Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2023·保山模拟) I was sitting at my desk when another graduate student in my lab approached me. “Can you help？” he begged.His experiment wasn't working and he desperately needed help.I was a fifth year PhD student, the senior member of the lab at the time.As I had many times before, I gave in and said yes.
I had a hard time saying no to such requests.I was new to the United States, having moved from China for graduate school.I found it difficult to make new friends and discover after-work activities I enjoyed.My lab-mates served as my primary source of social connection.I feared that if I brushed them off, I'd lose their favor.
After I graduated and started a job in industry, I continued to carry the same attitude with me, and it continued to cost me.It wasn't until my wife gave birth to our first child that I realized how thin I had stretched myself and how misguided my priorities (重要的事) were.While she lay in a hospital bed in the early stages of labor (分娩阵痛), I sat nearby, busy in correcting a work report on my laptop for my colleague.Hours later, after hearing my daughter's first cry and watching her tiny fingers grab tightly onto mine, it dawned on me that I should have been fully present during my daughter's birth.
From then on, I determined to spare more time for my family by reducing my work tasks and carefully considering each request for help.I still enjoyed cooperating with others, but I dealt with mutually (共同地) beneficial tasks first, rather than accepting everything that came my way.
I noticed many benefits, and few disadvantages.My daily work schedule was not so crowded.I no longer worked overtime, and I was able to improve my work performance by focusing more on important tasks.I was also pleased to discover that “Sorry, I'd love to help but I have a deadline coming up” is an acceptable response to a request for assistance.Most colleagues seem to understand.
It's hard to say “no” to those you work with.But I've learned that sometimes that's the best way to avoid too much workload and lead a freer and happier life.

(2023·沧州高三检测) Although we benefit from deep and meaningful conversations that help us build connections with one another, we often stick to small talk with strangers because we underestimate (低估) how much others are interested in our lives and wrongly believe that deep conversations will be more awkward and less enjoyable than they actually are, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and his colleagues designed a series of experiments with more than 1,800 participants.The researchers asked pairs of people — mainly strangers — to discuss either relatively deep or shallow topics.In the first experiment, people received shallow or deep questions to discuss.Before the conversations, participants predicted how awkward they thought the conversations would be, how connected they thought they would feel to their conversation partner and how much they would enjoy the conversations.Afterward, they rated how awkward the conversations actually were, how connected they actually felt and how much enjoyment they actually experienced.
The researchers found that both deep and shallow conversations felt less awkward than the participants had expected.That effect tended to be stronger for deep conversations.
Deep conversations were also more enjoyable and led to a stronger sense of connection.In the second experiment, participants who had a deep conversation with one partner and a shallow conversation with another partner initially expected to prefer the shallow conversation but actually preferred the deep conversation after having both of them.
“Our participants' expectations about deep conversations were greatly mistaken in a way that could keep people from interacting deeply with others in their daily lives，” Epley said.“As the pandemic (疫情) wanes and social distance restrictions become less strict, and we all get back to talking with each other again, being aware that others also like deep conversations might lead you to have more pleasant interactions.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究发现，人们实际上很喜欢与陌生人进行深入的交谈。
5．What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment
A．Choose some topics they prefer.
B．Avoid discussing shallow topics.
C．Make predictions on their feelings.
D．Classify various types of questions.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Before the conversations, participants predicted how awkward they thought the conversations would be ...how much they would enjoy the conversations.”可知，参与者在第一个实验中被要求预测他们的感受。
6．It's found that the participants in the first experiment ________.
A．preferred to discuss shallow questions with strangers
B．felt very awkward when conducting deep conversations
C．underestimated how awkward their strange partners felt
D．overestimated the awkwardness of talking with strangers
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容，尤其是第一句可知，参与者原本以为与陌生人交谈会很尴尬，但是实验结果表明并非如此。由此推知，参与者高估了与陌生人交谈的尴尬程度。
7．What does the second experiment find about having deep conversations with strangers
A．It is easier to conduct than making small talk.
B．It usually causes a weaker sense of connection.
C．It is more enjoyable than having shallow ones.

解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“social distance restrictions become less strict”可推断，画线词所在的句子表示“随着疫情消退，社会距离限制变得不那么严格”。由此推知，画线词意为“消退”，与D项的意思最为接近。

Section Ⅱ 课时作业
一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·大连模拟) While verbal and written communication skills are important, nonverbal behaviors make up a large percentage of our daily interpersonal communication.
