it is necessary and of great value to make small talk in certain situations.There are a few different reasons why people use small talk.The first, and most obvious, is to break an uncomfortable silence.That is why it is so common to make small talk when you are waiting for something.Some people make small talk in order to be polite.You may not feel like chatting with anyone at a party, but if someone introduces you to another person who you do not know anything about, you have to start some small talk in order to show a polite interest in getting to know that person better.There are certain “safe” topics that people usually make small talk about.The weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other well discuss.Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or commence a conversation.Another topic is current events.Sports news is a very common topic, especially if a local team or player is doing extremely well or badly.Entertainment news，such as a celebrity(名人) who is in town, is another good topic.If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about.There are also some subjects that are not considered acceptable when you make small talk.Discussing personal information such as salaries or a recent divorce is not done between people who do not know each other well.Compliments(赞美) on clothing or hair are acceptable；however, you should never say anything (good or bad) about a persons body.Also, it is not safe to discuss subjects that society thinks controversial(有争议的) such as religion or politics.Last，it is not wise to continue talking about an issue that the other person does not seem comfortable with or interested in.5According to Paragraph 1, the author thinks that small talk in certain situations is AboringBfixedChardDimportant【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“.it is necessary and of great value to make small talk in certain situations.”可知，答案为D。【答案】D6The underlined word “commence” in Paragraph 2 probably means“ ”AfinishBstartCrememberDchange【解析】词义猜测题。根据语境可知，朋友和家人谈论天气是在他们见面或开始谈话时，故答案为B。【答案】B7If you are introduced to a stranger, you can start small talk by Abringing some personal informationBcommenting on his bodyCcomplimenting him on his clothesDdiscussing religion or politics【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第三句中的“Compliments (赞美)on clothing or hair are acceptable.”可知，答案为C。【答案】CC【导学号：38300057】“A serious attack on the fantasy story for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened，” writes CS.Lewis in an essay named Three Ways of Writing for Children.Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things.Firstly, they mean that we mustnt do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death, violence (暴力), wounds, good and evil (邪恶)C.S.Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.He goes on to comment, “Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel (残酷的) enemies, let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage.By limiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alarming ever happens, they would fail to face fears and hardships.”“It would be nice，”he continues, “if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound.But if he is to be frightened，I think St.George，or any bright champion in armor，is a better comfort than the idea of the police.”Bruno Bettelheim, a wellknown child psychologist, also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil.He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions.Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life.Its believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality.Its what good literature doesit makes life larger.8According to the first paragraph, CS.Lewis thinks that Achildren shouldnt read any fantasy story because it is badBadults shouldnt do things that may frighten their childrenCdeath and badness should be kept out of childrens mindsDwriting a fantasy story is the best way of writing for children【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Firstly，they mean that we mustnt do anything likely to give children fears.”和“C.S.Lewis says he agrees with the first reason.”可知，C.S.Lewis认为成年人不能做一些给孩子带来恐惧感的事情。【答案】B9What probably is St.George according to the text?AHe is a policeman in real life.BHe is a murderer caught by the police.CHe is a brave man in a fantasy novel.DHe is a frightening person in a story.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“But if he is to be frightened，I think St.George，or any bright champion in armor，is a better comfort than the idea of the police.”可知，作者将奇幻文学的情景和现实生活进行对比，因此可以推测St.George是儿童奇幻文学中的一个英雄形象。【答案】C10Why should children read fantasy literature according to Bruno Bettelheim?ABecause it encourages children to have a lot of fantasies.BBecause it helps children overcome fears and find solutions.CBecause it teaches children to write their own fantasy stories.DBecause it gives children a happy memory when they grow up.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一、二句可知，Bruno Bettelheim认为孩子们阅读奇幻文学可以通过文学中的英雄故事培养他们积极勇敢的生活态度，并且克服生活中的困难。【答案】B11It can be inferred from the text that Agood literature can give readers more valuable storiesBfantasies can improve ones ability to solve problemsCpersonal fantasies can help children get away from dangerDmost children can understand what fantasy literature is【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life.Its believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality.”可知，阅读奇幻文学有助于提高读者解决问题的能力。【答案】BDTell a story and tell it well，and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open peoples mind to another culture or race.People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them.For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times.They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.“Most local stories are based on a larger theme，”American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “Cinderella (灰姑娘)，or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.”Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories.She works with prisoners too，helping them know who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives.If they dont like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers.“For every advance in business，” she says, “there is a greater need for communication.”Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the managerworker relationship, she says.Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there.The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says.“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture，” she says.“What I do is to focus on the value of stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs.We are all storytellers.We all have a story to tell.We tell everybodys story.”12What do we learn about American storytellers from Paragraph 2?AThey share the same way of storytelling.BThey prefer to tell stories from other cultures.CThey learn their stories from the American natives.DThey find storytelling useful for both children and adults.【解析】细节理解题。根据文中第二段中“They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education，but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults.”可知选D。【答案】D13The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggests that prisoners can Astart a new lifeBsettle down in another placeCdirect filmsDbecome good actors【解析】句意理解题。根据文中第四段中“She works with prisoners too，helping them know who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives.”可知此句表明了作者的寓意，人生就是一个故事，当我们重写故事时，就是在重塑我们的人生。故答案为A。【答案】A14Pugh has practiced storytelling with groups of people.A2 B3C4D5【解析】细节理解题。由文中第四段的内容可知答案为B。【答案】B15What is the main idea of the text?AStorytelling can influence the way people think.BStorytelling is vital to the growth of businesses.CStorytelling is the best way to educate children in school.DStorytelling helps people understand themselves and others.【解析】主旨大意题。综观全文并结合文章的主题句“We are all storytellers.We all have a story to tell.We tell everybodys story.”可知此题选D。【答案】D.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)A great life doesnt happen by accident.It is the result of allocating(分配)your time，energy，thoughts，and hard work towards what you want your life to be.Stop
