三、阅读理解( 共两节，共40 分)
第一节：阅读下面短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。(每小题2 分，共30 分)
A
Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from elegant (优雅的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.
Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.
“WC, or the water closet, is old-fashioned English,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/ Men” and “Ladies/Women”.
“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Henan Province’, I know he should say, ‘My hometown is in Henan Province’. ‘Hometown’ is a smaller place in a province.” The common (常见的) mistakes include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction (方向) of the Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate (房价)”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.
( ) 31. What does the writer think of the use of “WC”?
A. He doesn’t think it means the water closet.
B. He doesn’ t think it is old-fashioned English.
C. He doesn’t think it is proper for a sign.
D. He thinks it is elegant English.
( ) 32. The underlined word “rarely” means _______.
A. sometimes B. seldom C. often D. always
( ) 33. Charlie Shifflet _______.
A. is a Chinese living in America
B. thinks Chinese people are sometimes using incorrect English
C. likes to hear or see Chinglish
D. sometimes uses Chinglish
B
People use their mouths for many things. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say, “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”
Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say, “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”.
Or the person possibly has a very frightening (可怕的) experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say, “I had my heart in my mouth”.
Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person “was born with a silver spoon (银勺) in his mouth”. He is the opposite of a person living from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important thing in life, like food.
( ) 34. The underlined word “regret” may mean _______.
A. feel sorry B. feel excited
C. feel proud D. feel surprised
( ) 35. When a man says “I had my heart in my mouth”, usually he means he was _______.
A. excited B. afraid C. surprised D. happy
( ) 36. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A. Different Uses of Regret B. People and Their Mouths
C. Expressions about Mouth D. The Importance of Mouth
C
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that, “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine.” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, the other person might think “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong”. But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly. So the other person might say, “I’m not sure”. It’s a more polite way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says, “I have to go now”. Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse like “Someone’s at the door” or “Something is burning on the stove”. The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be polite to each other, and it is part of the game of the language.
( ) 37. As a greeting, when a person in America asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “_______”
A. I am not fine. B. Fine, thank you.
C. How do you do? D. Hello.
( ) 38. How do you answer “Do you agree?” more politely?
A. No, I disagree. B. You are wrong.
C. I’m not sure. D. Of course not.
( ) 39. When you are talking with your friend on the phone, and he says “Someone is at the door.”, he may mean _______.
A. someone is knocking at the door B. he wants to hang up
C. he asks you to hold on D. he will call you later
( ) 40. Which of the following sentences is NOT right?
A. You should not show your disagreement too strongly.
B. If someone says “How are you?”, you should give him a real answer.
C. “Something is burning on the stove.” means “I am afraid I have to hang up”.
D. Sometimes people don’t say exactly what they mean because they want to be nice and polite.
D
Everyone knows that good manners are important. Here is something interesting about manners in different countries. I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things.
Something rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having soup because people think that bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something. This shows that you are enjoying it.
In Britain, people try not to put their hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico (墨西哥), however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. If you are in Arab (阿拉伯) countries, you must be careful with your hands, too. You see, in Arab countries you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This isn’t thought as very polite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the local people to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.
( ) 41. In Britain, you must be careful not to _______.
A. put down the bowl B. lift your bowl to your mouth
C. ask local people for help D. eat with your left hands
( ) 42. If you make a noise when you drink something in Japan, this shows you _______.
A. enjoy it B. have bad manners
C. hate it D. worry about it
( ) 43. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Mexicans expect their guests to keep their hands under the table.
B. It’s not polite to eat with your left hand in Arab countries.
C. Japanese keep quiet when drinking.
D. British people put their hands on the table during a meal.
( ) 44. What should you do when you visit a foreign country?
A. You can do anything you like.
B. You should do as the local people do.
C. You can do nothing.
D. You should forget your manners.

In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you should ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if they say, “No, you can’t smoke.”49._______ But if they don’t allow you to smoke in their house, they are not rude hosts.

To Be a Better Citizen
Suqian is a national civilized city. As a citizen, we should take pride in our city. And I think we have lots of things to do if we want to be a civilized citizen.
Firstly, it’s our duty to protect the environment. We mustn’t throw litter around. Instead we can put it in the dustbins. Secondly, we should keep ourselves safe all the time. We should follow the traffic rules and not swim in the river or the pool by ourselves. Thirdly, try to develop good living habits. Play sports for at least one hour a day and don’t stay up too late. Fourthly, we should be friendly to others, and be ready to help others.
Follow these, and we will be a better citizen.
作文点评：这篇短文运用了“三步”法进行写作：话题引入→礼仪介绍→发出倡仪。文章第一段中用if 引导了一个条件状语从句，提出假设，引人思考，为下文的介绍埋下伏笔。第二段用Firstly, Secondly, Thirdly, Fourthly 表示顺序的副词，使得行文流畅，层次分明。最后一段发出倡议，按上述的要求做，成为一名更好的市民。文中take pride in, it’s our duty to... , be friendly to... , be ready to... 等为文章增色许多。
添彩点：文中画线词句是文章的亮点。
