【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。
对人们打招呼常用的Haveaniceday这一习语进行叙述和说明。
在不同的语境、不同的场合下,从不同人的口中说出,Haveaniceday所表达的内涵是不同的,但这个习语已经成了一种社会习俗。
1.B细节理解题。
由第一段中“...Iknowshesincerelycaresaboutwhathappenstome.”以及“wishesmewell”可知,“我”的朋友Maxie是真的关心“我”,希望“我”一切顺利,而不是仅仅担心“我”的安全问题等。
2.D细节理解题。
售货员口中说出的“Haveaniceday”,只是催促“我”带着我买的东西快出超市门口,因此她说的这句话只是一种例行程序,而不是真正地对“我”关心。
3.A细节理解题。
由第四段中“...becausesomeoneyoudon’tknowhastriedtobenicetoyou.”可知是stranger向你表示善意,因此就是“trytobepolite(有礼貌的,礼节性的)toyou”。
而陌生人之间谈不上“respect”,排除B项。
4.C细节理解题。
由“itisalwaysspoken”和“peoplesayitallthetime”可知,人们说“Haveaniceday”是一种习惯了。
5.C主旨大意题。
本题问的是本篇文章的最佳题目是什么。
Haveaniceday.从形式上看,它是一个expression;从内容上看,它是一个“问候语”。
说它heart-warming,是因为这个问候语本身表达了让人温馨的祝愿。
尽管它也用于一些其他特定的场合,表示特定的意义,但它的本质还是一个greeting,不可能是一种custom(社会习俗)。
因为custom是一个民族长期形成的风俗习惯,是一种文化,具有丰富的外延。
此题容易根据最后一段的“Althoughtheuseoftheexpressionisaninsincere,meaninglesssocialcustomattimes...”证明它是custom,这属于偷换概念,因为theuseoftheexpression不等于theexpression本身。

【语篇解读】本文主要介绍英语在全世界得到广泛应用。
6.B推理判断题。
由第一段中的“...formorethan376millionpeopleEnglishistheirmothertongue.AnequalnumberofpeoplelearnEnglishasasecondlanguage.”可推知,把英语作为第二语言学习的人数也是morethan376,000,000。
7.A细节理解题。
由第三段第二句可以得知,多数国际组织把英语作为工作语言。
8.D主旨大意题。
本文主要讲述英语在当今世界应用之广。
9.B推理判断题。
由短文最后一段可知,那些来中国的商人和游客没必要会说汉语,只需要说英语即可。
此外,每天用英语交流的人非常多。
由此推出,随着世界各地学英语的人数的增加,英国人可能发觉自己没有必要学习其他语言了。
