The most common types of people to use small talk are those who do not know each other at all. It is also common for people who are only acquaintances, often called a “friend of a friend”, to use small talk.There are certain “safe” topics that people usually make small talk about. The weather is probably the number one thing. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversat ion. Another topic that is generally “safe” is current events, such as sports news and entertainment news. If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are not acceptable because you cannot be sure who his friends are when you do not know a person well.People make small talk just about anywhere. Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might chat with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. Some social events (such as a party) require small talk among guests who do not know each other very well.The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone. However, the next time you see each other, you might just smile and say nothing. Do not interrupt (打断) two people in orderto discuss something unimportant, such as the weather. If someone is reading a book or writing a letter in a waiting room, it is not properto initiate a conversation either.36. The third paragraph mainly tells us .A. how people make small talkB. people like making small talkC. why people make small talkD. where people make small talk37. What can we learn about small talk according to the text?A. Small talk only happens between strangers.B. When people feel lonely, they will start small talk.C. Unpleasant comments about another person aren’t a “safe” topic.D. Small talk only happens when people want to make friends.38. The underlined word “initiate” in the last paragraph probably means “ ”.A. endB. startC. controlD. avoidBShyness equals(等于) losing opportunities, less pleasure and fewer social connections, but there are ways to make it a thing of the past.When I was fifteen, I was shy. I remember an attractive girl trying to talk with me. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say.To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax. This gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills. Relaxed socializing(社交) is so pleasurable. To start reducing your own shyness, I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice.Focus your attention away from yourself. Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note, listen to their conversation, imagine where they might live, and make a point of remembering names. Not only does this give you more to talk about, it also reduces social anxiety, leaving you feeling calmer.Ask people open questions. Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting. Ask questions that require more than a “yes” or “no” response such as “What do you like about this place?’ rather than “Do you like this place?” Once they have answered, you can use add-on (追加) questions connected with the first such as “What other places do you like in this city?” Nextyou can express your views. This is a great way to get the conversation going.Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen-year-old self.39. The author didn’t pay attention to what the girl was saying because .A. her voice was very lowB. he was shy and nervousC. he was attracted by her appearanceD. he wasn’t intereste d in her topic40. To get rid of your shyness, you should .A. pay much attention to yourselfB. find a beautiful girl to talk withC. learn to talk to others in a relaxed wayD. ask people some interesting questions41. It can be inferred from the text that .A. people will notice our appearance if we focus on their looksB. shy people will have no friends unless they change themselvesC. shy people may suffer a great deal and may be less happyD. girls like to show off their voices in front of boys42. Which of the following questions will the author probably advise us to ask?A. What a lovely day, isn’t it?B. Do you like playing basketball?C. Do you think he will pass the exam?D. Why do you find that English is hard to learn?CClaude Monet is surely one of the most famous French artists of all. Monet was particularly interested in the effect of light and would paint the same scene in different lighting conditions or times of the day. For example, he painted around 20 versions of the Rouen Cathedral from dawn to dusk. His most famous paintings include his Water lilies series.The paintings of Paul Cézanne had a lot of influence in the development of 20th century art, including Cubism (立体派) and Fauvism (野兽派). Cézanne is one of the most famous French artists and is known as a “post-impressionist”, which was similar in some ways to impressionism but also broke away from some of its limitations. Famous French paintings include his Bathers and Mont St Victoire series.Henri Matisse was one of the most important famous French artists of the 20th century. He was considered one of the leaders of the Fauvist movement. He had a long and varied artistic career, painting in different styles ranging from Impressionism to Abstract. In 1941, Matisse wasdiagnosed with cancer and was forced into a wheelchair. But this didn’t stop him completing the amazing Chapel of the Rosary in Vence.Degas is probably one of the most fascinating of all the famous French artists. He is known as one of the founders of Impressionism, but his paintings were also influenced by classicism, romanticism, and realism. His style is definitely very unique. He was a prolific (多产的) artist, producing over one thousand works. He is best known for his paintings of ballet dancers.43. We can know that Claude Monet painted about 20 versions of the Rouen Cathedral .A. within one dayB. using the same colorsC. at different placesD. in different lighting conditions44. Which style does Bathers most probably belong to?A. Impressionism.B. Post-impressionism.C. Romanticism.D. Abstract.45. During Henri Matisse’s long artistic career, he .A. painted paintings of different stylesB. did his most famous paintings after 1941C. painted in the style of Fauvism most frequentlyD. spent most of his time painting in a wheelchair46. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. Degas’ works all belong to ImpressionismB. Degas’ works were inf luenced by many stylesC. it’s not easy to tell Degas’ paintings from other artists’D. Degas’ paintings influenced classicism, romanticism and realismDQuestion: Which program is in Guinness World Records as the world’s longest running TV quiz show? Answer: “It’s Academic.”“It’s Academic” is a Saturday morning program for high school students. The show has been broadcast in the Washington area for fifty years. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton competed on the show when she was a teenager. Teams from local schools are questioned about subjects like history, literature, math, science, religion, politics and sports.Sophie was a TV producer in the 1950s. She started “It’s Academic” after local school officials asked her to create a program that showed outstanding students.The show’s host, 84-year-old Mac McGarry, who has hosted “It’s Academic” since the beginning, says, “When we first started, the young people from various countries were not evident so much. Now, each program presents young people from all over the world, at least descendants (后裔) from people all over the world.”Mac McGarry said, “Every time I look up, I see people who are just seventeen years old. And I think, ‘Well, I must not be growing older at all. They are full of enthusiasm. I really have to become more active to keep u p with them.’” More than 20,000 students have appeared on the show. Mac McGarry has asked more than 200,000 questions and gotten more than a few funny answers.Kelly Reeder led the team from Rockville High School in Maryland last year. Her school has won t he championship on “It’s Academic” several times. She says, “We have put in a lot of effort over the years. It’s a really huge honor to end up on the A Team. My friends who are on ‘It’s Academic’ think it’s cool that I’m the captain of the A Team, but myf riends who are not on ‘It’s Academic’ think it’s kind of funny.”47. We learn from the text that “It’s Academic” .A. was started half a century agoB. was produced by Hillary ClintonC. is broadcast across the US every weekD. is a TV show based on Guinness records48. Sophie created the program originally to .A. pick out outstanding studentsB. focus on students’ schoolworkC. attract more TV viewersD. accomplish a given task49. In Paragraph 4, McGarry mainly wants to say .A. the show was not popular at firstB. they overcame difficulties in the beginningC. the teams in the show are quite different nowD. the show becomes the longest running TV show50. By saying “I must not be growing older at all”, McGarry means that she .A. will have to retire soonB. hopes to go on with the workC. feels younger together with teenagersD. worries about her health condition四、任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation orhaving a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where alarge group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say.You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearlyenough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.ually, when you speak to the class, the class is____________.A.noisyB. quietC. having a restD. serious2.The situation in the class is _____than in your house.A.not very different fromB. sometimes the same asB.sometimes not the same as D. not the same as3.If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thingfor you is _________.A.to show your abilityB. to be very gentleC.to make sure that you can be heardD. to put the official at ease4.The main idea of the passage is _________.A.that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB.that we must speak loudly to make ourselves heard when stating ouropinions in serious situationsC.that we must keep silent at any timeD.that we must talk with the classBA man went to a barbershop to have his hair and beard cut as always. He started to have a good conversation with the barber who attended him. They talked about so many things on various subjects.Suddenly, they touched the subject of God. The barber said, “I don’t believe that God exists as you say so.”“ Why do you day that?” asked the client(顾客). “well, it’s so easy; you just have to go out in the street to realize that God does not exist.”“Oh, tell me.”“ If God existed, would there be so many sick people? Would there be so many abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t think of God who permits all of these things.” The client stopped for a moment thinking but he didn’t want to respond so as to prevent an argument.The barber finished his job and the client went out of the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long hair and beard. Then the client again entered the barbershop and he said to the barber, “ Knowing what? Barbers do not exist.”“ How come they don’t exist?” asked the barber, “Well I am here and I am a barber.”“No!” the client exclaimed, “They don’t exist because if they did there would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who walks in the street.”“Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to me.”“Exactly!”affirmed the client. “That’s the point. God does exist, what happens is that people don’t go to him for help. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.”1.The client was trying to prove that__________.A.God existsB. God permits suffering and painB.barbers do not exist D. people have to look for God2.According to the barber, if God existed, ________.A.there would be so many sick peopleB.there would be deserted childrenC.there would be no suffering in the worldD.there would be no people with long hair and beard in the street3.Why did the man in the street wear long hair and beard?A.he was poor and had no money to go to the barber’sB.he was not willing to go to the barber’sC.it is fashionable to wear long hair and beardD.it is not mentioned in the passage4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.the barber wad talkativeB. the client was very cleverC. God does existD. God does not existCPeople who eat at home most of the time have better nutrition than those who go out to eat , a recent study shows. Cornell University professors Lana Hall and Karen Bunch interviewed 3900 people in the survey. “People who eat less than 30 percent of their food away from home eat the most nutritiously,” they said.“In general, Americans don’t have nutrient deficiencies(营养不良), except for iron and calcium,” they reported. They have the opposite problem ——over—consumption(过度消耗), especially of fat.The food at many fast food restaurants is often low in vitamins. “People who eat more than 30 percent of total calories away from home eat foods that are generally low in nutrients per calorie,” the professors said. More calories and adequate nutrient intake are required to achieve.One of the major health risks is eating too much fat. The professor found than fat consumption became greater as income went up. It also wentup in houses where the female worked. This is probably because these people eat more highly processed foods.1.According to the passage, which of the following suggestions would youmost readily take?A.Eat out as many times as possibleB.Eat at home as many times as possibleC.Eat foods with a lot if iron, calcium and fatD.Eat more highly processed foods2.What is the result if people often dine out according to the passage?A.They tend to have better nutritionB.They tend to have less nutritionC.They can save a lot of timeD.They will spend much money on it3.Nowadays, a major health risk that people face is_______.A.Eating too much fast foodB.Frequent dining outC.Eating at home very oftenD.Eating too much fat4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Food and HealthB. The Life Style in Modern SocietyC. Fast food in the USAD.

