memorising seems like the best way to study, but in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”

Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night, you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight, read the unit. Prepare to teach.”

Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you don’t do the teaching, the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorise the material. On Tuesday afternoon, Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said, “Okay Dad, let’s study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldn’t be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didn’t know the answers, I enc ouraged her to check the book.

She started checking things that didn’t make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasn’t memorising; she was trying to make sense of things, which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.

1．Why did Juliet feel down?

A．Because she failed her science test.

B．Because she had trouble memorising a unit.

C．Because she knew nothing about planting.

D．Because she couldn’t follow her teacher.

2．In the writer’s opinion, which was the key to best learni ng?

A．Memorising. B．Testing.

C．Questioning. D．Understanding.

3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．Making her check the book.

B．Using simple questions to test her.

C．Encouraging her to read the unit.

D．Asking her to teach me the unit.

4．Which can be the best title for the passage?

A．A Creative Father

B．An Unexpected Test

C．Learning from Teaching

D．Preparing for Teaching
