Nobody laughed when the UK comedy show Little Britain toured the US. Americans didn’t find the “British stereotypes(刻板印象)” funny. One character was a woman who was sick whenever she saw a foreigner. Another was a loud and rude 15-year-old girl shouting at her teachers. But back home, British people were laughing, thinking, “Yes! That’s exactly what we’re like!”
A laugh is a laugh in any language, but the reasons for it can be very different. Britons and Americans speak the same language, but humor does not always translate.
Take The Office as an example. This was originally a UK TV series but it was changed for the US. Both the US and UK series are set in a boring workplace in a boring town. But David Brent, the boss of the UK office, is not a nice guy like Michael Scott in the US version. “We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy,” wrote series creator Ricky Gervais. “He couldn’t be too mean.”
Gervais said British people are different from Americans because “Britons cruelly make fun of people we like or dislike... and of ourselves”. He believes the differences between the American and British senses of humor are because of “our upbringing”.
“Americans are brought up to believe they can be the next president of the United States,” he wrote. “Britons are told, ‘It won’t happen for you’.”
Things usually turn out fine at the end of every US Office episode(集). But in David Brent’s office and in lots of UK comedies—the last scene is often sad. You are often left with the feeling that things just couldn’t get worse. For British people, this seems true r to life and so much funnier.
It’s not just Britain and the US that have comic differences. Few foreigners would understand a Chinese cross-talk show, for example.
Cultural differences are no laughing matter. But comic differences can be a window into a culture.
6. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To show that British humor is not funny at all.
B. To show that Britain and America have different stereotypes.
C. To show that American people don’t understand British people.
D. To show how humor may mean different things in different cultures.
7. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mean” in Paragraph 3?
A. Great. B. Unkind. C. Average. D. Ugly-looking.
8. What can we infer from the article?
A. Britons do not like to make fun of others.
B. British comedy often has a moral message.
C. American people are brought up to be more positive.
D. Jokes are difficult to translate from one language into another.
9. Which statement accurately describes the character or narrative style of The Office?
A. David Brent is quite a nice guy.
B. Michael Scott is a rather mean guy.
C. Episodes in the US version often end in a coring way.
D. Episodes in the UK version often end on a hopeless note.
10. What is the author’s opinion of comic differences?
A. They can partly show cultural differences.
B. they show stereotypes of different cultures.
C. They are slight differences that can be ignored.
D. They help people communicate with each other.
C
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
11. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success
C. the standards of success D. the importance of success
12. In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to ______.
A. being good at something B. setting a practical goal
C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life
13. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. one gives up his work easily D. it takes a lot of time to succeed
14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
15. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D. Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.

Street Eats

They set up early in the morning and sell their food over a tiny counter or through a window. ____17____ However, mobile food vendors are not a new idea.

They provide a fast and convenient dining option for those on the go, while also offering a unique and authentic dining experience. As the world continues to urbanize and become more mobile, it’s likely that mobile food vendors will continue to thrive and evolve.

