A. at will B. at random C. at intervals D. at odds 【答案】C 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查固定短语辨析。句意：艺术家们在民间艺术节上表演了南通特色的歌舞，不时 地赢得阵阵掌声。A. at will 任意地；随意地；B. at random 随机的；C. at intervals 间 或；不时；D. at odds 有分歧；不一致。根据句意，表演不时地赢得掌声。故选 C。 11.It was in the Lake District, a tourist attraction in England________they met each other and became fast friends. A. where B. which C. when D. that 【答案】D 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查强调句。句意：就是在湖区——英格兰一处旅游胜地——他们遇到了彼此并成 为了朋友。分析句子结构可知，这里并非 England 或 Lake District 作先行词的定语从句， 而是符合 it is/was…that/who 结构的强调句。强调的是介词短语。故选 D 项。 【点睛】强调句与状语从句、定语从句等其他句型是比较容易混淆的，这里有一个重要的区 分方法：区别强调句式与其他句子的关键是看去掉 It is/was … that/who…后是否影响句子 的结构与意义。如果去掉该结构不影响句子的完整性就是强调句。该小题中如果去掉 It was…that 后句子就变为 They met each other and became fast friends in the Lake District （省略插入语），显然结构与意义都是完整的，确实为强调句。 12.Visitors who have booked tickets online can show their ID cards or other_______documents to enter the museum.

These ruins mark the start of the 4-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, one of the world's most rewarding hikes. A quicker way to reach the remote Inca city is catching the train to the riverside town of Aguas and then jumping on a bus into the misty mountains. Once the clouds rise from the mountain ridge above the Sacred Valley, the true splendor of Machu Picchu is finally revealed. It's a humbling experience to stand at an altitude of nearly 8,000 feet, and gaze down at the Inca city below. Overlooking the glorious ruins, it's easy to imagine the prosperity (紧荣) this peak must have been almost 600 years ago. It's one of the world's greatest mysteries what became of the Incas who inhabited Machu Picchu.What was once major defense works in the largest empire on Earth was slowly swallowed by the jungle, only to be uncovered a century ago. The Inca dynasty has come and gone, but Incan families still survive in the highlands. These modern-day Children of the Sun still speak Quechua and continue to live off the land, although many come to Cusco to sell their crops and woolen textiles. After dusk, when the story of the Incas becomes a whisper in the night, Cusco is covered under a starry blanket. A landscape so gorgeous that it deserves to be preserved - 15 - for ever. 36. The attraction of Machu Picchu lies in_____. A. its towering staircases B. its changeable weather C. its natural scenery and culture D. its wilderness and inaccessibility 37. We can learn from the passage that_______ A. the Incas like to stay up chatting B. Machu Picchu is a military base C. the Quechua language is lost to the world D. what happened to the Incas remains unknown 【答案】36. C 37. D 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了马丘比丘和库斯科两处位于秘鲁的世界知名遗址，人们可以在 这里探寻印加古城的遗迹。 【36 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 Once the clouds rise from the mountain ridge above the Sacred Valley, the true splendor of Machu Picchu is finally revealed. It's a humbling experience to stand at an altitude of nearly 8,000 feet, and gaze down at the Inca city below. Overlooking the glorious ruins, it's easy to imagine the prosperity (紧 荣) this peak must have been almost 600 years ago.（当乌云从神圣山谷上方的山脊升 起时，马丘比丘真正的壮丽终于显露出来了。站在近 8000 英尺的高空俯视印加城是一种令人 谦卑的体验。俯瞰着辉煌的废墟，很容易想象 600 年前的繁荣景象。）由此推断出，马丘比丘 的魅力在于它的自然风光和文化。故选 C 项。 【37 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“It's one of the world's greatest mysteries what became of the Incas who inhabited Machu Picchu.”可知，居住在马丘比丘的印加人后来怎么样 了，一直是世界一大未解之谜。故选 D 项。 - 16 - B In their book, Nine Lies About Work, Buckingham and Goodall make a surprising claim: they argue that giving people feedback (反馈)－in the sense of telling them what you think they're doing right or wrong, and how to do it better-is never worthwhile. This runs counter to a current corporate trend for "radical candour", for example at Netflix where, according to recent reports, employees' failings are cruelly "sunshined" in front of others. When someone is fired, hundreds of their former colleagues might receive an email, cataloguing their flaws (缺陷). But it also contradicts an assumption most of us bring to our lives as parents and friends-that it's helpful, at least sometimes, and providing you do it nicely, to explain to people where they're making mistakes. Buckingham and Goodall don't just claim you should keep that knowledge to yourself: they claim that you don't possess it, and that, in fact, you probably don't know how a failing employee could most effectively change. It's an old cliche (陈词滥调) of marital advice that you should use "I-statements"rather than" you-statements", telling the other person how their behaviour makes you feel, rather than attacking them for being selfish and incompetent. The standard theory is that you-statements cause people to respond defensively. But another is that you're a terrible judge of whether someone is selfish or incompetent. As Buckingham writes: "The only area in which humans are an unimpeachable (无懈可击的) source of truth is that of their own feelings and experiences." Plenty of research shows we're particularly bad at rating people against abstract criteria, which means one common feature of workplace performance reviews- assessing whether an employee is, say, a strategic thinker or team player-is essentially pointless.We should replace this sort of judgment with "reactions". Don't tell others what you think of their skills, or how good you think they are; instead, focus on describing your experience of their work. You're no good at judging how someone else should change their approach to delivering presentations. But you're the authority on whether a given presentation was persuasive or boring to you. And positive reactions, they show, work better than negative ones: we excel "when - 17 - people who know us and care about us tell us what they experience and what they feel, and in particular when they see something within us that really works". There's a deep point here- that the best kind of praise focuses on how someone made you feel, not on evaluating their talent. Praise them for inspiring you, persuading you, or helping you grasp a complex issue. You really are the only objective judge of that. 38. The underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 refers to"_______”. A. giving people feedback B. cataloguing colleagues' flaws C. contradicting parents’ assumption D. keeping that knowledge to yourself 39. Feedback is never worthwhile in that_________. A. people tend to defend it B. it is based on theory and truth C. it is subjective and lacks uniqueness D. people will effectively change themselves 40. Which of the following is the most appropriate to comment on others? A. "You have done a good job in the mid-term exams." B. "I am inspired by the creative ideas in your presentation. C. "You just think of yourself,but never care about others." D. "I'm sorry to say you have failed to meet my expectations." 【答案】38. A 39. C 40. B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。Buckingham 和 Goodall 在他们的书 Nine Lies About Work 中提出：从告诉 他们你认为他们做的是对是错的意义上讲，人们的反馈是没有价值的。这与当前“激进坦率” 的共同趋势背道而驰。 【38 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据下划线单词后的 to explain to people where they're making mistakes 可知，向人们解释他们在哪里犯错。因此 it 指代的是向人们解释他们在哪里犯错；根据第一 段 they argue that giving people feedback (反馈)－in the sense of telling them what you think they're doing right or wrong, and how to do it better-is never worthwhile. - 18 - 可知，他们认为，从告诉他们你认为他们做的是对是错的意义上讲，人们的反馈是没有价值 的。因此，向人们解释他们在哪里犯错是在做反馈。所以，it 指代的是给人们反馈。故选 A。 【39 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 Buckingham and Goodall don't just claim you should keep that knowledge to yourself: they claim that you don't possess it, and that, in fact, you probably don't know how a failing employee could most effectively change.