2023·四省适应性测试 说明文 282词 ★★☆☆☆ We all know that unpleasant feeling when we're talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we're interrupted. But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.

Using a set of controlled audio clips (录音片段), Hilton surveyed 5，000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people's perceptions of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.

Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two distinct groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people to speak one after another in conversation.

The differences in conversational styles became evident when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同时的) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.

“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication，” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”

4．What does Hilton's research focus on? A．What interruptions mean to people. B．Whether interruptions are good or not. C．How to avoid getting interrupted. D．Why speakers interrupt each other.

5．What do participants of the study need to do? A．Record an audio clip. B．Answer some questions. C．Listen to one another. D．Have a chat with a friend.

6．What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat? A．It's important. B．It's interesting. C．It's inefficient. D．It's impolite. 7．What can we learn from Hilton's research? A．Human interaction is complex.

B．Communication is the basis of life. C．Interruptions promote thinking.

D．Language barriers will always exist.

[2023·石家庄高三质检]阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I still remember the day when we decorated the house. I was ten and it was two weeks before New Year. I was looking forward to my presents. Since I'm the youngest in the family, all of the family members would give me a gift one way or another. Sometimes it was a cookie or a hug but it was always there. I was the only center of attention and it was feeling good.

My uncles usually would ask me what I wanted before New Year and that year I knew what I wanted. It was the spaceship I saw in the ads. I was dreaming of opening a big gift box, and it was there. But that year it came in a way that I wasn't expecting.

It was two weeks before New Year. Just two weeks. She couldn't wait. My dear mother told my father that it was time, and then we went to the hospital. After an hour, they told me that I had a sister. But I didn't want a sister. I wanted a spaceship. The next few days went so fast. No one was caring about me. Everyone was talking about her and I knew that my life was never going to be the same ever again. I wasn't ready to grow up, to be a big brother. But it just happened in an instant.

On the day before New Year, everyone was in our home, talking only about my newborn sister. My family was becoming hers. Even my uncles didn't ask me anything about the gift. She stole everything I'd ever had, my life and my presents. Thinking about this, I cried myself to sleep. I had a nightmare (噩梦) and woke up in the middle of the night. Shadows were all around me, and I was defenseless and so weak. I ran into my parents' bedroom but couldn't wake up my poor parents who were just too worn out. I was standing near their bed, trying not to cry when I saw her. She was awake and looking at me with her big eyes in her small bed.

注意：1.词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。

Suddenly a long shadow came into the bedroom and she started crying.________________________________________________________________________

One possible version：

Suddenlyalongshadowcameintothebedroomandshestarted crying. Panicky at first, I then realized that it was just a car passing by. But she felt uneasy, her mouth wide opening, arms waving, and legs kicking (主格结构). I thought she might be scared, so I held out my hand to hold hers, patting her on the back with the other (现在分词短语作伴随状语). I even moved a bit closer to her little bed, whispering my favorite song in her ears, just as my mum did when I got scared. Surprisingly,

she seemed to understand me and stopped crying. Looking into her big eyes, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterhavingcomfortedher, somethingslowlychangedinsideme. The sense of loneliness was replaced by the responsibility of being an elder brother (巧妙使用被动语态彰显句式变化). Even though her arrival took over the center of the whole family initially (Even though引导的让步状语从句), she started to become the center of my attention too. With her cute round face and sparkling eyes, she also won my love and care for her. I looked around and found my parents, awake, smiling at me. With a shadow of a happy family cast on the window (with复合结构), I felt my little sister was the best gift I'd ever got.
