How often do you have a conversation with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you can’t remember what he said Or, perhaps you get distracted while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. In today’s busy world, modern life is full of distractions: TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on, which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.
But how can we listen more effectively Jon Kabat-Zinn, professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, put forward the idea of mindful listening. He said mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.
When we listen mindfully, we can be aware of some barriers but still remain open to the speaker’s ideas and messages. Mindfulness encourages us to be aware of the present moment, let go of distractions and ignore physical and emotional reactions to what people say to us.
But how can we apply mindful listening to our life Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.
First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. Then develop empathy(共鸣). We often see the world through our own experiences. When we’re empathetic, we can understand a situation-from someone else’s point of view. At last, listen to our own “cues”. Our cues are the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can block out ideas and perspectives that we’re uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues, and allow us to choose not to let them block communication.
The rule is straightforward: simply “Listen”! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and don’t let other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.

There are some important regulations parents can take to make sure their kids use cell phones in a safe and responsible way. When kids know what the consequences are when rules aren’t followed, that makes life more predictable for them.
Most kids are not paying for their cell phones or their cell phone plans, so if you pay for it, you own it, which means you have the right to take it away anytime if they disobey the rules you set up earlier.
After a kid has a cell phone, suddenly parents discover data runs out half way through the month. This can get expensive and your kids need to know how to monitor their use. Also, teen cell phone addiction should be limited. Generally, it’s a good idea to have no cell phone policy while they are doing homework and at e to agreement in advance about what they are and aren’t allowed to download on their cell phone. There are some really bad apps for kids that you don’t want on their phones.
Make sure your kids understand how to set up their privacy. Talk with them about why guarding their privacy is so important. Many teens truly have no concept about everything that a cell phone can share about them including personal information and their location.
You want to cover what is and isn’t appropriate to share via a cell phone. This definitely means photos and language used in emails and on social media. But don’t forget simpler things like providing their address, their age or what school they go to online.
Lastly, there are times and places when using one’s cell phone is not appropriate. In movie theaters or during class time at school the phone should be on silent and put away. Additionally, when someone is having a face to face conversation with them, they need to be looking at the person, not their phone.

3.概要写作
Smart phone reliance (依赖)
Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, a day of another round of family reunions and parties. Yet today the parties are different from what they used to be. People are not together in the same home, but instead gather together in cyberspace. It is another symptom (症状) of the so﹣called smart phone reliance syndrome.
Therefore, we feel more distanced from each other in the real world. The reason is that we have more choices now,and we have to keep up with virtual(虚拟的)conversations for fear that we will miss out on something. We no longer have to pretend to be interested in someone standing before us, because we can just talk with someone more interesting somewhere else.
However, one group risks being left behind by this trend. The elderly in our society do not accept new technologies as fast as the younger and they can not enjoy the convenience of new technologies in the same way. Very few old people know how to use a smart phone, and most of the cell phone makers have all developed special cell phones with only basic functions to suit their needs. They even don't use the internet much. So, the elderly face the loneliness of being "left behind" by their children working in cities far away. Spring Festival is almost the only chance for them to talk with the younger generation, yet smartphones deprive (剥夺) them out of this opportunity.
The only way the younger and elder generations can meaningfully communicate is that the former put down their smartphones during this Spring Festival holiday and talk with their older relatives face to face. And by doing so, we will also be doing ourselves a favor. Today we are the digital pioneers, but we won't be in 30 years. It is our children that will be opening a new path with the latest technologies, and we, slow to accept new things, will be left to our own devices (设备). If we hope our children will talk with us 30 years later, we need to set a good example for them now.

