Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
　　When I stumbled on （意外發現） an advertisement for a conference， I couldn’t wait to tell my co-workers.It looked like a great day of presentations highly relevant to our research， and I expected they would be eager to attend with me.However， no one was interested.
　　A year earlier， I left India for the United Kingdom to pursue my research career.At work， I shied away from engaging in discussions or putting forward my opinions.I was afraid my co-workers would realize how weak I really felt.Some mornings， just stepping out of my room and going into the lab seemed a tough task.
　　Socializing didn’t help， as I constantly feared committing social mistakes.I longed for new experiences， but my insecurities stymied （妨礙） me.I started to keep more and more to myself.That began to change after a quiet breakdown in the lab prompted （促使） me to contact the university’s mental health services.The consultant suggested I attend a nearby concert by a famous singer from my home country.I couldn’t miss it.So， there I was in the packed concert hall， surrounded by strangers — all of us clapping and singing the choruses of the familiar songs.It was a beautiful night， and it proved to be a turning point.
　　My growing self-confidence carried over into my work， where I started to speak up and put forward my opinions.I offered to help co-workers design and troubleshoot experiments.I began to ask questions during departmental meetings.I finally felt like an active member of the group.
　　So， when that conference came around， I felt comfortable registering to attend on my own — and I’m so glad I did.Not only did I meet the speakers， but I also introduced myself to other attendees.The encounters inspired me to critically evaluate my own professional interests.
1.How did the author probably feel at first about his co-workers’ response？ （　　）
A.Eager. B.Worried.
C.Disappointed. D.Uninterested.
2.Why did the author contact the mental health services？（　　）

D.He lacked confidence in a new environment.
3.What happened during the concert？（　　）

D.The author connected a song with his research.

A.He went to the conference alone.
B.He turned to experts for advice.
C.He took full charge of the lab.
D.He changed his professional interests.

　　Words are powerful： they have the ability to lift up the lowest of the low or tear down the highest of the high.But a strong argument could be made that our body language is even more influential.The most effective communication occurs when the importance of body language in teaching is acknowledged.When these nonverbal signals are working together with our verbal ones， it creates communication synergy.
　　It has been suggested that two-thirds of our communication is nonverbal.Positive body language in a classroom setting has the ability to motivate， inspire and engage.It can not only give you the confidence you need to teach but can also inform your students that you actually know what you’re talking about.It can even make your students feel safe and confident enough to participate in the lessons more frequently.
　　Most leadership positions encourage body language that shows power and confidence.Signals include standing tall， gesturing only from the waist up， keeping head straight and forward， and talking while pointing to others， which are obvious ways to exercise control.But when teaching， the nonverbal signals need to show a different type of leader.These signals convey warmth and understanding， reminding your students that you are approachable and there to help them grow.For example， fix your eyes on one student for about 15－30 seconds before changing to another student， which is one of the best ways to keep students’ focus.Nod your head.Give a thumbs up — maybe two！ Show them they are on the right path and they will be more confident in continuing down it.
　　The importance of body language in teaching can never be ignored.It’s desirable that you should advocate using body language in teaching and pay attention to the use of rules and skills.You should use right， natural and clear body language.It’s crucial that you create a good classroom atmosphere， inspire students’ imagination and grasp students’ mood.
5.Which has a similar meaning to the underlined word “synergy” in Paragraph 1？（　　）
A.Energy loss. B.Confusing result.
C.Individual effect. D.Combined power.
6.What do most leadership positions mainly express？（　　）
A.Warmth. B.Control.
C.Understanding. D.Encouragement.
7.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph？（　　）
A.To explain a theory.
B.To make a description.
C.To give suggestions.
D.To summarize a debate.
8.What is the text mainly about？（　　）
A.The importance of teachers’ body language.
B.The effective ways of good communication.
C.The value of teacher-student communication.
D.The prospect of students’ nonverbal learning.

