RED BANK, New Jersey (January 31, 2020). These days, women go to space. They sail around the world. They have all kinds of adventures. This wasn’t true hundreds of years ago. Back then, women were expected to stay home. But that didn’t stop these three women from taking off and doing big things.
Jeanne Baret (1740-1807): Baret was a French scientist. She studied plants. And she was the first woman to sail around the world. In 1766, Baret wanted to set sail with a group of scientists. But they were all men. Women weren’t allowed to travel on French navy ships. So Baret dressed up like a man. And she sailed away.
Lady Hester Stanhope (1776-1839): Stanhope was from England. She wanted to travel. She traveled throughout the Middle East by herself And she led an archaeological (考古学的) dig there. She was the first woman to do this.
Nellie Bly (1864--1922): Bly was a reporter. In 1887, she wrote a story about hidden problems at a hospital. She dressed up like a patient at the hospital. Then she wrote a six-part report. The story made Bly well-known. It also led the way for other women reporters. Two years later, Bly set a world record. She traveled around the world in 72 days!
26. Jeanne Baret was from _______.
A. England B. Italy C. France D. Africa
27. A record traveling around the world in 72 days was set by _______.
A. Red Ban B. Jeanne Baret C. Lady Hester Stanhope D. Nellie Bly
28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Nellie Bly was a patient in the hospital.
B. All of the three women sailed around the world.
C. Lady Hester Stanhope studied archeology in the Middle East alone.
D. Jeanne Baret was the first woman to travel around the world by sea.
29. From the passage, we know the three women are all _______.
A. beautiful B. kindhearted C. adventurous D. popular
30. The passage is probably from the ________ column (栏目) of a magazine.
A. People B. Science C. Health D. News
Different countries have different customs and cultures. Every culture around the world has different customs and ways of communicating. When you learn a language, you learn more than words.
In China, people are used to saying “sorry” to show that they regret doing something wrong. But it’s very proud for American people to have polite manners towards one another in public. They often use the word “sorry”—even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they will start by saying “Sorry to trouble you.” If they’re five minutes late for the appointment, they will greet the person by saying “Sorry, I’m late!” It’s quite different in China. They use the word “sorry” in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (定义) of “sorry” are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck; 2) feeling regret because you’ve done something wrong.
So what does “sorry” really mean? And why do western people use it so much? Well, in western culture, saying “sorry” is a way to be polite. It’s also a very clever way to get what they want. If you want to borrow something from others, you’d better say “sorry” to them about something. Or it’s hard for you to get what you want. So maybe saying “sorry” is not only just being polite, but also a good method to get what you want!
31. How many examples of the use of “sorry” are given by Americans in the second paragraph?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
32. When do people in America say “sorry” according to the passage?
A. When they regret doing something wrong.
B. When they ask strangers for help.
C. When they greet people for the first time.
D. When they arrive at a place early.
33. What does the underlined word “appointment” in the passage mean?
A. Idea. B. Class. C. Date D. Safety.
34. In which country do people say “sorry” to get what they want?
A. Japan. B. China. C. Korea. D. Germany.
35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How to Say “Sorry” Correctly. B. The Different Meanings of “Sorry”.
C. Why Western People Say “Sorry” D. Why Chinese People Say “Sorry”

Long time ago, people from other cultures used their hands to eat food, while the ancient Chinese invented chopsticks to keep their hands clean. Early chopsticks were used mainly for cooking until 400 A.D. when people began eating with chopsticks.
We don’t know exactly when chopsticks were invented. There’s a research showing that they didn’t come into wide use until about 300 B.C. Chinese thinker Confucius was an important person in the history of chopsticks, because he thought peace would not appear if people used knives during a meal.
The “no-knives-on-the-table” rule led to a big change in Chinese cooking. Food had to be cut into small pieces. This was the birth of Chinese cooking and it has made Chinese food popular around the world.
However, many Westerners find it difficult to use chopsticks. Eric, a foreign teacher, had the experience of learning to use chopsticks. “I need to hold them properly to be able to put the food carefully into my mouth.” Eric’s Chinese friends taught him patiently, but it still took him months to learn this skill. “But it’s worth learning. I have learned a lot from this experience,” Eric said.
Cultures can often be understood through food. For Chinese, food doesn’t just provide energy. It also brings happiness. And chopsticks also mean a lot. As a good example of Chinese culture, they show the Chinese wisdom (智慧).

