Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational 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 learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conversationalists.

1.According to the author, people make conversation to ______.
A.exchange ideas
B.prove their value
C.achieve success in life
D.overcome their fear of silence
答案:D 细节理解题。文章的第一段Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence.可知交谈是克服沉默的恐惧。故D正确。
2.By “the buzzing of a fly” (Para. 1), the author means“________”.
A.the noise of an insect B.a low whispering sound
C.meaningless talks D.the voice of a chatterbox
答案:C 词义理解题。根据文章第一段大意及最后一句but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure.可知the buzzing of a fly为“无意义的交谈”之意。故C正确。
