大家一定要把握好高中的学习,多练习,为高考奋战,小编为大家整理了高中英语完形填空题与解析:讲究礼貌的英国人,希望对大家有帮助。
The British love to think of themselves as polite and everyone knows how fond they are of their "pleases" and "thank you ". Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires___11___seven or eight of these. Another___12___of our good manners is the queue. New-comers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather than football was the___13___national sport. Finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings. But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbours? I think not.
Take forms of address (称呼) for example. The average English person-- ___14 ___he happens to work in a hotel or department store--would rather die than call a stranger "Sir" or "Madam". Yet in some European countries this is the most basic of common address. Our___15___ "you" for everyone may appear more democratic,but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express___16___. I am all for returning to the use of "thee" and "thou" (Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for "you"); "you" would be___17___for strangers and professional relationships.
And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed how the British___18___ever touch? Personally, I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming. Try kissing the average English persons, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror; or, if their escape is___19___, you will find your lips touching the back of their head. Now what could be ___20___ than that?

解题分析 |
11 |
A |
逻辑推理词义比较 |
举这个例子是为了说明英国人对礼貌的注重程度,就连买火车票这样一件小事也至少要说七八次“pleases”和“thank you”。at least至少,言其多;at most至多,言其少;less than较少;not more than不超过。因此答案选A更能体现作者的这种目的。 |
12 |
C |
词义辨析 |
另一个表明英国人礼貌注重程度的标志(sign)是排队。sign迹象、征兆或标志、记号,目的是证明某一事情的正确性;signal信号,暗号;scene场面, 情景, 景色;sight情景,风景,看法。 |
13 |
A |
词义比较逻辑推理 |
初到英国的人由此甚至会认为在英国排队较之足球更为重要。original意为原始的;superior意为优秀的;advanced意为先进的,但根据作者表达意图,选A true(真正的)主要是为了衬托排队在英国人眼里的重要性,用football是广为人知的民族运动来比较。 |
14 |
D |
词义比较 逻辑推理 |
这是一个有双破折号隔开的插入语,起补充说明的作用。我们可以根据插入语与整个句子的关系来判断,一般人是宁死也不称呼陌生人“sir” or "Madam"的,但在旅馆和超市工作的人除外,所以答案选D,意为“除非”。if表示条件;whether表示或然;when表示时间;unless表示排除。 |
15 |
A |
词义比较 |
you对我们来说是个共同的、一致的、民众的(democratic)称呼。universal普遍的, 全体的, 通用的;unique唯一的, 独特的;regular规则的, 有秩序的, 经常的;normal正常的, 正规的。 |
16 |
A |
逻辑推理 词义比较 |
因为you是一个共同的、一致的、民众的称呼,所以我们不得已找非常复杂的词来表达出我们的礼貌(politeness)。而且本文主要讲的是礼貌问题,与感激(gratitude),体贴(consideration),民主(democracy)关系不大。 |
17 |
B |
词义比较 |
thee and thou是古英语,一般用于熟悉、亲密的人之间。作者的意思是说,如果现在还用thee and thou的话,you也就只用于职业场所或陌生人了。order预订;offer提供;stock存储、储备;reserve保存, 保留。相比较而言,reserve与原文意思相符,故答案选B。 |
18 |
C |
词义比较 |
你注意到过英国人从来不相互接触吗?因为下文列举的是一些令人难以置信的例子,目的是证明作者的观点。下面的例子在人们看来显得不合情理,难以置信,于是这里选C,hardly意为不合情理,不大可能发生。highly高地, 非常;mostly主要地, 大部分, 通常;nearly几乎, 密切地。 |
19 |
D |
词义比较 |
如果你去亲吻一般的英国人,他们会恐惧地后退两步,而要是英国人躲 闪不及的话,你就会吻在他们的后脑勺上。confirmed证实的,不会改变的;assured意为自信,有把握的;jammed阻塞的, 堵塞的;blocked被障碍的,被阻止的。根据you'll find your lips…判断,答案应该是D。 |
20 |
B |
逻辑推理 |
还有什么比这更粗鲁无礼的呢?that指的是前一句描述的"Your lips touching the back of their head",这相对于polite来说是一种相当粗鲁无礼的(rude)的行为,所以答案选B。 |
