（江苏省徐州市第一中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中）Having good communication skills is important. They can help you with presentations in class, during job interviews, when handling arguments, and in a variety of other situations. 1
Make eye contact. Whether you are speaking or listening, looking into the eyes of the person with whom you are conversing can make the interaction more successful. One technique to help with this is to consciously look into one of the listener’s eyes and then move to the other eye. Going back and forth between the two makes your eyes appear to sparkle. 2 It is a line across the eye brows and the vertical (垂直的) line comes down the center of the nose. Keep your eyes scanning that zone.
Be aware of what your body is saying. Body language can say so much more than a mouthful of words. An open opinion with arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are approachable and open to hearing what they have to say. 3 Often, communication can be stopped before it starts by body language that tells people you don’t want to talk.
4 Not only should one be able to speak effectively, one must listen to the other person’s words and engage in communication on what the other person is speaking about. Avoid the impulse to listen only for the end of their sentence so that you can blurt out the ideas or memories in your mind while the other person is speaking.
Slow your speech down. People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if you talk fast. 5 Practice this and, after a period of time, your speed will begin to lower. However, be careful not to slow down to the point where people begin to finish your sentences just to help you finish.
A. Develop effective listening skills.
B. Form the habit of speaking effectively
C. Begin doing exercises to lower your speech.
D. Here’s what you can do to change the situation.
E. Fortunately, there are some ways to improve your skills.
F. However, crossed ones suggest disinterest in conversation.
G. Another trick is to imagine a letter “T” on the listener’s face.
【答案】1. E 2. G 3. F 4. A 5. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四种可以提高沟通技巧的方法。

2. 根据前文“One technique to help with this is to consciously look into one of the listener’s eyes and then move to the other eye.(一种技巧可以帮助你做到这一点，那就是有意识地看着对方的一只眼睛，然后转向另一只眼睛。)”与此对应，下文继续描述另一种技巧。G选项“Another trick is to imagine a letter “T” on the listener’s face.(另一个技巧是想象一个字母“T”在听者的脸上。)”符合题意，故选G。
3. 根据前文“Be aware of what your body is saying. Body language can say so much more than a mouthful of words.(注意你的身体在说什么。肢体语言比满嘴的词语更能说明问题。)”可知，本段介绍的是肢体语言的特点。F选项“However, crossed ones suggest disinterest in conversation.(然而，交叉（双臂）的人表示对谈话不感兴趣。)”符合题意，故选F。
4. 根据后文“Not only should one be able to speak effectively, one must listen to the other person’s words and engage in communication on what the other person is speaking about.(一个人不仅应该能够有效地说话，一个人必须听别人的话，并参与到交流中，其他人正在说什么。)”可知，本段介绍的方法是要学会倾听。A选项“Develop effective listening skills.(培养有效的倾听技巧。)”符合题意，故选A。
5. 根据小标题“Slow your speech down.(放慢你的说话速度。)”和后文“Practice this and, after a period of time, your speed will begin to lower.(练习这个方法，一段时间后，你的速度会开始下降。)”可知，本段介绍的是通过练习降慢语速。C选项“Begin doing exercises to lower your speech.(开始做练习来降慢你的演讲。)”符合题意，故选C。

U.N. Report Warns Nature Crisis
A new U.N. report focuses on the negative effects of human activity on nature. It says one million plant and animal species on land, in the seas and in the sky are now in danger of extinction.

Species are going to extinct several hundred times faster than the average rate during the past ten million years. It’s something that has never happened before in human history.
7 Since 1970, the human population has doubled. The global economy has grown by four times. To feed, clothe and give energy to this fast-changing world, lots of forests have been cut down. 3 Furthermore, hunting, overfishing and pollution have also been killing species in great numbers.
The problem can be fixed, the report says. 4 The amount of land and sea that is under protection needs to increase rapidly. The report suggests governments move away from using GDP as a key measure of development. Long-term effects must be considered, too.
Professor Eduardo Brondizio of Indiana University is an author of the report. He says, “We all know what needs to be done. The knowledge is there. 5 ”
A. However, this requires many changes.
B. Over 120 wildlife species are facing extinction.

