一、短文填空
When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For 1 , you may ask “Where is the supermarket ” or “Could you tell me where the supermarket is ” Both are correct, 2 the first one sounds less polite. So we need to learn how to be polite when we ask 3 help. Good speakers change the way they speak in 4 situations. It 5 on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. It’s OK to ask your friends directly. 6 , it’s not polite to ask your teacher a question like “When is the school trip ”
Usually polite questions are 7 . The request like “Peter, tell me your email address.” is not polite, because the expression is short. But the request like “Peter, could you please tell me when the school trip 8 ” is more polite, and the expression is longer.
Though it seems more difficult to speak politely than directly, it’s important to learn how to use 9 right language. This will 10 you communicate better. It’s a necessary skill when you go to a foreign country.
阅读短文，用括号内所给词的正确形式或根据首字母填空，使短文完整、正确。
It’s important to use the correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough — we need to learn how to be polite when we make 11 (request).
In English, “Where are the restrooms ” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are ” are similar requests, but the first could sound 12 (polite).
In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when 13 (talk) with different people. If you say to your teacher “Where is my book ”, this will sound rude. B 14 if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know where my book is ”, your question will sound much m 15 polite. On the o 16 hand, it might be all right to say “Where is my book ” in some 17 (situation), perhaps with people you know well.
And you would not usually say, “Peter, lend me your pen.” To order 18 (direct) like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are 19 (long) and include the extra language, such as “Could you please … ” or “Can I ask … ” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please l 20 me your pen ” Sometimes we might even need to spend some time leading into a question or a request.
Alice and He Wei went to the Fun Times Park for a visit. First, they 21 in Space World. Alice was 22 of trying the new ride because she thought it was scary.

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.

答案 C A B C D
1．example 2．but 3．for 4．different 5．depends 6．However 7．longer 8．is 9．the 10．help
【导语】本文主要讲述了如何礼貌地寻求帮助。
1．句意：例如，你可能会问“超市在哪里？”或者“你能告诉我超市在哪里吗？”结合空前的For和“you may ask ‘Where is the supermarket ’ or ‘Could you tell me where the supermarket is ’”可知，空后在举例，所以空处应填example，构成短语for example“例如”。故填example。
2．句意：两句都是正确的，但第一句听起来不太礼貌。分析“Both are correct...the first one sounds less polite.”可知，前后句是转折关系，连词but“但是”符合语境。故填but。
3．句意：所以我们需要学会当我们寻求帮助时如何变得有礼貌。根据“when we ask...help”可知，本题考查短语ask for help“寻求帮助”。故填for。
4．句意：优秀的说话者会在不同的情况下改变他们说话的方式。分析“Good speakers change the way they speak in...situations.”可知，此处表示在不同的情况下，短语in different situations意为“在不同的情况下”。故填different。
5．句意：这取决于他们在和谁说话，或者他们彼此有多了解。分析“It...on whom they are speaking to”可知，本题考查动词短语depend on“取决于”，此处表示现在所存在的情况，应用一般现在时，主语It表示单数，所以depend要变成第三人称单数形式depends。故填depends。
6．句意：然而，问老师类似“学校旅行是什么时候？”这样的问题是不礼貌的。分析“It’s OK to ask your friends directly...it’s not polite to ask your teacher a question like ‘When is the school trip ’”可知，空处前后是转折关系，结合空处在句中的位置和空后的逗号可知，空处应用however“然而”表示转折，句首首字母h要大写。故填However。
7．句意：通常礼貌的问题会更长。根据下文“But the request like...is more polite, and the expression is longer.”可知，此处表示通常礼貌的问题会更长。空处应填比较级longer。故填longer。
8．句意：彼得，你能告诉我学校旅行是什么时候吗？分析“could you please tell me when the school trip... ”可知，空处是be动词，结合语境可知，时态是一般现在时，从句主语the school trip表示单数，所以应用be动词is。故填is。
9．句意：虽然礼貌地说话似乎比直白地说话更难，但学会如何使用正确的语言是很重要的。此处表示特指，应用定冠词the。故填the。
10．句意：这会帮助你更好地沟通。分析“This will...you communicate better.”可知，空处意为“帮助”，动词help符合语境，will后接动词原形。故填help。
11．requests 12．impolite 13．talking 14．(B)ut 15．(m)ore 16．(o)ther 17．situations 18．directly 19．longer 20．(l)end
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英语口语交际中如何得体和礼貌地表达请求。
11．句意：使用正确的语言是很重要的，但有时单凭这一点是不够的——我们需要学会如何在提出要求时保持礼貌。make后面应接名词，request“请求”是可数名词，此处表示泛指，应用复数。故填requests。
12．句意：在英语中，“洗手间在哪里 ”和“你能告诉我洗手间在哪里吗？”都是类似的请求，但第一个听起来可能不礼貌。sound为连系动词，后接形容词作表语，第一个请求“Where are the restrooms ”是相对更直接的请求，不够委婉，因此听起来不礼貌。sound是系动词，后面应接形容词，polite表示“礼貌的”，此处应填反义词impolite“不礼貌的”。故填impolite.
