UNIT 1 Knowing me， knowing you
阅读理解
A
（2025·佛山二模）Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time.People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time： “Did they like me or were they just being polite？” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored？”
To find out whether these worries are necessary， we have conducted nearly 10 years of research.In our studies， participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before.Afterward， they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them.This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked.
Time and time again， we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made.That is， people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company — a false belief we call the “liking gap”.
This bias （偏见） may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions， but its effects extend far beyond a first impression.Surprisingly， the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships， including interactions with co-workers， long after the initial conversations have taken place.Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help， less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback， and less willing to work on another project together.
There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings.One place to start is shifting your focus of attention.Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner， be genuinely curious about them， ask them more questions， and really listen to their answers.The more you’re zeroed in on the other person， and the less you’re focused on yourself， the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well.
1.Why did the author carry out 10 years of research？（ ）
A.To dismiss national concerns. B.To check out a potential bias.
C.To enhance human communication. D.To develop harmonious relationships.
2.What is one effect of people’s liking gap？（ ）

C.Bad relationships with people around. D.Low willingness to interact with others.
3.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Restate opinions. B.Deliver warnings.
C.Give suggestions. D.Make a summary.
4.Which might be the best title for the text？（ ）
A.Liking Gap May Influence Work Performances
B.First Impressions Rely on Initial Conversations
C.People Probably Like You More Than You Think
D.How People Like You Matters Less Than You Assume

（2025·盐城模拟）Passive-aggressive （消极抗拒） behaviour can feel “normal” — especially if it’s how we’ve grown up seeing others around us deal with relationship issues.Whether done verbally （言语上） or nonverbally， passive aggression is meant to avoid hurting someone else’s feelings， escape conflict， or show disagreement without being outspoken in it.
It’s a more common way of dealing with things than you might think.But why are we passive-aggressive？ What are the signs we can look out for to recognize being passive-aggressive？ And how does it affect us？
There are many reasons why someone might display passive-aggressive behaviour， including insecurity or fear of losing control， as well as using it as a way to handle feelings of stress， anxiety， or depression.It can also be a way to try to deal with rejection or conflict， because of feelings of under-appreciation， or due to worry that any natural feelings of anger aren’t the right response， and so it becomes an attempt to sugarcoat things.
We almost all exhibit signs of passive aggression from time to time， but when it becomes a habit within our relationships， it can become upsetting for the other person involved， causing a divide.And for the person exhibiting this behaviour， their inability to say what is wrong clearly can often worsen the issue as it isn’t being dealt with directly.Ultimately， passive aggression prevents change and growth， leading to more negative behaviour， the breakdown of trust， and further relationship problems.
Admitting that you have a problem and need to change is not just good for your relationship， but also a huge help in your life.If you’re struggling and aren’t sure where to begin， ask yourself “Could I unintentionally （or intentionally） be hurting my relationship？ Is it worth saving my relationship， or do I want to risk things getting worse？ Would I be happy if my partner acted the way I’ve been acting？”
Change doesn’t happen overnight， but， with time and effort， you can find new， healthier ways of communicating how you are feeling， and start to strengthen the bonds within your relationship.
5.What is the possible passive-aggressive response to displeasure？（ ）
A.Turning to rude languages. B.Displaying violent behavior.
C.Hiding his true inner feelings. D.Coming into conflict with others.
6.What can we learn about passive-aggressive people？（ ）
A.They are sometimes overconfident in themselves.
B.They believe conflicts should be resolved directly.
C.Their passive-aggressive behavior doesn’t last long.
D.Their behaviour likely leads to more negative results.
7.What do the underlined words “the issue” in Paragraph 4 refer to？（ ）
A.The behavior. B.The divide.
C.The inability. D.The habit.
8.What should you do to make a change？（ ）
A.Start with a self-reflection. B.Apologize to the other side.
C.Copy how the partner acts. D.Let time cure everything.
UNIT 1 Knowing me， knowing you
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了什么是“好感认知差距”以及这种心态对人们社交关系的影响。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段内容以及第二段中的To find out whether these worries are necessary， we have conducted nearly 10 years of research.可知，作者进行10年的研究是为了找出潜在的偏见。
2.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，好感认知差距的一个影响是与他人互动的意愿低。
3.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者在最后一段给出建议。
4.C 标题归纳题。本文主要说明了什么是“好感认知差距”以及这种心态对人们社交关系的影响。由此可知，C项（人们可能比你想象的更喜欢你）适合作文章最佳标题。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了消极抗拒这种人际交往中的新现象，分析其产生的原因及其可能造成的其他后果并提出了有效解决它的建议。
5.C 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可知，为避免伤害别人的感情，避免冲突以及间接地表现出分歧，就要隐藏人内心的真实感受。
6.D 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知，消极的抗拒行为是其他负面行为的根源，他们的行为可能会导致更多负面的结果。
7.B 词义猜测题。根据第四段前两句可知，the issue这里指代的不是behavior，因为这里的behavior指代的是passive aggression，则issue应该指代的是上句中的divide （分歧），说明“让对方感到不安从而造成的分歧”带来了很多负面的结果，这通过本段最后一句由passive aggression造成的后果可以得到印证。
8.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，作者认为从自我反省开始才能作出改变。

