What is the best title for the passage? A. Soil and Waste B. Plants and Animals C. Food and Waste D. Soil and Food Ⅺ:It is sometimes said that the English are polite people . This can make life difficult for foreigners . Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says , “If I finish my work , I’ll meet you in the cafe at 7 o’clock . Is she saying “ yes or “ no to his invitation ? In grammatical terms , she is using the conditional structure . By using the conditional , speakers of English can avoid giving a “yes or “no answer to a question . It enables people to be diplomatic . If the girl doesn’t want to go out with the boy , she won’t turn up at the cafe . She will let him understand she is still working . If she wants to go out with him , but doesn’t want to appear too easy to catch , she has achieved that with her reply . But in this case , as she uses the first conditional which shows probability , she is quite likely to turn up at the cafe . Being polite can make life very difficult ! The conditional is often used by people in the news -- politicians , for example -- who wish to avoid speaking out their ideas . This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement . No one wants to give away his or her points before he or she starts . A government spokesman might say to a group of workers , “If we could pay you more , we would . The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional form , which shows improbability . So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise . “If is a small word , which appears often in the English language . It can show politeness , reported speech and conditionals such as the First -- probability -- if I can come to your party , I will ; the Second -- improbability -- if I saw you tomorrow , I’d give you the book ; and the Third -- impossibility (meaning it is too late to change something that has happened ) -- if you have told me , I would have helped you . 注:conditional structure 表示条件的句式 avoid 避免 diplomatic 婉转的 achieve 达到 politician 政客 查看更多

仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter(粪) from animals also falls on it. All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals' waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers(化肥) are also very useful. The same crop(庄稼) should not be grown in the same place every year. It's better to have a different crop. A change in crops and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.
