【题目】D

Most people I meet want to develop more harmonious and satisfying relationships. But we may not realize that this can only be achieved by partnering with two new and strange allies(盟友): uncertainty and confusion. Most of us aren’t trained to like confusion or to admit we feel hesitant and uncertain. In our schools and organizations, we place value on sounding certain and confident.

As life continues to speed up, I believe our changing world requires less certainty and far more curiosity. I’m not suggesting we let go of our beliefs, but that we become curious about what someone else believes. As we become open to the disturbing differences, sometimes we discover that another’s way of interpreting the world is actually essential to our survival.

For me, the first step in becoming curious is to admit that I’m not succeeding in figuring things out by myself. If my solutions don’t work as well as I’d like, I take these as signs that it’s time to begin asking others what they think. I try to become a conscious listener, actively listening for differences.

There are many ways to listen for differences. Lately, I’ve been listening for what surprises me. This isn’t easy — I’m accustomed to sitting there, nodding my head as someone voices his opinions. But when I notice what surprises me, I’m able to see my own views more clearly, including my assumptions.

If you’re willing to be disturbed and confused, I recommend you begin a conversation with someone who thinks differently from you. Listen for what’s different and what surprises you. Try to stop the voice of judgment or opinion and just listen. At the end, notice whether you’ve learned something new.

We have the opportunity many times a day to be the one who listens to others and the one who is curious rather than certain. When we listen with fewer judgments, we always develop better relationships with each other. It’s not differences that divide us. It’s our judgments that do. Curiosity and good listening bring us back together.

As I consider partnering with confusion and uncertainty, I’m learning that we don’t have to agree with each other in order to think well together. There is no need for us to be joined at the head. We are already joined by our hearts.

【1】According to the author, in order to cope with our changing world, we should ___________.

A. reconsider traditional beliefs before accepting them

B. learn to interpret other people’s behavior

C. become more curious about other people’s opinions

D. try to develop more harmonious relationships with others

【2】 What do the underlined sentences in the passage imply?

A. We should listen more and judge less.

B. We should make decisions based on sound judgments.

C. Differences among people separate them.

D. It is important to seek common ground and reserve differences.

【3】 Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude to uncertainty and confusion?

【题目】七选五

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

It is said that farmers or peasants, especially those in developing countries, are often criticized for cutting down forests. But a new study suggests that many farmers recognize the value of keeping trees.

Researchers using satellite images found at least ten percent trees cover on more than one billion hectares of farmland. 1 . Earlier estimates were much lower but incomplete. The authors of the new study say it may still underestimate the true extent worldwide.

The study found the most trees cover in South America. 2 . North Africa and West Asia have the least.

The study found that climate conditions alone could not explain the amount of trees cover in different areas. 3 . There are areas with few trees but also few people, and areas with many trees and many people. The findings suggest that things like land rights, markets or government policies can influence tree planting and protection.

Dennis Garrity heads the World Agroforestry Center. 4 . The problem, he says, is that policy makers and planners have been slow to recognize this and to support such efforts.

The satellite images may not show what the farmers are using the trees for, but trees provide nuts, fruit, wood and other products. 5 . Even under drought (干旱) conditions, trees can often provide food and a way to earn money until the next growing season.

Some trees act as natural fertilizers. They take nitrogen (氮气) out of the air and put it in the soil. Scientists at the Center say the use of fertilizer trees can reduce the need for chemical nitrogen by up to three-fourths. Trees also capture carbon dioxide, a gas linked to climate change.

A. Nor could the size of nearby populations, meaning people and trees can live together.

B. He says farmers are acting on their own to protect and plant trees.

C. Almost all of it is covered by trees.

D. They also help prevent soil loss and protect water supplies.

E. He devotes most of his time to making people realize its importance.

F. That is nearly half of the farmland in the world.

G. Next comes Africa south of the Sahara, followed by Southeast Asia.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must understand the language when we hear 1 spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it correctly with confidence and without hesitation. 2 (three), we must be able to read the language, and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct.

There is no easy way to success 3 language learning. 4 good memory is of great help, but it is not enough only 5 (memorize) rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long a list of words and 6 (they) meaning, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we __7__ (satisfy) with only a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. ＂Learn through use＂ is a good piece of 8 (advise) for those 9 are studying a new language. Practice is important. We must practice speaking and 10 (write) the language whenever we can.
