If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is __18__ to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n) __19__ subject to which a response may well be __20__ of even the most reserved of the British.

　　语篇解读：英国人安静、保守，陌生人之间很少交谈，但他们却非常喜欢谈论天气，因此，天气也就成为了与英国人开始一段谈话的常用话题。

　　C．amused D．exhausted

　　答案：A　relaxed意为“放松的”；frustrated意为“沮丧的，挫败的”；amused意为“愉悦的”；exhausted意为“疲惫的，耗尽的”。根据第一段第二句中的“When a stranger is present，he often seems nervous”可知，英国人只在其熟悉的人面前感到放松，故A项正确。

　　2．A．yet B．otherwise

　　C．even D．so

　　答案：C　yet意为“然而”；otherwise意为“否则，另外”；even意为“甚至”；so意为“所以”。句意为：在陌生人面前，英国人会显得紧张，甚至感到尴尬。此处表示递进关系，故C项正确。

　　3．A．experience B．witness

　　C．watch D．undertake

　　答案：B　experience意为“经历，体验”；witness意为“目击，证明”；watch意为“观察”；undertake意为“承担；允诺”。根据本段最后一句所描述的商务人士在火车上的表现可知此处表示“在任意一个早上或者晚上乘通勤车的时候，你都可以证明这一事实”，故B项正确。

　　4．A．whispering B．murmuring

　　C．nodding D．laughing

　　答案：C　whisper意为“耳语，低声说”；murmur意为“低语”；nod意为“点头”；laugh意为“嘲笑”。上文提到在陌生人面前，英国人会显得紧张，再结合此空后的hardly anybody talks可知，表情严肃的商人和女士坐在那里看报纸或者在角落里打盹儿。nod off意为“打瞌睡，打盹”，为固定短语，符合语境。

　　5．A．Hopefully B．Exactly

　　C．Frequently D．Obviously

　　答案：D　句意为：显然，在英国有个不成文但人尽皆知的行为准则， 一旦有人打破这一准则，这个人就会立刻成为被批评的对象。hopefully意为“有希望地，有前途地”；exactly意为“恰好地，精确地”；frequently意为“频繁地”；obviously意为“显然地，显而易见地”。根据语境可知D项正确。

　　9．A．at length B．at last

　　C．at most D．at least

　　答案：A　at length意为“长时间地”；at last意为“最后，终于”；at most意为“至多”；at least意为“至少”。根据语境可知此处表示英国人如有机会就会畅谈天气，故A项正确。

　　10．A．always B．often

　　C．constantly D．seldom

　　答案：D　根据11空后的the weathermen, whose predictions，in many cases，__12__ to be wrong可知，英国的天气预报很少是准确的，故此处用seldom“几乎不”。

　　11．A．faith B．relief

　　C．honor D．credit

　　答案：A　faith意为“信仰，信念”；relief意为“宽慰；减轻”；honor意为“荣耀，荣誉”；credit意为“信任”。因为天气预报很少准确，英国人当然不能非常相信气象预报员。have faith in sb.意为“信任某人”，为固定短语，故A项正确。

　　答案：D　此处考查结构make reference to的用法，意为“谈及，提及”，为固定搭配，故D项正确。

　　15．A．started B．conducted

　　C．disadvantage D．favor

　　答案：B　benefit意为“好处，益处”；advantage意为“优势，有利条件”；disadvantage意为“缺点，不利条件”；favor意为“喜爱，欢心”。to one's advantage表示“对……有利”，为固定搭配。

　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. 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. 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 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 the 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.

　　语篇解读：倾听是一门艺术，真正的倾听就是要放下自己的欲望，设身处地地去为对方着想。

　　1．The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

　　A．preparing a topic list first

　　B．focusing on one's own mind

　　C．directing the talk to the desired results

　　D．experiencing the speaker's inside world

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句中的“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...”可知，此处画线部分表示“设身处地”为对方着想，故选D项。

　　2．What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?

　　A．How to listen well. B．What to listen to.

　　C．Benefits of listening.D．Problems in listening.

　　答案：A　主旨大意题。根据第二段内容尤其是第一句可知，本段介绍如何仔细倾听对方。

　　3．According to the author, in communication people tend to________.

　　A．listen activelyB．listen purposefully

　　C．set aside their prejudicesD．open up their inner mind

　　答案：B　推理判断题。从文章第二段最后一句可知，在交流中，人们往往仔细倾听对方，以此使交谈的双方都获得发展，由此可知，交流过程中倾听具有目的性。

　　4．According to the author, the patients improved mainly because ________.

　　A．they were taken good care of

　　B．they knew they were truly listened to

　　C．they had partners to talk to

　　D．they knew the roots of problems

　　答案：B　推理判断题。从文章最后一段最后一句可知，当作者的病人感觉自己被认真倾听时，他的病情有了很大的好转，故B项正确。

　　5．What type of writing is the article likely to be?

　　A．Science fiction.B．A news report.

　　C．A medical report.D．Popular science.

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章阐述的内容，作者论述倾听对方的重要性，以及如何倾听对方，故可推断文章应该出现在大众杂志。
