Small talk may occur to avoid awkwardness between two strangers (such as on a long elevator ride). People may also engage in small talk if they do not know each other well, because small talk allows safe and comfortable conversation topics as opposed to more debatable ones, such as politics and religion. The act of making small talk is considered polite.Small talk has several possible functions. People can engage in small talk to express an interest in others lives when they have a limited amount of time to speak because of work, family or social commitments. Some also choose to engage in small talk to ease potentially awkward situations. Small talk is also an acceptable means of establishing boundaries in conversation.Small talk includes banal (平淡乏味的) or meaningless everyday topics; it does not include philosophical topics, discussion of controversial topics or the divulging of details otherwise considered too personal. Common topics of small talk include sports, weather, local events, polite discussion of mutual acquaintances, and exchanging compliments on articles of clothing.Small talk is ideal for social situations requiring only a short time frame for a conversation. Conversations containing small talk usually do not exceed a few minutes. Examples of situations requiring small talk include bus rides, greeting an associate before discussing business, talking to coworkers before work or speaking with an acquaintance while waiting for a mutual friend to return to the dinner table.People who can hold small talk conversations are generally considered polite and sociable. One can also slowly get to know another by having a series of small talk conversations. This allows people to discover others interests at a slow pace.Small talk generally revolves around topics that are unremarkable, socially acceptable and experienced by all. The weather, for example, is not an unusual topic, though snow is an appropriate small talk topic as others can discuss how it has affected their days.1How does the writer put forward the subject of the passage?ABy providing examples.BBy making comparisons.CBy analyzing causes.DBy giving a definition.2In what situation may small talk most probably occur?AWhen people want to know better about each other.BIf two people have different opinions on a topic.CWhen strangers want to break the embarrassment.DIf people want to talk about something debatable.3The underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”Agiving awayBmaking upCspeaking out Dthinking about4We can learn from Paragraph 4 that _Asmall talk needs few requirementsBsmall talk doesnt need much timeCpeople need small talk in everyday lifeDsmall talk is useful in business dealBNick Hancock hopes to set a new record by living alone for 60 days on a small island in the Atlantic.Tom McClean, an SAS soldier who holds the solo record by occupying Rockall for 40 days in 1985, told Hancock that being isolated for two months on a volcanic rock 230 miles away from the Western Isles was the greatest challenge Hancock would have to face.“Im fully expecting it to be tough，” Nick Hancock said. “Im hoping that by doing my daily tasks fairly slowly, Im going to be able to keep most of my time busy. I think the worst times will be if Im cooped up for several days by bad weather.”Hancock hopes to land on Rockall in early June and will carry out the last tests of his boat with the Scottish Fire Brigades help next week before driving over to Harris in the Western Isles in three weeks.He has a small wind turbine (风力机) and a solar panel for power, more than two months food, a satellite phone and a laptop loaded with ebooks to keep him going. Hancock will update an expedition blog, texting messages out on Twitter and emailing his wife Pam and friends on mainland Scotland every day.Best known for its leading role in the Radio 4 shipping forecast, it has been occupied before, most famously by McClean but also by three Greenpeace campaigners, who set the longstay record of 42 days in 1997 by occupying the rock in protest at oil and gas exploration in the area.The last human inhabitants Hancock knows of were a small group of Belgian amateur radio enthusiasts, who specialize in broadcasting from distant islands; they were on Rockall overnight in late 2010.Hancock has no large support team behind him. Except for the coastguard, his only lifeline will be the Orca ， the passenger boat which will take him from Harris on to Rockall. His main daily contact will be Ann Parry, who runs a bedandbreakfast in a forest just outside Glencoe village in the Highlands.Parrys task, helped by her husband, is to send Hancock daily weather reports from the Met Office, deal with media inquiries and help him update his expedition blog.Hancock calls Parry his expedition manager, and she admits to being nervous. “Im looking forward to it because its such an amazing thing that hes doing, and a scary one as well，” she said. “But its fantastic and I cant help but be positive and supportive of it.”5Nick Hancocks main goal is to _Aprotest at oil and gas exploration in the AtlanticBshow his ability of adapting himself to bad conditionsCprove broadcasting from distant islands can be possibleDchallenge the previous record of living alone on the Rockall6To keep his time busy on Rockall, Hancock will _Ado his daily tasks slowlyBkeep emailing his wifeCsend text messages to his friendsDread some ebooks7According to Tom McClean, which was the greatest challenge Hancock would face?ALoneliness.

Belgian amateur”可知，人类最近登上Rockall 的时间是2010年，是由一群专门研究由遥远的岛屿传送节目的比利时人登上去的。
