Ⅱ．能力提升
A．阅读理解
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
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 them—the 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 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.
(　　)1．The writer wrote this passage mainly to tell us ________.
A．why being funny is important B．how to be happy in our life
C．how to learn to be funny D．why he is so funny
(　　)2．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.
(　　)3．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 situations
(　　)4．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.
B．七选五阅读

Ali and his younger sister， Zahra lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job， and they have only a little money to buy food. As they have not paid the rent for several months， the landlord was breathing down their necks(紧盯他们).
One day， Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoes repairman to be fixed， but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappeared， so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning， so she would wear them first. After school， she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school， which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could， Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes， he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start， but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache(疼痛). Getting more and more tired， he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes that he would win for his sister gave him strength， and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners. Determined to finish third. Suddenly， as the finishing line drew near， another runner collided(碰撞)with Ali from behind and he fell onto the ground.
注意：

2.至少使用5个短文中标有下画线的关键词语；
3.续写部分为两段，每段的开头已为你写好；

Paragraph 1：
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. 　

　

　

Paragraph 2：
Filled with pleasure， Ali walked home quickly. 　

　

　

One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point， he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He crossed the finishing line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down， Ali couldn't help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was knocked out of the game for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest， Ali felt overjoyed as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Paragraph 2：
Filled with pleasure， Ali walked home quickly. He couldn't wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival， Ali found Zahra was waiting outside nervously.
“Zahra， see what I have got for you，” Ali said excitedly， taking the prize out of his bag. The instant Zahra saw the shoes， her eyes lit up. So happy was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you！ Ali.” Tears of joy filled their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Mr.Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films.He constantly gets into awkward and absurd situations，which greatly amuses audiences regardless of their nationalities or culture.The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language，which is universal.
One of my favourite shows is that Mr.Bean has a meal in a fancy restaurant.After being seated at his table，Mr.Bean takes out a card，writes a few words on it，seals(密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table.After a moment，he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised，as if he did not know it was there.He opens it to find a birthday card and delightedly puts it on the table for everyone to see.
When he looks at the menu，an astonished look swiftly appears on his face.He takes all the money out of his wallet，counts it and puts it in a saucer(茶托)．He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile.Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”．When the dish arrives，he is shocked to discover that“steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger.He makes an attempt to eat it，but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting.He cannot hide his feelings，except when the waiter asks if everything is all right.When this happens，he smiles and nods，indicating that everything is fine.When the waiter is not looking，however，he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach－the sugar bowl，the tiny flower vase，inside a bun (小圆面包) and under a plate.He becomes so desperate in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant’s violinist!
I like to watch Mr.Bean on TV，but I wouldn’t like to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldn’t like to have dinner with him!
(　　)1．From the passage we know that Mr.Bean is ________.
A．famous for directing films
B．famous for his spoken English
C．well?known for making films
D．known for his body language and amusement in his comedies
(　　)2．Why is Mr.Bean famous all over the world?
A．He often eats in special restaurants.
B．He entertains the audience from different countries.
C．He only acts on TV.
D．He acts on body language and spoken language.
(　　)3．What does the underlined word “disgusting” in the third paragraph mean?
A．Tasting delicious. B．Smelling good.
C．Feeling sick. D．Looking fine.
【答案】1－3 DBC

Unit 3　A taste of English humour
Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
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 4th century AD, although the jokes date from an earlier time.According to psychologist Steve Wilson, director of National Humor Month (April in the US), it contains 265 jokes.
RD: Do some 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?
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.

