Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.Opening the DoorIn days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. _2_. This has now almost entirely disappearedand it is pot entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism (大男子主義)Writing Thank­You NotesIn days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank­you note as soon as possible. _3_. Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank­you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank­you note would be laughed at._4_We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. _5_. After all, a party normally has a guest of honorthis is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honorand once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.AArriving on TimeBLeaving at the Right TimeCPeople leave with various excusesDIt enabled people to get on well with each otherEThis rule was true even if the giver was a relativeFIt could be the lady they were driving, or a strangerGWe've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will本文講的是禮儀。1D解析：根據(jù)上一句：禮儀，或禮貌，過去像膠水一樣將社會團結起來?？芍丝毡磉_的意思是：它使人們相處得很好。故選D。2F解析：根據(jù)空格上句：在過去，無論是什么場合，紳士都會為女士開門。再根據(jù)空格后一句：這種情況現(xiàn)在幾乎已經(jīng)看不到了。可知此空表達的意思是：他們可能會為搭乘他們車的女士或者一位陌生女士開門。故選F。3E解析：根據(jù)空格上一句：以前當人們收到禮物總會盡快寫一封感謝信，以表達自己真誠的謝意。再根據(jù)空格后一句：孩子在收到生日或圣誕節(jié)禮物時，父母會教孩子寫感謝信?？芍丝找磉_的意思是：這條法則是真實的，即使給予者是親戚。故選E。4B解析：此空是小標題。根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容：我們似乎越來越缺少正確的時間觀念和禮儀了，我們會因為各式各樣的借口離開正在參加的聚會?？芍颂幍囊馑际牵哼m時地離開。可知B項適合做標題。5C解析：根據(jù)空格前一句：目前當我們談到聚會時，我們似乎越來越缺少正確的時間觀念和禮儀了。再根據(jù)空格后一句：畢竟聚會應以最年長的婦人為貴賓。可知此空所要表達的意思是：人們因為各式各樣的借口離開正在參加的聚會。故選C。.語法填空(2019·綏德中學高三階段性測試)A recent study shows that most adults did household chores _1_ (active)when they were young. Most kids today do not do as many household chores as before, _2_ same study shows.An expert said, “Parents today want their kids to spend more time _3_ things that can bring them money and honour.

That is doing household chores.”Another study finds that compared with the kids _5_ didn't do household chores, young adults beginning chores at ages 3 and 4 were more likely _6_ (succeed). They had better family relationships, did better in school, performed better at work and were more independent.Personal happiness _7_ (say)to come from strong relationships. It begins by learning to be kind and _8_ (help)to their parents at home.If your kids say they have to skip chores because it's time they _9_ (deal)with their homework, you'd better not let them off the hook. If you do, your child may think grades are more important than caring about others. “What may seem like small _10_ (message)at the moment add up to big ones over time，” says an expert.一項研究表明，現(xiàn)在的大部分成年人小時候都做過家務，而現(xiàn)在的大部分孩子不像以前的孩子那樣做很多家務了。而研究證明，從小做家務的孩子們長大之后會在家庭、學校和社會上表現(xiàn)更好，而且更獨立。所以父母要培養(yǎng)孩子們從小做家務的習慣。1actively解析：考查副詞。句意：最近的一項研究表明，大多數(shù)成年人在年輕時主動做家務。分析句子結構可知，空處修飾謂語動詞，修飾動詞要用副詞，所以要用active的副詞形式actively。2the解析：考查冠詞。此處的“study”就是上文提到的“study”，是特指，故用定冠詞the 表示特指。3on解析：考查固定搭配。句意：今天的父母希望他們的孩子把更多的時間花在能給他們帶來金錢和榮譽的東西上。spend sth. on sth.為 固定搭配，意為“把花在上”。可知此處填介詞on。4doing解析：考查固定搭配。句意：他們已經(jīng)停止做被證明能帶來成功的事情。那就是做家務。根據(jù)語境可知，這里說的是“停止做某事”，而不是“停下來去做某事”，故用stop doing sth.。5who/that解析：考查定語從句。分析句子結構可知，空處在句中引導定語從句，先行詞為the kids，關系代詞在從句中作主語，因此本空填who/that。6to_succeed解析：考查固定短語。句意：在3歲到4歲開始做家務的年輕人更有可能成功。be likely to do sth.為固定短語，意為“某人有可能做某事”，故用不定式to succeed。7is_said解析：考查固定用法。句意：據(jù)說個人幸福來自于牢固的人際關系。本句含有“be said動詞不定式”結構，且這里說的是現(xiàn)在的一般情況，主語為Personal happiness，因此填is said。8helpful解析：考查形容詞作表語。本空應填形容詞helpful與kind并列作表語。故填helpful。9dealt/should_deal解析：考查固定句式。句意：如果你的孩子說他們不得不停止做家務，因為現(xiàn)在是他們做家庭作業(yè)的時候了。It's time (that).為固定句型，that從句要用虛擬語氣，即從句謂語用一般過去式或“shoulddo”，其中should不可以省略，故填dealt/should deal。10messages解析：考查名詞的復數(shù)。message是可數(shù)名詞，其前沒有冠詞，故要用其復數(shù)形式messages。.短文改錯(2019·廣東省實驗中學高三月考)That I was in the second grade, my mother would frequently send me there to the little neighborhood store. One day I went with a list, and when the storekeeper's back turned, I couldn't help reach into his candy box on the counter and pocketing one. On the way home, I enjoyed them very much. But over the years, I felt guilt about it so much. Therefore when I spotted the old storekeeper at the football game during my high school years, I apologized at him. He smiled, holding out his hand, and said, “You owe me ten cent.”答案.書面表達(2019·沾益區(qū)第四中學高三模擬)假設你是李華，你國際學校的朋友Paul邀請你下個星期天去他們學校參加文化交流活動并介紹中國傳統(tǒng)繪畫 (traditional Chinese painting), 但是你的爺爺生病住院，不得不謝絕他的邀請。請根據(jù)下面的要點給Paul用英語寫一封回信。要點：1.謝絕Paul的邀請；2說明你的理由；3推薦你的同學Anna參加。注意：1.詞數(shù)100左右；2可以適當增加細節(jié)，以使行文連貫；3信的開頭已為你寫好(不計入總詞數(shù))。Dear Paul，Thank you very much for your invitation.I'd_love_to_accept_it_and_take_this_opportunity_to_introduce_traditional_Chinese_painting_to_foreign_friends,_but_I'm_sorry_to_inform_you_that_I_can't._My_grandpa_is_seriously_ill_in_hospital_and_I_have_to_look_after_him._As_for_the_introduction_speech,_I_strongly_recommend_my_friend_Anna,_who_is_the_most_suitable_choice,_to_take_my_place_next_Sunday._She_began_to_learn_painting_at_an_early_age_and_has_a_broad_knowledge_of_traditional_Chinese_painting,_which,_combined_with_her_active_personality_and_perfect_spoken_English,_will_help_make_your_activity_a_success.Sorry_again_for_any_inconvenience_caused_by_my_absence_and_all_the_best_wishes_to_you.Yours，Li Hua6
