题目内容
【题目】If the government doesn’t take action immediately, the situation in this country will be________control sooner or later.
A.withinB.beyondC.inD.under
【答案】B
【解析】
句意：如果政府不立即采取行动，这个国家的局势迟早会失控的。
考查介词。within在……之内；beyond超过；in在……里面；under在……下方；根据句意及前句If the government doesn’t take action immediately理解可知，这里表达的是“失控”，英语是固定短语beyond one’s control，所以应该用介词beyond，故选B。

Communication is important for harmonious (和谐的) family relationships. However, if you don’t truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Following the listening skills below may be helpful to your communication.
Listening Actively
Focus on the speaker’s words and not what you’ll say next. When talking to someone, pay attention to the speaker and his thoughts. You can think of how you will reply later.
Make sure the speaker has finished talking before you talk. Instead of starting your reply at once, it’s not a bad thing to keep silent for seconds.
Communicating Effectively (有效的)
Repeat what has been said. Try to make a short summary (总结) of what you’ve heard when the speaker finishes. It will show you’re listening and make you and your family communicate better.
Reflect on what’s been said. After talking, reflect on the subject. Try to work out not just what’s being said, but also why it is important.
Avoiding Bad Habits
Do not cut in on others. It can break effective conversation. Do not start talking until the other person has finished.
Do not change the subject early. Never change the subject before the speaker has got their words out, even if you are not interested in the subject.
Never offer advice. Unless you are asked do not offer advice. Offering advice can make it seem like you’re not really listening but to hear what you want. Accept you don’t always have to solve someone’s problems.
