三、阅读理解-阅读选择（共2小题；共24分）
阅读选择
"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other, but "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't have an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine." even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine." isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello!" or "Hi!".
Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?" the other person might be thinking, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong." But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not so sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.
People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I have to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: "Someone's at the door." "Something is burning on the stove (火炉)." The excuse might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's a part of the game of language.
26. When a person in the United States asks "How are you?", he or she wants to hear "_____".
A.How are you?
B.Hello.
C.I don't know.
D.Fine.
27. A polite way to finish a talk is to say "_____."
A.You have to go now
B.I want to hang up
C.I have to go now
D.I don't want to talk
28. When a person says "I have to go now. Someone's at the door.", the person may be _____.
A.giving an excuse
B.hurting someone's feelings
C.talking to a person at the door
D.going to another place

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的选项中，选择最佳选项。
Did you know the meaning of a word may change over time? Many English words we know now had different meanings a long time ago. One example is the word nice.
Around the year 1300, nice was first used in English to mean "silly". Two hundred years later, nice began to carry a "better" meaning. If people said a book was written nicely, they meant the book was written "clearly" or "carefully", not "silly". After 1800, nice began to take its meaning like "kind" or "friendly". Since then, people have thought of nice as a word with good meanings. A good change of a word's meaning like this example of nice is called AMELIORATION. Though we don't use nice to mean "silly" any more, it is fun to know how much a word's meaning can change from its start!
For more examples of AMELIORATION, see next page.
29. The passage is most probably taken from _____.
A.the Internet
B.a novel
C.a guidebook
D.a storybook
30. 1300 years ago, when people said "a nice person", they meant "a _____ person".
A.smart
B.happy
C.silly
D.lovely
31. AMELIORATION in the passage means _____.
A.区别
B.趣味
C.词汇
D.改进

参考范文：
Dear Mike,
How is everything going? I am very glad to hear that you are coming to Chengdu this winter. It's not necessary to worry about your Chinese. I'd like to share my ideas, which I think might help.
First, be brave enough to speak Chinese when you communicate with others. It's of great importance to be confident about yourself. We Chinese are very friendly, so you needn't be afraid of making any mistakes. Besides, it will be better if you speak slowly and clearly. In this way you can make yourself understood more easily. What's more, sometimes you can use drawings or pictures, and as you know, body language is also widely used among cultures and very often it really works.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
