【题目】
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 (反讽). 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?

【1】Britain

【3】themselves

【9】totally
【10】to understand
【解析】
短文大意:本文介绍了英国人不同于其他国家的幽默感。先介绍了英国人都在笑什么,后面具体介绍了让人难以理解的英国人的幽默感的两种情况:一是别人感到绝望时英国人却大笑;二是当说一些有趣的事情时并不总是笑,甚至是微笑,而是经常板着脸或者表情严肃。
【1】句意:让我们来看看我们在英国笑什么。根据上文we British people have a different sense of humor和所给单词提示,可知这里是说“在英国”,故填Britain。
【2】句意:对我们英国人来说,有权有势和重要的人常常引起笑声。and表并列,连接两个并列的形容词;根据下文It’s not just politicians who make us laugh和所给单词提示,可知politicians(政客)是有权力的人,故填powerful。
【3】句意:让我们发笑的不只是政客,还有那些工作就是告诉别人该做什么的人,以及那些把自己看得太严肃的人。本句是定语从句,先行词who指人,动词take需接宾格代词或反身代词做宾语;根据句意结构和所给单词提示,可知填themselves。
【4】句意:我们嘲笑权力,但也可怜地嘲笑任何受到不公正对待的人。treat对待,动词需用副词修饰;根据下文英美人对待小丑的不同和所给单词提示,可知填badly。
【5】句意:我们知道他们不可能赢,但如果他们赢了,有时甚至更有趣。even甚至,修饰比较级;根据句意结构和所给单词提示,可知填funnier。
【6】句意:而在美国,他们通常是做傻事的聪明人——最后赢得了胜利。and连接并列结构,前后动词结构需一致;根据上文doing clever things和所给单词提示,可知填winning。
【7】句意:当别人感到绝望时,我们却大笑的事实,是了解英国幽默最奇怪的事情之一。feel是表感觉系动词,后接形容词;根据句意结构和所给单词提示,可知填hopeless。
【8】句意:在经历了一些可怕的经历之后,我们可能会说,“不太愉快”。very非常,副词修饰形容词;not表否定,根据After some terrible experience和所给单词提示,可知填pleasant。
【9】句意:或者说“有一个小问题,”当事情完全出错时。wrong错误的,形容词需用副词修饰;根据句意结构和所给单词提示,可知填totally。
【10】句意:另一个让人很难理解英国幽默的地方是,当我们说一些有趣的话时,我们不总是笑,甚至不总是微笑。本句是固定句型“动词+it+宾语补足语+不定式”结构,it是形式宾语,不定式是真正宾语;根据句意结构和所给单词提示,可知填to understand。
选词填空,要求根据句意语境和所给单词提示选择合适的单词填空,主要考查单词形式,包括名词的单复数和所有格、动词的三单形式、非谓语动词、基数词或序数词,主格代词/宾格代词和物主代词(形容词性物主代词/名词性物主代词)等。这类题目难度不大,重点是掌握句意,在理解的基础上把握句子时态,从而判断所给单词的正确形式。

Many have heard of shark fin soup.This famous and expensive dish is especially popular in southern China.But do you realize that you're killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?
When people catch sharks,they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean.This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment.Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies.Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean's ecosystem.If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain.But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year.The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.
Environmental protection groups around the world,such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about"finning". They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins.So far,no scientific studies have shown that shark's fins are good for health,so why eat them? Help save the sharks!
【1】Do southerners like to eat shark fin soup? Why? (because)___
【2】Is getting the shark fin very friendly? (but) How do people get the shark fin? (and)___

【题目】 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(录取通知书) from Peking University. 【1】She 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.
【2】For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). 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( 品 格 ) 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(态度). We like such “poor students” because they are strong and optimistic.
For them, few can choose their lifestyles.【5】That’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.
F. However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life.

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 (传人) 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 “lead 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(细须)” 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.

【2】What do we Chinese people call ourselves?