Nobody laughed when the UK comedy show Little Britain toured the US. Americans didn’t find the “British stereotypes(刻板印象)” funny. One character was a woman who was sick whenever she saw a foreigner. Another was a loud and rude 15-year-old girl shouting at her teachers. But back home, British people were laughing, thinking, “Yes! That’s exactly what we’re like!”
A laugh is a laugh in any language, but the reasons for it can be very different. Britons and Americans speak the same language, but humor does not always translate.
Take The Office as an example. This was originally a UK TV series but it was changed for the US. Both the US and UK series are set in a boring workplace in a boring town. But David Brent, the boss of the UK office, is not a nice guy like Michael Scott in the US version. “We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy,” wrote series creator Ricky Gervais. “He couldn’t be too mean.”
Gervais said British people are different from Americans because “Britons cruelly make fun of people we like or dislike... and of ourselves”. He believes the differences between the American and British senses of humor are because of “our upbringing”.
“Americans are brought up to believe they can be the next president of the United States,” he wrote. “Britons are told, ‘It won’t happen for you’.”
Things usually turn out fine at the end of every US Office episode(集). But in David Brent’s office and in lots of UK comedies—the last scene is often sad. You are often left with the feeling that things just couldn’t get worse. For British people, this seems true r to life and so much funnier.
It’s not just Britain and the US that have comic differences. Few foreigners would understand a Chinese cross-talk show, for example.
Cultural differences are no laughing matter. But comic differences can be a window into a culture.
6. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To show that British humor is not funny at all.
B. To show that Britain and America have different stereotypes.
C. To show that American people don’t understand British people.
D. To show how humor may mean different things in different cultures.
7. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mean” in Paragraph 3?
A. Great. B. Unkind. C. Average. D. Ugly-looking.
8. What can we infer from the article?
A. Britons do not like to make fun of others.
B. British comedy often has a moral message.
C. American people are brought up to be more positive.
D. Jokes are difficult to translate from one language into another.
9. Which statement accurately describes the character or narrative style of The Office?
A. David Brent is quite a nice guy.
B. Michael Scott is a rather mean guy.
C. Episodes in the US version often end in a coring way.
D. Episodes in the UK version often end on a hopeless note.
10. What is the author’s opinion of comic differences?
A. They can partly show cultural differences.
B. they show stereotypes of different cultures.
C. They are slight differences that can be ignored.
D. They help people communicate with each other.
【答案】6. D 7. B 8. C 9. D 10. A

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英美两国的人对幽默的理解以及他们的文化差异,且以英国版和美国版的《办公室》电视剧为例,分析了英式戏剧和美式戏剧的差异,最后指出戏剧在一定程度上展示了文化差异。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Nobody laughed when the UK comedy show Little Britain toured the US. Americans didn’t find the ‘British stereotypes(刻板印象)’ funny. One character was a woman who was sick whenever she saw a foreigner. Another was a loud and rude 15-year-old girl shouting at her teachers. But back home, British people were laughing, thinking, ‘’Yes! That’s exactly what we’re like!’(当英国喜剧节目《小英国人》在美国巡演时,没有人笑。美国人并不觉得‘英国人的刻板印象’有趣。其中一个角色是一个看到外国人就生病的女人。另一个是一个吵闹粗鲁的15岁女孩诅咒她的老师。但在英国国内,英国人却在大笑,并在想,‘是的!我们就是这样的人!’)”可推知,第一段的目的是说明在不同的文化中,幽默可能意味着不同的东西。故选D项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文中“We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy(我们必须让 Michael Scott 成为一个稍微好一点的人)”以及“He couldn’t be too…(他不能太…)”可知,Michael Scott被人们塑造成一个有些友善的人,即他不可能太不友好,由此可知,画线词mean意思为“不友好的”。故选B项。

细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“But in David Brent’s office and in lots of UK comedies—the last scene is often sad. (但在David Brent的《办公室》里——以及在许多英国喜剧里——最后一幕往往是悲伤的。)”可知,英剧经常以悲剧方式结束。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But comic differences can be a window into a culture.(但喜剧差异可以成为了解一种文化的一扇窗户)”可推知,作者认为喜剧差异在一定程度上展示了文化差异。故选A项。

