Ⅴ.阅读理解

Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “The British are the only people who want to be told how bad things are.” This is definitely true of British comedy. Most people think humour is about happy things, but for the British, the opposite is true. We love to use our sense of humour to complain and be negative.

British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy. BBC’s The Office is a TV show, famous for its dry humour. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show’s comedy comes from his delusions. For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewers can see that everyone hates him.

Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away, although the reality is that this man is a truly tragic individual.

This side of British humour is reflected in friendships as well. At university, my friends and I would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm(挖苦)quite upsetting. She didn’t realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at them. This approach—laughing at everything—may sound rather depressing, but our strange humour played a big part in British history. In the Second World War, along with a stiff upper lip, the British got through it by laughing. What else was there to do?

There is a saying in English: “Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone.” If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it’s best to just laugh it off!

(　　)1. How is British comedy different from other types?

A. It is often surprising and boring.

B. It often laughs at human nature.

C. It is often about the bad things in life.

D. It often makes people feel depressed.

(　　)2. What does the underlined word “delusions” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Strong abilities.  B. Fun characters.

C.Wrong beliefs.  D. Deep doubts.

(　　)3. Why is Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night mentioned in the article?

A. To show one of the best examples of British comedy.

B. To explain how Shakespeare’s comedy is different from others’.

C. To show how difficult it is to make people accept British comedy.

D. To prove Britain has a long tradition of laughing at stupid characters.

(　　)4. How does the author advise people to react to British sarcasm?

A. Learn from it.

B. Don’t take it seriously.

C. Forget about the upsetting things.

D. Be careful not to make stupid mistakes.

2.from　考查介词。根据前面的to可知,这里填from。to and from work上下班。

3.using　考查非谓语动词。这里表方式(by) using an interesting method。

4.laying　考查非谓语动词。根据前面的digging和后面的building可知,这里用laying与之保持一致,作谓语动词included的宾语。

5.were used　考查时态和语态。use和steam engines之间为动宾关系,文章叙述的是过去发生的事情,因此用一般过去时的被动语态。

Ⅴ.【文章大意】  本文是一篇说明文,介绍了英国的冷幽默在文化和生活中的体现,以及我们应该如何回应这种冷幽默。

1. C　细节理解题。根据第一段中“…‘The British are the only people who want to be told how bad things are.’”和“Most people think humour is about happy things, but for the British, the opposite is true.”可知,英国的幽默常常不是关于好事情的,而是关于坏事情的,故选C项。

2. C　词义猜测题。根据下文中“For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewers can see that everyone hates him.”可知,他经常告诉自己,每个人都爱他,但观众可以看到每个人都恨他。由此可以判断出,画线词delusions是“错觉,错误的看法”的意思。strong ability较强的能力;fun character有趣的性格;wrong belief错误的看法;deep doubt深深的怀疑。故选C项。

3. D　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain.”可知,文章以Twelfth Night为例说明英国嘲笑愚蠢的人有很久的传统,故选D项。

4. B　细节理解题。根据文中最后一句话“…it’s best to just laugh it off!”可知,作者的建议是一笑置之,不要太当真,故选B项。

Ⅵ.【文章大意】  这是一篇说明文。本文主要列举了几条关于国际领导人如何处理文化差异、如何利用好跨文化团队的建议,例如面对面交流、诚实守信、说明规则等。

1.F　上一句提到国际领导人要有处理文化差异的能力,下一句提到了如何利用好跨文化团队,因此F选项“今天的领导者必须在国际和跨文化环境中工作。”切题。

2.A　该空是标题句,根据该段的第一句“Try and communicate with your team face to face…”可知,该段讲的是面对面交流的重要性,故A选项“面对面交流。”切题。

3.G　这一段讲的是清楚自己的文化简况的重要性,所以G选项“这种对自己文化身份的认知有助于提高你的团队的绩效。”切题。

4.C　这一段主要讲的是建立信任,所以C选项“信任是随着时间的推移和每一个行动而建立起来的。”切题。

5.E　这一段主要讲的是规则的重要性,E选项“每个人都必须有他的角色并且理解规则。”切题。
