An “apple polisher” is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂), but is close to it.
All sorts of people are “apple polishers”， including politicians and people in high offices—just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed.
Ther e are other phrases meaning the same thing as “applepolishing”—“softsoaping”or “butteringup”. A gift is just one way to “softsoap”somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise—telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is.
Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it.
We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried aw ay by it. But if we just lap it up for its good value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.
Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣). They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless might. He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery was.
1．Which of the following activities has nothing to do with “applepolishing”？A．A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks.
B．An employee tells her boss how good he is at management.
C．A knight is said to be of limitless power by his followers.
D．A teacher praises her students for their talent and wisdom.
2．What does the writer want to prove with Cromwell's example?
A．Everybody can be an apple polisher.
B．Cromwell was not a good apple polisher.
C．George Fox and his party were not apple polishers.
D．There are people who don't like being applepolished.
3．Which of the following statements about flattery is TRUE according to the author? A．Too much flattery can carry us away.
B．Flattery is too empty to do people any good.
C．Flattery can get you nothing but excessive(过度的) pride.
D．Flattery is one of the ways to applepolished people.
4．Why did King Canute of Denmark and England take his followers to the seashore? A．Because he was sick of his normal life.
B．Because he disliked being overpraised any more.
C．Because he wanted them to realize how wise he was.
D．Because he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king.
5．Who does the author think that flattery can do good to?
A．Those who are politicians or in high offices.
B．Those who lack confidence.
C．Those who are really excellent.
D．Those who think highly of themselves.

【2013广东省广州市调研测试】
Steven Spielberg’s new movie Lincoln paints a vivid and breath-taking picture of the 16th U.S. president and his determination to end slavery. Spielberg based his film on parts of Team of Rivals, a book by Doris Kearns Goodwin. He makes Abraham Lincoln relevant today by presenting a cunning political mind trying to overcome Washington’s all too familiar political divisions.
In previous movies, Lincoln was shown as a simple yet almost perfect man. But Spielberg’s Lincoln is different. “I was determined to make a movie about a working president dealing with real problems. Not some angel,” Spielberg said.
We watch the president first ending slavery and then the war.
The film’s adviser, historian Eric Martin, explains how Lincoln's thinking evolved.
“His main objective when the war began was not the freeing of the slaves but to keep the country united. Lincoln realizes that in order to keep the country together, the question of slavery will have t o be addressed,” Martin said.
The film focuses on the last four months of his presidency.
In the movie, the arguments among political enemies seem very similar to the problems we see in Washington today. The disagreements were bitter.
The film turns to Lin coln’s relationships with his wife and kids, his beliefs and constant self-examination. Daniel Day-Lewis, the actor who plays Lincoln, offers an Oscar-worthy performance as the 16th President. Not only is his physical
similarity to the president incredible, he is able to capture many of Lincoln’s mannerisms and his high-pitched, almost lady-like voice.
“I found it very easy to play the role of Lincoln because the real man himself was so open. When I was researching his history to prepare for the part, one of the most surprising things I found was just how accessible he was. Even in war-time, when he was in great danger, he was always willing to meet with others and share his ideas,” Day-Lewis said.
Spielberg’s Lincoln will head to the Oscars. But more important it will make history.
41. What does Spielberg say is different about his movie of Lincoln?
A. It is based on a book called “Team of Rivals”.
B. It mainly shows how cunning Lincoln was.
C. It focuses on how he worked as a politician.
D. It describes how determined he was.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据I was determined to make a movie about a working president dealing with real problems.主要集中于林肯是作为一个政治家是怎样工作的，故选C。
42. According to Martin, Abraham Lincoln ______.
A. started the war to free the slaves
B. ended slavery to keep the country united
C. was killed because of his military failure
D. was forced to free the slaves
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据Lincoln realizes that in order to keep the country together, the question of slavery will have to be addressed,林肯要结束奴隶制度保持国家统一，故选B。
43. Which of the following is true about the actor who plays Lincoln?
A. He looks very similar to Lincoln.
B. His performance is very lady-like.
C. He won an Oscar for his performance.
D. He believed he really was Lincoln.
【解析】细节理解题。根据Not only is his physical similarity to the president incredible, he is able to capture many of Lincoln’s mannerisms and his high-pitched, almost lady-like voice演员看起来要和真正的林肯长相相似，故选A。
44. What is the author’s opinion about the movie?
A. It reflects historical facts.
B. It is controversial.
C. Its performances aren’t realistic.
D. It is of high quality.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据Spielberg’s Lincoln will head to the Oscars. But more important it will make history.作者对这部电影的评价很高，故选D。
45. In what section in a newspaper can this passage most probably be found?

A married man has to earn money to support his family and make important __3__ (decide), so it is right for them to be paid more. Some are even against married women

In fact women have the right __10__ to equal pay but also to equal chances.
【参考答案】【知识点】语法填空
【思路点拨】语法填空包含提示性填空题和自由填空两大类。提示填空给出了词，一般考察词类转化，这需要结合上下文的意思和平时的积累，（比如:副词修饰形容词、动词，固定搭配等）。自由填空主要是填冠词、介词、代词、连接词(含从属连词和并列连词)等虚词。如名词前面，若没有限定词（冠词、形容词性物主代词、不定代词等），很可能是填限定词。
【答案解析】
1. unfairly 修饰动词treated要用副词，根据上下文表达的是不公平地，所以用unfairly.
2. same 根据第一句Equal pay for equal work，这里干同样量的工作，妇女比男士挣的钱少。
3. decisions 固定短语 make decisions 做决定
4. working be against doing sth. 反对做某事
5. to give attention to.用于被动句时，要把to加上。
6. not be able 如果妇女受到同样工资待遇的鼓励而去工作，她们就不能干她们最擅长的事情，做做家务和照看孩子。
7. up bring up 抚养
8. the 特指在工作和家庭生活两者选择的自由。
9. or 前后选择关系