可知， Buckingham 和 Goodall 不是只认为你应该对这些内容保密，他们认为你并不拥有这些内容。 事实上，你可能不知道一个失败的员工如何才能最有效地改变。由此可知，他们认为反馈是 主观的，只是说话者自己的观点；根据第三段 Plenty of research shows we're particularly bad at rating people against abstract criteria, which means one common feature of workplace performance reviews- assessing whether an employee is, say, a strategic thinker or team player-is essentially pointless 可知，大量研究显示，我们特别不擅长 用抽象的标准来评价人，这就意味着，本质上，评估员工是否是战略思考者或团队成员，这 样的具有共性的工作场所绩效评估都有是毫无意义的。由此由此可知，反馈是相同的，缺乏 独特性。所以，反馈没有价值是因为它是主观的，缺乏独特性。故选 C。 【40 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 There's a deep point here- that the best kind of praise focuses on how someone made you feel, not on evaluating their talent. Praise them for inspiring you, persuading you, or helping you grasp a complex issue.可知，有一个很重要的点： 最好的赞美专注于某人给你的感觉上，而不是评价他们的才能。赞扬他们鼓舞你，说服你， 或帮助你理解了一个复杂的问题。因此，B 选项“你演讲中的创意给了我灵感。”是对别人最 合适的评论。故选 B。 C Birds use vocalizations to attract mates, defend territories, and recognize fellow members of their species. But while we know a lot about how variations in vocalizations play out between populations of songbirds, it's far less clear how this variation affects birds such as penguins in which calls are inherited (遗传). A new study from The Auk: Ornithological Advances examines differences in the calls of Little Penguins from four colonies in Australia-night-time birds for whom vocalizations are more important than visual signals-and finds that differences in - 19 - habitat, rather than geographic isolation (隔离) or other factors, seem to be the key driver of variation in the sounds these birds use to communicate. Diane Colombelli-Negrel and Rachel Smale of Australia's Flinders University recorded calls from four Little Penguin populations across a small area of South Australia, one of which had previously been shown to have slight genetic differences from the other three, and used playback experiments to test penguins ability to distinguish between calls from different colonies.They found that agonistic calls, which are used in pair displays and aggressive situations, varied among the four populations, and that the calls' characteristics appeared to depend on small-scale differences in the habitat where the penguins lived. However, birds did not discriminate between calls originating from different colonies, which suggests that agonistic calls don't seem to play a role in isolating the two different genetic groups. Penguins living in open habitats produced lower-frequency calls than those living in habitats with thicker vegetation-the opposite of the trend typically observed in songbirds. The authors think that agonistic calls may be subject to different selective pressures because they're used in close encounters with other birds rather than to communicate across distances, and could also be influenced by variation in the noise level of wind and surf. “I was excited to find that in seabirds, as most of our knowledge in this area comes from studies on songbirds," says Colombelli-Negrel. "This new research suggests that many factors influence call variation in birds, which also depends on the function - 20 - of the calls. This study highlights that many questions remain and that studies need to investigate more than one factor in conjunction with the function of the calls to fully understand call variation in seabirds.” “This work tells an interesting story of vocal diversification in Little Penguins, and gives insight into how individual and micro-scale variation effects behavior," according to Stony Brook University's Heather Lynch, an expert on penguin calls who was not involved in the study. "Non-vocal-learning birds are relatively understudied in terms of vocalizations, and it is great to see penguin vocalizations being studied in such a way." 41. What does the new study find? A. Penguins are born with their calls. B. Penguins communicate by various calls. C. Penguins' calls are influenced by their habitat. D. Penguins' calls can help isolate genetic groups. 