【题目】How to be a Good Listener
Being a good listener can help you see the world through the eyes of others. 【1】 Good listening skills can provide you with a deeper level of understanding about someone’s situation. If you want to know how to be a good listener, read on to get started.
1. Place yourself in other people’s shoes It’s easy to only consider the impact of the other person’s “telling” on you. But you must open out and look at the problems from the other person’s view. 【2】
2. Avoid comparing the person’s experiences to your own. You may think that the best thing you can do to really listen is to compare the person’s experiences to your own. But this type of thinking actually makes the person feel like you’re not really listening at all. 【3】 That means that you’re focusing more on yourself than on the person’s situation.
3. 【4】 Some people think that, when they’re listening, they should find a quick and easy solution to the person’s problem. According to the research, it is totally wrong to do so. Instead focus on absorbing everything the person is saying to you. Only after that can you really try to help.
4. Know what not to do. Knowing what to avoid when you’re trying to be a good listener can be almost as helpful as knowing what to do. If you want the speaker to take you seriously you’d better not interrupt in the middle of a point. 【5】 Make eye contact with the person so that he or she realizes that you are listening with interest.
A.Don’t try to help immediately.
B.Avoid saying “I” or “me” a lot.
C.Try to solve the person’s problem quickly.
D.Don’t try to change the subject even if it’s a little uncomfortable.
E.If so, you would see your way through the problems much faster.
F.Therefore you’d better listen to what the person is saying carefully.
G.It enriches your understanding and expands your capacity for empathy (同情).
【答案】
【1】G
【2】E
【3】B
【4】A
【5】D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。本文就如何成为一位好的聆听者向读者提供了四条建议：1. 设身处地为别人着想；2. 避免将对方的经历与自己的相比较；3. 专注听别人的倾诉，不要急于想对策；4. 知道不该做什么。
【1】由上文Being a good listener can help you see the world through the eyes of others.(做一个好的倾听者可以帮助你透过别人的眼睛看世界)可知，此处承接上文，G选项“它增强了你的理解力及移情能力”符合题意。该选项中的it对应上文中的being a good listener。故选G。
【2】由上文But you must open out and look at the problems from the other person’s view.(但是你必须敞开心扉，从别人的角度看问题)可知，E选项“如果是这样，你会更快地找到解决问题的方法”与上文谈到的换位思考相承接。故选E项。
【3】本段主要讲的是避免把他人和自己的经历作比较，本空是细节句，空后That means that you’re focusing more on yourself than on the person’s situation.(这意味着你更关注自己而不是别人的处境)中的That是对空处内容的指代，由此可推断出，为了与下文中的that呼应，所填空应为“避免经常说‘我’。”故选B项。
【4】本空是本段的主题句，由本段中Some people think that, when they’re listening, they should find a quick and easy solution to the person’s problem. According to the research, it is totally wrong to do so.(有些人认为，当他们在听的时候，他们应该找到一个快速简单的方法来解决这个人的问题。根据研究，这样做是完全错误的)可知，本段主要叙述“不要急于想对策”。A选项“不要急于提供帮助”符合题意，故选A项。
【5】由空前If you want the speaker to take you seriously you’d better not interrupt in the middle of a point.(如果你想让说话者认真对待你，你最好不要中途打断)可知，D选项“不要试图改变主题，即使它让人有点不舒服”意义一致，符合逻辑。故选D项。
七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第1小题中的it，第2小题中的If so，第3小题中的Avoid saying “I”均与上下文或选项中有相呼应的词语。

