I met the last speaker of Naati on an empty stretch of beach on Malekula，an island in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu.I told the man，Ariep，that I was in the country to study one of its native languages.When he learned I was a linguist，he excitedly shared that he speaks Naati.
Ariep explained the relationship between Naati and the other languages of the area.With a mix of pride and sorrow，he revealed that he is the last fluent speaker of Naati.Although a few of his family members have some knowledge of the language and make an effort to use it together，he fears that with his death，Naati will soon disappear.Naati's situation is not unique.Of the about 7000 languages spoken on the planet today，50%to 90%are considered vulnerable to extinction by the end of the century.
Languages are an invaluable source of culture.Understanding different languages is vital to understanding human cognition.A world with diverse languages benefits us all.Each language isa piece of the puzzle that we need in order to determine how language works in the mind.With each missing piece，we are further from seeing the full picture.
There are enough commonalities among language systems.In terms of sentence structure，all languages use the three basic elements：subject，object，and verb.Although these can be ordered in different ways，about 80%of known languages put the subject first，while only about1%put the object first.Analyzing these patterns has real impacts for our lives.The more we understand about how language functions，the better equipped we are to improve our therapies for communication disorders and our methods for language teaching.
However，taking into account all languages is a huge challenge.Many languages are in danger of disappearing before they have been documented，taking with them irreplaceable information about human culture.For the sake of the speakers of endangered languages，for the sake of us all，we must preserve the world's languages as we search for answers and work to ensure language diversity for generations to come.
4. What do we know about Ariep？ ______
A. He looks forward to leaving Malekula.
B. He speaks many foreign languages fluently.
C. He is worried about the disappearance of Naati.
D. He is devoted to studying endangered languages.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about？ ______
A. Ways to break down language barriers.
B. The significance of language diversity.
C. Reasons for the extinction of languages.
D. The impact of human cognition on languages.
6. Why does the author mention sentence structure in paragraph 4？ ______
A. To show the difficulty of learning grammar.
B. To present the functions of language systems.
C. To analyze the methods of language teaching.
D. To prove the connection among different languages.
7. What is the best title of the text？ ______
A. How Do Native Languages Develop？
B. Why Are Languages Worth Preserving？
C. How Can We Protect Endangered Languages？
D. What Makes Naati Unique in Human Language？
C
More than a third of the world's population lives in drylands，areas that experience significant water shortages.Engineers and scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a unique solution to help people in these areas access clean drinking water.
They developed a low-cost gel film （凝胶膜） that can pull water from the air in even the driest climate.Combining two simple ingredients，cellulose and konjac gum，the gel is inexpensive to produce.Just one kilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate.For those living in a climate with relative humidity，one kilogram of gel can collect up to13 liters of water a day.As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make，it may offer a way of providing drinking water to countries with water shortages.
Previously，researchers have harvested fresh water from fog and dew，but that only serves areas with high humidity.Other attempts at pulling water from desert air are typically energy-intensive and do not produce much.In fact，this gel is a vast improvement from previous water harvesting technologies.The maximum water harvested has been 5.87 liters in places with relative humidity.This new gel doubles this amount，uses no energy and is simple to operate and it can be molded into a shape or size that best suits the user.
"This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest，driest places on Earth， "said Guihua Yu，professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. "This could allow millions of people without consistent access to drinking water to have simple，water generating devices at home that they can easily operate."
"This is not something you need an advanced degree to use，" the paper's lead author，Youhong "Nancy" Guo said. "It's enough that anyone can make it at home if they have the materials." Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel that will increase the yield，making this technology a practicable solution to drought.
8. What do we know about the gel film from paragraph 2？ ______
A. It can increase the humidity of the air.
B. It can harvest drinking water from the air.
C. It has been widely applied in desert areas.
D. It costs lots of money and energy to produce.
9. What is Guihua Yu's attitude towards the new water-harvesting method？ ______
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Unfavourable. D. Hopeful.
