How to Give Feedback(反馈) That People Will Listen to
If we want to grow as people, we can’t just rely on our own evaluation of how we’re doing.1.Receiving feedback from others can help us see the bigger picture and show us a path forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you approach this
2.If you wait until the matter fades from the person’s mind, they might no understand what you’re trying to tell them. Feedback should be clear and well timed, or it’s likely to be ignored.
When you’re giving feedback, it’s important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they’re doing a bad job. Make sure you give an equal amount to positive feedback to balance out anything negative.3.
All good feedback shares a few key elements. First, it should help accomplish a specific goal. It’s less useful to tell your friend that their dish tastes “interesting”' than it is to suggest adding a little salt to improve the flavor.
Feedback should also look toward the future.4.Tell your friend they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big biology exam they failed.
Finally, don’t assume your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. Consider other points of view and keep your ego(自我)under control. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback.5.
A.Use actual facts to support the point you are making.
B.We also need to know what other people think about our performance.
C.Like the saying goes, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”
D.Don’t take it personally -- it can only help you give better advice next time.
E.The point of giving feedback is to motivate the other person to perform better.
F.You can’t change what’s already happened, but you can prevent it from happening again.
G.If you spot a situation in which sonic feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can

本文是议论文。文章先说明反馈的重要性,接下来对于反馈所注意的问题进行说明,同时教会人们如何使反馈行之有效。
1.上文“If we want to grow as people, we can’t just rely on our own evaluation of how we’re doing.”(如果我们想要成长,我们不能只依赖于自己对自己做得如何的评价,)也就是说,我们也要注意别人的评价。下文“Receiving feedback from others can help us see the bigger picture and show us a path forward to success.” (接受他人的反馈可以帮助我们看得更清楚,为我们指明通往成功的道路。)所以可知,空格处应该是指接受别人的评价。B项“We also need to know what other people think about our performance.”我们还需要知道其他人对我们表现的看法。承上启下,故选B。
2.上文“However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you approach this ” (然而,总得有人给出反馈,有时候,这个人就是你。你应该怎么做呢 )可以推知,空处应该是讲如果反馈的人是你,你的正确做法。下文“If you wait until the matter fades from the person’s mind, they might no understand what you’re trying to tell them.” (如果你等到这件事从人们的脑海中消失,他们可能不明白你想告诉他们什么。)可以推知,空格处应是建议人们及时的对别人进行反馈,而G项“If you spot a situation in which sonic feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can.” (如果你发现声反馈很有帮助,请尽快反馈。)故选G。
3.上文“When you’re giving feedback, it’s important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they’re doing a bad job. Make sure you give an equal amount to positive feedback to balance out anything negative.” (当你给予反馈时,你要记住,没有人喜欢别人说他们做得不好。确保你给予的积极反馈与消极反馈持平。)说明我们在进行消极反馈时,也要给予一定的积极反馈。而C项Like the saying goes, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”(俗话说得好,一勺糖能把药吞下去。)也就是说,给予消极反馈时,再给一定的积极反馈会使人更好地接受。与上文意思保持一致,故选C。
4.上文“Feedback should also look toward the future.” (反馈也应该面向未来。说明反馈也要能解决未来发生的事。)下文“Tell your friend they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big biology exam they failed.” (告诉你的朋友,他们应该在课堂上多记笔记,而不是谈论他们应该如何努力学习,以应付生物课考试的失败。)说明不能仅仅只注意到眼前的事情,要有长远解决事情的能力。而F项“You can’t change what’s already happened, but you can prevent it from happening again.” (你无法改变已经发生的事情,但你可以阻止它再次发生。)表达不要只看如今改变不了的事情,要着眼于未来。与上下文保持一致。故选F。
5.上文“Finally, don’t assume your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. Consider other points of view and keep your ego under control. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback.” (最后,不要认为你的建议是解决问题的唯一正确方法。考虑其他的观点,保持你的自我控制。你甚至可能得到一些关于你的反馈的反馈。)可以推知,下文应该是表达对于反馈的反馈的态度。D项“Don’t take it personally -- it can only help you give better advice next time.” (别往心里去,这只会帮助你下次给出更好的建议。)意思是说,不要对于反馈的反馈太在意,要正视反馈的反馈的作用。承接上文内容,故选D。

