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
1 at the answer. Thinking he had not made
2 understood or the girl had not
3 him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.”
4 the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know
5 to say.
What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t
6 a compliment (恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She
7 understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the
8 , people will feel proud and
9 when they are praised . So if someone says the
10 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
11 being proud, so sometimes you should be confident
12 being modest.
13 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
14 . 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
15 get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.

本试题 “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 p...” 主要考查您对 政治经济类阅读 等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
政治经济类阅读：该类文章时代气息浓郁，语言鲜活，但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多，长句、难句多。 政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容，读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉，经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花，文章看完，一头雾水。 再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨，同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。 政治经济类阅读注意：
1、要做好这类阅读，平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事，掌握一定背景知识；
2、对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解，还要扩展这方面的词汇；
3、阅读这类文章，要抓住文章的核心，即文章整体和各段主要在说什么，也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。
政治经济类阅读技巧：
针对不同体裁的文章，我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式，我们可采取“顺读法”，以便抓关键语句，领会文章主旨；而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式，我们则可以采取“逆读法”，先读试题，再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。
1. 寻找主干：
根据英语中五种基本句型结构，把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来，其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干，句子的意思至少明白了一半。
2. 剔除从句：
在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句，在理解时，如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解，然后把大意拼凑起来，整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
3. 辨别分句：
一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成，句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词，只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系，再把各层分句的意思加以连贯，整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
4. 寻找关键词：
如果一个句子看完，一点句意的感觉也没有，下下策就是抓住句中的关键词，通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