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
11. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success
C. the standards of success D. the importance of success
12. In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to ______.
A. being good at something B. setting a practical goal
C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life
13. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. one gives up his work easily D. it takes a lot of time to succeed
14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
15. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D. Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.
【答案】11. A 12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】
【导语】本文是议论文。 成功的原因是什么?不是因为天赋,也不是因为出生于富裕家庭,靠的是时间的投入及不断练习。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.”(有些人认为成功只属于那些有天赋或有良好家庭环境的人,而另一些人则认为成功主要取决于运气。我并不是说运气、天赋和环境没有发挥作用,因为它们确实发挥了作用。有些人出生在正确的家庭,而另一些人出生就很聪明,这就是生活的现实。)可以得知,作者列出许多成功因素天赋、良好家庭环境、运气,故选A。
【12题详解】
词义猜词题。此种题目的答案多数在前文找,根据前文,不难得知答案。“However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in additional to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. ”(然而,要在生活中取得成功,你必须要设定一个目标,然后逐步将它变得更加实际。除此之外,要变得更加擅长某事,必须花费至少10,000个小时进行学习和实践。)可知,除此之外,指的是前面的设定实际的目标。此外,也可以从结构上找到答案,出现两次的needs. 属于原词重现。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据“To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.”(要精通某些事情,甚至需要更多的时间,而大多数人不会投入这些时间。)要想成功需要大量时间。以及第三段的“This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. ”(这就是为什么许多成功人士建议你去做你喜欢的事情的一个重要原因。)可知答案的关键是this。而this 指代的内容刚好是与时间(To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.)有关。属于原词重现。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题 。根据第四段“It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.” (很容易去认为他们是运气好,或者天生有些独特的天赋,但是这么想对你并无好处,而且极有可能你想错了。)可以得知很多人的成功并不是因为天赋或运气。通过but之后的内容“thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.”不难得出答案。而且也可以通过排除法得出答案。A项的“show skills 展现技能”表达错误。C项的表达“at the cost of life 以生命为代价”是错误的,这不符合常理,但这道题最容易出错。D项可以根据第四段最后一句的does you no good排除。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通过文章最后一段主题句“Whatever you do , if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. ”(无论你做什么,如果你想在这方面做得很好,你需要日复一日地工作,几乎到上瘾的程度,而且要持续很长一段时间)以及文章多次提到要花费时间和精力可知正确选项为C。ABD项都是以偏概全。属于原词重现。故选C。

【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他称之为“一次改变人生的经历”。此句名词experience为可数名词,且为单数,故前应有不定冠词修饰;life-changing为辅音音素开头,故填a。

考查不定式。句意:在这次飞行中,Dwight超越了《星际迷航》演员William Shatner,成为年龄最大的人。空格处为后置定语修饰中心词person,因person前有最高级the oldest修饰,当中心词为最高级修饰时,用不定式作定语。故填to reach。
【41题详解】
考查关系副词。句意:该公司在2022年发生事故后停飞,当时助推器坠毁,而太空舱满载实验安全伞降到地面。空格处后面部分为定语从句,修饰先行词accident,在定语从句中作地点状语。故填where。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:航班于去年12月恢复,但无人登机。空格处前后文构成转折关系,故填but。
【43题详解】

【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:来自丹佛的雕塑家Dwight与一名退休会计师及来自美国和法国的四名企业家一起参加了活动。空格处为定语修饰accountant,所以用形容词retired表示“退休的”。故填retired。
【45题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:他们的票价没有披露;Dwight的座位部分是由非营利组织“人类空间”赞助的。此处为谓语动词,主语Dwight’s seat和谓语动词sponsor构成被动关系,因此用被语动态,且时态为过去时,故填was sponsored。

59. apology
60. sought his fortune
【解析】
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意:如果你鼓励学生表达他们的想法和创造性的想法,他们将学会成为聪明的思想家。空处为形容词,修饰空后的名词“thinkers”;再根据上文“If you encourage students to express their thoughts and creative ideas”可推测,空处词义为“聪明的”;单词“intelligence”的形容词形式为“intelligent”,意为“聪明的”,符合句意。故填intelligent。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着海洋污染的日益严重,成千上万的海洋动物被困在漂浮的废物中,导致死亡或受伤。空处为非谓语动词担当状语;根据主句“thousands of marine animals get trapped in the floating waste”以及空后“death or injury”可推测,空处意为“导致”;词组“result in”意为“导致”,表示主句一句话所产生的结果,用现在分词形式。故填resulting in。
【58题详解】

