()5. —I tried my best to prepare for the English exam in your way, but I still got low marks.
—Don't worry. . Continue to work hard and I'm sure you'll get higher marks next time.

A.It's still early
B.It doesn't work
C.It depends
D.It takes time

5. D 【点拨】根据“Continue to work hard and I'm sure you'll get higher marks next time.”可知，此处是安慰对方提高成绩需要时间。故选D。

【分析】本题是情景交际类题目，需结合对话上下文语境选择合适的答语。上文提到“按对方的方法准备英语考试仍得低分”，下文的答语要起到安慰作用，且与“继续努力下次会得高分”的语境相契合。先明确各选项含义，再筛选符合语境的选项。
【解析】逐一分析选项：A项“It's still early”意思是“还早”，不能安慰对方成绩低的问题；B项“It doesn't work”意思是“没用”，是消极表述，不符合鼓励的语境；C项“It depends”意思是“看情况”，与对话语境无关；D项“It takes time”意思是“需要时间”，契合安慰对方、说明成绩提升需要过程的语境，符合下文“继续努力下次会更高”的逻辑，因此选D。
【答案】D
【知识点】情景交际；日常交际用语
【点评】本题考查日常情景对话中的用语选择，属于基础题型，主要考查学生对常用交际语的理解及语境匹配能力，难度较低。
【难度系数】0.4

六、阅读理解。（2025·江苏常州实验初级中学期中）
You may disagree with your friends or family members in some cases. While disagreements can be uncomfortable, there are some steps you can take to make conversations more polite and meaningful.
Listen to their side
Even if you don't share someone's point of view, you can still listen to what they want to say. Show that you're paying attention by listening carefully without stopping them. Keep eye contact, nod and move your body towards the person you are listening to. Another way to show that you're listening is by asking questions or repeating what they have said. You can start by saying, “OK. If I understand you, you are saying...”
Try respectful language
When someone has an opinion you don't agree with, it can be easy to dismiss(摒弃) it. Some people refute(驳斥) others' opinions by attacking or making fun of them. Here are some ways for you to express opinions with respect. Don’t use rude words like “stupid”. Stay calm and start with “I” instead of “you”. For example, you might say “I feel” or “I see this in another way”. Also, make sure you will not use “we” language, even if you know others in your group agree with you.
▲
An opinion with feelings is weak. If you have a strong opinion, you can make a better case for it with facts. Facts are not based on personal feelings or guesses, they are true statements. Say what you would like to say in a calm voice and make sure your facts are from sources(来源) that can be trusted. If you are stopped, gently remind the person that you gave them a turn to speak and now you would like to speak. Then give the person a chance to reply.
Find common(共同的) ground
You may find that you can’t change others’ minds, and they may not change yours. Still, look for points you agree on. You may also gain a better understanding of each other’s opinion. In the end, it’s worth the effort because healthy communication builds strong relationships with others.
()1. What does the writer mainly explain in Paragraph 2?
A. Why do you need to listen to others' side?
B. How can you show that you are listening?
C. What can you say to express your understanding?
D. When do you ask questions or repeat others' words?
()2. What way does the writer use to connect the ideas in Paragraph 3?
A. Showing sequence.

D. Describing cause and effect.
()3. Which of the following is the most suitable for ▲?

B. If you're stopped, you need to give others a turn to speak.
C. To better understand others, looking for common views is necessary.
D. To have healthy communication, building strong relationships is important.

1. B 【点拨】根据“Show that you're paying attention by listening carefully without stopping them.”可知，第二段主要讲述的是如何通过肢体语言（如眼神交流、点头）、提问或复述对方的话来表明自己在倾听。故选B。
2. B 【点拨】根据第三段内容可知，通过列举具体方法（如避免粗鲁词汇、用“I”代替“You”、不用“We”语言）来说明如何恭敬地表达观点，属于“举例”。故选B。
3. A 【点拨】根据“If you have a strong opinion, you can make a better case for it with facts. Facts are not based on personal feelings or guesses, they are true statements.”可知，本段强调“用事实而非情感支持观点”，选项A“使用事实代替”与之对应。故选A。
4. C 【点拨】根据“Still, look for points you agree on. You may also gain a better understanding of each other's opinion.”可知，你要寻找你同意的观点，这样你们也可以更好地理解彼此的观点。选项C“为了更好地理解他人，寻找共同的观点是必要的。”与之符合。故选C。

【分析】
做本题需先通读全文把握主旨，再针对每道题的题型，定位原文对应内容，分析选项与原文的匹配度：第1题为主旨大意题，定位第二段核心内容判断其主题；第2题考查段落结构，分析第三段的论证方式；第3题需结合空后内容确定段落主旨；第4题为细节理解题，定位原文句子逐一验证选项对错。
【解析】
1. 第二段核心是讲述如何通过认真倾听、肢体语言、提问或复述等方式表明自己在倾听，对应选项B。A选项“倾听的原因”未提及，C选项“表达理解的话”仅为部分内容，D选项“提问的时机”非核心，故选B。
2. 第三段通过列举具体方法（避免粗鲁词汇、用“I”代替“You”等）说明如何用尊重的语言表达观点，属于举例论证，故选B。A选项“展示顺序”、C选项“呈现数字”、D选项“因果关系”均不符合，故选B。
3. 空后内容强调用事实而非个人情感支持观点，对应选项A“使用事实代替”。B选项“平静表达”、C选项“分享感受”、D选项“给他人机会”均与本段主旨不符，故选A。
4. 定位原文最后一段“Still, look for points you agree on. You may also gain a better understanding of each other's opinion.”对应选项C。A选项“改变自己的想法”未提及；B选项与原文“gently remind the person that you gave them a turn to speak”不符；D选项“健康交流建立牢固关系”是结果而非目的，故选C。