　　Older adults often complain about the loss of the good old days when neighbours were friends instead of strangers， and everyone in the neighbourhood left their doors unlocked.While home security is one thing， interesting new research from Rutgers University has found that feeling connected to one’s neighbours appears to promote better health outcomes.
　　About 27 per cent of people aged 60 or older live alone in the USA， according to the Pew Research Center.Living alone has been linked to a number of unfavourable health outcomes such as heart disease， depression， and poor overall biological health.So， researchers believed it important to identify which factors may or may not help reduce the negative effects of living alone.
　　The project focused on neighbourhood cohesion （凝聚力） among Chinese Americans living in the greater Chicago area.Study authors investigated if the perceptions of trust and connection among neighbours had an impact on the death risk among that population.Subjects living alone， and reporting minimal interactions or connections with their neighbours， had a 48.5 per cent increased risk of death in comparison to those living with other people.Meanwhile， people who lived alone and reported strong cohesion with their neighbourhood displayed death risks very similar to those living with others.
　　Establishing a clearer understanding of how different types of neighbourhoods may influence locals’ health outcomes can help in the creation of new social policies and public health initiatives aimed at promoting better， more inclusive neighbourhood environments.
　　“Our findings show the particular challenges faced by older adults who live alone in communities with little interaction or connection，” concludes Yanping Jiang， author of the study.“Enhancing neighbourhood cohesion may be a promising way to reduce early death for older adults who live alone.”
　　Future studies should focus on additional factors involved in neighbourhoods and how they influence the health of older adults.On an individual level， we all can do our part.Consider being just a little friendlier to your neighbours， especially those who live alone.
9.What can we learn about old people living alone in America？（　　）
A.Their health deserves more attention.
B.Their problems are quite uncommon.
C.They are responsible for social insecurity.
D.They account for 27％ of the US population.
10.What contributes to lower risks of death among the old according to the study？（　　）
A.The number of family members.
B.Neighbours’ health conditions.
C.A strong connection with nature.
D.An interrelationship with neighbours.
11.What do the researchers plan to do next？（　　）
A.Widen the range of subjects.
B.Focus on seniors’ health.
C.Identify other potential factors.
D.Establish a better relationship.
12.Which can be a suitable title for the text？（　　）
A.Get to Know Your Neighbours
B.Watch Your Overall Health
C.Choose a Safer Neighbourhood
D.Say No to Living Alone

WHY A DOSE OF FEAR IS GOOD FOR YOU
　　Eleanor Roosevelt once said，“Do one thing every day that scares you.” She was onto something.Science has shown that feeling fear — in the right doses — has several benefits.
　　 Feeling fear is fun and exciting. Many people scare themselves on purpose.13.（　　）
　　When you step outside your comfort zone， it is fear that makes you feel alive， which is fun and exciting.The excitement generated can also help reduce depression by increasing adrenaline （腎上腺素）， which in turn increases excitement and glucose （changed into energy）.14.（　　） A dose of fear is an “eraser” for the mind.
　　 15.（　　） Being afraid of something can alert （提醒） you to an area of your life that is limiting you.For instance， if you’re afraid of flying but face the fear and gather up the courage to step on an airplane， you can travel the world.Adding to your experiences means that you’ll create a varied life.You’ll also have fewer regrets.
　　 Fear gives you clarity on what’s really important in life. How often have you said to yourself， “When I have more time， I’ll spend it with my family， pursue my passion， eat healthier or exercise more？” Fear makes you realize that “now” is the only time you have to achieve and follow through what is most important.16.（　　）
The sweet spot of fear
　　Some say where fear meets courage is the sweet spot in which mountains get scaled and rivers are run.17.（　　）
　　We should all embrace （欣然接受） our fear.Not the big fears that are life-threatening but the helpful fears that come in small doses.
A.Fear helps you succeed.
B.“Later” is never guaranteed.
C.Fear allows you to live life to the fullest.
D.They watch scary movies， ride roller coasters or go skydiving.
E.And every time you come through a challenge， you feel empowered.
F.Most of all， fear can be the birthplace of change， creativity and innovation.
G.Actually， it’s nearly impossible to be thinking of your worries when you’re experiencing fear.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者在異國如何克服不自信，適應新生活的故事。
1.C　推理判斷題。根據第一段中的I expected they would be eager ...no one was interested可知，作者本來很想和同事一起去參加研討會，可是他們對此不感興趣。由此推斷，作者對他們的反應可能會感到失望。
2.D　推理判斷題。根據第二段內容可知，作者到英國后，不敢參與工作上的討論，害怕同事認為自己能力不足。再結合第三段第二至四句可推斷，在新環境中的不自信導致作者心理出現問題，所以他在一次崩潰之后聯系了學校的心理服務。
3.B　細節理解題。根據第三段中的all of us clapping and ...the familiar songs可知，在音樂會上作者與其他聽眾一起唱熟悉的歌曲。
4.A　細節理解題。根據最后一段中的So， when that conference came around， I felt comfortable registering to attend on my own可知，后來作者獨自去參加了研討會。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了肢體語言在教學中的重要性。
5.D　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞前的The most effective communication occurs ...together with our verbal ones 可知，非言語信號和口頭信號共同作用時，會產生溝通協同作用。由此可猜測，synergy意為“協同作用；增效作用”。
6.B　細節理解題。根據第三段前兩句可知，大多數領導職位主要表現為行使控制。
7.C　目的意圖題。根據最后一段內容可知，肢體語言的重要性不容忽視。在教學中提倡使用肢體語言，注意使用規則和技巧，這是可取的，應該使用正確、自然、清晰的肢體語言。由此可知，最后一段主要是給出建議，建議教師在教學中使用肢體語言。
8.A　主旨大意題。通讀全文尤其是最后一段中的The importance of body language in teaching can never be ignored.可知，文章主要介紹了教師使用肢體語言的重要性。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了羅格斯大學的新發現——與鄰居建立聯系有益于健康。
9.A　推理判斷題。根據第二段第二句可知，獨居與許多不利的健康結果有關，如心臟病、抑郁癥和整體生理健康狀況不佳。由此可知，獨居老人的健康狀況應受到關注。
10.D　細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中的Enhancing neighbourhood cohesion may be a promising way to reduce early death for older adults who live alone.可知，與鄰居的交往互動可以降低獨居老人的死亡風險。
11.C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段最后一句可知，未來的研究應該關注鄰里關系中的其他因素，以及它們如何影響老年人的健康。
12.A　標題歸納題。通讀全文尤其是最后一段最后一句可知，本文主要介紹了與鄰居建立聯系對健康的影響，呼吁我們每個人盡自己的一份力量對自己的鄰居好一點。因此，A項（了解你的鄰居）適合作為本文標題。
Ⅱ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。適度恐懼是有好處的。
13.D　根據空前一句可知，許多人專門嚇唬自己。故D項（他們看恐怖電影，坐過山車或跳傘）符合語境，D項中的They指代前一句的Many people。
14.G　根據設空處后一句可知，設空處和人的心理活動有關，故G項（實際上，當你經歷恐懼時，幾乎不可能想到你的擔憂）符合語境，G項中的impossible to be thinking of your worries與后一句中的“eraser” for the mind相呼應。
15.C　設空處所在段主要講了如果人挑戰內心的恐懼，做一些讓自己害怕的事情，會豐富自己的經歷，從而讓自己的人生少一些遺憾，故C項（恐懼讓你活得充實）符合語境。
16.B　根據設空處前一句可知，恐懼會讓你意識到什么是重要的，并頓悟抓住“現在”時刻的意義，故B項[“以后”永遠無法保證（那些重要的人和事能被關心和完成）]符合語境，B項中的Later和前一句中的now相呼應。
17.F　最后兩段總結全文。設空處與前一句在語義上構成遞進關系。有人說恐懼與勇氣相遇的地方，是最美好的地方。故F項（最重要的是，恐懼可能是變革、創造力和創新的發源地）符合語境。

