Ⅱ. 阅读理解

主题：人与社会（人际沟通）　话题：幽默　体裁：说明文　建议用时：7＇

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 unpleasant situations 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 to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about 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 comedies series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.

Mr Bean is the character acted 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 humour.

1. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?

A. The British often enlarge the fact.

B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.

C. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.

D. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.

2. By what does the author explain understatement?

A. Using examples. B. Making comparisons.

C. Following time order. D. Describing a process.

3. By what does Mr Bean make people laugh?

A. Telling funny stories. B. Making jokes about others’ accents.

C. Copying how others behave. D. Using his body movements and facial expressions.

4. What can be the best title for the text?

A. British Humour in Comedies B. Humour in Different Cultures

C. Developing Your Sense of Humour  D. Understanding British Humour

Ⅱ. 读后续写

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Winter break was approaching, and all Scott wanted to do was go snowboarding. Unfortunately, Scott’s parents had different plans. They had booked a week-long tropical cruise(热带船游). Scott hated warm weather and asked if he could just stay at his best friend’s house so he could snowboard every day at the local mountain. His parents didn’t want to hear anything of it. He kept debating them about the topic, but they would not change their minds. Family time was important to them, and it was tradition that they spend winter break together.

The week of the cruise arrived, and Scott continued to mumble(嘟哝) his complaints as he and his family left their house to head south. Scott’s dad told him that he would only make the vacation worse for himself if he didn’t change his attitude and open his mind to a new experience. Scott still couldn’t stop thinking about all of the snow he was leaving behind.

When they arrived at the port to board the ship, Scott had a hard time admitting that he was actually impressed with the size of the ship. He had seen the brochures but seeing the ship in person was a whole different animal. Then he remembered that the brochure said something about a surfing pool. Maybe surfing would be somewhat like snowboarding. After all, it involved riding a board.

Scott climbed aboard the ship with his parents, and then they walked around to check everything out. He couldn’t believe how fancy the accommodations were. The dining room looked like a royal hall;the game room had all of his favorite games; the ship’s deck(甲板) had several different swimming pools for different purposes. Then Scott saw the surfing pool. It was incredible. It wasn’t a big pool, but it had big waves, and the young man who was demonstrating how to ride the waves made it look like a ton of fun.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing. __________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise. ______________________________________________________

第二部分　能力提升练

Ⅰ. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何写一个好故事。

1. Clearly 考查副词。修饰后面的句子，用副词形式，故填Clearly。

2. that 考查定语从句。这是个定语从句，先行词是something，引导词在从句中作主语，所以用that。

3. an 考查冠词。此处的picture是第一次出现，且没有限定词，所以表示泛指，interesting的读音以元音音素开头，所以用an。

4. to keep 考查不定式。“it is + 名词/形容词 + to do sth.”为固定结构，其中it是形式主语，不定式短语是真正主语。

5. descriptions 考查名词复数。description是可数名词，且前面没有限定词，所以要用复数形式。

6. useful 考查形容词。句意：一台小型录音机对此很有用。prove是系动词，所以用形容词作表语。

7. with 考查介词。句意：有些作家甚至在床边放一个（小型录音机），以备他们在醒来时有（with）一个“世纪构想”。

8. developing 考查动名词。of是介词，后用动名词作宾语，故填developing。

9. happens/will happen 考查动词。全文的主体时态是一般现在时，主语是what，所以空处用第三人称单数形式，故填happens；若表示事情尚未发生，也可用will happen。

10. yourself 考查反身代词。此处指的是“你自己”，所以用反身代词，故填yourself。

Ⅱ. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了英式幽默的关键点是喜欢轻描淡写和开自己与他人的玩笑。

1. C　细节理解题。由第一段最后两句及第二段第一句可知，英国玩笑难理解是因为英国人喜欢轻描淡写地描述事情。

2. A　推理判断题。由第二段中的For example可推断，作者通过举例来解释“有保留的陈述”。

3. D　细节理解题。由最后一段第二句“Mr Bean doesn’t talk often，and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh.”可知，憨豆先生使用自己的身体活动和面部表情让人们笑。

4. D　标题判断题。由第一段最后一句“The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”和第三段第一句“Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.”可知，这篇短文主要介绍了理解英式幽默的两个关键点——喜欢轻描淡写和开自己与他人的玩笑。

第三部分　写作练

Ⅰ. One possible version:

Dear Chris,

Since your departure, I have been missing you and the Sino-Ireland Culture Festival we spent together. 

A look into the festival never fails to fill my heart with gratitude for your commitment. How can I forget your unique Irish folk dancing and music throughout the day, which still lingers on? Undoubtedly, the festival is a chance for me to have a glimpse of Irish art, and for Chinese and Irish peers to build mutual friendship. 

I sincerely hope we can keep in touch.

Yours,

Li Hua

Ⅱ. One possible version:

Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing. They said, “Of course. And much to Scott’s surprise, they wanted to try surfing too. When Scott and his parents had their swim suits on, Scott’s dad went first and only lasted about five seconds before he wiped out. Then it was his mom’s turn. She actually made it longer than his dad did. When it was Scott’s turn, he was excited but a little bit nervous. He hopped on the board and took a stance similar to his snowboarding stance. Then the waves started. It felt similar to snowboarding but different at the same time. On his first ride, Scott rode for almost 30 seconds before wiping out. He was crazy about it though.

Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise. He got to know the people who often surfed there quite well. By the time the week-long cruise was over, Scott had new friends he planned to keep in touch. Scott is the brave and lucky one since only eight percent of the experiencers or so really fell in love with it among a lot of the passengers who tried surfing the first day of the cruise. With a new hobby, and great memories, he apologized to his parents for earliest moaning and groaning and told them it was his best vacation ever.
