三、完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)

阅读下面的短文,从短文后所给的四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

  One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, “You speak very good English.” But the girl  41 , “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite  42  at the answer. Thinking maybe the girl had not   43  him clearly, he said, “Yes, I mean you speak very well.” 44  the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know  45  to say.

  What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t  46  a compliment(恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She  47  understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest(谦虚的). In the  48 , people will feel proud(自豪的) and  49   when they are praised(被表扬). So if someone says the  50  you have cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank you.”

  In our country we think being modest is a virtue (美德)and being proud is a bad thing, but in my opinion, being confident(自信的) does not  51  being proud, so sometimes you should be confident  52  being modest.

   53  you are modest and say, “No, I’m afraid I can’t do it well”, while working in a western country, the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say “No”, you will certainly be looked down upon(被瞧不起) by  54 . When asking for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “Let me have a try”, he or she will expect to get it. So in the west, you should be  55  to show your self-confidence.

41.A.cried        B.laughed      C.shouted       D.answered

42.A.excited       B.surprised     C.relaxed       D.angry

43.A.heard        B.watched      C.listened       D.looked at

44.A.Though        B.Although      C.Or          D.But

45.A.when        B.which        C.what         D.how

46.A.receive       B.accept       C.refuse        D.disagree

47.A.normally      B.really       C.usually       D.badly

  The carter quickly took the policeman’s hand and put it down on the top of the light. The light was still hot and burnt the policeman’s hand. The policeman jumped and he was very angry.

第二节 任务型阅读(共4小题,每小题2分,满分8分)

根据短文内容使用适当词语填空,每空不限定词数。

  Foreign visitors are often puzzled(茫然的) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is just across the bus stop.”

  In the Midwest of America, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance(距离). In Kansas, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”

  People in California, have no idea of distance on the map. They give distance by telling time. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.

  People in Greece(希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

  One thing will help you everywhere. You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go on in that direction, and you may find the post office!
