This phrase has become such a common response (反应) that it has taken on a lot of meanings. Saying “Sorry” means to apologize (道歉). This is simple and easy to understand. We learn it both as a native speaker and as a student of foreign languages. But in Britain, it takes on another meaning. It is a cultural expression. Imagine this: a man walks down the street, looking down at his phone. A woman is walking in the opposite direction, towards the man. She sees him, but she can’t get out of the way in time. The man bumps (碰撞) into the woman. Who should say sorry? Naturally, the man should say sorry, because it was he who wasn’t looking where he was going. Yet in Britain, it is common for both to apologize. It is known that British people, like most people, do not enjoy conflict (冲突). So to quickly calm the situation, British people will apologize to each other. Other times it may sound funny to hear “sorry”. Some of my friends say it at restaurants, as they ask the waiter: “ Sorry, but can I order another drink?” It is not to apologize, but just to express that we need the waiter. In Britain, sorry doesn’t always mean exactly what you think. 33. According to the passage, “saying sorry” is a cultural expression in ________. A. the USA B. the UK C. the WWF D. the UN 34. The example in the third paragraph is used to ________. A. describe a situation that people should avoid B. describe how “sorry” has another meaning in Britain C. explain why people should say sorry to each other D. show how polite British people are 35. The restaurant example shows that “sorry” can be used to ________. A. apologize B. calm a situation down C. explain what you’re thinking about D. ask a waiter to bring something 36. What might be a good title for this passage? A. “I’m Sorry” Is More Than just an Apology B. Traditional British Manners C. How to Best Catch Others’ Attention D. Finding a Way out of a Difficult Situation 【答案】33. B 34. B 35. D 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了在英国说“对不起”的不同含义。它不仅仅是道歉的意思，有时还表示我们需要帮助的意思。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than ‘I’m sorry’.”可知，在英国的街头，每天很少有比“对不起”更频繁地说的话了。因此说“对不起”是英国的一种文化表达。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But in Britain, it takes on another meaning. It is a cultural expression. Imagine this:…”可知，第三自然段的例子是被用来描述“对不起”在英国有另一种含义的。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Some of my friends say it at restaurants, as they ask the waiter: ‘Sorry, but can I order another drink?’ It is not to apologize, but just to express that we need the waiter.”可知，我的一些朋友在餐馆对服务员时说：“对不起，我可以再点一杯吗？”，这里“对不起”不是道歉，只是为了表达我们需要服务员。故选D。 【36题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文可知，本文主要介绍了在英国说“对不起”的不同含义。它不仅仅是道歉的意思，有时还表示我们需要帮助的意思。选项A“‘对不起’不仅仅是道歉”可作为文章最佳标题。故选A。 (D) Beijing Opera is one of the most important opera styles in China. It is an art on the stage. It has about 200 years’ history. It is not only a treasure of the Chinese nation but also a cultural symbol of China. Similar to the western operas, the Beijing Opera is a combination of singing, dancing, martial arts, music and literature, so it is also called the “Oriental (东方的) Opera” by western people. Beijing Opera uses special imagery in creating the characters. All roles are divided according to sex, personality, age, profession and social status. Hangdang is the general term for role types in Beijing Opera. There are four types of roles in Beijing Opera today. They are sheng, dan, jing and chou. The sheng is the male protagonist, the dan the female protagonist, the jing (painted face) a male supporting role with different characteristics, and chou (clown) a comic or negative figure. Each kind of role has their own face-painting and dressing to indicate their identities. The opera’s performance requires not only the mellow voice but also the proficiency of martial actions. A successful opera actor must suffer from the tough practising period. In the old time, the children of poor families were sent to the opera group in order to earn a living. While now, the real opera artists are well respected by opera lovers. Mei Lanfang, one of the most remarkable performing artists in Beijing Opera, was born in Beijing into a poor family. His life was bitter and he had no opportunity to go to school, so he went to the troupe (剧团) when he was 8 years old to learn the Beijing Opera. Mr Mei was on the stage when he was 11 years old to perform the plays of the Beijing Opera. He has been an opera actor for more than 50 years, performing hundreds of traditional plays and over 30 modern plays. He portrayed many bright and lifelike female figures on the stage and became the model in Chinese Beijing Opera and even within the entire artistic circle. 37. Why is Beijing Opera called the “Oriental Opera” by western people? A. Because western people like it very much. B. Because Beijing Opera is the same as the western opera. C. Because Beijing Opera is similar to the western opera. D. Because Beijing Opera is different from the western opera. 38. In the old time, who would be sent to learn Beijing Opera? A. Kids from the poor family. B. Kids from the rich family. C. Kids who were interested in it. D. Kids who were good at martial arts. 39. Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Beijing Opera is treasure of our nation and also a cultural symbol of China. B. Different roles use different dressing and face-painting to show identities. C. The performance of Beijing Opera needs both good voice and martial arts. D. The opera artists are not well-respected by opera lovers nowadays. 40. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The requirements of performing Beijing Opera. B. Different characters in Beijing Opera. C. A famous opera artist—Mei Lanfang. D. The introduction of Beijing Opera. 【答案】37. C 38. A 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了京剧的历史、角色分类、表演要求以及著名京剧艺术家梅兰芳的生平。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第1段“Similar to the western operas, the Beijing Opera is a combination of singing, dancing, martial arts, music and literature, so it is also called the ‘Oriental Opera’ by western people.”可知，京剧与西方歌剧相似，因此被称为“东方歌剧”。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第3段“In the old time, the children of poor families were sent to the opera group in order to earn a living.”可知，过去穷人家的孩子会被送到剧团学习京剧以谋生。故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第3段“While now, the real opera artists are well respected by opera lovers.”可知，如今的京剧艺术家受到京剧爱好者的尊重，因此选项D“如今的京剧艺术家不受京剧爱好者的尊重”与原文不符。故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。 文章最后一段主要介绍了著名京剧艺术家梅兰芳的生平及其对京剧的贡献。故选C。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文意思，选出可以填入空格的选项。 Lanterns（灯笼）have been part of Chinese culture for centuries and played an important part in many celebrations.

