Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being.Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes，there is.Please follow the 3 basic steps below.
Relax and breath
Whether it's a business meeting or a first date the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax.
When you relax you are in control.You control your reactions and your reactions do not control you.Breathing is central to relaxation.Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease.This will help you apply what you already know about how to communicate well.
Think and you will be prepared
Have you ever heard the old saying “think before you speak”？Well，it is true.By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow you will be better prepared，
more at ease and more confident.
Follow the flow of the conversation
If you are uncomfortable，being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well.So when all else fails，follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.
A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions.People love to talk about themselves and if you do this they will leave the conversation thinking very highly of you.Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach.If you make an effort，you will succeed.

B
It seems that the great desire among the young is to be popular.The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else.You can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles.
I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter.Margy had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses.I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, entering a new school is like spending a season alone in the tropical jungles.At least that's how Margy found it at first.However, as the school year drew to a close, one student after another came to her.I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school.Nobody can please everyone.If you try to do so, you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.
Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it.They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.
I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave.Our way of life makes a young nonconformist stand out like a Martian.These days there's a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.Well, go to it.Be yourself.Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are.That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.
【语篇解读】 本文作者从自己女儿换了新学校后迅速受到新同学欢迎的事实谈起，批判了那些为迎合他人而放弃自我的行为方式。并就“受欢迎”表达了自己的观点：做真实的自己，别人也会尊重你的本真。
5．Why was the author worried about his daughter's popularity in her new school?
A．She might find no true friends.
B．She would ignore her academic performance. C．She had no idea of her own. D．She might betray her true self.
D [推理判断题。第一段提到为了受欢迎而一味迎合别人的人“can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles，”再由第二段中的“Nobody can please everyone.If you try to do so, you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air”可知，作者认为如果他的女儿在新学校已取得人际交往上的即刻成功的话，那么对作者来说，女儿肯定是违背了真实的自我以取悦他人，使自己变得受欢迎。因此，答案选D。]
6．What does the author think of most teenagers? A．They're afraid of getting lost in life. B．They lack the courage to be truly different. C．They have difficulty understanding each other. D．They find it hard to gain popularity as expected.
B [推理判断题。由第三段的内容“Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it.”可知，一些青少年想要随心所欲地穿衣打扮，但却和大多数人穿得一样：一些人在音乐方面想走不同的路，但最终却还是和大多数人听一样的歌；他们用某种方式思考或做事是因为大家都那样做。由此推断，作者认为大多数青少年缺少真正变得与众不同的勇气。因此，答案选B。]
7．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “nonconformist” in Paragraph 4?
A．Someone who behaves in his own way. B．Someone who desires popularity greatly. C．Someone who cares about others' opinion. D．Someone who wants to please others.
A [词义猜测题。由第四段中的“I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave”可知，此处指想要变得与众不同，走自己的路变得更难了。由此可推知画线词nonconformist指的应是“不遵循常规的人”。因此，答案选A。]
【解题策略】 词义猜测题之解题策略：运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，
