Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2021·重庆巴蜀中学一模)Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “The British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are.” This is definitely true of British comedy. Most people think humor is about happy things, but not for the British. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be negative(消极的)．
British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy. BBC's The Office is a TV show, famous for its dry humor. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show's comedy comes from his delusions(错觉). For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewer can see that everyone hates him.
Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away, although the reality is that this man is a truly poor person.
This side of British humor is reflected(反映) in friendships as well. At university, my friends and I would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm(挖苦) quite upsetting. She didn't realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at them.
This way—laughing at everything—may sound rather depressing(沮丧), but our strange humor played a big part in British history. There is a saying in English: “ ▲ ” If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it's best to just laugh it off!
1．Which of the following can be put in the ▲ ？
A．Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone.
B．It never rains but it pours.
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D．Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.
2．How is British comedy different from other types
A．It is often meaningless and boring.
B．It often laughs at human nature.
C．It is often about negative things.
D．It often makes people feel upset.
3．How does the writer advise people to react(反应) to British humor
A．Learn from it.
B．Don't take it seriously.
C．Reply angrily.
D．Be careful not to make stupid mistakes.
4．________ best shows the structure of the passage.
(①＝Paragraph 1　②＝Paragraph 2　③＝Paragraph 3　④＝Paragraph 4　⑤＝Paragraph 5)
