19、bout English politeness: its everywhere.When squeezing(挤) past someone or passing through a crowd in a narrow place,people say “sorry”When getting off a bus,English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver.In Germany,people would never dream of doing these things.After all,squeezing past ot
20、hers is sometimes unavoidable(不可避免的),and the bus driver is only doing his job.I used to think the same way,without questioning it,until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate(欣赏) some more polite ways of communicating with people,and here are some more polite ways of interac
21、ting with people in UK.People thank each other everywhere in England all the time.When people buy something in a shop,customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more.In Germany,it would be surprising to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation.British students tha
22、nk their lecturers when leaving the room.English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs,which is different from Germans,who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize(批评) others
23、.Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me,my employers repeated several times but none of their explanations were intended as scolding me.It has been my impression that by avoiding scolding,English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable.This also is showed in
24、other ways.British men still open doors for women,and British men are more likely to treat(请客) women to a meal than German men.However,I do need to point out here that this applies(适用于) to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes,the latter are a bit mean(吝啬的)【语篇解读】相比德国人和苏格兰人,英国人的礼貌
25、无处不在。作者通过把英国人和德国人、苏格兰人相比较,来体现英国人的礼貌及绅士。8What is the authors feeling of English politeness?AHe thinks highly of it.BHe thinks little of it.CHe thinks it is unnecessary.DHe thinks it goes too far.A推理判断题。通过第一段及全文可知,作者看到英国人的礼貌无处不在,起初他不以为然,认为有些事大可不必说客气话,但是在英国大不列颠岛的一次旅行改变了作者对英国人礼貌的看法。appreciate意为“欣赏”。故A选项
26、正确。9What can be inferred from the passage?ABritish men never treat a woman to dinner.BBritish men think its unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.CIn Germany,employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.DGermans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is eno
27、ugh.D细节理解题。通过文中第二段最后一句话“English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs,which is different from Germans,who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.”可知,英国老板会感谢工人为自己做的工作。相反,德国老板却不会,因为他们觉得付给工人的钱已经足够了。故D选项正确。10We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottis
28、h men Alike to fight with each otherBtreat women more politely than English menCare as generous as English menDare unwilling to spend money for womenD细节理解题。根据文中最后一段的后半部分可知,英国男士比德国男士更喜欢请女士吃饭,但是,作者同时指出这个规律相比苏格兰男士而言更适合英国男士,因为苏格兰男士有一些很吝啬,不愿意出钱。故D选项正确。11The author develops the text through the method of
29、Atelling storiesBmaking comparisons (对比)Cgiving reasonsDdoing scientific research (调查)B细节理解题。通过全文可知,作者通过把英国人和德国人、苏格兰人相比较,来体现英国人的礼貌及绅士。故B选项正确。DHaving a smartphone may not be as smart as you think.They may let you surf the Internet,listen to music and take photos wherever you are.but they also turn yo
30、u into a workaholic(工作狂),it seems.A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the smartphone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Experts found that British people work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The
31、 study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours,but 2 more hours is spent responding to or sending work emails,or making work calls.Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails.Some workers say they are on call almost 24
32、hours a day.Nearly twothirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up,while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am.and 7 am.with more than a third checking their first email
33、 in the period,and a quarter checking them between 11 pm.and midnight.Ghadi Hobeika,marketing director of Pixmania,said:“The ability to access millions of Apps has made smartphone invaluable for many people.However,there are disadvantages.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours
34、a day,seven days a week,and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work.The more frequently in contact we become,the more is expected of us in a work capacity.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇科教类短文阅读。文章主要介绍使用智能手机也许并不像你想的那样明智。使用智能手机可以让你随时随地上网、听音乐、拍照片但也可能让你变成工作狂。最新调查显示,智能手机能让你随时查收邮件,因此这种花哨的手机会让你每天的工作时间延长多达两个小时。
35、12With a smartphone the average UK working day is A11 to 12 hoursB9 to 10 hoursC8 hoursD2 hoursA细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours,but 2 more hours is spent responding to or sending work emails,or making work calls.”可知英国的平均工作日,使用智能手机11到12小时。故选A。13We c
36、an learn from the text that the British people Aprefer to check emails in the morningBare crazy about different smartphoneCwork more hours with smartphonesDshorten their normal working hoursC细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the smartphone adds as much
37、as two hours to your working day.”可知,英国人在智能手机上比工作时间更长。故选C。14What does the underlined word “invaluable” mean?Auseless BnecessaryCexpensiveDcheapB词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段其后两句“However,there are disadvantages.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day,seven days a week,and smartphones mean
38、 that people cannot get away from work.”可知其也有缺点,许多公司希望他们的员工能够随时等待电话通知,使得人们工作离不开智能手机。从而可以猜测出invaluable为“极为重要的”之意。故选B。15What does Ghadi Hobeika feel about smartphones?AThey are unimportant for most of people.BThey have disadvantages for some companies.CThey are useful to improve a work ability.DThey m
39、ake it impossible for people to rest.D推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However,there are disadvantages.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day,seven days a week,and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work.The more frequently in contact we become,the more is expected of us in
40、a work capacity.”可知,Ghadi Hobeika认为智能手机让人们很难得到休息。故选D。.阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Healthy habits that stickHere are five rules that helped me develop good habits.1Pick habits you honestly want to haveI didnt choose habits I thought I should add because of what anyone else was doing. 16 It was about l
