【题目】Effective Communication With Parents
This book explains how school leaders can become successful communicators with teachers and parents。
The effective approaches to communicating with parents in the book are: Listen, Apologize, Solve, and Thank. 【1】 It can be a challenge to listen quietly when being attacked or when wrong information is being shared, but listening quietly without interruption is the most important.
【2】 Many people struggle with making apologies- especially when they feel they've done nothing wrong. But remember, we are not necessarily apologizing for our actions, but rather because of how the parent feels or what happened. For example, "I'm sorry this happened" or "I'm sorry you feel that way.”
Listening and apologizing are the two hardest steps to a successful meeting with a dissatisfied parent. 【3】However, they set the tone for the final two steps of offering a solution and thanking the parent for their time.
【4】More importantly, LAST helps to avoid the disadvantages of becoming defensive, and damaging your partnership with the parent.
Parent-teacher conferences can be difficult when there are agendas on either side that are not known. 【5】 They should try to focus on where the student is academically, and what the child and parents can do to help the situation.
A.These steps can feel unpleasant.
B.Choose your words carefully and thoughtfully.
C.After listening, I encourage teachers to apologize.
D.When communicating with a parent, it is important to listen quietly.
E.Give parents an opportunity to say what they want the teacher to know.
F.One thing teachers should know is to make sure the conference is student-centered.
G.When you follow these four steps, any parent-teacher conference can be successful.
【答案】
【1】D

【5】F
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学校如何和家长进行有效的交流。
【1】
空前提到“和家长进行有效的交流方法是:听,道歉,解决和感谢”,照应空前“LAST”的概念,第一个步骤是listen,所以D项“当和父母交流时,安静地听很重要”强调听的重要性,放在这里是合理的。故选D项。
【2】
空处是段首主题句。本段介绍的是“LAST”的第二个步骤:apologize。段落的主要内容也是如何进行正确的道歉,所以C项“听完后,我鼓励老师道歉”切题。故选C项。
【3】
根据空前“倾听和道歉是与不满意的父母进行有成效的会面最困难的两个步骤。”可知,这两个步骤不会让人感觉舒服,A项切题,也启示下文“它们为最后两个步骤定下了基调”,故选A项。
【4】
空后“更重要的是,LAST避免了使会议变成辩论,并避免破坏你和父母合作关系,”是说明“LAST”这种方式的好处,因此G项“当你遵循这四步,任何父母——老师会议都会是成功的”切题,与下句都是说明“LAST”这种方式的好处。故选G项。
【5】
F项“教师需要强调的一件事是确保会议以学生为中心”与前句中的conference和后句中的focus on既有词汇上的照应也有意义上的照应。故选F项。

【题目】 Many people can't imagine life without dogs. 【1】. However, dogs and people are very different animals. To make the most of your relationship with your dog, you need to teach her some important skills. Here are three essential principles to keep in mind while teaching.
【2】.
One of the most frequent complaints of pet parents is that their dogs "just won't listen". But put yourself in your dog's shoes for a moment. If someone was constantly speaking in a foreign language how long would you pay attention? Probably not for very long because you simply couldn't understand what the foreign speaker was trying to communicate. Thus, you need to understand how.
If you like the behavior, reward it.
Some training methods use punishment, like scolding, to discourage dogs from doing everything except what you want them to do. 【3】. While both strategies can work, the latter is usually the more effective approach, and it's also much more enjoyable for you and your dog.
Control consequences effectively
As you teach your dog dos and don'ts, bear the following two guideline in mind;
Consequences must be immediate. Dogs live in the present. Unlike us, they can't make connections between events and experiences that are separated in time. For your dog to connect something she does with the consequences of that behavior, the consequences must be immediate 【4】, you have to catch her messing around in the kitchen and punish her on the spot.
【5】. When training your dog, you should respond the same way to things she does every time she does them. For example, if you sometimes touch your dog when she jumps up to greet you but sometimes yell at her instead, she'll definitely get confused. How can she know when it's okay to jump up and when it's not?
A.Consequences must be consistent
B.Understand how your dog learns
C.If you want to keep your dog safe
D.If you want to discourage your dog from doing something
E.We adore them for their loyalty, unconditional affection, and passion for life
F.Training your dog well will improve your life and hers, enhancing the bond
G.Other methods mainly focus on teaching dogs what you want them to do

【题目】阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
A zoo keeper had been working at a zoo for 15 years and never experienced any problems. He always worked the evening shifts (夜班) because he was trusted to properly lock up the zoo. On a warm summer night in late June, the zoo keeper turned off the lights and wished all of his animals a good night. He left the zoo and walked to his car in the parking lot. As he reached in his pocket, he realized that his keys had been left in the office. He quickly walked back to the zoo.
When he arrived at the door, to his surprise, it was unlocked. In fear of triggering (触发) the alarm that he had just set, he did not turn on the lights. He turned on the flashlight on his phone and began to make his way to the office. When he walked by the panther's (豹) cages, he saw the young cubs playing together. He liked the zoo better at this hour because at night was when the animals come to life.
At last, he made it back to the office. Unfortunately this time the office door was locked and he knew that if he were to break the window, he would set off the alarm. Knowing there was no way inside, he decided it would be best to spend the night inside the zoo. The zoo keeper walked towards the bird cages because he knew he could sleep comfortably on the benches near the cages.
A few hours later, the zoo keeper heard a door slam (砰的一声) that woke him up.
“Quiet!" a voice whispered.
“What? There's no one here, another voice said. "The old man left hours ago”
"Alright, let's just grab the animals and get out of here.”
The zoo keeper didn't know what to do. He began to weigh his options: he could trigger the alarm but that would raise questions as to why he was inside, or he could face the thieves but that could potentially put him in danger. Then he turned the corner but made sure not to be seen so that he could see who had entered the zoo.

【题目】 Being able to communicate effectively with others is an essential skill for people of all ages. 【1】 People who want to develop those skills can learn how to do this from self-help books, workshops, and from the advice of other people.
【2】 Active listening involves a person listening carefully and attentively to the person speaking, restating what the other person has said — or what comes across — in a brief and nonjudgmental manner. 【3】 Becoming effective at active listening is one way to increase trust and understanding in a relationship, whether it is a personal or professional one.
Another tip to developing and improving interpersonal communication skills is to use feedback for different types of communication. Before giving speeches and presentations, it is always well advised to practice them before an audience and to ask for feedback before giving the real speech or presentation. 【4】

【题目】 Roughly 8. 5 billion plastic straws are used in the United Kingdom each year, but as a new ban takes effect next April, that number will decrease to zero. One startup (初创企业) is hoping to capture the chance to make a kind of straws as an alternative by using an unlikely material: pasta (意大利面食).
“It has all the function of a plastic straw that everyone has been using,” says Maxim Gelmann, founder of Stroodles, the startup. The straws, made by an Italian company that also produces regular pasta, are the same shape and size as a standard plastic straw.
Unlike a paper straw, they don’t taste like wet paper; they don’t change the flavor of the drink. They last at least an hour, and longer in colder drinks. If you’re nursing a drink for hours and the pasta eventually softens, you can choose to eat it. The raw straw is also eatable, and Gelmann says that some people snack on them.
A handful of other pasta-straw startups also exist, though Stroodles is hoping to feature itself with a smoother, more plastic-like material and its branding.
It’s more expensive to make than a plastic straw, but at large volumes, it can compete with the cost of paper straws. Because of the coming ban, “No one really compares us with plastic anymore,” Gelmann says. “They compare us with paper straw prices, which makes my argument much easier and my expectation brighter.”
Other alternatives, like bamboo or stainless steel, are more expensive and a less elegant solution; some bars say that customers don’t trust the idea that stainless steel straws can be fully sanitized (消毒). Another option—a plastic-like eatable straw made from seaweed—may be more of a competitor.
【1】What’s the startup’s main purpose of producing the pasta straws?
A.To reduce the consumption of energy.
B.To take over the market.
C.To answer the call for the ban.
D.To compete with paper straws.
【2】What advantage do the pasta straws have compared with other straws?
A.They are cheaper.B.They can be used longer.
C.They can be treated as snacks.D.They are suitable for mass production.
【3】What attitude does Gelmann have towards the pasta straws’ future?
A.Controversial.B.Doubtful.
C.Cautious.D.Positive.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.The government disagrees with Gelmann.
B.The startup will become a very big company.
C.The pasta straws face fierce competition.
D.The pasta straws can improve drinks’ flavor.
