Unit 3 A taste of English humourⅠ.阅读理解AWhen Danny Wallace, 26, got bored, he put an ad on the World Wide Web reading simply，“Join Me. Send a passport photo.” A year and a half later his east London flat is the headquarters for a global internetbased “club” whose members carry out good deeds for strangers every Friday.It's not common for people in London to talk to strangers. If you see someone struggling with something, part of the brain goes “I want to help”. But the trained part of the brain says, “They will think you are mad or going to mug them”， so you walk away.Join Me now has about 3,000 members around the world who do an act of kindness every Friday. For example, I'm usually out on Friday so I go for one of the standard acts—the unexpected cup of coffee. You might be sitting in a cafe and see an old man in the corner drinking coffee or tea, and you walk up with another cup of whatever they are drinking, and say, “I've bought you a coffee” and walk away. It's a pleasure to see the look of surprise on their faces. There can be some suspicion, but I think that was mostly in the early days when I didn't know how to do it properly.I would walk up quite nervously like I was doing something wrong and I didn't know when to leave. In the end, I learned through __trial_and_error__. Sometimes it worked, and other times it didn't. I discovered that you have to walk up with confidence and humour and not “get in their faces”. You say, “This is for you”， then you go. It's hitandrun kindness. And there is no point in doing it halfheartedly. You've got to do it because you really mean it.Join Me is without geographical boundaries, but there are quite a few members in London, and such stories about things happen on the underground or on the buses. One lady got on the bus and put a ￡10 note down and said, “That's for me and the next nine people.” So at every stop, anyone who got on was told it was paid for.A lot of people were doing this sort of thing anyway. For them it's an excuse or reason to do something nice for a complete stranger, and it gives them the confidence to walk up and start chatting.语篇导读本文为记叙文，简述了公益组织“Join Me”的成立和发展，介绍了作者作为成员之一，每周五做一件善事的经历，最后说明了这一组织存在的意义。

BA good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper not ed, “There's more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an unbelievable icebreaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speak ers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never break through，” Hannah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid, told The Guardian, “I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts.”In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chin eseAmerican comedian Joe Wong found this out firsthand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didn't think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby，” said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. “When I hea rd jokes I didn't get, I just laughed along.”In the other two major Englishspeaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while British people use irony(反话)—basically, saying something they don't mean to make a joke—every day, people in the US don't see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit like Americans themselves，” he wrote in The Guardian.语篇导读本文为议论文。

Unit 3 A taste of English humourⅠ.阅读理解A(2018·浙江“七彩阳光”联盟检测)Starting in the 4th century BC,merchants in the West exchanged silk forgold,horses or precious stones.Up to the frontiers of the Roman Empire,silk became a monetary standard for estimating the value of different products.Hellenistic Greece appreciated the high quality of Chinese silk and made efforts to plant mulberry trees (桑树) and breed silkworms.According to a story by Procopius,it was not until 552 AD that the Byzantine emperor Justinian obtained the first silkworm eggs.He had sent two Nestorian monks to Central Asia,and they were able to smuggle (偷运) silkworm eggs by hiding the eggs in bamboos.The Byzantine church was thus able to make silk for the emperor,with the intention of developing a large silk industry in the Eastern Roman Empire,using techniques learned from the Sassanids (萨珊王朝).But the empire continued to importsilk from other major urban centers.The magnificence (精湛) of the Byzantine techniques was not a result of the manufacturing process,but the meticulous (细心的) attention paid to the decorations.The Arabs,with their widening land that had been conquered in war,spreadsericulture (养蚕业) across the shores of the Mediterranean.Included in these were Africa,Spain and Sicily,all of which developed an important silk industry.The mutual interactions among Byzantine and Arabian silk-weaving centers of all levels ofquality,with imitations made in Andalusia and Lucca,among other cities,had made the identification and date of rare surviving examples difficult to check.While the Chinese lost their control over silk production,they were able to re-establish themselves as major silk supplier (during the Tang dynasty) andindustrialize their production in a large scale (during the Song dynasty).China continued to export high-quality silk to Europe and the Near East along the Silk Road.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. ＂It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,＂ she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridges closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.＂My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,＂ Natalie says, ＂but I can always choose how I deal with it.＂Natalie’s choice was to help.She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. ＂I can’t imagin e living anywhere but Rockaway,＂ Natalie declares. ＂My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.＂4.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found .A. some friends had lost their livesB. her neighborhood was destroyedC. her school had moved to BrooklynD. the elderly were free from suffering5.According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?A.