10. What does the underlined word straightforward in paragraph 5 mean？ ______
A. Plain. B. Obvious. C. Tough. D. Direct.
11. What will scientists intend to do next？ ______
A. Develop a thicker gel.
B. Produce the gel on a large scale.
C. Raise money for further research.
D. Teach people to make the gel at home.
D
Beautiful coral reefs （珊瑚礁） in Thai seas have been gradually worsening due to global warming that causes coral bleaching，in addition to certain human activities without proper control and environmental consciousness.Recently，researchers from Thai university Chulalongkorn have created 3 D-printed coral reefs modeled on the nature of real corals called Innovareef to accelerate the recovery of the coral reef ecosystem.
Innovareef corals are coated with calcium and phosphate nutrients that corals need to thrive and consist of flat surfaces.The reefs' holes serve as habitats and hiding places for many sea animals.Artificial reefs also make use of hydrodynamics technology to enhance their resistance to tidal forces and ensure that they stay in place.Finally，the pH （level of acidity） of the selected type of cement used for the reefs is close to that of seawater，and the design concept is that of Lego，easily assembled （组装） and disassembled blocks that are easy to transport and fix.
"The Innovareef is not too large.It's light-weighted and can be carried by anyone thus saving transportation costs.You can simply put it at any desired location in the sea and then dive down to put all the units together to complete the Innovareef.Not even five minutes afterward，fish and several ocean creatures start to come in to survey and make it their new habitat，leading to biodiversity around the Innovareef.More importantly，the research data indicates that the settlement and growth rates of planula on the Innovareef are better than those on other artificial reefs，" said Associate Professor Dr.Nantarika Chansue at Chulalongkorn University.
Innovareef is the hope for the effective recovery of natural coral reefs.Now the team is focused on adding more details to the reefs to adapt to more species so that the new structures look more like natural reefs.
12. What function is expected of the Innovareef？ ______
A. To extend the life of corals.
B. To monitor the growth of corals.
C. To help restore natural coral reefs.
D. To protect coral reefs from human destruction.
13. What do we know about the Innovareef from paragraph 2？ ______
A. It is highly resistant to heat.
B. It has low manufacturing costs.
C. It provides rich nutrients for fish.
D. It is portable and easy to assemble.
14. What are Dr.Nantarika Chansue's words mainly about？ ______
A. The advantages of the Innovareef.
B. The inspiration for the Innovareef.
C. The methods of improving ocean habitats.
D. The importance of protecting biodiversity.
15. What do the researchers probably mean by saying "adding more details"？ ______
A. Apply the Innovareef on a large scale.
B. Carry out more tests on more species.
C. Make a specific design of the Innovareef.
D. Conduct further research on natural coral reefs.
Just as weight training helps us build and strengthen the muscles of our body, practicing deep listening builds and strengthens our capacity to listen. Every day we are presented with opportunities to practice being truly present with others. Here are some tips for building your deep listening “muscle”:
Connect with yourself first. One of the best ways to build our capacity to listen deeply to others is to practice slowing down, turning our attention inward, and being present with our own experience—with our own thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. (1)
Make time. Deep listening requires our time. It may be helpful to build regular, intentional time into your schedule to truly be present with people you love. For couples, this could be a once-a-week check-in in which you give each other space to discuss what is on your mind and in your heart. For parents, the walk or drive home from school may be good opportunities to check in with your child and simply be present for whatever comes up. (2) The important thing is that we make time.
Minimize distractions. Many of us have become master multi-taskers, splitting our attention between multiple tasks and flicking between tabs on our screens. (3) Even young children can tell when adults in their lives are distracted, and research shows that parentsˈ increased distraction can take a toll on childrenˈs development. Therefore, it is important to minimize distractions during the time we devote to deep listening.
(4) Mindful listening is all about paying attention and noticing, and this includes noticing when tension, anxiety, or distraction arise. Often, these signal a desire to move away from being with the person and towards doing—for example, interrupting, changing the topic, or trying to “fix” the problem. When this tendency arises, simply notice it. Name it silently, and gently return to listening.
Be gentle with yourself. Many people didnˈt experience deep listening in their childhood and enter adulthood with a limited capacity for listening to and being with othersˈ emotions. We tend to fall back on the communication styles and habits that we experienced in our family of origin, even if these are unhelpful in our adult relationships. (5) Thankfully, deep listening does not require perfection; it requires awareness.
A．Build a routine that works for you and your loved ones, whatever that looks like.
