题目内容
【题目】 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 surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made_____understood or the girl had not heard him clearly, he said , “ Yes , indeed, you speak very well.” ____the girl still kept saying , “ No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know_____to say.
What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t______a compliment ( 恭维)in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She ______understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the_____, people will feel proud and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the _____you have cooked are very delicious, you should say,“ Thank you .”
In our country we think being modest is a virtue (美德) and being proud is a bad thing , but in my opinion, being confident does not____ being proud, so sometimes you should be confident_____being modest. If 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 others. 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_______get it . So in the west , you should be brave to show your self-confidence.

做完型填空时,首先要通读课文,明白主旨大意,然后再做题。做完型时要记住“瞻前顾后想结果”这一原则,根据上下文以及语境做题,切忌主观臆断。另外,平时还要多多积累词汇。完型填空常考名词、动词、形容词和副词等辨析。做词义辨析题时,首先要确认四个选项的含义,然后分析语境和逻辑关系,确定答案。
例如第6题。首先确定四个选项的含义,A.东方;B.南方;C.西方;D.北方。再根据while working in a western country , the others may think that you really cannot do it“然而在西方工作,其他人会认为你真地不能做这个”可知,主要讲述中西方文化的差别,故选C。
