【題目】Even nowadays there is a lot of misunderstanding between nationalities. Let's have a look at what the following people have to say.

Maria Conti: I find the English people insincere, cold and unfriendly. They keep saying "Thank you", "I'm sorry" even when they don't know each other. They are even polite to their own relatives. Except for helping you find your way in the streets, they aren't really friendly and never invite you to their houses.

Giannis Stinios: On the contrary I found them broad-minded and friendly.I was invited to people's houses and they all showed great interest in my ideas,Greek life and people.In England I learned that it was possible to be warm, friendly and polite at the same time.

Judy Brown: I lived in both Italy and Greece for a few years.At first there were a few misunderstandings between my foreign friends and myself. For example, I once gave a Greek friend a present for her birthday party.I was rather sorry that she did not unwrap it immediately. What's more, she even didn't thank me until I asked her if she liked it.I've learned from different experiences that a lot of foreigners find our attitude to what we English people call politeness rather insincere. They feel that politeness isn't necessary between friends.

【1】According to Maria Conti, it is ________.

A. insincere to keep saying "Thank you" and "I'm sorry"

B. necessary for relatives to be polite to each other

C. unfriendly for the English people to help you find your way in the streets

C. ideas of what are good manners are the same in different countries

D. ideas of what is politeness are not always the same in different countries

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】這篇文章主要講了不同的國家的人之間可能會有許多的誤解，幾個人就此問題給出了自己的看法。

【1】根據(jù)Maria Conti所說的內(nèi)容：I find the English people insincere(虛偽的), cold and unfriendly. They keep saying “Thank you”, “I’m sorry”, even when they don’t know each other.可知，他認(rèn)為一直說“謝謝”“對不起”很虛偽，故選A。

【2】根據(jù)Giannis Sinios說的內(nèi)容：they all showed great interest in my ideas, Greek life and people.可知，英國人經(jīng)常向她了解Greece的情況。故選B。

【3】根據(jù)最后一段“I once gave a Greek friend a present for her birthday．I was rather sorry that she didn’t unwrap it immediately．What’s more, she even didn’t thank me until I asked her if she liked it!”反襯出英國人收到禮物后馬上拆開，并且說“謝謝”。故選B。

【4】根據(jù)最后一段“I’ve learned from different experiences that a lot of foreigners find our attitude to what we English people call politeness rather insincere. They feel that politeness isn’t necessary between friends”可以了解到Judy Brown的感受，Judy Brown認(rèn)為在不同國家禮貌的含義并不總是相同的。故選D。

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

One of the greatest biologists the world has ever seen was Charles Darwin. Darwin was born to a middle-class family in Shrewsbury, England, in February, 1809. His father was the leading doctor of the town.

【1】 He loved to walk through the woods looking at plants and birds. At the proper age, he was admitted into Shrewsbury School. There he studied Latin, classical literature, and ancient history. Young Charles thought that these subjects were dull and useless. He would have preferred scientific studies. 【2】

In 1825, at the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Scotland to study medicine. He studied there for two years and continued to do poorly. He once wrote to his sister that his medical courses were completely stupid. By then, Darwin’s father knew that his son would never become a doctor.

Darwin’s father then sent him to Cambridge to become a clergyman (牧師). During his Cambridge years, Darwin loved to collect beetles(甲蟲), but to him it was only a hobby. He didn’t take it seriously. 【3】 That was Professor John Henslow, the head of the Botany Department.

Somehow, Darwin managed to graduate from Cambridge in 1831. Upon graduation, Professor Henslow arranged for him to go with Captain Fitzroy on a survey trip around the world. During the voyage, Darwin collected rocks, bones, and insects. He took many notes on all that he observed. 【4】

The widely believed theory in those days was that God created each creature separately and individually. In 1859, Darwin published his famous book, The Origin of Species. 【5】 The theory was instantly and very strongly attacked. Darwin was accused of destroying religion and insulting (侮辱) the human race. Today, however, Darwin’s theory is considered to be one of the major discoveries of modern science.

A. As a result, he did poorly.

B. One person at Cambridge, however, did.

C. As a boy, Darwin showed a great interest in living things.

D. In it, he explained his theory of evolution by natural selection.

E. Shrewsbury was a busy market town surrounded by rich farmlands.

F. The thoughts that led to his theory of evolution were beginning to form.

G. By the time Darwin died in 1882, he was recognized as one of England's greatest scientists.

【題目】In eighth grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first verse(節(jié)) before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas song didn’t get me any role.

Am I embarrassed? NO. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it’s such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science confirms this theory.

Researchers have conducted many studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you’re able to do well and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.

Growing up, I was type of student who had to get straight A’s and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so ridiculously high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.

When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy for others than ourselves. With each mistake coming a lesson, you will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges going forward.

More importantly, if you are always worried about looking silly, you will never be able to get improved. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn’t the end of the world. Think about it: What’s the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.

【1】By writing the passage, the author wants to tell us ________.

A. it is time to forgive others

B. everyone may make mistakes

C. it’s okay to make mistakes

D. what can be done to forgive our mistakes

【2】What does the underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?

A. A mistake makes you more likeable.

B. An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.

C. People mess up in life at times.

D. It’s good to share a great story with others

【3】According to the passage, we know the author ________.

A. is pleased with her hard work

B. was once a person who wants things to be perfect

C. was happy with her high standard

D. never forgives herself for the mistakes she made

【4】What message is delivered in the last two paragraphs?

A. Making a fool of yourself.

B. Viewing mistakes as learning opportunities.

C. Admitting mistakes is risky.

D. People tend to feel sorry for themselves.

Trying to come to a decision complete on your own can be risky. Some decisions are very important that they shouldn’t made without talking to others first. There have several advantages if you consult the persons you trust. For one thing, they can give you valuable advice and they may point out some things you may have been overlooked. For another, friends may stop you from making big mistakes.

When consult others about important decisions, you should keep two things on mind. The first one is that you need to find someone whom you respected enough to trust his or her judgment. The second thing to consider is how to do if you disagree with this person. Maybe turning to a third or fourth person for help is a good choice. In a word, making any big decision alone can lead to problems. Talking to friends or family members first are always a good idea.

【題目】Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. 【1】,and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