13．句意：在英语中，就像在汉语中一样，当我们与不同的人交谈时，我们会改变我们说话的方式。when表示“当……时”，talk是动词，when后面所接动词应改为动名词形式，故填talking。
14．句意：但如果你说：“打扰一下，韦斯特先生。你知道我的书在哪里吗？”，你的问题听起来会显得礼貌多了。前文举出谈话时欠缺礼貌的表达“Where is my book ”，本句举出礼貌的表达“Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know where my book is ”，前后是转折关系，结合首字母提示，应填but（但是）。故填(B)ut。
15．句意：但如果你说：“打扰一下，韦斯特先生。你知道我的书在哪里吗？”，你的问题听起来会显得礼貌多了。本句举出礼貌的表达“Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know where my book is ”，表明这样说听起来礼貌多了，much修饰形容词比较级，根据首字母提示，应填more（更加）。故填(m)ore。
16．句意：另一方面，也许在某些情况下对你很熟悉的人说“我的书在哪里？”也是妥当的。根据首字母提示，这里应是固定短语on the other hand，表示“另一方面”。故填(o)ther。
17．句意：另一方面，也许在某些情况下对你很熟悉的人说“我的书在哪里？”也是妥当的。some后面应接可数名词复数，situation“情况”为可数名词，in some situations为固定短语，表示“在某些情况下”。故填situations。
18．句意：像这样直接给出命令在英语中听起来很粗鲁。分析句子结构可知，空格处应是副词修饰order，表示直接地命令。direct“直接的”是形容词，副词形式为directly“直接地”。故填directly。
19．句意：在英语中，礼貌提问的句子通常较长，并且包含额外的语言，例如“请问你可以……吗 ”或者“我能问一下……吗 ”根据“include the extra language”和句子中举出的例子可知，在英语中礼貌提问的句子包含额外的语言，通常较长。空格处应填形容词比较级，long“长的”，其比较级为longer“更长的”。故填longer。
20．句意：“彼得，你能把笔借给我吗 ”这样说听起来更礼貌些。根据前文“Peter, lend me your pen.”可知，本段针对这一句话，对如何礼貌表达请求展开说明，本句是关于借笔的礼貌请求，lend表示“借”，could后面应接动词原形。故填(l)end。
21．arrived 22．afraid 23．when/if 24．shouting 25．until 26．hungry 27．On 28．It 29．interested 30．playing
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Alice和He Wei在快乐时光公园游玩的经历。
21．句意：首先，他们到达了太空世界。根据空后介词“in”可知，此处是指到达太空世界，考查arrive in“到达”，动词短语；句子时态为一般过去时，谓语动词应用过去式arrived。故填arrived。
22．句意：Alice害怕尝试新乘骑项目，因为她觉得很吓人。根据下文“because she thought it was scary”可知，此处是指Alice害怕新乘骑项目，考查be afraid of“害怕”，形容词短语。故填afraid。
23．句意：He Wei建议她在害怕的时候大声喊叫或握住他的手。分析句子结构可知，“she was scared”为大声喊叫或者握手的时间或者条件，应用when或者if引导状语从句。故填when/if。
24．句意：骑完之后，Alice告诉He Wei，大声喊叫确实有帮助，而且乘骑项目很有趣。根据上文“to shout”可知，此处是指大声喊叫确实有帮助，考查shout“喊叫”，动词；分析句子结构可知，此处应用动名词形式shouting作从句的主语。故填shouting。
25．句意：直到尝试过我们才会知道。根据“We never know … we try something.”可知，此处是指尝试后才会知道，考查until“直到……才”，连词，引导时间状语从句。故填until。
