A．has frightened B．was frightened C．frightened D．had frightened
【答案】B
【详解】考查时态。句意：她害怕打开窗户时玻璃会碎。be frightened that…“对……事情感到害怕”。根据that从句中的would break可知，该句描述的是过去发生的情况，所以用一般过去时态。A和D项的时态不对。而C项中的frighten可作动词，意为“使惊吓”，所以不符合句意。故选B。

Tears of relief and shouts of joy rang out at the San Jose Mine in northern Chile when 33 miners were lifted to freedom, one by one. The men, ranging from 19 to 63 years old, have been buried alive since a cave in the copper and gold mine they were working collapsed on August 5, 2010. It is the longest time anyone has ever survived being trapped underground.
After the collapse, the men found an emergency shelter off one of the mine’s tunnels. The temperature in the dark shelter was around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. For more than two weeks, the miners’ water came from the tanks on their work vehicles. They shared a supply of food that was meant to last for only 48 hours.
The miners were totally isolated until rescue teams made contact with the men on August 22. They sent a note to the surface explaining their situation. Rescuers drilled small holes to reach the cave and sent down supply tubes containing food, water, clothes, medicine, fresh air and other supplies. They also received letters from their families, a television set and games.
Additional collapses slowed down rescue efforts. Finally, a tunnel was built that could fit a 13—foot rescue capsule (救生舱), called the Pheonix. The escape hole measures 28 inches across, a tight fit for the twisting 20 minutes, 2, 041—foot ride. The first miner reached the surface just after midnight on October, 13. The rescue mission was faster than expected, and all 33 men had been brought to safety by late the same day.
The miners were met by family members who were waiting at Camp Hope, a settlement of tents near the mine.
Chile’s president, Sebastian Pinera, cheered at the scene and hugged the miners. “We made a promise never to give up, and we kept it,” he said. After an immediate medical exam, the men were airlifted to the nearest hospital for 48 hours of observation.
41．How long were the rescued miners trapped in the mine
A．About 48 hours. B．About two weeks.
C．One month and a half. D．More than two months.
42．Which of the following doesn’t belong to the rescue work
A．The water from the tanks.
B．Small holes drilled to reach the cave.
C．A tunnel built to fix a rescue capsule.
D．Letters, games and a TV from the surface.
43．What can we learn from the text
A．All miners reached the surface just after midnight on October 13.
B．The loss of the mine collapse.
C．The health condition of the trapped miners.
D．The concern of Chile’s president about the mine collapse.
44．According to the text, the rescued miners ________.
A．received medical examination in a hospital at first
B．could go home immediately they got out of the mine
C．had to stay in a hospital for two days before going home
D．felt relieved to see their family members taken good care of
45．The best title for the text should be ________.
A．Disaster at the Mine B．A Miracle at the Mine
C．Efforts of Great Chileans D．Miserable Life of Chilean Miners

41．细节理解题。根据第一段“The men, ranging from 19 to 63 years old, have been buried alive since a cave in the copper and gold mine they were working collapsed on August 5, 2010. (这些人年龄从19岁到63岁不等，自2010年8月5日他们工作的铜矿和金矿的一个洞穴坍塌以来，他们一直被活埋。)”和第四段“The first miner reached the surface just after midnight on October, 13. The rescue mission was faster than expected, and all 33 men had been brought to safety by late the same day. (10月13日午夜过后，第一名矿工到达了地表。救援任务的速度比预期的要快，当天晚些时候，所有33名男子都已被带到安全地带。)”可知，这些矿工们从2010年8月5日到10月13日午夜过后一直被埋在地下，时间长达两个多月。故选D。
42．细节理解题。根据第二段“For more than two weeks, the miners’ water came from the tanks on their work vehicles.

