Ⅴ.阅读理解(2025·烟台莱山区期末)
“How was your weekend？” “Did you see the game on TV last night？” “Isn’t the weather beautiful today？” These questions and the answers to them are examples of “small talk”—the short， friendly conversations that people have with friends and parents.
Some people avoid making small talk at work. They don’t think they should talk about things that aren’t important for the job， or their partners won’t think they are serious about their work. And some people just don’t enjoy making small talk about themselves.
　▲　 Knowing how to make proper small talk is a skill that can help you a lot. By making small talk， you show that you’re friendly and interested in your partners. You can become a better team member. If you don’t make small talk， others might feel uncomfortable around you and think you’re unfriendly. Peter Harper， a manager at the Apex Company in the USA said， “We always look for friendly workers who know how to communicate with each other and with our customers.”
Here are some tips for successful small talk. You can talk about safe topics such as the weather， sports， hobbies， TV programs， and famous people. You can also share some information about your family such as birthday parties and other family events， but don’t share very personal information like family problems. You can talk about the news too， but avoid topics on money， age， weight and so on.
Listening is an important part of small talk. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying and ask questions. Don’t just talk about yourself. And remember to smile！ Making small talk takes practice. The more you do it， the better you’ll be at making small talk！

Ⅱ.语法填空
阅读下面短文，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。
In most languages， a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather： “Nice day， 1.　　　　it？” “Terrible weather， 2.　　　　 it？” “I don’t think it often rains here， 3.　　　　(do) it？” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something that both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. “He thinks she will come， 4.　　　　(do not)he？” “They
5.　　　　(be)never late for school， were they？” “It is unfair，
6.　　　　 it？” “Everyone 7.　　　　(can)decide for themselves， can’t they？” This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable.
isn’t
isn’t
does
doesn’t
were
isn’t
can
People usually agree about the weather， so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics， so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches， people make small talk about the game they are watching： “Great players， aren’t
8.　　　　(their)？” At bus stops， people may comment about the transport system： “The bus service 9.　　　　(be)terrible， isn’t it？” “Let’s go there by taxi， 10.　　　　 we？”
they
is
shall
Greetings and small talk are important parts of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about， however， may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.

关于“闲聊”的介绍
A.什么是闲聊？
闲聊是轻松的对话，在人们遇到别人时帮他们打发时间。
无言的沉默常常使我们感到紧张，因此这是填补那些时刻的
一种方式。在英语中，人们常常说它是“打破沉默”。当你在
机场或公共汽车站排队等候时，你可以闲聊。虽然我们谈论
的事情通常是不重要的，但是闲聊本身很重要。它让其他人
感觉放松并很好地打发时间。
B.一项日常活动
对一些人来说，闲聊是一种常见的交流方式。例如，商务旅行者总是会遇见新朋友，并且通常会在讨论严肃的生意之前进行闲聊。他们可能会被问及是怎样到会的，或者宾馆是否舒适。商店或餐馆里的工作人员也发现当他们服务顾客的时候，闲聊是有帮助的。
C.文化的相似之处
几乎每一个国家的人都闲聊。他们谈话的内容可能差异很大，但闲聊的基本规则经常是相同的。在大多数文化中，微笑并使对话保持轻松幽默是重要的。让别人微笑能令他们感到放松。
D.文化差异
我们不应该讨论的事情也取决于文化。在中国，我们可以问人们是否已婚或他们是否有孩子。然而，许多西方人认为这些是私人话题，所以它们应该被避免。同样，中国人常见的问候“你吃了吗？”对一个说英语的人来说似乎是不可思议的。
E.我们应该谈论什么？
所以，通常我们应该谈论一些“安全的”话题，比如天气。这一点在许多文化中是共同的。在英格兰，人们经常谈论天气，可能是因为天气变化无常。然而，最重要的是给对方发言的机会并听他们说什么。