【语篇解读】本文是应用文。文章通过访谈为读者传递了一些有关笑话和幽默的知识。
1．B　细节理解题。由第一个问题的回答中的“The oldest joke book that’s been found so far is the Greek Philogelos.”可知，迄今为止发现的世界上最古老的笑话书是希腊的Philogelos。
2．A　细节理解题。由第二个问题的回答中的“everyone is born without a sense of humour”可知，没有人先天就具有幽默感。
3．D　细节理解题。由最后一个问题的回答中的“American humour has an aggressive quality.”可知答案。
4．A　推理判断题。根据第一段中的Reader’s Digest及文章的形式、内容可知，本文应选自畅销杂志。
B
A sense of humour can brighten the family life. You can put on a silly hat and chase a 3?year?old kid, or pretend to fall into a pile of leaves to amuse a first?grader. As kids grow into preteens (about 11 or 12) and teens (13 to 19), you can share jokes as their sense of what’s funny becomes better.
Humour is what makes something funny; a sense of humour is the ability to recognize it. Someone with a well?developed sense of humour has the ability to recognize what’s funny in others and can amuse them as well.
A good sense of humour is a tool that kids can rely on throughout life to help them. Kids with a well?developed sense of humour are happier and more optimistic, have higher self?esteem, and can handle differences (their own and others’) well. And a good sense of humour doesn’t just help kids emotionally or socially. Research has shown that people who laugh more are healthier—they’re less likely to be depressed and may even have an increased resistance to illness or physical problems. They experience less stress, have lower heart rates, pulses, and blood pressure, and have a better digestion (消化能力). Laughter may even help humans better endure pain, and studies have shown that it improves our immune (免疫的) function. But most of all, a sense of humour is what makes life fun.
We tend to think of humour as part of our genetic make?up, like blue eyes or big feet. But it’s not true. A sense of humour actually is a learned quality. Kids can start developing a sense of humour at a very young age. Babies don’t really understand humour, but they do know when you’re smiling and happy. When you make funny noises or faces and then laugh or smile, your baby is likely to sense your joy and imitate(模仿) you. Sometime between 9 and 15 months, babies know enough about the world to understand that when Mom puts a piece of cloth on her head, she’s doing something unexpected and that it’s funny. To help kids at each stage of development, parents should know what’s likely to amuse them.
(　　)5．Which of the following people do you think can best share jokes with their parents?
A．A newborn baby. B．An eleven?year?old kid.
C．A five?year?old kid. D．A fifteen?month?old baby.
(　　)6．It can be concluded from the third paragraph that a good sense of humour ________.
A．is one of the most important things needed for a kid to succeed
B．helps kids make more friends throughout their life
C．can improve a kid’s mental and physical health
D．may sometimes cause embarrassment
(　　)7．Which of the following statements about a sense of humour is NOT true?
A．It can make the family life bright.
B．It is something that kids can rely on for all their life.
C．It is something people are born with.
D．It is the ability to recognize humour.
(　　)8．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The reason why people should develop a sense of humour.
B．The characteristics of kids’ sense of humour at different ages.
C．Tips on how to develop a good sense of humour.
D．The importance of a good sense of humour for kids.
【语篇解读】幽默感能够使整个家庭及其成员健康快乐，特别是对孩子来说尤为重要。家长可以根据孩子的年龄特点和身心发展来培养孩子的幽默感。
5．B　细节理解题。根据第一段的“As kids grow into preteens (about 11 or 12) and teens (13 to 19), you can share jokes as their sense of what’s funny becomes better.”可以判断，一个十一岁的孩子是可以很好地分享笑话的。
6．C　推理判断题。第三段内容介绍了幽默感对孩子的身心健康有好处。
7．C　细节理解题。根据第四段的“We tend to think of humour as part of our genetic make?up, like blue eyes or big feet. But it’s not true. A sense of humour actually is a learned quality.”可知，幽默感不是与生俱来的，而是后天习得的。
8．D　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，这篇文章主要讲了幽默感对孩子的重要性。

__1__ Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and mental scars (创伤). Often they relive (重温) these experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly remove, the effects of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the USA and France. The drug stops the body giving out chemicals that fix memories in the brain. __2__
__3__ Some think it is a bad idea while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
“__4__ They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions，” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry. “This could relieve (减轻) a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). __5__“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were frightening at the time but make us who we are，” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
A．Not all memories are sweet.
B．Memories are kept in our mind.
C．Some memories can ruin people’s lives.
D．Memories sometimes bring us happiness.
E．The research has caused a great deal of argument.
F．They also help us all stay away from the mistakes of the past.
G．So far the research has shown that only the mental effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are removed.

