“You speak very good English”
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English. “You 1 very good English.” But the student answered, “ No, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite
2 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself 3 or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still 4 saying “No”. 5 the foreigner gave up and didn’t know what to say.
What’s wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he didn’t accept a compliment as the American people 6 . He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If someone says to a woman, “ You look 7 beautiful with the new clothes 8 .” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you.” In our country we think 9 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No, 10 I can’t do it well,” then the others will take it for granted (理所当然)that you 11 can not do it. If you often say,“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by 12 . When 13 for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it. So in the West, one should always be confident. 14 self-confidence, he can’t go anywhere. Confidence is of great 15 to one in a country where competition is quite keen.(激烈)

【解析】短文大意: 这篇短文主要谈到了英语交际中的谦虚问题,在西方交际中对于别人的夸奖,赞美等恭维一般是欣然结构,并表示感谢,而不是像*人一样谦虚几句。由此也让我们懂得,在西方社会自信是多么的重要。
1.动词辨析。tell告诉,讲述,强调一个人说;say 说,强调说的内容;talk 不及物动词,谈话,多和介词搭配使用;speak演讲,发言,说某种语言。联系下文,可知此处指的是你的英语说得不错。故选C。
2.联系后一句描述,可知这个外国人很惊讶,故选B,惊讶的,感到出人意料的。B
3.结合语境可知此处指的是这个男孩认为对方没有明白自己的意思。过去分词作宾语补足语表示被动的动作,结合 语境可知选A。
4.联系上下文可知此处指的是,这个*学生仍旧坚持说……。结合语境可知本句描述的是过去发生的动作,故用过去时态,选D,坚持,继续。
5.短语辨析。A. 首先,最初; B. 顺便说说;C.终于,最后;D. 首先。联系前文,可知这个外国人最后放弃了。故选C。
6.结合语境可知此处指的是他没有像美国人那样接受恭维。结合语境可知从句中描述的是客观*动作,故用一般现在时态。本句主语the American people 表示复数含义,故谓语动词用原形。选D。
7.词义辨析。such是形容词,修饰名词,意思是如此的这样的;so是副词,修饰形容词,副词,意思是如此这样。连词下文beautiful ,可知选C,副词修饰形容词。
8.介词辨析。A.为了,对于;B. 在上面;C.在里面;D.进入。本句中介词on用作形容词,表示衣服穿在身上的意思,故选B。
9.联系上下文可知此处指的是,我们认为诚实是一种美德。结合语境可知本句从句中是动名词做主语,have的基本含义是有,故选A。
10短语辨析。A.我害怕;B. 我不确定;C.我不介意;D.我不知道。结合语境可知此处指的是,恐怕我不能做好。故选A。
11联系前文描述,可知此处指的是,他们认为你真的不能做好。故选B,真实地。
12联系上下文,可知此处指的是,你肯定会被其他人看不起,故选D,其他人。
13结合语境可知此处指的是当找工作时,现在分词作状语表示正在进行的伴随*动作,故选A,要求。
14联系下文,可知此处指的是没有自信,寸步难行。故选B,没有。
15联系前文描述,可知自信对于一个来说具有很大的重要*。本句中of是介词,后面接名词作宾语,故选D,重要*。