Do you want to make a difference to the lives of children? Join us now and become a volunteer（志愿者）teacher of English! We are a charity and we help children in poor areas in India. We need volunteers to join us and teach English to these children, and help make their lives better. Volunteer teachers will work with children aged 6 to15 and teach classes up to 30 children. We welcome volunteers with or without teaching experience. We will organize（组织）a two-week training before you go to India. This is a special chance to gain important life experience. You will meet other young people from all over the world, and learn more about Indian culture. Most importantly, you will make a difference to a community（团体）in need.

(C) Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than “I’m sorry”. This phrase has become such a common response (反应) that it has taken on a lot of meanings. Saying “Sorry” means to apologize (道歉). This is simple and easy to understand. We learn it both as a native speaker and as a student of foreign languages. But in Britain, it takes on another meaning. It is a cultural expression. Imagine this: a man walks down the street, looking down at his phone. A woman is walking in the opposite direction, towards the man. She sees him, but she can’t get out of the way in time. The man bumps (碰撞) into the woman. Who should say sorry? Naturally, the man should say sorry, because it was he who wasn’t looking where he was going. Yet in Britain, it is common for both to apologize. It is known that British people, like most people, do not enjoy conflict (冲突). So to quickly calm the situation, British people will apologize to each other. Other times it may sound funny to hear “sorry”. Some of my friends say it at restaurants, as they ask the waiter: “ Sorry, but can I order another drink?” It is not to apologize, but just to express that we need the waiter. In Britain, sorry doesn’t always mean exactly what you think. 33. According to the passage, “saying sorry” is a cultural expression in ________. A. the USA B. the UK C. the WWF D. the UN 34. The example in the third paragraph is used to ________. A. describe a situation that people should avoid B. describe how “sorry” has another meaning in Britain C. explain why people should say sorry to each other D. show how polite British people are 35. The restaurant example shows that “sorry” can be used to ________. A. apologize B. calm a situation down C. explain what you’re thinking about D. ask a waiter to bring something 36. What might be a good title for this passage? A. “I’m Sorry” Is More Than just an Apology B. Traditional British Manners C. How to Best Catch Others’ Attention D. Finding a Way out of a Difficult Situation (D) Beijing Opera is one of the most important opera styles in China. It is an art on the stage. It has about 200 years’ history. It is not only a treasure of the Chinese nation but also a cultural symbol of China. Similar to the western operas, the Beijing Opera is a combination of singing, dancing, martial arts, music and literature, so it is also called the “Oriental (东方的) Opera” by western people. Beijing Opera uses special imagery in creating the characters. All roles are divided according to sex, personality, age, profession and social status. Hangdang is the general term for role types in Beijing Opera. There are four types of roles in Beijing Opera today. They are sheng, dan, jing and chou. The sheng is the male protagonist, the dan the female protagonist, the jing (painted face) a male supporting role with different characteristics, and chou (clown) a comic or negative figure. Each kind of role has their own face-painting and dressing to indicate their identities. The opera’s performance requires not only the mellow voice but also the proficiency of martial actions. A successful opera actor must suffer from the tough practising period. In the old time, the children of poor families were sent to the opera group in order to earn a living. While now, the real opera artists are well respected by opera lovers. Mei Lanfang, one of the most remarkable performing artists in Beijing Opera, was born in Beijing into a poor family. His life was bitter and he had no opportunity to go to school, so he went to the troupe (剧团) when he was 8 years old to learn the Beijing Opera. Mr Mei was on the stage when he was 11 years old to perform the plays of the Beijing Opera. He has been an opera actor for more than 50 years, performing hundreds of traditional plays and over 30 modern plays. He portrayed many bright and lifelike female figures on the stage and became the model in Chinese Beijing Opera and even within the entire artistic circle. 37. Why is Beijing Opera called the “Oriental Opera” by western people? A. Because western people like it very much. B. Because Beijing Opera is the same as the western opera. C. Because Beijing Opera is similar to the western opera. D. Because Beijing Opera is different from the western opera. 38. In the old time, who would be sent to learn Beijing Opera? A. Kids from the poor family. B. Kids from the rich family. C. Kids who were interested in it. D. Kids who were good at martial arts. 39. Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Beijing Opera is treasure of our nation and also a cultural symbol of China. B. Different roles use different dressing and face-painting to show identities. C. The performance of Beijing Opera needs both good voice and martial arts. D. The opera artists are not well-respected by opera lovers nowadays. 40. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The requirements of performing Beijing Opera. B. Different characters in Beijing Opera. C. A famous opera artist—Mei Lanfang. D. The introduction of Beijing Opera. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文意思，选出可以填入空格的选项。 Lanterns（灯笼）have been part of Chinese culture for centuries and played an important part in many celebrations.
