People with many different relationships use small talk. The most common types of people to use small talk are those who do not know each other at all. It is also common for people who are only acquaintances (熟人), often called a “friend of a friend”, to use small talk.
There are certain “safe” topics that people usually make small talk about. The weather is probably the number one thing. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation. Another topic that is generally “safe” is current events, such as sports news and entertainment news. If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are not acceptable because you cannot be sure who his friends are when you do not know a person well.
People make small talk just about anywhere. Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might chat with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. Some social events (such as a party) require small talk among guests who do not know each other very well.
The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone. However, the next time you see each other, you might just smile and say nothing. Do not interrupt two people in order to discuss something unimportant, such as the weather. If someone is reading a book or writing a letter in a waiting room, it is not proper to initiate a conversation either.
1. The third paragraph mainly tells us .
A. how people make small talk
B. people like making small talk
C. why people make small talk

B. When people feel lonely, they will start small talk.

Kenya is losing an average of 100 of its 2,000 lions each year because of growing human settlements, increasing farming, climate change and diseases,according to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
“ Lions have a special place in Kenyans’life,” said Paul Udoto,a spokesman for the organization. “ Other than being the symbol of national strength, they are among the Big Five, a main attraction for visitors to Kenya. ”
There were 2,749 lions in Kenya in 2002 and Uieir population dropped to 2,280 by 2004 and to about 2,000 today, according to KWS figures.
“The fall of the lion population is worrying and every effort needs to be made to make sure that Kenya either protects its population of 2, 000 lions at present or increases the numbers to an ecologically acceptable level,” said Mr. Udoto.
“There is no doubt that the numbers are in free fall. I’ d be surprised if they even last as long as 20 years,” said Laurence Frank, project director of Living With Lions, a Kenya-based animal protection organization? i? When I first came here 30 years ago,I would always hear lions roaring across the land at night and see their tracks in the morning. Now that is very rare.
“The reason is simple。As the numbers of people grow and the numbers of cows increase they take up much of the lion’s space. Alongside that there are other ways, including poisoning 9 to kill lions. ”
Animal lovers are making a new strategy to save the animals. Part of the measures will include tracking lions fitted with radio collars in the Amboseli area in southern Kenya, close to the border with Tanzania.
Wildlife officials in Tanzania face similar challenges in protecting their lions, but there is far less human encroachment (侵入)on the animals’ homeland there than in Kenya,
1.What is the main reason of Kenya appreciating lions’ existence?
A. lions are the symbol of the national strength.
B. Lions are among the most endangered animals.
C. Lions are a subject of great concern to Kenyans.
D. Lions are the major appeal for foreign tourists.
2.What does Laurence Frank mean by saying “they even last as long as 20 years ”?
A. It is alarming that the number of lions is declining at a high speed.
B. It is amazing that he has tolerated the decline for such a long time.
C. It is fascinating that many evidences have proven the decline trend,
D.It is surprising that a lion should live as long as twenty years in Kenya.
3.In which aspect does the striking difference between Kenya and Tanzania in lion protection lie?
A.Climate changes.
B.Increasingly fanning.
C.Natural disasters*
D.Outbreaks of epidemics (流行病).

Self-confidence, motivation (动机), support and knowledge are the main factors determining if one succeeds or fails. Each of these factors influences our chances of success in a different way. 1. .
Lack of self-confidence is probably the most dreadful enemy of success. 2. Even the most capable person is sure to fail with such an attitude. If it is your case too, improving your self-confidence is a must.
Motivation is equally as important as self-confidence. 3. You may even not try to achieve the goal that lies before you. It is important to find out what is the best motivation for you. If you have to do something that does not motivate you, just treat yourself with a reward after you succeed. Of course, this reward should consist of something that will motivate you to pursue(追求) a success.
4. While it is not a must for succeeding in your goals, a lack of support can often lead to failure. It is also true that some people cannot succeed without a proper support from their surroundings. These people often lose their motivation or worse, their self-confidence. If you know such a person, supporting him or her is a right thing to do. Also surround yourself with the right people. You will see the results soon.
Pursuing realistic goals is also important for a success. You should always make sure that your goals are achievable. 5. Unrealistic goals usually lead to a fast failure and also make many people embarrassed.
A. As we know, many people try but do not succeed.
B. Consider all your knowledge and skills when setting up a goal.
C. Motivation is something in yourself that can push you forwards.
D. There are several main reasons why some people cannot succeed.
E. Supportive family and collective workplace are also very important.
F. Without it, you will not push yourself towards a better performance.
G. Thinking you are not good enough to achieve your goals is the same as deciding that you will not succeed.

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 1. I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 2. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
3. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that in speaking, your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, talking to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can.Even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter. 4.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 5.
A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.
B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
C. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!
D. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.
E. The second reason lies in the reluctance (勉强)of using what has just been learned.
F. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
G. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
FOR most people, life without plants is unimaginable. They feed us, clean up our air and brighten up our gardens. But what if someone told you that even our smartphones can benefit from plants?
Meet the scientists from the Freiburg University of Mining and Technology in Germany. According to reports from Reuters, they have come up with a way to take the important element germanium (锗) from plants.
The element was first discovered in Germany (hence the name) and was used to develop the first transistor (晶体管) because it can transport electricity very quickly. Nowadays, silicon-germanium alloy (硅锗合金) plays an important role in making computers, smartphones and fiber-optic cables (光纤电缆).
Although germanium can be found in soil around the world, it is difficult to extract (提取). In the traditional process, people take the material after zinc (锌) mining or burning coal. But the Freiburg scientists decided to fall back on the natural world.
Biology professor Hermann Heilmeier is one of the scientists who are using common plants for this uncommon process. “Different energy crops are being planted, for example, sunflowers, corn ... we want to use them for phytomining. In German we call it ‘mining with plants’.”
Others have used this method in the past with metals like gold and copper (铜). But in their study, the Freiburg scientists brought germanium from the soil into the roots and shoots of the plants, harvested them and then took the element from the plants. The process did not cost too much because germanium can be taken after plants are processed for use as biogas (沼气). So many of the costs are already covered in existing biogas plants.
However, there is still a lot of work to do before we can all experience the benefits. At the moment germanium can only be harvested in very small amounts, just a few milligrams per liter. Now scientists are working on different plants to improve this.
“As is so often the case, industry is still waiting because they want to see everything already working. Then they say, ‘We’ll have it.’ But of course we have to complete the step in between first,” said Professor Martin Bertau, head of industrial chemistry at Freiburg University.
1.We can learn from the article that germanium ______.
A. is mostly produced in Germany
B. can effectively transfer electricity
C. exists mostly in soil and water
D. is very easy to get from nature
2. What can we conclude from the article?
A. Germanium can be easily produced during the process of mining zinc or burning coal.
B. Sunflowers and corn are currently the most efficient plants to use when extracting germanium.
C. The process of harvesting germanium from plants isn’t costly because after harvesting, the plants can be used for biogas.
D. The new method for extracting germanium that the Freiburg scientists are trying is greener and cheaper than the traditional one.
3. According to the article, phytomining ______.
A. is a completely new method for extracting metals
B. has been widely used in extracting all kinds of rare metals
C. has different productivity depending on the type of energy crop
D. is now being tested on types of plants that it has never been tried on
4.Which of the following statements would Professor Martin Bertau agree with?
A. Many businesses have already started contributing money to this research.
B. Industry and science have stronger and closer connections than is generally expected.
C. People from related industries showed no interest in extracting germanium from plants.
D. Germanium has to be extracted from plants in large quantities before this type of extraction becomes industrialized.
