【解析】
试题分析:文章告诉我们应该保持我们所居住的城市的整洁,因为整洁的城市才可以让我们的生活更美好。
【1】and改为or 考查固定搭配。短语“whether....or.....”不管....还是....;句意:城市,不管大小,都应该是很干净的。
【2】we 前加can/will 考查部分倒装句。当only放在句首,且强调状语的时候,要使用部分倒装句式,本句中only放在句首,强调时间状语从句when we live in a clean city,所以要在we前面加can/will构成部分倒装句。
【3】that改为where 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是a clean city,后面定语从句的结构很完整,所以使用关系副词where引导定语从句,并在句中做地点状语。
【4】are改为is 考查主谓一致。本句的主语是a clean city,这是一个单数名词做主语,谓语动词要使用单数形式is。
【5】lived改为living 考查分词用法。本句中动词live与people构成主动关系,所以使用现在分词短语living in a dirty city做定语修饰people。
【6】happy改为happily 考查副词。在英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词;形容词通常做定语或表语修饰名词;所以本句中使用副词happily做状语修饰动词live。
【7】for改为with 考查with复合结构。介词with的复合结构为“with+宾语+宾语补足语”,句意:随着越来越多的人搬进城市,要想保持城市干净并不容易。
【8】Beside改为Besides 考查副词。副词besides而且,介词“beside在...旁边”。句意:随着越来越多的人搬进城市,要想保持城市干净并不容易。而且很多工厂还把废料排进河里,空气中和土里。上下文之间是递进关系,所以使用besides。
【9】去掉is 考查宾语补足语。本句中it是形式宾语,形容词hard是宾语补足语,系动词is是多余的。句意:.....让保持城市干净很困难。
【10】live后加in 考查动词用法。本句中不定式短语“to live in”作为后置短语修饰place,因为live是不及物动词,要在后面接介词in,和place构成动宾关系。
【题目】Put a group of strangers in a room together, and they’ll probably start a conversation. “Hot today, isn’t it?” one might say. “You said it,” another replies.
Why do we talk so much about the weather? When we meet new people, we don’t begin by telling them our life story. We start with small talk, a polite conversation about something like traffic or weather.
Research suggests that small talk can build new friendships. When we begin conversations with new people, we want to feel comfortable, and so do they. We use small talk to find common interests. Once we have a common interest, a friendship can begin.
Small talk even helps people get a job. In order to impress at a job interview, you need to bond with the interviewer right away. Proper small talk can make that first impression get you the job.
So, how can you make small talk lead to a new friendship or job? First off, find common ground. Select something around you that you share with the other person.
Next, keep the conversation going. Compliment (赞美) the other person to make him or her feel comfortable, and ask questions to show interest.
Third, keep eye contact. When you loop people in the eye, they feel you appreciate what they are saying. It makes you appear honest and build trust.
Naturally, shy people might not have enough confidence to start up conversations with strangers. Talking to someone you don’t know is not the easiest thing to do! Some experts say with more practice, small take does get easier.
Some people avoid small talk because they dislike discussing things like traffic or weather. For them, they are just too small. However, when you think about it, small talk is anything but small. In fact, it is actually a very big deal!
