I hope they can help you to be a polite person. ☆“Could you give me five minutes?” VS “Go away.” You’re really busy, but your classmate needs your help. When you’re busy and can’t help him or her, you can’t say, “Go away.” Instead, you should say, “Could you give me five minutes?” ☆“Excuse me.” VS “Move.” Telling someone to move out of the way is very impolite. When someone is in your way, you should say, “Excuse me.” ☆“I’m afraid I can’t.” VS “No.” It can often be difficult to decline an invitation from a friend. Saying “No” would be impolite. If you have to say no to an invitation, you’d better say, “I’m afraid I can’t.” ☆“Would you mind...?” VS “Stop it!” If someone is doing something rude (无礼的), would you like him or her to stop? You shouldn’t say, “Stop talking on the phone in the cinema!” You can say, “Would you mind not talking on the phone in the cinema, please?” 4. How many polite ways does the writer show us? A. Two. B.

If you have to say no to an invitation, you’d better say, ‘I’m afraid I can’t.’”可知，此处指的是拒绝邀请，decline在这里意为“拒绝”，与refuse意思相近，故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If someone is doing something rude (无礼的), would you like him or her to stop? You shouldn’t say, ‘Stop talking on the phone in the cinema!’ You can say, ‘Would you mind not talking on the phone in the cinema, please?’”可知，如果你不希望某人在这里抽烟，你可以礼貌地说“Would you mind not smoking here?”，故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要告诉我们如何礼貌地和别人交谈，故选A。 C Darrius was born with three fingers on his right hand and one on his left hand. He had to work hard to do things that were easy for others. Every time his classmates tried to help, he would say, “Thanks, but I can do it myself.” He learned to use the four fingers to do different things. When Darrius was 10, he told his father that he liked piano music very much. “It’s too bad that you can’t play,” his father said. But the boy took that as a challenge. “I will show people that I can,” he said to himself. A month later, a neighbor gave him an old piano when she moved away. He taught himself to play the piano and practiced for more than six hours a day. Darrius’s favorite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician. It took Darrius half a year to learn it. “I have to come up with my own way with only 4 fingers,” he said. When he succeeded, he felt so proud. Later he was lucky enough to play the music together with Yiruma at a famous concert hall! Yiruma encouraged Darrius to follow his dream of playing his own music. Darrius has made it. And his music is popular today. “I may have a disability,” he says, “but I don’t let it hold me back from anything.” 8. What does the word “that” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 2? A. Having four fingers.

Peng likes playing the guzheng best. She began to study it when she was 7 years old. In 2017, she went to France to study for a master’s degree in musicology. There, Peng was deeply drawn to the different kinds of performances by artists playing musical instruments (乐器) on the streets.  But she seldom saw Chinese instruments played on the streets. So, in the summer of 2018, she took her favorite instrument and began to perform on the streets. She was surprised to find that very few people in France knew about it. “I wanted to make this instrument known to more people,” Peng said. She began to play the guzheng on the streets to improve her skills. The more Peng played on the streets, the greater sense of responsibility she felt to spread Chinese music and culture. Considering that the foreigners might not understand Chinese songs, she decided to add explanations in French. For example, she prefaced (为……写序言) Big Fish, a song from a famous film, with explanations in French, briefly introducing the movie. “To see Chinese instruments like the guzheng go global and get more people to know, I think this is the biggest wish of Chinese artists playing the traditional musical instrument,” she said. 12. Why did Peng begin to perform on the streets of France? A. Because she wanted to change her life by this way. B. Because many foreigners liked Chinese instruments. C. Because few people played Chinese instruments on the streets. D. Because she wanted to finish her task to get a master’s degree. 13. What does the word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. A song. B. An instrument. C. A university. D. A country. 14. How did Peng do to help the foreigners better understand Chinese songs? A. By providing French explanations. B. By asking some French musicians for help. C. By giving lectures on the guzheng’s history. D. By performing the songs written by herself. 15. What could we learn from the last paragraph? A. Chinese artists wanted to improve their musical skills. B. Peng hoped to be one of the best artists in the world. C. Peng hoped more people know about Chinese instruments. D. More and more foreigners wanted to spread Chinese culture. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15.

So, in the summer of 2018, she took her favorite instrument and began to perform on the streets.”可知，彭开始在法国街头表演是因为她很少看到有人在街头演奏中国乐器，故选C。 【13题详解】 词汇指代题。根据“So, in the summer of 2018, she took her favorite instrument and began to perform on the streets. She was surprised to find that very few people in France knew about it.”可知，此处的“it”指的是她的乐器，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Considering that the foreigners might not understand Chinese songs, she decided to add explanations in French.”可知，彭通过提供法语解释来帮助外国人更好地理解中国歌曲，故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据“To see Chinese instruments like the guzheng go global and get more people to know, I think this is the biggest wish of Chinese artists playing the traditional musical instrument”可知，彭希望更多的人了解中国乐器，故选C。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题1分, 满分5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Do you have any problems or worries about written English?

He had to work hard to do things that were easy for others. Every time his classmates tried to help, he would say, “Thanks, but I can do it myself.” He learned to use the four fingers to do different things. When Darrius was 10 he told his father that he liked piano music very much. “It’s too bad that you can’t play,” his father said. But the boy took that as a challenge. “I will show people that I can,” he said to himself. A month later a neighbor gave him an old piano when she moved away. He taught himself to play the piano and practiced for more than six hours a day. Darrius’s favorite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician. It took Darrius half a year to learn it. “I have to come up with my own way with only 4 fingers,” he said. When he succeeded, he felt so proud. Later he was lucky enough to play the music together with Yiruma at a famous concert hall! Yiruma encouraged Darrius to follow his dream of playing his own music. Darrius has made it.

D When Peng Jingxuan began playing the guzheng on the streets of France in 2018, she did not expect that it would change her life. Peng likes playing the guzheng best. She began to study it when she was 7 years old. In 2017, she went to France to study for a master’s degree in musicology. There, Peng was deeply drawn to the different kinds of performances by artists playing musical instruments (乐器) on the streets.  But she seldom saw Chinese instruments played on the streets. So, in the summer of 2018, she took her favorite instrument and began to perform on the streets. She was surprised to find that very few people in France knew about it. “I wanted to make this instrument known to more people,” Peng said. She began to play the guzheng on the streets to improve her skills. The more Peng played on the streets, the greater sense of responsibility she felt to spread Chinese music and culture. Considering that the foreigners might not understand Chinese songs, she decided to add explanations in French. For example, she prefaced (为……写序言) Big Fish, a song from a famous film, with explanations in French, briefly introducing the movie. “To see Chinese instruments like the guzheng go global and get more people to know, I think this is the biggest wish of Chinese artists playing the traditional musical instrument,” she said. 12. Why did Peng begin to perform on the streets of France? A. Because she wanted to change her life by this way. B. Because many foreigners liked Chinese instruments. C. Because few people played Chinese instruments on the streets. D. Because she wanted to finish her task to get a master’s degree. 13. What does the word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. A song. B. An instrument. C. A university. D. A country. 14. How did Peng do to help the foreigners better understand Chinese songs? A. By providing French explanations. B. By asking some French musicians for help. C. By giving lectures on the guzheng’s history. D. By performing the songs written by herself. 15. What could we learn from the last paragraph? A. Chinese artists wanted to improve their musical skills. B. Peng hoped to be one of the best artists in the world. C Peng hoped more people know about Chinese instruments. D. More and more foreigners wanted to spread Chinese culture. 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题1分, 满分5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Do you have any problems or worries about written English?