42. What are the findings based on? A. The test of penguins' responses to recorded calls. B. The data collected from penguins across Australia. C. Controlled experiments on penguins and songbirds. D. Similarities between the calls of penguins and songbirds. 43. From the passage we can learn that . A. open-space songbirds tend to lower their calls B. environmental noises may affect penguins' calls C. birds use agonistic calls in distant communication D. songbirds' agonistic calls vary little between species 44. We can infer from Colombelli-Negrel's words that researchers . A. will keep track of penguins to preserve them B. have investigated a lot in penguins' calls before C. will have a broader look at differences in penguins' calls D. have determined the function of various calls in penguins 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. B 44. C - 21 - 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。讲述了一项关于企鹅的新的研究：企鹅叫声的差异源自其栖息地的不同， 而不是地理隔离或其他因素，同时说明了这个研究中仍然还有问题存在。 【41 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段 A new study from The Auk: Ornithological Advances examines differences in the calls of Little Penguins from four colonies in Australia-night-time birds for whom vocalizations are more important than visual signals-and finds that differences in habitat, rather than geographic isolation (隔离) or other factors, seem to be the key driver of variation in the sounds these birds use to communicate. 一项新的研究：澳大利亚鸟类学发展中心研究了来自澳大利亚四个殖民地的小企鹅叫声的差 异——对于这些夜间鸟类来说，发声比视觉信号更重要——发现差异在于栖息地，而不是地 理隔离或其他因素，似乎是这些鸟类用来交流的声音变化的关键驱动力。可以得出企鹅的叫 声受到它们栖息地的影响，选项 C 符合题意。故选 C 项。 【42 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 Diane Colombelli-Negrel and Rachel Smale of Australia's Flinders University recorded calls from four Little Penguin populations across a small area of South Australia, one of which had previously been shown to have slight genetic differences from the other three, and used playback experiments to test penguins ability to distinguish between calls from different colonies.来自澳大利亚福林德斯 大学的 Diane Colombelli-Negrel 和 Rachel Smale 记录了来自南澳大利亚一个小区域的四 个小企鹅种群的叫声，其中一个种群与其他三个种群有轻微的基因差异，并通过回放实验测 试企鹅区分来自不同群体的叫声的能力。 可以得出，为了证明研究结论，研究人员是通过检 测企鹅对录制的声音进行测试的。所以选项 A 符合题意。故选 A 项。 【43 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 Penguins living in open habitats produced lower-frequency calls than those living in habitats with thicker vegetation-the opposite of the trend typically observed in songbirds. The authors think that agonistic calls may be subject to different selective pressures because they're used in close encounters with other birds rather than to communicate across distances, and could also be influenced by variation in the noise level of wind and surf.生活在开放栖息地的企鹅比生活在植被 - 22 - 较厚的栖息地的企鹅发出的叫声频率更低，这与通常在鸣鸟身上观察到的趋势相反。作者认 为，竞争性叫声可能受到不同的选择压力，因为它们用于与其他鸟类的近距离接触，而不是 跨越距离进行交流，还可能受到风浪噪音水平变化的影响。可以看出，不同栖息地企鹅的叫 声频率不一样，可能受到风浪噪音水平变化的影响。因而，环境因素对企鹅的声音会有一定 的影响。选项 B 符合题意。故选 B 项。 【44 题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段 “I was excited to find that in seabirds, as most of our knowledge in this area comes from studies on songbirds," says Colombelli-Negrel. "This new research suggests that many factors influence call variation in birds, which also depends on the function of the calls. This study highlights that many questions remain and that studies need to investigate more than one factor in conjunction with the function of the calls to fully understand call variation in seabirds. Colombelli-Negrel 说：“我很兴奋地发现，在海鸟身上，我们在这一领域的大部分知识来自 于对鸣禽的研究。 这项新的研究表明，许多因素影响鸟类的叫声变化，这也取决于叫声的功 能。 这项研究强调了许多问题仍然存在，研究需要调查一个以上的因素，结合呼叫的功能， 以充分了解海鸟的呼叫变化。”由此可以看出，研究人员将对企鹅叫声的差异进行更广泛的 研究，选项 C 符合题意。故选 C 项。 