in a resigned tone of voice that says that theres nothing that can be done about it.When plaints are made,they are made in an apologetic or a humorous tone of voice.In France,on the other hand,angry passengers might riot(闹事) and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London Underground provides.Americans and other Europeans,who are much more direct and in-your-face than the British,often wonder why British people always say “sorry” or “excuse me”when they plain.“Its like theyre apologizing for something that isnt their fault,”they say.They are missing the point.British people are not really sorryit is because the word “sorry” actually works as a distancing mechanism(技巧).This is important in terms of negative politeness and not drawing attention to yourself.If you do not say “sorry”or use other distancing words like“could”,“would”,“might”,“possibly” and so on,you will be seen as rude.1.What does the underlined part “bottle it up” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Put something into bottles.B.Not do anything dangerous.C.Cause problems by hesitating.D.Not allow emotions to be seen.2.The French tend to .A.tolerate bad serviceB.enjoy taking the subwayC.make a plaint humorouslyD.express their dissatisfaction directly3.When the British say “sorry”,they actually want to .A.try not to be rudeB.apologize sincerelyC.show their feelings directlyD.draw attention to themselves4.Which can be the best title for the text?A.How to plainB.plaining politelyC.Poor service in BritainD.Politeness rules across the worldBEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days,musicians are performing in private homes,at haircutting shops,at airports.even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs,they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O Hair Salon,Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then,they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon,near the hairdryers and makeup tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon,”Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last weeks performance.Frank said she and band members,Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time“interacting” with the audience.Concerts in peoples homes,or small businesses such as O Hairs,are being more popular,musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere,”said Domenic Cicala,a musician who opened up his O Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts,people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often,the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,”said Matt Hart,with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers,a folkrock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts,the musicians do not need microphones.Yet,every word of their songs can be heard.1Why do musicians like house concerts?ABecause private homes are easier to get to.BBecause people pay more attention to their music.CBecause they can do other things while performing.DBecause they dont have to bring their microphones.2What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last weeks performance?AThe small performance space.BHer first show at a hair salon.CTheir interaction with the audience.DThe more relaxed atmosphere.3How many music groups are mentioned in the text?AOne.

(必修4Unit 4)【短文语法填空】.A【解题导语】本文是议论文。英国人通常礼貌地表达不满。1.D词义猜测题。根据上文的people either just do not plain及下文的“.and then explode in an inappropriate outpouring of aggressive plaints.”可推断,英国人有时不抱怨,有时抑制不满的情绪并最终爆发。故画线部分的意思应是“掩盖或抑制情绪或感情”。2.D细节理解题。根据第二段末尾的“In France,on the other hand,angry passengers might riot and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London Underground provides.”可知,法国人常常直接表达自己的不满。3.A细节理解题。根据文章末尾的“If you do not say sorryor use other distancing words.you will be seen as rude.”可知,英国人说“抱歉”,实际上是为了在抱怨时尽量不表现得粗鲁无礼。4.B主旨大意题。本文主要讲英国人抱怨的方式非常委婉、礼貌。故B项正确。B.【解题导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一个旅行作家与他的宠物狗蕾拉的故事。1.A根据下文的“.to follow my dream of being a travel writer.”可知,当时作者即将“辞去(quit)”一份稳定的工作。2.D根据下文的“Layla had me at the first wag.”可知,尽管作者即将辞去一份稳定的工作,但是他一见到蕾拉就毫不犹豫地决定领养它。without a second thought“毫不犹豫”。3.A根据上文的travel writer可推断,此处是说作者写“故事(stories)”的时候。4.C根据上文的have long (often nonverbal)conversations可知,作者和蕾拉彼此互相“交流(municated)”。5.C根据上文的travel writer及When I sat down to write可推断,作者会把自己“写(written)”的东西大声读给蕾拉听。6.B根据上文的“If she turned away to concentrate on cleaning a paw.”可推断,如果看到蕾拉转过脸集中精力于清洁爪子,作者便知道自己写的东西不够好,需要“重新来过(start over)”。7.A当然蕾拉并不“理解(understand)”作者所写的东西。8.D根据蕾拉的反应判断文章的好坏是作者自己修改文章的“方法(means)”。9.D根据上段的描述可知,给蕾拉读自己所写的东西将修改文章的任务变成了一件“乐事(joy)”。10.C因为作者将旅行中的故事讲给蕾拉听,所以蕾拉成了作者旅行中的虚拟“伙伴(partner)”。11.D作者通过观察蕾拉对自己的“作品(work)”的反应迫使自己关注文章的细节。12.A根据第三段中的描述可知,作者给蕾拉讲故事时“仿佛(as though)”蕾拉是一位读者。13.A根据下文的made me a better writer可知,给蕾拉讲自己所写的东西帮助作者“改进(shape)”自己的文章。14.C由第二、三段可知,对作者而言,蕾拉是一位“现成的(ready)”听众。15.D根据第二段开头的“Although disappointed when I went traveling,Layla was always happy when I returned.”及第三段开头的I would read aloud to her what可知,因为作者旅行回来后将旅途中的故事讲给蕾拉听,所以作者旅行时就像有蕾拉“在精神上(mentally)”陪伴他。16.B根据下文的“.because my friend of so long is gone.”可知如今蕾拉去世了,作者很“伤心(heartbroken)”。17.B根据上文的Like many old friends可知,像很多老朋友一样,作者和蕾拉多年来“一起经历了(shared)”很多酸甜苦辣。18.C蕾拉对作者写作的帮助令作者很“感激(grateful)”。19.D根据下文的“I owe a large part to her being at my side.”可知,不论作者作为旅行作家取得了哪些“成功(success)”,他都将其中的很大一部分归功于蕾拉的陪伴。20.A根据第三段开头的I would read aloud to her可知,蕾拉总是在“聆听(listening)”作者的作品。.短文改错Last week I got the first prize in the English Speech Contest held in our school.WhichIt/That made me very excited.I used to be too shy to speak English in the public.It was Susan who asked me practise several times in her office and correctcorrected my pronunciation and intonation.BesideBesides,she encouraged me to be confident and brave whetherif I wanted to show my talent before others.I followed her advicesadvice.That was why I won the first prize.I am deepdeeply moved by what heshe has done for me.I owe her a thousand thanks withfor her kindness.
