1．Internal communication，also known as IC，refers to a group of processes responsible for effective circulation of message within an organization.These messages are information that is valuable to the organization and are supposed to be kept confidential（機密的）.The means of transferring this information is often done through emails，letters，notice boards，and even with the help of social media like Skype，Zoom，and Google Meet，in the current times.
Honest internal communication is the healthiest way to keep your organization growing.With honesty around the workplace，it is a safer environment for the employees to voice their opinions which could help in the modification of a certain operation that might have been outdated.Other than changes，not opening up to your colleagues can result in frustration and give rise to "gossip culture" at the workplace.When information is not passed out with lucidity，not only does the quality of work get affected but it also gives rise to questioning the worth of the time spent in the company.
An atmosphere of honesty also encourages growth in responsibility，leadership，and self-accountability.If the CEO of a company voices the shortcomings of his team in a respectful manner，it would bring room for each and every employee to take it on a positive note and bring around the change for the one common goal of development of the company that they are working for.This brings a lot of change in the attitude of every individual employee since they start seeing the company that they are working for as an asset that they cherish （珍愛）dearly.
In a workplace，things go both wrong and right，so it is important to both appreciate and criticize when such situations occur from the end of both the leadership and the employees.The positives should be celebrated while the negatives should be taken as positive criticisms that could help the company grow into something better.The main goal of unity and development should always be kept in mind.
（1）Which is considered one main character of IC？
A．It comes with the times of social media.
B．It exists within the leadership of a company.
C．It is often kept secret within an organization.

（3）What is the third paragraph mainly about？

B．The importance of unity for a company.

A．Communicating both the positives and the negatives.
B．Taking responsibilities bravely for our mistakes.
C．Trying all possible means to avoid the negatives.
D．Strengthening unity mainly among the employees.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5 -

3．There is an old saying in Chinese： "To do a good job，one must first sharpen one's tools." When it comes to photography，however，it's not exactly the case.In this year's National Geographic Travel Photo Contest，Greenlandic Winter，a picture by Chinese photographer Chu Weimin，took first place in the cities category and won the overall grand prize as well.
When asked why he chose Upernavik，a small fishing village in Greenland，to take his pictures，Chu described the first time he spotted the village from an airplane. "Through my entire flight，I could only see the land，covered by pure white ice and snow.But I suddenly saw a big，warm dot in the far distance — Upernavik，" he told National Geographic. "The beauty of this tranquil（寧靜的）village was beyond my imagination.It was a 'wow' moment for me." This ability to identify a "wow moment" is what makes a good travel photographer.
According to Chu，he was moved by Upernavik's blue tint at dusk，the warm yellow light from the windows，and the family of three walking along the snowy street.Although he is a professional photographer，many of Chu's Greenland pictures were shot with his phone.
This attitude echoes that of Austrian-American photographer Ernest Haas（1921-1986）.Haas told his students that they were too obsessed with cameras to understand the essence of photography. "The camera doesn't make a bit of difference，" Haas said. "All of them can record what you are seeing.But you have to SEE."
Perhaps it's not just in photography that we've put too much emphasis on the role of tools.How many of you are reluctant to start a new sport or learn new software simply because you don't yet have the "right" outfit（裝備）or computer？
It's true that "sharpened" tools make the work easier，hut as reporter Abhilash Pavuluri wrote on Firstpost： "In the end，it's really the artist that makes a good painting，not the paintbrush."
（1）What do we know about Chu Weimin？
A．He is better at photographing people than scenery.
B．His award-winning picture is set in a peaceful village.
C．His shooting style stands out from other photographers.
D．He is the first Chinese person to win the National Geographic Photo Contest.
（2）What's the main purpose of Paragraph 3？
A．To explain why Chu's picture stands out.
B．To introduce Chu's love for Upernavik.
C．To recommend a good place for taking photos.
D．To describe Chu's inspiration for the winning picture.
（3）What makes a good photographer，according to Haas？
A．The ability to find beauty.
B．Enthusiasm for photography.
C．Having rich parents.
D．Owning the best camera equipment.
（4）The underlined word "reluctant" in paragraph 5 has the closest meaning to.
A．glad
B．unwilling
C．confident
D．supposed組卷：29引用：2難度：0.5 -
4．Some students get so nervous before a test.They do poorly even if they know the material.Sian Beilock，a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois，has studied these highly anxious test-takers.The students start worrying about the results.And when we worry，it actually uses up attention and memory resources.
Professor Beilock and another researcher，Gerardo Ramirez，have developed a possible solution.Just before an exam，highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students.They gave them two short math tests.After the first one，they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored（得分）an average of 12% worse on the second test.But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%.Next，the researchers used younger students in a biology class.They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated（不相關的）to the test.Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+，compared to a B- for those who did not.
"What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious，who'd done our writing intervention（干預），all of a sudden there was no relationship between test fear and performance.They were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these tests."
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam？Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
（1）What do the students start worrying about before an exam？
A．Whether they can pass the exams.
B．What other students do during the test.
C．Whether they have remembered the materials.
D．What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
（2）What is the solution developed by researchers？
A．Making the students focused on the test.
B．Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
C．Having the students write about their worries about the test.
D．Asking the students to direct the attention away from the test.
（3）According to Professor Beilock，those who thought about things unrelated to the test.
A．became less nervous before the test
B．were better at controlling their feelings
C．did worse than those who wrote about their feelings
D．did better than those who wrote about their feelings
（4）We can infer from the last paragraph that.
A．writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit
B．we can only write about our worries right before an exam
C．the best place to write about our worries is in the test room
D．it doesn't matter where we write about our worries before an exam組卷：19引用：5難度：0.7