（浙江省浙江大学附属中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中）How can teenagers keep themselves from suffering from loneliness Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.
1 A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria (餐厅) won’t make you best friends. But it will make you both feel good. It also can make it easier to interact the next time, and the time after that.
Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the dancing party makes you feel like you just don’t belong, try joining a special-interest group. 2 Just because you feel left out in one group doesn’t mean you’ll feel like an outsider in every other one. Look for a group that allows you to feel comfortable gradually.
Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others rather than waiting for them to make you feel better. 3 Help a child in rending. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make.
4 Loneliness is an absence of quality friendship, not of a particular quantity of friends. That’s why it’s important to know how to select a friend.
You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in proper ways that encourage people to be friendlier to you. 5 But starting the first step of positive expectations can make all the difference.
A. Choose the right people.
B. Loneliness won’t last long.
C. So consider becoming a volunteer.
D. Reach out to others but start small.
E. It can be hard work to be positive toward others.
F. Maybe it’s the drama club or the marching band.
G. This harmful attitude can continue into adulthood.
【答案】1. D 2. F 3. C 4. A 5. E

（江苏省徐州市第一中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中）Having good communication skills is important. They can help you with presentations in class, during job interviews, when handling arguments, and in a variety of other situations. 1
Make eye contact. Whether you are speaking or listening, looking into the eyes of the person with whom you are conversing can make the interaction more successful. One technique to help with this is to consciously look into one of the listener’s eyes and then move to the other eye. Going back and forth between the two makes your eyes appear to sparkle. 2 It is a line across the eye brows and the vertical (垂直的) line comes down the center of the nose. Keep your eyes scanning that zone.
Be aware of what your body is saying. Body language can say so much more than a mouthful of words. An open opinion with arms relaxed at your sides tells anyone around you that you are approachable and open to hearing what they have to say. 3 Often, communication can be stopped before it starts by body language that tells people you don’t want to talk.
4 Not only should one be able to speak effectively, one must listen to the other person’s words and engage in communication on what the other person is speaking about. Avoid the impulse to listen only for the end of their sentence so that you can blurt out the ideas or memories in your mind while the other person is speaking.
Slow your speech down. People will perceive you as nervous and unsure of yourself if you talk fast. 5 Practice this and, after a period of time, your speed will begin to lower. However, be careful not to slow down to the point where people begin to finish your sentences just to help you finish.
A. Develop effective listening skills.
B. Form the habit of speaking effectively
C. Begin doing exercises to lower your speech.
D. Here’s what you can do to change the situation.
E. Fortunately, there are some ways to improve your skills.

A new U.N. report focuses on the negative effects of human activity on nature. It says one million plant and animal species on land, in the seas and in the sky are now in danger of extinction.

The problem can be fixed, the report says. 4 The amount of land and sea that is under protection needs to increase rapidly. The report suggests governments move away from using GDP as a key measure of development. Long-term effects must be considered, too.
Professor Eduardo Brondizio of Indiana University is an author of the report. He says, “We all know what needs to be done. The knowledge is there. 5 ”

（浙江省浙江大学附属中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中）How can teenagers keep themselves from suffering from loneliness Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.
1 A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria (餐厅) won’t make you best friends. But it will make you both feel good. It also can make it easier to interact the next time, and the time after that.
Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the dancing party makes you feel like you just don’t belong, try joining a special-interest group. 2 Just because you feel left out in one group doesn’t mean you’ll feel like an outsider in every other one. Look for a group that allows you to feel comfortable gradually.
Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others rather than waiting for them to make you feel better. 3 Help a child in rending. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make.
4 Loneliness is an absence of quality friendship, not of a particular quantity of friends. That’s why it’s important to know how to select a friend.
You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in proper ways that encourage people to be friendlier to you. 5 But starting the first step of positive expectations can make all the difference.
A. Choose the right people.
B. Loneliness won’t last long.
C. So consider becoming a volunteer.
D. Reach out to others but start small.
E. It can be hard work to be positive toward others.

