When difficult people exptures themeelves orally, they generally want at least two things:they’ve been heard and they’ve been understood.As a good communicator should be a good listener, five steps are advocated toward good listening.
The first step is cooperating(合作).How does a difficult person know that you’re listening and understanding?In fact, it’s through the way you look and sound while he is talking. You may help him to fully express his thoughts and feelings. You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making cartain sounds of understandiey.
When the peron begings to repeat what’s been said, is’s a two:turning that you repeat some words he is using, sending a clear signal the you’ve listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important.
Having heard what he has to say, the next sterp is clarifying.At this point, you start to gather information about whoat is being communicated. Ask same open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy.
The fourth step is to summarize(概括)what you’ve heard.This allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult peson the same page. When you do this, two things happen First, if you’ve twisses shinething, he can fill in the (细节).Second you’ve shown that you’re making an effort to understand cometely. This increases possibility of gaining cooperation from him.
Having listened carefully, you’ve now arrived at the point of confirmning with the person that he feels satisfied that this thoughts have been fully voiced. Ask if he feels understood.

Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or statements. Choose the best answer to each question or decide T/F for each statement. Passage One People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like- Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for him or herself and for invited friends. People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you. Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.

第二篇
As we have seen,the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease一especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors,such as poor eating habits,smoking,and failure to exercise.The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight , but does not eat very nutritious（有营养的）foods , who feels OK but exercises only occasionally , who goes to work every day , but is not an outstanding worker,who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts,but sleeps a lot and often feels tired.This person is not ill.He may not even be at risk for any particular disease.But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely "not ill" and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs.Both types have simply been called "well".In recent years,however,some health specialists have begun to apply the terms "well" and "weilness" only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their body's condition.Most importantly,perhaps,people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health.Even people who have a physical disease or handicap（缺陷）may be "well" ,in this new sense,if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations."Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve,but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes.And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living,the concept of weilness can have a beneficial impact on the way in which people face the challenges of daily life.According to the second paragraph about the traditional care,which statement is true?
A:if the person does not have' any unhealthy living habits,he is considered "well".
B:If the person does not have any psychological disease,he is considererd "well".
C:If the person could be able to handle his daily routines,he is considererd "well".
D:If the nerson could be free from any kind of disease.he is considererd "well".答案：D解析：细节题。根据第一段第一句“…the focus of medical care in our society has been-shifting from curing disease to preventing disease一especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors...”可知，今天医疗保健的焦点已经从疾病治疗转移到疾病预防上来，尤其体现在改变我们不健康的行为上。因此，选项C“改变人们不良的生活习惯”与文章相符。
主旨题。由第一段倒数三句“This person is not ill.He may not even be at risk for any particular disease.But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.”可知，这个人虽然有一些不良习惯和不适的症状，但是没有患病，甚至也没有患病的风险，然而，我们可以想象这个人本来可以更健康。由此可知，选项A“健康不仅仅是没有病”符合文意。
推断题。根据第二段第一、二句“The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely'not ill'and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs.Both types have simply been called 'well'.”可知，传统上，医学界把没病的人和十分健康的人都称作“身体良好的人”。因此，选项D“没病就是身体良好”符合文意。
细节题。根据第二段的倒数第三句“'Weilness' may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve,but as an ideal than people can strive for.”可知，“健康”并不是我们可能获得的一种健康的状态，而是一种我们要努力争取的理念。因此选项B 符合题意。
主旨题。文章第一段提出医疗保健的焦点由疾病治疗转到疾病预防；第二段首先阐述了传统医疗保健观点和现在医疗保健观点对健康的定义，之后依据现在医疗保健观点给健康作出了更积极的定义，可见选项C符合题意。选项A"旨在批判医疗保健的传统观点”是对原文的曲解，原文只是提出新的观点，并没有批驳传统的医疗保健；选项B"旨在对比传统和现在医疗保健观、点的不同”不是本文的写作目的，比较的目的在于强调现在的医疗观；选项D"旨在告诉我们医疗保健的重要性”文中并未提及。 -
第6题：
What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow , orange ,red? If you do ,you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet,shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite clour as we grow up----we are born with our preference.If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
Colours do influence our moods----there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand ,black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainter green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply ;perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
Light and bright colours make people not only hppier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
"They tell us, among other facts,that we don't choose our favourite colours as we grow up." "Among other facts" means______.
a.besides other facts
b.in regard to other facts
c.not considering other facts
d.according to other facts答案：A解析： -

