I strongly believe that it is rather important to be a good listener. And although I have become a better listener than I was ten years ago,1       Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences. It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond. In some ways,the way we fail to listen is symbolic of the way we live. 2       It's almost like our goal is to have no time gaps between the conclusion of the sentences of the person we are speaking with and the beginning of our own. My wife and I were recently at a cafe having lunch,eavesdropping (偷听) on the conversations around us. 3       Instead they were taking turns not listening to one another. I asked my wife if I still did the same thing. With a smile on her face she said, "Only sometimes."Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more peaceful person.

4       If you think about it,you'll notice that it takes an enormous amount of energy and is very stressful to be sitting at the edge of your seat trying to guess what the person in front of you(or on the telephone) is going to say so that you can fire back your response. But as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish,as you simply listen more singlemindedly to what is being said,you'll notice that the pressure you feel is off. You'll immediately feel more relaxed,and so will the people you are talking to. 5       Not only will becoming a better listener make you a more patient person,it will also enhance the quality of your relationships. Everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.

   A. Communication begins with good listening skills.

   B. It takes pressure from you.

   C. We often treat communication as if it were a race.

   D. It seemed that no one was really listening to one another.

   E. I have to admit I'm still only an adequate listener.

   F. They will feel safe in slowing down their own responses because they won't feel in competition with you for "air time"!

   G. Everyone has different ways of listening and expressing themselves.

1.                  2.                  3.         4.          5.       

本文论述了成为一个好的倾听者的重要性,并介绍如何成为一名好的倾听者。

1. E考查转折关系。由上文"although I have become a better listener than I was ten years ago" 得知"我"做得还不够,所以选E。

2. C考查对比关系。由下文"our goal is to have no time gaps between the conclusion"可判断出选C。

3. D考查转折关系。下文"instead"是个转折,每个人都只是轮流说、轮流听,而并非认真倾听对方真正表达的意思,所以选D.

4. B从下文看猜测对方要说什么然后急于做出回应是stressful的,所以做名好的倾听者而不是急于作答才能免于感到压力,选8.

5. F从前两句话得知只是倾听能让谈话双方都感到放松,可知此处选F。

I found out one time that doing a favor 1        someone could get you into lots of trouble. When I was having a test in my eighth grade,the girl sitting next to me whispered something,but I didn't understand.     2          I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me 3        I had an extra pen. She showed me that 4         (she) was out of ink. I took an extra one and put it on her desk.

Later,after the test papers had been turned in,the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students 5       (dismiss) . She began to talk to me about how important it was to be responsible for your own acts. She talked about honesty and6       (emphasize) the fact that when people do something 7       (honest) ,they are really cheating themselves. I was completely at a loss,wondering 8          she talked to me about all those things.

Later on,I found out she thought I 9       (cheat) on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl,it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl's test paper. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by10       (lend) her my pen,all she could say was that it seemed very strange to her that I hadn't talked of it before. I am sure she didn't believe in me.

What would you do if you come across a car accident? A few years ago,an American football player was seen as a hero for pulling some injured people out of a damaged car.

1       and,as a result,they were accused of not caring. But in fact,even the hero's actions might have been wrong.

Sometimes,2       . Once a deaf mute was thrown from his car in an accident. People carried him from the road even though he shook his head,trying to tell them not to move him. Their actions might have caused spinal injuries,possibly leaving the man in a wheelchair.

It is very important to ask the victims if they want to be moved before doing so. Even if the person says "yes", 3       . If an injury is very serious,then emergency first aid,such as using a mouth-to-mouth method,is usually necessary. But if there is no immediate danger,or even if the victim is unconscious but still breathing normally,there is little to be gained by moving him. It's best to wait for professional help to arrive. 4      

* Covers the victims with a coat or blanket to keep them warm and to prevent shock.

* Shades the victims from the sun or make a shelter to protect them from rainfall.

*       5

* Use a clean cloth to stop the flow of blood from a serious wound.

   A. you still need to be cautious

   B. Others stood by doing nothing

   C. Every second counts when helping others.

   D. However,there are several "safe" things that can be done:

   E. Life is more important than the things that belong to the injured

   F. Talk to them,and tell them help is on the way. Always be encouraging.

   G. rescuing a car accident victim can bring even more trouble

It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels. This is exciting.

People choose to learn things that are useful,and do things that are profitable. Today's college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism (功利主义) .Many college students choose business or computing programming as their majors,1       .

It is not unusual to see the college students taking a parttime job as a warmingup for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests,working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving lessons to get a license. Well,I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense,2       .

However,we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine,if students' utilitarianism prevails on campus,living no space for the cultivation of their minds,or nurturing of their soul,3       . If utilitarianism prevails in society,we will see people bound by mindforged manacles (手铐) lost in the moneymaking ventures;we will see humility losing their grace and dignity,and that would be disastrous.

I'd like to think society as a carriage and people pursue for profit or fame as a horse that pulls the carriage. Yet without the driver picking direction,4       . A certificate may give you some advantage,but broad horizons,positive attitudes and personal integrities are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way.

In today's world,the highest level of competition is not of skills or expertise,but vision and strategy. 5      

   A. convinced that these professions are where the big money is

   B. the students will go in the opposite way and be trapped in dilemma

   C. We will find university is a place where competition is much more fierce.

   D. we will see university is training out welltrained spiritless working machines

   E. Your intellectual quality as well as personality traits largely determines how far you can go in your career

   F. the carriage would go straight and may even end up in a dangerous situation

   G. students do have reasons to be practical 1,        2.         3.       4.          5.
