They are part of their national identity (特性), as well as having fish and chips and complaining about the weather. Recently I read online that they say “sorry” up to eight times a day. After some research I have not been able to find any specific reasons why they are like this. I suppose, for centuries, manners, including how they behave at table and talk to other people have been one of the differences between the lower and upper classes and those manners show their social classes. Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative (保守的) country. There are many articles suggesting that their seemingly polite attitude of always saying “please” and “thank you” is quite false because it is impossible for a person to always feel that he or she wants to thank someone or say “please”. Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways: they are too polite and hold back their feelings or they are not polite at all and express their true feelings directly. Some British people are tired of pretending that they are always happy and having to please others. But sometimes because they feel they have to be polite, they are prevented from saying what they truly think. 21．What don’t the British people often do? A．Eating fish and chips. B．Having no good manners. C．Being polite to others. D．Talking about the weather. 22．The British people say “_________” up to eight times every day. A．hello B．thank you C．I don’t know D．sorry 23．According to the passage, why are the British people so polite? ① The upper classes should have good manners. ② They have learned much about politeness at school. ③ They like to hold back their true feelings. ④ They are not honest at all. A．①② B．③④ C．①③ D．②④ 24．What does the underlined word “pretending” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Planing. B．Acting. C．Imagining. D．Tasting. 25．Which can be the best title for this passage? A．Why British People Are So Polite B．British People Should Not Be So Polite C．How to Learn the British Manners D．It’s Time to Change Our Manners 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．C 24．B 25．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了对英国人的文明礼仪的研究并解释了英国人这样做的原因。 21．推理判断题。根据“They are part of their national identity (特性), as well as having fish and chips and complaining about the weather. Recently I read online that they say ‘sorry’ up to eight times a day.”可知，B选项“没有很好的礼貌。”是英国人不常做的事。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据“Recently I read online that they say ‘sorry’ up to eight times a day.”可知，英国人每天会说8次“对不起”。故选D。 23．推理判断题。根据“I suppose, for centuries, manners, including how they behave at table and talk to other people have been one of the differences between the lower and upper classes and those manners show their social classes.”以及“Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways: they are too polite and hold back their feelings or they are not polite at all and express their true feelings directly.”可知，作者认为英国人如此有礼貌的原因是上流社会的人应该有礼貌，以及他们喜欢隐藏自己的真实感情。故选C。 24．词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“that they are always happy and having to please others.”可知此处的句子“Some British people are tired of pretending”意为“一些英国人已经厌倦了假装”，所以画线词意为“假装”。故选B。 25．最佳标题。根据“We all know that the British people love their manners (礼仪). They are part of their national identity (特性), as well as having fish and chips and complaining about the weather. Recently I read online that they say ‘sorry’ up to eight times a day.”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了对英国人的文明礼仪的研究，并解释了英国一直这样做的原因。A选项“为什么英国人如此有礼貌”符合主题。故选A。 四、匹配阅读 左栏是对五位学生英语技能情况的描述，右栏是马丁英语培训中心七个课程的简介，请为左栏的每位学生选择一个合适的课程。 26 Ann is a middle school student.