B．Notice the urge to move away and choose to come back.
C．Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person.
D．Thus, for those of us who were not listened to as children, this type of listening takes practice.
E．Deep listening canˈt be just another tab open; it requires our full mind and heart to show up.
F．Notice when these old tendencies are present and appreciate that it takes time to learn to communicate differently.
G．In other words, by listening deeply to ourselves and connecting with our own experience, it becomes easier to do so for others.

So I did.When I lost my balance，I (32) crumpled to the floor.Mrs.Burks was right!It didn't (33) as much.I was able to get up faster and try again.
Later I began to see how Mrs.Burks' instructions worked for other (34).As long as I kept trying to do my best，I could learn something even when I (35).I could get back up，try again，and understand it's all right to fall.

It's Best To Just Be Yourself There is nothing like being young and eager to meet a pretty girl.I was sixteen when it first happened.Her name was Mary；she was one grade ahead and the most beautiful girl in the entire school.I was smaller than the rest of the guys my age but had many friends.I would walk by her locker （储物柜），act cool and do just about anything to gain her attention.
Nothing worked.
I often pondered to myself，How would such a beautiful and amazing girl ever fall for a guy like me？I constantly thought that if I were a "cool guy，" she would eventually have to notice.Once，I "accidentally" dropped my letter jacket by her feet，just so she would note my varsity （校队） pins一and me.
She only laughed.
Then，at a weekend gathering one evening，she was there with all of her frightening friends.I decided that this had to be it；I couldn't live with myself one second more without at least trying to talk to her.I checked my ego at the door and decided to be myself.She was alone outside for one moment，and all I can remember is that she was so incredibly beautiful it made me dizzy.I walked up to her and said， "Hi，I'm Mark.You seem really nice；can we talk？ "My belly rolled with butterflies while my head rushed with anxiety.
Time stood still for a moment.
She replied， "I know who you are；you're different when your friends aren't around. "And then she smiled and said， "I'm walking up the street to meet a friend.Would you like to go？ "I could hardly breathe：How could this beautiful girl ever talk to a guy like me？Needless to say，we walked and talked，and she was everything I thought she would ever be.We giggled about the world and how stupid our friends and we were.

16~20.【答案】G、A、E、B、F
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一些倾听技巧。
1. 根据前文One of the best ways to build our capacity to listen deeply toothers is to practice slowing down, turning our attention inward, and being present with our own experience—with our own thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.(培养我们深入倾听他人的能力的最好方法之一是练习慢下来，把我们的注意力转向内部，专注于我们自己的经历——我们自己的思想、情绪和身体的感觉)”可知此处是在说，学会倾听他人，要先学会倾听自己，所以G项In other words, by listening deeply to ourselves and connecting with our own experience, it becomes easier to do so for others.(换言之，通过深入倾听自己并与自己的经历联系起来，相对于对他人做同样的事来说，会更容易)是对前一句的进一步解释说明，符合文意。
2.
根据前文It may be helpful to build regular, intentional time into your schedule to truly be present with people you love.(在你的时间表中安排有规律的、特意的时间来真正与你爱的人在一起可能会很有帮助)可知，本段主要说腾出时间和你爱的人在一起，所以A项Build a routine that works for you and your loved ones, whatever that looks like.(建立一个适合你和你爱的人的日常生活，无论是什么样子)是对前文的总结，符合文意。
3. 根据前文Minimize distractions. Many of us have become master multi-taskers, splitting our attention between multiple tasks and flicking between tabs on our screens.(减少干扰。我们中的许多人已经成为一心多用的高手，在多个任务之间分散注意力，在屏幕上切换标签)以及后文Even young children can tell when adults in their lives are distracted, and research shows that parents’ increased distraction can take a toll on children’s development.(即使是年幼的孩子也能分辨出他们生活中的成年人什么时候分心了，研究表明，父母越来越多的分心会对孩子的发展造成损害)可知，本段是在讲，在倾听他人说话时，应该全身心的投入，不要做别的事分心，所以E项Deep listening can’t be just another tab open; it requires our full mind and heart to show up.(深度倾听不能只是打开另一个标签；它需要我们全身心的投入)是这两句的过渡句，符合文意。
4.
