题目内容

【题目】When difficult people express themselves orally, they generally want at least two things: they’re been heard and they’re been understood. As a good communicator should be a good listener, five steps are advocated towards good listening.

The first step is cooperating .1In fact, it's through the way you look and should while he is talking.2You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making certainsounds of understanding.

When the person begins to repeat what's been said, it's signal of step two: turning back. It means that you repeat back some words he is using, sending a clear signal that you're listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important.

3At this point, you start to gather information about what is being communicated. Ask some open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure outwhat intention he is hoping to satisfy.

The fourth step is to summarize what you've heard. This allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult person are on the same page. When you do this, two things happen. First, if you've shown that you're making an effort to understand completely.4Having listened carefully, you've now arrived at the point of confirming with the person that he feelsthat his thoughts have been fully voiced. 5

When enough sincere listening, questioning, and remembering are brought together, understanding isusually achieved and a difficult person becomes less difficult and more cooperative.

A. You may help him to fully express his thoughts and feelings.

B. Why does this happen?

C. Ask if he feels understood.

D. This increases possibility of gaining cooperation from him.

E. Talk with him about what he thinks of his expression.

F. Having heard what he has to say, the next step is clarifying.

G. How does a difficult person know that you’re listening and understanding?

5C

【解析】本文主要告诉我们成为一个好的聆听者的五个步骤。

1根据空格后一句“it's through the way you look and should while he is talking.他说话时,通过你看他的方式。”而选项G“ How does a difficult person know that you’re listening and understanding?一个难以让人理解的人如何知道你在聆听在理解呢?”,正好与其是一问一答的关系,故选G.

2根据空格后一句“You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making certainsounds of understanding.你通过点头赞同,发出表示理解的某种声音来做到这一点”,而选项A“You may help him to fully express his thoughts and feelings.你可以帮助他充分表达他的思想和情感,”正是后一句的this所要指代的内容,故选A.

3此空格位于整段的句首,说明是这一段落的主旨句,根据这段的最后一句“Ask some open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure outwhat intention he is hoping to satisfy.问一些开放性的问题,这会使你弄清楚他希望表达的意图”可知,这段主要是告诉我们要弄明白他们意图要表达什么,故选F.

4根据空格前一句“First, if you've shown that you're making an effort to understand completely.首先,如果你已经表现出正努力去完全理解时”,可推测空格里填的是这一假设句的结果,而选项D“This increases possibility of gaining cooperation from him.这就增加了来自于他的合作”,正好在意思上与其相承接,故选D.

5根据空格前一句“Having listened carefully, you've now arrived at the point of confirming with the person that he feelsthat his thoughts have been fully voiced.在仔细聆听完毕之后,你就要开始让讲话的人确定:在他看来,他的思想已经充分表达出来了”,而选项C“Ask if he feels understood.问他是否认为他的话为你所理解了”真好与前一句相承接,故选C.

You can do these tests in any order you like, or you can do all the tests with a formal or informal text. I enjoyed writing this book and I hope you enjoy using it,

【题目】Yuoki, a restaurant in Germany, is not your everyday all-you-can-eat buffet (自助餐). For starters, there isn't an actual buffet to fill your plate. Instead, customers are seated at a table and provided with iPads which they can use to order up to five small dishes every ten minutes. They can eat as much as they want for 120 minutes, but having the food served at short intervals (间隔) allows diners to constantly assess how hungry they are and order accordingly, preventing food waste. Also, the owner, Luan Guoyu, believes, “our eyes are bigger than our stomach”, so not being able to see the cooked food at the buffet prevents people from ordering more food than they can actually eat.

But Luan Guoyu's most effective way of fighting food waste, and the one that has attracted media attention, is his 1 ($1.15) fine for food still left on the plate. “It’s called ‘ all-you-can-eat’ ” he says, adding that the extra charge is not meant to increase his income, but to act as a warning against wasting food.

