【題目】How to be a Good Listener

Being a good listener can help you see the world through the eyes of others. 【1】 Good listening skills can provide you with a deeper level of understanding about someone’s situation. If you want to know how to be a good listener, read on to get started.

1. Place yourself in other people’s shoes It’s easy to only consider the impact of the other person’s “telling” on you. But you must open out and look at the problems from the other person’s view. 【2】

2. Avoid comparing the person’s experiences to your own. You may think that the best thing you can do to really listen is to compare the person’s experiences to your own. But this type of thinking actually makes the person feel like you’re not really listening at all. 【3】 That means that you’re focusing more on yourself than on the person’s situation.

3. 【4】 Some people think that, when they’re listening, they should find a quick and easy solution to the person’s problem. According to the research, it is totally wrong to do so. Instead focus on absorbing everything the person is saying to you. Only after that can you really try to help.

4. Know what not to do. Knowing what to avoid when you’re trying to be a good listener can be almost as helpful as knowing what to do. If you want the speaker to take you seriously you’d better not interrupt in the middle of a point. 【5】 Make eye contact with the person so that he or she realizes that you are listening with interest.

A.Don’t try to help immediately.

B.Avoid saying “I” or “me” a lot.

C.Try to solve the person’s problem quickly.

D.Don’t try to change the subject even if it’s a little uncomfortable.

E.If so, you would see your way through the problems much faster.

F.Therefore you’d better listen to what the person is saying carefully.

G.It enriches your understanding and expands your capacity for empathy (同情).

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。本文就如何成為一位好的聆聽(tīng)者向讀者提供了四條建議：1. 設(shè)身處地為別人著想；2. 避免將對(duì)方的經(jīng)歷與自己的相比較；3. 專注聽(tīng)別人的傾訴，不要急于想對(duì)策；4. 知道不該做什么。

【1】由上文Being a good listener can help you see the world through the eyes of others.(做一個(gè)好的傾聽(tīng)者可以幫助你透過(guò)別人的眼睛看世界)可知，此處承接上文，G選項(xiàng)“它增強(qiáng)了你的理解力及移情能力”符合題意。該選項(xiàng)中的it對(duì)應(yīng)上文中的being a good listener。故選G。

【2】由上文But you must open out and look at the problems from the other person’s view.(但是你必須敞開(kāi)心扉，從別人的角度看問(wèn)題)可知，E選項(xiàng)“如果是這樣，你會(huì)更快地找到解決問(wèn)題的方法”與上文談到的換位思考相承接。故選E項(xiàng)。

【3】本段主要講的是避免把他人和自己的經(jīng)歷作比較，本空是細(xì)節(jié)句，空后That means that you’re focusing more on yourself than on the person’s situation.(這意味著你更關(guān)注自己而不是別人的處境)中的That是對(duì)空處內(nèi)容的指代，由此可推斷出，為了與下文中的that呼應(yīng)，所填空應(yīng)為“避免經(jīng)常說(shuō)‘我’�！惫蔬xB項(xiàng)。

【4】本空是本段的主題句，由本段中Some people think that, when they’re listening, they should find a quick and easy solution to the person’s problem. According to the research, it is totally wrong to do so.(有些人認(rèn)為，當(dāng)他們?cè)诼?tīng)的時(shí)候，他們應(yīng)該找到一個(gè)快速簡(jiǎn)單的方法來(lái)解決這個(gè)人的問(wèn)題。根據(jù)研究，這樣做是完全錯(cuò)誤的)可知，本段主要敘述“不要急于想對(duì)策”。A選項(xiàng)“不要急于提供幫助”符合題意，故選A項(xiàng)。

【5】由空前If you want the speaker to take you seriously you’d better not interrupt in the middle of a point.(如果你想讓說(shuō)話者認(rèn)真對(duì)待你，你最好不要中途打斷)可知，D選項(xiàng)“不要試圖改變主題，即使它讓人有點(diǎn)不舒服”意義一致，符合邏輯。故選D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it，第2小題中的If so，第3小題中的Avoid saying “I”均與上下文或選項(xiàng)中有相呼應(yīng)的詞語(yǔ)。

【題目】 Some psychologists say that community art — art made to be displayed free of charge in a particular community — can make a big difference.

Unlike the random graffiti （涂鴉）that many people consider an eyesore, community art can bring people together and encourage respect. In the U.S. city of Philadelphia, for example, psychologists are doing a citywide project where mental health patients work with average people to paint murals（壁畫）. The aim of this project is to reduce the mental illness and promote a new dialogue about people who struggle with these issues.

