（2024·郑州高二上学期期末考试）When another person speaks， we’re usually “listening” at one of four levels.We may be ignoring another person， not really listening at all.We may practise pretending.“Yeah.Uh-huh.Right.” We may practise selective listening， hearing only certain parts of the conversation.We often do this when we’re listening to the constant chatter of a preschool child.Or we may even practise attentive listening， paying attention and focusing energy on the words that are being said.But very few of us ever practise the fifth level， the highest form of listening， empathic listening.
When I say empathic listening， I am not referring to the techniques of “active” listening or “reflective” listening， which basically involve mimicking （模仿） what another person says.When I say empathic listening， I mean listening with intent to understand.I mean seeking first to understand， to really understand.It’s an entirely different paradigm.
Empathic （from empathy） listening gets inside another person’s frame of reference.You look out through it， you see the world the way they see the world， you understand their paradigm， you understand how they feel.
Empathy is not sympathy.Sympathy is a form of agreement， a form of judgment.And it is sometimes the more appropriate emotion and response.But people often feed on sympathy.It makes them dependent.The essence （本质） of empathic listening is not that you agree with someone； it’s that you fully， deeply， understand that person， emotionally as well as intellectually.
Empathic listening involves much more than registering， reflecting， or even understanding the words that are munications experts estimate， in fact， that only 10 percent of our communication is represented by the words we say.Another 30 percent is represented by our sounds， and 60 percent by our body language.In empathic listening， you listen with your ears， but you also， and more importantly， listen with your eyes and with your heart.You listen for feeling， for meaning.You listen for behavior.You use your right brain as well as your left.You sense， you intuit， you feel.
4.Which of the following focuses on literal meaning？
A.Pretending listening.
B.Selective listening.
C.Attentive listening.
D.Empathic listening.
5.What should we do to practise empathic listening？
A.Listen carefully and respond actively.
B.Put ourselves in another person’s shoes.
C.Maintain eye contact and show sympathy.
D.Imitate and repeat what another person says.
6.What is the essence of empathic listening？
A.An act of kindness.
B.A feeling of sympathy.
C.An absolute agreement.
D.A thorough understanding.
7.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph？
A.To stress the importance of body language.
B.To tell us language has its limitations indeed.
C.To show empathic listening is comprehensive.
D.To demonstrate the power of empathic listening.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2024·铜仁高二下学期质检）Nonviolent communication is a communication strategy that focuses on honestly expressing your deepest feelings and needs to someone， and being able to empathetically listen to theirs. 8 ：
Observations
Making observations involves describing the objective， factual elements of a situation without any judgment.It focuses on what can be observed rather than assumed or interpreted， which can sometimes be incorrect.Reserving judgment can help prevent defensiveness and gives your partner room to open up to you.
Example
Instead of：“ 9 .” Try saying：“I noticed that during our conversation yesterday， you were looking at your phone and weren’t responding to me.”
Feelings
Identifying and expressing your emotions can help you understand yourself and connect with your partner. 10 .This process involves exploring how your partner’s words and actions affect your feelings.However， it’s important to take ownership of your feelings， rather than attributing them to your partner.
Example
Instead of：“You make me angry when you cancel plans.” Try saying：“I felt sad and disappointed when our plans got canceled because I was really excited to see you.”
Needs
Introspection （反省） can help you understand your deepest needs.Once you’ve identified your needs， it’s important to learn how to express them without blaming or criticizing the other person.
Example
Instead of：“ 11 .” Try saying：“I need more quality time and intimacy （亲密） in our relationship.”
Requests
Making clear， specific， and doable requests allows you to ask your partner for what you need.The key is to orient your requests around what you need instead of making demands or complaining about things you dislike.
Example
Instead of：“You never have time for me.” Try saying：“ 12 ？ I would love to spend some quality time together.”