43．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Chile’s president, Sebastian Pinera, cheered at the scene and hugged the miners. “We made a promise never to give up, and we kept it,” he said. (智利总统塞巴斯蒂安·皮涅拉在现场欢呼并拥抱矿工。他说：“我们做出了永不放弃的承诺，而且我们遵守了。”)”可知，智利总统很关心矿工们的安全和救援工作。故选D。
44．细节理解题。根据最后一段“After an immediate medical exam, the men were airlifted to the nearest hospital for 48 hours of observation. (在立即进行体检后，这些人被空运到最近的医院接受48小时的观察。)”可知，矿工们要在医院待两天之后才能回家。故选C。
45．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tears of relief and shouts of joy rang out at the San Jose Mine in northern Chile when 33 miners were lifted to freedom, one by one. The men, ranging from 19 to 63 years old, have been buried alive since a cave in the copper and gold mine they were working collapsed on August 5, 2010. It is the longest time anyone has ever survived being trapped underground. (当33名矿工一个接一个地重获自由时，智利北部圣何塞煤矿响起了宽慰的泪水和喜悦的呼喊声。这些人年龄从19岁到63岁不等，自2010年8月5日他们工作的铜矿和金矿的一个洞穴坍塌以来，他们一直被活埋。这是有史以来被困井下最长的一次。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述33名矿工在地下被埋2个多月之后被救出来的事情。故选B。
C
Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once. Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new! We’ve been driving while listening to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. But there is
no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has become routine to conduct several IM (即时通讯) conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once.
But what’s the impact of this media consumption And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questions, but the researchers already have some strong opinions.
Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work placed, many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend. Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV, aren’t going to do well in the long run. On the positive side, multitasking students tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and using information. And probably because modern childhood centers around visual (视觉的) rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images.
Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively insure that their teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings — a growing challenge not just because technology offers such a handy option but because many teenagers and college students say over-committed (任务过量的) schedules drives much of their multitasking.
Just as important is for parents and educator to teach kids that it’s valuable, even essential, to occasionally slow down, unplugs and take time to enjoy life beyond the screen.
46．What is the main idea of this passage
A．How is multitasking defined in the information age
B．How do people see new technology and the social change it brings about
C．How does technology change modern family life
D．What’s the impact of multitasking on young people
47．The expression “warp speed” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A．low speed B．high speed
C．steady speed D．too much time alone
48．According to some teenagers and college students, what causes their multitasking
A．Too much tasks and arrangements. B．Too much time alone.
C．Inability to focus. D．Fear of being neglected.
49．According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE
A．Humans have begun to engage in the multitasking behaviors since the information age.
B．Multitasking is a critical skill that students are required to learn at school.
C．Only parents can help their kids to get rid of the multitasking habits.
D．Multitasking may prepare students for the reality of today’s fast-paced work environment.
50．What do educators and psychologist advise parents to do about their multitasking kids
A．To cut off home internet connection.
B．To seek medical treatment.
C．To encourage their kids to have some social life.
D．To help their kids to set personal goals.
【答案】46．D 47．B 48．A 49．D 50．C
【导语】
本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了在当今网络计算机时代，出现了多重任务处理的现象，文章主要讲述了多重任务对于孩子的影响。
46．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“But what’s the impact of this media consumption And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another (但是这种媒体消费的影响是什么呢？这些多重任务设备如何改变孩子的学习、推理和交流方式呢？)”可知，本文主要讲述的是多重任务对孩子的影响，故选D。
47．词句猜测题。根据划线短语“warp speed”的后文内容“when it has become routine to conduct several IM (即时通讯) conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once.(同时进行几次即时通讯对话、看电视和使用电脑已成为惯例)”可知，多重任务处理已经成为了惯例，故此处的“warp speed”与B项“高速发展”意思相近，故选B。
48．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“a growing challenge not just because technology offers such a handy option but because many teenagers and college students say over-committed (任务过量的) schedules drives much of their multitasking.(这是一个越来越大的挑战，不仅仅因为科技提供了如此方便的选择，还因为许多青少年和大学生表示过度任务的日程安排在很大程度上推动了他们的多任务处理)”可知，导致青少年和大学生多重任务处理是因为他们每天太多的任务和安排，故选A。