British people talk about the weather a lot—even when they’re not actually talking about the weather itself. When you meet someone in the street， you don’t need to say， “How are you？” You just say， “Lovely day， isn’t it？” or “Goodness， it’s cold！” and straight away you seem like a nice person. 1.___________
D
My Chinese is OK—but only OK. I can order food and buy T shirts， but what I really want to do is have a chat(聊天) with Chinese people in a friendly way. So I asked my Chinese teacher how to ask “How’s the weather？” in Chinese. I was surprised at his response. “Only scientists and weather forecasters use the word ‘weather’—it’s very technical，” he said.
In Britain， people like to really discuss the weather. 2.___________ They know the difference between “cloudy” and “overcast”； they want to know whether it’s “pouring”， “drizzling” or just “spitting” with rain.
B
However， in Chinese， weather is often just “good” or “not good”. So how do Chinese people make small talk？ 3.___________ In Chinese， it is： “Ni chi le ma？” If British people talk about the weather all the time， it is nothing compared with how much Chinese people talk about food.
4.___________ You could tell the time by looking at what kind of food is being served from street vendors. Rice porridge and baozi in the morning， corns at lunch， egg pancakes at dinner， and meat， meat， meat， all hours of the day and night.
C
A
5.___________ So it shouldn’t be too hard for anyone to get used to this kind of chat. The question is what British people will think when someone has spent time in China， then goes home and can’t stop discussing their eating habits. Too many food discussions might make British listeners feel lost.
F
A.Food might reflect different times of day.
B.That’s because Britain’s weather is always changing.
C.Their conversation often starts with “Have you eaten？” instead.
D.Such greetings can help make more friends.
E.They like to use exact words to describe the weather.
F.Food is common here as the weather in Britain.

“What do you think I should do？” asks your friend， as she sits beside you， waiting for your advice. This is no easy situation. Say something your friend disagrees with or something helpless， and you might feel you’ve disappointed her.
It’s human nature to want to offer solutions when someone comes to you with a problem. It’s also easy to fall into the trap of simply saying that “Everything will be OK”. 1.___________ But we often say that because we believe we need to say something. This is because we’re glad that our friend has come to us for help， even if we don’t really think we’re able to give it. 2.___________ The answer is yes... if it’s done in the right way.
In fact， friends often really only want someone to listen to them. It’s important to try to work out whether they’re actually asking for advice， or simply wanting to talk over whatever is going round in their head. 3.___________ There’s no harm in asking whether they’d like you to give suggestions.
B
C
F
It’s also important to be honest. If you’re unable to think of a way to solve your friends’ problem， just say so. Your friends won’t feel upset， and you can still listen carefully and try to put yourself in their shoes. 4._________ You can ask yourself “What would I do if I were to experience the same thing？” Later you can go back to your friends with a few helpful suggestions.
G
5.___________ It can be hard to listen to your friends going over and over the same thing without being able to help them. They will certainly be thankful if you just allow them to “talk it out”， though. Maybe they’re building up courage to take action， and need to convince(说服) themselves they’re doing the right thing. Just being there for them may be all you have to do to make things better.
E
A.Friendship is the most important to us.
B.This is not actually useful for your friend.
C.So is it a good idea to try to give advice at all？
D.You can find someone else to ask for their ideas.
E.Sometimes a problem doesn’t go away overnight.
F.Talking may make people feel better all by themselves.
G.Then you can go away and try to think of something helpful.

“It’s so cold.”
“Yes， it is. I’m wearing my long johns(秋裤) today.”
This short conversation may happen when you meet your classmate at school. The conversation is a good example of small talk.
In many cultures， small talk is a big deal. Although it may seem like a meaningless conversation to pass the time or avoid an embarrassing silence， sometimes it is actually very important for communicating and connecting with others.
According to American expert Melissa Wadsworth， small talk is about finding out possibilities(可能性). Having good small talk skills is the best way to meet new people， which can lead to friendships， jobs or other goals(目标). Besides that， small talk can also encourage empathy(感同身受)， making you consider what another person feels or thinks.
What’s the best way to break the ice and start talking to people？ Well， some of the most common topics include the weather， hobbies， work， family and travel. These topics are all easy for people to talk about. Sometimes， it may seem a little bit difficult to start a conversation with people you don’t know. That’s OK！ Everyone has this problem sometimes. Remember that small talk might just be the first step to something much bigger.

Small Talk
Some people don’t know that making small talk is useful. They only talk about things that they think are important. As a result， they become quiet people. In fact， making small talk isn’t a waste of your time. And it can even help you communicate better.
What’s more， we should choose some right topics to talk about. The weather， the popular TV shows and sports games are all good topics. We should avoid talking about personal privacy. Family income， family problems and classmates’ looks aren’t safe topics.
Making small talk is important. Learning more skills at making small talk can help you to be a good communicator.

One possible version：
Be a Good Listener
I strongly believe it is important to be a good listener. I used to feel stressed before the exam. However， I kept it to myself. As a result， I felt worried and couldn’t pay attention to what the teacher said in class. One day， after I bravely told it to my close friend， I felt so relaxed.
Being a good listener plays an important role in communication. Parents should listen to their children， so they will understand them better.Teachers should also listen to their students so that they can increase their understanding and improve relationships. Students should listen to their classmates， and then their friendship will be stronger and they will help each other.
In a word， good listening can really make us get closer to each other.
