考点二:反意疑问句
1.1反意疑问句的特点
反意疑问句是由两部分构成的:前一部分是对事物的陈述,后一部分是简短的提问。即"陈述句 + 附加疑问句"。反意疑问句前后两部分必须遵循的原则是"三同一反",即:人称相同,动词相同,时态相同,前肯后否,前否后肯。
1.2反意疑问句的答语
对反意疑问句的回答,不管问题的提法如何,若事实是肯定的,就用yes回答;若事实是否定的,就用no回答。注意在"前否后肯"的反意疑问句的答语中,yes意为"不",no意为"是"。
—He isn’t going to the meeting, is he? 他不去参加会议,是吗?
—Yes, he is. 不,他要去。/ No, he isn’t. 对,他不去。
1.3常考的反意疑问句
初中阶段常考的反意疑问句有以下几种:
(1)There be句型构成反意疑问句时,附加疑问句的主语应用there。
(2)如果陈述句中含有表示否定意义的词,如never,hardly,few,little等,在构成反意疑问句时,附加疑问句部分需用肯定式。
(3)祈使句之后的附加疑问句
①一般祈使句之后的附加疑问部分常用"will you? "或"won’t you? "。
(4)主从复合句构成反意疑问句时,附加疑问句部分通常与主句在主谓上保持一致;如果主从复合句为"I (don’t) think/believe + 宾语从句",附加疑问部分应与宾语从句在主谓上保持一致。
I think Tom runs fastest of all, doesn’t he? 我认为在所有人中汤姆跑得最快,对吗?

考点三:阅读回答问题
1.解题技巧
1.1. 认真审题, 明确题目要求。
首先阅读题目, 明确题目中的关键词, 在阅读文章前对所要回答的问题有所了解。
1.2. 快速浏览文章, 规范答题。
回答问题型任务型阅读需要利用题干中关键词, 寻找文章中对应的关键词, 在对应词周围寻找答案或者直接在文章中搜索答案。带着审题时对文章大意的了解以及问题快速浏览文章, 以最快的速度在文章相对应的位置寻找相关信息。
1.3. 答题形式符合提问形式。
不同的提问方式需要不同形式的回答, 在答案简洁的基础上还要注意结构的完整。一般疑问句要用yes或no作答;特殊疑问句要根据特殊疑问词具体回答。
1.4. 仔细检查, 确保答案。
完成所有答题后, 需要再次速读一遍文章, 核对答案, 确保答案的正确性。需要注意, 有些题目答案可以在原文中直接找出;有些需要在原文的基础上, 结合题目要求进行时态、语态、人称的转换;有些需要进行归纳总结, 把正确答案重新组织语言表达出来。
2.满分技巧
2.1.快速通读课文,掌握文章大意。
浏览完题目后,带着问题快速通读全文,对文章的大意有一个初步的了解,同时找到文章中的关键句,并确定第二遍细读的重点部分,对于不影响理解和做题的部分可以一带而过,更不必在个别词上花时间。
2.2. 提取有效信息,根据题目要求进行改写。
在速度短文后,再回头看题后的问题。这时,能一锤定音的答案就先写好,不能马上确定的答案,根据第一遍速读时的印象到原文中找相关的信息,再进行推敲。尽管有相当的一部分题在原文中能找到答案,不需要推敲,但是大多数还是需要大家进行改写和重组的。
2.3. 仔细推敲,认真复查
做完题目后,要立足整体,将完成后的句子再通读一遍,看看所改写的句子是否流畅,语句是否通顺。同时还要照顾原文,看看答案是否与原文意义相符,时态一致。确保答案正确,大小写无误,语法正确,逻辑合理。
为了弥补阅读理解客观题(判断是非题与单项选择题)一统天下、考生容易猜测的局面,近年来各地中考英语阅读理解部分都引入了属于主观题性质的任务型阅读,要求考生或填写表格(一般限定词数),或回答问题。这类试题的难度最大,考生如果不能真正读懂并理解文章,就无法下笔。 值得一提的是,近年来任务型阅读的主观题在各地中考英语试题中所占的比例越来越大,有的地方试题甚至采用两篇,既要求考生根据文章填写表格,又要求考生在阅读文章后回答问题,但是,综观任何一组中考英语阅读理解试题,试题的难易度分布非常有序。分析近3年中考英语真题可知,回答问题型阅读的话题涉及故事类、介绍类、观点建议类、饮食与健康类、科普知识类、文化风俗类及校园生活类。

John Hunter, a primary school teacher, created the World Peace Game as a way for his students to think about big world problems.
