Unit 1 Living well .閱讀理解(2018·全國)Weve all been there:in a lift,in line at the bank or on an airplane,surrounded by people who are,like us,deeply focused on their smartphones or,worse,struggling with the uncomfortable silence.Whats the problem?Its possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence.Its more likely that none of us start a conversation because its awkward and challenging,or we think its annoying and unnecessary.But the next time you find yourself among strangers,consider that small talk is worth the trouble.Experts say its an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy,but we cant forget that deep relationships wouldnt even exist if it werent for casual conversation.Small talk is the grease(潤滑劑) for social communication,says Bernardo Carducci,director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,”he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others,not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study,Elizabeth Dunn,associate professor of psychology at UBC,invited people on their way into a coffee shop.One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互動) with its waiter;the other,to speak only when necessary.The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “Its not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,”says Dunn.“ But interactions with peripheral(邊緣的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging,a bond with others.Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.“ Small talk is the basis of good manners,”he says.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。作者通過建議陌生人之間進(jìn)行交流引出本文的話題閑談,并介紹了閑談的益處,指出“閑談是禮貌的基礎(chǔ)”。1.What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.Addiction to smartphones.B.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C.Absence of communication between strangers.D.Impatience with slow service.答案C解析推理判斷題。第一段描述:我們在電梯里,或在銀行、機(jī)場排隊(duì)時,周圍滿是盯著手機(jī)屏幕的人,甚至是與讓人不舒服的沉默作斗爭的人。故可知,第一段描述的是陌生人之間缺少交流的一種現(xiàn)象。故選C項(xiàng)。2.What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A.Showing good manners.B.Relating to other people.C.Focusing on a topic.D.Making business deals.答案B解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的最后一句可知,成功的閑談的關(guān)鍵是學(xué)習(xí)如何與他人取得聯(lián)系,而不僅僅是交流,故選B項(xiàng)。3.What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A.It improves family relationships.B.It raises peoples confidence.C.It matters as much as a formal talk.D.It makes people feel good.答案D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第三句中的“significantly higher positive feelings”可知,在咖啡店,與服務(wù)員進(jìn)行簡短的交流,會讓你有很顯著的愉快的情緒和更好的咖啡館體驗(yàn),也就是說,你的心情會很好,故選D項(xiàng)。4.What is the best title for the text?A.Conversation CountsB.Ways of Making Small TalkC.Benefits of Small TalkD.Uncomfortable Silence答案C解析主旨大意題。縱觀全文可知,文章以陌生人之間幾乎無交流的現(xiàn)象引出本文主題閑談,緊接著通過實(shí)例介紹了閑談的好處,故C項(xiàng)最適合作本文標(biāo)題。.七選五Everyone wants to become a better person,but many of us dont know what to

learn how to keep your dignity”可知,該段主要講述要學(xué)會保持你的尊嚴(yán),這也是成為一個更好的人需要做的另一件重要的事情。E項(xiàng)概括了這一主題,適合做該段主題句。4.D主題句講,要分享你的時間、精力和天賦。聯(lián)系下文可知,你也許并不清楚自己的天賦,但你一定具備。由此可知,D項(xiàng)“包括你在內(nèi),人人都有自己的天賦”與下文話題聯(lián)系密切,符合語境。5.B根據(jù)該段主題句和內(nèi)容可知,該段主要講述人要一直學(xué)習(xí)新的東西。故B項(xiàng)“當(dāng)你學(xué)得越多,你就會感覺越好”照應(yīng)該段主題句承接上文話題“Knowledge is always great.”,符合語境。.完形填空Last night it was still light out when I returned home from work.My new neighbor and his son were in their favorite place,outside in the 1,playing ball.The young boy always
