高中英语Unit3AtasteofEnglishhumour培优练习(含答案)

Unit 3 A taste of English humour培优练习Ⅰ.阅读理解AA nation's humor is linked to the historical development of the country. How funny somebody finds a certain thing depends on many things including ages,personal experiences,levels of education and locations. Therefore,humor is something that is not always transferable (可转移的) in another country.What about when both countries speak the same mother tongue?Does that mean they will then share the same sense of humor,or can differences still take place?Let's take the example of Britain and America. Time and time again,people say that Brits and Americans don't “get” each other's sense of humor. It is often argued that one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humor is that Americans don't understand irony (反话).Simon Pegg explores this topic in depth in his article What Are You Laughing At?He concludes that this statement isn't true and I agree with him.In fact,Brits use irony on a daily basis while Americans don't. I think Americans understand British irony (most of the time anyway);what they don't understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use irony,they tend to say that they are “only kidding”.They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than Brits do. Maybe this comes from a fear of offending (冒犯) people.The American sense of humor is generally more slapstick (闹剧的) than that in Britain. I think this arises from a cultural difference between the two. Their jokes are more obvious and forward,a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes,on the other hand,tend to be more subtle.This may stem from the fact that British culture is more reserved (矜持的) than American culture.1.What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?A.Humor is difficult to get.B.Humor is influenced by culture.C.Not all people have a sense of humor.D.It is important to have a sense of humor.2.What is the author's point of view in Paragraph 2?A.Americans don't get Brits' humor.B.Americans know how to use irony.C.Simon Pegg is professional in using irony.D.Britain and America share the same sense of humor.3.What can we learn about Brits and Americans from Paragraph 3?A.Americans' jokes often offend people.B.Brits' irony is not easy to understand.C.They are different in how often to use irony.D.They are not sure about the need to use irony.4.What does the underlined word “subtle” mean?A.Hidden. B.Funny.C.Obvious.D.Special.BHobbies in general are becoming something of the past. Our lives are already filled with classes,homework,working,relationships and sleeping. When we do have a spare moment,it is all too easy to spend it on the endless entertainment and media that are right at our fingertips.I do not doubt that there are some people who could become a great writer or musician. I only fear that so many people are busy pursuing their education and their careers,but they never even see the potential (潜能) they have. The next great photographer or singer could be going to college right now. But they might not even know they have a gift for photographing or singing if they've never picked up a camera or a guitar.Of course,the final goal of pursuing a new hobby shouldn't be to become rich and famous. For most people,a hobby is just something they enjoy doing for the purpose of the thing itself. Such hobbies are still very useful. Studies have shown that people who have a hobby are less likely to have stress and more likely to have more meaningful lives.Most importantly,a hobby is just something you do to make you happy. I hate to break it to you,but we all have a long lifetime of work and stress ahead of us. It will make things much easier if we can practice the piano or make some collections after work.Sure,it's not easy to start a new hobby while going to school,but it will likely never get easier than it is right now. So think about the thing that youhave always wanted to try but were too embarrassed or busy or whatever. You never know,you might become the world's next great people. If not,you'll at least be a little more well-rounded,more interesting and less stressed.5.What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?A.All people should learn to relax.B.Today's people have little time for hobbies.C.People in the past took their hobbies seriously.D.People's lives have been negatively affected by media.6.What does the author think of hobbies?A.They may take up too much time.B.They can help us enjoy a better life.C.They sometimes can bring us stress.D.They should make us famous one day.7.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A.We should start a hobby now.B.Starting a new hobby isn't easy.C.We'd better develop a hobby at school.D.Developing a hobby will get easier as time goes by.8.What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce some helpful hobbies.B.To encourage us to have a hobby.C.To tell us how to create a happy life.D.To tell us how to find our potential.Ⅱ.阅读七选五Having good study habits is key to success in college. 1 To begin making the change,you need to get organized to study.Create a fixed study space. Find a quiet space in your room or somewhere on campus where you can focus. Studying in the same place every day makes your brain combine a certain environment with work. 2Find a regular time for studying. If you study at the same time each day,your brain will be prepared for learning when you sit down. Review your schedule and see when you have free time. 3 You can study during gaps between classes or in the evening after your classes are done for the day.4 Make sure you have everything you need to study at your study space.If you're studying in a place in your home,keep things like your books,pencils,pens,and paper in that area. If you go out to study,you can take a book bag and keep all your studying materials stored there.Avoid distractions (干扰).When you prepare your study space,it's important to keep it away from distractions. Remove any technologies that will take your mind off your work,like your iPad. 5 Besides,keep other distracting materials such as outside reading,away from your study area.A.Organize your materials.B.Start with difficult material first.C.Your room may be an ideal place for studying.D.This will help you quickly get into the state of study.E.Schedule an hour or two for studying during those times each day.F.However,many students find their former study habits are not suitable for college.G.You can also use apps to stop distracting websites like Facebook while you're studying.Ⅲ.语法填空I was only in China for about 4 months last year. I stayed in Shanghai and visited some other cities 1.(include) Beijing. While the price feels a bit too much for a high speed train,the Chinese infrastructure (基础建设) is 2. (true) far ahead of any other developing country and even some developed ones in Europe. The train stations are as big 3. airports:almost everything in 4. (they) is like airports.

