“Thank you” is widely (76) in a modern society. It is a very good manner. You should say “Thank you” (77) others help you or say something kind to you. For example: when someone (78) the door for you, when someone says you have done your work well, when someone says you have (79) a nice shirt, or your city (80) very beautiful, you should say “Thank you”. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, (81) between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.

“Excuse me” is (82) short polite usage. We use it as the same as “Thank you”. When you hear someone say so behind you, you’d got to know that somebody wants to walk past you without (83) you. It is not polite to interrupt (打断) others while they are (84). If you want to have a word with one of them, please say “Excuse me” (85), and then begin to talk. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others. Let’s say “Thank you” and “Excuse me” on the right occasion.

第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面的短文，并完成短文后的任务。
Draw a giraffe in your mind. How did you draw your giraffe? Does it have a long neck? Does it have long legs? Is it really tall? When people think of giraffes, they think of their long necks. A long neck and four long legs make the giraffe the tallest land animal on earth. A giraffe is 1.8m tall when it is born, and some giraffes get up to 6m tall when they are all grown up.

But did you know that giraffes also have long tongues? Have you seen the tongue of a giraffe before? A giraffe has a very long tongue which can hold and wrap (包) around objects. The tongue is designed for feeding, but it can be used in many different ways. For example, a giraffe can close its nose with its long tongue completely to keep out sand and dust. Also, a giraffe’s tongue is long enough to clean its owner’s ears as well!

The tongue is black in colour to protect it from getting sunburnt (晒伤). It is nearly 56cm long. Giraffe only eat plants, and a full grown giraffe can eat 33kg of leaves a day. When giraffes look for some tall trees to eat, they sometimes fight with elephants for food. Giraffes use their tongue to eat leaves from some tall trees. The giraffe’s tongue is a helpful tool for reaching leaves and breaking off branches.