Good eye contact is an essential nonverbal communication skill.When people fail to look at others in the eye, it can seem as if they are trying to hide something.On the other hand, too much eye contact can seem aggressive.While eye contact is an important part of communication, it's important to remember that good eye contact does not mean staring fixedly into someone's eyes.Some communication experts recommend intervals of eye contact lasting four to five seconds.
If you are confused about another person's nonverbal signals, don't be afraid to ask questions.A good idea is to repeat back your interpretation of what has been said and ask for clarification.An example of this might be: “So what you are saying is that ...” Sometimes simply asking such questions can lend a great deal of clarity to a situation.For example, a person might be giving off certain nonverbal signals because he has something else on his mind.
Another important part of good nonverbal communication skills involves being able to take a more holistic approach to what a person is communicating.A single gesture can mean any number of things, or maybe even nothing at all.The key to accurately reading nonverbal behavior is to look for groups of signals that reinforce a common point.If you place too much emphasis on just one signal out of many, you might come to an inaccurate conclusion about what a person is trying to say.
According to some experts, a firm handshake indicates a strong personality while a weak handshake is taken as a lack of courage.This example illustrates an important point about the possibility of misreading nonverbal signals.A limp handshake might actually indicate something else entirely, such as arthritis (关节炎)．Always remember to look for groups of behavior.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了非语言沟通技巧至关重要，通过它可以更轻松地传达一个人的观点并读懂其他人试图告诉你的内容。
1．What is good eye contact
A．Looking others in the eye for six seconds.
B．Staring fixedly into someone's eyes.
C．Looking directly and telling the truth.
D．Having eye contact every five seconds.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Some communication experts recommend intervals of eye contact lasting four to five seconds.”可知，最恰当的眼神接触是间隔4至5秒。
2．What should you do if you don't understand another person's nonverbal signals
A．Give him a smile.
B．Ask for further information.
C．Tell him you're on his mind.
D．Give off certain nonverbal signals.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If you are confused about another person's nonverbal signals, don't be afraid to ask questions.”可知，通过进一步提出问题可以使情况更清晰。
3．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about
A．Look at signals as a whole.
B．Concentrate on your communication skills.
C．Ask questions about nonverbal signals.
D．Encourage listeners to use groups of signals.
解析：选A 段落大意题。根据第四段第一句和“The key to accurately reading nonverbal behavior is to look for groups of signals that reinforce a common point.”可知，准确解读非言语行为的关键是寻找强化共同点的肢体语言群，所以良好的非语言沟通技巧要求以更全面的方式来看待交流，即从整体上来看这些肢体语言。
4．Why does the author mention arthritis in the last paragraph
A．To call on readers to understand others while speaking.
B．To ask readers to practice nonverbal signals more.
C．To tell readers signals can be misread.
D．To prove a single gesture is a must.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“A limp handshake might actually indicate something else entirely, such as arthritis.”可知，作者提起关节炎旨在说明肢体语言有时候也会被人误读。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
How to use humor to make friends
Be cheerful and not worried about anything
Bringing laughter, happiness and smiling to others is more about being light-hearted than it is about “being funny”. __5__.Just feel happiness, be positive and be light-hearted.Such a mindset is naturally attractive to others.
Be authentic; don't force it
__6__.It can't be forced or be planned in advance.When it feels like you're trying too hard to be funny or friendly, strangers and new acquaintances will interpret your efforts as inauthentic attempts to overcompensate for something.
__7__
Joking is a great way to make others laugh and develop a new connection with people, but you shouldn't depend upon making jokes at the expense of others, and don't fall into the trap of making fun of others around you. __8__.
Recognize when to use humor
Think of an uncomfortable situation: you just met an entire table of new people and you don't remember any of their names; now there is a very awkward silence among the group.How do you break the uneasiness __9__.Laughing helps overcome the bridge of social discomfort in any circumstance, and the same applies when you meet new people.
