题文

Knowing how to ask for information and help politely is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests (请求) — both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. It’s important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough — we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.

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.politeB.carefulC.differentD.direct
小题2:You should say “____” when you ask a stranger for a way.
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?
小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
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.

题型:阅读理解  难度:中档

答案


小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:C


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。

据专家权威分析,试题“Knowing how to ask for information and help politely is impo..”主要考查你对  政治经济类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下:

政治经济类阅读

考点名称:政治经济类阅读

  • 政治经济类阅读:
    该类文章时代气息浓郁,语言鲜活,但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多,长句、难句多。
    政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容,读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉,经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花,文章看完,一头雾水。
    再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨,同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。

  • 政治经济类阅读注意:
    1、要做好这类阅读,平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事,掌握一定背景知识;
    2、对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解,还要扩展这方面的词汇;
    3、阅读这类文章,要抓住文章的核心,即文章整体和各段主要在说什么,也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。

    政治经济类阅读技巧:
    针对不同体裁的文章,我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式,我们可采取“顺读法”,以便抓关键语句,领会文章主旨;而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式,我们则可以采取“逆读法”,先读试题,再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。
    1. 寻找主干:
    根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干,句子的意思至少明白了一半。
    2. 剔除从句:
    在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句,在理解时,如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解,然后把大意拼凑起来,整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
    3. 辨别分句:
    一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成,句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词,只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系,再把各层分句的意思加以连贯,整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
    4. 寻找关键词:
    如果一个句子看完,一点句意的感觉也没有,下下策就是抓住句中的关键词,通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