However, researchers have discovered that not all humour is equal. The quickest path to success is to use a very specific form of wit: Self-deprecation.“Many studies show that a sense of humour is attractive to women, especially to their girlfriends, but we’ve found that self-deprecating humour is the most attractive of all. ” said anthropologist Gil Greengross.One possible explanation is that taking the mickey out of oneself is a high-risk strategy.“It is a risky form of humour because it can draw attention to one’s real faults, thereby diminishing(缩小)the self-deprecator’s status in the eyes of others. But based on the idea that self-deprecating humour can be an especially reliable indicator not only of general intelligence and creativity, but also of moral virtues such as humility. ”Anthropologist Kate Fox, author of Watching the English, believes self-deprecation is uniquely vital for those with an English cultural background: “For the English, the rules of humour are the cultural equivalent of natural laws—we obey them automatically, rather in the way that we obey the law of gravity. ”“Pomposity(夸耀)and self-importance are outlawed. Serious matters can be spoken of seriously, but one must never take oneself too seriously. ” she added.“As long as everyone understands the rules, they are duly impressed both by one’s achievements and by one’s r eluctance(不愿)to talk about them publicly. ”However, Greengross warns of another danger in the use ofself-deprecation. “If you are a low-status individual, using self-deprecating humour can be disastrous to you. ” he said.“Think about the secondary-school child whom nobody liked, who made fun of his shortcoming in sports. His kids laughed at him and he was considered more pathetic(悲惨的)than he was previously. This is high-risk attraction. It is not for everyone. ” (330W)1. What is Kate Fox?A. A film-maker.B. An official at school.C. A lawyer.D. An expert in studying anthropology.2. From the passage, we know that Gil Greengross.A. is attractive to women all the way, especially to his girlfriendB. believes that he himself is really the author of Watching the EnglishC. thinks that a low-status individual can be disastrous to him/her while using self-deprecationD. loves the secondary-school child whom nobody liked because of his shortcoming in sports3. The underlined phrase “taking the mickey out of oneself” (in Paragraph3)may be replaced by.A. making someone laughB. self-deprecationC. obeying the law of gravityD. pomposity and self-importance4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The quickest path to success is to make someone laugh.B. Self-deprecation perhaps lowers its status in the eyes of others.C. The English obey natural laws without obeying the law of gravity.D. Nobody likes making fun of one child’s shortcoming in sports.5. Where does the text probably come from?A. A novel.B. A survey study.C. A pet magazine.D. A travel guide.Ⅲ. 阅读第二节下面文章中有5处(第1~5题)需要添加小标题。

