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(潮湿的) 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 annoying 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 things that happen to our everyday life when someone falls over in the street.They also like to
make jokes of people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents (口音 ), the way they
dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies(喜剧) about people who do not know how
to behave in society. The famous Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.
Mr Bean is the role played by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his
body movement 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 wouldn't do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to
speak English to understand the humour. As a result, British sense of humour has become well known to many people.
24. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes
A. British jokes cover too many cultures.
B. Foreigners cannot speak English fluently.
C. The British seldom fully express how they really feel.
D. British jokes are not as funny as those in other countries.

Clara packed her things at the office and went to her boss, "It's been a pleasure working with you, but I'm leaving my job,"
she turned and left.
"Why do you get home so early " asked her sister Sally.
"The Civil War is taking its toll on the Union soldiers. I need to help them." Sally looked around the room. "I'm going
with you." The two volunteered at a hospital where soldiers received treatment.
After several months, Clara became worried. "Sally, this isn't enough. I need to help the soldiers in the field and on the
front lines. I'm leaving in the morning."
Sally looked surprised. "Clara! You can't. It's too dangerous!"
"The front line soldiers who need help are in greater danger."
Clara got donations (捐赠物) from wherever she could and used her own savings to buy things that soldiers need. She also
organized men to give help, carry water, and prepare food for the wounded.
Months later, Clara finally made it to the front line. The wounded soldiers were so thankful for what she had done; they
even named her the Angel of the Battlefield.
After the Civil War ended, Clara went to Europe to rest her body and mind. So many years of helping soldiers and their
families had worn her down.
While visiting Switzerland, Clara learned of the Intentional Red Cross. Its aim of helping war victims(受害者) around the
world created interest and excitement in Clara. It also encouraged an idea. When she returned home, Clara worked to start an

Is looking fashionable (时髦的) more important than being comfortable Many people seem to think so, judging (判
断)by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on
extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as
high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapes that limit (限制) blood flow. Men and women alike
spend time and money on products that change their natural hair colour or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a
day in front of a mirror. Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort on changing what they look like
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much
discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first
place, "What people wear does not say anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours in choosing a dress,
perhaps you should call your friends and do something together, such as playing soccer or badminton. Instead of going on
strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise By doing these things,

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How we feel about ourselves can influence how we live our lives. People with good self-esteem (自尊心) have better
relationships. 36 People who believe they can achieve goals and solve problems are more likely (可能) to do well in
school. Having good self-esteem allows you to accept yourself and live life to the fullest.
If you want to improve your self-esteem, here are some steps:
37 Accept that you will make mistakes because everyone does. Mistakes are part of learning.
Try to stop thinking negative (消极的 )thoughts about yourself. If you're used to focusing on your weaknesses, start

new skills you develop.
39 If you realize that you're unhappy with something about yourself that you can change, then start today. If it's
something you can't change (like your height), then start to work towards loving yourself the way you are.

Flight BA030 to Boston leaves in an hour. To kill time, the man stepped into the airport restaurant and ordered a cup of
coffee. He noticed that there were two beautiful young women next to him. The black-haired one was wearing a brown coat
and carried a heavy black bag. The other was a blonde (金发女子) in a white coat. They were in deep conversation, but soon
separated.
He saw the black-haired woman again when he was buying a magazine and soon realized that someone was pushing
him. After he found out who it was, he gave her a little smile.
“Busy place," he said.
The woman looked up at him and a strange expression crossed her face and soon disappeared. She moved away from
him and joined the crowds (人群) in the airport.
The man was at the counter (柜台) with his magazine, but when he reached into his pocket for his wallet, the pocket
was empty. Where could I have lost it He thought. The black-haired woman was so near to me. All at once he understood
that she had picked his pocket.
What was he to do He would have to do something about the lost credit cards—call home, have his wife get the
numbers out of the top desk drawer, phone the card companies — so difficult a process.
When he decided to find a policeman, he was shocked to see the black-haired woman again. She was seated against a
front window, reading a book. A seat beside her was empty, and the man sat on it.
"I've been looking for you," he said.
She raised her head and looked at him, "I don't know you."
"Sure you do. You stole my wallet," he said.
"Excuse me " the woman said.
"I knew you did — at the magazine counter. If you give it back, I can forget the whole thing. If you don't, then I'll hand
you over to the police."
"All right," she said. She pulled the black bag onto her leg, and took out a wallet from it,
He took it from her. "Wait a minute," he said, "This isn't mine."
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
All of a sudden, the woman stood and ran away。
As he was about to catch the black-haired woman, something unexpected happened.
