A
Hello and welcome to English with Lucy. Today we have another topic:“Four common British expressions.” Now before we get started, make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here. You can subscribe to my YouTube. You can also like me on Facebook. And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well.
Four Common British Expressions:
“A piece of cake.”
And this is very similar to “Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy,” which we've discussed in a former video. And basically, it means very easy. So I might come out of an easy exam saving, “That exam was a piece of cake. ”
“Break a leg!”
It actually looks really rather cruel, but I promise you it's positive. And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!”
“It cost an arm and a leg.”
And this basically means something was really expensive. If I say, “My bag cost an arm and a leg,” I mean it cost a lot of money.
“To call it a day.”
And this means “to end a task”. So, for example, “I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll call it a day. ”That means “I think I'll stop here. Let's finish.”
Thank you so much for watching this program of “Four Common British Expressions.” I hope you like it, and I hope you've learned something.
1. How can Chinese listeners connect with Lucy?
A. With Wechat B. Through Weibo C. On Facebook D. By YouTube.
2. When John went to an English Speech Competition, you should say “_________” to him.
A Break a leg! B. It cost an arm and a leg.
C. To call it a day D. A piece of cake.
3. What does he/she mean when the teacher says “Let's call it a day.” ?
A. He/She will stop that day B. He/She feels tired
C. Class is over. D. It is daytime.
B
When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me Chinese folk(民间的)stories before bedtime. My mother is an immigrant (移民)from China. She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left. Even though I hadn’t ever experienced that culture at first hand, she wanted me to remember it.
Of all her stories, my favourites were about Sun Wukong, the monkey king who had many superpowers. Finally, though, I moved on to other kinds of heroes. When I was in the fifth grade, I bought my first American comic book(漫画书). Afterwards Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America took the place of Monkey King in my heart.
I became crazy about comic books. I loved them so much that I went on to work towards a career in comics. Today I am a professional graphic novelist(图画小说家). My best-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t a direct mixture of my mother’s stories.
Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions wholeheartedly. I needed him to emote on my pages.
For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-old Chinese classic(经典作品)that first told the monkey king’s story. As I read it, I realised that American superheroes hadn’t taken the place of Sun Wukong in my heart after all. Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America were simply Western expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king.
The monkey king’s story has lasted for centuries and travelled across cultures. Journey to the West is the best example of timeless.
My mother now has Alzheimer’s. She’s forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong.
4. What did the author’s mother expect him to do?
A. Earn a living by writing. B. Keep their Chinese culture.
C. Remember stories she told him. D. Experience Chinese culture first hand.
5. What can be learnt about the book American Born Chinese?
A. It encourages people to try their luck abroad.
B. It is a best-seller among American born Chinese.
C. It is partly inspired by the story of Sun Wukong.
D. It reflects the growing pains of American children.
6. Why did the author start to read Journey to the West?
A. To study it for the creation of his own works.
B. To compare Western classics with Chinese ones.
C. To learn the meaning of life in Journey to the West.
D. To connect American superheroes with Sun Wukong.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The approach to creating comic books.
B. The author’s worry about his mother.
C. The author’s memory of his childhood experiences.
D. The impact of Sun Wukong on the author’s writing.
C
If you’ve ever watched an elephant eat and drink with its trunk (象鼻), you may think it’s simple. A new study by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology shows that elephant trunks are pretty cool but also complicated (复杂的). In fact, this research is among the small amount of new scientific information on elephants found in more than 100 years. And the research shows that elephants use several skills to move things.
When elephants pick up foods, they use different movements, Schulz, the study’s lead researcher, says. They can also clean up objects. They can use the ends of their trunks to gently pick small objects. And they can use suction (抽吸) to pick up foods of different sizes. “They can get a tortilla (玉米饼) without ever breaking it,” says Schulz. When elephants drink, they enlarge the inside of their trunk to store water before they drink it. And elephants may have many more skills up their trunks. Schulz just hasn’t worked them all out yet and needs to do more study into it.
To study elephant trunks, Schulz spent a lot of time working with an elephant named Kelly at Zoo Atlanta in Georgia. He chose her over two other elephants there because “she is amazing,” Schulz says.“She likes exploring with her trunk, and she really likes something called ‘enrichment.’ That means we could work out interesting ways for her to find and get her food.”