【59题详解】

【60题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:大学毕业后,我叔叔去了北方的大城市寻求赚钱的机会。空处为并列谓语动词;根据上文“my uncle went to north”可推测,他去北方的大城市是为了寻求发财的机会。词组“seek one’s fortune”,意为“寻求发财的机会”,符合句意;再根据上文的“went to north”可推测,时态为一般过去时;主语为“my uncle”,单数,和动词短语“seek one’s fortune”之间为主动关系。故填sought his fortune。
第三节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
翻译:81-82题按括号中的要求进行汉译英,83-85题进行英译汉。
61. 想到还有那么多人需要帮助,林医生开办了一间私人诊所。(现在分词做状语)(汉译英)
___________________________________________________________
【答案】Thinking of all the people still in need of help, Dr Lin opened a private clinic.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和非谓语动词。“想到”用短语think of;“需要”用短语in need of;“还有那么多人需要帮助”翻译为all the people still in need of help;“开办”用动词open;“一间私人诊所”翻译为a private clinic。陈述过去事情,用一般过去时;逻辑主语Dr Lin与think of之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词做状语。故翻译为Thinking of all the people still in need of help, Dr Lin opened a private clinic.
62. 如今,科学家们研制出飞行器,将宇航员送人太空,去获得重大发现。(不定式做后置定语和目的状语)(汉译英)
___________________________________________________________
【答案】Today, scientists design vehicles to carry astronauts into space to make important discoveries.
【解析】
【详解】考查副词、动词不定式做后置定语和目的状语、名词和动词短语。根据句意以及句子的提示要求可知,表示“如今”为副词Today;表示“科学家们”为名词scientists;表示“设计,研制”为动词design;表示“飞行器”为名词vehicles,后接动词不定式to do作后置定语修饰vehicles,表示“将宇航员送人太空”应为动词短语carry astronauts into space;后接动词不定式to do表示“为了……”作目的状语,表示“做出重大发现”应为动词短语make important discoveries,句子在陈述现在的事实,用一般现在时,故翻译为:Today, scientists design vehicles to carry astronauts into space to make important discoveries.
63. About a month ago, I was sailing, and towards night I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind. (英译汉)
【答案】大约一个月前,我开着船,晚上的时候我发现我被一阵大风刮到海上去了。
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和句子结构。分析句子结构可知,“About a month ago”译为“大约一个月前”做时间状语,and前后连接两个并列句,and前的句子“I was sailing,”是过去进行时,译为“我开着船”,在and后面的句子中“towards night”译为“到了晚上的时候”做状语,主语是“I”译为“我”,found做谓语,译为“发现”,宾语“myself”译为“我自己”,“carried out to sea by a strong wind”是非谓语动词做宾语补足语,修饰宾语“myself”,译为“被一阵大风刮到海上去了”,故本句译为:大约一个月前,我开着船,晚上的时候我发现我被一阵大风刮到海上去了。
64. When these immigrants left their countries, they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built a new home here.(英译汉)
【答案】这些移民离开他们的祖国时,心中装着一片故土,在这里建立了新家园。
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句和固定短语。when引导时间状语从句,these immigrants left their countries为从句主语,表示“这些移民离开他们的祖国”;carried a bit of home in their hearts表示“心中装着一片故土”;built a new home here表示“在这里建立了新家园”。故翻译为:这些移民离开他们的祖国时,心中装着一片故土,在这里建立了新家园。
65. At age 18, instead of following the traditional path of marriage like the majority of girls, she chose to study medicine. (英译汉)
【答案】十八岁时,她没有像大多数的女孩那样走上婚姻这一传统道路,而是选择了学医。
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语、非谓语动词和时态。主语是she“她”,chose“选择”为句子的谓语,to study medicine“学医”是不定式作句子的宾语;following the traditional path of marriage like the majority of girls“像大多数女孩一样遵循传统的婚姻道路”为非谓语动词在句中作状语,instead of“代替,而不是”。故翻译为:十八岁时,她没有像大多数的女孩那样走上婚姻这一传统道路,而是选择了学医。
