The British love to think of themselves as polite , and everyone knows how fond they are of their “pleases” and “thank yous” . Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires 65 seven or eight of these . Another 66 of our good manners is the queue . New-comers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather than football was the 67 national sport . Finally , of course , motorists generally stop at crossings . But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbours ? I think not . Take forms of address （称呼）for example . The average English person - 68 he happens to work in a hotel or department store -would rather die than call a stranger “Sir” or “Madam” . Yet in some European countries this is the most basic of common address . Our 69 “you” for everyone may appear more democratic , but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express 70 .I am all for returning to the use of “thee” and “thou”(Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for “you”); “you” would be 71 for strangers and professional relationships . And of course , the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying . Have you noticed how the British 72 ever touch ? Personally , I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming . Try kissing the average English person , and they will either take two steps backwards in horror ; or, if their escape is 73 ,you will find your lips touching the back of their head . Now what could be 74 than that ? 65．A．at least B．at most C．less than D．not more than 66．A．signal B．scene C．sign D．sight 67．A．true B．original C．superior D．advanced 68．A．if B．whether C．when D．unless 69．A．universal B．unique C．regular D．normal 70．A．politeness B．gratitude C．democracy D．consideration 71．A．ordered B．reserved C．offered D．stocked 72．A．highly B．mostly C．hardly D．nearly 73．A．confirmed B．assured C．jammed D．blocked 74．A．better B．ruder C．more polite D．more frightening V．Reading Comprehension Directions : Read the following passages . Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements . For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read .

A．attracts untidy people B．has some basic facilities C．has the best landscape D．can be contacted by email 76．If you spend your holiday in the Maldives in February ,____ .

Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness , culture -namely Asians’ hospitality （好客）-is a reason for the fatness of today’s generation , according to Chwang . “Asian people love food ,” she says. “Eating and drinking are important social and family functions .”In the past , however , big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money .
