14.One day,I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student,"You speak very good English."But the girl answered,"No,no.My English is very poor."The foreigner was quite(35)Cat the answer.Thinking he had not made(36 )Bunderstood or the girl had not heard him clearly,he said,"Yes,indeed,you speak very well."but the girl still kept saying,"No."In the end the American boy could not understand and didn't know(37)C to say.What's wrong with the girl's answer?She didn't(38)A a compliment (恭维)in the same way as the American people do.She should(39)D,"Thank you"instead of"No".She really understood what the American boy had said,but she thought she should be modest.In the west,people will feel proud and(40)Dwhen they are praised.So if someone says the (41)A you have cooked are very delicious,you should say,"Thank you."
In our country,we think being modest is a virtue and being proud is a bad thing,but in my opinion,being confident does not(42)Cbeing proud,so sometimes you should be confident(43)B being modest.
(44)A you are modest and say,"No,I'm afraid I can't do it well",while working in a western country,the others may think that you really cannot do it.If you often say"No",you will certainly be looked down upon by(45)B.When asking for a job,if one says something like"Yes,I can certainly do it"instead of"Let me have a try",he or she will(46)Dget it.So in the west,you should be brave to show your self-confidence.

分析 本文主要讲述了中西方文化的差异.中国人都很谦虚,认为骄傲是不好的.但是西方人认为别人夸奖自己的时候是对自己的一种肯定,能够建立起自己的自信心.
解答 35.C考察形容词.excited激动地;relaxed放松的;surprised惊讶的;frightened害怕的.结合句意,中国人在受到夸奖的时候总是很谦虚,前文提到一个美国男孩在夸奖一个女孩英语说的好的时候,女孩谦虚的说,不,我的英语很差.这种文化上的差异让美国的男孩很惊讶.因为在下文中也提到了,在美国,人们在面对夸奖的时候会说谢谢.
36.B考察反身代词.itself它自己;himself他自己;herself她自己;themselves他们自己.结合上下句提到外国人对中国人的谦虚感到很惊讶,他会认为自己没有使自己表达清楚或者认为女孩没有听清楚他说的话.本句中的主语是he,应该用he的反身代词himself故选B.
37.C考察疑问代词.结合本句,男孩重新夸奖女孩,但是女孩仍然谦虚的说不,这让美国男孩不能理解,也不知道该说什么了.故选C,表示该说什么.
38.A考察动词.accept(主观上的)接受;receive(客观上的)接受;refuse拒绝;disagree不同意;结合句意,女孩的回答到底有什么问题呢?问题在于她没有像美国人一样去接受别人的恭维.接受恭维应该是主观上的接受.故选A.
39.D考察动词.read阅读;talk谈话;write书写;answer回答.结合上下文,女孩的问题在于没有像美国人一样接受对方的恭维,并且回答对方的时候用"谢谢"来代替"不".所以这里填answer.故选D.
40.D考察形容词.shy害羞的;modest谦虚的;shameful可耻的;confident信心.结合句意,在西方国家,当他们被夸奖了,他们会感到自豪和自信,句中的and前后的词应该用意义相近的形容词.故选D.
41.A考察名词.dish盘子;cup杯子;glass玻璃杯;bowl碗.结合句意,所以如果有人说你做的菜很好吃,你应该说谢谢.英语中表示菜都用dish.故选A.
42.C考察动词.ask询问;say说;mean意味着;think想.结合句意,在我们国家,我们认为保持谦虚是一种美德,骄傲是一种坏的表现,但是在我看来,自信并不意味着骄傲.意味着用mean.故选C.
43.B考察连词词组.as soon as只要;instead of 代替;as well as也;not only不仅.结合句意,自信并不意味着骄傲,所以有时候你应该用自信取代谦虚.作者的意见是谦虚固然重要,但是自信更为重要,需要用自信来取代谦虚.故选B.
44.A考察连词.if如果;until直到;whether是否;unless除非.结合句意,你在西方国家工作的时候,如果你谦虚的说,不,我恐怕我做的不太好,其他人可能认为你真的做不好.句子都是在假设这种情况,表示假设只能用if.故选A.
45.B考察形容词.结合句意,如果你经常说不,你将会被其他人瞧不起.空格后没有接名词,排除了A和C,因为another 和the other后需要接名词.others前加the就表示特指剩下的所有人,不符合句意.故选B.
46.D考察动词词组.fail to未能;succeed in成功;believe in信任;expect to 期待.结合句意,当求职的时候,如果一个人说"是的,我当然可以做到"而不是说"让我试试吧",这个人将很期待得到这个工作.故选D
