阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 When you start talking about good and bad manners you immediately start meeting difficulties. Many people just cannot agree to 1 they mean. We asked a lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person 2 the way they occupied the space around them—for example, when such a person walks down a street he or she is constantly aware of others. Such people never bump into other people. However, 3 second person thought that this was 4 a question of civilized behavior than good manners. Instead, this other person told us a story, which he said was quite well known, 5 an American who had been invited to an Arab meal in one of the countries of the Middle East. The American 6 (tell)very much about the kind of food he might expect. 7 he had known about Arab food, he might have behaved better. Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much like a napkin(餐巾). 8 (pick)it up, he put it into his collar, so that

it fell across his shirt. His Arab host, 9 had been watching, said nothing, but 10 (immediate)copied the action of his guest. And that, said this second person, was a fine example of good manners.

6. 【解析】hadn’t been told。考查时态和语态。由下句句意“如果他了解阿拉伯食物的话, 他表现就会更好些。”可知, 他在此之前没有被告知有关他所期待的食物的情况。故用过去完成时的被动语态的否定形式。

7. 【解析】If。考查连词。if引导条件状语从句。

8. 【解析】Picking。考查现在分词。pick和逻辑主语he之间是主动关系, 应用现在分词。 9. 【解析】who。考查关系代词。who引导定语从句修饰先行词his Arab host, who在从句中作主语。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 “Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits（品质）in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confidence American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor．As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What’s worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive．

Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking）．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．

1．To compete with American students it’s very important to ． A．be quite confident

B．be polite and friendly D．understand what they think

C．have more discussions with them

about

2．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ． A．gives a silly or simple answer

B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class C．shows no interest in the course

D．is considered to have no opinion of his own

3．The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ． A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said B．the students bargain with him C．he pretends to know what he doesn’t D．he has to give a speech

4．We learn from the second paragraph that ． A．we should also remain modest in America B．modesty doesn’t help you much in America C．Americans also like modest people

D．modesty can help you through an American graduate program 5．The passage is mainly developed by ． A．providing examples B．making comparisons C．giving different figures D．telling personal experiences 【参】1---5、ADCBD
