18．It's really true what people say about English politeness：it's everywhere．When squeezing （挤过去） past someone in a narrow passage，people say"sorry"．When getting off a bus，English passengers say"thank you"rather than the driver．In Germany，people would never dream of doing these things．After all，squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable，and the bus driver is only doing his job．I used to think the same way，without questioning it，until I started traveling to the British Isles，and here are some more polite ways of interacting （交往） with people in UK．
People thank each other everywhere in England，all the time．When people buy something in a shop，customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more．In Germany，it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation．British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room．English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs，as opposite to Germans，who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough．
Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize （批评） others．Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me，my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism．It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism，English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable．This also is showed in other ways．British men still open doors for women，and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men．However，I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men!Yes，the latter are a bit tightfisted．

48．What is the author's attitude towards English politeness？C
A．He thinks it is unnecessary．
B．He thinks little of it．
C．He appreciates it very much．
D．He thinks it goes too far．
49．What can be inferred from the passage？D
A．German men never treat a woman to dinner．
B．The author think it's unnecessary to say"thank you"to the bus driver．
C．In Germany，employers often say"thank you"to employees for their job．
D．Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough．
50．We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish menD．
A．like to fight with each other
B．treat women in a polite way
C．are as generous as English men
D．are unwilling to spend money for women
51．The author develops the text through the method ofA．

5．In North America，the Colorado（科罗拉多）River is a legend．It has sustained generations of people and many generations of wildlife．Once free，the Colorado now has many dams along its 1，450miles．Its life-giving water is divided up among seven U．S．states according to several agreements，which has caused the heaviest hit on the eco-balance of the river as no region would lose advantages compared with neighbours in the use of the river，thus inappropriate use was well expected．
The Colorado once supported a vast delta（三角洲）where it met the Gulf of California．Today the lush plantations are just memories，displaced by invasive species capable of surviving in soils poisoned by salt．The drying of the delta has huge effect on the local people．As many as 5，000people were living in the delta 400years ago．Today，about 300remain．There is a delta culture at risk of extinction，partly owing to outside job opportunities and marital mobility．However，the worsening living environment caused partly by horrible grab of the waters of the Colorado River has beaten all the other reasons．
It's easy to blame farmers along the Colorado for drawing waters from its channel to water their crops or quench the thirst of their cows．They are immediate consumers of water from the Colorado，but the truth is that we，ordinary American consumers，are all at least partially responsible．Many of us have bought products that come from the region，whether in the form of paper，hamburgers，or electronics．We live in an increasingly connected world，in which we take up"virtual water"in the form of products and even services．In the U．S．，we use twice as much water per person as the global average．
Though it may seem to work in the short term，we can barely fix the Colorado by piping water from another place．But change is urgent．Use a water calculator to see how much water you use every day．Pay special attention to saving every drop of water hidden in your diet and wardrobe．And keep away from life styles that might waste water．In all，try to form a water-efficient habit．
Besides，technology improvement will also be explored to make change happen in the rescue efforts．These technologies include methods to increase farming efficiency，and ways to replace invasive，water-sucking plants with native species．
Anyway，it's time we humans rose up and repaid the mother river that has long been nurturing us．

2．A．aspects       B．extended     C．constructing      D．unfortunately     E．instance
F．traditional     G．continued     H．simply         I．based             J．units

In 1791the French nation，in the midst of a revolution，wished to break with the past，especially with those（41）A of it which they considered illogical and useless．One of those was the（42）F  system of weights and measures in use．Not only was the system clearly complicated，but it also varied widely from place to place．So the French spent a large amount of time and efforts regulating a new system．
In（43）C  the new system，the French began by setting up a unit of distance equal to one forty millionth part of the earth's circumference （周长）．But（44）D  later measurements showed that the unit designed was not exactly that part，but they（45）G  to use it．（Today the unit is defined simply as the distance between two marks on a metal bar kept in suburb of Paris）．The unit is the meter and the system of measurements（46）I  on this unit is the metric （米制的） system，the system today used by scientists all over the world．
The metric system is built in（47）J  of ten，Greek prefixes showing multiples and Latin prefixes showing fractions．The Greeks had no word for a number larger than ten thousand and the Romans had none for a number larger than one thousand，but the system was（48）B  by using less specific words； for（49）E  mega meter （one million meters） comes from a Greek word that means simply"large"．
