                                 C

It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's every?where. When squeezing (擠)past someone in a narrow aisle (通道),people say "sorry". When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things.

After all, squeezing past others sometimes can't be avoided and the bus driver is merely doing his job. I used to think the same way, without ques?tioning it, until I started travelling to the British Isles and came to appreci?ate some more polite ways of communicating with people.

People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customers and retail assistants in most ca?ses thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one "thank you" in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposed to Germans, who would normal?ly think that paying their workers money is already enough.

Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers stressed several times but none, of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criti?cism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is shown in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to meals than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men. Yes, the latter are a bit tight-fisted.

8.  What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?

A. He appreciates it.           B. He gives no personal opinion.

C.  He thinks it is just an act.   D. He thinks it goes too far.

9.  What can we learn about customers and retail assistants in Germany?

  A.  It's always retail assistants who say thank you.

B.  Customers never say thank you to retail assistants.

C.  They always say thank you to each other.

D.  They may say thank you only once.

 10.  We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men___ .

 A.  are more likely to be involved in a fight !

 B.  are not so willing to spend money for women

C.  are more polite than English men

D.  treat women in a polite way

11.     The author develops the text through the method of____ .

A. giving comments              B. telling stories

C. making comparisons           D. giving reasons

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:

 No one can believe that the over 6,300 kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not,the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect,but about 80 percent is in danger.

  The Great Wall can be called "great" mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall,it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site. The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2 , 000 years. It began in the rule of China's first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC―206 BC) ,and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu, because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.

  Few local people knew the 3-meter-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind man-made destroy. The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties. Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrances. Rubbish is spread over the battlements. The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor-load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name,but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out the entire base.

  It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all,the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization and learn to love it.

(   ) 1. Why does the writer say the Great Wall might disappear?

A.     All parts of it are in danger now.

B.     Too many tourists have been there, leaving too much rubbish.

C.     Some parts of it are being destroyed.

D.     It is too old to be used again.

(   ) 2. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A.     The Great Wall was completed in the Ming Dynasty.

B.     Not all the foreign tourists like the Great Wall.

C.     The first part of the Great Wall was built in 221 BC.

D.     The Qin Great Wall was protected well.

(   ) 3. The underlined part "those sections far away from the public eyes" (in Paragraph 2)
refers to the parts of the Great Wall      

A.     that are too difficult to find

B.     that nobody can watch

C.     that are too far to be seen

D.     that are not well-known to the public

(   ) 4. What's the main reason of the Great Wall's being destroyed?

A.     The local people are short of culture knowledge.

B.     The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.

C.     The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.

D.     The local people sell the bricks for a living.
