2024屆高考英語一輪復習 Module1 Small Talk考點規范練31（含解析）外研版選修6.閱讀理解
Although Americans are well known for getting down to business,Indians working in overseas teams,MNCs,and BPOs should know the importance of small talk.While Indians have a true interest in talking to Americans and getting to know them,they also hesitate to do so for some reasons.Americans engage in less personal small talk than Indians.And the topics and questions used in English vary widely based on language differences and cultural differences.Here are three things to keep in mind while you are trying to make small talk with your American clients and colleagues.
Americans love to ask about,and then complain about the weather!They may talk about how the weather prevented them from having fun or how the weather supported their outdoor events.You can talk about the weather with them to begin a conversation.While talking,always try to follow up their answer by asking another open-ended question or make a statement,such as“Wow,that sounds like fun!”or “You went to St.Louis.In which state is that?”Be creative in your questions.Feel free to ask one or two,but not very personal ones about relations.Stick to the facts or events that were already referred to.
Sometimes,some words used in India will totally confuse an American.For example,Americans use the word“weekend”instead of“holiday”for Saturdays and Sundays (non-working days),and use the word “vacation”or “days off”instead of “out-of-station”.
Always be interested,optimistic and happy.Talk with a smile!Vary the sound of your voice.Do not sound like a computer.If you are unsure how you sound,a good tip is to record yourself and listen to it later.Doing this helps you know how your voice sounds,and if you don’t sound as you want to be heard,it may be time to work on enhancing your voice.

Ⅱ.完形填空
Generally speaking,a British is widely regarded as a quiet,shy and conservative(保守的)person who is 1 only among those with whom he is familiar.When a stranger is present,he often seems nervous, 2 embarrassed.You can take a commuter train(通勤車)any morning or evening to 3 the truth of this.Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or 4 off in a corner;hardly anybody talks,since to do so would be considered quite offensive(冒犯的).?
5 ,there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior,which,once 6 ,makes the offender immediately the object of 7 .?
One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n) 8 to the discussion of their weather and that,if given a chance,he will talk about it 9 .Some people argue that it is because the British weather 10 follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone.This may be so.Certainly a British cannot have much 11 in the weathermen,whose predictions,in many cases, 12 to be wrong!The man in the street seems to be as accurate—or as inaccurate—as the weathermen in his 13 .?
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references 14 weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day.Very often conversational greetings are 15 by comments on the weather.“Nice day,isn’t it?”“Beautiful day!”may well be heard instead of “Good morning.How are you?” 16 the foreigner may consider this exaggerated(夸大的)and comic,it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his 17 .If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is 18 to know where to begin,he could do well to mention the state of the weather.It is a(n) 19 subject to which a response may well be 20 of even the most reserved of the British.?
1.A.relaxed B.frustrated
C.amused D.exhausted
2.A.yet B.otherwise
C.even D.so
3.A.experience B.witness
C.watch D.undertake
4.A.whispering B.murmuring
C.nodding D.laughing
5.A.Hopefully B.Exactly
C.Frequently D.Obviously
6.A.developed B.observed
C.followed D.broken
7.A.doubt B.argument
C.criticism D.praise
8.A.emotion B.fancy
C.likeliness D.judgment
9.A.at length B.at last
C.at most D.at least
10.A.always B.often
C.constantly D.seldom
11.A.faith B.relief

Ⅲ.語法填空
Mary will never forget the first time she saw him.He suddenly appeared in class one day,1.(wear) sunglasses.He walked in as if he 2.(buy) the school.And the word quickly got around that he was from New York City.
For some reason he sat beside Mary.Mary felt 3.(please),because there were many empty seats in the room.But she quickly realized that it wasn’t her,it was probably the fact that she sat in 4.last row.
5.he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back,he was wrong.It might have made it a little 6.(hard) for everybody because it meant they had to turn around,but that didn’t stop the kids in the class.Of course whenever they turned to look at him,they had to look at Mary,7.made her feel like a star.
“Do you need those glasses for medical 8.(reasonable)?”the teacher asked.The new boy shook his head.“Then I’d appreciate 9.if you didn’t wear them in class.I like to look at your eyes when I’m speaking to you.”The new boy looked at the teacher for a few seconds and all the other students wondered what the boy would do.Then he took 10.off and gave a big smile and said“That is cool.”
Ⅳ.短文改錯
Music and songs play a important part in our daily life.For example,it can bring us pleasure and make us happy.However,they can help us improve our study and working efficiency.I was fond of listening to songs and music very much,but my favorite song is Country Road.The lyrics and music bring me into a beautiful world in that I am loved and cared by Grandma.What’s more,they make me think of my wonderful childhood was spent in my hometown and I can still remember the game played with my young fellow.In a word,once enjoying,the song will never be forgotten.