4.Summary
Fishing is probably the world’s most popular sport. People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs. And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime. Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it. Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.
Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby. Firstly, of the millions of people who fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families. They catch fish that are found in large numbers, so there is little danger to the species.
Secondly, recreational fishermen contribute to the economy. They spend money on equipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel. Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation and airfares. This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year.
Thirdly, fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress. Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol, it is far better to go fishing. People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near –except for the smell of the bait!
Those who disagree with fishing say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers, lakes, streams and oceans. This could lead to the dying out of some species. Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world, so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females, leaving few fish to produce young.
Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun. Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating, so they are thrown away. Once hooked, fish have no chance of escape.
5.第五部分 书面表达(满分20分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Like many students, Ryan believes that the time and money spent on his education will pay off: he will eventually be able to get a good job and do well in the field he has chosen. Yet, in spite of all of the years spent in school preparing to enter the workplace, many recent graduates say that they struggle with the shift from classroom to career world and have difficulty adjusting to life on the job.
Writer and editor Joseph Lewis suggests one reason why this is the case.Lewis believes that most of our school experiences--from childhood through university-- are fairly predictable, while life in the working world is far more uncertain.In school,for example,the.pattern stays more or less the same from year to year. In the workplace, however, constant change is the norm, and one has to adapt quickly.
Another problem that graduates entering the workforce encounter is that they are unprepared to think analytically. In school, many students, including those in college, spend a lot of time memorizing facts and repeating what they“learned”on tests.But in the workplace employees“are often expected to think critically and make decisions about their work, not just follow a supervisor's instructions.” Less time needs to be spent in school on testing, says one recent report, and more on helping students to analyze and interpret information,solve problems,and communicate their ideas effectively--skills that will prepare them to succeed in today’s workplace.
Finally many recent graduates say that one of the biggest difficulties they face is adapting to teamwork on the job. In the workplace, employees must regularly interact with others and are often dependent on their co-workers for their success. In other words, if an employee has to work with others to complete a given project, that employee's success not only depends on his hard work and expertise(专业知识), but also on how well his colleagues perform.Knowing how to participate in teamwork--and deal with problems when they arise--is extremely important, and yet, it is also something many students didn’t get quite exposed to in a school setting.
How can we better prepare young adults for the workplace Recent graduates, looking back on their educational experience, have some advice. Many think that all students should be required to do an internship(实习) while they are in school. Volunteering part time at a company, hospital, or government organization, for example, can help one gain experience and learn skills needed to succeed in the real world.Pairing this kind of practical work experience with classroom instruction, say the graduates, will help prepare students for the realities of the workplace and make the transition from school to career world less stressful.

6.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many couples who already have one healthy, happy child, are facing a dilemma(困境),that is, the issue of whether to have a second child or not. They have hard jobs and limited time and money, but they want to make sure that their only child does not become a lonely child. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of having a second child That is what so many couples are very much concerned about and eager to understand.
One popular saying is that one child means a lonely child. That's why many single- child parents plan to have a second child. They feel guilty about their decision to have only one child, because there are no other children in the family for their only child to play with, which may make the child feel lonely at times, especially during vacations.
Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled than one with brothers or sisters. If one couple have only one child, the child can't learn to share things with others and is less capable of getting along well with other children than one who grows up with brothers or sisters.
However, in many parts of the world, more and more parents are still choosing not to have a second child because they argue that there are advantages for the child as well as the parents. With just one child, they suggest, there is little chance of family arguments concerned with children. Besides, as an only child in the family, the child can receive more quality time and attention. This often leads to increased self-respect and independence, which can lead to the child being more confident.
Unluckily, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child. Every family is different, and what is suitable for one family may not be for another. The important thing, in the end, is to make a decision that both you and your spouse(配偶)feel confident about.

8.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Bees are important to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate (授粉)large areas of crops, such as straw berries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.
In 2010, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive(蜂巢). In October of 2010, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.
There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeepers get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.
The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the less of that tiny flying insect.

9.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
If you're worried that too much “screen time ”could badly influence your child's intelligence, new research suggests you might be right. By analyzing the data gathered from over 4,500U. S. kids aged 8 to 11 between 2016 and 2017,Jeremy Walsh,a postdoctoral fellow with the CHEO Research Institute in Ottawa, found that too much “screen time” could be harming your child's intelligence.
Kids with the sharpest intellects spent less than two hours a day on their cellophanes, tablets and computers coupled with 9 to 11 hours of sleep and at least an hour of physical activity. Too much screen time could be affecting kids ability to focus, especially if they are switching between apps on a device or between different screens at the same time, Walsh suggested. “ One leading theory is that much time on screens is spent multitasking using multiple apps or devices at once,” he said. “This can interfere with a child's ability to focus and keep interest on a task. It can be damaging the building blocks for good cognition(认知).”
Sleep is important for brain development, since that's when the brain reorganizes itself and grows, Walsh added. Besides, exercise has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain and oxygenation of brain tissues, and increases the connectivity of networks in the brain. Too much screen time could lead to a“ cascade”(瀑布) effect where kids don't get enough sleep and then are less active during the day.“ You can see how this would have an impact on brain health,” Walsh said.
What should parents do Walsh advised setting firm rules about the use of screens including how long children are using the screens, the kinds of apps they are using and how many screens they are using at once. Concerned parents also should preview games or apps before letting their child play, seek out more interactive(交互的)options that engage the child's mind, and use parental controls to block or filter content and limit screen time.