The World Peace Game is played on a cube of four layers. In the game, there are four countries with 50 interconnected problems to solve. The students play a role in developing solutions to the problems of their assigned country. The goal of the game is to save each country from dangerous conditions. When all 50 problems are solved, the game is over, which means the world is in peace.
You might think that the task of solving real-world problems would be daunting (令人畏惧的) to world leaders, let alone fourth graders. Julianne Swope, one of Hunter’s students, agrees. “Sometimes the World Peace Game feels like, you know, the weight of the world on your shoulders: This is firing over there and this is big earthquake,” she says. “But I say to myself, I need to fix this. The game shows that young children have the desire to make the world a better, more peaceful place.”
The game encourages students to work together and communicate with one another. Students think about questions that have no clear answers, which often leads to long discussions. They consider deep questions in the process and think about the possible results of their decisions. They try to develop creative solutions that lead to a satisfactory decision.
It is no surprise that both Hunter and the World Peace Game are becoming well known. Hunter now spends part of his time teaching the World Peace Game to other teachers. Schools in other countries have started their own versions of the game as well.
Hunter hopes that by playing for peace, students learn “how to make people not experience so much pain”. He adds, “I think I now hope that game helps people be kinder.” One of his former students Irenc Newman, is now studying peace in her university. She believes the world will be more peaceful if young people are to solve its problems.
1.How many layers does the game cube have?
2.What is the main goal of the World Peace Game?
3.What does Julianne Swope, one of Hunter’s students compare the game to?
4.What does the game encourage students to do?
5.What does Hunter do after the game becomes popular?
6.If you have a chance to add the 51st problem to the game, what problem would you include? Why?
Ne Zha: Birth of the Demon Child is extremely popular both in China and around the world. This animated movie brings traditional Chinese stories to life in a new way. It’s cool fight scenes, funny plots and vivid characters make people of all ages love it. Jiaozi, the director of the movie, was interviewed by a local TV journalist after the movie became a huge hit.
(H= host, J= Jiaozi)
H: What inspired you to create Ne Zha?
J: I loved Ne Zha stories when I was young. This time, I wanted to show a new side of Ne Zha. He doesn't care much about what others think of him and tries his best to change his fate (命运). Even when life is tough, he changes his own story with strong wills. I hope that young people today ________ .
H: How did you make the movie?
J: First, we studied old Ne Zha stories carefully to keep the good parts and add new ideas. Then, our team started drawing pictures of the characters. We changed the designs many times to make them look cool. After that, we wrote the story and made storyboards. We worked day and night to make the characters move like real ones. We also picked great music to make the movie even more exciting. After five years of hard work. the movie met the audience!
H: Could you share some of the difficulties while making the movie?
J: Special effects were a huge challenge. There are a lot of action scenes with fire, water, and magical powers in the movie. Making these effects look real was no easy task. Our team had to learn new software skills. For example, creating the fire effects in Ne Zha’s battles required advanced particle simulation (粒子模拟). We tested and changed details many times to perfect them.
H: Then do you have any plans for the future?
J: I’m excited to continue exploring new stories and characters. We’re thinking about broadening the “Ne Zha” world. with more plots and characters. I hope we can keep breaking the limits of animation and storytelling, so fans can enjoy something fresh and exciting.
1.How long did it take to complete the animated movie, Ne Zha: Birth of the Demon Child?
2.What makes the animated movie popular among people of all ages?
3.How did Jiaozi’s team deal with the challenge while making the effects of the movie?
4.What can be filled in the blank?
I hope that young people today

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Interviewer: Hi Johnson, thanks for being here today. We want to talk about freeganism. Can you tell us what that means?
Johnson: Freeganism is a way of life that helps reduce waste in our society. Freegans are people who try to live by using what others throw away.