Effective communication
　　If you heard someone shout “Hey you！” from across the room， how would you react①？ Just these two words can carry a lot of information. [1]They could be interpreted as② a welcoming greeting from a close friend， especially if accompanied by a gentle③ smile.[2]When spoken by a stranger， they can function as a means of attracting your attention. [3]Much of what we communicate is dependent④ not only on the words we use， but also on how we use them. So， let’s look a little deeper into the topic of communication.
　　[1]該句為主從復合句，主句中的主語They 指代上文提及的these two words；從句是if引導的條件狀語從句，if后面省略了they are，完整句子為especially if they are accompanied by a gentle smile。
　　[2]When spoken by a stranger是When引導的時間狀語從句的省略，When后面省略了they are。
　　[3]句中what引導主語從句，作介詞of的賓語；not only ...but also ...連接兩個并列的成分。how引導賓語從句。第一個we use為省略了關系代詞that或which的定語從句，修飾先行詞words。
　　Communication is the process of exchanging information between a sender and a receiver.The sender encodes⑤ a message and sends it face to face， or through video， telephone， mail⑥ or social media. This message is then received and decoded⑦ by the receiver.[4]In response⑧， the receiver sends an encoded message back， which is referred to as⑨ feedback⑩.This feedback is decoded by the original sender and the entire cycle repeats itself until they have finished communicating.
　　This communication process can be challenging but， with practice and patience， you can become a highly competent communicator. [5]To accomplish this， you need to know with whom you are communicating.What is their age or position？ What is their relationship with you？ What expectations and cultural backgrounds do they have？ [6]Once you have obtained this information， you can use it to determine how best to communicate with them.[7]Depending on whether you are communicating with a stranger， friend， family member or co-worker， you will need to decide which communication channel best suits the situation. Furthermore， you will need to determine the appropriate style to use and how complex your choice of words should be. For example， if you are a business person negotiating with a large enterprise about a deal， you should do it face to face， using formal language in a straightforward manner.
　　[4]句中which引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞encoded message。
　　[5]動詞不定式短語To accomplish this作目的狀語；whom引導賓語從句，作介詞with的賓語。
　　[6]Once引導狀語從句，意為“一旦”；how best to communicate with them作動詞不定式to determine的賓語。
　　[7]動詞-ing短語Depending on ...作狀語，Depending on后接一個whether引導的賓語從句；which引導賓語從句，作動詞decide的賓語。
　　Your body language is equally important， since it reveals a lot about your thoughts and attitudes.Make sure it clearly supports the message you want to deliver.[8] A smile shows you are attentive to the issues being discussed， while looking away with your arms folded can indicate disinterest and create distrust or friction .[9]Additionally， you should not ignore the other person’s body language， which will give you clues as to whether the conversation is going well or not. When you notice a change in the other person’s body language， you should adjust how you are communicating accordingly. If someone looks at you with a confused expression， this could indicate that they have not completely understood your point. Then you will need to clarify your message before moving on.
　　[8]本句整體上是并列連詞while連接的并列句，while意為“然而”。前一個分句中的賓語從句you are attentive to the issues being discussed省略了引導詞that；后一個分句中動詞-ing短語looking away with your arms folded作主語。
　　[9]which引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞body language；whether the conversation is going well or not作as to的賓語。
　　[10]While being knowledgeable about body language is vital， the value of empathy should not be understated . Seek to understand the other person’s emotions， by putting yourself in their shoes and looking at the situation from their perspective.[11]Suppose you are discussing a project with your partner， who has just lost an important basketball game and is inactive. To engage him or her in the discussion and make your communication more effective， you may express your sympathy by， for instance， saying， “I understand how you feel ...” However， some issues may be complicated and you may be confused about why others feel the way they do.[12]Only when you give serious consideration to their points of view will you be able to see what accounts for their emotions and empathize with them.[13] You may not approve of their ideas but at least you will see where they are coming from， which means you can make adjustments to your own tone and choice of words accordingly.
　　[10]While引導讓步狀語從句，意為“雖然，盡管”，從句中動詞-ing短語being knowledgeable about body language作主語。
　　[11]who引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞partner。
　　[12]“only＋狀語從句”位于句首，后面句子使用部分倒裝。
　　[13]句中where引導賓語從句，作動詞see的賓語；which引導非限制性定語從句，修飾整個主句。
　　Effective communication will enable you to settle differences and disagreements appropriately and improve your interactions with others.[14]Good communication skills will also help you build trust and gain respect， allowing relationships to become more positive and productive. So， get practising and good luck！
　　[14]動詞-ing短語allowing relationships ... 作結果狀語，表示自然而然的結果。