Art also makes neighborhoods more attractive and has a unique ability to open people up. Neighbors can share comments with one another about a recently painted mural, which can challenge their prejudices and open their eyes to the world.

Businesses can also be promoted by community art. In Fort Smith, a town in the U.S. state of Arkansas, artists from around the globe came together to paint murals. One of the goals of the project was to expand the town's cultural offerings in order to attract more visitors. Not only locals but also tourists were drawn to see the murals. The money they spent while visiting the town benefited local businesses.

Generous financial support is provided for community art projects in many cities and towns. In the UK, the Arts Council England has invested nearly half a million dollars in community art. Some of it, for example, has paid for a new exhibition space created inside an old mill in the town of Brierfield. In the U.S., an organization called the Knight Foundation has invested millions of dollars in community projects, including many that focus on art.

【1】What is the purpose of the community art project in Philadelphia?

A.To replace random graffiti.

B.To deal with the issues about mental illnesses.

C.To promote dialogues about art issues.

【2】How does community art open people up?

A.By changing people' s views on prejudices.

B.By giving new life to traditional murals.

C.By providing a subject for conversation.

D.By making neighborhoods more attractive.

【3】What does the text indicate about towns like Fort Smith?

A.They can profit from art economically.

B.They provide inexpensive courses in art.

C.They've placed some restrictions on art.

D.They borrow art from other communities.

【4】What do we know about the community art in the UK?

【題目】 Food companies engineer junk food to make it addictive. They label their products to make them seem much healthier than they are. Their advertisements target children. All of this is according to a news report read recently by students in a Texas middle school. They were taking part in an experiment run by the University of Chicago and the University of Texas. “I don't understand how this is even legal, ” said a girl who took part in the study.

Researchers had students learn about food-industry advertising strategies. They wanted to know if learning about them would change how kids feel about junk food. All over the world, kids are eating more foods that are high in salt, sugar, and fat. That is partly the result of clever ads that make junk food irresistible. Christopher J. Bryan led the study. He says that when kids question the motives behind junk food ads, they feel like they're fighting injustice. The reward is knowing they are doing the right thing.

Junk food has been linked to health problems such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes，But in 2018，food companies spent nearly $9 billion TV ads selling unhealthy fare. Companies use varying strategies. An ad with cartoon characters may make chips seen fun to eat. A professional athlete enjoying a sugary drink may make it look cool. Advertisers know that if kids want a product, they'll annoy their parents to buy it. Even parents don't notice the power of ads. By the time they are adults they have been used to junk-food advertising. They just don't see it.

In the Texas study, Bryan had students view ads on iPad. Their job was to write or draw on the screen, to make each ad's message true. For example, a McDonald's ad showed a Big Mac (巨無(wú)霸) and the words “The thing you want when you order salad. ” To the end of the sentence, a student added “should be salad”.

Three months after analyzing ads, students were still choosing healthier snacks: milk instead of sugary juices, fruit over cookies. Kids are becoming conscious of themselves as agents in the world. They see a chance to make the world a better place.

【1】What is the purpose of the experiment?

A.To survey what snacks children like best.B.To guide children against unhealthy food.

C.To find ways to make junk food healthy.D.To teach children how to pick out legal food.

【2】How do children feel about junk food advertisements after the experiment?

A.Cool.B.Legal.

C.Funny.D.Misleading.

【3】Why are parents unaware of the harm of junk food advertisements?

A.Parents have never seen such junk food advertisements.

B.Advertisements have blinded them since they were young.

C.The food industry has special advertising strategies for parents.

D.Parents have to agree with their children about the junk food.

【4】How did students conduct the experiment?

A.By correcting unreal advertisements.B.By offering suggestions to food industry.

C.By making up their own advertisements.D.By studying food industry advertising strategies.

【題目】 Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or e-DNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.

Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.

Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists in the northwestern United States to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it. She sees e-DNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on diving deep, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.

This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the e-DNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden tree-frogs. And in Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian (兩棲動(dòng)物) diseases.

Ms. Goldberg has used e-DNA testing to confirm the local extinction of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.

Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.

【1】By using e-DNA, Caren Goldberg has ________.

A.succeeded in catching many fishes.

B.found the existence of golden treefrogs.

C.documented the spread of softshell turtles.

D.proved the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho.

【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Robots will replace scientists soon.

B.Some scientists are against using e-DNA.

C.The old-fashioned field work may disappear.

D.Many biologists are unwilling to do the field work.

【3】The passage can be sorted as a(n) ________.

A.science fictionB.experiment report

C.science reportD.bio-diversity discovery
