Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if its given from the heart. When people are talking, theres no need to do anything but receive them. Just take them in. Listen to what theyre saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it.When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief of having someone just listen.I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues (纸巾), until I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them down, to take them out of their experience of sadness and grief (悲痛；悲伤). Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too timid to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the wellintentioned (出于好心的) words.1When we communicate with others we had better _.Alisten more Bunderstand moreCspeak more Dlook here and there2If we interrupt what someone is saying, _.Athey may think we are too rude to themBthey must be very angry with usCthey may know we dont care about themDthey must stop and listen to us3Passing a person who is crying a tissue perhaps means _.Astopping them from crying any moreBstopping them from saying anythingCadvising them to have a restDhelping them to accept the sadness4It is very difficult for us to learn to listen because _.Awe may know the answerBwe have an interesting topicCparents teach us to speakDit goes against what we have been taughtBThe weather affects many aspects of peoples daily life. Knowing and understanding what the weather is doing will be useful.However, the weather is also one of the most unpredictable elements in the world. Although many people watch the morning news gathering the information that is needed about the weather, this is often wrong. Whole days can be ruined by believing that the weather will be one thing, when it turns out to be another. However, owning wireless weather stations allows the owners to monitor the weather for themselves.Not only will these weather stations allow the owners to see what the weather is doing, but it is personalized to them and their area. Wireless weather stations are specifically for the immediate neighborhood. Plans will be able to be made, and important decisions will no longer be ruined by bad weather.Although these weather stations are typically seen in homes, they can also be used very easily on farms and fishing boats. Both farmers and fishermen rely on the weather for their business and using uptodate weather information is essential. By using the wireless weather stations, they can determine when to harvest crops and head back to the shore. Due to the light size of the weather stations, they can be moved very easily and used anywhere they are needed.Although the wireless weather stations are great for all homes, they are especially useful for areas that suffer from extreme weather conditions.The uptodate, instant weather reports will allow a person to monitor what the weather is doing and if the bad weather is heading in their direction. Extreme weather tends to come very quickly; therefore, any information that is received is helpful.The weather stations are very simple to set up and are run by solar panels (太阳能电池板), ensuring they will work even if there is a power cut.5Whats the main idea of the text?AThe weather and its effects on peoples daily life.BGood reasons for having wireless weather stations.CThe weather the most unpredictable element in the world.DThe importance of knowing and understanding the weather.6With the second paragraph, the author intends to _.Amake it clear how popular the morning news isBshow us how unpredictable the weather used to beCexplain the value of having wireless weather stationsDshow how people got weather information in the past7What can we learn about a wireless weather station?AA power failure cant affect its work.BIt will substitute TVs weather report.CIt is hard to set up but can be moved easily.DThe information it provides is slow but specific.8Comparatively speaking, a wireless weather station will be most useful to _.ATV weather reportersBpower plantsCfishermen working far out at seaDprofessors and students in universities课下能力提升(十五).1.rank2.subjective3.yawned4.false 5function6.facial7.anger8.ease9truly10.respectful.1.losing face2.at ease3.function as4.turned his back to5.look away from.1.How/What about inviting him2.even if/though it rains3.doesnt function.1解析：选C根据下文中的“Some people use pigeons for . ”和“Some people also .”可知，人们因不同的“目的(purposes)”养不同种类的鸽子。2解析：选A根据下一句中的“people cook a special meal with pigeon”可知，有人为了“食物(food)”而养鸽子。3解析：选B根据上文中的“pigeon keepers”可知，此处指“养(keep)”鸽子。4解析：选A根据下一句中的“pretty pigeons”可知，有些人养鸽子是因为鸽子看起来非常“漂亮(beautiful)”。5解析：选D该空后的“long, soft tails or designs on their heads”是举例说明该空前的“interesting features”，故选such as。6解析：选B根据该段的整体语境可知此处指鸽子的“主人(owners)”。7解析：选B根据后半句中的“the best looking pigeons are chosen to win prizes”可知，鸽子的主人将鸽子送去参加“比赛(competitions)”。8解析：选A根据该段接下来的“Pigeons can fly a long way”和“pigeons can usually fly back”等可知，鸽子还有其他多项“技能(skills)”。9解析：选B鸽子可以飞行很长距离而不会感到“疲惫(tired)”。10解析：选A鸽子的恋巢意识是一种“特殊的(special)”意识。11解析：选A根据前半句中的“how far from home they are”可知，鸽子通常都会飞回它们“住(live)”的地方。12解析：选C根据常识可知，鸽子可以传递“信息(messages)”。13解析：选D“pigeons live in special houses”和“pigeon keepers spend a lot of money and time”之间是并列关系，故选and。14解析：选C养鸽子的人会花大量的金钱和时间“照顾(caring for)”鸽子。15解析：选B根据前半句中的“a very good pigeon”可知，人们为自己有一只好鸽子而感到“自豪(proud)”。16解析：选C根据下一句中的“they keep pigeons as a hobby”可知，赚钱并不是人们养鸽子的主要“原因(reason)”。17解析：选A解析见下题。18解析：选A人们如此“喜欢(love)”鸽子以至于他们搬去一个新的国家时也会“带上(take . along)”鸽子。19解析：选B对于这些养鸽人来说，他们已经将鸽子“看成是(consider)”自己的孩子。20解析：选D根据该空前的“a pigeon in the sky”可知，天空中自由飞翔的鸽子也会让在陌生国度的人感到“自由(free)”。.1解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段可知，在谈话过程中，“倾听”是最有效的方法，很多时候它甚至比听明白更重要。故答案为A。2解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段中的“. we move the focus of attention to ourselves.”可知，打断对方说话，无非是把注意力移向自己，这向对方传递的信息就是：我们不在意他们的谈话内容。故答案为C。3解析：选A推理判断题。第三段谈到作者的个人经历，结合下文中的“shut down (阻止)”可知，当对方哭的时候递给对方纸巾，是想让对方停止“哭泣”。故答案为A。4解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句可知，虽然我们知道了“倾听”在谈话中很重要，但是要我们做到却很不容易，主要是因为这与我们从小所接受的教育相违背。故答案为D。5解析：选B主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了无线的、小型气象站的一些独特优势，因此答案B是最佳选项。6解析：选C推理判断题。在第二段中作者先介绍天气预报的缺点，然后引出自己想要表达的主题：小型气象站的优点。故答案为C。7解析：选A推理判断题。文章最后一段的最后一句“they will work even if there is a power cut”可以推断出即使停电，这种天气预告机器也会照常工作。8解析：选C细节理解题。文章第四段提到小型的无线气象站对于渔民或者农民来说，非常有帮助，因此C项正确。