有效溝通
　　如果你聽到有人從房間另一頭喊“嘿，朋友！”，你會有什么反應？僅僅這兩個詞就能承載很多信息。它們（這兩個詞）可以解讀成來自親密朋友的熱情問候，特別是如果伴隨著親切的笑容。當一個陌生人這樣說時，這句話可以當作吸引你注意力的一種方式。我們溝通的許多內容不僅取決于我們所使用的詞語，還取決于我們如何運用它們。因此，讓我們更深入地了解一下溝通這個話題。
　　溝通是一位發送者和一位接收者之間交換信息的過程。發送者對一條信息進行編碼然后當面發送出去，或是通過視頻、電話、郵件或社交媒體。這條信息隨后被接收者收到并解碼。作為回應，接收者再發回一條編碼信息，這就是所謂的反饋。這條反饋再被原先的發送者解碼，然后整個過程不斷循環往復，直到他們完成溝通。
　　這一溝通的過程可能是具有挑戰性的，但是經過練習且擁有耐心，你就可以成為一名技術高超的溝通者。要實現這個目標，你需要知道你在和誰溝通。他們的年齡多大或者職位如何？他們和你是什么關系？他們有什么期待、是什么文化背景？一旦獲得了這些信息，你就可以據此決定如何最好地與他們溝通。根據你是否在跟一位陌生人、朋友、家人或者同事在溝通，你將需要決定哪種溝通渠道最適合當下的情況。此外，你還要決定使用何種恰當的風格，以及選詞應該有多復雜。例如，如果你是一個商人，正在與一家大企業洽談一筆交易，你應該面對面地，用正式的語言，以直截了當的方式進行溝通。
　　你的肢體語言同樣重要，因為它可以透露很多關于你的想法和態度的信息。確保你的肢體語言明確地支持你想要傳達的信息。微笑表明你對正在討論的問題很關注，而雙臂交叉、目光移開可能表明你不感興趣，這樣會造成不信任或導致摩擦。此外，你不應該忽視對方的肢體語言，它會為你提供線索，告訴你談話進行得順利與否。當你注意到對方的肢體語言產生變化時，你應該相應地調整你的溝通方式。如果有人用困惑的表情看著你，這可能表明他們還沒有完全理解你的觀點。然后在繼續對話之前，你將需要進一步闡明你的信息。
　　雖然了解肢體語言至關重要，但是也不應輕視同理心的價值。通過設身處地從對方的角度看問題來試著理解對方的情緒。假設你正在和你的合作伙伴討論一個項目，對方剛剛輸掉了一場重要的籃球比賽，因而表現不積極。為了讓他（她）專注到討論中來，并且使你的溝通更為有效，你可以通過語言表達你的同感，比如對他 （她）說：“我理解你的感受……”。然而，有些問題可能是復雜的，你可能會對其他人為什么會有那樣的感受或行為感到困惑。只有當你認真考慮他們的想法時才能了解他們為什么有這樣的情緒，并與他們產生共鳴。你可能不贊成他們的想法，但至少你會明白這些想法從何而來，這意味著你可以相應地調整自己的語氣和措辭。
　　有效溝通會讓你妥善處理不同意見和分歧，改善與他人的互動。良好的溝通技巧也會幫助你建立信任、贏得尊重，讓人際關系變得更加積極且富有成效。所以，開始練習吧，祝你好運！