A.You always ignore me
B.Could you do me a favour
C.You never spend time with me
D.Could we go out this Friday evening
E.Violent communication is very common in our lives
F.Nonviolent communication consists of four components
G.It can help your partner understand your experiences and recognise your needs

1 / 3Section Ⅰ Reading and Thinking
LISTENING TO HOW BODIES TALK
We use both words and body language to express our thoughts① and opinions in our interactions② with other people.We can learn a lot about [1]what people are thinking [2]by watching their body language.Words are important， but [3]the way people stand， hold their arms， and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.
[1]what people are thinking是跟在介词about之后的宾语从句，what在从句中作thinking的宾语。
[2]by watching their body language作方式状语。
[3]people stand， hold their arms， and move their hands是定语从句，修饰先行词the way，此处省略了关系代词that或in which。
Just like spoken language， body language varies③ from culture to culture.The crucial④ thing is [4]using body language in a way that is appropriate⑤ to the culture you are in.For example， [5]making eye contact — looking into someone’s eyes — in some countries is a way to display interest.In other countries， by contrast⑥， eye contact is not always approved⑦ of.For example， in many Middle Eastern countries， men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact.In Japan， it may demonstrate⑧ respect to look down⑨ [6]when talking to an older person.
[4]动词-ing短语using body language ...作表语；that is appropriate to the culture you are in是定语从句，修饰先行词a way， that在从句中作主语；句中的you are in 也是一个定语从句，修饰先行词the culture，关系代词which/that因在从句中作宾语而被省略了。
[5]单个动词-ing短语making eye contact作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
[6]when talking to an older person是状语从句的省略，补充完整应为when they are talking to an older person。
The gesture⑩ for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures.In Japan， someone [7]who witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money.In France， a person [8]encountering an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning zero.However， you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany， as it is not considered polite.
[7]who witnesses another person employing the gesture是who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词someone。
[8]encountering an identical gesture是动词-ing短语作后置定语，修饰a person， a person与encounter之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。动词-ing短语meaning zero作介词as的宾语。
Even the gestures [9]we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world.In many countries， [10]shaking one’s head means “no”， and nodding means “yes”.By comparison ， in Bulgaria and southern Albania， the gestures have the opposite meaning.There are also differences in [11]how we touch each other， how close we stand to someone we are talking to， and how we act when we meet or part.In countries like France and Russia， people may kiss their friends on the cheek when they meet.Elsewhere， people favour [12]shaking hands， bowing from the waist ， or nodding the head when they meet someone else.
[9]we use for “yes” and “no”是省略关系代词which/that的定语从句，修饰先行词the gestures。
[10]动词-ing短语shaking one’s head和nodding都在句中作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
[11]how we touch ...， how close we stand ...， and how we act ...是三个由how引导的并列的宾语从句，连接方式是A，B， and C；其中we are talking to是定语从句，修饰先行词someone；when we meet or part是由when引导的时间状语从句。
[12]shaking hands， bowing from the waist， or nodding the head是三个并列的动词-ing短语作favour的宾语，连接方式是A，B， or C；when they meet someone else是由when引导的时间状语从句。
Some gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere.[13]Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head [14] while closing your eyes means “sleep”.A good way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal.
[13]Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head是两个并列的动词-ing短语作主语，表示同一件事，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
[14]while closing your eyes是省略了you are的状语从句。
Some body language has many different uses.Perhaps the best example is smiling.A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers.A smile can break down barriers .We can use a smile [15] to apologise， to greet someone， to ask for help ， or to start a conversation.Experts suggest [16]smiling at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger.And if we are feeling down or lonely， [17]there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.