Different countries have different customs and cultures. Every culture around the world has different customs and ways of communicating. When you learn a language, you learn more than words.
In China, people are used to saying “sorry” to show that they regret doing something wrong. But it’s very proud for American people to have polite manners towards one another in public. They often use the word “sorry”—even when they don’t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they will start by saying “Sorry to trouble you.” If they’re five minutes late for the appointment, they will greet the person by saying “Sorry, I’m late!” It’s quite different in China. They use the word “sorry” in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (定义) of “sorry” are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck; 2) feeling regret because you’ve done something wrong.
So what does “sorry” really mean? And why do western people use it so much? Well, in western culture, saying “sorry” is a way to be polite. It’s also a very clever way to get what they want. If you want to borrow something from others, you’d better say “sorry” to them about something. Or it’s hard for you to get what you want. So maybe saying “sorry” is not only just being polite, but also a good method to get what you want!
31. How many examples of the use of “sorry” are given by Americans in the second paragraph?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
32. When do people in America say “sorry” according to the passage?
A. When they regret doing something wrong.
B. When they ask strangers for help.
C. When they greet people for the first time.
D. When they arrive at a place early.
33. What does the underlined word “appointment” in the passage mean?
A. Idea. B. Class. C. Date D. Safety.
34. In which country do people say “sorry” to get what they want?
A. Japan. B. China. C. Korea. D. Germany.
35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How to Say “Sorry” Correctly. B. The Different Meanings of “Sorry”.
C. Why Western People Say “Sorry” D. Why Chinese People Say “Sorry”
【答案】31. A 32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【分析】不同的国家有不同的习俗和文化。 世界上的每种文化都有不同的习俗和交流方式。 当你学习一门语言时,你学的不仅仅是单词。本文以sorry这个词为例,讲述了不同文化中它所表达的含义。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they will start by saying “Sorry to trouble you.” If they’re five minutes late for the appointment, they will greet the person by saying “Sorry, I'm late!””可知,这里举了美国人使用“sorry”的两个例子:第一个是向陌生人询问时间;另一个是在约会迟到时使用。故选A。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they will start by saying “Sorry to trouble you.””所举的这个例子可以看出,美国人在向陌生人寻求帮助的时候会使用“sorry”。故选B。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据语境“If they’re five minutes late for the appointment, they will greet the person by saying “Sorry, I’m late!””“如果他们……迟到了五分钟,他们会说‘对不起,我迟到了’。” 由此可猜测appointment的意思应该是“约会”,与date同义。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Well, in western culture, saying “sorry” is a way to be polite. It’s also a very clever way to get what they want.”可知,西方人用“sorry”作为一个得到他们想要的东西的方法。选项中A、B和C都是东方国家,D选项是“德国”,是西方国家,故选D。
【35题详解】
最佳标题。根据文意可知,这篇短文介绍了语言与文化关系密切,并以“sorry”这个词为例,介绍了在不同文化中它所表达的含义。B选项“‘sorry’的不同含义”最符合文章的大意,做题目最为合适。故选B。

Long time ago, people from other cultures used their hands to eat food, while the ancient Chinese invented chopsticks to keep their hands clean. Early chopsticks were used mainly for cooking until 400 A.D. when people began eating with chopsticks.
We don’t know exactly when chopsticks were invented. There’s a research showing that they didn’t come into wide use until about 300 B.C. Chinese thinker Confucius was an important person in the history of chopsticks, because he thought peace would not appear if people used knives during a meal.
The “no-knives-on-the-table” rule led to a big change in Chinese cooking. Food had to be cut into small pieces. This was the birth of Chinese cooking and it has made Chinese food popular around the world.
However, many Westerners find it difficult to use chopsticks. Eric, a foreign teacher, had the experience of learning to use chopsticks. “I need to hold them properly to be able to put the food carefully into my mouth.” Eric’s Chinese friends taught him patiently, but it still took him months to learn this skill. “But it’s worth learning. I have learned a lot from this experience,” Eric said.
Cultures can often be understood through food. For Chinese, food doesn’t just provide energy. It also brings happiness. And chopsticks also mean a lot. As a good example of Chinese culture, they show the Chinese wisdom (智慧).
