Searching（搜索）on social media platforms has won a rising popularity among young people around the world.To know young people’s search habits in China， TEENS surveyed readers aged 12 to 16 on which social media platform they like to use for searching.
Li Zhouzi， a 14-year-old girl from Shanxi， likes to search on Bilibili.She said that by doing this， she gets information more quickly and easily.When using traditional search ways for some knowledge about physics， she would always lose her way in a sea of knowledge.Instead， videos on Bilibili can offer better explanations that are often clearer than those she can find anywhere else.
Hu Tian is a 13-year-old girl from Sichuan.She likes searching for how to do resin-dripping（滴胶） on Xiaohongshu， a lifestyle-sharing app.Being able to connect with real people can also give searchers a strong sense of trust.She can see notes with photos and texts posted by people who also like it.She trusts them more than some reviews from unknown people.
Zhou Yaokai， a 16-year-old boy from Shanghai，is one of them.Like many young people， he searches for lighter topics on social media platforms.When forming his personal opinions on heavier topics， he likes to turn to official websites， such as China Daily.In this way， he can get the information he wants.

17. B Choose a time when we’re all calm（冷静的）.Then， sit down and talk about how we feel and what we need from them.Sometimes we don’t think our parents can understand us at all.This may be true， so we need to tell them how we feel and what’s going on in our life.Then， discuss what we expect（期待） them to do.
Of course， the communication is mutual（相互的）.We can find out why they have these different feelings.18. C We should also reply calmly when they say something that makes us sad.It’s important that we should keep ourselves calm.They’re more likely to listen to us if we don’t shout at them.

Relations （relation） between children and their parents are becoming worse and worse.Maybe you need to find more time to communicate with your parents 26. properly （proper）.Also，you need to try hard to find out a nicer way to get what you want.If you want to stay out late，you should speak out what you want to do and why it is important for you to do so.Then they might just agree with 27. your （you） request（请求）.So if all of us can be peaceful，communication will be easier.
Ⅵ.任务型阅读。
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题或翻译画线部分。
Communication is important for strong family relationships.However， if you don’t truly listen to others， it can be difficult to communicate.Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.
Stay in the present.
When listening to a family member， do not think about other things.Put your phone away and give the speaker your full attention.It’s important to try to stay in the present to make your family member feel heard and valued.Pay attention to what is being said.Make understanding the speaker’s thoughts the most important thing at the moment.
Use body language.
If you want the family member to feel valued， make sure to show that you are listening.You can do it by using body language.Nod as the speaker talks.Smile often.Maintain eye contact.
Do not cut in.
Cutting in can prevent you from communicating effectively.No matter how excited you feel about a subject， do not start talking until the family member has finished.Always allow a few seconds of silence after the speaker finishes talking before offering your reply.This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished， and gives the speaker a chance to fully express himself.
Ask questions.
Part of listening is understanding.If there is anything in the conversation you don’t understand， please ask after the family member finishes.This shows you are truly listening to him and value his thoughts. Ask questions that encourage open discussions.For example， “What do you think of the situation？” Avoid asking “why” questions， which might make the speaker feel uncomfortable.
Follow these tips， listen actively to your family to help communication run smoothly and build strong family relationships.
28.What shouldn’t you do while listening to your family？
We shouldn’t think about other things.
29.What can you do in order to show that you are listening？
We can do it by using body language.
30.What allows you to make sure the speaker has finished？
Always allow a few seconds of silence after the speaker finishes talking before offering your reply.
31.Do you think these tips mentioned above are important？ Why or why not？
Yes， I think so.Because they can help me communicate with my family better.（答案不唯一，言之有理即可）
32.将短文中画线句子翻译成中文。
这表明你真的在倾听他，重视他的想法。

Dear Jordon， I don’t know how to chat with my classmates because we do not share the same interests.We don’t have anything to talk about.I am very lonely.What should I do？ Jenny
Dear Jenny， To make friends， you must first be friendly.You can smile.You can pay your classmates a compliment（称赞）.Say something nice about their dressing styles or skills.Second， ask a question to start chatting.Find out what interests them and talk about that， even if it doesn’t interest you a lot.The conversation is more important than the topic.Finally， talk to more people.Say hello to the people you meet.Don’t be nervous and talk to them.I believe you will do better in the future！ Jordon

