四、完形填空
The sunlight came through the windows, bringing in the hot summer air. I saw a long line of people at the medicine pickup counter(取药处). I took a deep breath to cool 1 down.

【分析】
这篇完形填空讲述了一位孕妇在取药排队时身体不适,得到排队人群善意帮助的故事。解题时要结合上下文语境、固定搭配以及词汇的语义来逐个分析:
1. 第1空:主语是“I”,对应的反身代词是“myself”,表示“让自己冷静下来”,所以选A。
2. 第2空:“join the line”是排队,排队的目的是“等待”轮到自己,“wait for one's turn”是固定表达,所以选B。
3. 第3空:根据前文“the weight of my coming baby”,怀孕的身体负担让站直变得“困难”,所以选C。
4. 第4空:前文提到“still quite a few people ahead”,前面还有很多人,所以队伍移动得“慢”,选D。
5. 第5空:前文提到“my legs felt heavy”,这里说“couldn't stand for long”,所以是腿部感觉更无力,选B。
6. 第6空:作者犹豫要不要求助,担心的是对方“拒绝”,因为对方也等了很久,所以选C。
7. 第7空:“in a low voice”是固定搭配,表示“小声地”,符合作者不好意思求助的状态,选A。
8. 第8空:年轻人惊讶地看着作者,直到看到她的肚子才明白原因,“until”表示“直到”,符合语境,选C。
9. 第9空:第二个女人原本在看手机,听到情况后从手机上抬头看,“look up from”表示“从……抬头看”,选B。
10. 第10空:前面的人都移到队尾,最后之前的第一个年轻人来到了作者的“后面”,选D。
【解析】
1. 第1题:主语为“I”,反身代词需与主语保持一致,“myself”是“I”对应的反身代词,“cool myself down”意为“让自己冷静下来”,故选A。
2. 第2题:“wait for one's turn”是固定短语,意为“等待轮到自己”,结合“joined the line”(排队)的语境,此处应选B。
3. 第3题:根据“the weight of my coming baby”可知,怀孕的身体负担使得站直变得困难,“difficult”表示“困难的”,符合语境,故选C。
4. 第4题:由“still quite a few people ahead”可知,队伍前面还有很多人,所以移动速度很慢,“slowly”表示“缓慢地”,故选D。
5. 第5题:前文提到“my legs felt heavy”,且“I couldn't stand for long”,说明腿部感觉无力,故选B。
6. 第6题:作者担心求助时对方会拒绝,因为对方也等待了很久,“refuses”表示“拒绝”,符合作者的担忧,故选C。
7. 第7题:“in a low voice”是固定搭配,意为“小声地”,符合作者不好意思求助的状态,故选A。
8. 第8题:年轻人一开始惊讶地看着作者,直到看到她的肚子才理解情况,“until”引导时间状语从句,意为“直到”,故选C。
9. 第9题:“look up from”表示“从……抬头看”,此处指第二个女人从手机上抬头看作者和前面的年轻人,符合语境,故选B。
10. 第10题:前面的人都主动移到队尾,最后之前的第一个年轻人来到了作者的身后,“behind”表示“在……后面”,故选D。

五、小练笔
If your foreign friend Bob is visiting a Chinese family, could you give him some advice on how to behave politely? (At least 5 sentences ______ )
If your foreign friend Bob is visiting a Chinese family, could you give him some advice on how to behave politely? (At least 5 sentences ______ )
答案:Remember to bring a small gift, like some fruits, when you visit a Chinese family. If the hosts are much older than you, it's polite to call them aunt and uncle with their family names. You can always use nin to address others. When they praise you, instead of saying "Thank you", you can reply, "Nali, nali." When you are eating at a table, wait for the elders to start eating first. It's a good way to show your respect.
解析:
【分析】
首先,我们要明确任务是给外国朋友Bob提供去中国家庭做客的礼貌行为建议,且至少5句话。解题时,第一步先回忆中国家庭做客的常见礼仪,比如拜访礼物、称呼方式、回应赞美、用餐礼仪等不同维度的细节;第二步,将每个礼仪点转化为符合英语表达习惯的句子,注意使用礼貌的建议句型(如Remember to...、It's polite to...等);第三步,确保句子数量达标,内容连贯,覆盖不同的礼仪场景,让Bob能清晰了解各方面的礼貌做法。
【解析】
1. 拜访带小礼物:在中国文化中,拜访家庭带小礼物是基本礼仪,用“Remember to bring a small gift, like some fruits, when you visit a Chinese family.”来表达,清晰告知礼物类型和时机。
2. 称呼长辈:对年长的主人用姓氏加“aunt/uncle”是礼貌的做法,句子“If the hosts are much older than you, it's polite to call them aunt and uncle with their family names.”明确了适用场景和具体做法。
3. 使用敬称:用“nin”(对应中文“您”)称呼他人是中式敬语的英语表达,“You can always use nin to address others.”告诉Bob通用的敬称方式。
4. 回应赞美:中国文化中回应赞美常表现谦虚,用“Nali, nali.”(中式英语表达“哪里哪里”)来回应,句子“When they praise you, instead of saying 'Thank you', you can reply, 'Nali, nali.'”对比了中西回应方式的不同。
5. 用餐礼仪:等长辈先动筷是尊重长辈的体现,“When you are eating at a table, wait for the elders to start eating first. It's a good way to show your respect.”说明了用餐时的具体做法和意义。
【答案】
