BOn Thursday afternoon Mrs Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the Over 60s Club. She always we
25、nt there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone. At six oclock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette (香烟) smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? Had somebody got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual.
26、There was no sign of forced entry (进入). Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door-“a master key“ perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her
27、 usual time, dressed as usual, but she didnt go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait silently. It was just after four oclock when the front door bell rang. Mrs Clarke was making a cup of tea at the tim
28、e. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letterbox being pushed open. With the kettle (壶 ) of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire (金属丝) appeared through the letterbox, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob (把手) on the
29、door-lock. Mrs Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs Clarke heard the sound of running feet. 28. On the third Thursday Mrs. Clarke

32、t the bank or on an airplane, around by people who are, like us, deeply look at their smartphones or, worse, fighting with the uncomfortable silence.Whats the problem? Its more likely that none of us start a conversation because its challenging, or we think its unnecessary. But the next time you fin
33、d yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble .Experts say its an invaluable social practice that results in big advantages.Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University So
34、utheast .“Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk, “he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their
35、way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter, the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their waiter reported higher positive (积极的) feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “Its not that talking to the w
36、aiter is better than talking to your husband.“ says Dunn .“But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also. “Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a greater sense of belonging (归属感) with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of g
37、ood manners,“ he says.31. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. Interest in smartphonesB. Unsuitable behaviours in public placesC. Absence of communication between strangers.D.

Uncomfortable Silence D. Ways of Small TalkDAs is often the case, parents are very shocked to discover
39、their children have lied to them for the first time. But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their childrens honesty and this may impair their ability to discover a
40、 lie.The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with almost anything even in the face of the evidence (迹象). They say parents suffer from a “truth bias(偏见) “ with their own teenagers, but when faced with lies from other peoples children, they h
41、ave less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.Dr Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Canada, said, “The close relationship that parents share with their own children may lead to parents failing to detect their childrens lies. Parents truth bias may result in parents being
42、 less doutable of their children, allowing them to successfully cheat (欺骗) them.“6Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is considered as a key part of cognitive(认知的 ) and soci
43、al development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr Evans and her colleagues filmed 108 children aged between 8 and 16 as they performed a test after being asked not to look at the answers. They were then asked afterwards if they had l
44、ooked, with 50 truthfully denying (否认) looking, 49 lying about looking and 9 admitting to looking.Videos of those denying looking were then shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to
45、discover lies told by their own children than by other peoples children.34. What does the underlined word “impair“ in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Show. B. Harm C. Realize D. Develop. 35. When lying to their parents, children cant be easily found because _.A. their parents arent prepared for the liesB. their
46、 parents cant notice any of their liesC. they are very good at hiding their liesD. they know how to lie to their parents36. What does Dr Evans want to find about childrens lying?A. What makes parents lose trust in their children.B. What causes children to tell lies to their parents.C. What makes par
47、ents fail to see their childrens lies.D. What affects childrens relations with their parents.37. What can be inferred from Dr Evanss study in the last two paragraphs?A. Parents tend to protect their own children.B. Lying is a part of childrens development.C. Children aged 8 to 16 are very likely to
48、tell lies.D. Parents can easily judge lies told by children of others.第 II 卷(主观题 共 40 分)四、词汇运用 (本大题共 8 小题，每小题 1 分，共 8 分)(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。38.
