Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從A.B.C.D 四個選項中選出一個最佳答案

One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, “You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite ___________ at the answer. Thinking he had not made ___________understood or the girl had not ___________ him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” ___________ the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know ___________ to say.

What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t ___________ a compliment (恭維) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She ___________ understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the___________ , people will feel proud and ___________ when they are praised . So if someone says the___________ you have cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank you.”

In our country we think being modest is a virtue (美德) and being proud is a bad thing , but in my opinion, being confident does not ___________ being proud, so sometimes you should be confident ___________ being modest.

___________ you are modest and say, “No, I’m afraid I can’t do it well”, while working in a western country, the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say “No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by___________ . When asking for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “Let me have a try”, he or she will___________ get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要談到了英語交際中的謙虛問題，在西方交際中對于別人的夸獎，贊美等恭維一般是欣然接受，并表示感謝。而不是像中國人一樣謙虛幾句。

【1】B考查形容詞及語境的理解。A．excited激動的；B．surprised吃驚的；C．relaxed放松的；D．frightened害怕的。句意：這個外國人很驚訝。這里是感到驚訝。根據(jù)題意，故選B。

2.【2】C考查代詞及語境的理解。A．itself它本身；B．herself她自己；C．himself他自己；D．themselves他們自己。句意這個男孩認(rèn)為對方?jīng)]有明白自己的意思，這里是指他自己。根據(jù)題意，故選C。

【3】A考查動詞及語境的理解。A．heard聽見 ；B．watched觀看；C．listened to聽；D．looked at看。根據(jù)句意：這個女孩還沒有聽清他說的什么。這里是“沒聽清”的意思，強調(diào)聽的結(jié)果，用hear；前面用了had，動詞用過去分詞，構(gòu)成過去完成時。故選A。

【4】D考查連詞短語及語境的理解。A．though通過；B．although盡管；C．or或者；D．but但是。句意：但是這個女孩仍然說“不是”。男孩原以為女孩不明白，重復(fù)一篇后，仍舊未聽到女孩符合常理的回答，這是出乎男孩意料的。前后意思有所轉(zhuǎn)折，因此用but。故選D。

5.【5】C考查疑問詞及語境的理解。A．when何時；B．which哪一個；C．what什么；D．how怎樣。what to say“不知說什么”，其中what是say邏輯賓語；且say是及物動物，必須跟賓語。故選C。
