三、阅读单选
Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this. If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question. If you don’t know, it’s possible to ask for something with a yes or no question. Be careful not to use the direct expressions. In other words, don’t say “Give me that”, but ask kindly as the following examples, “Do you have a pen I could borrow ” “Is there any wine ” “Did you buy any bread ”
If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with “could”, “may” or “might”. It’s also possible to use “can” in some special situations. In the past, “can” was not used when people asked for something, but meant ability. In the UK, people mainly use “Can you lend me… ” or “Can I have… ” In the US, this is still considered to be wrong and “May I have… ” is preferred.
It’s common to use “Could you lend/hand/give… ” You can also use: “May/Can I borrow… ” “Could/Can you lend me… ” “May I have… ” “Could you hand/give me… ” Do not begin a sentence with “please”, but you can add “please” at the end of the sentence to be polite.
16．What can we ask if we know someone has something
A．A direct question. B．A no question.
C．A yes question. D．A polite question.
17．What can Lucy say politely if she wants some coffee
A．Pass me some coffee.
B．Is there any coffee
C．Give me some coffee.
D．Take some coffee to me.
18．What didn’t people say when they wanted something politely in the past
A．Can I use your dictionary
B．Could you lend me your bike
C．May I try your computer now
D．Might I take your car today
19．Which of the following is a correct polite expression according to the passage
A．Do you give me any milk, please
B．Please could you lend me your ruler
C．May I have some tea, please
D．Please could you hand me a knife
20．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．How to express or ask politely.
B．What to do when we are polite.
C．How to describe our ideas.
D．What to do with our language problems.
【答案】
16．D
17．B
18．A
19．C
20．A
【分析】
这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述在英语中应该怎样礼貌地表达或询问。
16．
细节理解题。根据第一段“If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question”如果你知道某人有某样东西，你可以礼貌地询问要求这样东西。故选D。
17．
推理判断题。根据“but ask kindly as the following examples, ‘Do you have a pen I could borrow ’ ‘Is there any wine ’ ‘Did you buy any bread ’ ”可知如果想要咖啡可以礼貌地说“Is there any coffee ”。故选B。
18．
推理判断题。根据第二段“In the past, ‘can’ was not used when people asked for something, but meant ability”在过去，当人们要某物时can不被使用，因为can表示能力。可知在过去人们不会用“Can I use your dictionary”。故选A。
19．
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with ‘could’, ‘may’ or ‘might’ ”礼貌的问句中使用could，may或者might；排除A选项。根据最后一段“but you can add ‘please’ at the end of the sentence to be polite”在句子的末尾用please表示礼貌；排除B和D。C选项表述礼貌。故选C。
20．
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this”可知文章主要讲述在英语中应该怎样礼貌地表达或询问。可概括为How to express or ask politely。故选A。

23．Tom __________（do）come early yesterday.

25．This kind of animal __________（normal）comes out at night.
【答案】
21．Central
22．turn
23．did
24．mailing
25．normally
【解析】
21．句意：许多人正在中央公园锻炼。
park是名词，要用形容词修饰，center的形容词形式是central；由Park的首字母为大写可知此处为专有名词，central的首字母也要大写，故填Central。
22．句意：请你把收音机的声音关小一点好吗
“Could you please... ”用于客气的请求，意为“请你……好吗？”，情态动词could后接原形动词。turn down关小，根据句意结构和所给单词提示，可知填turn。
23．句意：汤姆昨天确实来早了。
本句do在句中表强调；根据yesterday可知句子用一般过去时，故填did。
24．句意：他已经寄出了一封信。
finish doing sth.是固定结构，意为“做完某事”。根据句意结构和所给单词提示，可知填mailing。
25．句意：这种动物通常在晚上出来。
空格处修饰动词短语comes out，故用normal的副词形式normally。

