Ⅳ.阅读理解

Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying“no”， criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without losing his face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitively that a serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.

Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating into a big deal. Recently a neighbor of mine had a quarrel with his wife as she drove him to the airport. Airborne, he felt miserable, and he knew she did, too. Two hours after she returned home, she received a long distance phone call. “Person to person for Mrs. an aPologize，”intoned the operator.“That's spelled ‘P’as in...”. In a twinkling, the whole day changed from grim to lovely at both ends of the wire.

An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist in a major charity drive. Austerity(节俭)was a fashion in England at the time, and she had asked her children to serve the meal. She knew that anything could happen and it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration of a tightrope walker, brought in a large roast turkey. He successfully elbowed the swinging dining room door, but the backswing threw the bird onto the dining room floor.

The boy stood rooted; guests stared at their plates. Moving only her head the hostess smiled at her son，“No harm, Daniel，” she said.“Just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen”，she enunciated clearly so he would think about what she was saying, “and bring in the other one.”

A wink and a one liner instantly changed the dinner from a red faced embarrassment to a conspiracy of fun.

1．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Humor is the key to success in our work and our lives.

B．Humor enables us to cope with difficult situations effectively.

C．Humor is the only best way to criticize someone without losing his face.

D．Humor makes fun of difficult situations.

答案：B　主旨大意题。从文章结构看，作者在首段中就提出了本文的中心论点，而其后的段落都是围绕中心论点加以说明。

2．Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?

A．Comedians on TV are believed to have done a lot in making people more tolerant of racial and religious differences.

B．To make up differences, humor is a most acceptable as well as a most effective means.

C．People often turn to humorous ways when meeting with difficult situations because of its effectiveness.

D．Only by adopting the means of humor can one succeed in some jobs.

答案：C　推理判断题。选项A、D内容分别在第一段的第五句和第三句中，B项意思和第一段所讲的意思相同。

3．What caused the roast turkey to drop onto the floor?

A．The backward movement of the door.

B．The son's hasty behavior.

C．Someone happened to be at the door.

D．The bird raised by the family.

答案：A　细节理解题。由第三段的最后一句可知“他成功地用肘部推开了门，但是复位的门却将火鸡打到了地上”。故选A。

4．By saying“...and bring in the other one.”， the hostess meant that________.

A．the son had to cook another turkey for the guests

B．she already had made more than one turkey ready for the dinner

C．some other dish would be served instead of a turkey

D．the son could serve the same turkey after it was cleaned

答案：C　推理判断题。文中并未提及是否有第二只火鸡，但是这里含有幽默的意思，同时联系文章最后一段的叙述，可推知女主人的意思是让她的孩子把火鸡拿到厨房，用其他饭菜招待客人。

5．What do you think would probably be the result if the hostess got angry and scolded the son?

A．It would make the embarrassing situation worse.

B．The son would refuse to serve the guests any more.

C．The son would talk back and make the mother more angry.

D．The guests would leave before the dinner was over.

答案：A　推理判断题。由最后一段可推知。