【题目】 Some psychologists say that community art — art made to be displayed free of charge in a particular community — can make a big difference.
Unlike the random graffiti （涂鸦）that many people consider an eyesore, community art can bring people together and encourage respect. In the U.S. city of Philadelphia, for example, psychologists are doing a citywide project where mental health patients work with average people to paint murals（壁画）. The aim of this project is to reduce the mental illness and promote a new dialogue about people who struggle with these issues.
Art also makes neighborhoods more attractive and has a unique ability to open people up. Neighbors can share comments with one another about a recently painted mural, which can challenge their prejudices and open their eyes to the world.
Businesses can also be promoted by community art. In Fort Smith, a town in the U.S. state of Arkansas, artists from around the globe came together to paint murals. One of the goals of the project was to expand the town's cultural offerings in order to attract more visitors. Not only locals but also tourists were drawn to see the murals. The money they spent while visiting the town benefited local businesses.
Generous financial support is provided for community art projects in many cities and towns. In the UK, the Arts Council England has invested nearly half a million dollars in community art. Some of it, for example, has paid for a new exhibition space created inside an old mill in the town of Brierfield. In the U.S., an organization called the Knight Foundation has invested millions of dollars in community projects, including many that focus on art.
【1】What is the purpose of the community art project in Philadelphia?
A.To replace random graffiti.
B.To deal with the issues about mental illnesses.
C.To promote dialogues about art issues.
D.To encourage respect for psychologists and fine arts.
【2】How does community art open people up?
A.By changing people' s views on prejudices.
B.By giving new life to traditional murals.
C.By providing a subject for conversation.
D.By making neighborhoods more attractive.
【3】What does the text indicate about towns like Fort Smith?
A.They can profit from art economically.
B.They provide inexpensive courses in art.
C.They've placed some restrictions on art.
D.They borrow art from other communities.
【4】What do we know about the community art in the UK?
A.It is limited to rich communities.

【题目】 Food companies engineer junk food to make it addictive. They label their products to make them seem much healthier than they are. Their advertisements target children. All of this is according to a news report read recently by students in a Texas middle school. They were taking part in an experiment run by the University of Chicago and the University of Texas. “I don't understand how this is even legal, ” said a girl who took part in the study.
Researchers had students learn about food-industry advertising strategies. They wanted to know if learning about them would change how kids feel about junk food. All over the world, kids are eating more foods that are high in salt, sugar, and fat. That is partly the result of clever ads that make junk food irresistible. Christopher J. Bryan led the study. He says that when kids question the motives behind junk food ads, they feel like they're fighting injustice. The reward is knowing they are doing the right thing.
Junk food has been linked to health problems such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes，But in 2018，food companies spent nearly $9 billion TV ads selling unhealthy fare. Companies use varying strategies. An ad with cartoon characters may make chips seen fun to eat. A professional athlete enjoying a sugary drink may make it look cool. Advertisers know that if kids want a product, they'll annoy their parents to buy it. Even parents don't notice the power of ads. By the time they are adults they have been used to junk-food advertising. They just don't see it.
In the Texas study, Bryan had students view ads on iPad. Their job was to write or draw on the screen, to make each ad's message true. For example, a McDonald's ad showed a Big Mac (巨无霸) and the words “The thing you want when you order salad. ” To the end of the sentence, a student added “should be salad”.
Three months after analyzing ads, students were still choosing healthier snacks: milk instead of sugary juices, fruit over cookies. Kids are becoming conscious of themselves as agents in the world. They see a chance to make the world a better place.
【1】What is the purpose of the experiment?
A.To survey what snacks children like best.B.To guide children against unhealthy food.
C.To find ways to make junk food healthy.D.To teach children how to pick out legal food.
【2】How do children feel about junk food advertisements after the experiment?
A.Cool.B.Legal.
C.Funny.D.Misleading.
【3】Why are parents unaware of the harm of junk food advertisements?
A.Parents have never seen such junk food advertisements.
B.Advertisements have blinded them since they were young.
C.The food industry has special advertising strategies for parents.
D.Parents have to agree with their children about the junk food.
【4】How did students conduct the experiment?
A.By correcting unreal advertisements.B.By offering suggestions to food industry.
C.By making up their own advertisements.D.By studying food industry advertising strategies.

【题目】 Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or e-DNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.
Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.
Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists in the northwestern United States to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it. She sees e-DNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on diving deep, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.
This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the e-DNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden tree-frogs. And in Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian (两栖动物) diseases.
Ms. Goldberg has used e-DNA testing to confirm the local extinction of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.
Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.
【1】By using e-DNA, Caren Goldberg has ________.
A.succeeded in catching many fishes.
B.found the existence of golden treefrogs.
C.documented the spread of softshell turtles.
D.proved the disappearance of the leopard frog in Idaho.
【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Robots will replace scientists soon.
B.Some scientists are against using e-DNA.
C.The old-fashioned field work may disappear.
D.Many biologists are unwilling to do the field work.
【3】The passage can be sorted as a(n) ________.
A.science fictionB.experiment report
C.science reportD.bio-diversity discovery

【题目】 Harper Lee was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960, which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
For decades, the book was Lee’s only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of US readers.