Luan Guoyu's system is unique in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, but not in Germany. Okinii, a Japanese-style restaurant in Dusseldorf, has also been charging customer, the same 1 tax for unfinished food on their plates since 2013.

With so many people living on the edge of their nations, and food waste becoming a serious problem in developed countries, it will be interesting to see if more restaurants will start carrying out the “eat up or pay up” policy. Even if they give the money from this fine to charity, it would still help them to save money in dealing with waste, so it's a win for everyone.

1What does the underlined word “assess” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Doubt. B. Realize.

C. Judge. D. Compare.

2What will Luan Guoyu do when people can’t finish the food on their plates?

A. He will charge them extra money.

B. He will advise them to eat up the food.

C. He will ask them to take the food away.

D. He will warn them to order less food next time.

3What is the text mainly about?

A. Various German restaurants.

B. The seriousness of food waste.

C. Secrets of managing a restaurant.

D. Special ways to fight food waste.

4What does the author think of the “eat up or pay up” policy?

A. Unfair. B. Funny.

C. Reasonable. D. Doubtful.

【题目】Restaurants in Miami Beach

Steve’s Pizza

So many pizza chains compete for the attention of tourists in South Beach, but ask a Miami Beach local where to get the best pizza and they’ll tell you about Steve’s. This is New York style pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients(成分). New branches of Steve’s Pizza are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.

Opening hours: 11 a.m.-10a.m.

Cattleman’s Steakhouse

This place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where you’ll see everything from rabbits to buffalo (水牛), then catch the sunset either before or after your meal.

Opening hours: 5p.m.-10p.m.

Absolute Baking & Café

The screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts. Try the green chili on eggs – it’s made from scratch, as are the organic(有机的) breads. Lunch includes salads, big sandwiches and local grass-fed beef burgers. Don’t miss a square of soft, fresh carrot cake.

Opening hours: 7a.m.-2p.m.

Walt’s Wharf

Everybody’s favorite for fresh fish (some drive in from LA). Walt’s packs them in on weekends. You can’t make reservations for dinner (though they’re accepted for lunch), but it’s worth the wait for the tree fire–grilled seafood and steaks in the many-windowed ground floor or upstairs in captain’s chairs.

Opening hours: 11a.m.-10:30p.m.

1The new branches of Steve’s Pizza are mainly intended for ______.

A. New Yorkers B. tourists

【题目】As an effect of the high fuel prices spent on bus transportation, some American schools are changing to a four-day week. That means longer days instead of the traditional Monday through Friday schedule.

Having been approved for three years and beginning in the fall, students in the Maccray school district in Minnesota will be in school from Tuesday to Friday. Each school day will be 65 minutes longer. Officials say the district expects to save about sixty-five thousand dollars a year in transportation costs.

In new Mexico, the first school district changed to a four-day week in 1974 because of the Arab oil boycott(抵制). Now, 17 out of 89 districts use it.

In Custer, South Dakota, students have been going to school four days a week since 1995. Superintendent Tim Creal says the change has saved about one million dollars over just the past eight years. He sees other benefits, too. Students get more instructional time, and activities that used to take up class time are now held on non-school days. He says that in the future, the growth of online classes could make it possible to require even fewer days in school. High fuel prices are driving college students to take more online classes.

A four-day school week sounds like a great idea for students and teachers, but working parents may have to pay for child care for that fifth day.

1According to Tim Creal, what makes it possible to have even fewer days in school?

A. The increasing number of private tutors.(私人教师)

B. The development of teaching methods.

C. The increase in the number of online classes.

D. The growth in the income of Americans.

2It can be learned from the passage that______

A. students will be in school from Monday to Tuesday.

B. four-day week was first carried out in South Dakota.

C. Maccray will save one million dollars every year.

D. Minnesota state has approved the four-day week plan

3The passage is mainly about______

A. some school’s four-day week plan

B. districts using a four-day week.

C. how to save on transportation fees.

D. expense of school transportation.
