B. True or false: (判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示): ( 6 分)
In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. A small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talks about the weather: “Nice day, isn’t it?” But there is something special about small talks. It must be about something both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of a small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safer topic for a small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talks in English. The topics for a small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make a small talk about the game they are watching: “Great game, isn’t it?” At bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system: “The bus service is terrible , isn’t it?”
Greetings and small talks are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
78. People often make a small talk to start a conversation
79. Weather, religion and politics are all suitable topics for small talks in English.
80. People often have different opinions in a small talk.
81. People may talk about different things in different situations.
82. Topics for small talks vary from language to language.
83. Learning the customs of a foreign culture is also important besides the vocabulary and grammar.

Erica couldn’t understand    91     her father wouldn’t let her go fishing.

E. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给): (14分)
Do you know something about rings (年轮) ? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?
A tree will grow well in a climate with lots of sunshine and rainfall. And little sunshine or rainfall will limit the growth of a tree. We can see the c   97     of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the w   98     of ten years ago, we can count the rings of a tree from the o   99     to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we’re sure that it was sunny and rainy m   100     of that year. If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad.
Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of m   101    . Many centuries ago there l   102     a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand there—no trees and no people. What happened?
A scientist studied the rings of dead trees there. He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to m   103     fires and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.  

F. Answer the following questions: (根据短文内容，回答下列问题): (12分)
Soon it would be the holidays, but before that, there were final exams. All the kids had been working hard for some time, reviewing their lessons. If they don’t pass the exams, they will take them in September. There were usually a few who failed, but Jane didn’t want to be one of them. She had worked hard all year, but she was working so hard that her mother worried about her. She went to bed too late. The night before the big day, her mother insisted that she should have an early night and take a sleeping pill. She promised to wake her up in the morning.
Jane was too nervous to fall asleep. Her mind kept jumping from subject to subject. At last, the pill did work. In no time at all, she was sitting in the examination hall, looking at the paper, but she couldn’t answer any of the questions. Everyone around her was writing pages and pages. Though she thought hard, she couldn’t find anything to write about. From time to time she looked at her watch.
Time was running out. There was only an hour to go. She started one question, wrote two sentences, gave up and tried another. With only half an hour left she wrote another two sentences. By this time she was so worried that she started crying. Her whole body shook. It shook so much that she woke up. She was still in bed and it had all been a terrible dream. A minute later, her mother called her name.