资料：（一）
Insurance is the sharing of risks, Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire, the ship owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea；the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss, In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the money. This is the basis of insurance, Those who pay the contribution are known as “insured”and those who administer the pool of contributions as ”insurers”.
Not all risks can be covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business and speculation cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not of a kind that can be statistically estimated, and risks can only be insured against if they can be so estimated.
The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is a printed form of contract. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a certain sum of money, called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss, if the risk actually happens. The wording of policies, particularly in marine insurance, often seems very old-fashioned, but there is a sound reason of this. Over a large number of years, many law cases have been brought to clear up the meanings of doubtful phrases in policies. The law courts have given these phrases a definite and indisputable meaning, and to avoid future disputes the phrases have continued to be used in polices even when they have passed out of normal use in speech.
According to this passage, insurance is possible because______.A.only a small proportion of the insured suffer loss
B.everyone at some time suffers loss
C.nearly everyone suffers loss
D.only insured people suffer loss答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】 insurance;possible because
【主题句】第1自然段 On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire no every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss.另一方面，不是所有的房子都会被大火烧毁，也不是所有的船只都在海上丢失。如果这些人每人拿出一小笔钱来汇聚成一片汪洋，就会有足够的钱来满足少数的确遭受损失的人的需求，
【解析】本题的问题是“根据文意，保险是可行的，原因是_______”。 A选项“被保险人中只有一小部分真正蒙受损失”；B选项“所有人都有蒙受损失的时候”；C选项“几乎所有人都蒙受损失”；D选项“只有被保险人蒙受损失”。根据题目中关键词找到主题句，主题句中，解释了不是所有人都会遭受损失，只有一小部分人会遭到厄运，因此保险是切实可行的。故A选项正确。 -

问答题Passage 2 Broadly 1 , the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows 2 . In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems inhibited, 3 embarrassed. You have only to witness a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit 4 their newspapers or dozing in a corner: 5 one speaks. Obviously, there is here an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior 6 , if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion. It is a well-known fact that the English have a passion 7 the discussion of their weather and that, given half a chance, they will talk about it at 8 . Some people argue that it is because English weather defies forecast and hence is a source of interest and speculation to everyone. This may be so. Certainly Englishmen cannot have much faith in the 9 , who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved 10 when a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate -- or as inaccurate -- as the weathermen in his predictions. The overseas visitors may be excused for showing surprise at the number of references to weather that the English 11 to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are replaced by comments 12 the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it? Beautiful!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used 13 his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman but is 14 a loss to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe 15 which wills provoke an answer from even the most reserved of Englishmen.正确答案： 1. speaking 空格后面的句子是对英国人的一个整体概括。broadly speaking广义地说,泛泛地说。
2. well 句子前面部分提到英国人安静、害羞,并且保守。由此推知,他们只有在自己熟悉的人面前才会完全放松。空格部分修饰动词knows,因此填入well。
3. even/or 由空格前后的inhibited(拘谨的)与embarrassed(尴尬的,局促不安的)两个词可以看出,它们在意义上是相近的,并且构成一定的递进关系(后者表达的语气比前者强),所以此处填even(甚至)或者or(或者)。
4. reading read newspapers读报纸。注意使用动名词形式reading,接在动词sit的后面。
5. no 句意:面容严肃的商人和妇女坐着读报,或者在角落里打盹:没有人说话。空格处填入no,使得上下文语意连贯。
6. which 分析句子结构,空格后面为定语从句,修饰behavior。因此填入which。
7. for have a passion for sth.“对某事怀有强烈的感情,爱好”,为固定搭配
8. length at length“最后;终于;详细地”,这里指详细地讨论天气。
9. weathermen 此处考查上下文语境。空格后面接who引导定语从句,由此可知,空格处应该填入表示人物的词。又由于下文把“The man in the street”与“the weathermen”进行对比可知,本题空格应该介绍的是the weathermen的情况。weatherman天气预报员;气象员。
10. wrong 空格前面提到天气预报员预报的是晴天,空格后面提到的是下雨天,由此可知,天气预报员的报道有误。此处填wrong。
11. make 分析句子结构,that后面接定语从句修饰references to weather。make references to…参照……,参考……。
12. on comment on sth.评价某物。
13. to to one’s advantage对某人有利。
14.at at a loss困惑,茫然,不知所措。
15. subject/topic 从上文中可知,谈论天气状况是一个安全的话题。因此填入subject或者topic。解析： 暂无解析 -

Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are different.

