2．It is polite to express your gratitude．That's not up for debate．But do you know how to respond when being thanked？
Many people，particularly in the US，reply to"thank you"with"you're welcome"．However，this has begun to change．According to the Buzzfeed website，young people use and hear"you're welcome"sarcastically（諷刺的）．And it's not just young people．To people from other parts of the world，"you're welcome"can sound rude．
Britons，for example，can't help but feel condescension（降低身份） when they hear it．The phrase is short for"you're welcome to my help"．"you're welcome"can sound like you're taking the polite comment from thanker，and bringing attention to your kindness，"Buzzfeed noted．"To some，it can sound like‘I did you a favor，you should be thankful'．"
Similarly，there are problems with"no problem"and"no worries"．To those not used to hearing them，they can sound"as though their gesture of appreciation was taken as an apology for bothering you"，said The Huffington Post．
In fact，today many young people tend to respond to being thanked with"no problem"，which older people find rude．Yet it is not just a generation probelm，but also a linguistic（語言學(xué)的） one．
Both"you're welcome"and"no problem"are phatic（寒暄的） expressions．Often English speakers use a phatic response when they don't know what else to say．They may say"I'm OK，"for example，even when they are not．They know people aren't usually asking how they are，so they answer phatically．But"because‘thank you'is a sincere expression，many common phatic responses sound empty compared to it"，Buzzfeed noted．
So what is the appropriate reply？Buzzfeed gives an answer．Just reply to"thank you"by saying"thank you"back．"This response is still phatic，but it can't be misunderstood，"said the website．
25．It can be inferred from the artical that in the USD．
A．there is no gratitude in"you're welcome"any more．
B．older people don't use"you're welcome"as often as young people．
C．professional people often use"you're welcome"as it can sound polite to them．
D．now many young people don't use"you're welcome"when replying to"thank you"
26．English speakers would say"I'm OK"even they're not becauseD
A．they don't want people to worry about them．
B．they think other expressions sound empty．
C．they are unwilling to tell others the truth．
D．they know people aren't usually asking how they are
27．What is the appropriate reply to"thank you"according to Buzzfeed？D
A．You're welcome    B．No probelm     C．No worries      D．Thank you
28．What is the text mainly about？D
A．How to show grautitude to people
B．How to respond to"thank you"
C．Some common phatic expressions in English
D．Problems with some expressions used to reply to"thank you"

分析 本文是一篇記敘文，主要說明了"You're welcome"其實(shí)并不是"Thank you"的正確回答．當(dāng)別人向你道謝時，你該說什么？美國人，聽到對方說常會用"you're welcome"．但對年輕人來說，"You're welcome"帶點(diǎn)諷刺意味．在其他一些國家，這聽上去并不禮貌．英國人就覺得這聽來有些傲慢．"You're welcome"聽上去就像你試圖不顧道謝者的禮節(jié)，強(qiáng)行凸顯你的善意一樣，你就像在說"瞧，我?guī)湍懔�，你理�?yīng)要謝謝我"．另外，"no problem"以及"no worries"同樣值得斟酌．嘴上說著"no problem"，加上無謂地聳聳肩，似乎暗示了幫忙有時候真是件麻煩事．當(dāng)你道謝時，年輕人通常會回一句"no problem"．這在老年人看來，實(shí)在太不禮貌了．這既是個代溝又是個語言學(xué)問題．別人說"thank you"（"謝謝"）時，正確的回答也是"thank you"（"謝謝"）．

解答 25-28   DDDD
25．D     推理判斷題． 根據(jù)第二段中的"Many people，particularly in the US，reply to"thank you"with"you're welcome"．However，this has begun to change．According to the Buzzfeed website，young people use and hear"you're welcome"sarcastically（諷刺的）．And it's not just young people"可知，如今的回答方式已經(jīng)改變，因?yàn)閷δ贻p人來說，"You're welcome"一語多少帶點(diǎn)諷刺意味．即年輕人認(rèn)為"You're welcome"這種回答不禮貌．故選D．
26．D     細(xì)節(jié)理解題． 根據(jù)第六段中的"Both"you're welcome"and"no problem"are phatic（寒暄的） expressions．Often English speakers use a phatic response when they don't know what else to say．They may say"I'm OK，"for example，even when they are not．They know people aren't usually asking how they are，so they answer phatically"可知，"You're welcome"和"no problem"都是客套用語，僅僅用作應(yīng)酬．我們常用客套話，是因?yàn)槲覀儾恢勒f什么．只是個口頭寒暄套話而已，其實(shí)并不一定是想知道更多的東西，因此D項(xiàng)符合語境，故選D．
27．D     細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段中的"Just reply to"thank you"by saying"thank you"back．"This response is still phatic，but it can't be misunderstood，"said the website．"可知，別人說"thank you"（"謝謝"）時，正確的回答也是"thank you"（"謝謝"），此番回答聽上去沒了諷刺味道，也不會引起歧義，故選D．
28．D     主旨大意題．縱觀全文可知，主要說明了"You're welcome"其實(shí)并不是"Thank you"的正確回答，帶點(diǎn)諷刺意味．．另外，"no problem"以及"no worries"同樣值得斟酌．別人說"thank you"（"謝謝"）時，正確的回答也是"thank you"（"謝謝"）．因此本文提及了回答"Thank  you"的一些表達(dá)方式其實(shí)都是有問題的，故選D．

點(diǎn)評 解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題時，一個常用的方法就是運(yùn)用定位法，即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子，與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行比較從而確定答案；推理判斷題既要求學(xué)生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思，又要求學(xué)生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細(xì)節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷，力求從作者的角度去考慮，不要固守自己的看法或觀點(diǎn)．

17．The devastation of Typhoon Morakot over Taiwan and eastern China is a reminder that the northwest Pacific is the most dangerous region in the world for tropical storms．The worst of these are typhoons，which are the same as hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific，or cyclones in the Indian Ocean and Australia．They all have winds of more than 118km/h （73mph） spinning around a central core．
These storms start off as a mass of thunderstorms in the tropics outside the Equator．Given the right conditions，they form a bigger and more organised storm and feed off warm seas at more than 26.5C （80F） to get the fuel that they need to become a fully-fledged（羽毛豐滿的） typhoon，hurricane or cyclone．Each storm is like a heat engine，extracting heat from the warm，humid air over the sea and turning it into phenomenal amounts of energy-equivalent to about 200times the entire world's electrical generating capacity．But warm，moist air is not enough-these storms also need slack winds aloft，because strong high-altitude winds can rip off the top of the storm clouds and send the entire storm tumbling（翻跟頭）．
The damage from tropical storms often comes from their winds，or the storm surges from the sea as the winds pile up water into a huge battering ram（沖擊夯） that floods coastlines．But the devastation from Typhoon Morakot came from its unbelievable rainfall-about a year's average rain in some places-that set off landslides and mudslides．

45．According to the first paragraph，the common point among typhoons，hurricanes and cyclones isB．
A．that they all come from the oceans
B．that they all have winds of over 118km/h spinning around a central core
C．that they all cause great damage
D．that they all can generate electricity
46．Which of the following is the best title of this passage？A
A．Typhoon Morakat devestates Taiwan and eastern China
B．How is the typhoon formed？
C．Typhoon Morakot was how to devestate the areas it travelled
D．How terrible is Typhoon Morakat!
47．The devastation from Typhoon Morakot is mainly fromB．
A．its wind                   B．its rainfall
C．landslides and mudslides   D．the storm
48．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
A．Taiwan is off the northwest Pacific
B．the damage from tropical storms often comes from their winds
C．tropical storms often happen
D．tropical storms only need warm，moist air．