D I'm Dina Asher-Smith. Growing in Orpington, southeast London, I love being the hunter. The one in pursuit. In training, I'll latch on to the boys and chase them down. Even when I was younger, I tended to race girls who were older than me-at 17 I was racing 30-year-olds. It's where I'm comfortable. But the hunter can go on to become the hunted. And this year at the World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar, I won gold in the 200m. At 23, I became the first British woman to win a world championship sprinting (短跑) title.The morning after the race, I was in the media tent and was told that I'd been mentioned in the Parliament. Track and field is a mental game.You're in your own little world, competing to be the person who can run the fastest in a straight line. My job is to take my body to a place where I think it can't do any more and then keep going. To do that, I need to know my strengths and weaknesses. People get caught up in embarrassment or shame - 23 - when they're not good at something, but I just don't have that in me. I do have a voice in my head that tells me if I'm not good at things, but it doesn't make me feel negative about myself. I use it to identify where I can improve and then I just keep going to training every day. I've inherited personality traits from my parents that help me in my career. My mum is excitable and when I'm on the track, I have her fire-wanting to go for everything. I always know when I finish a race that I can turn around and find her in the front row, jumping up and down. My dad is more reserved. He has a cool exterior and that's useful for me when I need calmness. I know to look for him a few rows behind my mum. They gave me opportunities to try whatever I was interested in. When I wanted to try golf, my dad bought me cut-down clubs and had me attempting to putt balls (推球入 洞）in the back garden. My mum used to play hockey with me outside the house. They took me to so many clubs and classes. I started training with my coach, John Blackie, in my mid-teens. We met when I was eight as he ran the kids academy at my running club. Along with my parents, the three of them always emphasized that they just wanted me to be happy. They never pushed me too early. And, as I've got older, I've realized that's unique.When running became serious, I knew that if it all stopped being fun for me, I could stop doing it. They put Dina the person before Dina the runner. Yes, the public might be disappointed and the newspapers might have a pop (抨击), but my parents and friends are still going to love me, and my coach is still going to be there. That knowledge allows me to stay relaxed under pressure. Being as prepared as I can be is crucial as it keeps me calm and able to deliver in the moment.When I was studying history at university, I'd choose exams over coursework because I knew I could put the work in and perform under pressure. I was studying heavy things every day, like people facing prejudice because of their skin,or women sacrificing their lives for others to have the right to vote. It made me realize how lucky I am that the thing that gets me most frustrated is somebody beating me on the track.While, yes, I make sacrifices-some easy, such as not drinking and going out, and some harder, like restricting the food that I eat-ultimately, what I do is - 24 - entertainment. Everyone's asking me about Tokyo Olympics, but I'm more focused on today. It's important for me to keep my hopes and dreams separate from other people's. I'm grateful everybody wants me to do well, but my next step has to be for me, not anyone else. 45. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A.