Ⅵ.语篇补全。（2024·青岛中考改编）
A.Active listening is focusing on what someone is communicating.
B.This means we don’t pay attention to what someone is expressing.
C.When someone is speaking， their body language is giving information， too.
D.Because most of us live in a busy world， we care about certain things and miss the rest.
E.Although this may seem clear and easy to notice and understand， it is easier said than done.
When we talk， we typically expect others to listen with attention.But when someone else is speaking， are we showing them the same politeness？
Listening well doesn’t come naturally to most people.24. D This also means we often don’t really focus（集中） on what people are saying.One way to listen with more care and attention is to practice active listening.
25. A Active listening is not only hearing someone’s words but also taking notes of their nonverbal（非口头的） communication.Nonverbal communication can include body language， the tone（语气） and their talking speed.By practicing active listening， we can hold onto important information better and show care to others.This useful skill makes others want to discuss things with us.
To get better at active listening， give the speaker your complete attention.26. E Stopping thinking about your phone and clearing your mind of your own thoughts are the first steps.By forgetting those things that could influence you， it’s easier to give your complete attention to the speaker.
Another way to practice active listening is to notice body language.Research shows that 55％ of face-to-face communication is nonverbal， 38％ vocal（嗓音的） and 7％ words.27. C With that in mind， you can give proper replies like nodding， smiling or looking at them politely.
Now do you know how to listen actively？

要求：语句通顺，表达正确；包括以上所有要点，可适当发挥；80词左右。
How I Get On with My Parents
Our parents are the most important people in our lives.We all should get on well with our parents.
In order to get on well with my parents，I often communicate with them and tell them what I like and what I dislike.My parents are often busy with their work，so I often help them with the housework，such as cooking dinner or making the bed.What’s more，I work hard at my subjects and never play computer games.Then they are very satisfied with me.Just as the Master said，“A good child in caring for parents in his daily life shows his real respect.” So do the parents.Respecting each other is the secret of getting on with my parents.
Never give advice unasked.别人不求教，切勿先劝告。
Unpleasant advice is a good medicine.忠言逆耳利于行。
A friend in need is a friend indeed.患难见真情。
Keep good men company and you shall be of the number.近朱者赤，近墨者黑。
Birds of a feather flock together.物以类聚，人以群分。

●instead of介词短语，后面必须接宾语，宾语可以是名词、代词、介词短语、动词的-ing形式等。后面常跟名词、代词或动名词，表示“替代……”“不是……而是……”，也可位于句首，用逗号隔开。

Searching（搜索）on social media platforms has won a rising popularity among young people around the world.To know young people’s search habits in China， TEENS surveyed readers aged 12 to 16 on which social media platform they like to use for searching.
Li Zhouzi， a 14-year-old girl from Shanxi， likes to search on Bilibili.She said that by doing this， she gets information more quickly and easily.When using traditional search ways for some knowledge about physics， she would always lose her way in a sea of knowledge.Instead， videos on Bilibili can offer better explanations that are often clearer than those she can find anywhere else.
Hu Tian is a 13-year-old girl from Sichuan.She likes searching for how to do resin-dripping（滴胶） on Xiaohongshu， a lifestyle-sharing app.Being able to connect with real people can also give searchers a strong sense of trust.She can see notes with photos and texts posted by people who also like it.She trusts them more than some reviews from unknown people.
Zhou Yaokai， a 16-year-old boy from Shanghai，is one of them.Like many young people， he searches for lighter topics on social media platforms.When forming his personal opinions on heavier topics， he likes to turn to official websites， such as China Daily.In this way， he can get the information he wants.