分析设空可知，位于段首，是本段的主题句，所以根据后文Mindful listening is all about paying attention and noticing, and this includes noticing when tension, anxiety, or distraction arise.... When this tendency arises, simply notice it. Name it silently, and gently return to listening.(用心倾听就是关注和注意，这包括注意紧张、焦虑或分心的时候。通常，这些信号表明，人们渴望远离与他人在一起，转而做一些事情，例如，打断、改变话题或试图“解决”问题。当这种倾向出现时，只需注意它。默默地说出它的名字，然后轻轻地回到倾听)可知，本段是在说，倾听他人时，我们有时不想听了，想要离开，要注意这种冲动，并最终回到倾听中去，所以B项Notice the urge to move away and choose to come back.(注意想要离开的冲动，并选择回来)符合文意。
5.
根据前文Many people didn’t experience deep listening in their childhood ... that we experienced in our family of origin, even if these are unhelpful in our adult relationships.(许多人在童年时没有经历过深入倾听，进入成年后，他们倾听和处理他人情感的能力有限。我们倾向于回到我们在原生家庭中经历过的沟通方式和习惯，即使这些对我们成年后的关系没有帮助)可知，本段主要在讲述如何处理过去的经历对自己倾听能力的影响，F项“Notice when these old tendencies are present and appreciate that it takes time to learn to communicate differently.(当这些旧的倾向出现时，请注意并意识到学习以不同的方式交流需要时间)”是在说如何处理的方法，符合文意。

近几年高考试题中的完形填空有新的变化，试题所涉及的知识面不断拓宽，综合难度不断提高。做完形填空首先要通读全文，了解大意。一篇完形填空的文章有许多空格，所以，必须先通读一至两遍，才能大概了解文章的内容。千万不要看一句，做一句。其次要逐句分析，前后一致。选择答案时，要考虑整个句子的内容，包括搭配、时态、语法等。答案全填完后，再通读一遍文章，检查是否通顺流畅，用词得当，意思正确。
36.【答案】when
【解析】（1）考查定语从句。句意：总有一个时候，旧的必须让位于新的，在我们走向未来的时候，不可能保留过去的一切。设空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a time，关系词在从句中做时间状语，故填when。
（2）考查动词不定式。句意：总有一个时候，旧的必须让位于新的，在我们走向未来的时候，不可能保留过去的一切。本句中的it为形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式，故填to preserve。
（3）考查副词。句意：然而，巨大的挑战有时可以带来伟大的解决方案。设空处修饰整个句子，用副词作状语，表转折，故填however。
（4）考查可数名词的单数。句意：但这项新提议引发了抗议。设空处为主语，应用名词形式，前面有定冠词，所以用名词单数特指，故填proposal。
（5）考查动词时态。句意：在听取了研究这一问题的科学家的意见后，政府于1959年向联合国寻求帮助。设空处为从句谓语，根据主句的时态，可知发生在过去的过去，对过去造成的影响并且这影响也有可能持续下去，所以用过去完成时和过去完成进行时都可以，故填had studied/had been studying。
（6）考查固定短语。句意：在听取了研究这一问题的科学家的意见后，政府于1959年向联合国寻求帮助。短语turn to sb.for help，意为"求某人帮助"，符合句意，故填for。
（7）考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：成立了一个委员会，以限制对埃及建筑的破坏，防止文物的损失。设空处为谓语，描述过去的事情，用一般过去时，主语和谓语之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，主语A committee，谓语第三人称单数，故填was established。
（8）考查现在分词。句意：专家们调查了这个问题，进行了几次测试后，就如何拯救这些建筑提出了建议。分析可知，设空处为非谓语动词，和主语之间是主动关系，应用现在分词作状语，故填conducting。
（9）考查冠词。句意：当这个项目在1980年结束时，它被认为是一个巨大的成功。设空处修饰名词success，本句中为抽象名词具体化，需用冠词泛指，great以辅音音素开头，故填a。
（10）考查非限制性定语从句。句意：也许最好的例子是联合国教科文组织，该组织开展了一项防止世界各地世界文化遗产消失的计划。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词UNESCO，关系代词在从句中作主语，故填which。
这是一篇说明文。文章举例说明了在改善社会，发展经济的过程中，旧事物必须让位于新事物。
做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识。本类型的题目常考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等。因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识。

I met the last speaker of Naati on an empty stretch of beach on Malekula，an island in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu.I told the man，Ariep，that I was in the country to study one of its native languages.When he learned I was a linguist，he excitedly shared that he speaks Naati.
