26、The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says, “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.”

His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts’ character were from the Britain, then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the movie, as Roberts is from the US.

A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street—regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if they mishear someone, they say “Sorry?” The person they are talking to will also apologize by replying, “No, I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as they compete over who is the most sorry.

Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in British class system. “We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologize for not being the working class, but also for really being the upper class.” Another theory is that they apologize to avoid conflicts. For example, if they bump into someone, he might get angry. To avoid this, they instantly say “Sorry!”

True manners are about being considerate, and today’s constant use of apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word “sorry” has lost some of its meaning.

Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.

【1】Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning?

A．To give an example of British modesty.

B．To introduce different ways of saying sorry.

C．To show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK.

D．To draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry.

【2】Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrell agree with?

A．People should not apologize if they are not responsible.

B．Americans care less about manners than British people do.

C．That British people apologize so much is linked to the class system.

D．British people care too much about which social class they are from.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．It’s unnecessary for British people to be so polite.

B．The overuse of apologizing shows Britons are truly sincere.

C．People should not stick to the traditional use of the word “sorry”.

D．Using “sorry” more doesn’t necessarily mean people are more polite.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A．To show the best way of saying sorry.

B．To explain why Britons overuse the word “sorry”.

C．To show how saying sorry has changed over time.

D．To suggest many British people lack traditional manners.

27、Like the move from horse-drawn carriages to vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines, the change from cars powered by fossil fuels to electric vehicles (EVs) will have a profound effect on personal transport. The Epidemic worldwide caused a 20% drop in global light vehicle sales in 2020, to about 70m, but they pick up in 2021. And the proportion of vehicles powered by batteries will grow quickly.

The increasing share price of Tesla, provides a big motivation for newcomers to catch up. Tesla may lead in battery technology and software, but to make those advantages stick, it must prove that “production hell” is behind it. Scaling up manufacturing has caused Tesla its biggest headaches.

Big name carmakers face an equally discouraging challenge: learning how to write software. Electric cars require integrated software, not just to ensure that batteries and motors work together to provide the best performance, but to connect the car to the outside world.

And what of the Tesla followers, from China’s Li, Nio and Xpeng to American firms such as Fisker, Lucid and Nikola? Cash from excitable investors has poured in and it is the same with big name carmakers — as are tech giants, keen to get involved as transport goes digital. Can the followers persuade investors that they have patent technology that will give them a long-term advantage?

Eye-catching Advertisements of vehicles are one thing, but as the industry’s trouble shows, working out how to make cars at scale, when softwares are as important as brakes and bodywork, is quite another. The coming year will make clearer which of Tesla’s competitors, new and old, can stay in race.

【1】Which word best describes the trend of electric cars industry?

A．Uncertain.

B．Challenging.

C．Disappointing.

D．Promising.

【2】Why is Tesla in trouble?

A．Its production capacity has become a bottleneck.

B．It may lose its advantage in software writing.

C．Its advertising is considered to be exaggerating.

D．It has to compete with many capable newcomers.

【3】Which statement about Tesla’s competitors is TRUE?

A．Their share prices are catching up with those of Tesla.

B．They are all receiving money from eager investors.

C．Their problem lies in improving brakes and bodywork.

D．They are mostly well-established companies.

【4】Which is the best title of the passage?

A．New EV Companies Are Catching up

B．The Battle Within the EV Industry

C．Electric Cars—Your Future Choice

D．Production Capacity—a Headache of EV Industry

28、Staying in touch during the pandemic means reaching for the phone to call friends and loved ones while we’re apart. 【1】 The situation can lead to fear and leave them exhausted.

Many people dislike phone calls, but those with phone anxiety will often delay and avoid calls or feel nervous before, during, and after a call. 【2】

If you feel worried about talking on the phone, you probably feel pressure about time limits, awareness of your performance, and just rules of phone etiquette(礼仪).

【3】 First, try to adapt to the way that you think about the call. Consider why you are feeling nervous. You might say to yourself “If so-and-so didn’t want to talk, then they wouldn’t have answered” or “So what if I trip over my words? 【4】” The key is changing your thought process in order to see that what seems like a big deal to you isn’t for the other person.

【5】 Make sure it’s an achievable one. It might be to talk for ten minutes and ask two questions. That’s a much more reachable goal than one such as “Make sure to sound excited.” When the call is done, take time to figure out what went well to motivate yourself.

Over time, set higher goals, and with more exposure, your anxieties will ease. Practice will make you more confident to stop postponing and start dialing.

A．Then, set a goal.

B．Next, find a reason to encourage yourself.

C．So, then, how do we get over phone anxiety?

D．Here are some useful examples for you to follow.

E．It won’t be the first or last time they’ll hear a mistake.

F．But for some people making a phone call means being filled with stress.

G．There are several reasons that contribute to phone fears and several ways to handle them.
