In the house only the girls do chores. His sisters make all the beds and clean all the rooms too, even his bedroom.
His mother always cooks the meals, and his sisters help her to go shopping, and prepare the food. They work hard
at home, doing all the chores with their mother. So when Kumar talks to his friend Sam about chores, he feels very
lucky.

that’s really 24 in everyday life—basic home repair (家庭基础维修).
Being able to take care of repairs around the house is very satisfying. It might be difficult 25 , but
when you know more about your tools, it becomes 26 easier.
For example, I had some problems with the showerhead (淋浴喷头) in my 27 a few days ago. I
didn’t call a repairman to replace (替换) it—who knows how much money the repairman would want me to 28
it? So I bought a new showerhead and replaced it 29 .

There are certain things you never imagine yourself saying.
“I just got a worm in my eye!” is one of them.
And yet I did say it—I screamed it, actually.
The family was all here and we were in the garden, when I saw a worm nearby. I asked my six-year-old
grandson to come over and remove the worm. He picked up the worm, studied it quickly and then threw it into the
air.
The worm quickly fell back to earth, landing on my face against my left eyelid. That’s when the screaming
started and the jumping up and down.
You know how they say when you meet a small creature, that the small creature is just as afraid of you as you
are of it? They lie.
The worm showed no fear. I, however, am still having nightmares about the experience, which was several
days ago.
The most important thing in all this is that my grandson said he was sorry to me.
I’d just been reading a book that makes a connection between adults doing the slow and hard work of
teaching manners to children and greater levels of civility in society.
Table manners, language manners and even manners in dress all show levels of self-control.
Having self-control limits what we say and how we behave, making many of us appear a good deal better
than we really are.
Good manners also have the possibility to make mealtime a pleasant experience, even with small children.
All of my grandchildren, except the ones that can’t yet talk, ask to be excused before leaving the table.
It is a sign of respect for others at the table and a sign of respect for the meal itself. It’s also more pleasant
than pushing one’s chair back and running for the back yard.
Those tall enough, and even those not tall enough, also take their dishes to the kitchen.
Manners are what civilize us—around our tables, in our families, homes and our communities.
So when a little boy has the courage to apologize to a grandma who is screaming and jumping up and down,
at least we know that our years of teaching young people manners are paying off—one worm at a time.
46．Where were they when the author saw a worm?
A．In the house. B．In the garden.
C．In the park. D．In the back yard.
47．The worm fell down on the author’s________.
A．leg B．head C．left eyelid D．right eyelid48．What does the underlined word “nightmares” mean?
A．好运 B．噩梦 C．回忆 D．愿望
49．The author believed that his grandson’s apology is________.
A．a good manner B．a bad behavior C．unnecessary D．a must
50．What does the passage tell us?
A．The importance of apology. B．The importance of good manners.
C．Many kinds of good manners. D．A story of a worm.
【答案】46．B 47．C 48．B 49．A 50．B

