第三部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题
卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Small talk is meaningless conversation in terms of content，but is often seen as socially
important in certain situations，or context．In many English-speaking countries，it can be viewed as
rude or unfriendly not to make small talk.
Discussing the weather with people who you don’t really know is an example of small talk that
many of us are very familiar with on a daily basis．We may chat about the weather with the cashier at
the supermarket or with the attendant at the gas station．Small talk may also be related to the
situation such as waiting in line．People in the line may comment to others about how slow it is in
the post office or bank that day，for instance．We also engage in small talk with people we may see
every day but don’t really know such as those we share the elevator with in our office building．
56．What do people usually talk about in small talk?
A．Light topics． B．Personal topics．
C. Meaningless things. D．Controversial affairs．
57．Who do we usually have small talk with?
A．Close friends．
C．Family members．


B．People we don’t really know．
D．Our seniors．
58．At parties，it’s considered rude to ．
A．speak to one guest only and not speak with other guests
B．speak to several guests at the same time
C．compliment a woman on her dress
D．have small talk with the host
- 3 -

59．We can infer from the last paragraph that ．
A．compliments are the most acceptable in small talk
B．we should refer to a person’s body when complimenting in order to sound sincere
C．there are some rules in making small talk
D．some people use small talk to make new friends

B
Going Zero Waste means more than just managing the rubbish we create．It means reducing it
too．While it might seem like a difficult thing to do, it's well worth it．And what better time to start
than Christmas?
We need to copy the way Nature wastes nothing．Many things are created by human society that
we know will soon become useless and be thrown out．How many plastic bottles or even PCs end up
in the rubbish bin? Instead，we should design products that can be more easily repaired，reused and
recycled．
Kamikatsu, a Japanese village，has already gone Zero Waste．The 2，000 villagers compost their
leftovers，and recycle everything else．There are 34 different boxes at the re-cycling centre!
Residents grumble about the inconvenience，but they also see the benefits．
People who live Zero Waste lives are careful about what they do．They never take more than
they need．Reusing plastic bags at supermarkets is a great way to reduce waste．And those who plan
before they shop avoid having to throw food out later．Also，it’s best not to go food shopping when
you’re hungry：You’ll be sure to buy too much!
Let’s think about how to enjoy a Zero Waste Christmas．By sending recyclable cards，we can
help our friends and family reduce waste．And what better way to enjoy the spirit of Christmas than
with a real tree that can be replanted in the spring?
Going Zero Waste requires us to think more about what happens before and after we act．It
takes ambition，and it's not always easy．But just think how good it would be，both for ourselves and
for the environment, if we never had to waste anything．
60．When is this passage probably written?
A．After a Christmas． B．Before Zero Waste starts．
C．Before a Christmas． D．When Zero Waste is very popular．
61．What should we do to reduce waste according to the passage?
A．To stop using plastic bottles or even PCs．
B．To create more things that can be repaired quickly．
C．To avoid sending cards on Christmas．
D．To copy the way Nature wastes nothing．
62．If we want to live Zero Waste lives we should do the following except .
A．taking no more than we need
B．reusing plastic bags
C．not going food shopping when we’re hungry
D．not making a plan before we shop
63．What’s the main purpose of this passage?
A．To enjoy a clean Christmas．
B．To complain about the pollution．
C．To educate people to behave well．
- 4 -

D．To call on people to attend Zero Waste．

C
Truman had been a surprise choice for vice-president at the Democratic Party nominating convention
in nineteen forty-four. Delegates considered several other candidates before they chose him as
Roosevelt’s running mate. That was at a time when presidential candidates did not make their own
choices for vice-president．
Harry Truman lacked the fame，the rich family and the strong speech-making skills of Franklin
Roosevelt．He was a much simpler man．He grew up in the Midwestern state of Missouri．Truman
only studied through high school but took some nighttime law school classes．He worked for many
years as a farmer and a small businessman，but without much success．
Truman had long been interested in politics．When he was almost forty，he finally won several
low-level positions in his home state．By nineteen thirty-four，he was popular enough in Missouri to
be nominated and elected to the United States Senate. And he won re- election six years later．
Most Americans, however, knew little about Harry Truman when he became president．They
knew he had close ties to the Democratic Party political machine in his home state．But they had also
heard that he was a very honest man．They could see that Truman had strongly supported President
Roosevelt’s New Deal programs．But they could not be sure what kind of president Truman would
become．
At the center of all the action was Harry Truman．It was not long before he showed Americans
and the world that he had the ability to be a good president．He was honest，strong and willing to
make decisions．
64．When Mrs. Roosevelt said”You are the one in trouble now”，she really meant
that ．
A．Truman’s life had suddenly changed
B．Truman was at the center of all the action
C．Truman was a surprise choice for vice-president
D．Truman had close ties to the Democratic Party
65．According to the passage，of Truman’s day，the president’s running mate was ．
A．decided by delegates
B．recommended by presidential candidates
C．chosen by the Democratic Party