He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?’’The young man paused, looked up and replied, “ Throwing starfishes(海星)in the ocean.”“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die”“But, young man, do n’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.”There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision the power(力量) to shape the future.We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.56.One day, the wise man saw a young man _______.A. dancing along the beachB. walking with a dancerC. picking up starfish for saleD. trying to save as many starfishes as possible57. The underlined words “ something very special” refers to ________.A. the gifts from friendsB. the strength of making decisionC. our own starfishD. the ability to make a difference58. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.A. the wise man realized something new and importantB. the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfishes in the ocean.C. the young man had the ability to make a differenceD. it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach59. The writer told this story to show us ________.A. how and where we can write a good articleB. everyone can do something for the futureC. wise man are sometimes stupidD. young man are in fact wiser than old peopleB.Tomorrow was his girlfriend’s birthday and the young man wa s having a difficult timedeciding on a present for her. She already had more clothes than she knew what to do with them,so he couldn’t get any kind of apparel. She never ate sweets, so candy was out of the question.What then? He had a very special reason for wanting to impress her with just the right gift; tomorrow he was going to make an offer of marriage to her. He finally decided on perfume(香水). All girls liked perfume. That raised another problem, however. What kind did she prefer?He couldn’t ask her because that would ruin the surprise.At last the young man hit upon a brilliant idea. That afternoon, pretending to take his girlfriend’s fox terrier, little dog for a walk, the young man and the dog went directly tothe perfume counter of the town’s biggest department store. Good! There was a large array(长列)of perfume. He beckoned(招呼)a clerk, instructing her to open a large number of bottlesa nd wave the stoppers under the dog’s nose.Nestled in the young man’s arms, the terrierbegan to be restless and bored as this seemingly pointless game went on. Then Fritz suddenlybecame frisky, wiggling in the young man’s arms and barking excitedly, as t he clerk wavedone stopper under its nose.“I’ll take that one,” said the young man to the clerk. The price was high, but it wasworth it, he thought.“ My favorite perfume!” said the delighted girl the next evening as she unwrapped the package. “ How did you know?” she asked, dabbing some perfume behind each ear.“ Intuition(直觉), I guess.” Said the young man, deciding that it wasn’t exactly wrongto tell a lie under the circumstances. One day, after they were married, he would admit thathis intuition had really been a little dog named Fritz.60. Which of the following words best describes the young man in the story?A.

He was most famous for the saxophone, but he could also play the piano and other instruments.He was born in New York City in 1907. His mother and music teachers who lived nearby taught him to ply the piano and trumpet(小号). He started the saxophone as a teenager.In 1935 he moved to London, England. There, he formed a musical group that had members of different races and nationalities. This was quite unusual at that time. Benny Carter returned to the United States in 1942. He began writing music for movies. He also produced a major collection of jazz albums, including recordings by other artists.Benny Carter is considered the main developer of the big band swing style of jazz. He was presented with a Grammy award for lifetime achievement in 1987. He won two more Grammies later. And in 2000, President Bill Clinton awarded him the National Medal of Arts.Musicians of his time called Benny Carter “The King”When he died, music producer Quincy Jones said, “ A big, big person walked out of the room.”68.The best title for the text might be _______.A.

Developing a meaningful idea of life has become less important. It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting.That’s no surprise. A friend of mine( a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college teachers her first year on the job.Though it’s true that we all ne ed a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated(积累)an incredible amount of knowledge in fields beyond our own and that it’s better for us to understand other contributions--- whether they are scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom(对讲机), “ Miss Baxter,” he says, “ could you please send in someone who can tell right from wrong?”From the long-term point of vies, that’s what education really ought to be about.72. According to the author’s observation, college students_______.A. have never been so materialistic as today.B. have never been so interested in the arts.C. have never been so financially well off as today.D. have never attached so much importance to moral (道德)sense.73. The students’ criteria (标准)for choosing majors today have much to do with_______.A .the influences of their teachers B. the financial goals they seek in life.C. their own interpretations of the coursesD. their understanding of the contributions of others74. By saying, “ Though it’s true that… whether they are scientific or artistic”(theunderlined words in Para 4), the author means that_______.A. business management should be included in educational programsB. human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speedC. our civilization has accumulated knowledge far beyond usD. the importance of a broad education should not be ignored.75.Studying the diverse wisdom of others can_______.A. created varying artistic interestB. help people see things in their rightperspective(角度)C. help improve connections among peopleD. adjust the behaviors of modern people一、书面表达(25分)请用学生会的名义用英语写一个参观北京动物园的书面通知。