[15]to apologise， to greet someone， to ask for help， or to start a conversation是四个并列的目的状语，连接方式是A， B， C， or D。
[16]动词-ing短语smiling at yourself in the mirror作suggest的宾语。
[17]there is nothing better than是比较级用于否定句中表达最高级含义。

【参考译文】
听听肢体是怎么说话的
在与他人的交往中，我们用话语和肢体语言来表达自己的思想和观点。通过观察人们的肢体语言，我们可以洞察他们的想法。话语十分重要，但是人们站立、双手抱臂和移动双手的姿势，也能为我们提供有关他们情感的信息。
不同的文化有着不同的肢体语言，这与口头语言相似。使用肢体语言时，最重要的是要符合你所处的文化。例如，在一些国家，眼神交流（即直视某人的眼睛）是表示兴趣的一种方式。相反，在另一些国家，眼神交流并不总是被认可。例如，在许多中东国家，社交上不允许男性和女性进行眼神交流。在日本，与年长者交谈时，目光下垂表示敬重。
“OK”这个手势在不同的文化中有着不同的含义。在日本，一个人看到另外一个人使用这一手势，可能会认为这表示金钱。在法国，看到同一个手势的人可能会将其解读为“零”。然而，在巴西和德国，你应该避免做出这一手势，因为这是一个被视为不礼貌的手势。
甚至连用于表示肯定和否定的身势语，在世界各地也不尽相同。在许多国家，摇头表示否定，点头表示肯定。相比之下，在保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚南部地区，这两个身势语的含义截然相反。在身体接触方式、站着交谈时双方的距离、见面和告别的动作方面，也有很多差异。在法国、俄罗斯等国，朋友见面时会相互亲吻脸颊。在其他地区，与别人见面时，人们更喜欢握手、鞠躬或点头。
有些手势似乎在任何地方含义都相同。双手合十放在头部的一侧，同时闭上你的眼睛，意为“睡觉”。表示“我吃饱了”的一个好方式，就是在饭后用手在肚子上画圈。
某些肢体语言有着许多不同的用处。也许最佳的例子就是微笑了。微笑可以帮助我们摆脱困境，在陌生的世界里找到朋友。微笑可以打破隔阂。我们可以用微笑来道歉、问候他人、寻求帮助或主动攀谈。专家们建议，我们应该对着镜子微笑，让自己感到更加快乐和坚强。当我们感到沮丧或孤单时，最美好的事情莫过于看到好友的笑脸。

LISTENING TO HOW BODIES TALK
We use both words and body language to express our thoughts① and
opinions in our interactions② with other people.We can learn a lot about
[1]what people are thinking [2]by watching their body language.Words
are important， but [3]the way people stand， hold their arms， and
move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.
[1]what people are thinking是跟在介词about之后的宾语从句，
what在从句中作thinking的宾语。
[2]by watching their body language作方式状语。
[3]people stand， hold their arms， and move their hands是定语从
句，修饰先行词the way，此处省略了关系代词that或in which。
【读文清障】
①thought n.想法；看法；主意
②interaction n.交流；相互影响
interaction with 与……的交流
Just like spoken language， body language varies③ from culture to
culture.The crucial④ thing is [4]using body language in a way that is
appropriate⑤ to the culture you are in.For example， [5]making eye
contact — looking into someone’s eyes — in some countries is a way to
display interest.In other countries， by contrast⑥， eye contact is not
always approved⑦ of.For example， in many Middle Eastern countries，
men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact.In Japan，
it may demonstrate⑧ respect to look down⑨ [6]when talking to an older
person.
[4]动词-ing短语using body language ...作表语；that is appropriate
to the culture you are in是定语从句，修饰先行词a way， that在从句中
作主语；句中的you are in 也是一个定语从句，修饰先行词the
culture，关系代词which/that因在从句中作宾语而被省略了。
[5]单个动词-ing短语making eye contact作主语，谓语动词用第三
人称单数形式。
[6]when talking to an older person是状语从句的省略，补充完整
应为when they are talking to an older person。
③vary vi.（根据情况）变化；改变
vary from ...to ... 由……到……不等
various adj.各种各样的
variety n.多样化
④crucial adj.至关重要的；关键性的
⑤appropriate adj.合适的；恰当的
be appropriate for/to适合……
It is appropriate （for sb） to do sth（某人）做某事是合适的
⑥by contrast 相比之下
⑦approve vi.赞成；同意
vt.批准；通过
approve of 赞成；满意
approval n.赞成
⑧demonstrate vt.表现；表达；说明；证明
⑨look down 俯视，向下看
The gesture⑩ for “OK” has different meanings in different
cultures.In Japan， someone [7]who witnesses another person
employing the gesture might think it means money.In France， a person
[8]encountering an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning
zero.However， you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and
Germany， as it is not considered polite.
