With our eyes focused on our smartphones, fewer of us make conversation with strangers. But are we missing something in this loss of relaxing small talk?A growing body of research suggests that small talk has surprising benefits. In a study published in 2014 in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that daily interactions with casual acquaintances(熟人) can contribute to daytoday wellbeing. Participants(参与者) were asked to record their daily interactions with people connected to them by “strong ties”(family and friends) and “weak ties”(acquaintances). On days when participants had more “weak tie” interactions than usual, they reported a greater sense of belonging and happiness.In a study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014, another group of researchers looked at interactions among strangers. They invited 118 commuters(通勤者) at a Chicagoarea railway station and gave them one of three roles: to start a conversation on the train, to avoid any conversation and enjoy the solitude(loneliness) or to do whatever they normally do on their commute. In surveys completed afterward, those who were instructed to make conversation with strangers reported “notably more positive” commutes than those who rode in solitude.“Talking with a stranger may not offer the same benefits as talking with a close friend, but we underestimate(低估) its importance to us，” says the studys coauthor, Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Dr. Epley traded in his own smartphone for an old featureless phone, which has made him, he says, more open to “wonderful, short conversations with strangers”People overestimate the social risks involved in small talk, adds Dr. Epley, “Most people not only want to talk to you; theyll tell you secret things they may not even tell a family member.”【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过一些重要研究结果说明了闲谈的益处。1The first study got the findings from the participants by comparing their _Astrong and weak tie interactionsBcasual and close acquaintancesCprivate and public interactionsDfamily members and friendsA解析：推理判断题。细读第二段可知，这项研究通过比较参与者的“强联系”交际和“弱联系”交际得出了结论。2What did the study done on the train find out?APeople are likely to ride in solitude on the train.BFew commuters like to chat with strangers.CThere are three kinds of train commuters.DChats with strangers bring joy to people.D解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的In surveys completed afterward. who rode in solitude.可知，这项研究发现，与陌生人的交谈会给人们带来愉快。3Which of the following would Dr. Epley probably agree with?AIt is nicer to talk with strangers than friends.BSmartphones may kill small talk with strangers.CPeople fail to realize the importance of friendship.DMost strangers prefer to spend time on their phones.B解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的Dr. Epley traded in his own smartphone for an old featureless phone, which has made him, he says, more open to “wonderful, short conversations with strangers”可推断，Epley博士应该会认为，智能手机可能会扼杀与陌生人的闲谈。4What does the text mainly discuss?AThe interactions with strangers.BThe loss of relaxing small talk.CThe influence of smartphones.DThe important role of small talk.D解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要论述了闲谈的益处。第二段首句A growing body of research suggests that small talk has surprising benefits.为文章的中心句。 完形填空Life is to be lived.No excuses.No holding back.A story about the violinist Fritz Kreisler tells how he once _1_ a beautiful instrument he wanted to get.When he _2_ raised the money for the violin, he returned to _3_ it and learned that it had already been sold to a(n) _4_He went to the new owners home in order to try to _5_ him to sell the violin. _6_， the collector said it was one of his valuable possessions and he could not let it go.Kreisler felt _7_ and turned to leave, but then asked a favor，“May I play the instrument once more _8_ it is put away？” _9_ was given and the great musician began to play.The _10_ sang out a quality of music which was so beautiful that the collector himself could only listen in _11_.“I have no _12_ to keep that to myself，”he said after the musician finished.“The violin is yours, Mr Kreisler.Take it into the world, and let people _13_ it.”For you and I are excellent violinsour _14_ is meant to be heard.I want to live my _15_ that wayto take it into the world and live it fully.Id rather be _16_ than die not having done whatever I could.Im not talking about _17_ ourselves by doing too much.Happiness is never found in overmuch(过多) busyness(忙碌)But it is found in applying our lives to helping others.Say yes when asked for a hand. _18_ to work for a charity organization.Spend an hour with a _19_ relative.In the end, I know that my happiness is not about what I can or cannot do.It is about how much I _20_ to others.My life is meant to be lived.【解题导语】一把小提琴的美妙乐音应该被世人听到，同样，我们的生活也要过得有意义。帮助他人，我们会感到无比幸福。1A.found outBgave upCtook over Dcame acrossD解析：根据下文可知，此处是说Fritz Kreisler偶然遇见了一把小提琴，想把它买下来。find out“查明”；give up“放弃”；take over“接管”；come across“偶然遇见”。2A.possibly BrecentlyCfinally DseriouslyC解析：根据上下文可知，Fritz Kreisler当时没有钱买那把小提琴，最后终于凑够了钱才回去买它。3A.show BpickCbuy DplayC解析：根据下文中的“it had already been sold”以及“try to _ him to sell the violin”可知，此处是说Fritz Kreisler去买那把小提琴。4A.collector BmusicianCperformer DinventorA解析：根据下文中的“.the collector said it was one of his valuable possessions”可知，此处应选collector。5A.expect BpersuadeChelp DforceB解析：上文说Fritz Kreisler十分想买那把小提琴，下文中又有收藏家坚持不卖小提琴的细节，由此可知，此处是说Fritz Kreisler试着说服收藏家把小提琴卖给他。6A.Besides BOtherwiseCHowever DThereforeC解析：Fritz Kreisler希望收藏家能把小提琴卖给他，而收藏家却说那把小提琴是他最宝贵的财富之一，前后句之间是转折关系，故选C项。7A.angry BdisappointedChelpless DbraveB解析：收藏家没有将小提琴卖给购琴心切的Fritz Kreisler，所以Fritz Kreisler应该会感到失落，所以应选disappointed。8A.so that BunlessCas if DbeforeD解析：根据上下文内容可知，Fritz Kreisler喜欢这把小提琴却又得不到它，所以请求在小提琴被收起来之前用这把小提琴演奏一次。9A.Permission BJudgment CAward DMoneyA解析：根据下文中的“the great musician began to play”可知，收藏家同意了他的请求，所以应选Permission。10A.owner BradioCviolin DsingerC解析：此处是说Fritz Kreisler用小提琴演奏出美妙的音乐。11A.pain BamazementCsecret DsorrowB解析：根据上文中的“so beautiful that”以及下文中收藏家将小提琴送给Fritz Kreisler等细节可知，收藏家被小提
