题型:不详难度:来源:
The weather is something no one can control. Maybe that is   16  there are so many expressions about the weather, especially about   17 .
Sometimes, when you need rain, you do not get any. Other times, you get rain when you don’t need it.   18  a baseball game for example, a sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game. If the game cannot continue, people who bought the tickets are given “rain checks”. These are   19  tickets that will let them see a   20  game for free.
“Rain Check” now means a second chance at something. Shops may offer “rain checks” when they sell out all of a product(产品) — a television set, for example, at a special low price.   21  all the TV sets have been sold out, the shop gives rain checks to those who wanted to buy   22 . The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later at the same low price after the shop receives some   23  TV sets from the factory.
“Rain Check” is also used in social situations. It’s a way of   24  an invitation, but for a later time.
You may ask for a “Rain Check” if you are invited to a friend’s house for dinner, but can’t be there right now. You say, “I would love to go, but I’m busy. Could I have a rain check?”  25  you are asking if you could have dinner with your friend at another time. It seems that your friend will probably ask you to dinner very soon next time.

Bicycles in China
Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to school, shops and anywhere else.

阅读下面语言材料,根据要求作答。根据短文内容,判断文后句子的正确(T)与错误(F)
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that 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. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really 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 not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: “Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.
小题1:“How are you?” is another way of saying "Hello." or" Hi."
小题2:It is polite to say" No. I disagree I think you are wrong, "if you don’t agree with others.
小题3:When someone says "I have to go now "On the phone.it means he wants to go on talking.
小题4:"Someone is at the door." may be an excuse for finishing a phone.
小题5:Sometimes people don’t say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to be nice to each other.