Interviewer: Where do freegans look for food?
Johnson: Freegans look for food in the rubbish bins that are behind shopping centres or in the lanes behind buildings. Surprisingly, some of the food is still good. They might even find food that is still packed and just out of date.
Interviewer: Is this allowed?
Johnson: It may not be allowed, because the rubbish bins are often on private land. If they are caught, they can be arrested. But people still believe it helps reduce waste and is good for the environment.
Interviewer: Is it dangerous?
Johnson: It can be dangerous, not just because the food might be out of date, but also because there could be dangerous things in the rubbish. Freegans have to be careful and make sure they don’t hurt themselves.
Interviewer: 4 ?
Johnson: The answer is yes, but exact numbers aren’t known. The big chain supermarkets and shops have stopped throwing away food. Now they give it to food banks, so there are not many choices for Shanghai freegans.
Interviewer: Can you share a personal story?
Johnson: Mariela became a freegan after she lost her job in New York. She had a sick husband and three kids to look after. One day, she saw workers throwing food into bins behind a supermarket. She took what she could carry home to feed her family. Now, they have been freegans ever since. Mariela even made a film about her experience, called Freegans in New York. The film will be shown during Save The Earth Week to show how freegans live and why.
Interviewer: That’s really inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Johnson!

Hope Beyond the River
For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.
I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to watch the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse in my fourth year of university. Almost all of us graduates had degrees, but very uncertain future.
The weeks ahead weren’t easy. I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, so I packed up my things and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a week lasted for two weeks, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same situation as I was in before.
You know that feeling when you wake up in fear? That feeling became constant (持续不断的) in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like everlasting pain. And the most annoying part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any progress. So what did I do to keep my good sense? I decided to write. Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer-a little brighter. Something about writing gave me hope. And if you want something badly enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need!
I put my dissatisfaction into a children’s book. Beyond the River is the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who refused to give up his dream.
And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world - just a lot of hard work and determination - I was offered a publishing contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into place. I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.
Don’t give up. Even if things look tough now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream. All we need is the courage to push beyond the river.Q&A
1.Why was the author’s graduation day not exciting?
2.How did the author feel during the weeks and months after graduation?
3.What did the author do to keep his good sense?
4.What is the story Beyond the River about?
5.What does the underlined phrase “fall into place” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?
6.What made the author succeed? Why?
Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Ever irritated by someone shouting at their mobile phone in a public place?
We’ve all lost temper at least once at the sound of a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone.
Recently, Dr. Adam Rutherford has been answering questions. “I have no interest in hearing about other people’s private lives.” “The conversation would have seemed to worry older generations. I think they would have considered it rude to talk loudly in public.”
Many people seem to do it without realizing why, but is there a scientific reason for their loudness?
The answer begins by looking at one of the telephone designs called “sidetone”-a feature whereby a caller could hear his or her own voice in the phone’s speaker when talking.
This makes the user sure that his or her loud voice can be heard clearly, leaving no reason to raise voice on the phone. But the problem with mobiles is that they are mobile, and a fixed volume of “sidetone” isn’t always effective where background noise is very high.
Plus, this is our natural tendency to raise our voice to match the noise levels around us. We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear.
It is worth pointing out, however, that this would not be the first time that our use of mobile phones has challenged the idea of good manners. When phones were firstly invented, they raised all kinds of questions. Should one have a phone conversation when undressed? Was it proper to stand up when speaking to a woman on the phone?
It seems mobile phones, then, are a technology that may always form new etiquette issues.
1.Dr. Adam Rutherford doesn’t enjoy hearing about people’s private lives, does he?
2.When do we easily lose temper?
3.How may the elderly feel when they hear somebody talking loudly on the phone?
4.Where isn’t the fixed volume of “sidetone” always effective?
5.What is people’s natural tendency for loudness on the phone?
6.What is your suggestion when answering the phone in public? Why?

It is worth pointing out, however, that this would not be the first time that our use of mobile phones has challenged the idea of good manners. When phones were firstly invented, they raised all kinds of questions. Should one have a phone conversation when undressed? Was it proper to stand up when speaking to a woman on the phone?
