1、第2练阅读理解完形填空语法填空.阅读理解A“I love you” might be one of the most important combinations in the English language.Its the signal that a romantic relationship is serious,an indication of closeness for a sibling(兄弟姐妹),parent,or child.But the way its used in China might be a little different.The Global Times r
2、eports that two online videos showing children telling their parents “I love you” have gone viral(火了起来) in China.The first shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them.The responses are mixed.“Are you drunk?” asked one parent.In another similar video,a father responded eve
3、n less politely“I am going to a meeting,so cut the crap”Even the positive reactions make it clear that the words are expressed rarely:“I am so happy you called to say that,it is the happiest thing that happened to me,” one parent answered.This isnt the first time that China has done some soul search
4、ing about familiar lovelast year China Daily asked a crosssection of people if they said “I love you” to their parents,spouses(爱人),and children.“I have never said I love you to my family,and I dont think I will in the future,” one 56yearold told the paper.“Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.”Sti
5、ll,that doesnt mean that love cant be expressed.In a separate article,China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng,a 31yearold woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face to face.She said,“I find it a bit odd.”Mrs.Zhao gave her father a photo album featuring photographs of them together on
6、 almost every one of her birthdays.The pictures went viral online,being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo.“I didnt sleep the night I heard about it,” her father told China Daily after the story attracted mainstream attention.“I have now memorized some of the comments on the collectio
7、n of pictures.”【语篇解读】“I love you”恐怕是英语中最重要的单词组合之一。在很多场合,人们都会自然吐露这三个词。然而在中国,“我爱你”这三个字的遭遇却大不相同。1What did the father want to express by using the underlined words?AMake a long story short!BJust shut up!CTalk about it later!DForget about it!答案A推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“But the way its used in China might be a litt
8、le different”可知,“我爱你”这句话在中国的用法可能有点儿不同。紧接着,在第二段中作者举了两个例子。在第一个例子中,家长的反应是“你喝醉了?”在第二个例子中,作者用了“even less politely”(甚至更加不礼貌),再结合这位父亲前半句说的“I am going to a meeting”可推知,这位父亲想表达的意思是“长话短说”。2What can we learn from the two online videos?AChinese children hate saying the three words to their parents.BMany Chinese
9、 parents respond strangely to the three words.CThe three words become more and more popular in China.DChinese people are rather slow in understanding others.答案B细节理解题。结合文章第二、三段对两段网络视频的介绍可知,很多中国父母对孩子对他们说“我爱你”的反应很奇怪。3What does the example of Zhao Mengmeng show?AMicroblog is the best way to express ones
10、elf.BIt is a fashion to express love on microblog.CLove can be expressed in other ways.DIt is hard to express love in public.答案C推理判断题。作者在文章中举赵女士的例子就是为了佐证第五段的主题句“Still,that doesnt mean that love cant be expressed”,也就是为了说明可以用其他方式表达爱。4What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe words “I love you” are
11、rarely used in China.BChinese people refuse to express their love to others.CChinese people use different ways to express their love.DThe words “I love you” result in misunderstanding in China.答案A主旨大意题。通读全文可知,这篇文章主要讲的是“我爱你”这三个字在中国很少被使用。BThere is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alex

16、cause people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies.They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death.So let people not take life for granted.”The second wish of strewing gold,silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a
17、 bit of gold will come with me.I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me.Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin,I wish people to know that I came emptyhanded into this world and
