26、的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AEllen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.“I suppose I had better go to the doctor,” she thought. She went to the doctor and told him her problem.- 5 -“Im n
27、ot at all surprised,” he said. “Its clear what your problem is.” He examined her and then gave her some advice. “If you dont do what I say, Mrs. Parker” he said, “then you will have a heart attack. It could kill you.”Ellen was very worried as she left the doctors. She knew that she had to take his a
28、dvice but that it would not be easy and that it would take time.The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butchers (卖肉的)shop. “Id like ten pounds of steak, please,” she said. “Certainly, madam,” the butcher replied and went into the cold storage room and found a large piece
29、of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale(盘称). “Thats just under ten pounds,” he said.“Thats big enough,” Mrs. Parker said.The butcher worked out the price. “At $4.99 a pound that will be $45.50 please. Shall I cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”“O
30、h, I dont want to buy the meat,” Mrs. Parker said. “If you dont want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “why did you ask me to get it for you?”“My doctor told me that I am overweight and must lose 10 pounds. I wanted to see what 10 pounds of flesh(肉)looked like.”51. Ellen Parker visited the do
31、ctor because she _.A. had a heart attack B. had a problem with her healthC. was unhappy about her weigh D. could not sleep well52. The doctor advised her to _.A. lose weight B. eat more meatC. come and see him again D. look after her heart53. Ellen Parkers real problem was that _.A. she ate too much
32、 meat B. she weighed too muchC. the doctor did not know D. she could not walk very quickly54. What did the doctor think might happen to Ellen?A. She might put on more weight. B. She might stop eating too much.C. She might have a heart attack. D. She might go to another doctor.BThe hit movie Notting
33、Hill (诺丁山 ）begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into (撞到)Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision (碰撞), Grant repeatedly says: “I am so sorry. I am so sorry”.His behavior in this scene is very British. If Roberts character were from Britain then she would proba
34、bly apologize repeatedly as well even if the collision was not her fault. But this doesnt happen in the film, as Roberts is from the US.A report in The Telegraph last week said that three-quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street - regardless of whether they are
35、responsible or not. In fact, we Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if we mishear someone, we say “Sorry?” The person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “No, I am sorry!” This can go on for a while as we compete over who is the most sorry.Life is never as simple as “
36、duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”.How we use “sorry” has changed. Traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a - 6 -survey in 2007 showed that we use it to mean anything from “What?” to “Whatever!”.Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that our apologet
37、ic tendencies (倾向)are rooted in the British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class. Another theory is that we apologize to avoid confrontation (对抗). For example, if you
38、bump into someone they might get angry. To avoid this we say “Sorry!” right away.True manners are about being considerate (体贴的),and the modern day obsession (执着)with apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? S
39、orry, it might just be a British thing.55. The author mentions a scene in the hit movie Notting Hill at the beginning to _.A. introduce different ways of saying sorryB. give an example of British mannersC. show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UKD. draw our attention to how and when
40、British people say sorry56. Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrell agree with?A. Americans care less about manners than British people do.B. The fact British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.C. British people care too much about which social class they are from.D.
41、People shouldnt apologize if they are not responsible.57. We can conclude from the article that the author thinks _.A. its unnecessary for British people to be so politeB. the obsession with apologizing shows Britons are truly sincereC. Britons should stick to the traditional use of the word sorryD.
42、 the change of how British people use sorry is because of language development58. What is the main point of the article?A. To explore the best way of saying sorry. B. Britons overuse of sorry and why.C. To suggest many British people lack traditional manners.D. To show how saying sorry has changed o
43、ver time.CI work in a US factory that produces 4,500 refrigerators every day. There was one worker in this huge factory who always seemed just a little strange. Ive seen him around for years but never paid him much attention. He is short and scruffy (不整洁的)and walks around this big old factory on his
44、 breaks collecting aluminum cans (铝罐).Over the years I often ran into him as he walked to his old pickup truck on the coldest days with snow blowing and everyone with their collars turned up and their hands in their pockets. He would be there with a garbage bag full of aluminum cans. Hed toss (扔)it
45、into the back of his truck and jump in. Id reach my car and jump in and wed all race to the exit of this big half-empty parking lot.One day I was working on a broken machine in this factory and the can man came by with his bag, picking up cans. Our manager was standing there because the machine I wa
46、s working on had been “down” for a couple of hours and he was getting worried that we might run out of parts for one of the assembly lines (装配线).As I was finishing, I stood up just as the manager asked the can man what he did with all those cans. - 7 -Id never thought to ask him that question becaus
47、e I always just assumed he cashed them in at the recycling center.“I give them to my neighbor. Hes epileptic (有癫痫病的),” the can man said.“You mean youve been collecting all those cans for all these years for your neighbor?” I blurted out.“Its not much,” he said. “But I give them to him. He cant hold
48、a job.”Right then and there I found myself looking straight at him. He was wearing a T-shirt and an old red baseball cap and he had a garbage bag full of aluminum cans in his hand. I dont even know his name, but I thank him for the lesson he taught me.59. How did the author like the can man at first
49、?A. He found the man very kind hearted.B. He didnt like making friends with the man.C. He thought it would be better to stay away from the man.D. He thought the man was strange because he was always collecting cans.60. What does the underlined phrase “blurted out” probably mean?A. spoke out without thinking B. screamed becaus
