　　Directions:

　　In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 1-5, choose the most suitable one from the list A—G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps.

　　The attitude that intolerance is an evil is especially strong in Britain, where tolerance has been elevated into the Great National Virtue. 1) Listen to any public debate or radio phone-in about immigration and you will hear people reiterating this view. Only the British, they say, would have allowed so many black and brown people into their country, would have treated them so well, given them jobs, put them on the National Health Service, and so on. 2)

　　Their conclusion, of course, gives the game away, for the tolerance they are talking about does not in fact exist but is invented as a justification for present intolerance. 3) Tolerance, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is "the disposition to be patient with or indulgent to the opinions and practices of others" and "freedom from bigotry or undue severity in judging the conduct of others". Can we honestly claim to be more lavishly bestowed with these attributes than people of other nations? I do not think so.

　　4) But this does not mean they are particularly indulgent to other people's behaviour. Do anything out of the ordinary — give a party, for example — and your neighbours will soon begin to bare their teeth. Try starting a business or opening a restaurant in a predominantly residential area, and all hell breaks loose.

　　The British tend to be very critical of continental drivers, whom they accuse of uncontrolled aggressiveness. But while British drivers may be rather more reliable about sticking to the rules of the road, they are dangerously intolerant of other drivers who, in their view, are doing things they shouldn't be doing. 5) In fact, I am much more frightened of British drivers than I am of French or Italian ones, for you can at least be reasonably confident with the latter that, unlike the British, they are not prepared to die — and take you with them — in order to prove a point.

　�。跘］I myself may sometimes be incompetent or a bit too pushy as a driver but I have often been a victim of verbal abuse and terrifying revenge manoeurres quite out of proportion to any offence that I may have committed.

　　［B］We believe ourselves to be unique among nations in our generosity of spirit and our readiness to put up with all kinds of people.

　�。跜］What is called tolerance may often be just unassertiveness or timidity, for it is true that most English people do not relish public rows or confrontations and will go to some lengths to avoid them.

　�。跠］I will exclude from my reproof the animal sentimentalists and those who consistently reject cruelty in any form.

　�。跡］It is a thoroughly hypocritical posture which makes one wonder whether British claims to being especially tolerant have any validity at all.

　�。跢］British attitudes to bad habits like smoking and drinking also tend to be intolerant and are getting more so.

　�。跥］And this, they conclude, is why no more of them should be allowed in.

　　答案及詳解

　　1.B。這句話的意思是說“我們認為我們寬宏大量的態(tài)度和愿意容忍各種人的行為的想法在各國之中是獨一無二的”，可見，這句話是用來承接第一句的，進一步說明寬容已上升為英國的一種偉大的國家美德。

　　2.G。文章的第二段開頭就指出，那個結論，使英國人的寬容之說露出了馬腳（give the game away），那么當然在那之前，應該說明他們的結論到底是什么。

　　3.E。這句話的意思是“這是一種徹頭徹尾的虛偽姿態(tài)，這種姿態(tài)使人們懷疑，英國人所聲稱的特別能容忍的說法是否能站得住”這也是用來承接前一句的，因為前面已經說明“他們所說的寬容并不是實際存在，而是編造出來為觀念的偏狹辯護的”。

　　4.C。這句話的意思是“究竟什么是寬容有時也是不確定的，因為事實上大部分英國人并不愿意在公眾中爭吵和對抗，并且會盡量避免它們”。這里應注意下一句中的轉折詞“But ...”，可見，它是將這句話進行了否定，并例舉了幾個例子�！斑@并不意味著他們能夠容忍人們的行為”這樣就正好呼應上了。

　　5.A。這句話的意思是“（作為一個司機），有時我自己可能不太夠格或者有點莽撞，但我經常遭到辱罵和可怕的報復，這對我可能犯過的過失而言，未免太過分了”，從文章的最后一段我們看出，全段都在講述英國人對司機的嚴厲與偏狹，而這里插入這樣一個例子，正好說明了問題。

　　F。這句話是說英國人對那些嗜煙酗酒的人的態(tài)度將更不能容忍，這句話是對的，可是在全文中沒有涉及，故不能選填。

　　D。這句話的意思是“我不譴責那些同情動物者和那些一直反對任何形式的對動物的殘酷行為的人”，這也從一個側面反映了英國人對動物的冷淡，但同樣沒有在全文中提及，故不能選填。

　　中心思想

　　本文論的是英國人的“寬容”，可是它從多個角度，多個方面，論證了英國人寬容的虛偽性，揭露了他們寬容的本質。