Learning about the ways Kelly’s trunk works is interesting and important work, especially because no other researchers have found out about such things, Schulz says. It could also help engineers understand how to build more useful robots to help doctors do surgery (外科手术). And with some elephant populations in Asia and Africa quickly falling, Schulz sees the work as a way to help save these animals.“We’re using science to encourage people to learn more about elephants,” Schulz says.“And the more animals are studied , the more likely they are to be protected.”
8. What has the present study found out about elephant trunks?
A. The reasons for their big size. B. The ways in which they work.
C. The differences in their shape. D. The changes in them over the years.
9. What do we know about Schulz’s study on elephant trunks?
A. It is carried out by Zoo Atlanta in Georgia. B. It is the first in the field to be finished.
C. It tries a new way to study them. D. It needs to be worked on further.
10. Why was Kely chosen for the study?
A. She liked trying new things. B. She had a special sense of food.
C. She had been in a similar study before. D. She looked cleverer than other elephants.
11. What does the last paragraph center on?
A. The necessity of protecting elephants.
B. The importance of studying elephant trunks.
C. The modern way of treating injured elephants.
D. The difficulty of learning about elephant trunks.
D
During the last twenty years there has been increasing worry about the quality of the environment. Along with air and water pollutants, noise pollution has been recognised as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more obvious.
Noise is described as “unwanted sound”. Causes of noise pollution include traffic, rock bands, barking dogs, television, and noise from neighbours, voices, alarms, and boats. Studies show that over forty per cent of Americans are troubled at home or lose sleep because of noise pollution.
Noise has bad effects on people and the environment. Noise causes hearing loss, interferes(干扰)with human activities at home and work, and is in various ways dangerous to people’s health.
When we think, talk, listen to music, or sleep, we need quiet. Even low levels of noise can be annoying. Sudden increases in volume(音量)can make sounds annoying. The quieter the background is, the more penetrating a noise can be.
Noise can also make instructions or warning unclear, resulting in accidents. Louder noise can cause more problems. Continued stress caused by living in noisy conditions can lead to high blood pressure, which is the main cause of some illnesses.
Listening to loud sounds at levels above eighty-five decibels(分贝)can lead to hearing loss. Noise can cause the heart rate to quicken, breathing to increase, and the digestive system(消化系统)to slow down.
Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can control the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, responsible individuals will never make noise pollution wherever they are.
12. What does the underlined word “penetrating” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. High and exciting. B. Deep and relaxing.
C. Loud and annoying. D. Clear and comfortable.
13. Which of the following can be a result of noise pollution?
A. Fast breathing. B. Slow heart rate.
C. Low blood pressure. D. Fast digestive system.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. A responsible government cares for the environment.
B. Joint actions are needed to control noise pollution.
C. People making noise pollution should be punished.
D. Detailed plans help create a noise-free environment.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Facts about noise pollution. B. Measurement of noise levels.
C. Bad effects of noise pollution. D. Community reactions to noise.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Apart from regular(常规的)study, there are a few other interesting ways to learn English.
Here is a list of four creative and easy ways.
Learning from Music
____16____ But few of us look at the lyrics(歌词), which is where we lose the golden opportunity to improve our English. Looking at the lyrics and learning to sing the whole song will not only help in understanding and enjoying the song much better than before, but will also educate you unknowingly about the kind of usages that were used to create meaning and about meanings of new words.
Learning from News
Unlike TV shows and movies, the news is a bit more informative. ____17____ Also, watching the news will help you to learn the formal way of communicating.
Conversation in English
____18____ So while learning English in various ways, you also need to start speaking it with people. You can practise with your friends or teachers as they will also tell you the mistakes you’ve made then and there, helping you to improve. ____19____ It might feel odd at first, but with time you will be able to find your own mistakes and correct them accordingly.
Be Curious
____20____ If you are not excited about learning the language and do not clear you come across a phrase or word that you are unfamiliar with, do not wait for the last moment to solve your doubts.
A. This way you will start learning new words every day.
B. There are many English songs that many of us just love to listen to.
C. Along with English, it helps you know what is happening in the world.
D. If you want to improve in a rapid way then asking a lot of questions is the key.
E. Another simple step is to stand in front of the mirror and speak in English.
F. Learning from the mistakes is important as it will help you not repeat them again.
G. Learning is the most basic part of anything, but applying it practically makes one smart.

