Much social talk,【36】from casual conversation to formal【37】speech has an aim other than to

convey information or to achieve agreement on disputed issues. Individuals talk and listen to one【38】, in part simply to enhance sociability--to【39】their enjoyment in being together. Sometimes this is called speech to entertain, but this traditional label has【40】been very satisfactory. Social talk serves a more important function【41】merely to pass time【42】.

A great deal of the【43】and the listening that occurs【44】casual circumstances may seem to be【45】, in the sense that the discourse is relaxed, relatively formless, and expressive of strong and intimate feelings.【46】, such speaking and listening are highly valued. Normal individuals dread being deprived【47】companionship. If required to be【48】for a time, they may mm on the【49】or television, not to learn something,【50】not even to be entertained,【51】to feel the sociability of hearing human speech. The【52】purpose of much speech (including most【53】and many public speeches) is to knit together【54】closely and more pleasantly the ties of【55】.

(56)

A.dividing

B.ranging

C.gathering

D.arranging

A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way
in which names are used. Americans have little concern for "rank", especially socially. (76) Most Americans do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank; it makes them feel uncomfortable. Many Americans even find the terms "Mr. ", "Mrs." or "Miss." too formal. People of all ages may prefer to be called by their first names. "Don't call me Mrs. Smith, just call me Sally." Using only first names usually indicates friendliness and acceptance. However, if you do not feel comfortable using only first names, it is quite acceptable to be more formal. Just smile and say that after a while you will use first names but you are accustomed to being more formal when you first meet someone.

Very often, introductions are made using both first and last names: "Mary Smith, this is John Jones." In this situation you are free to decide whether to call the lady "Mary" or "Miss Smith". Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using last names, and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead. You have a choice: if you don't want to use first names so quickly, no one will think it impolite if you continue according to your own custom.

In the first paragraph the author tells us that ______.

A.Americans do not talk about rank, especially socially

B.Americans feel uncomfortable when talking about rank

C.Americans take interests in social customs

D.Americans don't care much about social rank

Happy hours are not necessarily happy nor do they last for an hour, but they have bec
ome a part of the ritual (例行公事) of the office worker and businessman.

On weekdays in pubs and bars throughout America, there is the late afternoon happy hour.The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven.After the workday is finished, office workers in larger cities and small towns take a relaxing pause and head off for the nearest bar or pub to be with friends, co-workers and colleagues.Within minutes the pub is filled to capacity with businessmen and secretaries, payroll clerks and stock executives.They gather around the bar and gossip about the intrigues (勾心斗角) of office life or matters more personal.This is their oasis (避风港); the place to free themselves from the day's stress at the office.

At these happy hours, social binding occurs between people who share the same workplace or similar professions.They may gossip about each other or talk about a planned project that has yet to meet a deadline.In this sense, these places become extensions of the workplace and may make up a good portion of one's social life.

These happy hours are those late afternoon chances to relax after work and before returning home.Conversations which may begin quietly and with reserve, rise gradually from a chatter to a roar.The oasis quickly fills up with smoke.Loud laughter may cackle in the air as a way to relieve the tensions of the day.The cheerful mood, heightened by the feeling of relief, competes with a TV broadcasting the latest update of CNN evening news or a sports game already in progress.

Industrial robots are already working in many factories around the world and in our homes,
for instance as smart vacuum cleaners. Scientists say in a few years we will start seeing so-called “social rebots,” capable of engaging with people.

Today’s robots can build cars and explore underwater objects. But interacting with people is more complex than simply taking an incoming message, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal.

“Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like you’e interacting with someone rather than something,” she said .’’And social robots are really designed to engage you in much more of an interaction that feels like a cooperation or partnership.”

At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which features robots should have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted to social situations.

“You know if you’re going to have robots out in the wild,so to speak, they have to follow our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect, so that we can move about out environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact that they’re around us,” he said.

Social robots do not necessarily have to have a human face. Steve Cousins, the CEO of Savioke Robotics in Cupertino, California, says their robot called Botlr is already being tested in a hotel, delivering small items to people.

“It’s designed to be in human space and interact with people and around people,” he said. "So it interacts with the front desk agent when they’re sending it somewhere. It interacts with people in the elevator as it’s going along. And,it interacts with people at the door when the delivery arrives.”

So far, social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying message or taking family photos. But Cynthia Breazeal, who designed this one, says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.

What will social robots do according to the scientists?

A.They will cooperate with people.

B.They will clean the big house

C.They will explore underwater objects.

D.They will build different kinds of cars.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Social robots are more difficult to design.

B.Industrial robots are more complicated to design.

C.Social robots can be more useful than industrial robots.

D.Industrial robots can do less than social robots.

It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A.social robots only serve the people they like

B.it’s better for social robots to work in a hotel

C.it’s better for social robots to have a human face

D.social robots will be under the control of human beings

What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The funcitionof social robots.

B.The use of industrialrobots.

C.The daily lifeof robots.

D.The way of designing robots.

Which of the following best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?A.Critical

B.Prejudiced

C.Subjective

D.Objective

第10题
Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to
live in. Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America. Often the nearest neighbours are several hundred kilometers away.

The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then give an answer. For example, people on the large farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person.

As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were started for them in some places. At a certain time each day, boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities far away.

Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbours. The programme "Round Robin Talks" by radio was started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk about who was going away and who was ill. The men could talk about their sheep and cows and how much money the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.

In the passage "the two-way radio" is ______.

A.important to Americans

B.useful for children only

C.used as a telephone

D.only used by doctors
