(2018·河南郑州第一次质量检测)The hit movie NottingHill(诺丁山) 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 TheTelegraph 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 meanings.
Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing.
语篇解读：本文通过一些电影情节和报道，告诉我们英国人在日常生活中过度使用“对不起”，这现象有其历史原因，并导致“对不起”这个词已经失去了它的一些应有之意。
5．Why does the author mention a scene in the movie NottingHill 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.
[解析] 推理判断题。根据第一段“The hit movie NottingHill(诺丁山) 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.’”可知，作者介绍的是电影中的英国人休·格兰特在撞到他人并洒了对方一身橙汁后不断道歉的场景，目的是让我们注意英国人什么时候和怎样说对不起。故选D项。
[答案] D
6．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. [解析] 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in British class system.”可知，英国的心理学作家马克·蒂雷尔认为他们的道歉倾向深植于英国的阶级体系中。故选C项。
[答案] C
7．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. [解析] 推理判断题。文章提到英国人过度使用“对不起”这一现状，现在人们道歉可能只是为了避免冲突，这个词已失去它本来的一些含义，由此可知说“对不起”越频繁，并不意味着这个人越有礼貌。故选D项。
[答案] D
8．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A．To explore 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.