Technology is power.CShe Walked Through FireOn Thanksgiving weekend, the Heffelmire family gathered for a meal at their home. After dinner, the family went down to the finished basement to relax except Charlotte’s father, Eric, who was in the garage to fix his truck.Around 8 pm, Charlotte decided to check on her dad. She walked through the kitchen. When she opened the side door to the garage, black smoke rose up into the kitchen. She could barely make out her father lying on his back, trapped under the truck. He’d removed the front passenger-side tyre and raised the truck on a jack(千斤顶). The truck had slipped off the jack, and now the whole weight of the wheel was on his chest and shoulders.Charlotte ran to the front of the truck and struggled to lift it. Eric was still conscious, and he yelled, ＂You got it! One more try!＂ She tried again and was ableto tip the truck backward just enough for her to pull her dad by the shirt with both hands from under the truck.She dragged him across the garage and 20 feet down the driveway. Then she ran back to the garage, which had burst into flames. ＂I was afraid the car was going to explode,＂ says Charlotte, so she climbed into the truck, which faced forward, turned the key, and pressed the gas pedal(油门). The car slowly rolled out, the metal wheel scratching loudly against the concrete.zx*xkSafely on the driveway, Charlotte stopped the truck and ran back to the basement. ＂There’s a fire! Everybody get out!＂ she yelled as she picked up her three-month-old niece and ran out. Outside, she handed the baby to her mom, and then ran around to the burning garage. She picked up a garden hose(水管) and sprayed the fire while calling 911.A few minutes later, firefighters and an ambulance arrived. Charlotte was treated for second-degree burns on both her feet and face. Her dad had injuries on his chest and shoulders, as well as minor burns on his face. The garage and the house were damaged but the family survived.The Heffelmires are staying in an apartment while their house is rebuilt. ＂Charlotte is a remarkable kid,＂ says her dad. Charlotte, however, simply says, ＂I wa s saving my family and my house. I wasn’t going to let my dad die.＂8.Eric got trapped because _____.A. the kitchen was on fireB. the wheel fell off the truckC. the front tyre was removedD. the truck slipped off the jack9.Which of the following is the correct order of the events?a.

According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉).Over time，this can cause serious injuries.Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，＂If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful.＂The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than ＂iron man＂ events，triathlons and long-distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher involved in the study，＂You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much＂.12.The underlined word ＂strenuous＂ in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to＂___________＂.A. hardB. regularC. practicalD. flexible13.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ___________.A. suggest giving up joggingB. show risks of doing sportsC. provide supportive evidenceD. introduce the research process14.According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？A.

We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激)from the first person we met. I felt appreciated,but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly. Ireceived a call saying she had just passed away. I wantedto rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to intrude (打扰)on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presenceof others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young mansuffering from the pain of his AIDSrelated dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. Hisfamily, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It not only is something we give to others but also changes me for the better.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了“我”通过一些活动意识到“到场”的意义的故事.1．Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?

Unit 3 A taste of English humourⅠ.阅读理解(2017·厦门质检)导学号A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who disliked humor，“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising fro m some sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrowmindedness.However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph.D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather th an serious.” I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.In the United States, every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings，how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming？Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplaneing politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.Of course, politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy selfimage.On the topic of selfimage, Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song“Dont Cha”as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸俗) and racism，but，like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.Though life may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹)to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.文章大意：一种文化的价值能通过其幽默感表现出来。

Apes all belong to the hot countries of the world—tropical Africa and South—east Asia.The gorilla is the largest of the apes. He is as tall as six feet when standing upright. Many people think that gorillas are very fierce. They are often described as standing upright like a man, beating their fists and roaring.

Even then, they retreat if they can.Gorillas have black faces and long, black, hairy coats. They feed during the day on plants and fruit.
