With our eyes focused on our smartphones， fewer of us make conversation with strangers. But are we missing something in this loss of relaxing small talk？A growing body of research suggests that small talk has surprising benefits. In a study published in 2014 in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin， researchers found that daily interactions with casual acquaintances(熟人) can contribute to daytoday wellbeing. Participants(參與者) were asked to record their daily interactions with people connected to them by “strong ties”(family and friends) and “weak ties”(acquaintances). On days when participants had more “weak tie” interactions than usual， they reported a greater sense of belonging and happiness.In a study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014， another group of researchers looked at interactions among strangers. They invited 118 commuters(通勤者) at a Chicagoarea railway station and gave them one of three roles： to start a conversation on the train， to avoid any conversation and enjoy the solitude(loneliness) or to do whatever they normally do on their commute. In surveys completed afterward， those who were instructed to make conversation with strangers reported “notably more positive” commutes than those who rode in solitude.“Talking with a stranger may not offer the same benefits as talking with a close friend， but we underestimate(低估) its importance to us，” says the studys coauthor， Nicholas Epley， a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Dr. Epley traded in his own smartphone for an old featureless phone， which has made him， he says， more open to “wonderful， short conversations with strangers”.People overestimate the social risks involved in small talk， adds Dr. Epley， “Most people not only want to talk to you； theyll tell you secret things they may not even tell a family member”.【解題導語】本文是一篇議論文。文章通過一些重要研究結(jié)果說明了閑談的益處。5The first study got the findings from the participants by comparing their .A.strong and weak tie interactionsB.casual and close acquaintancesC.private and public interactionsD.family members and friendsA解析：推理判斷題。細讀第二段可知，這項研究通過比較參與者的“強聯(lián)系”交際和“弱聯(lián)系”交際得出了結(jié)論。6What did the study done on the train find out？A.People are likely to ride in solitude on the train.B.Few commuters like to chat with strangers.C.There are three kinds of train commuters.D.Chats with strangers bring joy to people.D解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的In surveys completed afterward. who rode in

strangers.C.People fail to realize the importance of friendship.D.Most strangers prefer to spend time on their phones.B解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的Dr. Epley traded in his own smartphone for an old featureless phone， which has made him， he says， more open to “wonderful， short conversations with strangers”.可推斷，Epley博士應(yīng)該會認為，智能手機可能會扼殺與陌生人的閑談。8What does the text mainly discuss？A.The interactions with strangers.B.The loss of relaxing small talk.C.The influence of smartphones.D.The important role of small talk.D解析：主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文主要論述了閑談的益處。文章的中心句為第二段首句A growing body of research suggests that small

rescue dogs are，”animal behaviorist Mark Vette says.Vette first used voice commands and treats to teach the dogs how to turn a steering wheel and how to change gears(換擋).The dogs ride only accelerated up to 7.5 miles an hour， and trainers could stop the auto using a remote control.GOLDEN ZEBRAKailuaKona， HawaiiZoethe zebras markings are special.The animal has white and golden stripes.Zoes appearance resulted from a rare condition called amelanosis(黑素缺失癥).Her body doesnt make enough melanin， a substance in an animals skin and hair cells that produces color.“Only 25 other golden zebras are known to exist in the world，”says Anngoody， who runs the wildlife refuge where Zoe lives.In the wild， life may be difficult for animals with amelanosis because predators(捕食性動物) can easily spot them.But Zoe is protected at her refuge.COCKATOO MAKES TOOLSVienna， AustriaWhen Figaro， a cockatoo， spots food lying just out of reach from his cage， he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way.The bird first revealed his talent when a stone he was playing with rolled out of his cage.The cockatoo couldnt reach the stone.So he flew away and returned with a small branch， slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him.Wondering if he would do it again， scientists placed a nut exactly where the stone had been.This time， Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him.【解題導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了三種令人驚訝的動物，它們是能夠開車的狗、長著金色條紋的斑馬和善于制造工具的鸚鵡。