Ariep explained the relationship between Naati and the other languages of the area.With a mix of pride and sorrow，he revealed that he is the last fluent speaker of Naati.Although a few of his family members have some knowledge of the language and make an effort to use it together，he fears that with his death，Naati will soon disappear.Naati's situation is not unique.Of the about 7000 languages spoken on the planet today，50%to 90%are considered vulnerable to extinction by the end of the century.
Languages are an invaluable source of culture.Understanding different languages is vital to understanding human cognition.A world with diverse languages benefits us all.Each language isa piece of the puzzle that we need in order to determine how language works in the mind.With each missing piece，we are further from seeing the full picture.
There are enough commonalities among language systems.In terms of sentence structure，all languages use the three basic elements：subject，object，and verb.Although these can be ordered in different ways，about 80%of known languages put the subject first，while only about1%put the object first.Analyzing these patterns has real impacts for our lives.The more we understand about how language functions，the better equipped we are to improve our therapies for communication disorders and our methods for language teaching.
However，taking into account all languages is a huge challenge.Many languages are in danger of disappearing before they have been documented，taking with them irreplaceable information about human culture.For the sake of the speakers of endangered languages，for the sake of us all，we must preserve the world's languages as we search for answers and work to ensure language diversity for generations to come.
4. What do we know about Ariep？ ______
A. He looks forward to leaving Malekula.
B. He speaks many foreign languages fluently.
C. He is worried about the disappearance of Naati.
D. He is devoted to studying endangered languages.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about？ ______
A. Ways to break down language barriers.
B. The significance of language diversity.
C. Reasons for the extinction of languages.
D. The impact of human cognition on languages.
6. Why does the author mention sentence structure in paragraph 4？ ______
A. To show the difficulty of learning grammar.
B. To present the functions of language systems.
C. To analyze the methods of language teaching.
D. To prove the connection among different languages.
7. What is the best title of the text？ ______
A. How Do Native Languages Develop？
B. Why Are Languages Worth Preserving？
C. How Can We Protect Endangered Languages？
D. What Makes Naati Unique in Human Language？
C
More than a third of the world's population lives in drylands，areas that experience significant water shortages.Engineers and scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a unique solution to help people in these areas access clean drinking water.
They developed a low-cost gel film （凝胶膜） that can pull water from the air in even the driest climate.Combining two simple ingredients，cellulose and konjac gum，the gel is inexpensive to produce.Just one kilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate.For those living in a climate with relative humidity，one kilogram of gel can collect up to13 liters of water a day.As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make，it may offer a way of providing drinking water to countries with water shortages.
Previously，researchers have harvested fresh water from fog and dew，but that only serves areas with high humidity.Other attempts at pulling water from desert air are typically energy-intensive and do not produce much.In fact，this gel is a vast improvement from previous water harvesting technologies.The maximum water harvested has been 5.87 liters in places with relative humidity.This new gel doubles this amount，uses no energy and is simple to operate and it can be molded into a shape or size that best suits the user.
"This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest，driest places on Earth， "said Guihua Yu，professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. "This could allow millions of people without consistent access to drinking water to have simple，water generating devices at home that they can easily operate."
"This is not something you need an advanced degree to use，" the paper's lead author，Youhong "Nancy" Guo said. "It's enough that anyone can make it at home if they have the materials." Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel that will increase the yield，making this technology a practicable solution to drought.
8. What do we know about the gel film from paragraph 2？ ______
A. It can increase the humidity of the air.
B. It can harvest drinking water from the air.
C. It has been widely applied in desert areas.
D. It costs lots of money and energy to produce.
9. What is Guihua Yu's attitude towards the new water-harvesting method？ ______
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Unfavourable. D. Hopeful.