49．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work placed, many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend.(尽管在谋学方面，多任务处理的孩子可能会为当今快节奏的工作做好更好的准备，但许多科学家对这一趋势感到震惊)”可知，D项“多重任务处理的孩子可以为当今快节奏的工作环境做好准备。”是正确的。故选D。
50．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively insure that their teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings (许多教育工作者和心理学家表示，父母需要积极确保他们的青少年摆脱对屏幕的无法控制的接触，花时间与人在一起接触)”可知，教育工作者和心理学家建议父母应该鼓励孩子摆脱屏幕，多与人接触，有一些社交生活。故选C。
D
How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends, family members or loved ones and discovered that you had completely tuned out to what they were saying How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us
According to research cited by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency.
So why aren’t we better listeners As a society, we may be growing more narcissistic (自我陶醉的). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students. If we, as a culture, are becoming more self-centered, how can we, as individuals, work to become more caring and compassionate communicators
We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations. As Stephen R. Covey wrote in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand but to reply.” A dialogue is an opportunity to learn, to see things from a new perspective, to open your eyes to new information and possibilities. Yet, too often we engage in conversation as if it’s a debate. We speak to hear our own voices — our own pre-existing opinions. In doing so, we tend to space out when spoken to. We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value.
Playwright Wilson Mizner said, “A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.” Listening doesn’t just expand our knowledge on an intellectual level; it enables us to have a more personal, in-depth understanding of our closest friends. Relationships are truly enriched by an equal back-and-forth exchange in communication. When these dynamics become more one-sided, we tend to lose interest and create distance in our friendships, with less trust established, less honesty exchanged.
Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills. Maybe we aren’t as good a listener as we believe. Do we tend to focus too much on ourselves — both in positive and negative ways Do we get distracted by an inner coach, rather than living in the moment and really engaging in what’s being said As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends.
51．What is the author’s purpose in showing the social phenomena in Paragraph 1
A．To show most people are confident about their listening skills.
B．To express his concerns about people’s lack of attention when talking.
C．To introduce the fact that people have low efficiency of listening in life.
D．To provide some information about how people behave in conversation.
52．Why does the author cite the research data from the year 2007
A．To prove college students have become more self-cenfered and narcissistic over time.
B．To show the belief in people’s listening skills is outdated and needs to be updated.
C．To provide an example of how society’s narcissism affects personal relationships.
D．To support the argument that society is becoming more self-centered and narcissistic.
53．Based on the views of Stephen R. Covey and Wilson Mizner, which of the following statements is true
A．People should listen to learn and see things from a new perspective.
B．A good listener is popular but does not necessarily know everything.
C．Most people listen with the intention to understand, not to reply.
D．We should speak to hear our own voices and pre-existing opinions.
54．What does the underline phrase “space out” in Paragraph 4mean
A．Become focused. B．Feel confused.
C．Be absent-minded. D．Remain anxious.
55．Which of the following titles best captures the main idea
A．The Decline of Listening in Modern Society
B．Improving Listening Skills for Better Relationships
C．The Impact of Narcissism on Social Communication
D．Why We Should Listen More and Speak Less
【答案】51．C 52．D 53．A 54．C 55．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要分析了人们为什么不能成为很好的倾听者的原因，并给出了如何正确倾听的建议，指出了倾听对人际关系的重要性。
51．推理判断题。根据第二段“According to research cited by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency.”（根据莱特州立大学引用的研究，虽然大多数人认为他们是好的倾听者，不需要提高他们的倾听技巧，但一般人的倾听效率只有25%左右。）可知，第一段中所展示的社会现象是为了引出在生活中，人们倾听效率较低的这一事实。故选C。
52．推理判断题。根据第三段“As a society, we may be growing more narcissistic (自我陶醉的). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students.”（作为一个社会，我们可能变得越来越自恋。2007年的一项研究发现，大学生的自我中心和自恋倾向有所上升。）可知，作者引用2007年的一个调查数据，是为了支持社会正在变得越来越自我和自恋这一观点。故选D。
53．细节理解题。根据第四段Stephen R. Covey的观点“A dialogue is an opportunity to learn, to see things from a new perspective, to open your eyes to new information and possibilities.”（对话是一个学习的机会，是从一个新的角度看问题，看到新的信息和可能性的机会。）和第五段Wilson Mizner的话“A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.”（一个好的倾听者不仅在任何地方都受欢迎，而且不久之后，他就会知道一些事情。）可知，一个好的倾听者是应该通过倾听，学习到一些知识和信息，从新的角度来看问题的。故选A。
