倒数第13天(5月24日)(2020江西卷)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 elses 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 dont want to hear.It wasnt 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 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 patients 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.1The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in Paragraph 2 probably means _.Apreparing a topic list firstBfocusing on ones own mindCdirecting the talk to the desired resultsDexperiencing the speakers inside world解析词义猜测题。stepping into his or her shoes意思是“设身处地地考虑别人的感受”，在本题中与D项的意思最为相符。答案D2What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?AHow to listen well.BWhat to listen to.CBenefits of listening.DProblems in listening.解析段落大意题。第二段分析的是listening well所包含的要素。答案A3According to the author，in communication people tend to _.Alisten activelyBlisten purposefullyCset aside their prejudicesDopen up their inner mind解析细节理解题。根据第三段的“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.”可知B项正确。答案B4According to the author，the patients improved mainly because _.Athey were taken good care ofBthey knew they were truly listened toCthey had partners to talk toDthey knew the roots of problems解析细节理解题。根据最后一段“.I believe，was the patients 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.”可知B项符合题意。答案B5What type of writing is the article likely to be?AScience fiction.
