【题目】根据短文内容,判断正误。
“How are you?”is a nice question. It's a friendly way for Americans to greet each other. But“How are you?”is also a very unusual question. It often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks“How are you?”hopes to hear the answer“Fine”even if the person's friend isn't fine. In fact, they are not really a question or 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 think,“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 afraid …”It's a nicer way to disagree.
People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many phone talks finish when one person says“I have to go now.”Often, the person who wants to finish the phone call gives an excuse,“Someone's at the door.”The excuse might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to finish the phone call simply doesn't want to talk anymore, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.
When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, thinking of finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking about. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it is part of the game of language.
(1)“How are you?”is another way of saying“Hello”or“Hi”.
(2)It is polite to say“No,I disagree. I think you are wrong”if you don't agree with others.
(3)When someone says“I have to go now”on the phone, it means he wants to go on talking.
(4)“Someone is at the door ”may be an excuse for finishing a phone call.
(5)Sometimes, people don't say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to be nice to each other.

【答案】
(1)正确
(2)错误
(3)错误
(4)正确
(5)正确
【解析】中美之间有着不同的文化背景,这篇文章将教会你如何打招呼,如何学会更有礼貌的拒绝。
(1)由第一段的最后一句话:They are simply other ways of saying “Hello”or“Hi”.可知,How are you只是见面打招呼的寒暄话,与原文相符,所以答案是正确。
(2)由第二段中But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say,“I'm afraid …”It's a nicer way to disagree.可知,直接拒绝别人是不礼貌的行为,与原文不符,所以答案是错误。
(3)由第三段第二行For example, many phone talks finish when one person says” I have to go now.可知,当有人说我现在必须走了,打电话应该终止,而不是想继续打电话,与原文不符,所以答案是错误。
(4)由第三段the person who wants to finish the phone call gives an excuse,” Someone's at the door.”可知,有人在敲门,无论真假,只是不想打电话的一种托辞,与原文相符,所以答案是正确。
(5)由原文最后一段people don't say exactly what they are thinking about. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other可知,人们不说出自己的真实想法,学会更有礼貌的拒绝,是为了不伤害对方,增进友谊,与原文相符,所以答案是正确。

【题目】任务型阅读 The lifestyle of families has changed because of science and industry(工业).
More Americans used to live on farms, nearly each family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Uncles and aunties often lived nearby, too. But when industry became more important than agriculture(农业)in American life, families became smaller, industry needs lots of workers. They must be ready and able to move off the land and move again whenever necessary. It isn't easier for large families to move from place to place as small families can. Today, more and more small families have appeared, smaller families may have no children and they may have only a man and a woman because keeping children is really hard work. It takes parents not only money and time, but also much more energy and makes young couples(夫妇)busy working, studying and enjoying their lives all day. They are probably not important in keeping children.
That's why the increasing of population in most developed countries are becoming more and more slowly, In China today, each family has only one healthy child because of one-child policy.
In this way, the country can develop farther than before and young children can have more opportunities to get education and to find suitable jobs.
(1)Did each family only have one child in the past?
(2)Why have the families become smaller and smaller?
(3)What may a smaller family have?
(4)Who did parents and their children use to live with?
(5)which countries' population increases faster, developed countries or developing countries?

【题目】任务型阅读Dear Wang Tao,
I'm so glad to read about the changes taking place in your city. I am happy that you can travel by subway in Chongqing, though there are only six lines there. Here is London we have twelve lines.
The London Underground is very famous. It's famous for several reasons. Firstly, part of the underground railway today is the oldest in the world. It opened in 1863. Secondly, the London Underground is also the first line to have electric(电动的)trains in 1890. Thirdly, the London Underground is the second largest metro(地下铁道)system in the world, after the Shanghai Metro. There are 270 stations in the Underground and it has 402 kilometers of tracks (轨道). What's more, the city of London itself helps make the transportation(交通)system famous! I've got a few photos to help you build a clear picture of the Underground in my city. They are together with this mail.
In your e-mail, you also said workers were building more lines. I'm sure your city is developing fast. Maybe you can send me a few photos of your city today. I really want to see the changes taking place there. I'm happy for you to live in an ancient city with such a new look!
So much for now. I'll write soon again. Best wishes!
Yours,John

Happiness is for everyone. Maybe some people have beautiful houses with large gardens and big swimming pools. Some other people have nice cars and a lot of money. But you needn't care about that. Why? Because those are not real happiness.
