Question

2．In our daily life，it is necessary to make small talk in certain situations．It helps to fill time between people when it is completely quiet．You may not feel like talking with someone else or you are very shy at the beginning，but it is sometimes thought to be rude to say nothing．
People use small talk almost every day．It usually takes place when you meet someone you don't know at all or someone you're not familiar with．For example，waitresses and hairdressers often make small talk with their customers．If you happen to be outside when the mailman comes to your door，you might make small talk with him，too．
Most often，small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something．For example，you might talk with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive．People also make small talk in a doctor's waiting room，or when they are waiting in a line to buy something．At the office，people make small talk in elevators or lunchrooms，especially if there is a line-up．Mingling（交際） is often required among people who don't know each other very well at a party．In other words，they are expected to walk around and talk with othe rs．
The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone on a given day．For example，if you see a co-worker in the lounge （休息室） you might say hello and discuss the sports or weather．However，the next time you see each other you might just smile and say nothing．If there is very little noise，it might be the right time to start a pleasant conversation．If someone is reading a book at the bus stop，it is probably not a good idea to start a conversation．Another good time to make small talk is during a break in a meeting when there is nothing important going on．However，it is important to recognize the signal when the other person wants the conversation to stop．

Answer 1

分析 文章圍繞"小的交談在生活中會(huì)隨時(shí)發(fā)生"做了一系列闡述．在我們的日常生活中，有必要在某些場合做些小的交談，當(dāng)人們完全安靜的時(shí)候，有助于填補(bǔ)人們之間的時(shí)間，你可能不想和別人說話或者一開始就很害羞，但有時(shí)被認(rèn)為是不禮貌的．

解答 1．B  考察細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文意People use small talk almost every day及Another good time to make small talk is during a break in a meeting when there is nothing important going on可知人們之間的交談會(huì)隨時(shí)發(fā)生，在會(huì)議休息的時(shí)候可以交談一下，言外之意在會(huì)議期間不能夠交談，ACD三個(gè)選項(xiàng)是可以進(jìn)行小交談的場合，而題干問的是不能進(jìn)行小交談的場合，所以答案是B．
2．A  考察細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文意Another good time to make small talk is during a break in a meeting when there is nothing important going on可知在會(huì)議休息的時(shí)候可以交談一下，所以答案是A．
3．D  考察細(xì)節(jié)理解題．最后一段作者主要通過舉例子來進(jìn)行論證的，所以答案是D．
4．B  考察細(xì)節(jié)理解題It helps to fill time between people when it is completely quiet可知交談可以幫助人們打破寂靜，所以答案是B．