10.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Is the traditional family dinner a thing of the past In today’s households where both parents go to work and kids have busy schedules with school, an array of afternoon activities and much homework, finding time for a gathering at the table seems impossible. Yet, studies have shown time and again that eating together has multiple benefits for family members, especially children.
According to a number of reports issued by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, children who eat at least five times a week with their family are at lower risk of developing poor eating habits, weight problems or alcohol dependencies, and tend to perform better academically than their peers who frequently eat alone or away from home.
Eating together as a family is not just about food and nutrition. “Food has become so easily and cheaply available that we no longer appreciate its significance,” says Professor Robin Fox, who teaches anthropology at Rutgers University in New Jersey. "We have to rediscover its importance and its value." Sharing a meal with loved ones should be considered a special event, which can almost take on the form of a ceremony, as it was practiced by our ancestors, for whom finding food was a constant struggle.
Besides appreciation for the value of food, there are also many social elements that come into play when families share meals, says Miriam Weinstein, author of The Surprising Power of Family Meals. The dinner table can be the perfect environment where kids learn how to conduct conversations, observe good manners, serve others, listen, solve conflicts and compromise.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the simple act of eating at home surrounded by family will save children from developing unhealthy lifestyles or making regrettable choices down the road. It may not make them more virtuous (品行端正的) or socially more responsible. But it can form a basis for a lot of things that point them in the right direction.

7.The introduction of iPads into the classroom divides students and teachers alike. Some applaud this initiative for it facilitates pupil-teacher interaction and boosts efficiency while others object because traditional instruction and notebook review are more effective.
I definitely go for iPad teaching in class. Specifically, user-friendly teaching apps like Quizlet or Kahoot can greatly involve students in class, stimulate their interest and enhance peer cooperation. Take Quizlet as an instance, by using iPads, teachers can instantly group students and get them started in a word dictation competition. After the game, winners and losers will soon pop out in teachers' backstage system and based on the results, the instructor can adjust his/her teaching strategy and give accurate feedbacks to individual students.
Admittedly, some students might get distracted by some inviting online games and be tempted into playing them within class. However, teachers can block pupils' access to these potential distractions and always put them on the right learning track by diversifying classroom activities and highlighting discipline issues.