A．With a joke
B．Be able to take a joke
C．Don't joke at the expense of others
D．You need to expect a joke to be told at your expense
E．It may be funny, but it's not attractive to laugh at others
F．Don't think of yourself as having to represent the role of a comedian
G．Connecting with people through humor and happiness has to be authentic
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何利用幽默感来结交朋友。
5．解析：选F 上文引出带给他人快乐这一话题，下文进一步解释了带给他人快乐的真正含义。故F项“不要觉得自己必须扮演喜剧演员的角色”承上启下，符合语境。
6．解析：选G 本段小标题“Be authentic; don't force it”表明了利用幽默感结识朋友的一个要点是：真情实感；G项的关键词“authentic”呼应标题。故G项“通过幽默感和快乐和他人建立关系必须要真诚”符合语境，并与下文衔接紧密。
7．解析：选C 空处是本段小标题。本段主要介绍了开玩笑要有度，不能总开他人的玩笑，故C项“不要开他人的玩笑”能够概括本段内容。
8．解析：选E 上文提到了不能拿他人开玩笑，也不要取笑身边的人。故E项“这种玩笑也许很滑稽，但是取笑他人并不讨人喜欢”承接上文，符合语境。
9．解析：选A 上文向读者提出了一个问题：参加全是陌生人的聚会时，面对一阵尴尬的沉默，如何打破这种局促感？下文进一步解释了为什么能够通过开玩笑来化解这种局促感。故A项“开个玩笑”承上启下，符合语境。
Ⅲ.语法填空
(2023·绥化模拟) In 2014, I was looking through a Facebook group when I spotted a post claiming D|S200 roundtrip tickets to Dubai. With little __1__ (hesitate), I confirmed the deal, checked my calendar and __2__ (book) tickets.No asking friends, no waiting __3__ job approvals, and no overthinking.It would be my first trip alone.
I met Jibri during the layover.She got my attention and we started chatting about travel deals and groups.During our small talk, I considered __4__ (put) my earphones back in or making up a reason to excuse __5__ (I)．However, I finally decided to continue interacting with the new person and see __6__ it could lead. In fact, she left a deep impression on me.Not only __7__ we exchange contact information to meet in Dubai, but we joined other travel group members who rented a boat for an afternoon trip.
It was totally outside of my comfort zone! Unexpectedly, I met amazing people and gained __8__ (wonder) friendships.I learned __9__ (trust) my abilities and instincts (直觉) even when I had to improvise (即兴做事)．I learned that strangers were just friends who hadn't met you.Most importantly, I learned that my suitcase was much __10__ (light) when I didn't fill it with fear.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在旅行中结交了很棒的朋友及其对独自旅行的感悟。
1．hesitation 考查名词。with后应接名词，hesitation是不可数名词。
2．booked 考查动词时态。空处所填词与confirmed, checked并列作谓语，需用一般过去时。
3．for 考查介词。wait for意为“等待”，为固定短语。
4．putting 考查动名词。consider doing sth.意为“考虑做某事”，为固定用法。
5．myself 考查代词。此处表示为“自己开脱”，且主语为I, 所以宾语为反身代词myself。
6．where 考查连接词。see后接宾语从句，表示“通向哪里(有什么结果)”，所以应用连接副词where。
7．did 考查助动词。not only置于句首，本句为部分倒装句；根据下文的“we joined ...”可知，此处应用一般过去时，故填助动词did。
8．wonderful 考查形容词。修饰名词friendships应用形容词wonderful。
9．to trust 考查非谓语动词。learn to do sth.意为“学习做某事”，为固定用法。
10．lighter 考查形容词比较级。根据句意以及“much”可知，空处应用形容词比较级，表示“轻得多”，故填lighter。

一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·大连模拟) While verbal and written communication skills are important, nonverbal behaviors make up a large percentage of our daily interpersonal communication.
Good eye contact is an essential nonverbal communication skill.When people fail to look at others in the eye, it can seem as if they are trying to hide something.On the other hand, too much eye contact can seem aggressive.While eye contact is an important part of communication, it's important to remember that good eye contact does not mean staring fixedly into someone's eyes.Some communication experts recommend intervals of eye contact lasting four to five seconds.
If you are confused about another person's nonverbal signals, don't be afraid to ask questions.A good idea is to repeat back your interpretation of what has been said and ask for clarification.An example of this might be: “So what you are saying is that ...” Sometimes simply asking such questions can lend a great deal of clarity to a situation.For example, a person might be giving off certain nonverbal signals because he has something else on his mind.
Another important part of good nonverbal communication skills involves being able to take a more holistic approach to what a person is communicating.A single gesture can mean any number of things, or maybe even nothing at all.The key to accurately reading nonverbal behavior is to look for groups of signals that reinforce a common point.If you place too much emphasis on just one signal out of many, you might come to an inaccurate conclusion about what a person is trying to say.
According to some experts, a firm handshake indicates a strong personality while a weak handshake is taken as a lack of courage.This example illustrates an important point about the possibility of misreading nonverbal signals.A limp handshake might actually indicate something else entirely, such as arthritis (关节炎)．Always remember to look for groups of behavior.