Ⅰ.【語篇導讀】作者告訴印度人跟美國的同事或客戶閑聊時應該注意些什么。
1.D 細節理解題。根據第一段“Americans engage in less personal small talk than Indians.”可知,美國人更喜歡談私人話題之外的其他話題。
2.D 主旨大意題。根據第二段的內容可知主要講如何開始和繼續跟美國人的閑聊。
3.C 詞義猜測題。根據“if you don’t sound as you want to be heard”可知需要“改進”說話的聲音。
4.D 作者意圖題。根據文章內容可知作者主要告訴印度人應該如何跟美國的同事或客戶閑聊,故選D項。
.【語篇導讀】英國人安靜、羞澀、保守,陌生人之間很少交談。他們喜歡談論天氣,由此天氣也就成為與英國人搭訕的常用話題。
1.A 根據第一段第二句中的“When a stranger is present,he often seems nervous”可知,英國人只在其熟悉的人面前感到放松。
2.C 在生人面前,英國人會顯得緊張,甚至感到尷尬。此處表示遞進關系,因此選擇C項。
3.B 根據下文可知,在任意一個早上或者晚上乘通勤車的時候,你就能發現這一事實。experience“體驗”;witness“目擊,證明”;watch“觀察”;undertake“承擔”。根據語境,應選B項。
4.C 根據下文中的“hardly anybody talks”可知,表情嚴肅的商人和女士坐在那里看報紙或者在角落里打盹兒。nod off“打瞌睡,打盹”,符合語境。
5.D 顯然(obviously),在英國有個不成文但人盡皆知的行為準則。
6.D 此處指一旦有人打破這一準則,這個人就會立刻成為被批評的對象。break“打破”,符合語境。
7.C 參見上題解析。criticism“批評”,符合語境。
8.B 根據下文可知,英國人喜歡談論天氣。take a fancy to sth./sb.“喜歡某事或某人”,為固定用法。
9.A 英國人一有機會就會暢談天氣。at length“長時間地”,符合語境。
10.D 根據11空后的“the weathermen,whose predictions,in many cases, 12 to be wrong”可知,英國的天氣預報很少是準確的。?
11.A 因為天氣預報很少準確,英國人當然不能非常相信氣象預報員。faith“信心,信任”;relief“寬慰”;honor“榮譽”;credit“信任”。have faith in sb.“信任某人”,故選A項。
12.C 氣象預報員的預報很多情況下被證實是錯的。put out“熄滅”;make out“辨認出”;turn out“最后,結果是,最終成為”;find out“查明”。故C項符合語境。
13.B 在天氣預測方面,街上的人似乎和氣象預報員一樣的準確或不準確。consideration“考慮,體諒”;prediction“預測”;approval“贊成”;appreciation“欣賞,感激”。故B項符合語境。
14.D make references to表示“談及,提及”,為固定搭配。故選D項。
15.C 根據下文可知,此處表示寒暄經常會被談論天氣取代(replaced)。注意“instead of”的提示。
16.B 盡管外國人可能會認為這有些夸張和滑稽,但值得指出的是,了解這些對他是有好處的。根據語境可知,應用連詞although引導讓步狀語從句。
17.B be to one’s advantage表示“對……有利”,為固定搭配。
18.A 外國人想要和英國人攀談,但又不知道怎樣開頭,那就不妨先提提天氣。at a loss“茫然,困惑”,符合語境。
19.D 談論天氣是一個安全的(safe)話題。
20.A expect sth.of sb.“指望某人某物”,為固定用法。
.1.wearing 2.had bought 3.pleased 4.the 5.If 6.harder
7.which 8.reasons 9.it 10.them
.
Music and songs play a
important part in our daily life.For example,it
can bring us pleasure and make us happy.However,they can help us improve our study and working efficiency.I was
fond of listening to songs and music very much,but
my favorite song is Country Road.The lyrics and music bring me into a beautiful world in that