【详解】
根据than可知，此处是考查副词比较级，用来修饰动词did，even甚至。故填even；better。
27．这部电影以一首动听的歌曲开始。

【答案】starts/begins with
【详解】
由汉语意思可知，所填词表达“以……开始”，start/begin with以……开始，为固定搭配。且此句应用一般现在时，主语this movie表示第三人称单数，故start/begin用第三人称单数形式，故填starts/begins with。
28．我准备在网上查找一些有关我们镇的信息。
I prepare to look up ____________our town on the Internet.
【答案】some information about
【详解】
根据句意可知，some information 一些信息，information是不可数名词；about介词，关于；some information about...关于……的信息。故填some information about。
29．你能告诉我在哪里能买到这本书吗？
Could you please tell me _________________
【答案】where I can buy this book
【详解】
Could you please...表示语气委婉，不是一般过去时。空格处是宾语从句，要注意语序和时态。根据语境问的是现在的情况，所以宾语从句用一般现在时。哪里where，引导宾语从句；买到这本书：buy this book；我能I can，情态动词后跟动词原形。故填where I can buy this book。

三、阅读单选
Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unlucky, I am one of them. I never ask people for directions, because I often receive helpless or even wrong information. And I am afraid of giving people wrong directions. So if anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work, I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I had to rush because I was almost late for an important meeting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!

四、用所给单词的正确形式填空

world.
23．It is not _______ (safely) to play with fire.

25．The movie is so __________ (interest).
【答案】
21．uncrowded
22．fascinating
23．safe
24．inexpensive
25．interesting
【分析】
21．句意：现在购物广场有很少的人，它是不拥挤的。根据There are few people可知，few表示几乎没有，具有否定意义，所以空格处应该是不拥挤的。故答案为uncrowded
22．句意：纽约是最令人兴奋和最令人着迷的城市之一。空格后是名词，所以这里应该用形容词的形式。故答案为fascinating
23．句意：玩火是不安全的。空格前有系动词is，所以应该用形容词。这里是句式It is+形容词+to do sth做某事是怎样的。故答案为safe
24．句意：这件外衣不贵，它仅仅30元。根据only 30 yuan.可知，这里指强调钱少。inexpensive不贵。故答案为inexpensive
25．句意：电影是很有趣的。空格前有系动词is，所以应该用形容词。这里句子的主语movie是物，所以应该用interesting，“人感到有趣”用：interested.故答案为interesting
五、完成句子
26．我们期盼他准时到来。
We are ________ ________ ________ his coming on time.
【答案】looking forward to
【详解】
此处考查固定词组，look forward to doing sth期盼做某事；且根据句意可知是现在进行时表将来，结构是am/is/are doing。故填looking；forward；to。
27．王老师花了三个小时检查学生的作业。
Mr. Wang ________ three hours ________ the students’ homework.
【答案】spent checking
【详解】
由汉语和所给的英语翻译可知，spend意为“花费”；check意为“检查”；此处是spend time (in) doing sth.花费时间做某事；由语境可知，此处使用一般过去时，描述过去发生的事情，动词需用过去式。故填spent；checking。
28．我们中国人常说：“礼多人不怪”。
We Chinese people often say, “You can _________________________.”
【答案】never be too polite
【详解】
根据中英文对照可知，缺少“礼多人不怪”，可译为“再礼貌也不为过”。never be too+adj.表示“再……也不为过”；too后接形容词，polite“礼貌的”。故填never be too polite。
29．我们可以把这个话题引入一场热烈的讨论中。
We can __________ this topic __________ a heated discussion.
【答案】lead into
【详解】
根据汉语提示，can 情态动词，后加动词原形；短语lead...into....把……引入……；故填lead into。
30．求助时你应该使用一些礼貌的语言。
You should use some polite words when ________ ________ help.
【答案】asking for
【详解】
根据中英文对比分析可知，缺失内容为“求”，其英文为ask for。根据题干You should use some polite words.”可知，“when...help”这里省略了主语you以及谓语动词are，所以应将ask变成asking。故填asking；for。

三、阅读单选
Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this. If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question. If you don’t know, it’s possible to ask for something with a yes or no question. Be careful not to use the direct expressions. In other words, don’t say “Give me that”, but ask kindly as the following examples, “Do you have a pen I could borrow ” “Is there any wine ” “Did you buy any bread ”
If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with “could”, “may” or “might”. It’s also possible to use “can” in some special situations. In the past, “can” was not used when people asked for something, but meant ability. In the UK, people mainly use “Can you lend me… ” or “Can I have… ” In the US, this is still considered to be wrong and “May I have… ” is preferred.
It’s common to use “Could you lend/hand/give… ” You can also use: “May/Can I borrow… ” “Could/Can you lend me… ” “May I have… ” “Could you hand/give me… ” Do not begin a sentence with “please”, but you can add “please” at the end of the sentence to be polite.