The Balance between Fluency and Accuracy
To be able to speak English with fluency and accuracy is a goal of many Chinese English learners.Fluency can be simply defined as"being able to communicate ideas without having to stop and think too much about what one is saying";speaking accurately means"speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary".
However,the fact is that many students find that the faster they try to speak,the more mistakes they make.And,when they slow down,there may be fewer errors though it can sound unnatural. So,how to balance accuracy and fluency in spoken English?
It can depend on the manner in which one has studied English in the past.People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes.This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public.As a result,their spoken English might not improve.This means that,although they know English grammar and vocabulary well,they might not be able to hold a good conversation.
On the other hand,there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes.This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly.But,if they make a lot of mistakes,it may make it difficult for them to have their ideas understood.
The debate about which is more important一fluency or accuracy一in the English language has lasted for a long time.Still,one thing is clear:neither of them should be absent if one is to speak a language well.How can we be sure that we can develop both?The following tips could help.
Find the problem.What kind of person are you一one who focuses on accuracy or one who focuses on frequency?The first step is to recognize your problem and go to work on it.Think about situations where you've used English and how you felt about making mistakes?Do you always try some new language even though it might not be correct?Or do you feel embarrassed by mistakes?
Focus on one problem at a time.When you speak English,find the mistakes you make most often.One mistake Chinese often make is omitting the"S"from the third person singular verb.Or you may speak too slowly as if you were searching for the right word and correct grammar. The next time you use English,try to work on those problems you have identified.If it's fluency,try to focus on it.If you have a problem with the third person singular,try to concentrate on when you make such errors.Don't spend time thinking about other mistakes.By choosing an area to work on,you can isolate problems and help yourself overcome them.
Vary your practice.If you go to an English corner or an English club,try to change the types of activities you take part in so that you practice both fluency and accuracy.Public speaking allows you to slow down and be sure you have time to concentrate on the language.Meanwhile,discussions are good practice for fluency,especially if you don't stop each time a mistake is made.
Tell the difference between fluency and speed.Some Chinese think that speaking fast is the same as speaking fluently.In fact,speaking fluently involves not only speed.It also involves stress, pronunciation and intonation. If you make a mistake in these,speaking fast will only make it worse. Don't sacrifice understanding for speed.
Record yourself. Take a tape recorder and record a conversation with a friend or a speech or talk to yourself as you do it naturally!A two-or-three-minute recording is enough.When you've finished,listen to yourself. Can you find out any error and correct it?Make it a regular practice.The more you record yourself,the more confident and natural sounding you will become.Who are likely to feel nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public?
A:Those who focus on fluency.
B:Those who focus on accuracy.
C:Those who speaks fast.
D:Those who record themselves.答案：B解析：本题是细节推理题。题干是：准确性的定义是什么？选择A的依据是第一段最后一句：" speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary”说话不犯语法错误和词汇错误。这与选项A的内容一致。所以选项A是正确答案。
本题是细节理解题。题干是：在“This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly”句中fluidly的意思是什么？（第四段，第二行）。选择A的依据第四段的第一句：" On the other hand , there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes.”另一方面，有一些人真的很喜欢说话，而且就算说错，他们也愿意试着说。这说明该段主要强调注重流利性多于准确性的人，所以依此推理fluidly是“流利的”意思。另外，也可以通过fluid作为名词液体的意思，借助一些名词加“ly”以后变成副词或者形容词这一常识推理出正确答案。所以选A。
本题是细节理解题。题干是：流利性和准确性哪个更重要？选择D的依据是，第五段的前两句：" The debate about which is more important一fluency or accuracy一in the English language has lasted for a long time.Still,one thing is clear:neither of them should be absent if one is to speak a language well.”说英语时流利重要还是准确重要，关于这个问题的辩论持续了很长时间。然而，有一点是明确的，即想要说好一门语言，流利性和准确性都不能少。作者似乎提出在文中提出了和题干一样的题，但后面的回答只是关于二者的必要性，而非就二者之间哪个更重要，所以D是正确答案。
本题是细节理解题。题干是：根据本文，哪个说法是正确的？ 选择D的依据是全文最后一句："The more you record yourself, the more confident and natural sounding you will become.”你自己录音越多，你就越有自信，你的英语听上去会更自然。所以选择与原文同义的选项D。
本题是细节推理题。题干是：在进行公共演讲时，谁会感到紧张、尴尬？选择B的依据是第三段的第二、三句：" People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes.This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public.”那些倾向于注重说话准确性的人可能会发现，他们太过担心犯错误。这可能导致他们在公众场合说英语感到紧张或尴尬。所以，选项B注重说话准确性的人，是正确答案。 -
第20题：
资料：When we see well，we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes，Everything else seems blurry（=unclear）.Many people who do a lot of work，such as writing，reading and sewing become near-sighted.
People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away，but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading，they must get glasses，too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism. This，too，can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now，however，it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself，look at an object out of one eye；Then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
We should take good care of our eyes______.A.even if we can see well
B.only when we cannot see perfectly
C.only when we realize how important our eyes are
D.only when we can see well答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】take good care of；our eyes
【主题句】第1自然段When we see well，we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are. 当我们看东西很清楚的时候，我们不经常想到我们的眼睛。只有当我们无法完美地看到时，我们才意识到我们的眼睛多么重要。
【解析】本题的问题是“我们应该好好保护我们的眼睛________”A选项“即使我们能看得很清楚”；B选项“当我们无法完美地看到时”；C选项“只有当我们意识到我们的眼睛有多重要时”；D选项“只有在我们能够看得出来的时候”。根据主题句分析可知，我们无论何时都要保护好眼睛，不要在看不清的时候才意识到严重性，故A选项符合题意。 -

Bmany foreigners have no desire to learn English.
Cforeign languages may pose a greater problem in the future.
DEnglish-speaking foreigners may have difficulty in understanding English.
正确答案： C解析：
解决这道题需要对文章内容有整体性的了解，通过通读原文可以看到最后一段的倒数第二句“Even in cases where foreign customers can speak English quite well, it is often forgotten that they may not be able to understand it to the required level-bearing in mind the regional and social variation which permeates speech and which can cause major problems of listening comprehension”，无论外国顾客多么熟练地使用英语，在英语理解方面还是会存在一些问题的。这与题干选项D的描述是一致的，因此，该题答案为D。 -
