What are the basic elements of good manners? Certainly a strong sense of justice is one; modesty is often nothing more than a highly developed sense of fair play. A friend of mine once told me about a time he was    1    along a narrow, unpaved(未铺柏油的) mountain road. Ahead was another car that produced clouds of    2   , and it was a long way to the nearest    3   highway. Suddenly, at a    4    place, the car ahead pulled off the road.   5    that its owner might have engine trouble, my friend stopped and asked if anything was wrong. “No,” said the other driver, “but you’ve tolerated my dust this far; I’ll    6    with yours the rest of the way.”

Another element of courtesy is considerate, a    7    that enables a person to see into the mind or heart of someone else, to understand the pain or    8    there and to do something to minimize it. A man    9    alone in a restaurant was trying to open the cap of a beer bottle, but he couldn’t do it because of badly injured    10   . He asked a young busboy to help him. The boy took the bottle, turned his back    11    and loosened the cap without difficulty. Then he    12    it again. Turning back to the man, he    13    to make great efforts to open the bottle without success.   14    he took it into the  kitchen and returned shortly, saying that he had managed to loosen it ----but only with a pair of pliers(钳子).

Yet another element of politeness is the ability to treat all people    15   , in spite of all status or importance. Even when you have doubts about some people, act as if they are worthy of your best manners. You may also be astonished to find out what they really are.

Courtesy is the key to a happier world.

There are many American expressions about insects -- like bees, for example. Bees are known as very hard workers. They always appear to be busy,     16     (move) around in their homes, or hives. So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you     17     (spend) your weekend cleaning your house. In fact, you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean. When we go to see a movie, my friend always makes a beeline for the place     18     they sell popcorn. Hornets are bee-like insects that sometimes attack people.     19     you are really angry, you might say you are mad as a hornet. And providing that you stir up     20     hornet’s nest, you create trouble or problems.

Butterflies are beautiful insects,     21     you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. That means to be nervous     22     having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. You would also not want to have ants in your pants. That is, to be     23     (rest) and unable to sit still.

Here are some expressions about plain old bugs,     24     word for insects. If you were reading a book in your warm bed     25     a cold winter's day, you might say you were snug as a bug in a rug. And if you wish someone good night, you might say, “sleep tight -- don't let the bed bugs bite.”

II. 阅读(共两节,满分50分)

第一节  阅读理解 (共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。

A

Michael Edwards was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, on 5 December, 1963. Better known as “Eddie the Eagle”, he was a strong downhill skier, so good that in 1984, he nearly made the British Olympic team. To improve his chances to qualify(使具有资格) for Calgary in 1988, he moved to Lake Placid in the U.S. to train and enter races of a higher standard, but he quickly found himself short on funds. To realize his Olympic dream, Edwards realized he’d need to get creative.

Clearly, competition for the downhill team was difficult, but what if he switched from skiing to ski jumping? Since there weren’t any other Brits in the event, he was sure to make the team. To save money, Edwards lived in a Finnish mental institution, the cheapest place he could find near a slope, and paid for his training by working as a plasterer(泥水匠).

That’s how, with just 18 months of practice and one crash - related broken jaw under his belt, Edwards made it to Calgary. He outweighed his competition by 20 pounds, and poor vision forced him to compete in his thick glasses, which were always fogged. He joked to the press “My glasses clear up enough for me to see where I’ll land and on which part of my body.”

His Olympic jumps were disasters. Edwards finished dead last in the competition, his scores not even half of what the medalists earned. He reportedly whispered “May I survive” to himself before each effort, managing to land on his feet each time.

Despite the poor showing, “Eddie the Eagle” became a fan favorite. Audiences couldn’t get enough of the dogged Olympic dreams of the jumper. And while the rules were quickly changed to keep such hopeless cases out of future Olympic competitions, Edwards captured the public’s affection in a way no last - place finisher ever had. The Brits even held a parade upon his return home! Edwards remained humble (谦逊的), though. “I’m not letting this go to my head,” he told the media. “I’m determined to keep my feet on the ground. Except when I’m ski jumping of course.”

A. was a great downhill skier

B. competed in the 1984 Olympics

B

Michelle Obama, Kate Moss and Samantha Cameron are three of the most stylish women on the planet but it seems they have their daughters rather than their style know how to thank for that. New research has shown that women with daughters tend to be more stylish than mothers of sons; a fact partly because of the style advice their daughters offer as they get older.

78 percent of women over the age of 50 say they would be more than happy to let their daughters choose a complete outfit for them. However, just five percent of women say they would turn to their sons for style advice, while 28 percent believe that mothers of boys are less fashionable than women with girls.

“Women who don’t have daughters become less interested in style as they grow older but having a daughter may keep alive her interest in looking great,” comments psychologist Honey Langcaster - James. “And, because of their close relationship, they also have a source of support and encouragement when it comes to their style decisions.”

More than a quarter of women believe that Mums who have sons are less fashion - conscious than Mums with daughters. The most common reasons for this are that daughters are more critical (爱挑剔的), offer good advice and inspiration, and add an element of competition to look the best while sons don’t seem to care and aren’t as strict as daughters.

Interestingly, although mothers tend to rely on their daughters’ style tips, their confidence isn’t reciprocated, with 40 percent of women between the ages of 19 and 34 saying they wouldn’t allow their mothers to shop for them as what their mothers would choose for them would not be as good as they expected.

And although they might not appreciate the fashion advice, the research, which was conducted by online retailer Gray & Osbourn, showed that daughters do still need their mothers with 71 percent saying they chat to their female parent every day.

“Overall, the research shows just how important relationships are between mothers and daughters,” added Langcaster - James, “and just how much women appreciate an honest and trustworthy opinion.”

31. The opening paragraph is mainly to show ________.

A. girls influence their mothers’ style decisions

B. women with children are often less stylish

C. mothers like to follow their children’s advice

D. boys are actually better advisors than girls

32. Which of the following may Langcaster - James agree with?

A. Daughters usually love their mothers more than sons do.

B. It’s hard for boys to get along well with their mothers.

C. Mothers without daughters show less interest in style.

D. Girls are more independent than boys in some ways.

33. It can be inferred from the passage that girls ________.

A. show more interest in science than boys

B. care more about what their mothers wear

C. can help a lot to solve family problems

D. are good at encouraging other people

34. By saying “their confidence isn’t reciprocated”, the author means that ______.

A. some women would not like to follow their mother’s style advice

B. some women aren’t sure what to wear when attending a party

C. some women don’t like to choose clothes for their mothers

D. some women often show no confidence in themselves

35. What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?

A. It confuses many parents how to talk with their kids.

B. Daughters prefer to talk with their mums instead of dads.

C. It is important for parents to respect their children’s choice.

D. Mothers of girls are more fashionable than those of boys.
