D)信息摘录 阅读短文,然后完成内容摘要,每空不超过三个单词(共5 小题,每小题2 分)
If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she willapologize no matter whether it is his or her (过错) or not.
It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry.Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day—and one in eight peopleapologize as many as 20 times a day.
As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of othercultures. A research shows that in many cases, people’s love of saying sorry inBritain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, about 15 Britishpeople would say“sorry”while only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed, ifthey corrected someone’s mistake or if someone knocked into them.
In the old days,“sorry”was used to express regret and sadness for having donesomething wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showinggood manners. For example, they might say “sorry”instead of “excuse me”,“pardon”,“what”or“whatever”.
People in Britain also use “sorry”when they share the same feeling withothers—so they might say“sorry about the rain”.
However, British people’s use of “sorry”may make things very confusing anddifficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people inBritain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the very reason why theyapologize every day.

51. When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an Englishsentence word for word into your own language. Take the sentence “How do youdo?”for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what isyour translation? 52. 在你自己的语言中,它肯定是一个错误句子。
53. 语言不止有不同的发音。They are different in many ways. It’s importantto master the rules for the word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker putswords in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily.54. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, themeaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes when the order is changed, themeaning of the sentence doesn’t change. 55. Let’s see the difference between thetwo pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”“I have seen the moviealready.”“I have already seen the movie.
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of thelanguage and use it as the English speaker does.
