In this situation, they don’t really feel sad or regret (懊悔). So what does “sorry” really mean? ___47___ Well, in British culture, saying “sorry” is a way to be polite, especially to people who they don’t know very well. ___48___ In a study, a person asked different strangers on a rainy day if he could use their phones in order to make a call.

In this situation, they don’t really feel sad or regret (懊悔).”可知，前文提到“sorry”一词的含义随时间有所变化，后文又指出英国人问陌生人问题时用“sorry”并非真的感到悲伤或懊悔，选项E“‘sorry’在字典里的主要意思是‘感到悲伤或懊悔’。”符合语境，解释了“sorry”原本的含义，与后文形成对比。故选E。 【47题详解】 根据“Well, in British culture, saying ‘sorry’ is a way to be polite, especially to people who they don’t know very well.”可知此处解释了英国人使用“sorry”的原因，选项C“为什么英国人这么频繁地使用‘sorry’呢？”符合语境。故选C。 【48题详解】 根据“In a study, a person asked different strangers on a rainy day if he could use their phones in order to make a call...So maybe saying ‘sorry’ is not just about being polite, but it is also a good way to get what you want!”可知，后文通过研究实例说明了说“sorry”能提高成功获取所需物品的概率，选项F“这也是英国人获取他们想要的东西的一种非常聪明的方式。”符合语境。故选F。 (D) 请阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，在方框内的缩写文章中，填入与短文意思最符合的单词，并将其答案写在方框下面的横线上。每空一词。 Today, umbrellas are one of the most common tools in our daily lives, and people use them to protect themselves from rain, snow, or the sun.

They are at work from the moment you wake up to the moment you close them to go to sleep. They allow us to enjoy sunsets, rain, sports events and other beautiful things. Our eyes are made up of many different parts. Each of them has important roles to help us see well. They work together to take in information about the world around us—shapes, colors, movements and more. Parts Roles The pupil It is the dark hole in the middle of the eye. It lets in light. The iris (虹膜) It’s the colored part that helps the pupil open and close. The eyelid It keeps the eyeball wet and protects it. The eyelash It can stop dirt and other things from getting into the eyes. Scientists believe that the eye is the second most complex organ (复杂的器官) in the human body after the brain. Our eyes work by allowing light to enter through the pupil and hit the retina (视网膜) at the back of the eye. This is a bit like a film projecting (投影) onto a screen at the cinema. Then the retina changes the light into nerve signals (神经信号) so the brain can understand what the eye is seeing. Though the eye is an amazing thing, sometimes it doesn’t work as well as it should—some people may lose their sight (视力) or are born blind. This doesn’t mean these people are helpless though. They can read books using Braille, a kind of writing made from raised dots (凸点) . Or they can get around with the help of a guide dog and even play blind football! ▲ Your eyes do some great things for you, so take these tips to protect them. ●Spend more time outdoors. ●Limit (限制) screen time on computers, phones or iPads. ●Take a break after using your eyes for a long time. ●Do eye exercises when possible. 54.

They are at work from the moment you wake up to the moment you close them to go to sleep. They allow us to enjoy sunsets, rain, sports events and other beautiful things. Our eyes are made up of many different parts. Each of them has important roles to help us see well. They work together to take in information about the world around us—shapes, colors, movements and more. Parts Roles The pupil It is the dark hole in the middle of the eye. It lets in light. The iris (虹膜) It’s the colored part that helps the pupil open and close. The eyelid It keeps the eyeball wet and protects it. The eyelash It can stop dirt and other things from getting into the eyes. Scientists believe that the eye is the second most complex organ (复杂的器官) in the human body after the brain. Our eyes work by allowing light to enter through the pupil and hit the retina (视网膜) at the back of the eye. This is a bit like a film projecting (投影) onto a screen at the cinema. Then the retina changes the light into nerve signals (神经信号) so the brain can understand what the eye is seeing. Though the eye is an amazing thing, sometimes it doesn’t work as well as it should—some people may lose their sight (视力) or are born blind. This doesn’t mean these people are helpless though. They can read books using Braille, a kind of writing made from raised dots (凸点) . Or they can get around with the help of a guide dog and even play blind football! ▲ Your eyes do some great things for you, so take these tips to protect them. ●Spend more time outdoors. ●Limit (限制) screen time on computers, phones or iPads. ●Take a break after using your eyes for a long time. ●Do eye exercises when possible. 54.
