Question

11．Good listening skills can provide you with a deeper level of understanding about someone's situation．If you want to know how to be a good listener，read on to get started！1（36）B
It's easy to get lost in yourself and to only consider the impact of the other person's"telling"on you．But active listening is blocked by your inward thinking．On the contrary，you must look at the problems from the other person's angle．
Don't try to help immediately．Some people think that they should find a quick and easy solution to the person's problem while listening．Instead，you should take the time to think of a"solution"only if he or she is really looking for help in this way．（37）G
Remember what you've been told．（38）D So，if the person is telling you about his problems with his best friend，you can at least remember his name so you can refer to him that way．If you don't remember any names，details，or important events，then it won't sound like you're listening．
Encourage the speaker with body language．（3）C．Also says little things such as"Yeah"when the person is talking about something that they want you to agree on or"Wow"when the person talks about a tragedy or something bad done against them．These words betray that you're not only listening but paying attention．
Make eye contact．If you give your friend the impression you aren't interested and are distracted，they may never open up to you again．（40）E

A．Wait for the person to open up．
B．Place yourself in the other person's shoes．
C．Show them that you care by nodding at right times so they know you're listening．
D．Being a good listener is to actually absorb the information the person has told you．
E．Focus directly on their eyes so that they will know certainly that you are absorbing every single word．
F．Instead of the conclusion，let the speaker know that you are ready to listen and to be a sounding board．
G．If you start thinking of all of the quick measures for the person's problems，you won't be listening attentively．

分析 本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀，作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要向我們描述了如何成為一個(gè)好的傾聽(tīng)者，良好的傾聽(tīng)技巧能讓你對(duì)某人的處境有更深層次的了解．

解答 36．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文On the contrary，you must look at the problems from the other person's angle可知你必須從對(duì)方的角度看問(wèn)題；故選B．
37．G．推理判斷題．根據(jù)前文Instead，you should take the time to think of a"solution"only if he or she is really looking for help in this way可知如果你開(kāi)始考慮所有快速解決問(wèn)題的方法，你就不會(huì)專(zhuān)心聽(tīng)講了；故選G．
38．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文So，if the person is telling you about his problems with his best friend，you can at least remember his name so you can refer to him that way可知做一個(gè)好的傾聽(tīng)者實(shí)際上是吸收別人告訴你的信息；故選D．
39．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文Also says little things such as"Yeah"when the person is talking about something that they want you to agree on or"Wow"when the person talks about a tragedy or something bad done against them可知應(yīng)該用正確的時(shí)間點(diǎn)頭表示他們關(guān)心你，讓他們知道你在傾聽(tīng)；故選C．
40．E．推理判斷題．根據(jù)前文Make eye contact．If you give your friend the impression you aren't interested and are distracted，they may never open up to you again可知要專(zhuān)注盯著他們的眼睛，讓他們知道你在認(rèn)真傾聽(tīng)每一個(gè)字；故選E．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀，和完形填空很類(lèi)似，不同的是一個(gè)選詞，一個(gè)選句子．解題時(shí)，要注意上下文語(yǔ)境，充分考慮信息詞（選項(xiàng)中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞），選出最符合語(yǔ)境的句子．
