第二节 完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分）
It’s very common to ask for information or help, especially when we visit a 46 country. So how to ask for information 47 is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests—both are correct English, but 48 could sound rude. Using correct language is important, but sometimes this 49 is not enough—we need to learn how to be polite when we 50 requests.
In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when 51 with different people. The expressions you use might depend on 52 you are speaking to or how 53 you know them. If you say to your teacher,“Where is my book?”this will sound rude. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know where my book is? ” your question will sound 54 . On the other hand, it might be alright to say“Where is my book?” 55 some situations, perhaps with people you know well.
And you would not usually say,“Peter, lend me your pen.”A very direct 56 like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are 57 and include extra language such as“Could you please…?”or“Can I ask…?” 58 sounds more polite to say,“Peter, could you please lend me your pen?”Sometimes we might even need to spend some time 59 in to a question or request.
It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true. However, 60 offend people, learning about language etiquette is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this also helps you become better at English.
46. A. large B. small C. old D. foreign
47. A. polite B. politely C. right D. directly
48. A. the first B. the second C. both D. all
49. A. lonely B. only C. alone D. along
50. A. ask B. make C. say D. tell
51. A. talk B. talks C. to talk D. talking
52. A. who B. which C. what D. whom
53. A. good B. well C. many D. long
54. A. more politer B. much politer C. much more polite D. much polite
55. A. on B. at C. in D. of
56. A. answer B. order C. question D. sentence
57. A. longer B. shorter C. smaller D. bigger
58. A. That B. This C. What D. It
59. A. lead B. to lead C. leading D. leads
60. A. in order to B. in order not to C. in order to not D. in order don’t

“With no more books at hand, I even started to read a Chinese dictionary. I read it so many times that I even found mistakes in it.”