ANot all memories are sweet.Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences.Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars.Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(噩梦).Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill,which will help people forget bad memories.The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience.They hope it might reduce,or possibly wipe out the effect of painful memories.In November,experts tested a drug on people in the US and France.The drug stops the body releasing(释放)chemicals that fix memories in the brain.So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced,not that the memories are wiped out.The research has caused a great deal of argument.Some think it is a bad idea,while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives.They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare.They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman,a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pill can change people’s memories and that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity.They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are.I’m not sure whether we want to wipe those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser,a medical ethicist.1.The passage is mainly about .A.a new medical inventionB.a new research on the pillC.a way of wiping out painful memoriesD.an argument about the research on the pill答案 D解析主旨大意题。

I had a quarrel with my wife and my son didn’t get up on time for school again. However, it was not because of these but because of the following fact that I was angry. We had been out of milk for a while and I could only find three dollars to get a small carton of it (which would last only a day or two).After eating some bread, I was on the bus to work when I saw a little “Donate a Ride” envelope up front. I read that some of those donations would go to women at abuse shelters(避难所) so that they could get to doctors’ appointments and court dates, etc. I thought I could donate the three dollars in my pocket I had. However, I needed to drink some milk before work, so I changed my decision. I decided to keep the three dollars to buy some milk.Well, since I made that decision, I continued to feel bad and regretted my decision. When I was getting off the bus at the bus stop and was ready to make the short walk to work, I changed my mind again. I decided I could go another week without milk and I would donate that three dollars to “Donate a Ride”.After I finished making that decision, I felt a lot better having done so. That was better than drinking milk in the morning. It is worth doing something when you can because it will make you happy.41.The author was in a bad mood yesterday morning because____.A. he had had a quarrel with his wifeB. his home had been out of milkC. he refused to donate his moneyD. his son didn’t get up on time for school again42.The purpose of “Donate a Ride” was to help____.A. people pay to ride the busB. people buy milkC. women at abuse sheltersD. passengers know the bus stops43.The author decided not to donate the money at first because he____.A. had milk for a weekB. needed money on his way to workC. had ever donated money beforeD. needed the money to buy milk44.The moment the author saw the donation envelope, he____.A. wanted to put his three dollars into itB. put all his money into itC. decided not to donate anythingD. ignored it45.The best title for this passage would be___.A. Money for MilkB. Drinking Milk Is ImportantC. Donation vs. MilkD. How to Help OthersBA year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized(强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importanceof English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, and shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought perhaps this was not an appropriate topic(适当的话题). “Well, I’d better change the topi c.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It is magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say?’” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really’! It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.

In recent years, cancer survivor groups have got involved in the sport to help make friends and help rebuild their lives.On a recent Saturday morning, a group of 20 womne were on a boat in the Anacostia River in Washington DC. They moved their paddles(船桨)in rhythm to the call of a coach. The women belong to the dragonboat team GoPink! DC, which trains weekly. It also races against other breast cancer survivor teams in dragon boat festivals. As a result, GoPink! DC won medals in this Washington dragon boat festival. Lydia Collins joined five years ago after finding out she had breast cancer. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was demoralized because of my illness — I lost all interest in life and wouldn't even get out of bed to eat. But now I love the team spirit. I just love everything about it. It is like a floating support group on the water.”The paddles are breast cancer survivors and their supporters. Annette Rothemel helped establish (建立)the group in 2006. She is a researcher with the National Institutes of Health as well as a breast cancer survivor. “It is sort of an easy entry sport because on the same boat people at different levels can be doing the same sport.”But Ms Rothemel says dragon boating can be physically demanding, especially for someone who is sick and getting treatment for cancer.“It’s hard but I think you have to challenge yourself in life. This is something I look forward to. I get to be out here with my sisters and supporters that understand what I’m going through and help motivate me. So it makes me stronger and it makes me feel better,”another cancer survivor Rhonda Hartzel said.Annette Rothemel says the cancer survivors feel a sense of sisterhood and share good times when they paddle together. She says both feelings are treasured by the team.1. What can we learn about GoPink! DC?A. It has hosted many competitions for the cancer survivors.B. It helps the cancer survivors receive medical training.C. It owns the best dragon boat in Washington DC now.D. It not only trains its members but organizes them to join the race.2.