If we have recently had a fight with our parents， we should try to calm down first.16. We can go to our own rooms.We can sit outside or go for a walk.Take this time to think about what happens and how we feel about it.This will give us time to deal with（处理） our feelings.
17. Choose a time when we’re all calm（冷静的）.Then， sit down and talk about how we feel and what we need from them.Sometimes we don’t think our parents can understand us at all.This may be true， so we need to tell them how we feel and what’s going on in our life.Then， discuss what we expect（期待） them to do.
Of course， the communication is mutual（相互的）.We can find out why they have these different feelings.18. We should also reply calmly when they say something that makes us sad.It’s important that we should keep ourselves calm.They’re more likely to listen to us if we don’t shout at them.

Ⅵ.任务型阅读。
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题或翻译画线部分。
Communication is important for strong family relationships.However， if you don’t truly listen to others， it can be difficult to communicate.Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.
Stay in the present.
When listening to a family member， do not think about other things.Put your phone away and give the speaker your full attention.It’s important to try to stay in the present to make your family member feel heard and valued.Pay attention to what is being said.Make understanding the speaker’s thoughts the most important thing at the moment.
Use body language.
If you want the family member to feel valued， make sure to show that you are listening.You can do it by using body language.Nod as the speaker talks.Smile often.Maintain eye contact.
Do not cut in.
Cutting in can prevent you from communicating effectively.No matter how excited you feel about a subject， do not start talking until the family member has finished.Always allow a few seconds of silence after the speaker finishes talking before offering your reply.This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished， and gives the speaker a chance to fully express himself.
Ask questions.
Part of listening is understanding.If there is anything in the conversation you don’t understand， please ask after the family member finishes.This shows you are truly listening to him and value his thoughts. Ask questions that encourage open discussions.For example， “What do you think of the situation？” Avoid asking “why” questions， which might make the speaker feel uncomfortable.
Follow these tips， listen actively to your family to help communication run smoothly and build strong family relationships.
28.What shouldn’t you do while listening to your family？
29.What can you do in order to show that you are listening？
30.What allows you to make sure the speaker has finished？
31.Do you think these tips mentioned above are important？ Why or why not？
32.将短文中画线句子翻译成中文。

Dear Jordon， I don’t know how to chat with my classmates because we do not share the same interests.We don’t have anything to talk about.I am very lonely.What should I do？ Jenny
Dear Jenny， To make friends， you must first be friendly.You can smile.You can pay your classmates a compliment（称赞）.Say something nice about their dressing styles or skills.Second， ask a question to start chatting.Find out what interests them and talk about that， even if it doesn’t interest you a lot.The conversation is more important than the topic.Finally， talk to more people.Say hello to the people you meet.Don’t be nervous and talk to them.I believe you will do better in the future！ Jordon

Ⅵ.语篇补全。（2024·青岛中考改编）
A.Active listening is focusing on what someone is communicating.
B.This means we don’t pay attention to what someone is expressing.
C.When someone is speaking， their body language is giving information， too.
D.Because most of us live in a busy world， we care about certain things and miss the rest.
E.Although this may seem clear and easy to notice and understand， it is easier said than done.
When we talk， we typically expect others to listen with attention.But when someone else is speaking， are we showing them the same politeness？
Listening well doesn’t come naturally to most people.24. This also means we often don’t really focus（集中） on what people are saying.One way to listen with more care and attention is to practice active listening.
25. Active listening is not only hearing someone’s words but also taking notes of their nonverbal（非口头的） communication.Nonverbal communication can include body language， the tone（语气） and their talking speed.By practicing active listening， we can hold onto important information better and show care to others.This useful skill makes others want to discuss things with us.
To get better at active listening， give the speaker your complete attention.26. Stopping thinking about your phone and clearing your mind of your own thoughts are the first steps.By forgetting those things that could influence you， it’s easier to give your complete attention to the speaker.
Another way to practice active listening is to notice body language.Research shows that 55％ of face-to-face communication is nonverbal， 38％ vocal（嗓音的） and 7％ words.27. With that in mind， you can give proper replies like nodding， smiling or looking at them politely.
Now do you know how to listen actively？
