答案解析

D2

1. C. 根据The purpose of talking about the setting is to show the other person that you are willing to make conversation可知谈论环境是一个很好的开始谈话的契机，它让对方明确领会你的意图。

2. D. 根据you and your conversation partner need to find common ground可知谈话时双方都要尽力寻求共同话题，这样谈话才能继续下去。根据At every stage, you should be careful not to talk too much. But don’t let the other person dominate (支配) the conversation either.可知谈话双方的地位应当是平衡的，任何一方也不要过于霸占话语权。如果发生这种情况的话，作者建议可以采取一些巧妙的应对手段，例如，If that starts to happen, mention something about yourself when he or she takes a breath.

3. B. 根据Don’t worry if it gets quiet. The other person is probably just thinking of something to say.可知第3条提示里有如何应对沉默的尴尬场面的建议。

4. B. 根据express gratitude (感激) for the conversation可知谈话结束时应礼貌地表达感谢之情。

5. B. 根据第三段The following is a five-step guide to making small talk from Bernardo J. Carducci, the director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast, US. Have a look. 以及上下文可知作者主要针对如何进行交谈给了几个提示。

D3

1. B. 原文提到Climate change, then, could have a lasting effect on plant pigments并进一步解释了气候变暖是如何延长树叶的生长期从而使其来不及变色就凋落的。

2. A. 根据文章内容可知，首先是春夏季节叶绿素占主导，所以是绿色，之后秋天到来后由于日照减少，叶绿素减少使得原本存在的类胡萝卜素显现出来，椰子变黄，之后白天晴朗夜间凉爽的天气促进了花青素的分泌使得叶子变红。

3. B. 根据文章上下文可知，叶绿素原本数量比类胡萝卜素多，遮盖了后者的效果，到了秋天叶绿素减少了，类胡萝卜素的效果才显现出来，是叶子变成黄色。所以这里mask是“遮掩，遮盖”的意思。

4. C. 倒数第二段主要介绍了气候变暖对于叶子变色的影响。可知如果气候变暖继续恶化，可能叶子没等变黄就全凋谢了。

D4

1. D. 根据But with your acceptance of this present come some rules and regulations. Please read through the following list of rules可知Gregory的父母送了他一部苹果手机，并且和他就如何使用做出了一系列的约定。

2. B. 根据If it falls into the toilet, smashes (摔碎) on the ground or vanishes (消失) into thin air, you are responsible for the replacement or repair costs.可知如果手机发生丢失或者损毁，Gregory需要自己打工挣钱来维修或者更换。

3. D. 根据Keep your eyes up. See the world happening around you. Stare out a window. Listen to the birds. Take a walk. Wonder without Googling等内容可知，Gregory的父母不希望儿子沉迷于高科技产品，他们希望儿子能够把手机作为一个有益的辅助设备，而将精力放在体验真正的现实生活中去。

4. C. 根据文章列出的诸多规定可知，Gregory在旅游的时候可以带手机，但是不能带到学校去，有电话要接，但是不需要把每个生活的情景都拍照录像记录下来。所以c, e两项最恰当。
