What's the problem? It's possible that we all don't have enough conversational ability.It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's embarrassing 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 a valuable social practice that leads to big benefits. It is easy to consider small talk as unimportant, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist （存在） if there weren't casual conversations.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 secret to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.” In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, professor of psychology at UBC, invited people to a coffee shop.One group was asked to interact with its waiter, the other, to speak only when necessary.The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported obviously 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 is important for our happiness and health.” Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a greater sense of belonging, a link with others.Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk.“Small talk is the basis of good manners，” he says. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何和周围的人进行聊天及聊天的好处。 4．What does the underlined word “casual” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Addictive. B．Public. C．Personal. D．Informal. 解析：选D。词义猜测题。由画线词所在句“It is easy to consider small talk as unimportant, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist （存在） if there weren't casual conversations.（人们很容易认为闲聊不重要，但我们不能忘记，如果没有非正式的谈话，深层关系甚至不会存在）”可知，深层关系的存在是需要闲聊的，闲聊即“非正式的谈话”，因此画线词意为“非正式的”。故选D。 5．What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci? A．Showing good manners. B．Making business deals. C．Focusing on a topic. D．Keeping in contact with other people. 解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段的“The secret to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.（成功闲聊的秘诀是学会如何与他人建立联系，而不仅仅是与他们交流）”可知，Carducci认为，与他人建立联系对成功的闲聊很重要。故选D。 6．What does the coffee­shop study suggest about small talk? A．It raises people's confidence. B．It makes people feel good. C．It improves family relationships. D．It matters as much as a formal talk. 解析：选B。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported obviously higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience.（结果显示，那些与服务员聊天的人表现出明显更高的积极情绪和更好的咖啡店体验）”可知，和服务员聊天的人的情绪更高，即这会使人感觉更好，故选B。 7．What is the best title for the text? A．Conversation Counts B．Ways of Making Small Talk C．Importance of Small Talk D．Uncomfortable Silence 解析：选C。主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首段从当前社会中存在与陌生人缺乏交流的现象切入；第二段分析其原因并引入专家认为闲聊是非常宝贵的社会实践，能带来巨大好处的观点；第三段指出闲聊的必要性；第四段通过一项研究进一步具体指出闲聊的益处；最后一段说明闲聊是培养良好礼貌的基础。因此，本文主要是讲述闲聊的重要性，则C项“闲聊的重要性”可以作为标题。故选C。 C （2025·昆明高一检测）Ong uyan madongo? You probably don't know how to answer this question—unless you happen to be one of the nearly 430 people in the world who speak a language called Matukar Panau.Then you would know it means “How are you？” Matukar Panau is one of the world's rarest languages.It is spoken in just two small coastal villages in Papua New Guinea.With so few speakers, the language is vanishing and endangered.It has so few speakers that its words soon may never be spoken or heard again.David Harrison, a language expert at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, together with his teammates, didn't want that to happen to Matukar Panau.So they set out for Papua New Guinea.Their goal: use modern technology to help the remaining speakers preserve their native tongue. They interviewed native speakers and to their surprise, the locals replied with excitement and said, “The language is important for our identity （身份认同）.” These villagers even knew the Internet existed.They also knew it was a powerful tool for learning and sharing information.So these people wanted to use the Internet to help them. Together with the scientists, these villagers created a “talking dictionary”．This online resource provides translations between English and Matukar Panau and also includes the pronunciations, so users can listen to the correct pronunciation of each word. That same year, electricity and the Internet reached those coastal villages.For many, a first stop on the Internet was the “talking dictionary” they had helped create.It now includes more than 4，000 words and 171 photos that help explain those words. “The first time they saw the Internet, they could hear the voices of their elders and see them speaking their language，” Harrison said.The moment was powerful because it showed these villagers “their language is just as good as any other.” [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种濒危语言——Matukar Panau，以及科学家和当地村民如何通过现代技术保护这种语言。 8．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To introduce the topic. B．To explain an idea. C．To provide an example. D．To make comparisons. 解析：选A。推理判断题。本段通过提出一个问题引出本文要讲述的一种稀有的语言Matukar Panau，目的是引出话题。故选A。 9．What does the underlined word “vanishing” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Changing. B．Disappearing. C．Improving. D．Spreading. 解析：选B。词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“With so few speakers, the language is vanishing and endangered.”中“so few speakers”和“endangered”可知，说Matukar Panau语言的人太少，这种语言处于濒危之中。由此推知，画线词vanishing意思是 “消失”，与disappearing同义。故选B。 10．What amazed the researchers when interviewing the villagers? A．Their use of the Internet. B．Their protection of the coast. C．Their need to share information. D．Their wish to protect the language. 解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段中“They interviewed native speakers and to their surprise, the locals replied with excitement and said, ‘The language is important for our identity （身份认同）.’”可知，当研究人员采访村民时，让他们惊讶的是村民们保护语言的愿望。故选D。 11．How does the “talking dictionary” work? A．It teaches villagers how to get online. B．It helps natives master other languages. C．It turns written words into spoken ones. D．It records words and related information. 解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第四段“This online resource provides translations between English and Matukar Panau and also includes the pronunciations, so users can listen to the correct pronunciation of each word.”可知，“会说话的字典”将书面文字转化成语音，用户可以听到每个单词的正确发音。故选C。 D （2025·六盘水高一检测）Passant Sayed Khalil is a Chinese teacher at the Confucius Institute （孔子学院） of Cairo University in Egypt.She won the 18th “Chinese Bridge” World University Chinese Language Competition in 2019.From a shy girl to the world champion of the “Chinese Bridge” competition and then a young teacher at the University, Khalil has realized her lifelong dream of becoming an excellent Chinese teacher and promoting more cultural exchanges between China and Egypt.

My little taste of this amazing life was when I was 19 years old.I was selected among a small group of college classmates to spend a year abroad.This was long before people could travel the world through social media like Facebook and Twitter.In order to see a place, you had to go there and experienced it. I was raised in a middle­class family and couldn't afford to travel around the world the way I wished I could.The only way I knew about the world outside was through letters I wrote to pen pals from over a dozen countries as a kid, and from television.Growing up, I always loved the very funny British comedies that were shown on local public television every Saturday night.So when I got the chance to apply for a study abroad program, I chose London. Living abroad can be exciting, scary and challenging.I thought it would be easier because I spoke the same language as the local people did.But I also like to relish （享受） the little differences between the British and American culture and language.I also learned that in England, they spell words differently than in the U．S.In British spelling, they put a “u” in words like favor to make it “favour” and an “s” in words like analyze to make it “analyse”．I was able to adapt quickly to this new way of writing since I was submitting papers all the time for my classes. Academically, I got to take classes that weren't offered at my college back home.For example, I had a course in sociology and learned about the native people of Papua New Guinea. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 But there were also challenges that year too.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Sometimes the difficult times made me sad and homesick.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 [参考范文] But there were also challenges that year too.One of my classes was called “Europe Since 1870”．In the U．S., I would have expected an introductory history class, but in England, I was supposed to have already known the history.Now was the time to analyze it.That meant I not only had to learn the history as I went along but also had to try to write a paper explaining why certain events happened as they did.Despite this, I don't regret anything about my time in London.Even through painful experiences, I learn to grow. Sometimes the difficult times made me sad and homesick.But luckily, I met some classmates from all over the world, and these wonderful interactions with people watered down my negative feelings.I met dozens of interesting people from places like France, Greece and Germany, Palestine, and Australia.Learning how to make friends with people from different cultures and backgrounds is really fun.Moreover, interacting with these new friends helps me understand the countries they represent. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