[7]who witnesses another person employing the gesture是who引导
的定语从句，修饰先行词someone。
[8]encountering an identical gesture是动词-ing短语作后置定语，
修饰a person， a person与encounter之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。动词-
ing短语meaning zero作介词as的宾语。
⑩gesture n.手势；姿势；姿态
witness vt.当场看到；目击；见证n.目击者；证人
witness sb doing sth 见证某人做某事
employ vt.使用；应用；雇用 employ sb as ...雇用某人当……
employ sb to do sth雇用某人做某事
employee n.雇员 employer n.雇主
identical adj.相同的 be identical to/with与……一样
interpret vt.把……理解（解释）为vi.& vt.口译
interpret ... as ...把……理解为……
Even the gestures [9]we use for “yes” and “no” differ around
the world.In many countries， [10]shaking one’s head means “no”，
and nodding means “yes”.By comparison ， in Bulgaria and southern
Albania， the gestures have the opposite meaning.There are also
differences in [11]how we touch each other， how close we stand to
someone we are talking to， and how we act when we meet or part.In
countries like France and Russia， people may kiss their friends on the
cheek when they meet.Elsewhere， people favour [12]shaking
hands， bowing from the waist ， or nodding the head when they meet
someone else.
[9]we use for “yes” and “no”是省略关系代词which/that的定
语从句，修饰先行词the gestures。
[10]动词-ing短语shaking one’s head和nodding都在句中作主语，
谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
[11]how we touch ...， how close we stand ...， and how we act ...
是三个由how引导的并列的宾语从句，连接方式是A，B， and C；其
中we are talking to是定语从句，修饰先行词someone；when we meet
or part是由when引导的时间状语从句。
[12]shaking hands， bowing from the waist， or nodding the head
是三个并列的动词-ing短语作favour的宾语，连接方式是A，B， or
C；when they meet someone else是由when引导的时间状语从句。
differ vi.相异；不同于
differ from（＝be different from） 与……不同/有区别
differ in 在……方面不同
different adj.不同的
difference n.不同；区别
make a difference 有影响

in favour of 支持；赞同
bow vi.鞠躬；点头
vt.低（头）
bow to sb 向某人鞠躬
waist n.腰；腰部
Some gestures seem to have the same meaning
everywhere.[13]Placing your hands together and resting them on the side
of your head [14] while closing your eyes means “sleep”.A good way
of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your stomach
after a meal.
[13]Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your
head是两个并列的动词-ing短语作主语，表示同一件事，谓语动词用
第三人称单数形式。
[14]while closing your eyes是省略了you are的状语从句。
rest v.（被）支撑；（使）倚靠；托
a way of doing sth 做某事的方法
Some body language has many different uses.Perhaps the best
example is smiling.A smile can help us get through difficult situations
and find friends in a world of strangers.A smile can break down barriers
.We can use a smile [15] to apologise， to greet someone， to ask for
help ， or to start a conversation.Experts suggest [16]smiling at yourself
in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger.And if we are
feeling down or lonely， [17]there is nothing better than seeing the
smiling face of a good friend.
