Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1Have you ever caught yourself saying, nI hate small talk!n the minute you walk into a party? If so, you might be anintrovert (内 向的人). Introverts hate to chat about "smair1 subjects with people. They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when there's a group around.If you're talking to an introvert, you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways. Either they'll seem to get bored and not say much or they'll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics. What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude. If s just that they don!t like small talk. Here*s why.Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation. Some introverts don't realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You don't need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response. But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud. Before they answer, they'll mull over different thoughts.Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in. The more people who join the conversation, the more the introvert will tend to step back. As a result, they911 be quiet. Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth. The purpose is about listening "lightly" so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on. Introverts tend to be great listeners, but they use active listening rather than light listening.This makes them wonderful friends, but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why they're so quiet.1 > How do introverts respond to a chat?A. They try to avoid it.B , They get excited about it.C. They give it their full attention.D. They focus on unimportant topics.2、What do we know about small talk?A. It goes slowly.B , It costs people a lot of time.C. It contributes to deeper topics.D. It makes no sense.3、What does the underlined phrase nmull overn in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Give up.B. Think over.C. Write down.D. Forget about.4、How can we become a good talker in small conversations?A. Figure out the deep meaning of questions.B. Think twice before answering questions.C. Try to find shared topics.D. Be a quiet listener.Text 2In Asia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure （结构），they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held, in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents5（对手）kites or cut their strings （线）.For more than 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii. In its kite-making lessons, students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes! Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite. Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980. Their kites are made of nylon （尼龙）.Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne. The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern. The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite. Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in. Then the controls are given to the students.Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites. Even the simplest structure can work, and can give hours of fun. Go on, give it a try!1、Which of the following is true according to the text?A. A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.B.
