Millions of t ourists visit the clock tower each year. Every hour on the hour, the famous bells ring. But starting in xx, it will be under major repairs, and for some of that time, its bells won’t ring. Work like this hasn’t been done on it in more than 30 years.“In o rder to keep the clock ticking(发出滴答声), we must take time to examine and repair it,” says Steve Jaggs, who oversees Big Ben. “This project will enable us to give one of Britain’s most famous landmarks the care it badly needs.”Big Ben actually is the name of the main bell inside the clock. But the entire clock tower has e to be known by that name. People have been setting their watches to Big Ben since the bell was built in 1859. It was an addition to the Palace of Westminster, which was rebuilt after a big fire in 1834. The last major repair of the tower took place from 1983 to 1985.Big Ben is again showing its age. Many of the parts in the clock need repairs. The tower itself has problems, too. The repairs will also include updating(更新) the tower so that it meets current(当前的) fire-safety requirement and installing(安装) an elevator. In total, the project will cost about $42 million.The project will take about three years, during which there will be no tours of the tower. The clock will be stopped while its hands and other parts are being fixed, and it’ll be silent for three months during the repair.“Big Ben is a symbol of the UK,” says Tom Brake, an office worker. “We have a responsibility to make sure that it’s in a good condition for fut ure generations (几代人) to enjoy, just as our ancestors(祖先) protect their masterpiece well for us to enjoy.”28.

It helps to fill time between people when it is very quiet. You may not feel like talking with someone else or you are very shy at the beginning, but it is sometimes thoughtto be not polite 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, waiters and hairdressers often make small talk with their customers(顾客). If you happen to be outside when the postman es 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 wh en they are waiting in a line to buy something. At the office, people make small talk in lunch rooms, especially if there is a line-up. Mingling is often required(要求) among people who don’t know each other very well at a party. That is to say, they are exp ected to walk around and talk with others.The most mon 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 neighbor in the waiting room of the airport 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.32. When does small talk most probably happen?A. When reading on a bus.B. When having a meeting.C. When meeting a postman who es to your door.D. When having a family meal.33. The underlined word “Mingling” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.A. HonestyB. PolitenessC. UnderstandingD. Conversation34. The third paragraph mainly talks about _________.A. how to make small talkB. where small talk happensC. when to make small talkD. why people make small talk35. The last paragraph is organized mainly by ________.A. telling storiesB. giving explanationsC. providing examplesD. discussing questions第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