10. What does the underlined word straightforward in paragraph 5 mean？ ______
A. Plain. B. Obvious. C. Tough. D. Direct.
11. What will scientists intend to do next？ ______
A. Develop a thicker gel.
B. Produce the gel on a large scale.
C. Raise money for further research.
D. Teach people to make the gel at home.
D
Beautiful coral reefs （珊瑚礁） in Thai seas have been gradually worsening due to global warming that causes coral bleaching，in addition to certain human activities without proper control and environmental consciousness.Recently，researchers from Thai university Chulalongkorn have created 3 D-printed coral reefs modeled on the nature of real corals called Innovareef to accelerate the recovery of the coral reef ecosystem.
Innovareef corals are coated with calcium and phosphate nutrients that corals need to thrive and consist of flat surfaces.The reefs' holes serve as habitats and hiding places for many sea animals.Artificial reefs also make use of hydrodynamics technology to enhance their resistance to tidal forces and ensure that they stay in place.Finally，the pH （level of acidity） of the selected type of cement used for the reefs is close to that of seawater，and the design concept is that of Lego，easily assembled （组装） and disassembled blocks that are easy to transport and fix.
"The Innovareef is not too large.It's light-weighted and can be carried by anyone thus saving transportation costs.You can simply put it at any desired location in the sea and then dive down to put all the units together to complete the Innovareef.Not even five minutes afterward，fish and several ocean creatures start to come in to survey and make it their new habitat，leading to biodiversity around the Innovareef.More importantly，the research data indicates that the settlement and growth rates of planula on the Innovareef are better than those on other artificial reefs，" said Associate Professor Dr.Nantarika Chansue at Chulalongkorn University.
Innovareef is the hope for the effective recovery of natural coral reefs.Now the team is focused on adding more details to the reefs to adapt to more species so that the new structures look more like natural reefs.
12. What function is expected of the Innovareef？ ______
A. To extend the life of corals.
B. To monitor the growth of corals.
C. To help restore natural coral reefs.
D. To protect coral reefs from human destruction.
13. What do we know about the Innovareef from paragraph 2？ ______
A. It is highly resistant to heat.
B. It has low manufacturing costs.
C. It provides rich nutrients for fish.
D. It is portable and easy to assemble.
14. What are Dr.Nantarika Chansue's words mainly about？ ______
A. The advantages of the Innovareef.
B. The inspiration for the Innovareef.
C. The methods of improving ocean habitats.
D. The importance of protecting biodiversity.
15. What do the researchers probably mean by saying "adding more details"？ ______
A. Apply the Innovareef on a large scale.
B. Carry out more tests on more species.
C. Make a specific design of the Innovareef.
D. Conduct further research on natural coral reefs.
Just as weight training helps us build and strengthen the muscles of our body, practicing deep listening builds and strengthens our capacity to listen. Every day we are presented with opportunities to practice being truly present with others. Here are some tips for building your deep listening “muscle”:
Connect with yourself first. One of the best ways to build our capacity to listen deeply to others is to practice slowing down, turning our attention inward, and being present with our own experience—with our own thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. (1)
Make time. Deep listening requires our time. It may be helpful to build regular, intentional time into your schedule to truly be present with people you love. For couples, this could be a once-a-week check-in in which you give each other space to discuss what is on your mind and in your heart. For parents, the walk or drive home from school may be good opportunities to check in with your child and simply be present for whatever comes up. (2) The important thing is that we make time.
Minimize distractions. Many of us have become master multi-taskers, splitting our attention between multiple tasks and flicking between tabs on our screens. (3) Even young children can tell when adults in their lives are distracted, and research shows that parentsˈ increased distraction can take a toll on childrenˈs development. Therefore, it is important to minimize distractions during the time we devote to deep listening.
(4) Mindful listening is all about paying attention and noticing, and this includes noticing when tension, anxiety, or distraction arise. Often, these signal a desire to move away from being with the person and towards doing—for example, interrupting, changing the topic, or trying to “fix” the problem. When this tendency arises, simply notice it. Name it silently, and gently return to listening.
Be gentle with yourself. Many people didnˈt experience deep listening in their childhood and enter adulthood with a limited capacity for listening to and being with othersˈ emotions. We tend to fall back on the communication styles and habits that we experienced in our family of origin, even if these are unhelpful in our adult relationships. (5) Thankfully, deep listening does not require perfection; it requires awareness.