任务型阅读
It was New Year’s Day, the first day of the year. Lucky for me, it was a day off, so I was thinking about getting my bank work out of the way. The bank person, an elderly gentleman with a white beard, was, as usual, curt (简短失礼的,简略的) to my polite “Happy New Year.” He nodded and I sat in front of him.
Minutes passed but nothing happened.
Then very uncertain and embarrassed, I put my form and booklet (小册子) in front of him. He was busy filling up entries in his register (登记簿). After a few minutes he took my form and from his cabinet he took out a very thick file from which he started filling in my details. I sat there wondering why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms and registers.
After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. The moment I uttered the words, I felt as if a bombshell had fallen on him. He shouted, “Nothing is done, it will take time!”
Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done.

Hello and welcome to English with Lucy. Today we have another topic:“Four common British expressions.” Now, before we get started, make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here. You can subscribe to my YouTube. You can also like me on Facebook. And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well.
Four Common British Expressions:
“A piece of cake.”
And this is very similar to “Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy,” which we've discussed in a former video. And basically, it means very easy. So I might come out of an easy exam saving, “That exam was a piece of cake. ”
“Break a leg!”
It actually looks really rather cruel, but I promise you it's positive. And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!”
“It cost an arm and a leg.”
And this basically means something was really expensive. If I say, “My bag cost an arm and a leg,” I mean it cost a lot of money.
“To call it a day.”
And this means “to end a task”. So, for example, “I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll call it a day. ”That means “I think I'll stop here. Let's finish.”
Thank you so much for watching this program of “Four Common British Expressions.” I hope you like it and I hope you've learned something.
1. How can Chinese listeners connect with Lucy?
A. With Wechat B. Through Weibo C. On Facebook D. By YouTube.
2. When John went to an English Speech Competition, you should say “_________” to him.
A. Break a leg! B. It cost an arm and a leg.
C. To call it a day D. A piece of cake.
3. What does he/she mean when the teacher says “Let's call it a day.” ?
A. He/She will stop that day B. He/She feels tired
C. Class is over. D. It is daytime.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。广播介绍了“四个常见的英式表达”。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well”(对于我的中国粉丝们,我也有自己的Weibo账号。)可知,中国听众可以通过Weibo和Lucy联系。故选B项。
【2题详解】

When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me Chinese folk(民间的)stories before bedtime. My mother is an immigrant (移民)from China. She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left. Even though I hadn’t ever experienced that culture at first hand, she wanted me to remember it.
Of all her stories, my favourites were about Sun Wukong, the monkey king who had many superpowers. Finally, though, I moved on to other kinds of heroes. When I was in the fifth grade, I bought my first American comic book(漫画书). Afterwards Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America took the place of Monkey King in my heart.
I became crazy about comic books. I loved them so much that I went on to work towards a career in comics. Today I am a professional graphic novelist(图画小说家). My best-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t a direct mixture of my mother’s stories.
Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions wholeheartedly. I needed him to emote on my pages.
For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-old Chinese classic(经典作品)that first told the monkey king’s story. As I read it, I realised that American superheroes hadn’t taken the place of Sun Wukong in my heart after all. Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America were simply Western expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king.
The monkey king’s story has lasted for centuries and travelled across cultures. Journey to the West is the best example of timeless.
My mother now has Alzheimer’s. She’s forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong.
4. What did the author’s mother expect him to do?
A. Earn a living by writing. B. Keep their Chinese culture.
C. Remember stories she told him. D. Experience Chinese culture first hand.
5. What can be learnt about the book American Born Chinese?
A. It encourages people to try their luck abroad.
B. It is a best-seller among American born Chinese.
C. It is partly inspired by the story of Sun Wukong.
D. It reflects the growing pains of American children.
6. Why did the author start to read Journey to the West?
A. To study it for the creation of his own works.
B. To compare Western classics with Chinese ones.
C. To learn the meaning of life in Journey to the West.
D. To connect American superheroes with Sun Wukong.

