A
What is it that makes people laugh? More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined (定义) jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of triumph by showing we're better than someone else in a certain way.According to Aristotle and many other philosophers，all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group of persons — that is，putting it clearly，on showing that they are worse off than ourselves.Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone else's expense.
Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes.Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us.We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin.The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society.This is probably the reason why some of the jokes，especially those involving cruelty，are so popular with certain people.
Besides，all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because it's different from things which are happening around it.The same situation can be either sad or pleasant，depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is.If a girl in a bathing suit falls into a swimming pool，we don't laugh because nothing unusual has happened.But if a man in a smart suit falls in，the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way and we laugh.A good joke-teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens，and so we laugh.
1．The underlined word “inferiority” (in Paragraph 1) means ________．
A．something that is not as good as something else
B．something that is better than something else
C．someone that is not as good as someone else
D．someone that is better than someone else
2．What will a good joke-teller always try to do?
A．Make a sad situation into a pleasant one.
B．Make different things happen at the same time.
C．Make an unexpected thing happen in an expected situation.
D．Make people laugh at something unusual and out of place.
3．What will be discussed in the following passage?
A．The opinion of other philosophers about jokes.
B．Some more situations that make people laugh.
C．More reasons why people make jokes.
D．How to be a good joke-teller.
1．解析：由下文“they are worse off”可推出。
答案：A
2．解析：由最后一段最后一句可推出。
答案：C
3．解析：考查推断文章下续题。第一段论说玩笑的定义，第二段是开玩笑的原因，第三段是怎样的情景才能让你发笑。那么跟着就应该是论说如何成为一个好的玩笑家了，所以选D。
答案：D
B
Not many years ago，a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England.He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries.When he was seventy-five，he gave ￡12，000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children's playground.
As a result of his kindness，many people came to visit him.Among them was a newspaperman.During their talk，Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be a hundred.The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five.Johnson had a sense of humour.He liked whisky and drank some each day.“I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening，” he told the newspaperman，thinking of his evening glass of whisky.
The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant.In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had a daily injection in his neck.Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain，asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

C
A sense of humour is the ability to be amused.Most people have one，and are able to laugh at this and humorous situations.In humans，it is often considered to be an important part of human development.
Why is it that several students in a class will fall out of their chairs laughing after I tell a joke，while the rest of the students look as if I've just read the weather report? Obviously，some people are more sensitive to humour than others.And，we recognize that some people tell jokes very well while others struggle to say something funny.Some people have a better sense of humour than others just as some people have more musical talent than others.
In order to learn about humour better，we should know some of the most common types of humour.They are different from the most obvious humour to the more subtle(微妙的)types，that is，“Slapstick”，“Crosstalk” and “A play on words”．
“ Slapstick” is the most obvious humour.Its language is simple and direct，and often makes fun of another person or group.It appeals to (引起……的兴趣)all ages and all cultures.Nearly every English-speaking comedian in this century has used the following joke in one form or another.One man asks another，“Who was that lady I saw you were with last night？” The other replies，“That was no lady; that was my wife.”The humour lies in the fact that the second man is saying that his wife is not a lady.In other words，she is not a refined(优雅的) woman.The joke is no less funny because it is so often used.The audience knows in advance what will be said，because it is classic humour，and any audience values it even more because of its familiarity.
8．We can infer from the second paragraph that ________．
A．students often fall off their chairs in the writer's class
B．many students are fond of listening to the weather report
C．a sense of humour is some people's gift
D．a sense of humour is necessary to everyone
9．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A．Humour should be obvious.
B．Some humour possibly makes fun of others.
C．Humour must be understood by everyone.
D．Kids can't understand “Slapstick”．
10．What can we know from the joke in the last paragraph?
A．The second man didn't go out last night.
B．The second man didn't have a wife.
C．The second man makes fun of his wife.
D．The second man's wife isn't beautiful.
11．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A．Familiar jokes. B．Crosstalk.
C．How to tell jokes. D．Obvious humour.
答案：8～11 CBCB
D
Do you want to be funny? Okay，the first thing you need to do is to relax.No one's going to throw tomatoes at you if you fail to make others laugh，and you're not going for a hard test.You just want to add some fun to your life and conversations，and appear more easygoing.So don't put so much pressure on yourself.
Don't take things too seriously.Ease up on life and yourself; get used to taking things with a grain of salt.See the humour in situations；you'll see that most situations，even getting a $200 speeding ticket or slipping over on a banana peel; have humour written all over themthe trick is finding them and being able to laugh at yourself.
You can't be funny if you don't have any references or material.The broader your general knowledge is，the easier you'll become funny.So the more you know about films，TV programs，music，and eye everything about pop cultures，the greater the chance of being funny is.Broaden your horizons(视野) and stay up to date with current events in the news.
Find your style.Avoid imitating actors and comedians because it may not suit your style.If you're not a very sarcastic (嘲笑的) person，it makes it hard to imitate someone like Chandler from Friends.If you're rather quiet，it will be nearly impossible to take on Robin Williams' or Jim Carrey's humour.
Have a joke pool.You never know when a situation calls for a joke，like if you're at a boring party，chatting with some acquaintances.Humour yourself with a joke a day to take a break from your daily tasks，and keep the ones you like best in mind.That way，you'll always have several in stock for when the time is right.
12．What does Paragraph 1 mainly advise us to do?
A．Try to be funny at any time.
B．Add some fun to our life.
C．Appear to be more easygoing.
D．Avoid putting too much pressure on ourselves.
13．When the writer says “don't take things too seriously” he probably means________．
A．we shouldn't care about what we have
B．we can find humour even in difficult situations
C．we should let others know they can laugh at us
D．we should learn to laugh at other people's bad situation
14．In order to become funny，what does the writer emphasize in Paragraph 3?
A．Gift. B．Knowledge.
C．Jokes. D．Creation.
15．What does the writer suggest NOT doing?
A．Imitating actors or comedians.
B．Learning about the current events.
C．Learning to laugh at ourselves.
D．Reading more jokes.

