It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward 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 an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.‎ Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation. 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 key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”‎ In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter；the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly 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 matter for our wellbeing also.”‎ Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond 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】　本文是议论文。研究表明，闲聊在人际交往中起着重要作用。‎ ‎4．What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?‎ A．Addiction to smartphones.‎ B．Inappropriate behaviours in public places.‎ C．Absence of communication between strangers.‎ D．Impatience with slow service.‎ ‎5．What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?‎ A．Showing good manners.‎ B．Relating to other people.‎ C．Focusing on a topic.‎ - 9 -‎ D．Making business deals.‎ ‎6．What does the coffeeshop study suggest about small talk?‎ A．It improves family relationships.‎ B．It raises people's confidence.‎ C．It matters as much as a formal talk.‎ D．It makes people feel good.‎ ‎7．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．Conversation Counts B．Ways of Making Small Talk C．Benefits of Small Talk D．Uncomfortable Silence C ‎[2020·湖北省高考模拟]Mosquitoes are the world's deadliest animals, transmitting diseases that kill hundreds of thousands of people annually. Only the females bite, to acquire protein to make their eggs. But blood can also serve as a refreshing drink on a hot, dry day.‎ ‎ A new study finds that dehydrated(脱水的) mosquitoes are more aggressive, land more often on hosts and feed more frequently than those with ready access to water. “This may also increase the spread of disease，” says Joshua Benoit, a biologist at the University of Cincinnati and senior author of the study, published in May in Scientific Reports.‎ ‎ Because some mosquitoes lay their eggs on water, researchers have long thought that wetter conditions lead to more mosquitoborne illnesses. Yet recent studies have suggested at the opposite, linking increased transmission of diseases to droughts. Benoit and his colleagues' discovery helps to resolve these contrary into common sense.‎ ‎ “It's not just as simple as saying. If it's wet, there will be more mosquitoes and more disease transmission，” Benoit says.‎ ‎ His laboratory became interested in the effect of dehydration on mosquitoes' feeding behavior by accident: a worker dropped a container of thirsty mosquitoes and noticed that they divebombed him with much greater energy than usual.‎ ‎ The researchers studied three mosquito species that transmit yellow fever. They exposed these mosquitoes to different temperatures and humidity(温度) levels in cages with or without access to water and nectar(mosquitoes' preferred sugar - 9 -‎ ‎ source). They then tested how often the pests chose to bite a “host”： a warm, soft plastic membrane(塑料薄膜) filled with chicken blood.‎ Within a few hours up to 30 percent of mosquitoes without water fed on their host's blood — compared with 5 to 10 percent of those that had water. “Even short periods of dehydration can have lasting effects，” Benoit says.‎ ‎“These ‘very interesting’ findings have realworld applications for predicting rates of disease transmission，” says Chloe Lahondere, an entomologist at Virginia Tech, who was not involved in the study. “To develop new tools to efficiently fight these insects, it is essential to have a better understanding of their biology.”‎ ‎8．What did researchers use to believe about mosquitoes?‎ A．They are always aggressive.‎ B．They bite more in wetter conditions.‎ C．They bite to acquire protein.‎ D．They lay their eggs in people's blood.‎ ‎9．What drove Benoit's team to conduct the research?‎ A．The wish to prevent diseases from transmitting.‎ B．The new understanding of mosquitoes' biology.‎ C．The desire to eliminate the world's deadliest animals.‎ D．The interesting findings accidentally made previously.‎ ‎10．How did researchers draw their final conclusion?‎ A．By observing the thirsty mosquitoes' feeding behaviors to a worker.‎ B．By comparing the numbers of mosquitoes that bite in different groups.‎ C．By exposing mosquitoes to different temperatures and humidity levels.‎ D．By creating an artificial “host” that is just like a part of a human body.‎ ‎11．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A．Thirsty Mosquitoes Challenge Common Sense B．New Tools Needed to Understand Biology C．Wet or Dry — Does It Really Matter?‎ D．Interesting Findings — Essential or Not?‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 ‎[2020·合肥市高三调研性检测]An acquaintance has something in common with you and merely enjoys your company for a short time. A fairweather friend - 9 -‎ ‎ flatters(讨好) you when the sun is shining and the birds are singing. __1__ They would never do the following things.‎ Walk away when times get tough. True friendship is all about how a person helps another person when they are down and can give very little in return. Thus, take note of who remains in your life when times get tough. Seriously, when you get into a difficult period in your life, look around you. __2__‎ Hold hatred(憎恨) over your head.

You may think about the people who have had the greatest positive effect on your life—the ones who truly made a difference. __4__ True friends are the ones who sit silently with you when you need a moment to think. They'd always lend you a shoulder when you need to cry.‎ ‎ __5__ You deserve to be with friends who make you smile—friends who don't take you for granted.
