It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as “bracketing”. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear.It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic（有疗效的）.In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy（心理疗法）,before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.28. The phrase "stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means.B. focusing onA. preparing a topic list firstone's own mindC. directing the talk to the desired results D. experiencing the speaker's inside world29. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. How to listen well.B. What to listento.C. Benefits of listening.D. Problems inlistening30. According to the author, in communication people tend toA. listen activelypurposeC. set aside their prejudicesinner mind31. What type of writing the article likely to be? A. Science fiction B. A news report. D.Popular scienceDB. listen onD. open up theirC. A medical report.London's newest skyscraper （摩天大楼）is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire （尖顶）.He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren't regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts （桅杆）of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.32. London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of.A. its costB. its size C. its shapeD. its height33. When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to.A. change London's skylineB.followLondon'straditionC. copy the Egyptian styleD.attractpotentialvisitors34. The critics who refer to social division think the Shard.A. is only preferred by the richB. is intended forwealthy peopleC. is far away from the poor areaD. is popular only withLondoners35. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Cheers and Cl叩sB. The Shard: Work of aGreat ArchitectC. The Shard: New Symbol of London? D. The Shard: A Changefor the Better?第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选 项中有两项是多余选项。Public Speaking TrainingGet a coach36，so get help. Since there are about a billion companiesout there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 37 so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do. 38If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. 39 As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.You are a special person not a cloneMost importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 40 Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.A. You aren't like anybody elseB. You already do lots of things wellC. Turn your back on too many rulesD. Check the rules about dos and don*tsE.