Keep hot objects away from the reach of children. You also mustn't leave children unattended near a bath that has water in it. If you keep furniture away from windows, you may prevent possible harm. Store all medicines, household chemicals, and so on, preferably in a locked box and do not forget to keep all dangerous substances in their original containers. In brief, if you want to protect yourself, be careful not to be sorry!

21．解析：slow意为“慢的，缓慢的，迟钝的，笨的”，表示做某事速度慢，或反应迟钝。根据上文所提供的情景“While I studies at school, I felt a great difficulty in learning my Latin translations.”可判断出由于作者在学习拉丁语翻译上存在困难，所以在使用词典方面速度很慢。quick意为“快的”，与上文所提供的情景矛盾。hard意为“困难的”，表示做某事难时，其主语是物。good意为“好的”，表示“擅长于”时，要用介词at，而不用in，同时也不符合短文内容。
答案：B
22．解析：find意为“发现”，后接most difficult作宾语补足语，表示发现使用词典困难。make / get it most difficult意为“使它变得困难”，表示人为地使使用词典变得困难起来。leave it difficult意为“让它困难”，表示让它处于困难的状态。
答案：C
23．解析：trouble意为“麻烦，困难”，while表示前后两个句子是转折关系，表示作者在学习拉丁语翻译方面存在困难，而其他的学生却没有困难。difference意为“差异，差别”，no difference意为“没有差别”，与前面的内容不构成转折对比关系。labor意为“劳动”，no labor意为“没有劳动”，指其他的学生不干活。worry意为“苦恼，愁闷，操心”。
答案：A
24．解析：根据文意：作者的朋友能够像读英语那样容易地读拉丁语。答案选D。
答案：D
25．解析：根据文意：作者的朋友在给校长写英语文章方面与作者使用拉丁语词汇方面都有相同程度的麻烦。答案选C。
答案：C
26．解析：根据文意：作者被拉丁语词汇所困扰。 可知选B。
答案：B
27．解析：tell后接双宾语，意为“讲给……听”，表示他们同意作者的朋友把拉丁语翻译讲给作者听。change意为“改变”；take意为”拿走”；forgive意为“原谅”。
答案：D
28．解析：work意为“起作用”，表示这个安排起到非常好的作用。try意为“尝试”；happen意为“发生”；develop意为“发展”。
答案：A
29．解析：satisfied意为“满意的”，指需要或愿望得到完全满足，用于人，不可用于物。所提供的情景“The arrangement worked wonderfully”和下文中的“I had to compose the essays of my friend”说明校长对作者写的文章感到满意。angry意为“生气”，frightened意为“受到惊吓的”，sad意为“悲伤的”，都不符合上下文的内容。
答案：B
30．解析：or so常用于数词或表示时间、距离等的名词之后，意为“在……左右、上下”。表示大约一周左右作者就帮助他的朋友写一篇文章。or else意为“否则，要不然”；as usual意为“像往常一样，照例”；as far不构成短语。
答案：A
31．解析：appear意为“出现”，表示几个月来没有出现困难。become后接名词或代词意为“成为”，后接形容词意为“变得”。seem意为“似乎”，常与it连用，当名词作主语时，构成seem to do sth。lie后接表示位置的介词短语意为“位于，在”。
答案：D
32．解析：all意为“叫来”或“请来”，指用语言或呼声叫某人来。call sb. to do sth.意为“叫来某人做某事”。下文的内容说明一天下午校长把作者的朋友叫去与他讨论文章。

