Ⅰ.阅读理解
That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.
“Hi！My name is Karmen，” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said, “Hello，Karmen. I'm Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered her to be one of my best friends.
One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she still didn't turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will (遗嘱), which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.
Though several years has gone by, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house, I remember the wonderful friendship we had.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Going to school looks quite a bit different during the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病). Students and teachers have to wear masks and keep social distance in the whole day. But teachers like Mary Schulz of the West Fork School District in Rockwell, Lowa, still miss the daily greetings that help grow their relationship with their kids. One of the things that Mary missed most was her daily greeting each third grade students with a hug, high-five, or handshake.“When we came back, we hadn't seen each other in so long and the students just wanted to reach out, you could see it，” she said.“It was just kind of awkward. Maybe you will think the ways of greetings are funny.”
She thought of a clever way to have each of her students come up with a special greeting to start their day! Some of them do a dance move, some simply wave, and others have a difficult foot-tap combination. Mary learned all 20 of their special hellos and now her kids are glad to line up for their daily welcome from Mrs Mary.
Mary said she has felt more connected with her students since having the daily greetings, and the kids just like it! “We're just trying to have school life with some fun things，” she added.“It has brought me joy too.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在传染病大流行期间，Mary Schulz和孩子们之间运用了不同一般的每日问候，增进他们之间的关系，给他们带来了许多快乐。

解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“One of the things ...handshake.”(Mary最怀念的事情之一是她每天用拥抱、击掌或者握手来问候每一个三年级的学生。)可以推断，Mary经常用一个欢迎的动作来问候学生。故选D项。
2．How did Mary Schulz learn so many kinds of greetings
A．On the Internet.
B．From her students.
C．Keeping thinking by herself.
D．Her friends told her.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She thought of ...day！”(她想出了一个聪明的办法，让她的每个学生都想出一个特别的问候语来开始他们的一天！)以及后文内容可知，Mary Schulz是通过学生了解到这么多种问候语的。故选B项。
3．What did the daily greeting bring about
A．Students became friendly and polite.
B．Both Mary and students felt very happy.
C．Students started to keep social distance.

Once there was a little girl Lily who was very friendly and popular in her class. She was friends with everyone in her class. There was no one in class who did not like her. She was very kind and would always be busy with her friends. She felt very happy that she had so many friends at school and in her neighborhood.
On Friendship Day, her class organized an event, in which everyone had to make three presents and give them to their best friends. Lily was really looking forward to the coming Friendship Day as she was expecting gifts from her friends. However, when all the presents were shared among her classmates, she was the only one who hadn't received any presents. She felt terrible and cried a lot. She wondered how that was possible. She had made so much effort to be friends with everyone but in the end no one thought of her as one of their best friends.
Everyone came and tried to comfort her for a while but each one only stayed for a short time before leaving. This was exactly what Lily had done so many times to others.
On that day when she got home, her mother saw her sad face. And then her mother asked her the reason for her sadness. “Where can I find true friends？” Lily asked. Her mother was surprised at her question. Then she asked Lily what had happened in school. Her mother comfort her and said, “You cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and love. For a true friend you must always be available, in good times and bad.”
Lily replied, “But I want to be friends with everyone！”

Paragraph 2：
Lily decided to change her ways and thought how she could make true friends.

A
What people say is only one aspect of good communication. Good listening skills and body language are also important for us to effectively communicate with others. Effective communication involves more than talking to a person. How things are said, words are chosen and tones are adopted are all aspects of good communication.
Body language, a common form of non-verbal communication, can support what a speaker is saying. Studies have shown that of the information that is received from other people, only 10% is from what they say and 40% is from the tone and speed of their voice. The other 50% is obtained from their body language. Reading body language is part of developing social skills.
Some professionals, such as lawyers, governmental security officers and doctors on mental problems, learn to read every type of body language of others to help in their jobs. They look for specific signs, while the average person reads some body language subconsciously(下意识地). Body language can involve one aspect such as the eyes, or the use of different body parts. Where the body is positioned in relation to another person or at a table is another piece in communicating what the person is feeling. Troubles may arise(出现) when body language is misunderstood.
Good listening skills clear the way to a clear message while bad listening skills create barriers which can confuse or stop the message. Good listeners can use body language by nodding occasionally to show interest and understanding, make eye contact with the speaker, repeat some of the words and feelings, and summarize what they have heard. All these can avoid communication troubles.
Poor listeners rarely communicate effectively. Barriers they commonly use may include: interruptions, inappropriate humor, judgments, criticisms, and unrelated questions. People who are attempting to communicate with a person who continually throws out barriers will often stop talking and they even get angry as they feel misunderstood and frustrated. Healthy minded people are able to communicate with others effectively by avoiding these barriers. They are able to let their partners know what they want regularly and clearly.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了有效的沟通不仅仅是与人交谈，良好的倾听技巧和肢体语言也很重要。
1．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．Speakers usually pay little attention to what they said and what words and tones they use.
B．Good communication means talking to a person effectively with right tones and speed.
C．Body language and listening skills are highly involved in successful communication.
D．The manner of communication is determined by the listener rather than the speaker.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Good listening skills ...with others.”可知，肢体语言和倾听技巧是成功沟通的关键。故选C项。
2．According to the studies, body language ________.
A．makes up 40% of the information received from communication
B．sometimes leads people to misunderstand what others have said
C．can remind the listeners of what the speakers are actually expressing
D．can only be correctly read by people with excellent social skills
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The other 50% is obtained from their body language.(另外50%的信息来自他们的肢体语言。)”可知，肢体语言可以提醒倾听者说话的人实际想表达的意思。故选C项。
3．Which of the following reactions of a listener may create difficulties in communication
A．Making a summary of what he has heard.
B．Repeating the speaker's words and ideas.
C．Showing his feeling to the speaker.
D．Bringing in an unrelated topic suddenly.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Poor listeners ...unrelated questions.”可知，不好的听众很少有效地沟通。他们常用的障碍包括：打断、不恰当的幽默、判断、批评和不相干的问题。所以D项“突然引入一个无关的话题”可能会造成沟通困难。故选D项。
4．What's the author's purpose of writing this text
A．To emphasize that communication involves more than talking.
B．To introduce different types of non-verbal communication.