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥林匹克运动的起源以及发展壮大的过程。
1.were held 考查动词时态和语态。本句的主语与hold之间是被动关系,又由于这是描述古代奥运会,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
2.first 考查数词。前面有定冠词the,所以填序数词,表示“第一届奥运会”。
3.made 考查非谓语动词。make与A wreath之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
4.on 考查介词。根据句意可知,此处表示“戴在头上”,所以用介词on。
5.which 考查定语从句。先行词是the Olympics,从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词which。
6.swimming 考查非谓语动词。swimming pools意为“游泳池”,说明所修饰名词的用途,应该用动词-ing形式。
7.athletes’ 考查名词所有格。根据句意“但参赛国自己支付运动员们的费用”可知,此处要用athlete的复数形式的所有格,表示“运动员们的”。
8.have won 考查动词时态。根据时间状语Since 1984可知,此处要用现在完成时,故填have won。
9.fields 考查名词复数。根据前面的修饰词different可知,此处要用复数形式,表示“不同的场地”。
10.a 考查冠词。a great honour 在此处意为“一件非常荣耀的事情”。

Sahara Marathon 2021-Around the World
The Sahara Marathon is organized by the Saharawi Ministry of Youth and Sports and a group of volunteers from different countries.During the last twenty years,thousands of runners from all continents have traveled to the Algerian desert to live the experience provided by this race and to bond with refugee(难民)families.In this unique edition of 2021,the experience will be different.

Beach volleyball is one of those sports that can be an exciting game to play and watch.It’s really easy,and all you need is sand,a net and a group of people,of any age or fitness level,who want to have fun.
Beach volleyball can be played with as few as two people in each team,making a total of four people.However,if you are less skilled and experienced in the game,it will be easier to play with a larger team.The more players you have,the less ground each person will be responsible for covering and the more time they will have to recover between shots.If you only have a few players,each of you will get a lot of running for the ball after each volley(截球).If you are looking for a relaxing,fun,low-key experience,choose larger teams.
Beach volleyball is similar to regular volleyball in its rules.However,even experienced volleyball players do not realise how much more difficult it is to run and jump on sand.Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface,play will be much slower than regular volleyball on a court.When an athlete trains for beach volleyball,he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength.Strengthening his legs is extremely important.This improves the player’s ability to move quickly and accurately on sand despite the resistance.The ability to jump high and land without injury is necessary for beach volleyball players.
Whether you are in it for the competition,or just to have a great time with your friends,beach volleyball can be very exciting and fun.You may start out with friends and may soon fall in love with the sport.
4.When playing beach volleyball,in which situation will you feel most relaxed
A.Playing in a 2-person team.
B.Playing in a 4-person team.
C.Playing in a 6-person team.
D.Playing in an 11-person team.
5.What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A.Experienced volleyball players know clearly it is hard to run and jump on sand.
B.Lower body strength is more important than upper body strength.
C.A person must have strong legs if he wants to run and jump quickly on sand.
D.The rules of beach volleyball are the same as those of regular volleyball.
6.Why is playing beach volleyball much slower than playing regular volleyball
A.Because it is not easy to move on sand.
B.Because beach volleyball has a larger court.
C.Because the teams of beach volleyball are larger.
D.Because beach volleyball players are not experienced.
7.What does the author think of beach volleyball
A.It’s a difficult sport.
B.It’s an exciting and interesting sport.
C.It’s a sport which only a few people love.
D.It’s a sport which needs few skills.

Scientists have implanted memories into the brins of birds, helping young zebra finches to learn a song normally taught to them by their fathers. 1. Like humans, zebra finches learn how to vocalize by imitating their parents. By listening to them sing, young birds memorize the notes.
“2 .” Todd Roberts, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, told Newsweek. “In fact, there are amazing similarities between songbirds learning their song and the early stages of speech learning."
Roberts, together with colleagues, used “optogenetic manipulation"— where light is used to monitor and control brain activity—to guide the learning of songs. 3. In this way, memories of syllables of a song were created—the length of a note agrees with the length of light exposure.
As a result, they guided the learning of the zebra finch with these implanted memories. Their findings are published in the journal Science.
“We learn many behaviors during development by copying the behavior of our parents, older siblings or teachers. 4. But our research in young songbirds shows that select synapses connecting sensory and motor circuits play a powerful role in laying down these types of memories and that activation of these connections in the brain can help form memories that can guide learning. We were very surprised by the outcome of our experiments," Roberts said.
Roberts said it is unlikely that a similar approach could be used in humans to implant memories.
5. However, he did say that understanding these pathways could help us understand conditions where developmental disorders cause speech problems.
A.They are active throughout the day.
B.Songbirds provide an excellent model.
C.Such experiments would give rise to debate.
D.The brain activities involved in this are still poorly understood.
E. They controlled the interactions between two regions of the brain
F. It may not be too many years before the measurements of brain activity.
G. The breakthrough has given an insight into the development of vocal learning.