54．词义猜测题。根据第四段“We speak to hear our own voices — our own pre-existing opinions.”（我们说话是为了听到自己的声音——我们自己已有的观点。）和“We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value.”（我们耐心地、礼貌地等着对方把话说完，这样我们才能说一些我们觉得有价值的话。）可知，在对话过程中，我们关注的只是等对方把话说完后，来表达自己的观点，所以在对方讲话时，我们不会很专注倾听，容易心不在焉；结合划线词所在句“In doing so, we tend to space out when spoken to.”（在这样做的时候，当别人对我们说话时，我们往往会space out。）可知，“space out”表示“走神，心不在焉”。故选C。
55．主旨大意题。根据第四段“We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations.”（我们可以从改变我们对对话的态度开始。）和最后一段“Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills.”（感谢的是，我们都
可以提高我们的倾听技巧。）、“As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends.”（当我们学会让内心的声音安静下来时，我们就可以开始向别人敞开心扉，成为更好的倾听者、思考者、爱人和朋友。）以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了如何通过提高倾听技巧来获得更好的人际关系。故选B。
第三部分 写作（满分35分）
第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。
My neighbor Josie was a good cook and college professor. We have been good friends for many years. Each early morning, Josie would invite me to join her in walking and she would make breakfast for me as a reward!
Josie planted a lovely garden. Every flower and vegetable made its debut (首秀) once a year. There were so many kinds that I could not even recognize what was growing, and we had the freshest salads in the neighborhood all summer long!
Each evening, Josie and I would sit in front of the garden. We would have a chat, exchanging our world views as well as funny jokes. However, one evening, Josie was a “no-show”. Then I heard the ambulance and saw her husband and children running outside. Josie suffered a stroke (中风).
Later, when I set eyes on her, she was in a wheelchair, covered in a thick blanket. She looked smaller and older than before. But how she chose to face it made me surprised. During the days when Josie had some strength, her husband wheeled her into the living room, and they watched old movies together. She called it “date time”. And during the most special days when Josie was doing well, her husband took her for a walk outside in her wheelchair. She called it “going on vacation”. Despite the fact that Josie was not expected to make a full recovery, they continued to watch movies and took lots of mini-vacations.
She is grateful for listening to her grandchildren telling stories to her, smelling a summer barbecue, sharing a laugh with her favorite neighbor, and being here for another day. I am thankful for her simple life lesson: Find the positive, and you will find your reason to live.
56．What was Josie like before she suffered a stroke (no more than 10 words)
57．How was Josie’s skill in gardening (no more than 5 words)
58．How can we understand the underlined part in Paragraph 3 (no more than 5 words)
59．What made the author surprised after Josie suffered the stroke (no more than 10 words)
60．How does Josie’s story inspire you Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】
She was active and enthusiastic about life./She was an active and enthusiastic person.
Excellent./Great.
Josie didn’t appear./Josie didn’t come.
That Joise chose to face her life positively.
60．We should be positive and always see the bright side of life when things are bad.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的邻居Josie是一个积极的、充满热情的人，喜欢散步，善于烹饪，园艺技术高超，乐于分享和沟通，一次中风后Josie再也无法完全恢复了，但是她依旧抱有热情，乐观地对待生活，作者从她身上学到了很多。
56．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Each early morning, Josie would invite me to join her in walking and she would make breakfast for me as a reward!（每天清晨，Josie都会邀请我和她一起散步，她会为我做早餐作为奖励！）”、第二段中“Josie planted a lovely garden.（Josie种了一个漂亮的花园。）”和第三段中“We would have a chat, exchanging our world views as well as funny jokes.（我们会聊天，交流我们的世界观以及有趣的笑话。）”可知，中风以前的Josie喜欢散步，善于烹饪，园艺技术高超，乐于分享和沟通。由此推知，她对生活的态度是积极的、富有热情的，或者说她是个积极而富有热情的人。故答案为She was active and enthusiastic about life./She was an active and enthusiastic person.。
57．推理判断题。根据第二段“Josie planted a lovely garden. Every flower and vegetable made its debut (首秀) once a year. There were so many kinds that I could not even recognize what was growing, and we had the freshest salads in the neighborhood all summer long!（Josie种了一个漂亮的花园。每一种花和蔬菜每年都有一次首次亮相。蔬菜的种类太多了，我甚至都不知道是什么在长。整个夏天，我们吃的沙拉都是附近最新鲜的！）”可知，Josie
的花园非常美丽，鲜花和蔬菜种类丰富，非常新鲜。由此推知，她的园艺技术非常棒。故答案为Excellent./Great.。
58．词句猜测题。根据画线句下文“Then I heard the ambulance and saw her husband and children running outside. Josie suffered a stroke (中风).（然后我听到救护车的声音，看到她的丈夫和孩子们跑到外面。Josie中风了。）”可知，那一晚Josie中风了，被送去抢救，所以没有出现。故答案为Josie didn’t appear./Josie didn’t come.。
59．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Despite the fact that Josie was not expected to make a full recovery, they continued to watch movies and took lots of mini-vacations.（尽管Josie预计不会完全康复，但他们继续看电影，并度过了许多迷你假期。）”可知，面对生活的不幸，Josie并没有悲观失望，而是积极地面对，用热情、充满希望的方式去度过生活。由此推知，令作者感到惊讶的是Josie选择积极地面对生活。故答案为That Joise chose to face her life positively.。
60．推理判断题。通读全文可知，Josie是一个积极的、充满热情的人，喜欢散步，善于烹饪，园艺技术高超，乐于分享和沟通，即使是中风后Josie再也无法完全恢复了，她依旧抱有热情，乐观地对待生活。她这样积极对待生活的态度，和面对不顺依旧乐观的精神启发着读者。故答案为We should be positive and always see the bright side of life when things are bad.。