Effective communication
　　If you heard someone shout “Hey you！” from across the room，
how would you react①？ Just these two words can carry a lot of
information. [1]They could be interpreted as② a welcoming greeting from
a close friend， especially if accompanied by a gentle③ smile.[2]When
spoken by a stranger， they can function as a means of attracting your
attention. [3]Much of what we communicate is dependent④ not only on
the words we use， but also on how we use them. So， let’s look a little
deeper into the topic of communication.
　　[1]該句為主從復合句，主句中的主語They 指代上文提及的these
two words；從句是if引導的條件狀語從句，if后面省略了they are，完
整句子為especially if they are accompanied by a gentle smile。
　　[2]When spoken by a stranger是When引導的時間狀語從句的省
略，When后面省略了they are。
　　[3]句中what引導主語從句，作介詞of的賓語；not only ...but
also ...連接兩個并列的成分。how引導賓語從句。第一個we use為省
略了關系代詞that或which的定語從句，修飾先行詞words。
【讀文清障】
①react vi.（對……）作出反應；有不良反應，過敏；起化學反應
②be interpreted as 被理解為……
③gentle adj.溫柔的；溫和的；柔和的
④dependent adj.取決于；依賴的，依靠的
be dependent on 取決于；依賴，依靠
　　Communication is the process of exchanging information between a
sender and a receiver.The sender encodes⑤ a message and sends it face to
face， or through video， telephone， mail⑥ or social media. This
message is then received and decoded⑦ by the receiver.[4]In response
⑧， the receiver sends an encoded message back， which is referred to as
⑨ feedback⑩.This feedback is decoded by the original sender and the
entire cycle repeats itself until they have finished communicating.
　　This communication process can be challenging but， with practice
and patience， you can become a highly competent communicator.
[5]To accomplish this， you need to know with whom you are
communicating.What is their age or position？ What is their relationship
with you？ What expectations and cultural backgrounds do they have？
[6]Once you have obtained this information， you can use it to
determine how best to communicate with them.[7]Depending on
whether you are communicating with a stranger， friend， family member
or co-worker， you will need to decide which communication channel best
suits the situation.
Furthermore， you will need to determine the appropriate style to use and how complex your choice of words should be. For example， if you are a business person negotiating with a large enterprise about a deal， you should do it face to face， using formal language in a straightforward manner.
　　[4]句中which引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞encoded
message。
　　[5]動詞不定式短語To accomplish this作目的狀語；whom引
導賓語從句，作介詞with的賓語。
　　[6]Once引導狀語從句，意為“一旦”；how best to
communicate with them作動詞不定式to determine的賓語。
　　[7]動詞-ing短語Depending on ...作狀語，Depending on后
接一個whether引導的賓語從句；which引導賓語從句，作動詞
decide的賓語。
　　Your body language is equally important， since it reveals a lot about
your thoughts and attitudes.Make sure it clearly supports the message
you want to deliver.[8] A smile shows you are attentive to the issues
being discussed， while looking away with your arms folded can
indicate disinterest and create distrust or friction .[9]Additionally， you
should not ignore the other person’s body language， which will give
you clues as to whether the conversation is going well or not. When you
notice a change in the other person’s body language， you should adjust
how you are communicating accordingly.
If someone looks at you with a confused expression， this could indicate
that they have not completely understood your point. Then you will need
to clarify your message before moving on.
　　[8]本句整體上是并列連詞while連接的并列句，while意為“然
而”。前一個分句中的賓語從句you are attentive to the issues being
discussed省略了引導詞that；后一個分句中動詞-ing短語looking away
with your arms folded作主語。
　　[9]which引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞body language；
whether the conversation is going well or not作as to的賓語。
⑤encode vt.把……編碼；把……譯成電碼（或密碼）
⑥mail n.電子郵件；郵政；郵件
⑦decode vt.解（碼），破譯（尤指密碼）
⑧in response作為回應，作為回答
⑨be referred to as 被稱作，被稱為
⑩feedback n.反饋的意見（或信息）
competent adj.足以勝任的，有能力的，稱職的
obtain vt.獲得，贏得

