In most English­speaking countries, 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 pliments(赞美) on clothing or hair are acceptable；however, you should never say anything (good or bad) about a person's body.Also, it is not safe to discuss subjects that society thinks controversial(有争议的) such as religion or st，it is not wise to continue talking about an issue that the other person does not seem comfortable with or interested in.
5．According to Paragraph 1, the author thinks that small talk in certain situations is ．
A．boring B．fixed
C．hard D．important
【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】 D
6．The underlined word “commence” in Paragraph 2 probably means“”

【解析】词义猜测题。

B．commenting on his body
C．complimenting him on his clothes
D．discussing religion or politics
【解析】细节理解题。

【答案】 C
C
【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 C．S.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 mustn't 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 hard ships.”“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.It's believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books
to reality.It's what good literature does—it makes life larger.
8．According to the first paragraph, C．S.Lewis
thinks that ．
A．children shouldn't read any fantasy story because it is bad
B．adults shouldn't do things that may frighten their children
C．death and badness should be kept out of children's minds
D．writing 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 mustn't 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】 B
9．What probably is St.George according to the text?
A．He is a policeman in real life.
B．He is a murderer caught by the police.
C．He is a brave man in a fantasy novel.
D．He 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】 C
10．Why should children read fantasy literature according to Bruno Bettelheim?
A．Because it encourages children to have a lot of fantasies.
B．Because it helps children overcome fears and find solutions.
C．Because it teaches children to write their own fantasy stories.
D．Because 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】 B

D．most 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.It's 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】 B
D
Tell 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 people's 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 almos t 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 don't 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 ma nager­worker 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 everybody's story.”
12．What do we learn about American storytellers from Paragraph 2?
A．They share the same way of storytelling.
B．They prefer to tell stories from other cultures.
C．They learn their stories from the American
natives.
D．They 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】 D
13．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggests that prisoners can ．A．start a new life
B．settle down in another place
C．direct films
D．become 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】 A
14．Pugh has practiced storytelling with groups of people.
A．2 B．3 C．4 D．5
【解析】细节理解题。

由文中第四段的内容可知答案为B。

【答案】 B
15．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Storytelling can influence the way people think.
B．Storytelling is vital to the growth of businesses.
C．Storytelling is the best way to educate children in school.
D．Storytelling helps peopl e understand them­
selves 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 everybody's story.”可知此题选D。

【答案】 D
Ⅱ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original.
【参考范文】
Film or Book, Which Do You Prefer?
Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story.Besides, the film is usually more interesting，and it is easier to follow.
However, some others have just the opposite opinion.They think that they can get more detailed information from the original.Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.
Personally，I agree with the second view.Actually I have more reasons for it.I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own，and what's more，I am able to better understand the author's ideas.In a word，to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.。
