题目列表(包括答案和解析)
It’s really true what people say about English politeness: it’s everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow aisle, 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 is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of interacting (交往) 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 cases 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 opposite to Germans, who would normally 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 emphasized (强调) several times that none of their words were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This is also shown in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal 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 (后者) are a bit tightfisted.

三、完形填空：请阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从36~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C或D）中，选出最佳选项。
A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was 36 was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of 37 as a result of exhausted（用尽的）battery. Nothing could be done but 38 in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the 39 of the rescue team.
It is almost 40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41: “First of all I checked my 42 conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no 43 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 44. In this way I dozed（打盹）off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the 45 of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men 46 to explore a mountain cave and got lost. 47 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 48. Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 49 team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 50 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 51 themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing not far away.w
Don’t you think that you can compare it with 52 itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle 53. It seems to be a negative（消极的）attitude, 54 a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great 55 in the first place.