[15]to apologise， to greet someone， to ask for help， or
to start a conversation是四个并列的目的状语，连接方式是A，
B， C， or D。
[16]动词-ing短语smiling at yourself in the mirror作suggest
的宾语。
[17]there is nothing better than是比较级用于否定句中表达
最高级含义。
get through 度过；（设法）做完；完成；通过（测试等）
break down 消除；分解；打破
barrier n.隔阂；障碍
language barrier 语言障碍
ask for help 寻求帮助
feel down 感到沮丧
【参考译文】
听听肢体是怎么说话的
在与他人的交往中，我们用话语和肢体语言来表达自己的思想和
观点。通过观察人们的肢体语言，我们可以洞察他们的想法。话语十
分重要，但是人们站立、双手抱臂和移动双手的姿势，也能为我们提
供有关他们情感的信息。
不同的文化有着不同的肢体语言，这与口头语言相似。使用肢体
语言时，最重要的是要符合你所处的文化。例如，在一些国家，眼神
交流（即直视某人的眼睛）是表示兴趣的一种方式。相反，在另一些
国家，眼神交流并不总是被认可。例如，在许多中东国家，社交上不
允许男性和女性进行眼神交流。在日本，与年长者交谈时，目光下垂
表示敬重。
“OK”这个手势在不同的文化中有着不同的含义。在日本，
一个人看到另外一个人使用这一手势，可能会认为这表示金钱。
在法国，看到同一个手势的人可能会将其解读为“零”。然而，
在巴西和德国，你应该避免做出这一手势，因为这是一个被视为
不礼貌的手势。
甚至连用于表示肯定和否定的身势语，在世界各地也不尽相同。
在许多国家，摇头表示否定，点头表示肯定。相比之下，在保加利亚
和阿尔巴尼亚南部地区，这两个身势语的含义截然相反。在身体接触
方式、站着交谈时双方的距离、见面和告别的动作方面，也有很多差
异。在法国、俄罗斯等国，朋友见面时会相互亲吻脸颊。在其他地
区，与别人见面时，人们更喜欢握手、鞠躬或点头。
有些手势似乎在任何地方含义都相同。双手合十放在头部的一
侧，同时闭上你的眼睛，意为“睡觉”。表示“我吃饱了”的一个好
方式，就是在饭后用手在肚子上画圈。
某些肢体语言有着许多不同的用处。也许最佳的例子就是微
笑了。微笑可以帮助我们摆脱困境，在陌生的世界里找到朋友。
微笑可以打破隔阂。我们可以用微笑来道歉、问候他人、寻求帮
助或主动攀谈。专家们建议，我们应该对着镜子微笑，让自己感
到更加快乐和坚强。当我们感到沮丧或孤单时，最美好的事情莫
过于看到好友的笑脸。

（2024·郑州高二上学期期末考试）When another person speaks，
we’re usually “listening” at one of four levels.We may be ignoring
another person， not really listening at all.We may practise
pretending.“Yeah.Uh-huh.Right.” We may practise selective listening，
hearing only certain parts of the conversation.We often do this when we’re
listening to the constant chatter of a preschool child.Or we may even
practise attentive listening， paying attention and focusing energy on the
words that are being said.But very few of us ever practise the fifth level，
the highest form of listening， empathic listening.
When I say empathic listening， I am not referring to the techniques
of “active” listening or “reflective” listening， which basically
involve mimicking （模仿） what another person says.When I say
empathic listening， I mean listening with intent to understand.I mean
seeking first to understand， to really understand.It’s an entirely different
paradigm.
Empathic （from empathy） listening gets inside another person’s
frame of reference.You look out through it， you see the world the way
they see the world， you understand their paradigm， you understand how
they feel.
Empathy is not sympathy.Sympathy is a form of agreement， a form
of judgment.And it is sometimes the more appropriate emotion and
response.But people often feed on sympathy.It makes them dependent.The
essence （本质） of empathic listening is not that you agree with
someone； it’s that you fully， deeply， understand that person，
emotionally as well as intellectually.