suit vt.滿足需要；相配，合身

straightforward adj.坦誠的；簡單的
in a straightforward manner 以直截了當的方式

fold vt.折疊，對折；包，裹
n.褶，褶層，折疊部分
friction n.爭執；摩擦；摩擦力
as to 關于，至于
clarify vt.使更清晰易懂，闡明
　　[10]While being knowledgeable about body language is vital， the
value of empathy should not be understated . Seek to understand the
other person’s emotions， by putting yourself in their shoes and
looking at the situation from their perspective.[11]Suppose you are
discussing a project with your partner， who has just lost an important
basketball game and is inactive.
To engage him or her in the discussion and make your communication
more effective， you may express your sympathy by， for instance，
saying， “I understand how you feel ...” However， some issues may
be complicated and you may be confused about why others feel the way
they do.[12]Only when you give serious consideration to their points of
view will you be able to see what accounts for their emotions and
empathize with them.[13] You may not approve of their ideas but at
least you will see where they are coming from， which means you can
make adjustments to your own tone and choice of words accordingly.
　　[10]While引導讓步狀語從句，意為“雖然，盡管”，從句中動
詞-ing短語being knowledgeable about body language作主語。
　　[11]who引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞partner。
　　[12]“only＋狀語從句”位于句首，后面句子使用部分倒裝。
　　[13]句中where引導賓語從句，作動詞see的賓語；which引導非
限制性定語從句，修飾整個主句。
knowledgeable adj.博學的，有見識的
be knowledgeable about對……很在行
empathy n.同感，共鳴，同情

productive. So， get practising and good luck！
　　[14]動詞-ing短語allowing relationships ... 作結果狀語，表示自
然而然的結果。

【參考譯文】
有效溝通
　　如果你聽到有人從房間另一頭喊“嘿，朋友！”，你會有什么反
應？僅僅這兩個詞就能承載很多信息。它們（這兩個詞）可以解讀成
來自親密朋友的熱情問候，特別是如果伴隨著親切的笑容。當一個陌
生人這樣說時，這句話可以當作吸引你注意力的一種方式。我們溝通
的許多內容不僅取決于我們所使用的詞語，還取決于我們如何運用它
們。因此，讓我們更深入地了解一下溝通這個話題。
　　溝通是一位發送者和一位接收者之間交換信息的過程。發送者對
一條信息進行編碼然后當面發送出去，或是通過視頻、電話、郵件或
社交媒體。這條信息隨后被接收者收到并解碼。作為回應，接收者再
發回一條編碼信息，這就是所謂的反饋。這條反饋再被原先的發送者
解碼，然后整個過程不斷循環往復，直到他們完成溝通。
　　這一溝通的過程可能是具有挑戰性的，但是經過練習且擁有耐
心，你就可以成為一名技術高超的溝通者。要實現這個目標，你需要
知道你在和誰溝通。他們的年齡多大或者職位如何？他們和你是什么
關系？他們有什么期待、是什么文化背景？一旦獲得了這些信息，你
就可以據此決定如何最好地與他們溝通。根據你是否在跟一位陌生
人、朋友、家人或者同事在溝通，你將需要決定哪種溝通渠道最適合
當下的情況。此外，你還要決定使用何種恰當的風格，以及選詞應該
有多復雜。例如，如果你是一個商人，正在與一家大企業洽談一筆交
易，你應該面對面地，用正式的語言，以直截了當的方式進行溝通。
　　你的肢體語言同樣重要，因為它可以透露很多關于你的想法和態
度的信息。確保你的肢體語言明確地支持你想要傳達的信息。微笑表
明你對正在討論的問題很關注，而雙臂交叉、目光移開可能表明你不
感興趣，這樣會造成不信任或導致摩擦。此外，你不應該忽視對方的
肢體語言，它會為你提供線索，告訴你談話進行得順利與否。當你注
意到對方的肢體語言產生變化時，你應該相應地調整你的溝通方式。
如果有人用困惑的表情看著你，這可能表明他們還沒有完全理解你的
觀點。然后在繼續對話之前，你將需要進一步闡明你的信息。
　　雖然了解肢體語言至關重要，但是也不應輕視同理心的價值。
通過設身處地從對方的角度看問題來試著理解對方的情緒。假設你正
在和你的合作伙伴討論一個項目，對方剛剛輸掉了一場重要的籃球比
賽，因而表現不積極。為了讓他（她）專注到討論中來，并且使你的
溝通更為有效，你可以通過語言表達你的同感，比如對他 （她）說：
“我理解你的感受……”。然而，有些問題可能是復雜的，你可能會
對其他人為什么會有那樣的感受或行為感到困惑。只有當你認真考慮
他們的想法時才能了解他們為什么有這樣的情緒，并與他們產生共鳴。
你可能不贊成他們的想法，但至少你會明白這些想法從何而來，這意
味著你可以相應地調整自己的語氣和措辭。
　　有效溝通會讓你妥善處理不同意見和分歧，改善與他人的互動。
良好的溝通技巧也會幫助你建立信任、贏得尊重，讓人際關系變得更
加積極且富有成效。所以，開始練習吧，祝你好運！

