18、a. He was on his way to a camp near Henderson Creek. His friends were already there. He expected to reach Henderson Creek by six oclock that evening. It would be dark by then.He continued his way until he came to a frozen stream called Indian Creek. He began to walk on the snow-covered ice. It was a

19、 trail that would lead him straight to Henderson Creek and his friends.Then he had to walk around a part of the frozen stream, where an underground spring flowed under the ice, which made the ice thin. If he stepped there, he might break through the ice into a pool of water. To get his boots wet in

20、such cold weather might kill him. At a place where the snow seemed very solid, the ice suddenly broke. The mans feet sank into the water. It was not deep, but his legs got wet to the knees. Now he had to build a fire to dry his clothes and boots. He collected pieces of dry grass and wood, pulled off

21、 his gloves, took out his matches, and lit the fire. Now, the fire was beginning to burn strongly. He was safe. He sat under the tree and thought of the old men in Fairbanks. They had told him that no man should travel alone when the temperature was sixty degrees below zero. Yet here he was. He had

22、had an accident so he was alone. And to save himself, he had built a fire.Suddenly, without warning, a heavy mass of snow dropped down just onto the fire. He reached into his pocket for the matches again. But his fingers were frozen. He couldnt hold them and all the matches fell onto the snow. He tr

26、e still had ways to start another fire.C. He regretted not taking the old mens advice.D. He was spotted and rescued by his friends.CThe word listen, as is shown in Longman Dictionary, means paying attention to what someone is saying or to a sound that you can hear. Listening is definitely an importa

27、nt skill in communication. “When people talk, listen completely.” Those words of Ernest Hemingway might be a pretty good guiding principle for many managers. After all, people like being listened to.Some firms use a technique known as a “listening circle”. In such a circle, only one person can talk

28、about the issues they face at a time and there is no interruption. A study cited in the Harvard Business Review found that employees who had taken part in a listening circle subsequently suffered less social anxiety and had fewer worries about work-related matters than those who did not.Listening ha

29、s been critical to the career of Richard Mullender, who was a hostage (人质) negotiator, dealing with everything from suicide interventions to international kidnaps (绑架). He defines listening as “the identification, selection and interpretation of the key words”. It is crucial to all effective communi

30、cation.Plenty of people think that good listening is about nodding your head or keeping eye contact. But that is not really listening, Mr Mullender argues. A good listener is always looking for facts, emotions and indications of the other persons values. Another important point to bear in mind is th

31、at, when you talk, you are not listening. The listeners focus should be on analysis.Of course, a listener needs to speak occasionally. One approach is to make an assessment of what the other person is telling you and then check it with them. For example, you can check with the other person by saying

32、 “It seems to me that what you want is”. That gives the other party a sense that they are being understood. The fundamental aim is to build up a relationship so the other person likes you and trusts you, Mr Mullender says.8. What can we learn about a “listening circle”?A. A listening circle focuses

33、on personal issues.B. In a listening circle, a speaker wont be interrupted.C. A listening circle increases worries about work-related matters.D.

34、l.B. Opposed.C. Cautious.D. Favorable.10. Why should we be good listeners?A. To be liked and trusted by the other person.B. To check our assessments with the other person.C. To make assessments of what the other person is saying.D. To have a sense of being understood by the other person.11. Whats th

35、e best title of the text?A. The Analysis of a Listening CircleB. The Tricks of Successful ListeningC. The Misunderstanding of ListeningD. The Necessity of Effective ListeningDMost people enjoy variety. We like to eat different foods from meal to meal. We wear different clothes. We like to try new ac

36、tivities and visit new places. We become bored when there is little variety. Nevertheless, theres one place where we tend to dislike variety, and thats in each other. We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits, or hold beliefs or values that we do not share.There are reaso

37、ns for this. When we are exposed to new and different things, our brain works a bit harder than usual. When were learning, our nerve cells require more resources, such as water, salt, and various other chemicals. This extra metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity can feel unsettling and unpleasant. And it can fe

38、el worse if our nervous system is already under pressure, like in the midst of the pandemic.This sort of variation may be uncomfortable for individuals, but its critical to the survival of any species. If all finches (雀科鸣鸟) were identical, for example, and their environment changed in some significa

39、nt, harmful ways, like an increase in the temperature or a decrease in water, all of them would be equally affected and the species might become extinct. This insight into variation comes from Charles Darwin, and its known as population thinking. Most people associate Darwin with his evolutionary th

40、eory of natural selection, but population thinking may be an even greater scientific achievement. The idea of “survival of the fittest” implies that individuals must vary. Some are more suited than others for a given environment, making it easier for them to survive, grow, and reproduce. Variation i

41、s therefore a prerequisite for natural selection to work.Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can be demanding and even annoying at times, but its a good investment, sort of like exercise for your brain. When you meet someone who looks different or thinks differently from you, treat your disco

42、mfort as a cue to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem. Dont hold the view that the other person should be silenced. Ultimately, this mindset can make you more flexible in adapting to challenging situations, and more adaptable to change.12. Which of the following might make people f

45、er mainly want to convey?A. Why we tend to chase and enjoy variation.B. How we can benefit from seeking variation.C. How we should treat the differences we find in others.D. Why we should get along with people different from us.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。“Just

46、 think positively!”“It could be worse.”“You should look at the bright side!”Weve all heard (and maybe used) these phrases without much thought. But they could be contributing to a culture of toxic (有毒的) positivity. For those new to this term, it might sound like an oxymoron (矛盾修辞法). How can positivi

47、ty be toxic? Isnt it supposed to be helpful, or “positive”, as the name suggests?_16_“Toxic positivity is when somebody avoids all negative thoughts or feelings, pretending everything is going well when it is not,” explains Melissa Dowd, a therapist at PlushCare, a virtual health platform. Whitney G

48、oodman, another licensed psychotherapist, describes toxic positivity as the “endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are.”_17_Its also something we can cause other people to experience.Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse. _18_“Although it can be helpful to look on the bright side when facing challenges,” Dowd says, “not coping with negative feelings