If you’ve ever watched an elephant eat and drink with its trunk (象鼻), you may think it’s simple. A new study by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology shows that elephant trunks are pretty cool but also complicated (复杂的). In fact, this research is among the small amount of new scientific information on elephants found in more than 100 years. And the research shows that elephants use several skills to move things.
When elephants pick up foods, they use different movements, Schulz, the study’s lead researcher, says. They can also clean up objects. They can use the ends of their trunks to gently pick small objects. And they can use suction (抽吸) to pick up foods of different sizes. “They can get a tortilla (玉米饼) without ever breaking it,” says Schulz. When elephants drink, they enlarge the inside of their trunk to store water before they drink it. And elephants may have many more skills up their trunks. Schulz just hasn’t worked them all out yet and needs to do more study into it.
To study elephant trunks, Schulz spent a lot of time working with an elephant named Kelly at Zoo Atlanta in Georgia. He chose her over two other elephants there because “she is amazing,” Schulz says.“She likes exploring with her trunk, and she really likes something called ‘enrichment.’ That means we could work out interesting ways for her to find and get her food.”
Learning about the ways Kelly’s trunk works is interesting and important work, especially because no other researchers have found out about such things, Schulz says. It could also help engineers understand how to build more useful robots to help doctors do surgery (外科手术). And with some elephant populations in Asia and Africa quickly falling, Schulz sees the work as a way to help save these animals.“We’re using science to encourage people to learn more about elephants,” Schulz says.“And the more animals are studied , the more likely they are to be protected.”
8. What has the present study found out about elephant trunks?
A. The reasons for their big size. B. The ways in which they work.
C. The differences in their shape. D. The changes in them over the years.
9. What do we know about Schulz’s study on elephant trunks?
A. It is carried out by Zoo Atlanta in Georgia. B. It is the first in the field to be finished.
C. It tries a new way to study them. D. It needs to be worked on further.
10. Why was Kely chosen for the study?
A. She liked trying new things. B. She had a special sense of food.
C. She had been in a similar study before. D. She looked cleverer than other elephants.
11. What does the last paragraph center on?
A. The necessity of protecting elephants.
B. The importance of studying elephant trunks.
C. The modern way of treating injured elephants.
D. The difficulty of learning about elephant trunks.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology shows that elephant trunks are pretty cool but also complicated(乔治亚理工学院的研究人员进行的一项新研究表明,象鼻很酷,但也很复杂)”可知,新研究表明象鼻很酷但也很复杂。以及下文“And the research shows that elephants use several skills to move things.(研究表明大象使用多种技能移动物体)”可知目前的研究发现了象鼻的工作方式。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“And elephants may have many more skills up their trunks. Schulz just hasn’t worked them all out yet and needs to do more study into it.(大象可能还有更多的技能,舒尔茨只是还没有完全弄清楚,还需要做更多的研究)” 可知,还需要进一步研究,故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“He chose her over two other elephants there because “she is amazing,” Schulz says.“She likes exploring with her trunk, and she really likes something called ‘enrichment.’ That means we could work out interesting ways for her to find and get her food.”(舒尔茨说,他之所以选择她不是另外两只大象,是因为“她太棒了”。“她喜欢用她的象鼻探索,她真的喜欢一种叫做‘丰富’的东西。这意味着我们可以为她想出有趣的方法来寻找和获取食物。”)”可推知,Kely被选作为研究对象是因为她喜欢尝试新事物,故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“Learning about the ways Kelly’s trunk works is interesting and important work, especially because no other researchers have found out about such things, Schulz says. It could also help engineers understand how to build more useful robots to help doctors do surgery (外科手术). (舒尔茨说,了解凯利象鼻的工作方式是一项有趣而重要的工作,特别是因为没有其他研究人员发现这种情况。它还可以帮助工程师了解如何制造更有用的机器人来帮助医生做手术)”以及最后一句“And the more animals are studied , the more likely they are to be protected.(它们被研究的更多,就更有可能受到保护)”可知,这一段围绕着象鼻研究的重要性展开,故选B。