　　When I stumbled on （意外發現） an advertisement for a
conference， I couldn’t wait to tell my co-workers.It looked like a great
day of presentations highly relevant to our research， and I expected they
would be eager to attend with me.However， no one was interested.
　　A year earlier， I left India for the United Kingdom to pursue my
research career.At work， I shied away from engaging in discussions or
putting forward my opinions.I was afraid my co-workers would realize
how weak I really felt.Some mornings， just stepping out of my room and
going into the lab seemed a tough task.
　　Socializing didn’t help， as I constantly feared committing social
mistakes.I longed for new experiences， but my insecurities stymied （妨
礙） me.I started to keep more and more to myself.That began to change
after a quiet breakdown in the lab prompted （促使） me to contact the
university’s mental health services.The consultant suggested I attend a
nearby concert by a famous singer from my home country.I couldn’t
miss it.So， there I was in the packed concert hall， surrounded by
strangers — all of us clapping and singing the choruses of the familiar
songs.It was a beautiful night， and it proved to be a turning point.
　　My growing self-confidence carried over into my work， where I
started to speak up and put forward my opinions.I offered to help co-
workers design and troubleshoot experiments.I began to ask questions
during departmental meetings.I finally felt like an active member of the
group.
　　So， when that conference came around， I felt comfortable
registering to attend on my own — and I’m so glad I did.Not only did I
meet the speakers， but I also introduced myself to other attendees.The
encounters inspired me to critically evaluate my own professional
interests.

1. How did the author probably feel at first about his co-workers’
response？ （　　）
A. Eager. B. Worried.
C. Disappointed. D. Uninterested.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第一段中的I expected they would be
eager ...no one was interested可知，作者本來很想和同事一起去參
加研討會，可是他們對此不感興趣。由此推斷，作者對他們的反應
可能會感到失望。
2. Why did the author contact the mental health services？（　　）
A. He wanted to solve a conflict.
B. He struggled to conduct research.
C. He often made big mistakes in socializing.
D. He lacked confidence in a new environment.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第二段內容可知，作者到英國后，不
敢參與工作上的討論，害怕同事認為自己能力不足。再結合第三段
第二至四句可推斷，在新環境中的不自信導致作者心理出現問題，
所以他在一次崩潰之后聯系了學校的心理服務。
3. What happened during the concert？（　　）
A. The author got the consultant’s help.
B. The author sang along with the audience.
C. The author met with a previous co-worker.
D. The author connected a song with his research.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第三段中的all of us clapping
and ...the familiar songs可知，在音樂會上作者與其他聽眾一起唱
熟悉的歌曲。
4. What did the author do at last？（　　）
A. He went to the conference alone.
B. He turned to experts for advice.
C. He took full charge of the lab.
D. He changed his professional interests.
解析：　細節理解題。根據最后一段中的So， when that
conference came around， I felt comfortable registering to attend on
my own可知，后來作者獨自去參加了研討會。

　　Words are powerful： they have the ability to lift up the lowest of the
low or tear down the highest of the high.But a strong argument could be
made that our body language is even more influential.The most effective
communication occurs when the importance of body language in teaching
is acknowledged.When these nonverbal signals are working together with
our verbal ones， it creates communication synergy.
　　It has been suggested that two-thirds of our communication is
nonverbal.Positive body language in a classroom setting has the ability to
motivate， inspire and engage.It can not only give you the confidence you
need to teach but can also inform your students that you actually know
what you’re talking about.It can even make your students feel safe and
confident enough to participate in the lessons more frequently.
　　Most leadership positions encourage body language that shows power
and confidence.Signals include standing tall， gesturing only from the
waist up， keeping head straight and forward， and talking while pointing
to others， which are obvious ways to exercise control.But when
teaching， the nonverbal signals need to show a different type of
leader.These signals convey warmth and understanding， reminding your
students that you are approachable and there to help them grow.
For example， fix your eyes on one student for about 15－30 seconds
before changing to another student， which is one of the best ways to keep
students’ focus.Nod your head.Give a thumbs up — maybe two！ Show
them they are on the right path and they will be more confident in
continuing down it.
　　The importance of body language in teaching can never be
ignored.It’s desirable that you should advocate using body language in
teaching and pay attention to the use of rules and skills.You should use
right， natural and clear body language.It’s crucial that you create a
good classroom atmosphere， inspire students’ imagination and grasp
students’ mood.