It seems mobile phones, then, are a technology that may always form new etiquette issues.
1.Dr. Adam Rutherford doesn’t enjoy hearing about people’s private lives, does he?
2.When do we easily lose temper?
3.How may the elderly feel when they hear somebody talking loudly on the phone?
4.Where isn’t the fixed volume of “sidetone” always effective?
5.What is people’s natural tendency for loudness on the phone?
6.What is your suggestion when answering the phone in public? Why?
Sweet apologies
Last week, I found myself in a difficult situation with my new neighbour. He was a college student who had just moved in across the street and brought a ping-pong table with him. He put it in the grassland for public use and it soon became a favorite place for many in the community.
However, in the following days, the noise from the games never stopped. Whenever there was a game, the crowd cheered loudly, and the noise nearly drove me mad. I went to the boy’s house and told him that the table had to go, but he didn’t take it well. He asked who I was and why I was telling him what to do.
“A neighbour who is bothered by your table!” I shouted at him.
My husband pulled me away. At home, I sat on the sofa, still feeling angry. Suddenly, a picture on the wall came into view. It was taken at my college graduation ceremony. Seeing it brought back a flood of memories. I remembered my own college days, filled with cheers and adventures. How could I be so “cruel” to the young?
The next morning, after waking up, I decided to make an apology first. As some dough on the kitchen table caught my attention, an idea flashed into my mind: Why not bake some sugar cookies?
When I stood in front of his door, what I had said echoed (回响) in my mind. I took several deep breaths and knocked. The following seconds seemed like years for me. When the door finally opened, there was a surprised look on the boy’s face.
“Hi... I think... I’ve done something really awful,” I apologized, with my face turning red. “I hope you can accept these...”
I handed him the plate of cookies. He looked at the cookies and then at me.
“How do you know I’m hungry now? This is the best snack!” he picked one up and took a bite. But the empty pizza box on his table and sauce on his mouth showed he had already had enough for lunch. Finally, we agreed to start over.
Today, when I passed by the grassland, to my surprise, the ping-pong table was gone. When I got home, I found a box of chocolates in front of the door, with a note on it, which read “Enjoy my honest apology!”
1.Was the student’s ping-pong table popular among neighbours?
2.What did the author do to stop the noise caused by the table?
3.What made the author realize she was too rude to the student?
4.How did the author feel when standing at the student’s door again?
5.Why did the college student say the underlined sentences?
6.Who made apologies? Why does the author think the apologies are “sweet”? (At least 2 reasons)
Trevor got off the bus around three and walked home alone. It was the first time his parents weren’t home to greet him after school. They had a meeting with his older brother’s principal, and Trevor begged to stay home. He was excited to have the house to himself.
He took out his key and opened the door. His dog, Molly, ran to greet him. “Hey, guy, just me.”
Trevor locked the front door behind him, as promised his parents. He put the key on the table and dropped his backpack on the floor. “What should I do first?”
He turned on the TV and grabbed a snack. After watching a few shows and eating too much, he got bored. “Want to play outside?” he asked the dog, picking up two tennis balls. He walked to the back door, slid the wooden bar off the door, and put it on the floor. His mom always asked him to keep it on the door, even though there was already a lock.
The dog rushed outside, and Trevor ran after it, closing the door behind him without taking the back door key.
They played until they got tired. “Time to go inside and warm up.” Trevor went to the back door and tried to pull it open. It wouldn’t move. He looked inside and saw his cat, Misha, curled up on the wooden bar, sleeping in the evening sunlight.
“No way! We’re locked out!”
He ran to the front door. Locked. He checked all the windows. Also locked. Trevor almost cried.
When his parents returned home before dark, his mom asked in surprise. “What are you doing out here?”
“Misha locked us out,” Trevor said, rushing inside.
“Being home alone wasn’t what you expected, huh?” Dad said playfully.
“It seems without the wooden bar, our house is still safe.” Mom said.
“One thing I know for sure,” Trevor sighed.
“What’s that?”
“________!”
1.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?
2.What did Trevor promise his parents?
3.Why did Trevor’s mom always ask him to keep the wooden bar on the door?
4.How long was Trevor home alone before his parents returned?
