9、k at small talk. You know, those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day. Maybe youre waiting for the elevator.Or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial. Idle chatter about traffic doesnt do much more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotte
10、n. But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives.Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, “Left unchecked, small talk can be an invasion. Its so powerful. It does something to you.“ “Every morning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day
11、 with small talk with my secretary,“ Oliver says, “If I dont make small connection with another person, I can t work.“What causes it? As a rule, youre either trying to force something into your life, or youre using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out. You can be wanting to conn
12、ect with another person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaningful conversation.The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time.Take the elevator, for instance. Now theres prime territory. Nobody knows anyone and theres no reason to start a con
13、versation, but invariably, someone does. Making conversation in such peaceful social settings, according to Oliver, “can confirm your territory. Its a way of feeling liked and accepted.“The topics of small talk dont matter. In fact, you dont want anything more taxing than the weather or the traffic.
14、 Its non-threatening talk in a threatening situation. However, the rules change quickly when youre with lots of people doing lots of talking.Lets say youre at a party. Now it s time to use small talk as a way of making others feel more comfortable around you, so you don t look silly standing by the
15、food table alone all night. 21 According to the author, small talk is often used_（A）to invade others private affairs（B） to share a secret between intimate friends（C） to open and maintain channels of communication（D）to protect ones own privacy 22 According to the author, topics of small talk may incl

18、 feel at ease（B） excluding those you dont like from joining you（C） keeping your voice low so only your friends can hear you（D）comforting those who feel lonely 24 No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of
19、disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have
20、failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents.
21、 Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by peoples attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to bus
22、es and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to f
23、ully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts. 25 The first paragraph points out that _ .（A）it is possible to get an exact figure of the wor
24、lds disabled people（B） there are many disabled people in the world（C） the number of disabled people in India is the greatest（D）India has not much more disabled people than Canada 26 The key word in Paragraph 4 is _ .（A）barriers（B） ignorance（C） disability（D）prejudice 27 The last word of the passage “
25、counts“ most probably means _ .（A）is most important（B） is included（C） is considered（D）is numbered 28 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? _ .（A）There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.（B） The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers face
26、d by the disabled people.（C） Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.（D）There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance. 29 It can be concluded from the passage that _ .（A）we should try our best to prevent disablement（B） we
27、 must take a proper attitude towards the disabled（C） the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled（D）both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down 29 Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators
28、to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “look-say“ or “whole-word“ method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct e
29、ffectively.The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the serf-directed, “learning h
30、ow to learn“ activities recommended by advocates of “open“ classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these “Run- Spot-Run“ readers.However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been cal
31、led “the great debate“ in beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Cant Read, Flesch indicted(控诉)the nations public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said-and mere scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed-that another approach to be
32、ginning reading, founded on phonics(声学), is far superior.Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized wor
33、ds, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first
34、step.30 The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is _ .（A）only logical and natural（B） the expected position（C） probably a mistake（D）merely effective instruction 31 The author indicts the look-say reading approach because _ .（A）it overlooks decoding（B） Rudolf Flesch agre
35、es with him（C） he says it is boring（D）many schools continue to use this method 32 One major difference between the look-say method of learning reading and the phonies method is _ .（A）look-say is simpler（B） Phonics takes longer to learn（C） look-say is easier to teach（D）phonics gives readers access to
36、 far more words 33 The phrase “touch-off“ (Para 3, Line 1) most probably means _ .（A）talk about shortly（B） start or cause（C） compare with（D）oppose 33 English is a mixture of many different languages. Because of this, the vocabulary of the English language is very large. It is much larger than almost
37、 any other language in the world.Many English words came from Latin, the old language of Rome, and Greek. From Latin we get words like “wine“, “us“ and “day“. From Greek we have words such as “photograph“,“ Bible“ and “ink“. Because these two languages are extinct, the words have more often come thr
38、ough other languages such as French, or the German language. There are also words from both Greek and Latin combined “television“, for example, “tele“ is Greek for “far“ and “vision“ comes from Lation meaning “seeing“.Many common English words came from other different places. “tea“ is from China, “
39、banana“ from West Africa, “potato“ from the island of Hati(海地), in the West Indies, and “tomato“ from Mexico. One reason why the English language has so many words from other languages is that many nations have invaded Britain before. Two thousand years ago Romans came from Italy, and stayed for ove
40、r four hundred years. After they left, came the Anglos (盎格鲁人 ), Saxons (撒克逊人 ) and Jutes (朱特人) from the northern part of Germany. In the ninth and tenth century Scandinavians invaded the northern and eastern parts of the country. Finally, in the eleventh century William Normandy(诺曼底) came from Franc
41、e, and became the King of England. Thus the French civilization and the French language were introduced into Britain.34 Which two language6 are extinct? _（A）English and French（B） Roman and Greek（C） Latin and Greek（D）French and German 35 The vocabulary of the English is large because _ .（A）the Englis
42、h do not like to speak other languages（B） it came from different other languages（C） many English words come from Latin（D）Britain has a long history 36 How did French civilization come to Britain? _（A）William Normandy conquered England（B） Anglos, Saxons and Jutes came to Britain（C） Scandinavians live
43、d in the northern and eastern parts of the country（D）The Romans stayed in Britain 37 “Extinct Language“ is a language that _ .（A）is spoken by deed people（B） is spoken by Greek now（C） is now not spoken（D）is not spoken now but will be spoken soon 37 If you see someone drowning, speed is very important
44、. Once you get him out of the water, if he isnt breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely damaged. Support his neck, tilt his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the air way in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesnt work, start mo
45、uth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils (鼻孔) together with your fingers. Open your mouth wide and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, and then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute, keep going until professional help arrives.To bring a
46、 child back to life, keep your lips around its mouth and nose and gently blow into its mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If, in spite of your efforts, it starts turning blue grey colour, and you can feel no pulse, then pressing its chest is the
47、last chance of saving its life.With arms straight, rock forward, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbones. Dont be too hard, or you may break a rib (肋骨). Check how effectively you are by seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens,
48、 stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until an ambulance arrives.38 If you want to save someone drowning, you _ .（A）have to pull of your clothes first（B） should hurry to get him out of water as soon as possible（C） should first make out who he is（D）ought to throw a lifeboat to the person first 39 On
49、ce a person stops breathing, it means _ .（A）you have no more than 4 minutes to bring him to life again（B） his brain is completely damaged（C） he has passed away（D）there is no way to save his life 40 In doing mouth-to-mouth breathing, you have to _ .（A）open your mouth wide（B） take a deep breath（C） blow into his lungs（D）do all of the above 四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are
