话题一良好的人际关系与社会交往(A)A[2019·安徽示范高中高三考试]“Joe? Is that you？”The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. “Marci？” I asked. “It is you！”she cried out, smiling broadly. “It's good to see you again！”It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I've wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really a surprise.We spent a few minutes talking about our lives — the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment, “You know, Joe，”she said，“I've always wanted to tell you how...how... sorry I am for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally. ”I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her.“It's OK，” I said，“No big deal！”“But I was such a jerk，” she continued. Yes, you were, I thought.“We were both pretty young，”I smiled.“I know，”she said.“It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.” The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes — it looked a lot like relief.“OK，” I said. “Apology accepted！” Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.It isn't enough to just say “I'm sorry”and “You're forgiven”. But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart.Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul — even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.体裁：记叙文题材：个人经历主题：原谅创造的奇迹【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

“我”在棒球赛场见到了多年未见的朋友Marci。

之后我们都感觉到温暖和愉快。

【难句分析】I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci.分析：该句为主从复合句。

句中“who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci”为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a friend，who 在从句中作主语；该从句又含有that 引导的宾语从句“that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci”，作及物动词indicated的宾语。

译文：几年前，我和一个朋友聊天，那个朋友暗示20世纪90年代对Marci来说相当艰难，之后我几乎想要找她了。

1．What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?A．Happy. B．Busy.C．Hard. D．Simple.答案与解析：C考查细节理解。

根据第二段第三句“I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci”可知，在20世纪90年代Marci生活得很艰难，故C项正确。

【干扰项分析】A项意为“幸福的”，B项意为“忙碌的”，D项意为“简单的”，都与文意不符。

2．What does the underlined word “jerk”in the third paragraph mean?A．A humorous person. B．A cruel person.C．A careless person. D．An honest person.答案与解析：B考查词义猜测。

根据画线词下文中的“It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you”可知，当时她对“我”很刻薄，这件事一直困扰着她，再结合画线词所在句可知，她认为她是一个刻薄的人；据此可知，画线词与B项含义相近，故B项正确。

3．Why did Marci look in relief after talking with the author?A．Because her favorite team won the game.B．Because she learned Joe was living a good life.C．Because she made an apology to the author.D．Because she found she was not mean any longer.答案与解析：C考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“‘And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.’The expression on her face was warm and sincere.And there was something in her eyes —it looked a lot like relief”可知，由于Marci向我真诚地道了歉，所以她的眼里露出了轻松，故C项正确。

4．What might be the best title for the passage?A．Excitement of a Baseball GameB．Mental Burden of a WomanC．Miracles of ForgivenessD．Relief of Finding a Friend答案与解析：C考查标题判断。

通读全文可知，文章最后两句为全文的主题句；结合全文内容可知，本文通过讲述“我”接受朋友Marci的真诚道歉，体会到原谅可以抚慰受伤的心灵的故事，说明了原谅创造的奇迹，故C项最适合作为本文标题。

B[2018·全国卷Ⅱ·D]We've 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 uncomfortablesilence.What's the problem? It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂)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(互动) 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. “It's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband，”says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的)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.体裁：说明文题材：人际交往主题：闲聊的作用【文章大意】研究表明，闲聊对于人际交往起着重要的作用。