（2025·佛山二模）Initial conversations can have a huge impact on
how relationships develop over time.People are often stuck in the
impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish
speaking with someone for the first time： “Did they like me or were
they just being polite？” “Were they deep in thought or deeply
bored？”
To find out whether these worries are necessary， we have conducted
nearly 10 years of research.In our studies， participants in the UK talked
with someone they had never met before.Afterward， they were asked
how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they
believed that their conversation partner liked them.This allowed us to
compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they
were actually liked.
Time and time again， we found that people left their conversations
with negative feelings about the impression they made.That is， people
systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like
them and enjoy their company — a false belief we call the “liking gap”.
This bias （偏见） may seem like something that would occur only
in initial interactions， but its effects extend far beyond a first
impression.Surprisingly， the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of
relationships， including interactions with co-workers， long after the
initial conversations have taken place.Having a larger liking gap is
associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help， less willing
to provide workmates with open and honest feedback， and less willing to
work on another project together.
There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings.One
place to start is shifting your focus of attention.Try to direct your attention
to your conversation partner， be genuinely curious about them， ask
them more questions， and really listen to their answers.The more
you’re zeroed in on the other person， and the less you’re focused on
yourself， the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will
turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well.

（2025·盐城模拟）Passive-aggressive （消极抗拒） behaviour
can feel “normal” — especially if it’s how we’ve grown up seeing
others around us deal with relationship issues.Whether done verbally （言
语上） or nonverbally， passive aggression is meant to avoid hurting
someone else’s feelings， escape conflict， or show disagreement
without being outspoken in it.
It’s a more common way of dealing with things than you might
think.But why are we passive-aggressive？ What are the signs we can
look out for to recognize being passive-aggressive？ And how does it
affect us？
There are many reasons why someone might display passive-
aggressive behaviour， including insecurity or fear of losing control， as
well as using it as a way to handle feelings of stress， anxiety， or
depression.It can also be a way to try to deal with rejection or conflict，
because of feelings of under-appreciation， or due to worry that any
natural feelings of anger aren’t the right response， and so it becomes an
attempt to sugarcoat things.
We almost all exhibit signs of passive aggression from time to time，
but when it becomes a habit within our relationships， it can become
upsetting for the other person involved， causing a divide.And for the
person exhibiting this behaviour， their inability to say what is wrong
clearly can often worsen the issue as it isn’t being dealt with
directly.Ultimately， passive aggression prevents change and growth，
leading to more negative behaviour， the breakdown of trust， and further
relationship problems.
Admitting that you have a problem and need to change is not just
good for your relationship， but also a huge help in your life.If you’re
struggling and aren’t sure where to begin， ask yourself “Could I
unintentionally （or intentionally） be hurting my relationship？ Is it
worth saving my relationship， or do I want to risk things getting worse？
Would I be happy if my partner acted the way I’ve been acting？”
Change doesn’t happen overnight， but， with time and effort，
you can find new， healthier ways of communicating how you are
feeling， and start to strengthen the bonds within your relationship.

5. What is the possible passive-aggressive response to displeasure？
（ ）
A. Turning to rude languages.
B. Displaying violent behavior.
C. Hiding his true inner feelings.
D. Coming into conflict with others.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可知，为避免伤害别人
的感情，避免冲突以及间接地表现出分歧，就要隐藏人内心的真
实感受。
√
6. What can we learn about passive-aggressive people？（ ）
A. They are sometimes overconfident in themselves.
B. They believe conflicts should be resolved directly.
C. Their passive-aggressive behavior doesn’t last long.
D. Their behaviour likely leads to more negative results.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知，消极的抗拒行为
是其他负面行为的根源，他们的行为可能会导致更多负面的结果。
√
7. What do the underlined words “the issue” in Paragraph 4 refer to？
（ ）
A. The behavior. B. The divide.
C. The inability. D. The habit.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据第四段前两句可知，the issue这里指代的
不是behavior，因为这里的behavior指代的是passive aggression，则
issue应该指代的是上句中的divide （分歧），说明“让对方感到不安
从而造成的分歧”带来了很多负面的结果，这通过本段最后一句由
passive aggression造成的后果可以得到印证。
√
8. What should you do to make a change？（ ）
A. Start with a self-reflection.
B. Apologize to the other side.
C. Copy how the partner acts.
D. Let time cure everything.

反省开始才能作出改变。