It was never a question whether or not my mother loved me. However, I’m not 16 about my father’s love. There are 17 of us laughing together, with me in diapers(尿不湿).

I was in terror 25 of showing up at home with different pants. All afternoon I planned how I would enter the house and run to my room 26 my father even noticed I was there. I rehearsed(默默练习) again and again 27 I had in mind that would allow me to 28 my father’s anger.

Then my father did something very kind but 31 . He reached out for me and gently patted my head; he took the 32 pants and put them in the laundry and said it was Okay. And that was it! As I remember that moment, I want to scream through the hallway of 33 : “That’s it! Look!

Tears of relief and shouts of joy rang out at the San Jose Mine in northern Chile when 33 miners were lifted to freedom, one by one. The men, ranging from 19 to 63 years old, have been buried alive since a cave in the copper and gold mine they were working collapsed on August 5, 2010. It is the longest time anyone has ever survived being trapped underground.
After the collapse, the men found an emergency shelter off one of the mine’s tunnels. The temperature in the dark shelter was around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. For more than two weeks, the miners’ water came from the tanks on their work vehicles. They shared a supply of food that was meant to last for only 48 hours.
The miners were totally isolated until rescue teams made contact with the men on August 22. They sent a note to the surface explaining their situation. Rescuers drilled small holes to reach the cave and sent down supply tubes containing food, water, clothes, medicine, fresh air and other supplies. They also received letters from their families, a television set and games.
Additional collapses slowed down rescue efforts. Finally, a tunnel was built that could fit a 13—foot rescue
capsule (救生舱), called the Pheonix. The escape hole measures 28 inches across, a tight fit for the twisting 20 minutes, 2, 041—foot ride. The first miner reached the surface just after midnight on October, 13. The rescue mission was faster than expected, and all 33 men had been brought to safety by late the same day.
The miners were met by family members who were waiting at Camp Hope, a settlement of tents near the mine. Chile’s president, Sebastian Pinera, cheered at the scene and hugged the miners. “We made a promise never to give up, and we kept it,” he said. After an immediate medical exam, the men were airlifted to the nearest hospital for 48 hours of observation.

Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once. Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new! We’ve been driving while listening to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s. But there is no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has become routine to conduct several IM (即时通讯) conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once.
But what’s the impact of this media consumption And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questions, but the researchers already have some strong opinions.
Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work placed, many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend. Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV, aren’t going to do well in the long run. On the positive side, multitasking students tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and using information. And probably because modern childhood centers around visual (视觉的) rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images.
Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively insure that their teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings — a growing challenge not just because technology offers such a handy option but because many teenagers and college students say over-committed (任务过量的) schedules drives much of their multitasking.
Just as important is for parents and educator to teach kids that it’s valuable, even essential, to occasionally slow down, unplugs and take time to enjoy life beyond the screen.