4.D推理判断题。根据第二段中的“If you are looking for a relaxing,fun,low-key experience,choose larger teams.”可知,参加沙滩排球的人数越多,你会感到越轻松。故选D项。
5.C推理判断题。第三段介绍了沙滩排球和常规排球的区别。根据本段中的“...he will focus on building lower body strength as well as upper body strength”以及“Strengthening his legs...important.”可知,要想跳得高,运动员的下肢必须要强壮,所以C项正确。
6.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Since it is harder to move quickly on sand than a hard surface...”可知,在沙滩上快速运动比在坚硬的地面上困难,因此沙滩排球的进度要慢于普通排球,故选A项。
7.B推理判断题。根据文章首段以及最后一段可知,沙滩排球是一项让人兴奋且充满乐趣的体育活动,故B项正确。第一段中虽然提到沙滩排球很容易,但这并不能表明打沙滩排球不需要技巧,故D项错误。

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家将记忆植入鸟类的大脑中,帮助年轻的斑胸草雀学会通常由它们的父亲教会它们的歌曲。介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究对于人类植入记忆的意义。
1.根据上文“Scientists have implanted memories into the brins of birds, helping young zebra finches to learn a song normally taught to them by their fathers.(科学家将记忆植入鸟类的大脑中,帮助年轻的斑胸草雀学会通常由它们的父亲教会它们的歌曲)”可知,上文提到科学家将记忆植入鸟类的大脑中,帮助年轻的斑胸草雀学会通常由它们的父亲教会它们的歌曲,本句为本段最后一句,应承接上文说明这一突破的影响:使我们对声乐学习的发展有了深入的了解。故G选项“这一突破使我们对声乐学习的发展有了深入的了解”符合语境,故选G。
2.根据后文“Todd Roberts, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, told Newsweek. “In fact, there are amazing similarities between songbirds learning their song and the early stages of speech learning."(德克萨斯大学西南医学中心的Todd Roberts告诉《新闻周刊》。“事实上,鸣禽学习鸣叫和早期语言学习有惊人的相似之处。”)”可知,本句为引用Todd Roberts对于鸣禽学习鸣叫和早期语言学习的言论,B选项中songbirds对应后文中songbirds。故B选项“鸣禽提供了一个很好的模型”符合语境,故选B。
3.根据上文“Roberts, together with colleagues, used “optogenetic manipulation"— where light is used to monitor and control brain activity—to guide the learning of songs.( Roberts和他的同事们使用了“光基因操控”技术——利用光来监测和控制大脑活动——来指导对歌曲的学习)”以及后文“In this way, memories of syllables of a song were created—the length of a note agrees with the length of light exposure.(通过这种方式,对一首歌音节的记忆被创造出来——音符的长度与光线照射的长度一致)”可知,本句承接上文说明罗伯茨和他的同事们是如何通过控制大脑活动来指导歌曲学习的。E选项中They指代上文Roberts, together with colleagues。故E选项“他们控制了大脑两个区域之间的相互作用”符合语境,故选E。
4.根据上文“We learn many behaviors during development by copying the behavior of our parents, older siblings or teachers.(在发育过程中,我们通过模仿父母、哥哥姐姐或老师的行为来学习许多行为)”以及后文“But our research in young songbirds shows that select synapses connecting sensory and motor circuits play a powerful role in laying down these types of memories and that activation of these connections in the brain can help form memories that can guide learning.(但我们对小鸣禽的研究表明,连接感觉和运动回路的特定突触在形成这些类型的记忆中发挥了强大的作用,大脑中这些连接的激活可以帮助形成指导学习的记忆)”可知,上文提到了人类通过模仿来学习的行为,后文则提到对小鸣禽的研究发现了帮助形成学习记忆的大脑活动过程,可知本句与后文形成转折,指出对人们通过模仿学习的大脑活动知之甚少的情况。故D选项“参与其中的大脑活动仍然知之甚少”符合语境,故选D。
5.根据上文“Roberts said it is unlikely that a similar approach could be used in humans to implant memories.( Roberts说,类似的方法不太可能用于人类植入记忆)”可知,上文提到类似的方法不太可能用于人类植入记忆,故本句说明原因:这样的实验会引起争论。故C选项“这样的实验会引起争论”符合语境,故选C。

One day,Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed,but he lost them on the way home.It wasn’t until he got home that he realised he had lost the shoes.He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed,so he begged his sister to keep it secret.Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes.Zahra’s school hours were in the morning,so she would wear them first.After school,she would rush back and give them to Ali.He could then run to his school,which began in the afternoon.Although he ran as fast as he could,Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long-distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes,he decided to take part.He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived.Ali had a strong start,but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache.Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her.Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength,and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners,determined to finish third.Suddenly,as the finishing line drew near,another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

Filled with pleasure,Ali walked home quickly.He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news.On his arrival,Ali found Zahra was waiting outside.Nervous and anxious,Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting.“Zahra,see what I have got for you.” Ali said excitedly,taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands.The instant Zahra saw the shoes,her face lit up.So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali.“Thank you!Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