　　Older adults often complain about the loss of the good old days when
neighbours were friends instead of strangers， and everyone in the
neighbourhood left their doors unlocked.While home security is one
thing， interesting new research from Rutgers University has found that
feeling connected to one’s neighbours appears to promote better health
outcomes.
　　About 27 per cent of people aged 60 or older live alone in the USA，
according to the Pew Research Center.Living alone has been linked to a
number of unfavourable health outcomes such as heart disease，
depression， and poor overall biological health.So， researchers believed
it important to identify which factors may or may not help reduce the
negative effects of living alone.
　　The project focused on neighbourhood cohesion （凝聚力） among
Chinese Americans living in the greater Chicago area.Study authors
investigated if the perceptions of trust and connection among neighbours
had an impact on the death risk among that population.Subjects living
alone， and reporting minimal interactions or connections with their
neighbours， had a 48.5 per cent increased risk of death in comparison to
those living with other people.Meanwhile， people who lived alone and
reported strong cohesion with their neighbourhood displayed death risks
very similar to those living with others.
　　Establishing a clearer understanding of how different types of
neighbourhoods may influence locals’ health outcomes can help in the
creation of new social policies and public health initiatives aimed at
promoting better， more inclusive neighbourhood environments.
　　“Our findings show the particular challenges faced by older adults
who live alone in communities with little interaction or connection，”
concludes Yanping Jiang， author of the study.“Enhancing
neighbourhood cohesion may be a promising way to reduce early death for
older adults who live alone.”
　　Future studies should focus on additional factors involved in
neighbourhoods and how they influence the health of older adults.On an
individual level， we all can do our part.Consider being just a little
friendlier to your neighbours， especially those who live alone.

WHY A DOSE OF FEAR IS GOOD FOR YOU
　　Eleanor Roosevelt once said，“Do one thing every day that scares
you.” She was onto something.Science has shown that feeling fear — in
the right doses — has several benefits.
　　 Feeling fear is fun and exciting. Many people scare themselves on
purpose.13.（　　）
　　When you step outside your comfort zone， it is fear that makes you
feel alive， which is fun and exciting.The excitement generated can also
help reduce depression by increasing adrenaline （腎上腺素）， which in
turn increases excitement and glucose （changed into energy）.14.
（　　） A dose of fear is an “eraser” for the mind.
　　 15.（　　） Being afraid of something can alert （提醒） you to
an area of your life that is limiting you.For instance， if you’re afraid of
flying but face the fear and gather up the courage to step on an airplane，
you can travel the world.Adding to your experiences means that you’ll
create a varied life.You’ll also have fewer regrets.
　　 Fear gives you clarity on what’s really important in life. How
often have you said to yourself， “When I have more time， I’ll spend
it with my family， pursue my passion， eat healthier or exercise
more？” Fear makes you realize that “now” is the only time you have
to achieve and follow through what is most important.16.（　　）
The sweet spot of fear
　　Some say where fear meets courage is the sweet spot in which
mountains get scaled and rivers are run.17.（　　）
　　We should all embrace （欣然接受） our fear.Not the big fears that
are life-threatening but the helpful fears that come in small doses.
A. Fear helps you succeed.
B. “Later” is never guaranteed.
C. Fear allows you to live life to the fullest.
D. They watch scary movies， ride roller coasters or go skydiving.
E. And every time you come through a challenge， you feel empowered.
F. Most of all， fear can be the birthplace of change， creativity and
innovation.
G. Actually， it’s nearly impossible to be thinking of your worries when
you’re experiencing fear.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。適度恐懼是有好處的。
13. D　根據空前一句可知，許多人專門嚇唬自己。故D項（他們看恐
怖電影，坐過山車或跳傘）符合語境，D項中的They指代前一句的
Many people。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。適度恐懼是有好處的。
14. G　根據設空處后一句可知，設空處和人的心理活動有關，故G項
（實際上，當你經歷恐懼時，幾乎不可能想到你的擔憂）符合語境，
G項中的impossible to be thinking of your worries與后一句中的
“eraser” for the mind相呼應。
15. C　設空處所在段主要講了如果人挑戰內心的恐懼，做一些讓自
己害怕的事情，會豐富自己的經歷，從而讓自己的人生少一些遺憾，
故C項（恐懼讓你活得充實）符合語境。
16. B　根據設空處前一句可知，恐懼會讓你意識到什么是重要的，
并頓悟抓住“現在”時刻的意義，故B項[“以后”永遠無法保證（那
些重要的人和事能被關心和完成）]符合語境，B項中的Later和前一句
中的now相呼應。
17. F　最后兩段總結全文。設空處與前一句在語義上構成遞進關系。
有人說恐懼與勇氣相遇的地方，是最美好的地方。故F項（最重要的
是，恐懼可能是變革、創造力和創新的發源地）符合語境。
謝謝觀看！