9.New research has found that excessive“screen time”may negatively affect children's intelligence.(要点1) It prevents children from focusing and staying interested,thus restricting their cognitive development. (要点2) Also, it results in inadequate sleep and lack of physical activity, which do harm to the brain health. (要点3)Accordingly parents are advised to establish strict regulations concerning the use of screens, monitor the contents and limit the screen time.(要点4)
【分析】本文为概要写作。首先通读全文,确定每一段的主旨大意,然后根据大意圈定关键词和短语,再进行总结概括。
【详解】Paragraph 1:段首句提出了本段的话题:If you’re worried that too much “screen time” could badly influence your child's intelligence, new research suggests you might be right.(如果你担心孩子过多的使用电子产品会严重影响孩子的智力,新的研究表明你可能是对的)。其中的关键词too much、badly influence和suggest(表明)可以相应换成excessive(过多的)、negatively affect(严重影响)和find,因此可以将这句话这样总结:New research has found that excessive “screen time” may negatively affect children's intelligence.(要点1)
Paragraph 2:本段中Walsh的看法是主要内容:This can interfere with a child's ability to focus and keep interest on a task. It can be damaging the building blocks for good cognition. (这会干扰孩子对某项任务的注意力和保持兴趣的能力。它可能会损害良好认知的形成)。其中的关键词interfere with(干扰)、keep interest on a task和 damage(破坏)可以相应换成prevent… from…(阻止某人做某事)、 stay interested和restrict(限制)。因此可以将这句话这样总结:It prevents children from focusing and staying interested,thus restricting their cognitive development. (要点2)
Paragraph 3:第三段分析了睡眠对于头脑健康的重要性。该段的主旨句:“Too much screen time could lead to a “cascade”(瀑布) effect where kids don't get enough sleep and then are less active during the day.”(长时间使用电子产品可能会导致一种“级联效应”,即孩子们睡眠不足,然后白天活动减少)。其中的关键词lead to、don’t get enough sleep和less active可以相应换成result in(导致)、inadequate sleep(睡眠不足)和lack of physical activity(缺乏体育锻炼),因此可以将这句话这样总结:Also, it results in inadequate sleep and lack of physical activity,which do harm to the brain health. (要点3)
Paragraph4:第四段段落大意: “Walsh advised setting firm rules about the use of screens…(Walsh建议父母对电子产品的使用制定严格的规定)”和“filter content and limit screen time(过滤内容和限制使用时间)”回答了父母应该怎样做去控制孩子长时间玩手机、平板和电脑。其中的关键词set firm rules、about、filter content(过滤内容)可以相应换成establish strict regulations(制定严格的规定)、concerning(关于)和monitor the contents(监控内容),因此可以将这句话这样总结:Accordingly parents are advised to establish strict regulations concerning the use of screens, monitor the contents and limit the screen time.(要点4)
最后,将以上要点按照顺序连接起来就组成了本文的概要。
【点睛】概要写作要点:1.找出每段的关键信息;2.用自己的词、词组或结构重写关键信息;3. 加上一些连接性词语使文章更通顺。同时,在针对说明文的概要写作中,一定要注意每一段的第一句,在此体裁中第一句是该段落的中心句。其次,要注意段落中的并列连词或转折连词,连词后的内容是对中心句内容的补充说明。再次,注意文章中数字、时间的表达。针对说明文不同的类型,有以下几种参考模板:1.针对事物的性质和功能。“文章主体+性质/功能+利弊”。2.针对问题提出解决方法或解决措施。“问题+解决方法:1….,2….,3….”。3.针对事情的原因及结果。“现象+原因+结果(怎么办)”。
本文是一篇说明文。文章的话题是过多的“屏幕时间”会严重影响孩子的智力。整体结构分为四段。第一段提出话题:长时间使用电子产品会严重影响孩子的智力;第二段分析不良影响产生的原因一:这会干扰孩子对某项任务的注意力和保持兴趣的能力。它可能会损害良好认知的形成;第三段分析不良影响产生的原因二:长时间使用电子产品可能会导致一种“级联效应”,即孩子们睡眠不足,然后白天活动减少。第四段提出解决的办法:父母对电子产品的使用制定严格的规定。这中文章结构是上面提到的第三种情况,即针对事情的原因及结果:“现象+原因+结果(怎么办)”。
10.Studies find that eating together as a family, which nowadays seems impossible for busy parents and kids, is actually beneficial. (要点1) First, it can contribute to children’s better physical health and academic performances. (要点2) It also offers a platform where kids can learn to appreciate the value of food and develop social skills. (要点3、要点4) Though sharing meals may not ensure children lifelong wellness, it can at least guide them on the right track. (要点5)
【分析】这是一篇概要写作。
【详解】写作步骤
1)细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握文章主旨。
2)弄清结构,归纳段意。概要写作是写全文概要,不是写某一部分的概要,或者就某些问题写出要点。因此一定要弄清文章结构,归纳文章各段大意。
3)列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构,将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。
4)在写作时要特别注意下面几点:
(1)概要应包括原文中的主要事实,略去不必要的细节。
(2)安排好篇幅的比例,概要应同原文保持协调,即用较多的文字写重要内容,用较少的文字写次要内容。
(3)注意要点之间的衔接,要用适当的关联词语贯通全文,切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子,但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语,以免显得生硬。
(4)不排斥用原文的某些词句,但不要照搬原文的句子,如果不能完全用自己的话语表达,至少对原文句子做一些同义词替换,如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。
(5)计算词数,看是否符合规定的词数要求。
