24、  

If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault (过错)or not.

It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry. Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day—and one in eight people apologizes as many as 20 times a day.

As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other cultures. Research shows that in many cases, people’s love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, about 15 British people would say “sorry” while only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed, if they corrected someone’s mistake or if someone knocked into them.

In the old days, “sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”, “pardon”, “what” or “whatever”.

People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feelings with others—so they might say “sorry about the rain”.

However, British people’s use of “sorry” may make things very confusing and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the reason why they apologize every day.

【1】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.What daily expressions Britain people often use.

B.How people in Britain keep in touch with foreigners.

C.The different meanings of sorry in and out of Britain.

D.Why British people say sorry many times every day.

【2】In the old days, people said sorry when they   .

A.did something wrong B.asked the way C.wanted to repeat something D.made a choice

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Americans say sorry more than British people.

B.Even British people get confused when they say sorry.

C.Almost every person in Britain says sorry 20 times a day.

D.The British also say sorry to share the same feelings with others.

【4】What does the underlined word “confusing” mean in the last paragraph?

A.令人困惑的 B.豁然开朗的 C.不拘礼节的 D.清晰明了的

【5】From the passage we can learn that British people   .

A.like to talk about the weather

B.care a lot about others

C.are difficult to get along with

D.love to correct mistakes

25、Sir Steven Redgrave—Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病), believing the profession(职业) trained for the whole of my life ended, I felt very sorry. Then one of my friends said there was no reason why I should stop training. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

Karen Pickering—Swimming World Champion (冠军)

“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that amount（总数） of work by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a profession in any field without being well-organized. Make a list of what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

Kristen Stewart—Actress

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve anything. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to give most of your attention to one thing. When I feel nervous, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and improves my confidence. This is a habit and is a powerful psychological(心理学的) tool.”

【1】 The underlined word “ distractions” probably means ________.

A. good habits

B. things that make one tired

C. words to enjoy

D. things that turn one’s attention away

【2】The same character of the three people is________.

A. humour   B. happiness

C. self-confidence   D. wisdom

【3】The best title for the passage is ________.

A. Health and Food

B. How to Be a Winner

C. Difficulties and Habits

D. Be a Sportsman

26、   Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported. Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged(扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.

Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.

Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.

“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.

He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.

Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.

27、“Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）.

For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That’s partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn’t tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus（关注）on subjects that are tested more often.

However, learning music is useful in many ways.

When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck did well in playing the piano.

【1】Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ______.

A. they were too difficult to learn   B. students in the US weren’t interested in music

C. the schools wanted to control budgets   D. there weren’t enough music teachers in the US

【2】In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them” refer to（指代）?

A. Fired teachers.   B. Public schools.   C. Parents in Chicago.   D. Students in Chicago.

【3】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A. Playing the piano needs people to see music notes.

B. Playing the piano needs people to use fingers to make sounds.

C. Decoding music notes is needed while we are playing music.

D. Different abilities are needed to work together while we are playing music.

【4】How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage?

A. One.   B. Two.   C. Three.   D. Four.

【5】What’s the writer’s opinion according to this passage?

A. Music is as simple as it looks.   B. Music classes should be cut in some schools.

C. Music is a big part of our lives.   D. Music isn’t a very important life skill for us.