A．Build a routine that works for you and your loved ones, whatever that looks like.
B．Notice the urge to move away and choose to come back.
C．Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person.
D．Thus, for those of us who were not listened to as children, this type of listening takes practice.
E．Deep listening canˈt be just another tab open; it requires our full mind and heart to show up.
F．Notice when these old tendencies are present and appreciate that it takes time to learn to communicate differently.
G．In other words, by listening deeply to ourselves and connecting with our own experience, it becomes easier to do so for others.

"I tried to follow her (31) in everyway. "That's good!You're moving your feet like you should.But remember to relax when you start to go down.Let's try again，" Mrs.Burks said.
So I did.When I lost my balance，I (32) crumpled to the floor.Mrs.Burks was right!It didn't (33) as much.I was able to get up faster and try again.
Later I began to see how Mrs.Burks' instructions worked for other (34).As long as I kept trying to do my best，I could learn something even when I (35).I could get back up，try again，and understand it's all right to fall.

Nothing worked.
I often pondered to myself，How would such a beautiful and amazing girl ever fall for a guy like me？I constantly thought that if I were a "cool guy，" she would eventually have to notice.Once，I "accidentally" dropped my letter jacket by her feet，just so she would note my varsity （校队） pins一and me.
She only laughed.
Then，at a weekend gathering one evening，she was there with all of her frightening friends.I decided that this had to be it；I couldn't live with myself one second more without at least trying to talk to her.I checked my ego at the door and decided to be myself.She was alone outside for one moment，and all I can remember is that she was so incredibly beautiful it made me dizzy.I walked up to her and said， "Hi，I'm Mark.You seem really nice；can we talk？ "My belly rolled with butterflies while my head rushed with anxiety.
Time stood still for a moment.
She replied， "I know who you are；you're different when your friends aren't around. "And then she smiled and said， "I'm walking up the street to meet a friend.Would you like to go？ "I could hardly breathe：How could this beautiful girl ever talk to a guy like me？Needless to say，we walked and talked，and she was everything I thought she would ever be.We giggled about the world and how stupid our friends and we were.

16~20.【答案】G、A、E、B、F
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一些倾听技巧。
1. 根据前文One of the best ways to build our capacity to listen deeply toothers is to practice slowing down, turning our attention inward, and being present with our own experience—with our own thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations.(培养我们深入倾听他人的能力的最好方法之一是练习慢下来，把我们的注意力转向内部，专注于我们自己的经历——我们自己的思想、情绪和身体的感觉)”可知此处是在说，学会倾听他人，要先学会倾听自己，所以G项In other words, by listening deeply to ourselves and connecting with our own experience, it becomes easier to do so for others.(换言之，通过深入倾听自己并与自己的经历联系起来，相对于对他人做同样的事来说，会更容易)是对前一句的进一步解释说明，符合文意。
2.
根据前文It may be helpful to build regular, intentional time into your schedule to truly be present with people you love.(在你的时间表中安排有规律的、特意的时间来真正与你爱的人在一起可能会很有帮助)可知，本段主要说腾出时间和你爱的人在一起，所以A项Build a routine that works for you and your loved ones, whatever that looks like.(建立一个适合你和你爱的人的日常生活，无论是什么样子)是对前文的总结，符合文意。
3. 根据前文Minimize distractions. Many of us have become master multi-taskers, splitting our attention between multiple tasks and flicking between tabs on our screens.(减少干扰。我们中的许多人已经成为一心多用的高手，在多个任务之间分散注意力，在屏幕上切换标签)以及后文Even young children can tell when adults in their lives are distracted, and research shows that parents’ increased distraction can take a toll on children’s development.(即使是年幼的孩子也能分辨出他们生活中的成年人什么时候分心了，研究表明，父母越来越多的分心会对孩子的发展造成损害)可知，本段是在讲，在倾听他人说话时，应该全身心的投入，不要做别的事分心，所以E项Deep listening can’t be just another tab open; it requires our full mind and heart to show up.(深度倾听不能只是打开另一个标签；它需要我们全身心的投入)是这两句的过渡句，符合文意。
4.
