in a resigned tone of voice that says that theres nothing that can be done about it.When plaints are made,they are made in an apologetic or a humorous tone of voice.In France,on the other hand,angry passengers might riot(鬧事) and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London Underground provides.Americans and other Europeans,who are much more direct and in-your-face than the British,often wonder why British people always say “sorry” or “excuse me”when they plain.“Its like theyre apologizing for something that isnt their fault,”they say.They are missing the point.British people are not really sorryit is because the word “sorry” actually works as a distancing mechanism(技巧).This is important in terms of negative politeness and not drawing attention to yourself.If you do not say “sorry”or use other distancing words like“could”,“would”,“might”,“possibly” and so on,you will be seen as rude.1.What does the underlined part “bottle it up” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Put something into bottles.B.Not do anything dangerous.C.Cause problems by hesitating.D.Not allow emotions to be seen.2.The French tend to .A.tolerate bad serviceB.enjoy taking the subwayC.make a plaint humorouslyD.express their dissatisfaction directly3.When the British say “sorry”,they actually want to .A.try not to be rudeB.apologize sincerelyC.show their feelings directlyD.draw attention to themselves4.Which can be the best title for the text?A.How to plainB.plaining politelyC.Poor service in BritainD.Politeness rules across the worldBEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days，musicians are performing in private homes，at haircutting shops，at airports.even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs，they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O Hair Salon，Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then，they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon，near the hairdryers and makeup tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon，”Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last weeks performance.Frank said she and band members，Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time“interacting” with the audience.Concerts in peoples homes，or small businesses such as O Hairs，are being more popular，musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere，”said Domenic Cicala，a musician who opened up his O Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts，people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often，the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend，”said Matt Hart，with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers，a folkrock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts，the musicians do not need microphones.Yet，every word of their songs can be heard.1Why do musicians like house concerts?ABecause private homes are easier to get to.BBecause people pay more attention to their music.CBecause they can do other things while performing.DBecause they dont have to bring their microphones.2What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last weeks performance?AThe small performance space.BHer first show at a hair salon.CTheir interaction with the audience.DThe more relaxed atmosphere.3How many music groups are mentioned in the text?AOne.

(必修4Unit 4)【短文語法填空】.A【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是議論文。英國(guó)人通常禮貌地表達(dá)不滿。1.D詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文的people either just do not plain及下文的“.and then explode in an inappropriate outpouring of aggressive plaints.”可推斷,英國(guó)人有時(shí)不抱怨,有時(shí)抑制不滿的情緒并最終爆發(fā)。故畫線部分的意思應(yīng)是“掩蓋或抑制情緒或感情”。2.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段末尾的“In France,on the other hand,angry passengers might riot and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London Underground provides.”可知,法國(guó)人常常直接表達(dá)自己的不滿。3.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章末尾的“If you do not say sorryor use other distancing words.you will be seen as rude.”可知,英國(guó)人說“抱歉”,實(shí)際上是為了在抱怨時(shí)盡量不表現(xiàn)得粗魯無禮。4.B主旨大意題。本文主要講英國(guó)人抱怨的方式非常委婉、禮貌。故B項(xiàng)正確。B.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是記敘文。文章講述了一個(gè)旅行作家與他的寵物狗蕾拉的故事。1.A根據(jù)下文的“.to follow my dream of being a travel writer.”可知,當(dāng)時(shí)作者即將“辭去(quit)”一份穩(wěn)定的工作。2.D根據(jù)下文的“Layla had me at the first wag.”可知,盡管作者即將辭去一份穩(wěn)定的工作,但是他一見到蕾拉就毫不猶豫地決定領(lǐng)養(yǎng)它。without a second thought“毫不猶豫”。3.A根據(jù)上文的travel writer可推斷,此處是說作者寫“故事(stories)”的時(shí)候。4.C根據(jù)上文的have long (often nonverbal)conversations可知,作者和蕾拉彼此互相“交流(municated)”。5.C根據(jù)上文的travel writer及When I sat down to write可推斷,作者會(huì)把自己“寫(written)”的東西大聲讀給蕾拉聽。6.B根據(jù)上文的“If she turned away to concentrate on cleaning a paw.”可推斷,如果看到蕾拉轉(zhuǎn)過臉集中精力于清潔爪子,作者便知道自己寫的東西不夠好,需要“重新來過(start over)”。7.A當(dāng)然蕾拉并不“理解(understand)”作者所寫的東西。8.D根據(jù)蕾拉的反應(yīng)判斷文章的好壞是作者自己修改文章的“方法(means)”。9.D根據(jù)上段的描述可知,給蕾拉讀自己所寫的東西將修改文章的任務(wù)變成了一件“樂事(joy)”。10.C因?yàn)樽髡邔⒙眯兄械墓适轮v給蕾拉聽,所以蕾拉成了作者旅行中的虛擬“伙伴(partner)”。11.D作者通過觀察蕾拉對(duì)自己的“作品(work)”的反應(yīng)迫使自己關(guān)注文章的細(xì)節(jié)。12.A根據(jù)第三段中的描述可知,作者給蕾拉講故事時(shí)“仿佛(as though)”蕾拉是一位讀者。13.A根據(jù)下文的made me a better writer可知,給蕾拉講自己所寫的東西幫助作者“改進(jìn)(shape)”自己的文章。14.C由第二、三段可知,對(duì)作者而言,蕾拉是一位“現(xiàn)成的(ready)”聽眾。15.D根據(jù)第二段開頭的“Although disappointed when I went traveling,Layla was always happy when I returned.”及第三段開頭的I would read aloud to her what可知,因?yàn)樽髡呗眯谢貋砗髮⒙猛局械墓适轮v給蕾拉聽,所以作者旅行時(shí)就像有蕾拉“在精神上(mentally)”陪伴他。16.B根據(jù)下文的“.because my friend of so long is gone.”可知如今蕾拉去世了,作者很“傷心(heartbroken)”。17.B根據(jù)上文的Like many old friends可知,像很多老朋友一樣,作者和蕾拉多年來“一起經(jīng)歷了(shared)”很多酸甜苦辣。18.C蕾拉對(duì)作者寫作的幫助令作者很“感激(grateful)”。19.D根據(jù)下文的“I owe a large part to her being at my side.”可知,不論作者作為旅行作家取得了哪些“成功(success)”,他都將其中的很大一部分歸功于蕾拉的陪伴。20.A根據(jù)第三段開頭的I would read aloud to her可知,蕾拉總是在“聆聽(listening)”作者的作品。.短文改錯(cuò)Last week I got the first prize in the English Speech Contest held in our school.WhichIt/That made me very excited.I used to be too shy to speak English in the public.It was Susan who asked me practise several times in her office and correctcorrected my pronunciation and intonation.BesideBesides,she encouraged me to be confident and brave whetherif I wanted to show my talent before others.I followed her advicesadvice.That was why I won the first prize.I am deepdeeply moved by what heshe has done for me.I owe her a thousand thanks withfor her kindness.
