Small talk like “What do you have there Ice cream ” or “The weather today is beautiful, isn’t it ” is not
meaningful to some people. But scientists believe that it is more useful than it may appear to be in fact.
In a study, scientists asked people at Chicago train stations to start to talk with other travellers. Most of them
refused (拒绝) to do so at first because they didn’t think they could get a friendly answer. But the result was
opposite. Most strangers were happy to talk with others.
“People are social animals,” Nicholas Epley, one of the scientists said. “It turned out that they also wanted to
know others.”
Besides making you happy, talking with strangers can also help you feel connected with your environment.
Some students found that when people often smiled at, made eye contact with and talked with other people in
public places, they would have a sense of belonging instead of feeling lonely.
And if you are used to talking with strangers, you can try to talk with people about something different. A
study showed that having deep and meaningful talk gave you more happiness than small talk.
46. What does the underlined word “opposite” mean in English
A. Much better than people hoped.
B. Different from expected.
C. The same as expected.
47. Why did Nicholas say “People are social animals” in Paragraph 3
A. To explain why people refuse to talk with strangers.
B. To show that people naturally want to connect with others.
C. To prove that talking with strangers makes people feel happy.
48. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The benefits of having small talk with strangers.
B. What kind of small talk can make people happy.
C. Why people feel lonely when in public.
49. How can people get more happiness from small talk
A. By starting with easy topics.
B. By talking to more strangers at the same time.
C. By turning the small talk into deep and meaningful talk.
50. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. Small talk can be very useful.
B. Different opinions about small talk.
C. How to start small talk in our daily life.
C
The Dead Sea (死海) is located in the Jordan Rift Valley in southwest Asia. It sits at about 430 metres below
sea level, making it the lowest point on Earth’s land.
What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with a salt concentration (含盐度) of
more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical (典型的) seawater. This makes it one of the
saltiest bodies of water on Earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall,
and only a small amount (数量) of fresh water flows (流入) into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea
causes the fresh water to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these
reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn’t see any sea life — no plants or animals. The high salt
concentration makes it impossible for them to survive there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.
However, don’t let the name scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The
high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float (漂浮) well without life jackets. In fact, many
people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the shore, you’ll probably see many people
floating in the water, reading books or magazines.
51. What is special about the salt level of the Dead Sea
A. It is less salty than typical seawater.
B. It is the saltiest body of water on Earth.
C. It is about eight times saltier than normal seawater.
52. Which of the following helps make the Dead Sea so salty
A. A lot of fresh water flowing into it.
B. The hot weather causing fast evaporation.
C. Heavy rainfall every year.
53. Why is the Dead Sea called “dead”
A. Because no living things can survive there.
B. Because its water is too cold for life.
C. Because it has no water.
54. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Swimming in the Dead Sea is tiring.
B. Swimming skills are important in the Dead Sea.
C. People can enjoy themselves in the Dead Sea.
55. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Plants and Animals in the Dead Sea
B. The Dead Sea: A Lake Like No Other
C. How to Stay Safe in the Dead Sea