“True friendship is like sound health. The value of it is seldom known until it is lost，” Charles Caleb Colton said. Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also part of friendship. You will hardly find friends who have never fought with one another. Whatever the reason is, if a person feels that he is responsible for causing the differences, it is important that he should apologize to his friend.
Though you can use the email, text messages or chat for expressing your apology, the good old way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have a great effect on him. This will make your friend realize that your efforts of saying sorry are genuine and that you really care about him.
Points to Remember：
Timing: Write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put it off for too long.
Words: While you are writing the letter, what matters most is that you truly feel sorry.
Sequence: Always begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistake. Then explain to him your side of the story. In the third and last paragraph, talk about what his friendship means to you and make a promise of not repeating the mistake.
Delivery: You should either post the letter or deliver it personally or through someone else. You can also keep it at a location where your friend will be able to find it easily.
Some people may try to point out the friend's mistake while writing the letter. Avoid this completely, as it can make matters worse. The letter has to be brief and should only talk about the subject that has led to your apology. Keep patient and do not expect immediate results. In some cases, it may take time for the person to forgive and forget.

2．选A 分析文章结构可知，空格处是本段的主题句。主题句形式应一致，故这句也要用祈使句。下文“If you're uncertain about hanging out with someone, say so sooner rather than later.”说明如果不能确定的事情(约会)，要早点儿(提前)通知对方(计划的改变)，A项“提前改变计划。”作为主题句，能概括本段主题，和下文语义一致。选项中in advance与下文中sooner语义相关。故选A项。

4．选E 上文“If you tell ...a promise.”说明只要你约了某人在某时见面，这就是承诺，就要信守承诺，E项“准时向别人表明你是个守信用的人。”承接上文，和上文谈论话题一致，说明用守时来表明你是一个守信的人。选项中a person of your word和上文中you've made a promise语义相关。故选E项。
5．选G 上文“Don't hide or bend ... information.”说明不要隐瞒或歪曲事实，不说谎话，选项G“说真话会让人们觉得你是一个可靠的人。”与上文谈论话题一致，说明要说真话，选项中Telling the truth和上文Don't hide or bend the truth语义一致。故选G项。UNIT 1 课时跟踪检测（一） 阅读理解专项练

What people say is only one aspect of good communication. Good listening skills and body language are also important for us to effectively communicate with others. Effective communication involves more than talking to a person. How things are said, words are chosen and tones are adopted are all aspects of good communication.
Body language, a common form of non-verbal communication, can support what a speaker is saying. Studies have shown that of the information that is received from other people, only 10% is from what they say and 40% is from the tone and speed of their voice. The other 50% is obtained from their body language. Reading body language is part of developing social skills.
Some professionals, such as lawyers, governmental security officers and doctors on mental problems, learn to read every type of body language of others to help in their jobs. They look for specific signs, while the average person reads some body language subconsciously(下意识地). Body language can involve one aspect such as the eyes, or the use of different body parts. Where the body is positioned in relation to another person or at a table is another piece in communicating what the person is feeling. Troubles may arise(出现) when body language is misunderstood.
Good listening skills clear the way to a clear message while bad listening skills create barriers which can confuse or stop the message. Good listeners can use body language by nodding occasionally to show interest and understanding, make eye contact with the speaker, repeat some of the words and feelings, and summarize what they have heard. All these can avoid communication troubles.
Poor listeners rarely communicate effectively. Barriers they commonly use may include: interruptions, inappropriate humor, judgments, criticisms, and unrelated questions. People who are attempting to communicate with a person who continually throws out barriers will often stop talking and they even get angry as they feel misunderstood and frustrated. Healthy minded people are able to communicate with others effectively by avoiding these barriers. They are able to let their partners know what they want regularly and clearly.
1．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．Speakers usually pay little attention to what they said and what words and tones they use.
B．Good communication means talking to a person effectively with right tones and speed.
C．Body language and listening skills are highly involved in successful communication.
D．The manner of communication is determined by the listener rather than the speaker.
2．According to the studies, body language ________.
A．makes up 40% of the information received from communication
B．sometimes leads people to misunderstand what others have said
C．can remind the listeners of what the speakers are actually expressing
D．can only be correctly read by people with excellent social skills
3．Which of the following reactions of a listener may create difficulties in communication
A．Making a summary of what he has heard.
B．Repeating the speaker's words and ideas.
C．Showing his feeling to the speaker.
D．Bringing in an unrelated topic suddenly.
4．What's the author's purpose of writing this text
A．To emphasize that communication involves more than talking.
B．To introduce different types of non-verbal communication.
C．To suggest ways to effectively communicate with others.
D．To discuss the different effects of good and poor listening skills.