分析设空可知，位于段首，是本段的主题句，所以根据后文Mindful listening is all about paying attention and noticing, and this includes noticing when tension, anxiety, or distraction arise.... When this tendency arises, simply notice it. Name it silently, and gently return to listening.(用心倾听就是关注和注意，这包括注意紧张、焦虑或分心的时候。通常，这些信号表明，人们渴望远离与他人在一起，转而做一些事情，例如，打断、改变话题或试图“解决”问题。当这种倾向出现时，只需注意它。默默地说出它的名字，然后轻轻地回到倾听)可知，本段是在说，倾听他人时，我们有时不想听了，想要离开，要注意这种冲动，并最终回到倾听中去，所以B项Notice the urge to move away and choose to come back.(注意想要离开的冲动，并选择回来)符合文意。
5.
根据前文Many people didn’t experience deep listening in their childhood ... that we experienced in our family of origin, even if these are unhelpful in our adult relationships.(许多人在童年时没有经历过深入倾听，进入成年后，他们倾听和处理他人情感的能力有限。我们倾向于回到我们在原生家庭中经历过的沟通方式和习惯，即使这些对我们成年后的关系没有帮助)可知，本段主要在讲述如何处理过去的经历对自己倾听能力的影响，F项“Notice when these old tendencies are present and appreciate that it takes time to learn to communicate differently.(当这些旧的倾向出现时，请注意并意识到学习以不同的方式交流需要时间)”是在说如何处理的方法，符合文意。

近几年高考试题中的完形填空有新的变化，试题所涉及的知识面不断拓宽，综合难度不断提高。做完形填空首先要通读全文，了解大意。一篇完形填空的文章有许多空格，所以，必须先通读一至两遍，才能大概了解文章的内容。千万不要看一句，做一句。其次要逐句分析，前后一致。选择答案时，要考虑整个句子的内容，包括搭配、时态、语法等。答案全填完后，再通读一遍文章，检查是否通顺流畅，用词得当，意思正确。
36.【答案】when
【解析】（1）考查定语从句。句意：总有一个时候，旧的必须让位于新的，在我们走向未来的时候，不可能保留过去的一切。设空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a time，关系词在从句中做时间状语，故填when。
（2）考查动词不定式。句意：总有一个时候，旧的必须让位于新的，在我们走向未来的时候，不可能保留过去的一切。本句中的it为形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式，故填to preserve。
（3）考查副词。句意：然而，巨大的挑战有时可以带来伟大的解决方案。设空处修饰整个句子，用副词作状语，表转折，故填however。
（4）考查可数名词的单数。句意：但这项新提议引发了抗议。设空处为主语，应用名词形式，前面有定冠词，所以用名词单数特指，故填proposal。
（5）考查动词时态。句意：在听取了研究这一问题的科学家的意见后，政府于1959年向联合国寻求帮助。设空处为从句谓语，根据主句的时态，可知发生在过去的过去，对过去造成的影响并且这影响也有可能持续下去，所以用过去完成时和过去完成进行时都可以，故填had studied/had been studying。
（6）考查固定短语。句意：在听取了研究这一问题的科学家的意见后，政府于1959年向联合国寻求帮助。短语turn to sb.for help，意为"求某人帮助"，符合句意，故填for。
（7）考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：成立了一个委员会，以限制对埃及建筑的破坏，防止文物的损失。设空处为谓语，描述过去的事情，用一般过去时，主语和谓语之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，主语A committee，谓语第三人称单数，故填was established。
（8）考查现在分词。句意：专家们调查了这个问题，进行了几次测试后，就如何拯救这些建筑提出了建议。分析可知，设空处为非谓语动词，和主语之间是主动关系，应用现在分词作状语，故填conducting。
（9）考查冠词。句意：当这个项目在1980年结束时，它被认为是一个巨大的成功。设空处修饰名词success，本句中为抽象名词具体化，需用冠词泛指，great以辅音音素开头，故填a。
（10）考查非限制性定语从句。句意：也许最好的例子是联合国教科文组织，该组织开展了一项防止世界各地世界文化遗产消失的计划。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词UNESCO，关系代词在从句中作主语，故填which。
这是一篇说明文。文章举例说明了在改善社会，发展经济的过程中，旧事物必须让位于新事物。
做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识。本类型的题目常考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等。因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识。