35．解析：way意为“方法，方式”，可指具体的方法，也可指抽象的方法，多指一般的思想、行动、办事的方法，也可指个人特殊的方法、方式等。表示校长不断地赞扬文章的观点和询问作者的朋友他对这些观点的进一步想法。excitement意为“刺激，兴奋，振奋；激昂，激奋”。meaning意为“意思，意义；词义”。disappointment意为“失望，失意，沮丧；挫折”。
答案：B
36．解析：turn...into意为“把……变成……”。从上文“to the fear of my friend”可以看出，由于文章不是作者的朋友写的，当校长一再提出问题时，他感到害怕，所以这里说校长不希望把表扬变成寻找过错。
答案：A
37．解析：one意为“一个”，用于代词指代上文有不定冠词的名词，即指occasion，表示一个寻找过错的机会。none意为“没谁，没人；没有任何事物；没有任何一点”。either意为“两者中的任何一个”。some意为“有些人；有的东西”。
答案：B
38．解析：let意为“让”，let sb do sth表示“让某人做某事”，用不带to的不定式作宾语补足语。order，ask和take后接带to的不定式作宾语补足语，分别表示“命令某人做某事”、 “叫某人做某事”和“带某人去做某事”。
答案：D
39．解析：escape意为“逃避”，一般指设法躲开讨厌的人，摆脱面临的危险、不快之事或指安然摆脱某种束缚或有害环境而获得自由，强调逃脱的结果。a very narrow escape表示“差一点逃脱不了”。从上文的内容可知，由于文章不是作者的朋友写的，如果校长继续盘问下去，事情很可能败露。surprise意为“吃惊”；hope意为“希望”；chance意为“机会”。
答案：B
40．解析：translation意为“翻译”。通过这件事，作者认识到了自己的错误，所以下定决心努力把拉丁文翻译学好。reading意为“阅读”；writing意为“写作”；essay意为“文章”。
答案：C

一、请将课文“A Master of Nonverbal Humour”译成汉语，然后参考译文助读自主勘误
译文助读：
无声的幽默大师
维克多·雨果曾经说过“笑容如阳光，驱走人们脸上的冬天”，关于这一点，直到今天也没有人能比查理·卓别林做得更好。在两次世界大战以及之间的艰苦岁月里，他给英国和美国人民带来了快乐。在人们感到沮丧的时候，卓别林使他们开怀大笑，于是人们对自己的生活感到比较满足。
然而卓别林自己的生活也并不容易。他生于1889年，出身贫寒。他的父母都是杂耍戏院里贫穷的演员。你可能会感到惊奇，查理刚能说话时大人就教他如何唱歌，他刚能走路时大人就教他跳舞。这样的训练在当时的演员家庭中是很普遍的，尤其是在家庭收入不稳定的时候。不幸的是他的父亲去世了，整个家庭状况更糟了。所以查理在童年时期就要照顾生病的母亲和弟弟。在十多岁的时候，凭借着自己的幽默，查理已经在英国成为最受欢迎的童星之一。他能够不说话而仅靠动作来模仿傻子做日常的事务。看他的表演没有人会感到无聊——他巧妙的表演使得一切都那么滑稽可笑。
随着时间的推移，他开始拍电影。他塑造的可爱的“小流浪汉”角色开始闻名于世，而查理也越来越受欢迎。这个穷苦的无家可归的小流浪汉，留着小胡子，穿着大裤子、破鞋子，头顶着黑色的小圆帽。他手里拿着一根手杖迈着僵硬的步伐四处走动。这个角色是这个社会生活中的失败者，但他的乐观精神和战胜困难的决心使他受到人们的喜爱。面对并不善待他的人，这个弱者依然保持友善的态度。
然而这个小流浪汉是如何把悲凉的遭遇变得滑稽可笑的呢？这里有一个例子，来自于他最著名的电影之一《淘金记》。到19世纪末，在阿拉斯加州发现了金子。像其他很多人一样，小流浪汉和他的朋友也涌向那里去淘金，但却没有成功。相反，他们被暴风雪困在山边的一个小木屋中，没有任何东西可吃。他们饿极了，只好煮了一双皮鞋来充饥。首先，查理切下了皮鞋顶端的一块皮子并和其他人一起分享这双鞋。他努力地切并嚼着鞋底，就像在享用最好的牛排一样。然后他像吃意大利面一样，挑出鞋带来吃。他每一口都嚼得津津有味。卓别林的表演是那么有说服力，以至于你会相信这顿饭是他所吃过的最美味的一餐！
查理·卓别林自编、自导、自制他主演的电影。1972年他被授予奥斯卡特别奖，以表彰他在电影界里的杰出工作。他生活在英国和美国，却在瑞士度过了生命中最后的日子，并于1977年被安葬在那里。人们热爱和怀念这位伟大的演员，因为他鼓舞人们并增强了他们的信心。
