    阅读下列材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

    Being a veterinarian(兽医), I had to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their boy Shane, loved Belker very much.

    I examined Belker and found him 1. (die) of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do 2. for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia(安乐死) procedure in their home.

    As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought 3. would be good for six-year-old Shane to watch. They felt Shane might learn something.

    The next day, Belker’s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting(拍) the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood 4. was happening. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped 5. (peaceful) away.

    The little boy seemed to accept it without any difficulty. We sat together after Belker’s death, 6. (wonder) why animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, having listened quietly, said, “I know 7. .”

    8. (surprise), we all turned to him. What he said next amazed me. It has changed my life.

    He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live 9. good life—like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?”

    The six-year-old boy continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, 10. they don’t have to stay as long.”

    Security guard, truck driver, salesperson—year after year, these jobs appear on lists of the unhappiest careers. Although many factors can make a job unhappy, unusual hours, low pay, no chance for advancement — these three gigs stand out for another reason: a lack of small talk.

    Psychologists have long said that connecting with others is central to well-being, but just how much conversation we require is under investigation. In one study, researchers eavesdropped(窃听) on undergraduates for four days, then cataloged each overheard conversation as either small talk (What do you have there? Popcorn?(Yummy!) or serious (So did they get divorced soon after?). They found that the second type related with happiness—the happiest students had roughly twice as many serious talks as the unhappiest ones. Small talk, meanwhile, made up only 10 percent of their conversation, versus almost 30 percent of conversation among the least content students.

    However, don't just consider chat worthless yet. Scientists believe that small talk could promote linking. Chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago travelers varying directions about whether to talk with fellow train passengers something they typically avoided. Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey than those told to enjoy your being alone or to do whatever they normally would. None of the chatters reported being rejected. And the results held for introverts(内向者) and extroverts(外向者) alike which makes sense, since acting extroverted has a positive effect on introverts.

    Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the business. Similarly, one not yet published paper found that when volunteers broke the silence of the Tate Modern to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.

    So go ahead, pry. Chitchat needn’t be idle. And nosiness isn’t all bad.

    A. unusual hours and low pay

    B. a lack of small talk

    C. no chance for advancement

    D．Small talk cannot help make us feel happy.

    3.The author used the Tate Modern example to demonstrate that ________.

    A. connecting with others is key to our happiness

    B. unserious conversation could promote bonding

    C. small talk can help us feel connected to our surroundings

    D. smiling can help people gain a great sense of belonging

    4.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?

    In the English language there are striking similarities to many of the characteristics present in Spanish, French, and German. So what are the things that make English so difficult for foreign people to learn?

    English doesn’t necessarily have more regular consonant(辅音) or vowel(元音) sounds than other languages, but how the stress is placed on some of those consonants or vowels makes it such a difficult language for learners. There are hard and soft consonants like “c” taking on a “k” sound or an “s” sound depending upon the situation. There are silent letters in some words and then some consonants that take on an entirely different sound ( like “th” ) when combined. The changes in the pronunciation of words make English much more difficult to learn.

    Another thing that makes English difficult to learn has to do with verb tense. Some languages have very limited changes in verb tense, sometimes just present and past, which makes it relatively simple to grasp. English, on the other hand, is a bit more difficult in this area. For example, in different situations it may be proper to use any of the following tenses: present, past, future, past perfect or present perfect. The verb “choose” can be used in the following forms depending on tense: choose, chose or chosen. This can be very difficult for a foreigner to grasp.

    Slang(俚语) is more widely used in American English than proper grammar. In the US just knowing the language as it’s generally taught isn’t enough. In every single region or even close neighborhoods, the same slang terms make an almost entirely different language. In some areas there are repeatedly used terms that wouldn’t even be found in the Webster’s Dictionary. They are created by locals and only locals understand them. This can make it very difficult for someone not familiar with the language to get used to it, especially if they don’t remain in one area for a very long period.

    1.The purpose of this passage is to ________.

    A. tell us how to deal with slang terms in English

    B. encourage us to speak formal English

    C. tell us why English is very difficult to learn

    D. give advice on how to learn English well

    2.According to the passage, the letter “c” in English ________.

    A. is often silent

    B. has at least two sounds

    C. never takes on an “s” sound

    D. is always stressed

    3.Compared with other languages, ________.

    A. English has very limited changes in verb tense

    B. English has relatively simple verb tense to grasp

    C. English has more forms of verbs according to the tense

    D. English has three more verb tenses

    4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

    A. pronunciation is the most difficult thing in English learning

    B. all the slang terms should be added to the Webster’s Dictionary

    C. if you want to learn English well you first should learn some slang terms

    D. people may understand the local language after living in a place for years

    At first, the earth’s surface(表面) layer (层) was made up of huge blocks of hard, solid rocks. Then slowly, the rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebbles (卵石) and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.

    There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and cracks (裂缝) in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.

    The moving water of streams and rivers also helps to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with it small pieces of rock. These rub the larger ones. Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.

    The heat of the sun is also helpful to breaking up rocks. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot. If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and the cracks become wider, and finally break into smaller pieces.

    1.According to the passage, soil ________.

    A. forms very slowly

    B. is a mixture of stones, pebbles and sand

    C. makes up the layers of the earth

    D. is becoming smaller and smaller

    2.How many factors are mentioned in helping break up rocks?

    A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. More than five.

    3.Which of the following speeds up(加速) the breaks of rocks most?

    A. Hot weather.

    B. Cold water.

    C. Sharp changes in temperature.

    D. More dead plants in the cracks.

    4.Which of the following is NOT true?

    A. The remains of many plants and animals formed soil.

    B. If a large rock never moves, it will never break up.

    C. Even if a large rock never moves, it will break up.

    D. Ice in the cracks helps to break up rocks.
