Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start
8、a conversation.Another topic that is generally safe is current events. As long as you are not discussing a controversial_issue,_such as a recent law concerning equal rights, it is usually safe to discuss that. Entertainment and sports news is another good topic. If there is something that you and th
9、e other person have in common, that may also be acceptable to talk about. For example, if the bus is extremely full and there are no seats available, you might talk about the reasons why.

11、ersons body.Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are also not acceptable. When you do not know a person well, you cannot be sure who their friends are. You do not talk about private issues either, because you do not know if you can trust the other person with your
12、secrets or personal information.

16、sly, his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family，” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others，and Im very worried about him. Can you help？”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I hel
17、p him? There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didnt say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall
18、 behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoonin complete silence and without looking at me. Its not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the che
19、ss board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some mont
20、hs later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“Its your turn，” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times，about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had r

26、你认为要过多久我才能返回工作岗位？哦，下周末你就会感觉好很多的。“It will be一段时间before.”句型表示“要过时间才”，符合句意。3B句意：他说他一到家就给你打电话。名词性短语the moment 在此处起连词的作用，用于引导时间状语从句，表示“一就”。4B句意：他缺席数周，因此他有很多作业要补。be absent缺席；make up弥补。5A考查动词的词义辨析。reply“回答，答复”；react“反应”；repay“偿还”；request“请求，要求”。根据句意，应选A项。6C考查动词的词义辨析。interrupt表示“打断某人的谈话”；ask“询问”；bother“麻烦”；
27、doubt“怀疑”。根据句意，应选C项。7Ado yourself a favour“自己照顾自己”，此为固定表达。句意：尤其当妈妈离开时，自己要照顾自己。8A考查动词短语。left out“省略，漏掉”，left behind“把落在后面”；left off“停止，中断”；left over常用在be left over中表示“剩下”。9Aapologize to sb. for(doing) sth.与make an apology to sb. for(doing) sth.为固定搭配，表示“因(做了)某事而向某人道歉”。10C句意：我几乎想象不到他们两个人把敌人打败了。imagine后
28、应接动名词作宾语。.1.B主旨大意题。文章谈到人们进行闲聊时安全的和不被接受的话题。故选B。2C细节理解题。根据文章第六段最后一句在不太熟悉的人们之间不要谈论有关私人问题的话题。故选C。3A词义猜测题。从该词后面所给的例子：比如关于人权的法律方面的问题，可知其意为“有争议的问题”。故选A。4A推理判断题。这四句话虽然都有可能发生在车站。但根据small talk的定义，B、C、D项不属于开始交流所进行的small talk。在车站最有可能进行的small talk是谈论公交服务，所以A项正确。5D逻辑顺序题。第一段定义small talk，第二至四段讲闲谈时的保险话题，第五至七段讲一些闲谈时不
29、能提及的话题。故选D。【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。戴维因为失去了家人而非常伤心，拒绝与别人交流，“我”作为一名心理医生成功地使他恢复了正常。“我”采取的方法就是跟他下棋，让他感受到“我”理解他的痛苦。人与人的交流不只是通过语言，也可能是一个拥抱、一个哭泣时可以依靠的肩膀、一次友好的接触或者一只耐心倾听的耳朵。6C细节理解题。根据第一段中的He kept walking up and down restlessly，his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly.可知，第一次见面时，他表现得非常紧张。戴维失去了亲人，故不是“感到兴奋”或者“精力充沛地散步”
30、，排除A项和B项。根据His head teacher had referred him to me.以及he wrote可知，他的老师把他介绍给作者，但没有陪着他来，故D项错误。7A推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.可知，作者准备去做一名倾听者。文章虽提到有些问题心理学也无法给出答案，但这并不能说明作者对心理学持怀疑的态度，故B项错误；根据第二段中的and which no words can describe可排除C项；通过第二段中的How c
31、ould I help him？以及“有些问题心理学也无法给出答案”可知，作者并不确信自己能解决戴维的问题，故排除D项。8B推理判断题。根据第五段中的Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with.可知，他喜欢和作者下棋，或许是因为他需要一个人来分担他的痛苦，故B项正确。文章并未提到戴维想向作者征求建议，相反，他开始时拒绝跟作者交流，故排除A项；文中并未提及他喜欢这些画，只说他在看这些画，排除C项；由第三段中.I made sure David won once or twice.可知D项错误。9A推理判断题。由第五、六、七段可知，
32、与作者沉默地待了几个月之后，戴维开口跟作者说话了，之后，他的生活逐渐恢复了正常，故A项正确。他现在经常和朋友们骑车，但无法得知失去家人前就喜欢，故排除B项；上大学还只是他的一个计划，故排除C项；他是在认识作者之后交到了学校的朋友，故D项错误。10D推理判断题。结合故事内容以及最后一段可知，是作者和他无声的交流帮助戴维恢复了正常。他的老师只起到了介绍的作用，故排除A项；作者之前和戴维并不存在友谊，故排除B项；在戴维恢复正常之后，双方才开始通信，故排除C项。.1.Mary was seriously ill.
