Question

完形填空：（1’*10=10’）

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 himself 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 really understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the west, 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 instead of 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 expect to get it . So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了中國人和西方人對(duì)待人們的稱贊的不同表達(dá)方式。當(dāng)中國人有人稱贊時(shí)，會(huì)說“不，自己恐怕做的不好”，這是表示謙虛。但是在西方，當(dāng)有人稱贊時(shí)，他會(huì)感到驕傲和自信，會(huì)說“謝謝”。在西方如果你總是說“我做的不好”，會(huì)被其他人瞧不起。

1. excited感到激動(dòng)的；B. surprised 感到驚訝的；C. relaxed放松的；D. frightened害怕的。 根據(jù)前文的“ You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “ No, no. My English is very poor.” 可知這個(gè)美國男孩和這個(gè)女孩的觀點(diǎn)不一致，因此這個(gè)美國男孩感到驚訝，故選B。句意：這個(gè)美國男孩對(duì)她的回答感到非常驚訝。

2. A. heard 聽見，B. watched 觀看；C. listened to 聽；D. looked at看。與Thinking he had not made himself understood “沒說明白”意思相近的意思，應(yīng)是女孩沒聽見他的話，故選A。句意：他認(rèn)為他沒說明白，或者這個(gè)女孩沒有聽清楚自己說的話。

3. A. Though盡管；B. Although盡管；C. Or 或者；D. But但是。根據(jù)the girl still kept saying, “ No.” 可知這個(gè)美國男孩說這個(gè)女孩的英語說得好，女孩一直說自己的英語不好，前后表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故用連詞but，故選D。句意：但是這個(gè)女孩一直說：“不”。

4. when何時(shí)；B. which哪一個(gè)；C. what什么；D. how如何。動(dòng)詞know后面的賓語從句中作為動(dòng)詞say的賓語，應(yīng)用代詞what, 故選C。句意：最后，這個(gè)美國男孩無法理解，也不知道說什么。

5. A. Receive（表示客觀上）收到；B. accept（表示主觀上）接受；C. refuse拒絕；D. disagree不同意。此處表示主觀上接受別人的恭維，故選B。句意：她沒有像美國人一樣接受恭維。

6. dutiful忠實(shí)的；B. modest謙虛的；C. shameful可恥的；D. confident自信的。和proud“驕傲”表示并列關(guān)系，意思相近的詞應(yīng)是自信，故選D。句意：在西方，人們被稱贊時(shí)，他們感到驕傲、自信。

7. dishes 菜肴； B. cups杯子；C. glasses眼鏡； D. bowls碗。have cooked故選A。句意：所以如果有人說你做的菜非常好吃，你應(yīng)說“謝謝”。

8. think認(rèn)為；B. say 說；C. ask問；D. mean意味著。根據(jù)短語mean doing sth“意味著做某事”，故選D。句意：但是，依我來看，自信并不意味著驕傲。

9. Until 直到； B. Unless除非；C. Whether是否；D. If如果。此處表示條件，故用連詞if來引導(dǎo)，故選D。句意：如果你謙虛，你可以說“不，恐怕我做的不好。”

10. another另一個(gè)；B. the other 其他的；C. the others 其他的（人或物）；D. others其他一些。此處表示被其他一些人瞧不起，而不是所有其他人，故選D。句意：如果你經(jīng)常說“不”，你一定會(huì)被其他人看不起。

考點(diǎn)：社會(huì)政治經(jīng)濟(jì)文化類短文。