9If Zoe is set free in the wild， she will .A.meet no natural predatorsB.not get along with other zebrasC.manage to make enough melaninD.be easily found for her appearanceD解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二部分的“The animal has white and golden stripes.Zoes appearance resulted from a rare condition called amelanosis(黑素缺失癥).”和“In the wild，life may be difficult for animals with amelanosis because predators(捕食性動物)can easily spot them.”可知，由于黑素缺失癥，Zoe身上有金色和白色條紋，如果她在野外，捕食性動物很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)她，故D項正確。根據(jù)第二部分的“Zoes appearance resulted from a rare condition called amelanosis(黑素缺失癥).Her body doesnt make enough melanin”可知，C項錯誤；B項文中沒有提及。10Whats special about Figaro？A.He is particular about his food.B.He is extremely fond of stones.C.He is good at drawing support from outside forces.D.He can tell the difference between stones and nuts.C解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三部分的“When Figaro，a cockatoo，spots food lying just out of reach from his cage，he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way.”可知，這種鸚鵡可以自制小工具；據(jù)此可以判斷，這種鸚鵡的特別之處是善于利用外部的東西來滿足自己的需要，故C項正確。11What is the text mainly about？A.Amazing animals.B.Ways to help animals.C.Animals unique talents.D.Tips on training animals.A解析：主旨大意題。通讀全文并根據(jù)小標題“DOGS DRIVE CAR”“GOLDEN ZEBRA”和“COCKATOO MAKES TOOLS”可知，本文主要講了三種令人驚訝的動物，故選A。DIt may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.At some point in every speech， every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned.Fortunately， such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners， why？ Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say， they hear only what the speaker does say.If you lose your place for a moment， wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences， or forget to pause at a certain point， no one will be any the wiser.When such moments occur， dont worry about them.Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech， that doesnt really matter.If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech“I have a dream”， you may notice that he stumbles over his words twice during the speech.Most likely， however， you dont remember.Why？ Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speechmaking.People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speechmaking as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication.They feel the listeners are like judges in an iceskating competition.But， in fact， the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance.They are looking for a wellthoughtout speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly.Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech， dont worry about being perfect.Once you free your mind of this， you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.【解題導語】本文說的是沒有完美的演講這種東西。在演講時出點小錯誤可能會增加演講者的吸引力。所以不要太在乎演講過程中出的小差錯。12The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will .A.be smarter than youB.do better than youC.notice your mistakesD.know what you are talking aboutC解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下一句When such moments occur， dont worry about them.可知，上文的意思是：沒有人會注意到你的小差錯，所以不用擔心，故選C項。13You dont remember obvious mistakes in a speech because .A.you find the way of speechmaking more importantB.you dont fully understand the speechC.you dont know what the speaker plans to sayD.your attention is on the contentD解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中第二段的Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speechmaking.可知，你的注意力在演講內(nèi)容上。14It can be inferred from the passage that .A.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be badB.giving a speech is like giving a performanceC.the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD.the more mistake a speaker makes， the more attractive he will beA解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中第二段的Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human.可知，有時候在演講中出現(xiàn)一兩個錯誤實際上能增加演講者的吸引力，使其更接地氣，故選A項。15What would be the best title for the passage？A.How to Be a Perfect SpeakerB.How to Make a Perfect SpeechC.Dont Expect Mistakes in a Speech D.Dont Expect a Perfect Speech D解析：標題歸納題。本文在開頭就點出了主題：It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech.下文對這個說法進行了解釋。故選D項。第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分， 滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容， 從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。 選項中有兩項為多余選項。 A motivation presentation is a presentation that attempts to change peoples attitudes and behavior， rather than only communicating specific information. It requires the speaker to show his or her own motivation and engage(吸引住) the audience. 16.Given the subject， it is important to make a good impression when giving a motivation presentation. 