主题语境:人与社会 语篇类型:说明文
The British are known for their sense of humour.However,it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.For example,if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain,he might say,“It’s a little damp outside.” Or,if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person,someone else might say,“She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly.Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen in their everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street.They also like to make jokes on people from different classes of society.They like to make jokes about their accents,the way they dress and the way they behave.What’s more,the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society.The comedy series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.
Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.Mr Bean doesn’t talk often,and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh.Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do.Mr Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour.Because of this,many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
1.Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes
A.The British often stick to the facts.
B.British jokes are involved with many different cultures.
C.British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
D.The British try to state that something is less important than it really is.
2.How does the author mainly explain the understatement
A.By describing a process.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following the time order.
D.By using examples.
3.How does Mr Bean make people laugh
A.By using his body movements and facial expressions.
B.By making jokes about others’ accents.
C.By copying others’ behaviour.
D.By telling funny stories.

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may send the wrong signal,or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasise the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example,business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work,it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”,usually over a glass of tea,before they do any job.In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion;instead there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better,I realised that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly,English and German cultures share similar values;however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact,this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However,if we can understand them better,a multicultural environment will offer a better chance for us to understand and learn from each other.
4.What’s the benefit of eating together at restaurants in some countries according to this passage
A.People can develop closer relations.
B.People can share the same culture.
C.People can get to know each other.
D.People can keep each other company.
5.Why does the author mention his experience in Thailand
A.To show the English prefer to make long speeches.
B.To show too many words are of no use.
C.To show people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature.
D.To show even talk and silence can be culturally different.
6.According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better
A.By sharing different ways of life.
B.By accepting different habits.
C.By recognising different values.
D.By speaking each other’s languages.
7.What would be the best title for the text
A.Multicultural Environment
B.Cross-cultural Differences
C.How to Understand Each Other
D.How to Build up a Relationship

How to Say No Respectfully
Like most people,your natural instinct (本能) is probably to help others when you can. 1 Whether you’re declining an invitation to a party or turning down a new project at work,you can say no while still being respectful.Whatever the situation is,be clear,polite and firm when saying no.
Express your thanks. 2 If you have to turn someone down,express your thanks that they thought of you in the first place.You could say something like,“Thanks for considering me responsible enough to watch your kids.I’m sorry that I’m busy that evening.”
Think before you speak.If you say no immediately,it might seem like you didn’t even consider the request.In order to be respectful,take a moment to think about your answer—even if you already know what it is going to be. 3
Give a clear answer.Saying no respectfully shows that you’re honest and direct. 4 If you can’t help,say so.If someone is asking you on a date and you don’t want to go,make that clear.
5 You can say no without completely turning down the request.By setting boundaries,you can make it clear exactly what you can do and what you are willing to do.For example,you could say,“I’m not free for dinner,but I would be coming for a quick drink after work.”
A.Find a way to compromise.
B.Take a pause,and then kindly say no.
C.But sometimes,you just need to say no.
D.It’s strange to feel guilty for turning someone down.
E.Make it clear that you sincerely appreciate being asked.
F.If you feel it necessary,you can also provide a reason for your answer.
G.Do not give people false hope that you will be able to satisfy their request.

7.ourselves 考查代词。根据句意可知,此处应用反身代词。remind oneself意为“提醒自己”;这里应用ourselves与we保持一致。
8.patience 考查名词。take为及物动词,意为“需要,花费”,后跟名词。
9.about 考查介词。此处考查短语be anxious about“为……而忧虑”。
10.actually 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,此处为副词修饰谓语动词go,因此应用副词actually。分层跟踪检测(一)TOPIC TALK & LESSON 1

