26、your friend might feel as if what he has said need to be continually talked over or sound anything but interesting.(第三段最后一句)译文：虽然或许你打算帮助让谈话继续，但是你的朋友也许会感觉好像他所说的要不断地被讨论或者听起来根本是无趣的。词汇积累：verbally adv.口头上 option n选择 distract v使分心1C 根据下一句“It means trying to see the problem the way the speaker sees it.”可知，

27、C 项“倾听不仅仅是别人讲话时安静地坐在那里”与下文联系密切，且C项中的“Listening”与下一句中的“It”相照应。故选 C。2A 根据下文内容可知，本段主要说明在别人讲话时，不要打扰对方。A 项“在别人讲话时，练习沉默”能够引起下文内容，符合语境。故选 A。3F 本段主要讲述了在别人讲话时，你应不时地点点头，让你的朋友知道你对他所说的感兴趣。所以当你有时点头却心不在焉时，要赶快把注意力转回到你朋友所说的话中。6故选 F。4B 下文提到，要毫不犹豫地告诉你的朋友噪音妨碍了你，由此推断出空格处应指如果受到了噪音的妨碍，可以请求朋友重复一遍。故选 B。5D 根据“No texting or

28、looking at your phone！”可知，D 项“无论谁的电话或者短信都可以等到你的谈话结束再回复”符合本段内容。故选 D。三、短文改错Mike，a famous writer，lives just next door to me.He is always ready give a helping hand to others，but he enjoys great popularity in the neighborhood.He often teaches us how to write stories and encourages me about his own experi

29、ence.He told to me he was born in a poor family.As a little boy，he has a dream to become a famous writer.He worked hardly and overcame thousands of difficulty.Finally，he entered a university in that he wrote many story books.Up till now，aging only forty，he has been very famous around the country.【答案

30、】Mike，a famous writer，lives just next door to me.He is always ready togive a helping hand to others， he enjoys great popularity in the butand/soneighborhood.He often teaches how to write stories and encourages me his own usme about withexperience.He told to me he was born in a poor family.As a littl

31、e boy，he a dream to become a famous writer.He worked and overcame thousands hashad hardly hardof .Finally，he entered a university in he wrote many story difficultydifficulties that whichbooks.Up till now， only forty，he has been very famous around the country.agingaged第一处：ready 后加 to。考查动词不定式。be ready

32、 to do sth.为固定用法，意为“准备好做某事；乐于做某事” 。第二处：but 改为 and/so。考查连词。Mike 乐于助人，因此他在社区很受欢迎。根据语境可知，此处用 and/so连接两个并列分句。第三处：us 改为 me。考查代词。第二段谈及的都是 Mike与作者本人之间的事，所以us改为 me。第四处：about 改为 with。考查介词。Mike 用他自己的经历鼓励作者。with 在此意为“以，使用” 。7第五处：删除 to。考查介词。tell sb.sth.为固定用法，意为“告诉某人某事” 。第六处：has 改为 had。考查时态。根据句中的 As a little boy

33、可知，此处叙述的是过去的事，故用一般过去时。第七处：hardly 改为 hard。考查副词。Mike 学习努力，克服了很多困难。hard“努力地” ，符合语境。hardly 意为“几乎不” 。第八处：difficulty 改为 difficulties。考查名词的数。根据句中的 thousands of可知，此处用名词的复数形式。第九处：that 改为 which。考查定语从句。定语从句的先行词为 university，关系词作介词 in的宾语，所以用“in which”引导定语从句。第十处：aging 改为 aged。考查形容词。aged 为形容词，意为“岁” ，符合语境。四、语法填空Any

34、one who has had a longterm disease knows that recovering at home can be lonely.This can be _1_ (especial) true of children.They may feel _2_ (leave) out.Now, these children may have a hightech friend to help feel less alone.A small robot may help children who are recovering from longterm _3_ (ill)Th

38、解读：病人由于长期患病在家，可能会感觉很孤独，对于孩子更是如此。本文介绍了一种机器人，可以帮助患病的孩子减少孤独感。1especially 设空处修饰形容词 true，要用副词，故填 especially。2left feel 作连系动词，leave out 表示“遗漏；忽略” ，与主语之间是被动关系，8所以用过去分词形式作表语。故填 left。3illness(es) longterm 为形容词，意为“长期的” ，后应接名词。故填 illness(es)。4or 根据句中的 whether可知应填 or，whether .or .为固定搭配，意为“无论还是” 。5are 句意：多尔瓦作为潜心

39、研究机器人的科学家之一，解释了机器人 AV1是如何工作的。本句中，who 引导定语从句，先行词为 scientists，故从句谓语动词应用复数形式；全文主体时态为一般现在时，此处也应用一般现在时。故填 are。6how 句意见上一题解析。设空处引导宾语从句，作 explains的宾语，根据句意，句中缺少状语，表示“方式” ，故用 how引导该从句。7Using 句中已有谓语 can control，因此，设空处应用非谓语动词；use 与其逻辑主语 he or she之间为主动关系，且在句中作方式状语。故填 Using。8to/with be linked to/with .为固定搭配，意为“与连接” 。故填to/with。9equipped be equipped with .为固定搭配，意为“装配有” 。故填equipped。10easier 设空处在定语从句中作 makes的宾语补足语，而且本句暗含比较意义，应用形容词的比较级。故填 easier。