5.Why did Trevor tell his parents that Misha locked him out?
6.What did Trevor say at the end of the story? Fill in the blank with one sentence.

考点三:阅读回答问题
1.解题技巧
1.1. 认真审题, 明确题目要求。
首先阅读题目, 明确题目中的关键词, 在阅读文章前对所要回答的问题有所了解。
1.2. 快速浏览文章, 规范答题。
回答问题型任务型阅读需要利用题干中关键词, 寻找文章中对应的关键词, 在对应词周围寻找答案或者直接在文章中搜索答案。带着审题时对文章大意的了解以及问题快速浏览文章, 以最快的速度在文章相对应的位置寻找相关信息。
1.3. 答题形式符合提问形式。
不同的提问方式需要不同形式的回答, 在答案简洁的基础上还要注意结构的完整。一般疑问句要用yes或no作答;特殊疑问句要根据特殊疑问词具体回答。
1.4. 仔细检查, 确保答案。
完成所有答题后, 需要再次速读一遍文章, 核对答案, 确保答案的正确性。需要注意, 有些题目答案可以在原文中直接找出;有些需要在原文的基础上, 结合题目要求进行时态、语态、人称的转换;有些需要进行归纳总结, 把正确答案重新组织语言表达出来。
2.满分技巧
2.1.快速通读课文,掌握文章大意。
浏览完题目后,带着问题快速通读全文,对文章的大意有一个初步的了解,同时找到文章中的关键句,并确定第二遍细读的重点部分,对于不影响理解和做题的部分可以一带而过,更不必在个别词上花时间。
2.2. 提取有效信息,根据题目要求进行改写。
在速度短文后,再回头看题后的问题。这时,能一锤定音的答案就先写好,不能马上确定的答案,根据第一遍速读时的印象到原文中找相关的信息,再进行推敲。尽管有相当的一部分题在原文中能找到答案,不需要推敲,但是大多数还是需要大家进行改写和重组的。
2.3. 仔细推敲,认真复查
做完题目后,要立足整体,将完成后的句子再通读一遍,看看所改写的句子是否流畅,语句是否通顺。同时还要照顾原文,看看答案是否与原文意义相符,时态一致。确保答案正确,大小写无误,语法正确,逻辑合理。
为了弥补阅读理解客观题(判断是非题与单项选择题)一统天下、考生容易猜测的局面,近年来各地中考英语阅读理解部分都引入了属于主观题性质的任务型阅读,要求考生或填写表格(一般限定词数),或回答问题。这类试题的难度最大,考生如果不能真正读懂并理解文章,就无法下笔。 值得一提的是,近年来任务型阅读的主观题在各地中考英语试题中所占的比例越来越大,有的地方试题甚至采用两篇,既要求考生根据文章填写表格,又要求考生在阅读文章后回答问题,但是,综观任何一组中考英语阅读理解试题,试题的难易度分布非常有序。分析近3年中考英语真题可知,回答问题型阅读的话题涉及故事类、介绍类、观点建议类、饮食与健康类、科普知识类、文化风俗类及校园生活类。
考题再现
John Hunter, a primary school teacher, created the World Peace Game as a way for his students to think about big world problems.
The World Peace Game is played on a cube of four layers. In the game, there are four countries with 50 interconnected problems to solve. The students play a role in developing solutions to the problems of their assigned country. The goal of the game is to save each country from dangerous conditions. When all 50 problems are solved, the game is over, which means the world is in peace.
You might think that the task of solving real-world problems would be daunting (令人畏惧的) to world leaders, let alone fourth graders. Julianne Swope, one of Hunter’s students, agrees. “Sometimes the World Peace Game feels like, you know, the weight of the world on your shoulders: This is firing over there and this is big earthquake,” she says. “But I say to myself, I need to fix this. The game shows that young children have the desire to make the world a better, more peaceful place.”
The game encourages students to work together and communicate with one another. Students think about questions that have no clear answers, which often leads to long discussions. They consider deep questions in the process and think about the possible results of their decisions. They try to develop creative solutions that lead to a satisfactory decision.