During the last twenty years there has been increasing worry about the quality of the environment. Along with air and water pollutants, noise pollution has been recognised as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more obvious.
Noise is described as “unwanted sound”. Causes of noise pollution include traffic, rock bands, barking dogs, television, and noise from neighbours, voices, alarms, and boats. Studies show that over forty per cent of Americans are troubled at home or lose sleep because of noise pollution.
Noise has bad effects on people and the environment. Noise causes hearing loss, interferes(干扰)with human activities at home and work, and is in various ways dangerous to people’s health.
When we think, talk, listen to music, or sleep, we need quiet. Even low levels of noise can be annoying. Sudden increases in volume(音量)can make sounds annoying. The quieter the background is, the more penetrating a noise can be.
Noise can also make instructions or warning unclear, resulting in accidents. Louder noise can cause more problems. Continued stress caused by living in noisy conditions can lead to high blood pressure, which is the main cause of some illnesses.
Listening to loud sounds at levels above eighty-five decibels(分贝)can lead to hearing loss. Noise can cause the heart rate to quicken, breathing to increase, and the digestive system(消化系统)to slow down.
Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can control the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, responsible individuals will never make noise pollution wherever they are.
12. What does the underlined word “penetrating” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. High and exciting. B. Deep and relaxing.
C. Loud and annoying. D. Clear and comfortable.
13. Which of the following can be a result of noise pollution?
A. Fast breathing. B. Slow heart rate.
C. Low blood pressure. D. Fast digestive system.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. A responsible government cares for the environment.
B. Joint actions are needed to control noise pollution.
C. People making noise pollution should be punished.
D. Detailed plans help create a noise-free environment.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Facts about noise pollution. B. Measurement of noise levels.
C. Bad effects of noise pollution. D. Community reactions to noise.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C

词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“When we think, talk, listen to music, or sleep, we need quiet. Even low levels of noise can be annoying. Sudden increases in volume(音量)can make sounds annoying.(当我们思考、交谈、听音乐或睡觉时,我们需要安静。即使是低水平的噪音也会令人烦恼。音量的突然增加会使声音变得令人厌烦。)”可知,背景安静的时候,噪音会显得很令人烦恼。由此可知,划线词penetrating为“令人厌烦的”之意。选项A“High and exciting (高昂且令人兴奋的)”;选项B“Deep and relaxing (深沉且令人放松的)”;选项C“Loud and annoying (响亮且令人厌烦的)”;选项D“Clear and comfortable (清晰且舒适的)”。故选C。
【13题详解】

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can control the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, responsible individuals will never make noise pollution wherever they are.(地方政府有责任对抗噪音污染。例如,地方政府可以控制火车穿越社区的速度。另一方面,负责任的个人无论身在何处都不会制造噪音污染。)”可知,这段话既提到了地方政府对抗噪音污染的责任,也提到了个人对抗噪音污染的责任,说明对抗噪音污染需要政府和个人的共同努力,即需要联合行动。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“During the last twenty years there has been increasing worry about the quality of the environment. Along with air and water pollutants, noise pollution has been recognised as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more obvious.(过去二十年里,人们对环境质量的担忧日益加剧。除了空气和水污染之外,噪音污染也被认定为一种严重的污染源。随着噪音水平的上升,噪音的影响也变得越来越明显。)”可知,该段引出噪音污染的话题,并指出噪音污染的影响越来越明显。接着,文章第二至六段详细描述了噪音污染的来源、对人类和环境的不良影响,以及噪音污染可能导致的健康问题。综合全文内容来看,文章主要讲述了噪音污染的坏影响。故选C。

