【題目】 British people are famous for apologizing (道歉) in almost every situation. __________ we are apologizing for asking a question, for our bad weather or we sneeze before others (打噴嚏), we are probably the number-one nation for apologies. We pride ourselves on our polite __________ in public. As a result, we use the word "sorry" quite a lot—even when we don't really _________ it! Usually, if you want to ask someone for the time, you would start by saying "Sorry to bother you. Do you know the time?" If you're five minutes late for an appointment (約會), you would generally _________ the person by saying "Sorry, I'm late!We use the word "sorry" in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has slightly _________ over time. The two main dictionary definitions (定義) of "sorry" are: feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or feeling regret because you've done something wrong. Usually, when you want to ask a stranger a question, you __________ with "Sorry to disturb you." In this situation, we aren't saying sorry because we feel sad for that person or because we feel regret.So what does "sorry" really mean? Well, in the British _________ , saying "sorry" is a way to be polite, especially to people who you don't know very well. It's also a very _________ way to get what you want. __________ , an actor asked different people on a rainy day if he could use their mobile phones. When he asked one group of strangers without apologizing first, he was only 9 per cent successful in borrowing their phones. _________, when he apologized to another group about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile phones, he was 47 per cent successful. So maybe saying "sorry" is not just being polite, but it is also a good method to get what you want too!

【題目】 Has anyone told you that it’s fun to play with English words? For a long time these “words within words” in English have been used to surprise and educate us…and they often make us laugh too. Now we go to learn about them.

Riddles(謎語)

How did the animals open the zoo door? They used a monkey! What’s the longest word in English? Smiles—there’s a “mile” between the first and last letters! These jokes —a question followed by a surprising answer — are known as “riddles”. But the ones above are examples of a special kind of riddle, a riddle which is funny because a word is hidden within another word. Many English speakers are crazy about this kind of words with double meaning. And it can be found in texts written in English a very long time ago. But riddles are not the only example of “words within words”.

Hidden words

During Victorian times (1837—1901), the game of hiding words within a whole sentence became popular. Look carefully at this sentence—The king eats his lunch in a fine palace. Can you see that the countries “China” and “Nepal” are hidden in it? The Victorians even used hidden words to teach children history and geography at school. Today we still see hidden word games in books and magazines, but we also use hidden words in jokes.

Palindromes(回文詞)

Palindromes are words and phrases which can be read the same forwards and backwards. The pop group “Abba”, for example, is a palindrome. The sentence “Was it a car or a cat I saw?” is also a palindrome. We find them interesting, but they can also be funny: I kept receiving emails about reading maps backwards, but then I realized it was just spam(垃圾郵件)!

【1】Which of the following is a riddle?

A. step—pets, part—trapB. hiding words within a whole sentence

C. silent—listen, the eyes—they seeD. Which letter is a question? Y (Why) .

【2】By reading the article we can know “___________”.

A. Riddles are the only example of “words within words”.

B. Victorians even used riddles to teach kids history at school.

C. “Was it a car or a cat I saw?” is a palindrome as well.

D. These “words within words” in English often make us cry.

【3】The best title of the passage is ________.

A. It’s fun to play with wordsB. “Words within words” educate us

C. Riddles & Hidden wordsD. The pop group “Abba”

【題目】 Kids in primary schools in Bellaire, Ohio, US have something to sing about. For the past several years, public primary schools in that town didn't offer music classes. They didn't have the money to pay for them. But now they have got the money to bring back music.

Many school officials (行政官員) across the US say music classes get students excited about going to school. Also, studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower (促進(jìn)腦力). For example, researchers from the University of Southern California did a study. They found that the brains of 10 and11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn't.

Though most people aren't opposed to teaching music in schools, not everyone says it's necessary. Many school teachers say that learning music means less time spent on maths, writing and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in life. Here's what two kids think.

Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun. We have music classes at my school, and I love them! In 2018, a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey (調(diào)查) on music education. More than 60% of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child is more focused (專注的).

Noah

At my school, we don't have music classes. I think that's OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects, like reading and maths. It's more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play a musical instrument. If someone wants to take music classes, he or she can do it outside of school. I take piano classes after school, so it doesn't take time away from my other classes.

Sophia

【1】Paragraph 2 uses an example to show that________.

A. students in the US like going to school

B. students in the US like taking music classes

C. music classes are good for students' brain development

D. 10 and 11-year-olds learn to play musical instruments faster

【2】What do the underlined words "opposed to" in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?

A. 理解B. 精通C. 研究D. 反對

【3】Which of the following does Noah probably agree with?

A. Music adds fun to learning.B. Schools should do music research.

C. Music is useful to students later in life.D. Schools should make music classes simple.

【4】What can we learn about Sophia?

A. She hates reading and maths.B. She thinks it is boring to play the piano.

C. She goes home immediately after school.D. She studies in a school without music class