It is no surprise that both Hunter and the World Peace Game are becoming well known. Hunter now spends part of his time teaching the World Peace Game to other teachers. Schools in other countries have started their own versions of the game as well.
Hunter hopes that by playing for peace, students learn “how to make people not experience so much pain”. He adds, “I think I now hope that game helps people be kinder.” One of his former students Irenc Newman, is now studying peace in her university. She believes the world will be more peaceful if young people are to solve its problems.
1.How many layers does the game cube have?
2.What is the main goal of the World Peace Game?
3.What does Julianne Swope, one of Hunter’s students compare the game to?
4.What does the game encourage students to do?
5.What does Hunter do after the game becomes popular?
6.If you have a chance to add the 51st problem to the game, what problem would you include? Why?
【答案】1.Four. 2.To save each country from dangerous conditions. 3.The weight of the world on your shoulders. 4.The game encourages students to work together and communicate with one another. 5.He teaches the World Peace Game to other teachers. 6.Climate change.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Interviewer: Hi Johnson, thanks for being here today. We want to talk about freeganism. Can you tell us what that means?
Johnson: Freeganism is a way of life that helps reduce waste in our society. Freegans are people who try to live by using what others throw away.
Interviewer: Where do freegans look for food?
Johnson: Freegans look for food in the rubbish bins that are behind shopping centres or in the lanes behind buildings. Surprisingly, some of the food is still good. They might even find food that is still packed and just out of date.
Interviewer: Is this allowed?
Johnson: It may not be allowed, because the rubbish bins are often on private land. If they are caught, they can be arrested. But people still believe it helps reduce waste and is good for the environment.
Interviewer: Is it dangerous?
Johnson: It can be dangerous, not just because the food might be out of date, but also because there could be dangerous things in the rubbish. Freegans have to be careful and make sure they don’t hurt themselves.
Interviewer: 4 ?
Johnson: The answer is yes, but exact numbers aren’t known. The big chain supermarkets and shops have stopped throwing away food. Now they give it to food banks, so there are not many choices for Shanghai freegans.
Interviewer: Can you share a personal story?
Johnson: Mariela became a freegan after she lost her job in New York. She had a sick husband and three kids to look after. One day, she saw workers throwing food into bins behind a supermarket. She took what she could carry home to feed her family. Now, they have been freegans ever since. Mariela even made a film about her experience, called Freegans in New York. The film will be shown during Save The Earth Week to show how freegans live and why.
Interviewer: That’s really inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Johnson!

Hope Beyond the River
For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.
I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to watch the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse in my fourth year of university. Almost all of us graduates had degrees, but very uncertain future.
The weeks ahead weren’t easy. I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, so I packed up my things and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a week lasted for two weeks, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same situation as I was in before.
You know that feeling when you wake up in fear? That feeling became constant (持续不断的) in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like everlasting pain. And the most annoying part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any progress. So what did I do to keep my good sense? I decided to write. Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer-a little brighter. Something about writing gave me hope. And if you want something badly enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need!
I put my dissatisfaction into a children’s book. Beyond the River is the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who refused to give up his dream.
And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world - just a lot of hard work and determination - I was offered a publishing contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into place. I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Ever irritated by someone shouting at their mobile phone in a public place?
We’ve all lost temper at least once at the sound of a person loudly communicating with someone on a mobile phone.
Recently, Dr. Adam Rutherford has been answering questions. “I have no interest in hearing about other people’s private lives.” “The conversation would have seemed to worry older generations. I think they would have considered it rude to talk loudly in public.”
Many people seem to do it without realizing why, but is there a scientific reason for their loudness?
The answer begins by looking at one of the telephone designs called “sidetone”-a feature whereby a caller could hear his or her own voice in the phone’s speaker when talking.
This makes the user sure that his or her loud voice can be heard clearly, leaving no reason to raise voice on the phone. But the problem with mobiles is that they are mobile, and a fixed volume of “sidetone” isn’t always effective where background noise is very high.
Plus, this is our natural tendency to raise our voice to match the noise levels around us. We tend to try and match the loudest sound we can hear.
It is worth pointing out, however, that this would not be the first time that our use of mobile phones has challenged the idea of good manners. When phones were firstly invented, they raised all kinds of questions. Should one have a phone conversation when undressed? Was it proper to stand up when speaking to a woman on the phone?
