浙江省宁波市北仑中学2018-2019学年高二上学期英语期初返校考试试卷
Silence is unnatural to man. He does all he can (make) a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he(introduce) to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself asfailure, and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox (喋喋不休的人).He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation (mean) no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure (蜡塑人像).
The aim of conversation is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as(annoy) as the continuous noise made by a mosquito (蚊子). But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.
Those hate to pick up the weather as a(conversation) opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of(learn) anything new. Some of them are content if they are (mere) allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears.