Conversation in English

You can practise with your friends or teachers as they will also tell you the mistakes you’ve made then and there, helping you to improve. ____19____ It might feel odd at first, but with time you will be able to find your own mistakes and correct them accordingly.
Be Curious
____20____ If you are not excited about learning the language and do not clear you come across a phrase or word that you are unfamiliar with, do not wait for the last moment to solve your doubts.
A. This way you will start learning new words every day.

C. Along with English, it helps you know what is happening in the world.
D. If you want to improve in a rapid way then asking a lot of questions is the key.

由下文“So while learning English in various ways, you also need to start speaking it with people. (因此,在以各种方式学习英语的同时,你也需要开始与人交谈。)”可知,这里主要讲通过实际运用来练习英语,而G项Learning is the most basic part of anything, but applying it practically makes one smart.(学习是任何事情最基本的部分,但实际应用它会让人变得聪明。)符合语境,其中applying it practically 与下文start speaking it with people对应,有启下作用。故选G项。

【37题详解】

第四部分 任务型阅读 (共两节,满分20分)
任务型阅读
It was New Year’s Day, the first day of the year. Lucky for me, it was a day off, so I was thinking about getting my bank work out of the way. The bank person, an elderly gentleman with a white beard, was, as usual, curt (简短失礼的,简略的) to my polite “Happy New Year.” He nodded and I sat in front of him.
Minutes passed but nothing happened.
Then very uncertain and embarrassed, I put my form and booklet (小册子) in front of him. He was busy filling up entries in his register (登记簿). After a few minutes he took my form and from his cabinet he took out a very thick file from which he started filling in my details. I sat there wondering why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms and registers.
After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. The moment I uttered the words, I felt as if a bombshell had fallen on him. He shouted, “Nothing is done, it will take time!”
Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一次在新年第一天去银行处理事务,由于效率低,作者不由发了火,然而当作者看到工作人员冷掉的茶时,他又释然了。
【46题详解】
①.考查非谓语动词。根据文章第一段“Lucky for me, it was a day off, so I was thinking about getting my bank work out of the way.(幸运的是,那天是休息日,所以我想把银行的工作做完。)”可知,作者想在新年第一天去银行处理一下事务。根据空前的“get my bank work”可知,空处为非谓语动词担当宾语补足语,指的是处理事务,因此选择单词“do”;和宾语“my bank work”之间存在被动关系,用过去分词形式。故填done。
②.考查副词。根据第一段“The bank person, an elderly gentleman with a white beard, was, as usual, curt (简短失礼的,简略的) to my polite “Happy New Year.”(银行的工作人员是一位留着白胡子的老先生,他像往常一样,对我礼貌的“新年快乐”很敷衍。)”可知,作者的打招呼是礼貌的。分析句子成分可知,空处为副词修饰动词“said”,故选择单词polite,用副词形式。故填politely。
③.考查形容词。根据第一段“It was New Year’s Day, the first day of the year. Lucky for me, it was a day off, so I was thinking about getting my bank work out of the way.( 这是新年,一年的第一天。幸运的是,那天是休息日,所以我想把银行的工作做完。)”可知,当作者来到银行时,心情很好,对一切都充满希望。所以选择单词hope,再根据空前的felt可知,空处为形容词,担当表语。故填hopeful。