【答案与解析】
1．B　首句已经交代，卓别林是举世闻名的喜剧演员，故此处B项最符合文意。
2．D　until意为“直到……”，是四个选项中唯一符合文意的连词。
3．B　appearance在此意为“出场”。
4．C　卓别林的形象众所周知，他个子小却穿着一双大鞋；另外，后文有feet一词暗示。故选shoes。
5．D　此处往后至文章结尾，描写的是卓别林的一系列的滑稽动作：他在雪中挣扎，从窗户上跌下来，同身材比自己大一倍的男人抗争，或是爱上对他不屑一顾的女人。
6．B　size常表示体型的大小；greatness意为“伟大”，用于抽象的概念。
7．A　hardly意为“几乎不”，含否定意味。
8．A　play在此是“扮演(角色)”之意。
9．D　be in trouble是习惯搭配，意为“处于困境”。
10．D　never give up意为“从不放弃”，符合文意。
11．A　people之前有even一词着重强调。
12．C　enjoy有“欣赏”之意。
13．B　卓别林早期所演的电影是无声电影。
14．D　这一句与后两句道出了卓别林喜剧的特色：不依赖语言，而是以细微的动作(little actions)取胜。
15．A　靠的是小动作来打动人。
16．C　人类文化有一个共性，这一部分文化在全世界是相通的，因而能被全世界的观众所理解。
17．A　要躲避他的敌人，藏在一位肥胖妇女的后面或者是桌子底下是没用的，但卓别林这样做恰恰增加了喜剧的色彩。
18．C　根据这句话的前半部分可知，他衣着华丽是为了假装富有和地位显赫。
19．B　这句话的意思是：他使我们笑得那么情不自禁，那么无法抗拒。
20．D　这就是卓别林取得巨大成功的秘密所在。
Ⅳ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1．5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In the summer holiday, I paid a visit 1．__________ Qingdao. It is a long and 2．__________(bore) journey. But the moment I arrived, I 3．__________(fall) in love with the city. It’s so beautiful a city 4．__________ I can hardly find any word to describe 5．__________. The streets are clean and the sky is blue.

You can never be too 10．__________ (care) when you are crossing the street.
【语篇解读】本文介绍暑假的青岛之旅。
1．to　短语pay a visit to sp. 意为“参观或访问某地”，是固定短语。
2．boring　bored意为“厌烦的”，表示人的感受；boring意为“令人厌烦的”，表示事物的特征。该句指旅程令人厌烦，故用boring修饰journey。
3．fell　该句时间状语是the moment I arrived，表示发生在过去的事情，故谓语动词用过去时态。
4．that　so…that　如此……以至于。
5．it　此处用it代替前面的city。
6．a　句意：一条船或一艘轮船。故填a。
7．is permitted　句意：如果被允许，你也可以钓鱼。句中含情态动词，表示将来的意思，所以后面的条件状语从句用一般现在时态，因为表示被动，故填is permitted。
8．However　however意为“但是”。前面介绍的是在青岛旅游好的方面。后面讲述那儿交通不好。上下文之间是转折关系。故填however。
9．which　要修饰前面整个句子，故用which引导非限制性定语从句。
10．careful　be后面跟形容词作表语。故填careful。