You probably laugh at something you find funny,but how much do you really know about jokes and humour Reader’s Digest (RD) questioned several experts to give us some facts about them.
RD:What’s the oldest joke in the world
“We can’t know the oldest joke in the world because it would have existed earlier than writing,” says Christie Davies,professor of sociology at the University of Reading in the UK.The oldest joke book that’s been found so far is the Greek Philogelos.It dates from the 19th century CE,although the jokes date from an earlier time.According to psychologist Steve Wilson,director of National Humour Month (April in the US),it contains 265 jokes.
RD:Do any people fail to develop a sense of humour
Rod Martin,professor of psychology at the Western University in Canada,believes that while everyone is born without a sense of humour,as we develop,humour and laughter begin to appear.“Of course,some children are more serious,quiet,and less likely to laugh frequently,but this doesn’t mean they don’t have a sense of humour.” And according to Steve Wilson,there are no adults who don’t have a sense of humour.“Almost everyone is able to develop a sense of humour,and I teach people how,” he says.
RD:Do people share a sense of humour unique to their own nation
The sense of humour does differ a lot by country,according to an author named Scott Weems.British humour is thought to be absurd(荒谬的) in nature,while American humour has an aggressive quality.According to a study,Germans are found to find everything funny.
1.What do we know about the oldest joke book
A.It remains unknown.
B.It was written in Greek.
C.It was found in the UK.
D.It contains the oldest joke.
2.What does Rod Martin agree with about people’s sense of humour
A.Nobody is born with a sense of humour.
B.Some adults lose it when they grow up.
C.Childhood is the best time to develop such an ability.
D.Children have a poorer sense of humour than adults.
3.What kind of humour has an aggressive feature
A.British humour.
B.German humour.
C.Canadian humour.
D.American humour.

People who write dramas,also called plays,are known as “playwrights” or “dramatists”.Some popular types of dramas include comedy,tragedy,farce,opera and docudrama.Now,I’d like to tell you some popular types of dramas.
Lighter in tone,comedies try to make the audience laugh and usually come to a happy edies put unusual characters in special situations,causing them to do and say funny edies can also be sarcastic (讽刺的) in nature,creating fun at serious topics.There are also several different types of comedies,including romantic comedy,comedy of manners,and tragicomedy—the play in which characters take on tragedy with humour while bringing serious situations to happy endings.
Tragedies are based on darker themes.Generally,tragedies show serious subjects like death,disaster and human suffering in a way that makes the audience think.Hardly enjoying happy endings,characters in tragedies,like Shakespeare’s Hamlet,are often troubled by tragic character flaws (缺点) that finally lead to their death.
A farce is a funny play in which characters overact and present physical humour.Examples of farces include the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and the hit 1980 movie Airplane!written by David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams.
Opera is a type of drama which combines theatre,dialogue,music and dance to tell stories of tragedy or comedy.Since characters express their feelings through singing rather than dialogue,performers must be both skilled actors and singers.The tragedy La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini and the comedy Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi are classic examples of operas.
A docudrama is a relatively new kind of drama.Docudramas talk about historic events or non-fictional situations.More often presented in movies and television than in live theatre,popular examples of docudramas include the movies Apollo 13 and Twelve Years a Slave.
4.What do we know about comedies
A.They don’t talk about serious topics.
B.They usually don’t have sad endings.
C.There’re always some arguments in them.
D.There’re four kinds of comedies mentioned.
5.How would people most probably react when watching plays like Waiting for Godot
A.Worried. B.Cheerful.
C.Upset. D.Thoughtful.
6.What are performers required to do in dramas like La Bohème
A.To say something funny.
B.To present physical humour.
C.To be good at acting and singing.
D.To tell stories through dialogue.
7.Who would most probably love watching docudramas
A.Girls loving romantic stories.
B.Children loving funny stories.
C.People interested in true events in history.
D.People interested in fictional situations.

The classroom environment offers many ways to include fun and laughter into a potentially dull routine,and effective educators make the most of these opportunities. 1 .
Lighten up the atmosphere

Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。《读者文摘》采访了一些专家有关幽默和笑话的问题,文章通过问答的形式再现了这些内容,具体包括:最早的幽默和笑话、幽默感的培养以及不同国家人们的幽默感差异。
1.B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“The oldest joke book that’s been found so far is the Greek Philogelos.”可知,世界上最古老的笑话类书籍是希腊的《Philogelos》,因此推断这本书是用希腊语写的。故选B项。
2.A 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Rod Martin...believes that while everyone is born without a sense of humour,as we develop,humour and laughter begin to appear.”可知,Rod Martin认为人们出生的时候并没有幽默感,幽默感是随着成长而逐渐形成的。故选A项。
3.D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“British humour is thought to be absurd in nature,while American humour has an aggressive quality.”可知,美式幽默具有攻击性。故选D项。