④.考查谓语动词。根据第二段“Minutes passed but nothing happened.(几分钟过去了,但什么也没发生。)”可知,空处指的是“几分钟过去了”。分析句子成分可知,空处为短语“go by”,意为“时间的流逝”;根据上下文可知,空处为一般过去时。故填问题。
⑤.考查形容词。根据第三段“Then very uncertain and embarrassed, I put my form and booklet (小册子) in front of him.(然后非常不确定和尴尬,我把我的表格和小册子放在他面前。)”可知,空处指的是“不确定”,所以选择单词“sure”,加否定前缀“un”,构成单词“unsure”,意为不确定。故填unsure。
⑥.考查谓语动词。根据第四段“The moment I uttered the words, I felt as if a bombshell had fallen on him.(我说出这句话的那一刻,我觉得好像一颗重磅炸弹落在了他身上。)”可知,空处指的是“炸弹落在了他身上”,故选择单词“fall”,用过去完成时。故填had fallen。
⑦.考查形容词。根据第四段“After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done.(等了几分钟后,我表现出了各种不耐烦的迹象,我问他我的工作完成了没有。)”可知,作者此时已经有点不耐烦。所以选择单词patient,加否定前缀“im”,构成单词“impatient”,意为“不耐烦”。故填impatient。
⑧.考查非谓语动词。根据第五段“Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched.(就在这时,我看见了他早上喝的那杯茶,它已经在那儿放了十分钟了,一动也没动。)”可知,空处为非谓语动词担当状语,表示“没有动”。所以选择单词“touch”,加否定前缀“un”,和“his morning cup of tea”之间存在被动关系,用过去分词形式。故填untouched。
⑨.考查形容词。根据第五段“Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done.(突然间,我明白了这个在这个柜台工作了不知多少年的人,面对像我这样总是急着把工作做完的顾客时的心情。)”可知,作者突然就理解了这个工作人员,认为自己应该体贴他的心情。空处为形容词担当表语,选择单词think,用形容词形式。故填thoughtful。
⑩.考查谓语动词。根据第五段“Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done.(突然间,我明白了这个在这个柜台工作了不知多少年的人,面对像我这样总是急着把工作做完的顾客时的心情。)”可知,作者理解了工作人员,所以认为自己不应该催促他。选择单词“push”,情态动词之后用动词原形。故填push。
【47题详解】
考查推理判断。根据文章第四段“After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. The moment I uttered the words, I felt as if a bombshell had fallen on him. He shouted, “Nothing is done, it will take time!”(等了几分钟后,我表现出了各种不耐烦的迹象,我问他我的工作完成了没有。我说出这句话的那一刻,我觉得好像一颗重磅炸弹落在了他身上。他喊道:“什么也做不了,这需要时间!”
)”可知,当遇到作者这样的人来办理业务的时候,他一定觉得很焦虑或者紧张,又来了一个人,没有耐心,只会督促他先办理他的业务。故答案为He must be feeling so worried/upset/anxious/nervous that “here comes another person who will push me for doing his work first.”
【48题详解】
考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段“Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done.(就在这时,我看见了他早上喝的那杯茶,它已经在那儿放了十分钟了,一动也没动。他干活的时候,茶几乎都凉了。突然间,我明白了这个在这个柜台工作了不知多少年的人,面对像我这样总是急着把工作做完的顾客时的心情。)”可知,当作者看到桌子上工作人员的茶都冷了的时候,作者突然就理解了工作人员的心情。作者有可能会让工作人员先喝茶。而工作人员也会解释自己为什么会先处理自己手头的事。故答案为I might say to him, “Sir, you please have your tea; I am not in a hurry.” He might look up at me for the first time, give me a rare smile and say, “Thanks, but it is an everyday affair with me; you are not in a hurry but somebody else will come who will be in a hurry.” and then continue his work at hand.
49题详解】
考查推理判断。根据文章内容可知,作者本来看到工作人员只忙着手头的工作,却不帮自己处理业务,就开始急躁。但是,当作者看到工作人员的茶都冷了没空喝的时候,作者又理解了工作人员。所以,从这件事,我们可以知道,当事情发生时,我们应该多沟通,以了解对方,不要不问青红皂白就指责对方。故答案为I would learn to be more communicative, understanding / thoughtful / empathetic and friendly with people who help me with my work, putting myself in others’ shoes and be thankful that they are there for me, not taking their work for my convenience for granted.