Our polite, little phrases
Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in sentences with extra
words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.
For example, have you ever been told by your friend: “I am only telling you this because I care about you—
you really need to lose weight”? Or, by your classmate: “No offense, but to be perfectly honest, you’ve done a
terrible job”?
These speech acts are called “verbal tee-ups”, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. They are like
cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news. Other verbal tee-ups include: “Don’t take this the wrong way,
but…”, or “Don’t get mad, but…”.
For speakers, verbal tee-ups make it easier to say difficult things. They sound formal and polite. But aren’t
they dishonest?
According to James W. Pennebaker, Psychology Department chair at the University of Texas at Austin, US,
these phrases “are to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self”, he told The Wall StreetJournal.
However, Anne Curzan, professor of English at the University of Michigan, US, says that verbal tee-ups are a
bit like traffic signals. “If we know that we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it can be nice to give
the listener a moment to prepare for the message,” she wrote in the article Verbal Tee-ups: A More Positive Spin,
published in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Curzan gives an example. Suppose she needs an extension from an editor because she can’t get her article
done on time. She might start her request with “I’m sorry to have to ask…”, or “I understand if this isn’t
possible…”.
She could just say: “I need an extension”. But that doesn’t “feel very polite”, Curzan noted. Instead, it’s
“sudden” and doesn’t “give the editor any choice”.
51．What’s the purpose of pausing at certain moments and fill in sentences with extra words?
A．To give a pause.
B．To make them sound more honest.
C．To make an apology.
D．To give thanks.
52．What’s the function of “verbal tee-ups”?
A．To soften bad or unpleasant news.
B．To soften good news.
C．To give bad or unpleasant news.
D．To make others feel uncomfortable.
53．According to Anne Curzan, if we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it’s better to ________.
A．give a pause
B．use “verbal tee-ups”
C．say it directly
D．say sorry
54．If we don’t use “verbal tee-ups”, it means________.
A．we are honest B．we are polite
C．we are impolite D．we have news to say
55．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．“Verbal tee-ups”—a polite verbal habits.
B．“Verbal tee-ups”—a bad habits.
C．Verbal habits.D．An honest pause.
【答案】51．B 52．A 53．B 54．C 55．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了人们在交流时所用到的“缓冲语”。
51．细节理解题。根据“Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in
sentences with extra words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.”可知，在某些时候停顿
一下，用额外的词语来填充句子，是为了使它们听起来更诚恳。故选B。
52．细节理解题。根据“They are like cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news.”可知，verbal tee-ups
可以用来缓和坏消息或不愉快的消息。故选A。
53．推理判断题。根据第六段的描述可以推断，如果我们即将说出一些有潜在破坏性的话，用verbal tee-
ups更好。故选B。
54．细节理解题。根据“She could just say: ‘I need an extension’. But that doesn’t ‘feel very polite’ ...”可知，
如果我们不用verbal tee-ups，这意味着我们不太礼貌。故选C。
55．主旨大意题。本文通过一些例子，介绍了一种用来缓和坏消息或不愉快的消息的语言习惯——verbal
tee-ups，故选A。