6.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Since characters express their feelings through singing rather than dialogue,performers must be both skilled actors and singers.”可知,因为歌剧中的角色是通过唱歌来表达情感的,所以表演者必须是技术熟练的演员和歌手。由此可知,在像《波希米亚人》这样的戏剧中,要求表演者擅长表演和唱歌。
7.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Docudramas talk about historic events or non-fictional situations.”可知,纪实剧讲述的是历史事件或非虚构的情况。由此可推断,对历史上的真实事件感兴趣的人最可能喜欢看纪实剧。

Most funny stories are based on comic situations.In spite of national differences,certain funny situations have a universal attraction.No matter where you live,you would find it difficult not to laugh at,say,Charlie Chaplin’s early films.However,a new type of humour,which starts largely from the US,has recently come into fashion.It is called “sick humour”.
Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent deaths or serious accidents.The following “sick humour” will enable you to amuse yourself.
A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas.From the moment he arrived there,he kept on bothering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home.He was afraid of having to spend Christmas in hospital.Though the doctor did his best,the patient’s recovery was slow.On Christmas Day,the man still had his right leg in plaster(石膏).
He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing.The following day,however,the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good.The man took heart and,sure enough,on New Year’s Eve he was able to hobble(蹒跚) along to a party.To make up for his unpleasant experiences in hospital,the man drank a little more than what was good for him.In the process,he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals.He was still murmuring something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.

My best friend travelled to stay with my family last weekend.When she arrived,she went straight to the kitchen and,without asking,ate some dried fruit.She wasn’t being rude.I knew she would do this.We’ve known each other for almost 20 years.She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen.Indeed,I bought her favourite fruit and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was simple.I was recovering from surgery and couldn’t go to shopping malls.But there were no quiet moments.We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade.Reunions demand conversation.
Our personalities are matched,to be sure,and a shared history is indescribably (难以形容地) valuable.We were competitors at high school before bonding.Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common.Our friendship developed itself quickly.We stayed companions and supported each other through law school and through our first jobs.Our friendship is a friendship for the ages.
There is something special about friends who know everything about you.They are rare.They have seen your achievements,your desperation and your boring routine.It’s special to unpack feelings without wasting time filling in the blanks.As my long weekend shows,with such friends we don’t have to do well,but we simply have to be ourselves.We drop the act,the performance and the public version of ourselves.The special friendships are those which never fail to delight us,whose continuation is worth the extra effort,despite distance and difference in our separate lives.I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend.I’m lucky to have found this friend,and to see a future where her companionship remains.Being together is perfection.

It was Susan’s 12th birthday.She had been expecting to receive a yo-yo (悠悠球) from her parents as her birthday gift for several months.However,she received a purple dress instead,which made her really disappointed.
“I only want a yo-yo as my birthday gift.I don’t want the dress and I hate purple,” Susan shouted at her mother when she saw the dress.“Even a five-year-old child has a yo-yo.Do you know why others don’t want to be my friends It is all because I don’t have a yo-yo.It is so boring to live in this house,” Susan said angrily.
Her mother ignored her complaints and changed the topic,saying,“Uncle Brown,Uncle Smith,Aunt Aniston and their children are coming for dinner tonight.So,you can play with your cousins.”“But,I don’t think there is anything interesting to play in the house,” Susan complained again.
The guests arrived at 6:00 pm.Susan guided the four children who came with the adults to her room.“Do you have any interesting toys,Susan ” asked Jim,one of the children.Susan felt that Jim was asking for a yo-yo.She felt embarrassed and brought out her Snakes and Ladders (蛇梯棋).All the children played the game together.Everyone enjoyed playing the game except Susan.After a little while,her cousin Sara asked,“Susan,can we go downstairs to the basement ” Susan said,“No,there is nothing interesting to play in it.”Ignoring Susan’s words,the children raced to the basement excitedly.They found there were some empty cartons,ropes,old broken toys...Upon seeing this,Sara came up with an idea—the memory game.She arranged a few things on the floor and closed her eyes.Then Jim took away an object randomly and Sara should guess what the missing object was.

Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新型幽默。尽管民族不同,有些滑稽的情节却能产生普遍的吸引力。然而,最近一种新型幽默流行起来——喜剧演员根据暴死或重大事故等悲剧情节来编造笑话。
1.D 细节理解题。从第一段第二、三句可知,对于有些著名喜剧演员的表演来说,几乎所有的人都看得懂,并且大笑起来,故D项正确。
2.A 词义猜测题。从最后一段前三句可知,医生是安慰他,告诉他有机会能够及时离开医院。console含有comfort(安慰)的意思。
3.B 推理判断题。从文章最后一段的描述可知,那个人因出院了很高兴,在聚会上多喝了一些,结果又摔断了左腿。因此,选B项。
4.A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了最近新兴的一种幽默形式。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者与朋友很多年没有见面了,因此见面以后有说不完的话。本文中作者主要分享了自己珍视的这段友谊及其对友谊的理解。
5.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But there were no quiet moments.We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade.Reunions demand conversation.”可知,作者与朋友很多年没有见面了,因此见面以后有说不完的话,据此可以推断,她们可能会一直聊过去这些年的生活经历,故选A项。
6.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As my long weekend shows,with such friends we don’t have to do well,but we simply have to be ourselves.We drop the act,the performance and the public version of ourselves.”可知,作者认为和真正的好朋友在一起时,我们只需做自己就行了,由此可推知D项正确。
7.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“whose continuation is worth the extra effort,despite distance and difference in our separate lives”可以推断,良好的友谊需要人们付出额外的努力,故选B项。
8.B 推理判断题。本文主要讲述了作者与其最好的朋友之间的友谊及其对于友谊的理解,所以作者写这篇文章主要是为了分享自己珍视的一段友谊,故B项正确。
Ⅶ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。辛辛那提地区的Jordynn和她最好的朋友Skylar创办了一个组织,专门为孩子们提供节日礼物,为受疫情影响的儿童和家庭创造了一个比以往任何时候都更快乐的圣诞节。
1.merrier 考查形容词比较级。根据后文“than ever”可知,此处应用比较级,所以填merrier。
2.was inspired 考查动词时态和语态。根据下文的“as they grew up”可知,此处应用一般过去时。主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
3.an 考查冠词。organisation为可数名词,此处表示泛指;由于organisation是以元音音素开头的单词,所以填an。
4.Growing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,grow在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语Jordynn and Skylar构成逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用动词-ing形式作状语。
5.to make 考查非谓语动词。表示“某人做某事的欲望”时要用“one’s desire to do sth”,此处用不定式作后置定语,故填to make。
6.broke 考查动词时态。所填的词是since引导的时间状语从句的谓语动词,从句描述的是过去发生的动作,所以用一般过去时。
7.as 考查介词。根据句意可知,此处表示“作为”,所以用介词as。
8.donation(s) 考查名词。句意:他们请求他们的社区捐款。空处作宾语,表示“捐赠,捐款”,故应用名词donation,此处可用单数也可用复数形式。
9.beautifully 考查副词。所填的词修饰动词wrap,所以用副词形式,故填beautifully。
10.which 考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,修饰上文整个句子,从句中缺少主语,故应用关系代词which引导;that不能引导非限制性定语从句。

When Susan arrived there later,she looked at the children in surprise.They were playing happily with what Susan considered boring.Seeing this,Susan understood that although there was no yo-yo,they could also enjoy themselves.Jim asked her to join them playing together instantly he saw Susan.It was at that moment that Susan realised she had focused too much on what she didn’t have but ignored what she had.
That night after the guests left,Susan sat alone in her room.On her bed was the purple dress given to her as a birthday gift.She thought to herself,“It seems that the dress doesn’t look that bad.Actually,I like all the clothes Mum bought for me.” She was sorry for having shouted at her mother.So she ran to Mum’s room and said,“Sorry,Mum.I should be satisfied with what I own.” Hearing the words,her mother hugged her in arms tightly,happy and touched by Susan’s change.
