bad British consider fun hope pleasure power they total understand we win

Is it true that we British people have a different sense of humor from people in other countries? Let’s have a look at what we laugh at in 1.

To us British people, 2 and important people often cause laughter. It’s not just politicians (政客) who make us laugh, but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes 3 too seriously.

We laugh at the power, but also, pitifully, at anyone who is treated 4. We know they cannot win, but if they do win sometimes, it’s even 5. Our clowns (小丑) are often silly people doing silly things, while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things-and 6 at last.

The fact that we laugh when other people might feel 7 is one of the strangest things to learn about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony (反諷). After some terrible experience, we might say, “Not very 8.” And we might say in the middle of a typhoon, “It’s a bit windy today.” Or “There is a tiny problem,” when something has gone 9 wrong. We don’t like to express strong feelings, but just “keep calm and carry on”.

Another things that can make it difficult 10 British humor is that we don’t always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. We often keep a straight face or use an unsmiling expression when we’re making a joke.

Do you think the British sense of humor is special?

短文大意:本文介紹了英國人不同于其他國家的幽默感。先介紹了英國人都在笑什么,后面具體介紹了讓人難以理解的英國人的幽默感的兩種情況:一是別人感到絕望時英國人卻大笑;二是當說一些有趣的事情時并不總是笑,甚至是微笑,而是經(jīng)常板著臉或者表情嚴肅。

1句意:讓我們來看看我們在英國笑什么。根據(jù)上文we British people have a different sense of humor和所給單詞提示,可知這里是說“在英國”,故填Britain。

2句意:對我們英國人來說,有權(quán)有勢和重要的人常常引起笑聲。and表并列,連接兩個并列的形容詞;根據(jù)下文It’s not just politicians who make us laugh和所給單詞提示,可知politicians(政客)是有權(quán)力的人,故填powerful。

3句意:讓我們發(fā)笑的不只是政客,還有那些工作就是告訴別人該做什么的人,以及那些把自己看得太嚴肅的人。本句是定語從句,先行詞who指人,動詞take需接賓格代詞或反身代詞做賓語;根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和所給單詞提示,可知填themselves

4句意:我們嘲笑權(quán)力,但也可憐地嘲笑任何受到不公正對待的人。treat對待,動詞需用副詞修飾;根據(jù)下文英美人對待小丑的不同和所給單詞提示,可知填badly。

5句意:我們知道他們不可能贏,但如果他們贏了,有時甚至更有趣。even甚至,修飾比較級;根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和所給單詞提示,可知填funnier。

6句意:而在美國,他們通常是做傻事的聰明人——最后贏得了勝利。and連接并列結(jié)構(gòu),前后動詞結(jié)構(gòu)需一致;根據(jù)上文doing clever things和所給單詞提示,可知填winning。

7句意:當別人感到絕望時,我們卻大笑的事實,是了解英國幽默最奇怪的事情之一。feel是表感覺系動詞,后接形容詞;根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和所給單詞提示,可知填hopeless。

8句意:在經(jīng)歷了一些可怕的經(jīng)歷之后,我們可能會說,“不太愉快”。very非常,副詞修飾形容詞;not表否定,根據(jù)After some terrible experience和所給單詞提示,可知填pleasant。

9句意:或者說“有一個小問題,”當事情完全出錯時。wrong錯誤的,形容詞需用副詞修飾;根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和所給單詞提示,可知填totally

10句意:另一個讓人很難理解英國幽默的地方是,當我們說一些有趣的話時,我們不總是笑,甚至不總是微笑。本句是固定句型動詞+it+賓語補足語+不定式結(jié)構(gòu),it是形式賓語,不定式是真正賓語;根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和所給單詞提示,可知填to understand。

選詞填空,要求根據(jù)句意語境和所給單詞提示選擇合適的單詞填空,主要考查單詞形式,包括名詞的單復數(shù)和所有格、動詞的三單形式、非謂語動詞、基數(shù)詞或序數(shù)詞,主格代詞/賓格代詞和物主代詞(形容詞性物主代詞/名詞性物主代詞)等。這類題目難度不大,重點是掌握句意,在理解的基礎(chǔ)上把握句子時態(tài),從而判斷所給單詞的正確形式。

【題目】 We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter(錄取通知書) from Peking University. 1She is a student form Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University.

2For example, they are all strong and optimistic (樂觀的). Li Enhui said in an interview, “As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences. 3” Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that “poor students” have.

Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities( ) are necessary for growth.4 Not everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic, can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in poor families doesn’t promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn’t promise optimistic attitudes(態(tài)度). We like such “poor students” because they are strong and optimistic.

For them, few can choose their lifestyles.5That’s why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them.

A. Life is full of ups and downs.

B. A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example.

C. “Poor students” are usually hard-working and caring.

D. And these experiences make me grow and become better.

E. Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common.

China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day(Longtaitou) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming.

The dragon is important for Chinese people. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (傳人) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs.

On the day in ancient times, people put ashes in the kitchen. This was to “l(fā)ead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest(收成) in autumn.

Also, people eat special foods that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker(細須)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.

Today, many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It is said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the uncles of the family—mainly mother's brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

1What does the Dragon Head Raising stand for?

2What do we Chinese people call ourselves?

3Why did people in ancient times put ashes in the kitchen?

4What do people eat on that day?

5There are no customs left in China on that day now, are there?