At 23, I became the first British woman to win a world championship sprinting (短跑) title.”可知，作者之前用打猎比喻，表明在训 练中喜欢和男孩子们竞争，同时要和年龄大过她的女运动员竞争，而后面则指明了自己目前 获得的成就，已经是世锦赛的短跑冠军了，显然，划线句“但猎人有一天也会成为猎物”就 指她自己通过努力，追上了那些曾经比自己强的选手。故选 C 项。 【46 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“I do have a voice in my head that tells me if I'm not good at things, but it doesn't make me feel negative about myself. I use it to identify where I can improve and then I just keep going to training every day.” 可知，作者不会为自己有缺点而感到难为情或气馁，而是通过认清自己的弱点，加以锻炼、 改进，从而将其克服。故选 B 项。 【47 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They gave me opportunities to try whatever I was interested in.”可知，作者的父母会给予她一切机会让她尝试任何感兴趣的东西，与 D 选项“帮助她探 索兴趣”含义一致。故选 D 项。 【48 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第三、四句“Along with my parents, the three of them always emphasized that they just wanted me to be happy. They never pushed me too early.” - 26 - 可知，作者的教练和父母始终向作者强调希望她能快乐，结合划线句“他们把 Dina 看作一个 跑步者之前首先看作一个人”，也就是尊重她、爱护她，以她个人的幸福为先。由此判断出 划线句的词表明阿瑟-史密斯的父母和教练把她的个人幸福放在首位。故选 A 项。 【49 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Being as prepared as I can be is crucial as it keeps me calm and able to deliver in the moment.”可知，校园生活让作者能够冷静下来，专 注于此时此刻，这让她能为自己的运动员身份做好准备。故选 C 项。 【50 题详解】 主旨大意题。文章以金牌短跑运动员 Dina Asher-Smith 的口吻，讲述了她的成长历程、心态、 父母和教练、学校生活等，而这些无疑都是使得她能获得今天辉煌成就的原因，A 选项“成为 金牌短跑运动员需要什么”符合文章主旨。故选 A 项。 第四部分 任务型阅读（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注 意：每个空格只填 1 个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 In the course of researching my book, I asked people on five continents, “Who listens to you?” and the response was usually a long, awkward pause. Even those who were married and claimed vast networks of friends struggled to come up with someone who they felt truly listened to them. It's fueling what public health officials are calling a worldwide epidemic of loneliness, which increases the risk of dying young. Indeed, studies link loneliness with heart disease, stroke, dementia and poor immune function. To fight loneliness people are told to “Get out there! Join a club, take up a sport, volunteer, or invite people to dinner.” How do you connect with people once you're “out there” and “face-to-face”? Truly listening to someone is a skill many seem to have forgotten or perhaps never learned in the first place. Listening goes beyond hearing what people say. It's also paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say resonates within you. Listening is not about simply holding your peace while someone else holds forth. Quite the opposite. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond-the degree to - 27 - which you elicit clear expression of another 's thoughts and, in the process, express your own clearly. It starts with an openness and willingness to follow another person's story without presumption or getting sidetracked by what's going on in your own head. Good listeners ask good questions. Everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions. If someone seems dull or uninteresting, it's on you. Good questions don't have a hidden agenda of fixing, saving, advising, convincing or correcting. They don't begin with “Don't you think?”or “Wouldn't you agree…?” and they definitely don't end with "Right?" The idea is to find out more about the speaker's point of view, not to influence it. Also avoid asking appraising questions like “What do you do for a living?” and “What part of town do you live in?” and “Are you married?” These are not honest attempts to get to know people so much as rank them in the social hierarchy. It makes people strongly defensive and is likely to reduce the conversation to a CV recitation. Instead, ask expansive questions such as, “What's the best gift you ever received?” and “If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?” Listening to people in this way is also essential to reaching compromise. You might not agree with them, but you gain understanding about their background and influences. Listening is a skill and, like any skill, it degrades if you don't do it enough. The more people you listen to, the more aspects of humanity you will recognize and the better your judgments. To listen poorly, selectively, or not at all, will stop you from having a better understanding of the world.

