Ⅱ.阅读理解
“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile,I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day.Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words came out in the same tone(腔调) with a fixed procedure.They_are_spoken_at_me,not_to_me.Obviously,the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it,you know the meeting at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say.“Oh,you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry,but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you,you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is insincere,meaningless social custom at times,there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl,the waitress,the teacher,and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way,it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere,it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
1.How does the author understand Maxie’s words?
A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D.Maxie really worries about the author’s security.
答案 B
解析 根据“I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.”可知答案为B项。
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.The salesgirl is rude.
B.The salesgirl is bored.
C.The salesgirl cares about me.
D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
答案 D
解析 划线句的前一句说明售货员用公式化的腔调,可知答案为D项。
3.By saying “Have a nice day”,a stranger may ________.
A.try to be polite to you
B.express respect to you
C.give his blessing to you
D.share his pleasure with you
答案 A
解析 第四段和最后一段“pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much”表明说这句话只是出于礼貌。
4.According to the last paragraph,people say“Have a nice day” ________.
A.sincerely
B.as thanks
C.as a habit
D.encouragingly
答案 C
解析 最后一段的“meaningless social custom at times”表明说这些话是社会习俗,最接近的就是C项——习惯。
5.What is the best title of the passage?
A.Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom
B.Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture
C.Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting
D.Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation
答案 A
解析 这篇文章的最后一段告诉读者:不管说have a nice day是否真诚,但总要说。
Ⅲ.微写作
写作素材
1.我们语文老师在上课时滑了一下摔倒了。
2.她的右腿断了。
3.她坚持继续工作。
4.我们很受感动。
(素材来源于2011·北京·情景作文)
提示:尽量使用高级表达:it作形式主语以及并列句式的运用。
连句成篇(将以上句子连成一篇50词左右的英语短文)
Our Chinese teacher slipped and fell in class,and it turned out that her right leg was broken.She continued her work and we were deeply moved.
1.pretend v.假装 pretend to do...假装做…… pretend to be doing...假装正在做…… pretend to have done...假装做了……
2.have...in mind记住…… bear/keep...in mind记住…… read one’s mind读出某人的心思 on one’s mind在某人的心头 make up one’s mind下定决心
3.speaking of 说到;谈及 so to speak可以说 nothing to speak of不值一提 speak ill of说……的坏话 speak highly of高度评价
4.at an end结束 bring...to an end结束…… come to an end结束 make ends meet使收支相抵
5.When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile,I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.
句中when引导时间状语从句,主句中含有一个宾语从句she sincerely...,在该从句中又包含一个what引导的宾语从句,作介词about的宾语。
完形填空题的得分策略
1.重视语境关系
在解题过程中,考生不可忽略语境关系,不能只根据空格处内容进行选择,而应该准确把握上下文的语境。
2.把握文章大意,注重整体理解
解答完形填空题时,考生首先应该把握文章的大意,对文章进行整体把握,避免做过题后才猛然发现与文章的大意冲突或矛盾。如本节完形填空中的第3空At that time,Glen,who already got a Ph.D.degree,__3__ to return to the homeland,starting a company.
A.decided
B.refused
C.objected
D.asked
如果仅从这一句话来看,很难确定正确答案是哪一个,答案提示出现在最后一段“After returning to the homeland...”,可知作者回到了自己的国家,故用decided。因此做完形填空题时,要从整体上对文章进行把握,一个空格暂时无把握可以先放过去,有时答案提示出现在文章的末尾,故不要急于作答。