47．The expression “warp speed” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A．low speed B．high speed
C．steady speed D．too much time alone
48．According to some teenagers and college students, what causes their multitasking
A．Too much tasks and arrangements. B．Too much time alone.
C．Inability to focus. D．Fear of being neglected.
49．According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE
A．Humans have begun to engage in the multitasking behaviors since the information age.
B．Multitasking is a critical skill that students are required to learn at school.
C．Only parents can help their kids to get rid of the multitasking habits.
D．Multitasking may prepare students for the reality of today’s fast-paced work environment.

How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends, family members or loved ones and discovered that you had completely tuned out to what they were saying How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us
According to research cited by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency.
So why aren’t we better listeners As a society, we may be growing more narcissistic (自我陶醉的). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students. If we, as a culture, are becoming more self-centered, how can we, as individuals, work to become more caring and compassionate communicators
We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations. As Stephen R. Covey wrote in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand but to reply.” A dialogue is an opportunity to learn, to see things from a new perspective, to open your eyes to new information and possibilities. Yet, too often we engage in conversation as if it’s a debate. We speak to hear our own voices — our own pre-existing opinions. In doing so, we tend to space out when spoken to. We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value.
Playwright Wilson Mizner said, “A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.” Listening doesn’t just expand our knowledge on an intellectual level; it enables us to have a more personal, in-depth understanding of our closest friends. Relationships are truly enriched by an equal back-and-forth
exchange in communication. When these dynamics become more one-sided, we tend to lose interest and create distance in our friendships, with less trust established, less honesty exchanged.
Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills. Maybe we aren’t as good a listener as we believe. Do we tend to focus too much on ourselves — both in positive and negative ways Do we get distracted by an inner coach, rather than living in the moment and really engaging in what’s being said As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends.
51．What is the author’s purpose in showing the social phenomena in Paragraph 1
A．To show most people are confident about their listening skills.
B．To express his concerns about people’s lack of attention when talking.
C．To introduce the fact that people have low efficiency of listening in life.
D．To provide some information about how people behave in conversation.
52．Why does the author cite the research data from the year 2007
A．To prove college students have become more self-cenfered and narcissistic over time.
B．To show the belief in people’s listening skills is outdated and needs to be updated.
C．To provide an example of how society’s narcissism affects personal relationships.
D．To support the argument that society is becoming more self-centered and narcissistic.
53．Based on the views of Stephen R. Covey and Wilson Mizner, which of the following statements is true
A．People should listen to learn and see things from a new perspective.
B．A good listener is popular but does not necessarily know everything.
C．Most people listen with the intention to understand, not to reply.
D．We should speak to hear our own voices and pre-existing opinions.
54．What does the underline phrase “space out” in Paragraph 4mean
A．Become focused. B．Feel confused.
C．Be absent-minded. D．Remain anxious.
55．Which of the following titles best captures the main idea
A．The Decline of Listening in Modern Society

My neighbor Josie was a good cook and college professor. We have been good friends for many years. Each early morning, Josie would invite me to join her in walking and she would make breakfast for me as a reward!
Josie planted a lovely garden. Every flower and vegetable made its debut (首秀) once a year. There were so many kinds that I could not even recognize what was growing, and we had the freshest salads in the neighborhood all summer long!
Each evening, Josie and I would sit in front of the garden. We would have a chat, exchanging our world views as well as funny jokes. However, one evening, Josie was a “no-show”. Then I heard the ambulance and saw her husband and children running outside. Josie suffered a stroke (中风).
Later, when I set eyes on her, she was in a wheelchair, covered in a thick blanket. She looked smaller and older than before. But how she chose to face it made me surprised. During the days when Josie had some strength, her husband wheeled her into the living room, and they watched old movies together. She called it “date time”. And during the most special days when Josie was doing well, her husband took her for a walk outside in her wheelchair. She called it “going on vacation”. Despite the fact that Josie was not expected to make a full recovery, they continued to watch movies and took lots of mini-vacations.
She is grateful for listening to her grandchildren telling stories to her, smelling a summer barbecue, sharing a laugh with her favorite neighbor, and being here for another day. I am thankful for her simple life lesson: Find the positive, and you will find your reason to live.