Empathic listening involves much more than registering，
reflecting， or even understanding the words that are munications experts estimate， in fact， that only 10 percent of our communication is represented by the words we say.Another 30 percent is represented by our sounds， and 60 percent by our body language.In empathic listening， you listen with your ears， but you also， and more importantly， listen with your eyes and with your heart.You listen for feeling， for meaning.You listen for behavior.You use your right brain as well as your left.You sense， you intuit， you feel.

倾听模式，其中最高级的是同理心倾听。
4. Which of the following focuses on literal meaning？
A. Pretending listening.
B. Selective listening.
C. Attentive listening.
D. Empathic listening.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，专注倾听虽然表现出了
足够的认真，但是这种倾听却只关注语言本身（字面或表面意
思），也就是说忽略了言外之意以及其他非语言方式传递的信息。
5. What should we do to practise empathic listening？
A. Listen carefully and respond actively.
B. Put ourselves in another person’s shoes.
C. Maintain eye contact and show sympathy.
D. Imitate and repeat what another person says.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二、三段可知，要做到同理心倾
听，我们必须用对方看世界的方式看世界、理解对方的思维模式及
感受，也就是将心比心、换位思考。
6. What is the essence of empathic listening？
A. An act of kindness.
B. A feeling of sympathy.
C. An absolute agreement.
D. A thorough understanding.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，同理心倾听的本质不是
赞同对方，而是彻底、完全、深刻地理解对方。
7. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph？
A. To stress the importance of body language.
B. To tell us language has its limitations indeed.
C. To show empathic listening is comprehensive.
D. To demonstrate the power of empathic listening.
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者强调：同理心倾
听不仅仅是理解对方并对其语言作出反应，也不仅仅是用耳朵去倾
听，而是用眼睛和心灵去倾听，要全身心地去感知对方。也就是
说，同理心倾听是一种全方位的、综合的倾听。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2024·铜仁高二下学期质检）Nonviolent communication is a
communication strategy that focuses on honestly expressing your deepest
feelings and needs to someone， and being able to empathetically listen to
theirs. 8 ：
Making observations involves describing the objective， factual
elements of a situation without any judgment.It focuses on what can be
observed rather than assumed or interpreted， which can sometimes be
incorrect.Reserving judgment can help prevent defensiveness and gives
your partner room to open up to you.
Example
Instead of：“ 9 .” Try saying：“I noticed that during our
conversation yesterday， you were looking at your phone and weren’t
responding to me.”
Observations
Feelings
Identifying and expressing your emotions can help you understand
yourself and connect with your partner. 10 .This process involves
exploring how your partner’s words and actions affect your
feelings.However， it’s important to take ownership of your feelings，
rather than attributing them to your partner.
Instead of：“You make me angry when you cancel plans.” Try
saying：“I felt sad and disappointed when our plans got canceled because
I was really excited to see you.”
Needs
Introspection （反省） can help you understand your deepest
needs.Once you’ve identified your needs， it’s important to learn how to
express them without blaming or criticizing the other person.
Example
Instead of：“ 11 .” Try saying：“I need more quality time and
intimacy （亲密） in our relationship.”
Requests
Making clear， specific， and doable requests allows you to ask your
partner for what you need.The key is to orient your requests around what
you need instead of making demands or complaining about things you
dislike.
Example
Instead of：“You never have time for me.” Try saying：
“ 12 ？ I would love to spend some quality time together.”
A. You always ignore me
B. Could you do me a favour
C. You never spend time with me
D. Could we go out this Friday evening
E. Violent communication is very common in our lives
F. Nonviolent communication consists of four components
G. It can help your partner understand your experiences and recognise your
needs
Example

8. F 本文首段简要介绍了“非暴力沟通”这一概念，下文详细阐述

11. C 根据语境可知，下句I need more quality time and intimacy （亲
密） in our relationship.是对设空处句子的委婉表达方式，故C项符合
语境。
12. D 这里作者不主张我们说You never have time for me.，而是建议
我们采取更委婉、更温和的表达方式，D项符合语境。
