Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

At some point in your life, you will need to ask someone for a favor(幫助), whether it’s at your workplace, at home or in a social setting. If you need a guy to help you with something, there are ways to approach him that will help you ask for that favor.

Find the right guy to ask for a favor.【1】For example, if you need someone to look after your house while you are away for a month, don’t select a guy who has a wife and kids and can’t possibly leave them to do you the favor.

【2】Even if it’s a small favor, try to find a place that has some privacy(私密性). This is especially important if you’re asking for a favor that you don’t want someone else to hear, such as borrowing money from him.

Use special words to set the table so that he knows you’re in need. 【3】Or words such as “I really need your help” are OK. These words give him the chance to understand that he can be of help.

Ask for help in a clear way that expresses what you need, the reason why you need it, and more importantly, the parameters(限定因素) of the favor. For example, if you’re asking him to take you to the airport, tell him when you need him to arrive. If you’re borrowing money from him, say the amount and the reason why you need the money. 【4】

Ask for help in such a way that you give him the chance to refuse. 【5】If you don’t give him that choice, he may feel as if it’s something he has to do instead of something he wants to do.

A. Find the right place to ask him.

B. Be a kind person who always helps others.

C. The guy must have the ability to help you.

D. Besides, you should tell him when you will give it back.

E. You can say, “I’m really in trouble. Can you help me?”

F. It can be difficult to find the right words to tell what you need.

G. Make it clear that you completely understand if he can’t help you.

【2】A

【3】E

【4】D

【5】G

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于說明文，介紹了當(dāng)我們向別人求助的時(shí)候，要注意的五點(diǎn)建議。

【1】C 本段的主題是Find the right guy to ask for a favor.找到幫助你的合適的人。那么這個(gè)人必須是有能力幫到你，故C項(xiàng)“The guy must have the ability to help you.”與上下文一致。而且后句的例子“當(dāng)你找人幫你照看房子，你不能找有妻子孩子要照顧的人，因?yàn)樗麤]有能力幫助你”也證明了C項(xiàng)正確。

【2】A 根據(jù)橫線后一句Even if it’s a small favor, try to find a place that has some privacy(私密性).即使是小忙，也要找一個(gè)私密的地方。所以本段的建議是找到合適的地方請(qǐng)對(duì)方幫忙。故A正確。

【3】E 根據(jù)本段第一句Use special words to set the table so that he knows you’re in need可知當(dāng)你請(qǐng)對(duì)方幫忙的時(shí)候，一定要使用合適的詞語。所選答案必須是真誠(chéng)，能夠打動(dòng)對(duì)方的。故E項(xiàng)You can say, “I’m really in trouble. Can you help me?”與之一致。

【4】D 根據(jù)橫線前面句If you’re borrowing money from him, say the amount and the reason why you need the money.當(dāng)你向別人借錢的時(shí)候，要說清楚數(shù)量和借錢的原因，同時(shí)也要說明還錢的時(shí)間。所以D項(xiàng)“Besides, you should tell him when you will give it back.”與前面一句是相通的。

【5】G 根據(jù)橫線前句Ask for help in such a way that you give him the chance to refuse.當(dāng)你請(qǐng)對(duì)方幫忙的時(shí)候，要給對(duì)方拒絕的機(jī)會(huì)。不要讓對(duì)方感覺必須要幫助你，故G項(xiàng)“Make it clear that you completely understand if he can’t help you.”符合上下文。
