In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “Where is my book?” this will sound rude. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?” your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright to say “Where is my book?” to the people you know well.
And you would not usually say, “Peter, lend me your pen.” A very direct order like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra (附加的) language, such as “Could you please...?” or “Can I ask...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please lend me your pen?” If you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, “Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me.” or “I’m sorry to trouble you but…” before asking him for help.
It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true.
小题1:When we make requests, we need to speak in a ____ way.
A.polite | B.careful | C.different | D.direct |
A.Which is the way to the zoo? |
B.How can I get to the zoo? |
C.Do you know the way to the zoo? |
D.Excuse me. Can you tell me the way to the zoo? |
A.We should use long sentences when we ask for information and help. |
B.When we ask for help from others, polite language must be used. |
C.The way of speaking is important when we ask different people for help. |
D.In English, polite questions are as neccessary as rude and direct ones. |
答案
小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:C
解析
试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是,当我们向不同的人去求助或询问信息的时候,要注意说话的方式。如果是向陌生人求助,我们说话的方式就必须是有礼貌的;如果是熟悉的人,就可以用比较直接的方式。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第一段的最后一句话we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.可知,当我们提出要求的时候,我们需要学会怎样说才是有礼貌的。即我们提要求的时候,要用礼貌的方式来表达。故选A。
小题2:推理判断题。根据这篇短文的大意我们可以知道,当我们跟别人说话的时候,尤其是在提要求的时候,一定要注意说话要有礼貌。所以当我们向别人问路的时候,我们不能直接的来提问,而是要加上一些附加的语言,如excuse me, 及can you tell me…。故应选D。
小题3:推理判断题。A选项意为:当我们向别人寻求信息或帮助的时候,我们应该使用长句子。这不符合文章的意思;B选项意为:当我们需要别人的帮助的时候,必须用有礼貌的语言。根据文意可知,如果我们向关系比较好的人询问,用一般的语言也是可以的;D选项意为:在英语里,有礼貌的问题和粗鲁的、直接的问题一样的有必要。这个说法不符合文意。C选项意为:当我们向不同的人求助的时候,说话的方式是重要的。根据短文第二段In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people.可知这个表达是符合文意的。故选C。

Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.
“I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It’s going to have a huge influence on society as a whole.” says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia (柬埔寨).
3D printing services are coming into American people’s life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商) that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.
“The demand has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It’s been much more than I would have imagined.”
The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.
For $11, someone used a 3D printer to produce two small plastic parts as part of a knuckle (指节) for a hand. He works for the company which is testing finger prosthetics (假肢). He says the same–day or next-day printing services will speed up testing of parts and get them to patients faster.
Staples, an American store, is selling 3D printers on its website for as low as about $1,300. As with any technology - experts expect the printing speed to increase and the price to go down.
Bryan Jaycox requires $15 an hour to print an object. He also sets the price depending on the size of the object and up to $50 an hour for design and labor services.
Mr Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more user friendly. But KiChong Tran says even today’s technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia.
“With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. You can actually create things that give value to the world.”
He says it’s not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality.
小题1:What can 3D printers do according to the passage?
A.Come up with an idea. |
B.Draw on a piece of paper. |
C.Help users to spend less money. |
D.Turn an idea into a physical object. |
A.Make users’ life better. |
B.Make friends with users. |
C.Make 3D printers easier to use. |
D.Use 3D printers to make money. |
A.3D printing is becoming popular in the world. |
B.There is no 3D printing business in Cambodia. |
C.The UPS Store is the biggest 3D printing company. |
D.3D printing plays the most important role in daily life. |
A.The future of 3D printing in the world. |
B.The 3D printing business in Cambodia. |
C.The development and growth of 3D printing business. |
D.The 3D printing classes and services in different places. |
John tried on the coat and bought it at once. John wore the coat to school the next day and came home a big smile. “How did the kids think of your coat?” I asked. “They loved it very much,” he said. I started to him “Lord (老爷) John”.
During the next few weeks, a came over John. He became more polite, more thoughtful and more pleasing. He would lend his classmates his pens; he would bring his father a cup of tea when he got home; he would help a blind man the road.
One day, my brother and I met a friend in the library. “Could this be John?” he asked in a great surprise. John shook hands with him, just a gentleman!
What changed John? It was his own attitude. If you think you are a gentleman or a lady, you a perfect one.

The “Big Lottery(彩票)” is giving money to a group of teenagers who want to become active citizens. We’re looking for young people to take part in projects near to where they live.
Here are a few easy things you could do to get started:
