Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all
37、 over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says, “Im so sorry. Im so sorry.”His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts character were from the Britain, than she would probably apologize repeatedly as well even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesnt happen in the movie, as
38、 Roberts is from the US.A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if they mishear someone, they say “So
39、rry?” The person they are talking to will also apologize by replying, “No, I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as they compete over who is the most sorry.Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in British
40、 class system. “We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologize for not being the working class, but also for really being the upper class.” Another theory is that they apologize to avoid conflicts. For example, if they bump into someone, he might get angry. To avo
41、id this, they instantly say “Sorry!”True manners are about being considerate, and todays constant use of apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word “sorry” has lost some of its meaning.Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.24. Why does th
42、e author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning?A. To give an example of British modesty.B. To introduce different ways of saying sorry.C. To show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK.D. To draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry.25. Which of th
43、e following statements might Mark Tyrell agree with?A. People should not apologize if they are not responsible.B. Americans care less about manners than British people do.C. That British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.D. British people care too much about which social class t

45、re polite.27. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To explore the best way of saying sorry.B. To explain why Britons overuse the word “sorry”.C. To show how saying sorry has changed over time.D. To suggest many British people lack traditional manners.【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. B【解析】
46、【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过一些电影情节和报道，告诉我们英国人在日常生活中频繁的使用“对不起”，这个单词已经失去了它的一些意思。【24题详解】推理判断题。由第一段“The hit movie Notting Hill (诺丁山) begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says, “Im so sorry. Im so sorry.”(热门电影诺丁山从一
47、个著名的场景开始。休格兰特撞见朱莉娅罗伯茨，把橙汁洒了一身。碰撞发生后，格兰特反复说：“我很抱歉。我很抱歉。”)”可知，作者在开头提到电影诺丁山的一个场景是让我们注意英国人什么时候和怎样说对不起。故选D项。【25题详解】细节理解题。由第四段中的“Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in British class system. (英国心理学作家马克泰瑞尔认为，他们的道歉倾向根源于英国的阶级制度)”可知，马克泰瑞尔，英国的一个心理学作家，认为
48、英国人如此道歉，与阶级制度有关。故选C项。【26题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第二段“True manners are about being considerate, and todays constant use of apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word “sorry” has lost some of its meaning. (真正的礼貌是体贴，而今天不断使用的道歉表明，我们也许不像以前那样体贴了。“对不起”这个词已经失去了一些意义)”可知，文章倒数第二段的主要讲
49、频繁说“对不起”已经失去了一些意义，它并不像以前那样体贴，可得出多说“对不起”并不一定意味着人们更有礼貌。故选D项。【27题详解】推理判断题。第一段用电影片段引出“英国人什么时候和怎样说对不起”，第二段讲“英国人习惯说“对不起”，美国人不说”，第三段讲“英国人在很多情况下都会用“对不起”，第四段讲“英国人习惯说“对不起”的原因”，第五段讲“对不起”这个词如今已经失去了一些意义”，最后一段总结全文“说“对不起”是英国人的事情”。由此推知，文章通过一些电影情节和报道，意在告诉我们英国人在日常生活中频繁的使用“对不起”。故选B项。CA rainforest is an area covered by
50、 tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading（扩大） quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely falling below 16C. Rainforests have a great influence on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.Without the forest cover, these areas woul

52、e major resources ： land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cuttin
53、g trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run
54、 it actually reduces the worlds wood supply. Rainforests are often called the worlds drugstore. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best ch

C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了热带雨林在人们生活中的重要作用，我们要保护热带雨林，不要过度开垦砍伐。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Rainforests have a great influence
59、on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.（热带雨林对世界环境有很大的影响，因为它们可以吸收太阳的热量并调节气候。）”以及文章第二段“Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect（反射）more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world.（如果没有森林覆盖，这些地区将把更多的热量反射到大气中，使世界其他地区变暖。）”可知雨林可以吸
60、收太阳的热量，减少太阳热量对地球的影响，有助于调节气候。故选D项。【29题详解】词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.（人们显然需要我们从砍伐树木中获得的资源，但我们所遭受的痛苦将远远超过我们所获得的利益。）”可知，砍伐树木虽然能获得利益，但是我们失去的却远远多于我们获得的利益。通过上下文的语境可以判断出，第三段划线的“this”指的是我们失去的会比得到的多得
61、多。故选A项。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“More than 25 of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the worlds shrinking rainfores
62、ts.( 我们现在使用的药物有25%以上来自热带雨林的植物。然而，只有不到1%的雨林植物被检测出其药用价值。我们治愈疾病的最佳机会极有可能出现在世界上正在缩小的雨林中。)”可以推断出，热带雨林有很大的药用潜力，故选B项。【31题详解】主旨大意题。通读整篇内容可知，短文介绍了热带雨林在人们生活中的重要作用。它们能吸收太阳光调节地球上的温度，降低人类患病几率，其中有一些药用的植物药材还可以用来为人类治病，因此，我们要保护热带雨林，不要滥垦滥伐。所以本文的主题是热带雨林和环境，故短文的最佳标题是“热带雨林和环境 ”。故选C项。DA Swiss airplane powered only by ene