17. If he stumbles(結(jié)巴) over words due to lack of preparation， and doesnt convey enthusiasm about the presentation， the audience will not be engaged.The presentation should be as relevant to the audience as possible. Its better to tailor examples to the audiences line of work. For example， junior staff likely wont respond too well if the whole focus is on the companys profits. 18. For example， the speaker needs to explain how working smarter can reduce stress.The presenter shouldnt be afraid to interact(互動) with the audience. 19. Asking for examples and ideas during the speech will get people thinking more about the presentation and how it relates to their own lives and work.20 Some may be enthusiastic while others will be more critical. This is often because of the mindset people have. The speaker can try to handle this by being more conversational， using humor and otherwise engaging the audience in a comfortable and more casual way.A.In this way it feels more like an event than a lecture.B.There are many techniques that can achieve this goal.C.Maybe theyd rather hear how to increase their income.D.Instead， the speaker may need to concentrate on feelings.E.The speaker should be energetic， confident and enthusiastic.F.A good impression can really contribute to the presentation.G.The audience will have different attitudes to the motivation presentation.【解題導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹如何做激勵型演講。16B解析：此空設(shè)于段尾，是一個過渡句。設(shè)空處引起下文，下文開始介紹做好激勵型演講的一些技巧。17E解析：此空設(shè)于段中，與上文存在解釋關(guān)系。上文提到演講者應(yīng)該給人留下一個好印象，設(shè)空處則解釋“好印象”：精力充沛的、自信的和熱情的。18D解析：此空設(shè)于段中，與上文存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，設(shè)空處說明演講者要把著重點放在聽眾的情感上。19A解析：此空設(shè)于段中，與上文存在指代關(guān)系，設(shè)空中提到的In this way指代上文提到的interact(互動) with the audience。20G解析：此空設(shè)于段首，是本段的主旨句。本段主要講觀眾會對激勵型演講持不同的態(tài)度。第二部分語言知識運用(共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)第一節(jié)(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。As a child， I was afraid of everything.At the age of 8，I even became 21 of getting Halloween candy.22， on October 31，my twin brother and I went out and 23 to every house in the neighborhood.Most of the houses only had a few steps to the door.It was easy.However， when we 24 one of the bigger houses with 10 tall steps 25 to the front door， which were known to have the best candy， my fear 26 me.My brother was already up the stairs， while I stood 27 at the bottom.It was 28 that Id be able to climb all that way， for I was afraid that I might fall over in the dark and 29 my bag of candy.I might 30 my clothes on something.I wanted the candy， but there was no 31 I would go up those stairs to get it.I failed.I lost more than just candy.I lost my 32 .Fear of the unknown 33 me for a long time.After six years in nursing， I was 34 with the career I had chosen.I faced a 35： step out into the unknown or 36 the rest of my life at the bottom of those steps， never 37 the best candy.Finally， with only $100 in my savings account， I started my own business.Whenever I would lose a client(客戶)，the old fear 38.However， Id tasted the candy， and now I dont 39 when I face difficulties.I believe that， though 40 things can happen when we step out， worse things happen when we dont.【解題導語】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者小時候因為害怕而不敢爬上臺階，從而得不到萬圣節(jié)糖果，多年后，作者終于走出了恐懼，不再害怕任何困難。21A.happyB.afraidC.fond D.tiredB解析：根據(jù)本空前的“As a child， I was afraid of everything.”可知，“我”甚至害怕(afraid)收到萬圣節(jié)糖果，故B項正確。22A.Hardly B.CertainlyC.Normally D.ApproximatelyC解析：上文說作為一個孩子，“我”甚至害怕收到萬圣節(jié)糖果，此處是說通常(Normally)在10月31日那天，故C項正確。23A.rushed B.pointedC.moved D.travelledA解析：根據(jù)本空前的“went out”可知，“我”和弟弟出去沖向(rush)附近的每一個房子，故A項正確。24A.knocked B.escapedC.reached D.enteredC解析：上文說“我”和弟弟沖向附近的每一個房子，此處是說我們到達(reach)了一個大房子，故C項正確。25A.pointing B.openingC.belonging D.leadingD解析：根據(jù)上文中的“Most of the houses only had a few steps to the door.”可知，這個大房子有十節(jié)通向(lead)門的臺階，故D項正確。26A.encouraged B.spreadC.prevented D.attractedC解析：上文說“我”甚至害怕收到萬圣節(jié)糖果，再結(jié)合本空后的“at the bottom”可知，此處是說恐懼阻止(prevent)了“我”，故C項正確。27A.slightly B.frozenC.calmly D.happilyB解析：由上下文語境可知，弟弟已經(jīng)上了臺階，而“我”還是呆呆地(frozen)站在下面，故B項正確。28A.unluckily B.possibleC.unlikely D.pitifulC解析：根據(jù)本空后的“Id be able to climb all that way， for I was afraid”可知，由于害怕，“我”不可能(unlikely)往上爬了，故C項正確。29A.fall B.loseC.forget D.dropD解析：根據(jù)本空前的“fall over in the dark”可知，“我”害怕自己在黑暗中跌倒，丟(drop)了糖果，故D項正確。30A.tear B.catchC.bury D.breakA解析：根據(jù)本空后的“my clothes on something.”可知，“我”還害怕什么東西把衣服撕破(tear)，故A項正確。31A.way B.needC.wonder D.doubtA解析：根據(jù)上下文語境可知，由于害怕，“我”不可能爬上去拿糖果了，there is no way that表示“不可能”，故A項正確。32A.bag B.lifeC.way D.confidenceD解析：上文說由于害怕，“我”不敢爬上去了，再結(jié)合本空前的“I lost more than just candy.”可知，恐懼讓“我”失去了信心(confidence)，故D項正確。33A.amused B.controlledC.helped D.ruinedB解析：根據(jù)本空后的“After six years in nursing”可知，恐懼控制(control)了“我”很長時間，故B項正確。34A.impressive B.concernedC.unsatisfied D.excitedC
