Ⅱ.阅读理解

The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.

One such example is the word matter.In fact，matter can mean just about anything.It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.

Let’s get to the heart of the matter—a matter of principle (原则)．

If someone says that you owe (欠) him $50，but you don’t，a friend might say，“Well，you could pay him the $50.It’s not that much money.Then you won’t have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money，do not pay him the money.It’s a matter of principle.

There is another way to use the word matter.But be careful with your choice of words.

If you ask someone，“What’s the matter？”，it shows you are worried about the other person.But saying，“What’s the matter with you？” has a completely different meaning.And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的)．In fact，when you say，“What’s  the  matter  with  you？”，you  are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.

Another expression that could sound rude is to say，“It doesn’t matter to me.” Here，it depends on the context，and how you say it.

Let’s say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work.That person answers with，“It doesn’t matter to me.”Here，it means he or she does not care.And it sounds rude.

But saying，“Oh，you pick where we eat dinner.It doesn’t matter to me.” does not sound rude.In this situation，“it doesn’t matter” shows you are easy­going (随和的)．

No matter how you look at it and what you  say，matter is a very useful  word.And it’s only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.

语篇解读　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了matter一词的诸多用法。

1．We can infer from the text that the word matter________.

答案：　B

3．The underlined word “context” in the text probably means________.

A．choice 　　　　　　　 B．person

C．situation   D．answer

解析：　词义猜测题。根据倒数第二、三段举例说明It doesn’t matter to me在不同的语境意思不同可知，该表达取决于上下文语境，故选situation。

答案：　C

4．The author develops the text mainly by________.

参考答案

Dear boys and girls，

I’d like to share my experience in learning  English with you.

I make it a rule to listen to VOA or the BBC  in my spare time to improve my listening.At the  same time，I repeat what the speaker says while  listening to improve my pronunciation.Besides，watching English movies can combine English  learning with relaxation.I always take every chance to speak in class and I am proud of making myself understood in  English.Sometimes I practise speaking with my classmates after class.To increase my vocabulary，I have formed the habit of reading English magazines and novels at weekends.I have learned to guess the meaning of new words.In addition，I find keeping a diary in English is helpful.

All in all，I hope all of you have fun learning English.
