Question

【題目】 Communication is important for strong family relationships. However, if you don’t truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Working on the following listening skills can help you communicate better.

Listening Actively

Focus on the speaker’s words and not what you'll say next. When listening to a family member, pay attention to what’s being said. When talking to someone, pay attention to the speaker and his thoughts, you can think of how you will reply later.

Make sure the speaker has finished talking before you talk. Instead of starting your reply at once, a couple of seconds of silence is not a bad thing.

Communicating Effectively(有效的)

Retell what has been said. Try to briefly conclude what you have heard when the speaker finishes. It will really show you're listening and allow you and your family to communicate better.

Reflect on what's been said. After talking, reflect briefly on the subject. Try to work out not just what's being said, but also why it is important.

Accept you don' t always have to solve someone's problems.

Avoiding Negative Habits

Do not cut in on others. Interrupting can break effective conversation. Do not start talking until the other person has finished.

Stop from offering advice. Unless you are asked, do not offer advice. Offering advice can make it seem like you're not really listening but to hear what you want.

Do not change the subject early. Never change the subject before the speaker has got their words out, even if a subject makes you bored.

Avoid hurrying the speaker. Never say words like, "Can you get to the point?" This will make it seem like you're not interested in the conversation.

【1】根據(jù)文中Working on the following listening skills can help you communicate better.可知，通過傾聽技巧，你可以更好地與家人溝通。With listening skills具有聽力技巧。根據(jù)句意，故填With。

【2】根據(jù)Listening actively;Communicating effectively;____7____ negative habits，表格提示，可知這里是說怎樣培養(yǎng)成為一個(gè)好的傾聽者的技巧。skill的意思是“技巧”，這里用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填skills。

【5】根據(jù)文中Try to briefly conclude what you have heard when the speaker finishes. It will really show you're listening and allow you and your family to communicate better.可知，這里是說簡(jiǎn)短的結(jié)論可以提醒你演講者所說的話。短語remind sb. of sth.表示提醒某人某事。根據(jù)句意，故填remind。

【8】根據(jù)文中Do not cut in on others. Interrupting can break effective conversation可知，打斷會(huì)使談話不那么有效。這里是不那么有效，less+形容詞的原形，less effective不那么有效。根據(jù)句意，故填less。

【9】根據(jù)文中Do not change the subject early. Never change the subject before the speaker has got their words out, even if a subject makes you bored.可知，即使你覺得這個(gè)話題很無聊，也要讓演講者完全表達(dá)自己。find+賓語+形容詞，做賓語補(bǔ)足語。find the subject boring發(fā)現(xiàn)話題無聊。故填boring。

【10】根據(jù)文中Avoid hurrying the speaker. Never say words like, "Can you get to the point?" This will make it seem like you're not interested in the conversation.可知，把演講者趕在你談話之前是不禮貌的。hurry的意思是“催促”，根據(jù)句意，故填hurry。

讀全文，了解大意

明確任務(wù)后，要迅速閱讀全文來了解文章主要內(nèi)容，以及文章的感情基調(diào)、作者的意圖等。因?yàn)榇蠹抑�道在材料后的問題設(shè)置中，經(jīng)常有對(duì)文章大意的考查。對(duì)于概括大意的題目，需要全篇考慮，這類題目有時(shí)可以從文中直接找到答案，但有時(shí)需要用自己的話來概括。這類題難度較大，對(duì)文章還得再讀一讀，才能總結(jié)出來。

除此之外，還經(jīng)�？疾榻o文章擬標(biāo)題。這類題目可以通過尋找主題句和高頻詞來完成。主題句往往是首句或尾句，但如果沒有主題句，就可以從短文中去提煉、概括。確定標(biāo)題同學(xué)們必須遵循兩個(gè)原則，第一個(gè)是標(biāo)題要有概括性，就是說標(biāo)題應(yīng)在最大程度上覆蓋全文，體現(xiàn)文章的中心大意；第二個(gè)是標(biāo)題要醒目，即標(biāo)題要吸引讀者的注意力。

再次閱讀，逐題突破

第一遍泛讀之后，同學(xué)們對(duì)后面的問題，已經(jīng)有所了解，然后大家就可以用跳讀的方式來尋找答案。還有一類情況大家要注意，就是要求同學(xué)們要解讀深層含義的題。這一類題屬于難度較大的題。在做這一類型題的時(shí)候，同學(xué)們要捕捉文章中有關(guān)的信息，把握文章的內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系，立足原文，從字里行間捕捉一些線索，悟出作者想表達(dá)的深層含義。

通讀全文，仔細(xì)檢查

在完成所有任務(wù)后，同學(xué)們還應(yīng)結(jié)合題目再把全文通讀一遍，認(rèn)真核實(shí)答案，同時(shí)必須檢查一下書寫是否規(guī)范，句子的時(shí)態(tài)、人稱、單復(fù)數(shù)、語態(tài)、詞性、主謂搭配等是否正確，這是答題的最后一步，也是很關(guān)鍵的一步。
