Ⅱ.閱讀理解主題:人與社會(huì)(人際溝通) 話題:幽默 體裁:說(shuō)明文建議用時(shí):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(潮濕的)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 ComediesB. Humour in Different CulturesC.

Unfortunately, Scott’s parents had different plans. They had booked a week-long tropical cruise(熱帶船游). 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(嘟噥) 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:續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing. __________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise. ______________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________UNIT 6 THE ADMIRABLE參考答案Period Ⅴ WRITING WORKSHOP ~ READING CLUBS第一部分 基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)練Ⅰ.1. summary2. daring3. originally4. to take5. meetingⅡ.1. in spite of2. lift off3. take control of4.

Clearly 考查副詞。修飾后面的句子,用副詞形式,故填Clearly。2. that 考查定語(yǔ)從句。這是個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句,先行詞是something,引導(dǎo)詞在從句中作主語(yǔ),所以用that。3. an 考查冠詞。此處的picture是第一次出現(xiàn),且沒(méi)有限定詞,所以表示泛指,interesting的讀音以元音音素開(kāi)頭,所以用an。4. to keep 考查不定式?!?/span>it is + 名詞/形容詞+ to do sth.”為固定結(jié)構(gòu),其中it是形式主語(yǔ),不定式短語(yǔ)是真正主語(yǔ)。5. descriptions 考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。description是可數(shù)名詞,且前面沒(méi)有限定詞,所以要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。6. useful 考查形容詞。句意:一臺(tái)小型錄音機(jī)對(duì)此很有用。prove是系動(dòng)詞,所以用形容詞作表語(yǔ)。7. with 考查介詞。句意:有些作家甚至在床邊放一個(gè)(小型錄音機(jī)),以備他們?cè)谛褋?lái)時(shí)有(with)一個(gè)“世紀(jì)構(gòu)想”。8. developing 考查動(dòng)名詞。of是介詞,后用動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ),故填developing。9. happens/will happen 考查動(dòng)詞。全文的主體時(shí)態(tài)是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),主語(yǔ)是what,所以空處用第三人稱單數(shù)形式,故填happens;若表示事情尚未發(fā)生,也可用will happen。10. yourself 考查反身代詞。此處指的是“你自己”,所以用反身代詞,故填yourself。Ⅱ.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,文章主要介紹了英式幽默的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)是喜歡輕描淡寫(xiě)和開(kāi)自己與他人的玩笑。1.

D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。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體活動(dòng)和面部表情讓人們笑。4. D 標(biāo)題判斷題。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,這篇短文主要介紹了理解英式幽默的兩個(gè)關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)——喜歡輕描淡寫(xiě)和開(kāi)自己與他人的玩笑。第三部分 寫(xiě)作練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 HuaⅡ. 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.