Concentrate/ Focus 55. truly/ openly/ willingly 56. explore 57. reluctant/ unwilling/ defensive 58. bridge/ narrow 59. practice 60. limit/ restrict 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了倾听的重要性。今天的人们发现很难找到一个真正的倾听 者，这是对健康有害的，同时建议人们多参加各种各样的社交活动真正地倾听彼此。文章还 说明了如何去倾听，告诉我们倾听是一种需要不断练习的技能，好的听力会提高我们的判断 能力，而不好的听力会限制我们对世界的理解。 【51 题详解】 - 29 - 考查名词。根据第一段中 Even those who were married and claimed vast networks of friends struggled to come up with someone who they felt truly listened to them.可知即使是 那些已婚且自称有大量朋友的人，也很难找到一个真正倾听他们心声的人。由此可知，今天 的人们发现很难找到一个真正的倾听者。根据上文 a true 可知应填单数名词 listener，表示 “倾听者”。故填 listener。 【52 题详解】 考查形容词或比较级。根据第二段中 It's fuelling what public health officials are calling a worldwide epidemic of loneliness, which increases the risk of dying young. 可知这加剧了公共卫生官员所说的全球范围内的孤独流行病，增加了英年早逝的风险。由此 可知，找不到真正的倾听者会增加孤独感，可能会导致过早死亡。表示“早期死亡”或“过 早死亡”短语为 an earlier/early death。故填 earlier/ early。 【53 题详解】 考查动词语态。根据第三段中 To fight loneliness people are told to “Get out there! Join a club, take up a sport, volunteer, or invite people to dinner.”可知为了战 胜孤独，人们被告知“走出去!加入一个俱乐部，参加一项运动，做志愿者，或者邀请别人吃 饭。”由此可知，建议人们积极参与各种社会活动，真正倾听彼此。此处作谓语且表示“参 与”短语为 be involved/engaged in。故填 involved/ engaged。 【54 题详解】 考查动词。根据第四段 Listening goes beyond hearing what people say. It's also paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say resonates within you.可知倾听不仅仅是听别人说什么。也要注意 他们说话的方式，说话时他们做了什么，在什么语境下，以及他们的话如何在你心中产生共 鸣。由此可知，注意力要集中在说话人身上，也要集中在说话的内容上。表示“集中于”短 语为 concentrate/focus on，且此处为祈使句句首动词用原形，要大写。故填 Concentrate/ Focus。 【55 题详解】 考查副词。根据第五段中 It starts with an openness and willingness to follow another person's story without presumption or getting sidetracked by what's going on in your own head.可知它以一种开放的心态和意愿开始，不做任何推测，也不被自己的想法所左右。 由此可知，要真实地/开放地/欣然地跟随别人的故事，不做任何假设，也不分散注意力。此 - 30 - 处修饰动词 Follow 应用副词，且表示“真实地”，“开放地”，“欣然地”副词为 truly/ openly/ willingly。故填 truly/ openly/ willingly。 【56 题详解】 考查动词。根据倒数第四段中 The idea is to find out more about the speaker's point of view, not to influence it.可知这样做是为了更多地了解演讲者的观点，而不是去影响它。 由此可知，问一些好的问题意味着探索说话者的观点。表示“探索”动词为 explore，且根据 上文 mean to do sth.可知应填动词原形。故填 explore。 【57 题详解】 考查形容词。根据倒数第三段中 It makes people strongly defensive and is likely to reduce the conversation to a CV recitation.可知它会使人们产生强烈的防御心理，并有可能将 谈话简化为背诵简历。由此可知，避免问评估性的问题，这会让人们不愿意进行开放和深入 的谈话或产生防御心理。根据上文 make people quite 可知此处应填形容词作宾语补足语， 且 表 示 “ 不 情 愿 的 ”“ 防 御 的 ” 形 容 词 为 reluctant/ unwilling/ defensive 。 故 填 reluctant/ unwilling/ defensive。 【58 题详解】 考查动词。根据倒数第二段中 Listening to people in this way is also essential to reaching compromise. You might not agree with them, but you gain understanding about their background and influences.可知以这种方式倾听他人也是达成妥协的必要条件。你 可能不同意他们的观点，但你可以了解他们的背景和影响。由此可知，通过问一些具有拓展 性的问题可以缩小差距，拉近彼此之间的距离，并找到共同点。表示“缩小差距”短语为 bridge/ narrow gaps 根据上文 Listen to people by asking expansive questions to 可知 此处为不定式作目的状语，故填动词原形。故填 bridge/ narrow。 【59 题详解】 考查名词。根据最后一段中 Listening is a skill and, like any skill, it degrades if you don't do it enough.可知倾听是一种技能，就像其他技能一样，如果你做得不够，它就会退 化。由此可知，倾听是一种需要不断练习的技能。结合上文 constant 为形容词修饰名词，可 知应填不可数名词 practice。故填 practice。 【60 题详解】 考查动词。根据最后一段中 The more people you listen to, the more aspects of humanity you will recognize and the better your judgments. To listen poorly, selectively, or - 31 - not at all, will stop you from having a better understanding of the world.可知你 听的人越多，你就会认识到人性的更多方面，你的判断就会越好。不听，有选择地听，或者 根本不听，都将阻碍你更好地理解这个世界。由此可知，好的倾听会提高我们的判断能力， 而糟糕的倾听会限制我们对世界的理解。此处作谓语表示“限制”应用动词 limit/restrict， 根据上文 will 可知为一般将来时，故填动词原形。故填 limit/ restrict。 第五部分 书面表达（满分 25 分） 61.请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。 Li Jiang: Have you heard this?
