help move the conversation along，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)譯文：雖然或許你打算幫助讓談話繼續(xù)，但是你的朋友也許會感覺好像他所說的要不斷地被討論或者聽起來根本是無趣的。詞匯積累：verbally adv.口頭上option n選擇distract v使分心1C根據(jù)下一句“It means trying to see the problem the way the speaker sees it.”可知，C項“傾聽不僅僅是別人講話時安靜地坐在那里”與下文聯(lián)系密切，且C項中的“Listening”與下一句中的“It”相照應。故選C。2A根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，本段主要說明在別人講話時，不要打擾對方。A項“在別人講話時，練習沉默”能夠引起下文內(nèi)容，符合語境。故選A。3F本段主要講述了在別人講話時，你應不時地點點頭，讓你的朋友知道你對他所說的感興趣。所以當你有時點頭卻心不在焉時，要趕快把注意力轉(zhuǎn)回到你朋友所說的話中。故選F。4B下文提到，要毫不猶豫地告訴你的朋友噪音妨礙了你，由此推斷出空格處應指如果受到了噪音的妨礙，可以請求朋友重復一遍。故選B。5D根據(jù)“No texting or looking at your phone！”可知，D項“無論誰的電話或者短信都可以等到你的談話結(jié)束再回復”符合本段內(nèi)容。故選D。generally speaking 一般來說(1)honestly speaking 誠實地說來frankly speaking 坦率地說strictly speaking 嚴格地說broadly speaking

Upon arrival in the West, many Chinese find they have to firstly put on the brakes. Li Yifeng, raised in northern China and now based in England, agrees.“The only thing Chinese people would be shocked by in Britain is how long it takes to do things，” he says. “For instance in China if you want to open a bank account, you dont wait, you just do it at the counter.” Outofhours and weekend work is standard in China, but in Britain, the weekend is for family and friends. Jack Chen, who left his homeland 12 years ago and is now a lawyer in Belgium says office politics are simpler in Europe, partly because the hierarchy (等級制度) is less rigid than in China, where the boss really is the boss and social class in the office is very obvious and important. As a result, staff in a Chinese pany think very carefully about how to present their views and ideas. Employees in the West can share their opinions more freely. In China you should have the wisdom to say something in an appropriate way. But in Europe you can just say what you want.The newest Chinese arrivals have a very different view to previous generations, according to Sharon Jin, who moved to the US 20 years ago and is now an American citizen. “Almost 100% of people of my generation who came to the States want to get a green card，” she says. “But today younger Chinese plan to work for 10 years here and then return to China to buy a house or look after their parents.” While a record number of 523,700 students left China to study elsewhere in 2015, roughly 70%80% of students abroad have been returning in recent years because of the attractive job market at home, according to the Chinese Ministry of Education (CME)【文章大意】以前，中國人去國外都想獲得綠卡，而現(xiàn)在他們計劃在國外工作十年以后，再回來買房或照顧父母?！倦y句分析】Jack Chen, who left his homeland 12 years ago and is now a lawyer in Belgium says office politics are simpler in Europe, partly because the hierarchy(等級制度) is less rigid than in China，where the boss really is the boss and social class in the office is very obvious and important.(第二段第一句)分析：本句含有who和where引導的定語從句以及because引導的原因狀語從句。譯文：十二年前離開了他的祖國現(xiàn)在在比利時是一名律師的Jack Chen說，辦公室政治在歐洲比較簡單，一部分是因為在那里等級制度沒有在中國嚴格，在中國老板就是老板，在辦公室的社會地位是明顯且重要的。1What do many Chinese find surprising while in Britain? AThat they drive faster than the drivers in Britain.BThat they can open a bank account at any time. CThat working extra hours in Britain is very mon. DThat working pace in Britain is less fast than at home.答案與解析：D考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段的“Upon arrival in the West, many Chinese find they have to firstly put on the brakes.”以及下面的例子可知，put on the brakes本意為“剎車”，用在這里表示“放慢速度”，故選D。2It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _. AJack Chen has been a lawyer in Belgium for 12 years Bemployees in the West show less respect for their boss. CChinese employees are cautious when presenting ideas Dpeople in Europe express themselves in a modest way答案與解析：C考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段的“In China you should have the wisdom to say something in an appropriate way”可知，在中國員工發(fā)表意見時要謹慎。3According to CME, most students return to China because _.Aits hard for them to get a green cardBits easy for them to buy a house at homeCthey will have to look after their parentsDthere are more job opportunities in China答案與解析：D考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段的“roughly 70%80% of students abroad have been returning in recent years because of the attractive job market at home”可知，大多數(shù)學生選擇回國發(fā)展是因為國內(nèi)有更多的就業(yè)機會。4How does the writer organize the text?ABy interviewing students abroad.BBy paring the differences.CBy discussing some facts.DBy listing some figures.答案與解析：B考查推理判斷。根據(jù)每個段落對比的一些差異可知，應選B。