第二节　概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many people are fond of listening to music. Whether it's light music or jazz music， it can improve our moods. Music has been with us since very early times in human history. Have you ever wondered how music might affect our health？
Research shows that having musical training and listening to or playing music at an old age can help keep the brain healthy. Since listening to music is like exercising the brain， one can expect the benefits of a better memory and mental sharpness as he or she ages.
Music can make you feel happy， excited or even cheer you up. Listening to music that touches you in a special way causes your brain to release dopamine， which is known as a “feel?good” chemical. It causes us to feel happy and excited. Listening to music provides us with the same burst of happiness that we would get from eating a piece of chocolate.
Music can strengthen the heart and shorten the recovery time of patients who are suffering from heart disease. A study found that heart disease patients who listened to music for 30 minutes had lower blood pressure， lower heart rates and less sadness than those who didn't. researchers from Drexel University found that cancer patients who either listened to music or worked with a music therapist had better blood pressure levels and improved moods.
Music can reduce levels of the stress hormone which weakens the immune system， increases the risk of heart disease， affects learning and memory and lowers bone density(骨密度)， etc. Research found that by listening to just 50 minutes of uplifting music， the levels of antibodies in the human body increased.
Recently research has found that listening to music promotes better sleep patterns for people and even creates more restful sleep. In some cases， music might even be able to be used to effectively treat sleeplessness. Music can have positive effects on the soul and the quality of life as well.

　

　

One possible version：
Music has been part of our lives since ancient times and it benefits our health(要点1). Music can keep the aging brain healthy and make us happy or cheer us up(要点2). As for its medical benefits， music is good for patients with heart disease， high blood pressure or cancers， and can strengthen our immune system(要点3). Besides， music can help us sleep well and positively affect our souls and life quality(要点4).

动词?ing形式作定语、表语和宾语补足语
一、基础点拨
动词?ing是一种非谓语动词形式，具有双重性。因为是由动词变化而来，所以它具有动词的特征，但作为非谓语动词，它又具有名词、形容词或者副词的特征。
动词?ing是非谓语动词形式，没有人称和数的变化，但是它有时态和语态的变化。从时态角度划分，它具有一般式和完成式两种形式。从语态角度划分，它具有主动式和被动式两种形式。
(一)动词?ing的形式
时态和语态：
动名词 主动语态 被动语态
一般式 doing being done
完成式 having done having been done
动名词的
否定式 主动语态
否定式 被动语态否定式
一般否定式 not doing not being done
完成否定式 not having done not having been done
(二)动词?ing作定语
1．说明被修饰名词的功能或用途。这时，一般是单个动词?ing而不是短语，放在被修饰的名词前面。可以转换成for短语修饰该名词。这时的动词?ing是动名词。
a sleeping bag＝a bag for sleeping睡袋
a reading room＝a room for reading阅览室
a drinking cup＝a cup for drinking饮水杯
a writing desk＝a desk for writing写字台
2．说明名词的动作、特征或性质。这时的动词?ing是现在分词，它与被修饰的名词是逻辑上的主动关系。
a sleeping boy＝a boy who is sleeping一个正在睡觉的男孩
a drinking horse＝a horse which is drinking一匹正在饮水的马
【注意】
动词?ing、不定式和动词?ed作定语时的区别：
(1)不定式作定语表示动作尚未发生，与所修饰的名词构成动宾或主谓关系。若不定式逻辑主语同时也为句子主语，用主动表被动，反之用被动。
I’m leaving for Shanghai.Do you have anything to be taken there?
我准备去上海，你有什么要捎的吗？

(2)动词?ing作定语表动作正在进行或习惯性、经常性的动作；动词?ed作定语表动作完成，与所修饰的名词构成动宾关系。
Our class went on an organized trip last Monday.
上周一我们班开展了一次有组织的旅行。
单句语法填空
①You need a __________(drive) license.
句型转换
②The boy who broke the rule was punished by his teacher.
＝The boy _______ the rule was punished by his teacher.
③Her uncle, who works as a professor, lives in Oxford.
＝Her uncle, ________ as a professor, lives in Oxford.
【答案】①driving　②breaking　③working

(三)动词?ing作表语
1．动名词作表语表示一般性、经常性的动作。
Our duty is protecting the environment from being polluted.
我们的职责是保护环境免受污染。
2．现在分词作表语表示主语的性质或特征，这时通常看作形容词，且主语与表语不可换位。
Though the job is boring，he has to do it to make a living.
尽管这份工作无趣，为了谋生他也只好做。
【注意】
动名词与现在分词作表语的区别：
动名词作表语表示主语的内容，可以把主语和表语交换；而现在分词作表语说明主语的性质、特征，此时主语和表语不可以交换位置。
The comedy starring Chaplin is exciting.
卓别林主演的这部喜剧令人兴奋。
Teaching is my job.教学是我的工作。
单句语法填空
①It’s __________(amaze) that you should know that!