a clean and comfortable environment for children?” Now children have 62 (little) free time than before.
Most of them have to go to after-school classes. 63 doing chores can really help children a lot. First, it
helps children be 64 (independence) and learn to take care of themselves. Second, children 65
(help) out around the house become better team players. 66 (three), children will become more
confident(自信的)when they find they are useful in 67 family. Fourth, most children do like to help
their parents—they want to spend time with 68 (them) parents and do the same work 69
their parents. Finally, it is fair for children to do some 70 (chore). They live in one house with their
parents, so they should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy.
【答案】
61．to provide 62．less 63．But 64．independent 65．helping
66．Third 67．the 68．their 69．as 70．chores
【分析】现在的孩子们空闲时间比以前少了，因为他们中有很多人不得不去课外补习班学习。但是做家
务真的能帮到孩子们很多。文中提到了五点做家务的好处。
61．句意：为孩子们提供一个干净舒适的环境难道不是父母的职责吗？此空作名词job的后置定语，要用
动词不定式，故填to provide。
62．句意：现在孩子们比以前有更少的时间。根据“than”可知，此空应填little的比较级less“更少的”，
故填less。
63．句意：但是做家务真的可以帮助孩子们很多。空格前后文表转折关系，故填But。
64．句意：首先，它帮助孩子独立，学会照顾自己。be后接形容词作表语，故填independent。
65．句意：其次，帮助做家务的孩子会成为更好的团队合作者。“children…out around the house”在句中
作主语，故此空应填动名词，故填helping。
66．句意：第三，当孩子们发现他们在家庭中有用时，他们会变得更加自信。根据“First”“Second”可知，
此空表示“第三”，此空在句首，首字母要大写，故填Third。
67．句意：第三，当孩子们发现他们在家庭中有用时，他们会变得更加自信。in the family“在家庭中”，
故填the。
68．句意：第四，大多数孩子确实喜欢帮助他们的父母——他们想花时间和他们的父母在一起，和他们
的父母做同样的工作。此空修饰名词“parents”，要用形容词性物主代词，故填their。
69．句意：第四，大多数孩子确实喜欢帮助他们的父母——他们想花时间和他们的父母在一起，和他们
的父母做同样的工作。the same as“与……相同”，故填as。70．句意：最后，让孩子做一些家务是公平的。do some chores“做家务”，故填chores。
五、阅读短文回答问题（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Polite problems
I’ve noticed a scary amount of politeness lately, and it has made me a little nervous.
I say “scary” because I am not used to being met at the door of a business and led to the proper area of a store
to find what I need.
In more familiar times, one would walk into a department store unnoticed, go up to a sales associate, and find
him or her talking on a telephone.
You would wait for a minute or so to ask a question of the person, usually a woman. And she, finally
deciding to notice you, would turn to face you and say “Yes?” impatiently.
You would ask if her department have a certain popular brand and she would point and say “If we do, they’re
over there” and turn back to her phone.
That type of behavior still exists in many stores. But I have noticed a Type B associate lately.
For instance, I was at a store the other day to purchase a battery.
I was met at the door by a friendly woman who gave me a basket, asked what I was looking for, and led me
to the battery I needed.
On the very same day, I stopped at a nearby grocery store. I was looking for a special type of bread and the
associate wanted to lead me to that too. I said no since I knew where it was, but she led me there anyhow.
Everyone was so sweet that I felt like I was drowning in maple syrup.
Later, I was on the phone to an incredibly polite bank associate who could not help me with an online
request. He was so upset that he couldn’t do so that I felt him nearly collapse. With sadness in his voice, he said I
had to appear in person at a nearby branch to do my business because they needed me to give them my Social
Security number in person. I said, “not a chance” and hung up, but then I began to worry if I had made him kill
himself. I think his name was Gary.
Gary, if you’re out there, think of your mom and your little sisters and don’t do anything crazy. It’s just that
I’m not used to politeness from a banker, and I forgive your sweetness.
71．Why does the author feel nervous when someone is extremely polite to him?
72．What does the author think of walking into a department store unnoticed?
73．Why didn’t the author want the associate to lead him to the bakery?74．What did the author feel when people were so sweet?

【导语】本文主要以作者的个人经历来讲述作者不习惯他人的礼貌。
71．根据“I say “scary” because I am not used to being met at the door of a business and led to the proper area
of a store to find what I need.”可知，作者被极度礼貌地对待而觉得害怕是因为他有些不习惯。故填Because
he isn’t used to being treated like this.
72．根据“In more familiar times, one would walk into a department store unnoticed, go up to a sales associate,
and find him or her talking on a telephone.”可知，作者认为悄无声息地走进一家百货商店而不被店员注意到
对他来说是很熟悉的场景。故填He thinks it is familiar.
73．根据“... I said no since I knew where it was, but she led me there anyhow.”可知，作者不想让同事带他去
面包店是因为他知道面包店在哪。故填Because he knew where it was.
74．根据“Everyone was so sweet that I felt like I was drowning in maple syrup.”可知，作者觉得自己快被枫
糖浆淹死了。故填He felt like he was drowning in maple syrup.
75．根据“It’s just that I’m not used to politeness from a banker, and I forgive your sweetness.”可知，作者不习
惯银行家的礼貌。故填He is not used to the banker’s politeness.

【答案】例文：
We Should Do Chores at Home
Now many students don’t like doing chores at home. There are mainly two reasons. One is that they think it’s
their parents’ job to do chores at home. The other is that they think doing chores takes up their time for study. But
I think we should help to do chores at home because our parents are busy with their work and are often tired after
work. I often do chores at home, like making the bed, watering the flowers, cleaning the rooms, taking out the
rubbish and doing the dishes. I think doing chores makes us relaxing. I also feel great to help my parents.