It seems mobile phones, then, are a technology that may always form new etiquette issues.
1.Dr. Adam Rutherford doesn’t enjoy hearing about people’s private lives, does he?
2.When do we easily lose temper?
3.How may the elderly feel when they hear somebody talking loudly on the phone?
4.Where isn’t the fixed volume of “sidetone” always effective?

Sweet apologies
Last week, I found myself in a difficult situation with my new neighbour. He was a college student who had just moved in across the street and brought a ping-pong table with him. He put it in the grassland for public use and it soon became a favorite place for many in the community.
However, in the following days, the noise from the games never stopped. Whenever there was a game, the crowd cheered loudly, and the noise nearly drove me mad. I went to the boy’s house and told him that the table had to go, but he didn’t take it well. He asked who I was and why I was telling him what to do.
“A neighbour who is bothered by your table!” I shouted at him.
My husband pulled me away. At home, I sat on the sofa, still feeling angry. Suddenly, a picture on the wall came into view. It was taken at my college graduation ceremony. Seeing it brought back a flood of memories. I remembered my own college days, filled with cheers and adventures. How could I be so “cruel” to the young?
The next morning, after waking up, I decided to make an apology first. As some dough on the kitchen table caught my attention, an idea flashed into my mind: Why not bake some sugar cookies?
When I stood in front of his door, what I had said echoed (回响) in my mind. I took several deep breaths and knocked. The following seconds seemed like years for me. When the door finally opened, there was a surprised look on the boy’s face.
“Hi... I think... I’ve done something really awful,” I apologized, with my face turning red. “I hope you can accept these...”
I handed him the plate of cookies. He looked at the cookies and then at me.
“How do you know I’m hungry now? This is the best snack!” he picked one up and took a bite. But the empty pizza box on his table and sauce on his mouth showed he had already had enough for lunch. Finally, we agreed to start over.
Today, when I passed by the grassland, to my surprise, the ping-pong table was gone. When I got home, I found a box of chocolates in front of the door, with a note on it, which read “Enjoy my honest apology!”

2.What did the author do to stop the noise caused by the table?
3.What made the author realize she was too rude to the student?
4.How did the author feel when standing at the student’s door again?
5.Why did the college student say the underlined sentences?
6.Who made apologies? Why does the author think the apologies are “sweet”? (At least 2 reasons)
【答案】1.Yes, it was. 2.She went to the boy’s house and told him that the table had to go. 3.A picture of her college graduation ceremony. 4.Nervous. 5.To make the author feel better and show his willingness to accept the apology. 6.Both the author and the college student made apologies. The author thinks the apologies are “sweet” because the student accepted her apology kindly, easing the tension and showing understanding. And the student apologized in return with chocolates and a note, and removed the ping-pong table, showing his sincerity.

Trevor got off the bus around three and walked home alone. It was the first time his parents weren’t home to greet him after school. They had a meeting with his older brother’s principal, and Trevor begged to stay home. He was excited to have the house to himself.
He took out his key and opened the door. His dog, Molly, ran to greet him. “Hey, guy, just me.”
Trevor locked the front door behind him, as promised his parents. He put the key on the table and dropped his backpack on the floor. “What should I do first?”
He turned on the TV and grabbed a snack. After watching a few shows and eating too much, he got bored. “Want to play outside?” he asked the dog, picking up two tennis balls. He walked to the back door, slid the wooden bar off the door, and put it on the floor. His mom always asked him to keep it on the door, even though there was already a lock.
The dog rushed outside, and Trevor ran after it, closing the door behind him without taking the back door key.
They played until they got tired. “Time to go inside and warm up.” Trevor went to the back door and tried to pull it open. It wouldn’t move. He looked inside and saw his cat, Misha, curled up on the wooden bar, sleeping in the evening sunlight.
“No way! We’re locked out!”
He ran to the front door. Locked. He checked all the windows. Also locked. Trevor almost cried.
When his parents returned home before dark, his mom asked in surprise. “What are you doing out here?”
“Misha locked us out,” Trevor said, rushing inside.
