In our daily life，it is necessary to make small talk in certain situations.It helps to fill time between people when it is completely quiet.You may not feel like talking with someone else or you are very shy at the beginning，but it is sometimes thought to be rude to say nothing.‎ People use small talk almost every day.It usually takes place when you meet someone you don’t know at all or someone you’re not familiar with.For example，waitresses and hairdressers often make small talk with their customers.If you happen to be outside when the mailman comes to your door，you might make small talk with him，too.‎ Most often，small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something.For example，you might talk with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive.People also make small talk in a doctor’s waiting room，or when they are waiting in a line to buy something.At the office，‎ people make small talk in elevators or lunchrooms，especially if there is a lineup.Mingling is often required among people who don’t know each other very well at a party.In other words，they are expected to walk around and talk with others.‎ The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone on a given day.For example，if you see a coworker in the lounge (休息室) you might say hello and discuss the sports or weather.However，the next time you see each other you might just smile and say nothing.If there is very little noise，it might be the right time to start a pleasant conversation.If someone is reading a book at the bus stop，it is probably not a good idea to start a conversation.Another good time to make small talk is during a break in a meeting when there is nothing important going on.However，it is important to recognize the signal when the other person wants the conversation to stop.‎ ‎29．The underlined word “Mingling” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by________.‎ A．Honesty B．Politeness C．Understanding D．Conversation ‎30．The third paragraph mainly talks about ________.‎ A．where small talk happens B．when to make small talk C．how to make small talk D．why people make small talk ‎31．The author develops the last paragraph mainly by________.‎ A．providing examples B．giving explanations C．telling stories D．discussing questions ‎32．We can learn from the text that small talk________.‎ A．always makes people uncomfortable B．won’t happen among strangers C．is often thought to be unnecessary D．can help to break the silence D An old car carried Elvis Presley and his parents out of Mississippi to a better life in Memphis，Tennessee.However，life did not improve for thirteenyearold Elvis，who was immediately recognized as being different from the other teens in his neighborhood.He talked with a thicker southern accent than his classmates.Even the way he dressed set him apart.He wore bright colors instead of the more traditional styles other students preferred.Not surprisingly，young Elvis avoided social situations.‎ One of Elvis’s few pleasures was music，an interest that his mother，Gladys Love Presley，supported by buying him a guitar.He made his first demo (样本唱片) album the summer after graduation，but instead of offering it to a record company，he gave it to his mother.After Presley performed at an audition (试音)，singer Eddie Bond shook his head and told ‎ the eighteenyearold，“You’re never going to make it as a singer.” ‎ His confidence shaken，Presley took a job at Crown Electric Company，driving a delivery truck.Months later，a studio asked Presley to perform the song Without You.Although the owner of the studio，Sam Phillips，was impressed with Presley’s performance，he did not like the way he performed the song.At Phillips’s suggestion，Presley recorded two other songs，That’s All Right and Blue Moon of Kentucky.These two singles helped him land performances at local clubs.Although he was not earning enough to give up his day job，it was a start.The future looked bright when Presley landed a fourweek performing tour in Las Vegas，but the tour was cut in half because of poor ticket sales.‎ Sadness turned to hope when Presley was asked to perform on the Grand Ole Opry，a live radio show.But he was refused after only one performance，and the manager Jimmy Denny told him，“You are going nowhere，son.You ought to go back to driving a truck.”‎ Perhaps the sadness led him to release Heartbreak Hotel the following year.The song topped the R&B，pop and country music charts (排行榜)，and started Presley’s great career.He became one of the most successful and popular singers of all time.‎ ‎33.Young Elvis’s life in Memphis can be described as________.‎ A．exciting B．lonely C．happy D．busy ‎34．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A．Sam Phillips helped Elvis Presley start his music career.‎ B．Elvis Presley’s music won the support of his mother.‎ C．Elvis Presley found it difficult to find a job.‎ D．Sam Phillips made Elvis Presley popular all over the country.‎ ‎35．What does the story of Elvis Presley tell us?‎ A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Success never comes easily.‎ C．It’s never too late to learn. D．Actions speak louder than words.‎ 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How do you stay true to yourself when you’re surrounded by friends and/or family that have an opinion on everything you do？It’s not easy！__36__Here are 4 tips which can help you live a dynamic life.‎ ‎__37__‎ Stay true to yourself by listening to the only opinions that really matter—your own and those from people who believe in and encourage you.Deep down you know yourself better than ‎ anybody else.‎ Don’t fear people ‎__38__The reason why most people don’t take risks，or live on the edge is the fear of what others might think of them.