（22-23高一下·广东深圳·期中）Rural homestays have become the fastest-growing part in the bed-and-breakfast market since the COVID-19 pandemic. 1
Tujia, a domestic online homestay service provider, said there are nearly 800, 000 domestic rural homestays available online nationwide. Now, the booking volume of rural homestays accounts for about 40 percent of the total short-term rentals. Most people who took rural trips are urbanites (都市人) who seek escape from1 fast-paced modern life. 2 Fruit and vegetable picking, agricultural research and making handicrafts are among the most popular activities for rural homestay tourists, according to Tujia.
Zhou Cheng, a 33-year-old rural homestay operator, has been involved in the business for more than a decade. 3 In 2010, he started operating a rural homestay in Lijiang, and annual income was about 200, 000 yuan. Besides accommodations, catering (餐饮) services are also provided. Visitors can enjoy package services at Zhou’s well-equipped lodging (住宿) rental business. 4 All of them are local villagers and their monthly income is around 4, 000 yuan per person.
“ 5 The COVID-19 pandemic has further fostered their habit of choosing bed-and-breakfast options. Unlike the early stages, rural homestays now provide superior facilities and tailored services, including comprehensive upgraded rural products. The sector’s growth potential is higher than ever. ”said Yang Ilu, director of the Guangdong Province B&B Industry Association.

（22-23高一下·广东深圳·期中）Coral reefs, found only in warm, shallow waters, are made up of groups of tiny animals called coral. When coral die, they leave behind hard skeletons (骨架) that build up and form reefs. As new coral grow on top, the reefs grow bigger. 1 Some look like boats, while others are shaped like horns. Some look almost like brains.
Coral reefs take centuries to grow. 2 Some threats are natural. Storms bring giant waves that can destroy coral to bits and pieces. When heavy rains wash soil off the land, the soil ends up in the water, and it blocks out the sunlight that coral need to grow.
Other threats, such as careless diving, come from humans. 3 Reef fish are highly sought by supermarkets and restaurants. To catch them alive so that they stay fresh longer some fishermen use a poison called cyanide. They spray the poison into the water, and it stuns (使……昏迷) the fish, but does not kill them. However, the poison can kill the coral and other reef inhabitants as well. Authorities are working hard to stop this kind of fishing. 4 “Fish need the reefs,” they explain. “If you kill the reefs, the fish will disappear. You are actually killing your own future.”
Another threat to reefs is harder to control. It is the rising water temperatures. Water that is too warm causes coral to get “bleached”or lose their color. Then they die. Some scientists think that global warming may be causing ocean waters to warm up quickly. 5
A. Be conscious when buying sea fish.
B. Destructive fishing is another example.
C. They teach fishermen about the harm it causes.
D. They come in many colors and different shapes.
E. However, they can be destroyed much more quickly.
F. If this continues, reefs around the world will disappear.
G. Climate change is one of the major threats to coral reefs’ survival.

（22-23高一下·湖北·期中）When I was a child, my grandparents bought a second home in Arkansas and would bring me there every single summer. I would spend a lot of time outside. 1 We would collect cool-looking rocks and refill the hummingbird feeders. Almost every afternoon we would drive down to Bull Shoals lake, the “swimming hole,” and take a swim.

I remember repeating to myself “oak trees, dogwood trees, maple trees” over and over so that I could impress him by remembering. I would search around the yard, and if I was lucky I would find a turtle. If I did find a turtle I would go to get my grandfather so that he could pick it up and put it in the kiddy pool for me to observe for a few minutes. 3 After I finished observing the turtle, my grandfather would pick it back up and return it to the bush I found it in. I would watch in amazement as it slowly stuck its legs out and crawled back under.
4 It was quiet and full of interesting natural things I never got to see in Illinois. I could definitely tell that my grandparents had an appreciation for nature as well. They disturb the land around them as little as possible and didn’t see it as annoyance, rather a beautiful view.

（22-23高一下·湖北·期中）It can be a challenge to learn a new language like English. 1 Here are some tips to help you become a better English learners.
Studying every day comes first. Learning any new language is a time-consuming process, more than 300 hours according to some linguists (语言学家). Rather than memorize passively for a few hours or review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective. 2
Keep things fresh. Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much, and 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. 3
4 Talking with English natives, watching English movies or listening to English music whenever you have a chance can also help you unconsciously do better in pronunciation, speech patterns as well as listening.
Writing exercises are a great way to practice. Take 30 minutes at the end of the class or study to write down what happened during your day. 5 By making a habit of writing, you will find your writing skills improve over time.
A. Speak, watch and listen.
B. It is true that you are gifted in writing.
C. It is not easy to learning a new language well.
D. But with right learning methods, you can get over it.
E. It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper.
F. As little as 30 minutes a day can improve your English skills over time.
