Small talk means the little things we talk about at the sta rt of a conversation. In Englishspeaking countries people often make small talk about the weather：“Nice day, isn't it？”“Terrible weather, isn't it？” But there is something special about small talk. It must be something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching：“Great game, isn't it？” At bus stops, people may comment aboutthe transport system：“The bus ser vice is terrible, isn't it？”Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.1．Which of the following is the common topic over small talk for native speakers of English?A．Politics. B．Families.C．Education. D．Weather.2．Why do we make small talk according to the passage?A．To let both people argue about something.B．To let both people agree on something.C．To enlarge our knowledge.D．To kill our time.3．The passage suggests that when we learn a language, ________．A．we should understand the importance of the languageB．it's necessary to learn about the culture of the countryC．we should learn about the transport system of the countryD．it's enough to grasp the grammar and vocabulary of the language4．It can be learned from the passage that ________．A．it's important to find a suitable small talk subjectB．small talk depends on the purpose of the conversationC．in Englishspeaking countries we should talk about the weatherD．agreeing with each other is the key to a successful conversationBA new study links heavy air pollution from coal burning to shorter lives in northern China.Researchers estimate that the halfbillion people alive there in the 1990s will live an average of 5 years less than their southern counterparts (两方面地位职务相当的人) because they breathed dirtier air.China itself made the comparison possible: for decades, a nowdiscontinued government policy provided free coal for heating, but only in the colder north. Researchers found significant differences in both particulate pollution of the air and life expectancy in the two regions.While previous studies have found that pollution affects human health, “the deeper and ultimately more important question is the effect on life expectancy，” said one of the researchers, Michael Greenstone, a professor of environmental economics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This study provides a unique setting to answer the life expectancy question because the heating policy dramatically (极大地) changes pollution concentrations (含量)，Greenstone said in an email. “Further, due to the low rates of migration (移民) in China in this period, we can know people's exposure over long time periods，” he said.The policy gave free coal for fuel boilers to heat homes and offices to cities north of the Huai River which divides China into north and south. It was in effect for much of the 1950－1980 period of central planning, and, though discontinued after 1980, it has left a legacy (遗留) in the north of heavy coal burning, which releases particulate pollutants into the air that can harm human health. Researchers found no other government policies that treated China's north differently from the south.The researchers collected data for 90 cities, from 1981 to 2000, on the annual daily average concentration of total suspended (悬浮的) particulates. In China, those are considered to be particulates that are 100 micrometers or less in diameter, sent out from sources including power stations, construction sites and vehicles. Among them, PM 2.5 is of especially great health concern because it can go deep into the lungs.The researchers estimated the impact on life expectancies using death data from 1991－2000. They found that in the north, the concentration of particulates was 184 micrograms per cubic meter — or 55 percent higher than in the south, and life expectancies were 5.5 years lower on average across all age ranges.5．The main idea of this passage is that ________．A．the government provided free coal for heating in North ChinaB．research in China finds air pollution shortened life expectancyC．coal burning causes bad air quality across ChinaD．a new study finds different particulates in SouthChina6．According to Greenstone，________ greatly contributed to the high pollution concentrations in North China.A．gases from vehicles B．construction sitesC．the free heating policy D．power stations7．It is implied in the passage that ________．A．coal is no longer used for heating in North ChinaB．air quality was comparatively better in South ChinaC．southerners burned coals for heating in the 1980sD．people preferred to live in South China after 19808．The underlined word “particulates” most probably means “________”．A．dirty clouds B．particular smokeC．dangerous gases D．harmful dustⅤ.任务型阅读SQ3R stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review.