③His job is _______(teach) physics in a local middle school.
④His favorite sport is __________(play) football.
⑤As far as I know, his dream is __________ (live) in a big house.
【答案】①amazing　②convincing　③teaching　④playing　⑤living
(四)动词?ing作宾语补足语
1．动词?ing作宾语补足语常放在宾语后面，表示一个正在进行的主动性的动作，强调一个过程或一种状态。
2．当主句转换为被动结构时，原来作宾语补足语的动词?ing形式便转换为主语补足语。

The boss kept the workers working the whole night.(宾语补足语)
那老板让工人整夜地工作。
→The workers were kept working the whole night.(主语补足语)
现在分词作宾语补足语主要用在某些动词如感官动词(see，hear，feel，smell，watch，find，notice等)、使役动词(have，make，let，get，keep，set，catch等)后以及with复合结构中，与一个名词或代词构成复合宾语。这时动词?ing形式和句子的宾语之间存在着逻辑上的主谓关系，并且动词?ing表示宾语正在进行的动作。


I felt somebody patting me on the shoulder.
我感到有人拍我的肩膀。
With the light burning, he felt asleep.
灯亮着，他睡着了。
【注意】
动词?ing，不定式和动词?ed作宾语补足语时的区别：
动词?ing作宾补时，表示正在进行或持续的状态或经常发生的主动状态；不定式作宾补表示从开始到结束的全部过程；动词?ed作宾补，表示已发生了的被动状态或经常发生的被动状态。
I heard him singing in the next room.
我听见他在隔壁唱歌。
I saw him open the window.
我看见他打开了窗户。
I saw the window opened.
我看见窗户打开了。
在see，hear，feel，watch，notice等感官动词后，跟省略to的不定式作宾补，但在被动语态中，应再加上to。
单句语法填空

②I heard them __________(sing) that nice English song.
③The boy was caught ________(cheat) in the last exam.
④His progress is found very __________ (satisfy)．
⑤With a native villager __________(act) as our guide, we had no trouble getting around.
⑥Don’t leave her __________(wait)outside in the rain.
【答案】①watching　②singing　③cheating　④satisfying　⑤acting　⑥waiting
二、难点突破
1．作表语的动词?ing形式，许多是由能够表示人们某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的，用来修饰物，常见的有：moving，interesting，encouraging，exciting，inspiring，boring，surprising，puzzling，amusing，astonishing，此类形容词意为：令人……的。
The problem is puzzling, which easily makes people puzzled.
这个问题是令人迷惑的，很容易让人迷惑不解。
2．see，hear，feel，watch等动词之后用动词?ing和动词不定式作宾语补足语的区别。
(1)动词?ing作宾语补足语时，表示动作正在进行；而动词不定式作宾语补足语时，表示(或强调)动作从开始到结束的全过程。
When we passed the classroom, we saw a student playing the piano.(动作在进行)
当我们经过教室时，我们看见一个学生在弹钢琴。
We watched our teacher make an experiment during yesterday’s class.(动作全过程)
在昨天的课上，我们观看老师做了一个实验。
(2)若用短暂性动词的某个形式作宾语补足语，其不定式短语表示一个动作，而其?ing则表示反复动作。

We heard the door slam.(一次动作)
我们听见门“砰”的一声关上了。
We heard the door slamming.(反复动作)
我们听见了“砰砰砰”的关门声。
