Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题5分,共40分)
A
(2024·贵州遵义航天高级中学高二期中)
Australians are pretty bold (大胆的) when it comes to humour.Not afraid of saying something insulting (冒犯的) in the name of a good laugh,they generally don't hold back.This is always done in fun,however.
You get yourself a haircut before going to meet your new Aussie friend.You're expecting to be praised,but what you hear is,“Did you have a fight with a lawnmower (割草机)?” You might take this as an insult,but it's just your friend's way of saying that you've had a haircut.
Your friend comes knocking at your bedroom door one morning to tell you you're late for class.You stayed up late studying the night before and you look a mess.Your friend thinks you need to put a brush through your hair before leaving,but instead of just saying so he says,“Wow.Your hair looks like a bush for a pig's arse.”He's trying to be nice.
Australia is one of the countries on this planet where making fun of someone is a sign of friendship.If you find yourself being made fun of lots,it could be that you've scored yourself a whole lot of new friends.Consider yourself lucky—these insults are all parts of building a relationship.
Australians also use a lot of sarcasm (讽刺).You foolishly say something that's obvious (明显的).For example,“A six-pack of beer is named after the number of beers you get in the pack,the number being six.” A normal answer would be “That is the most obvious statement I've ever heard”,but an Australian would say,“Really? You're so clever.”
Now let's say your teacher tells you that there will be a test the following day.Australians might say,“Great.I can't wait to add preparing for a test to my already long to-do list.Thank you for this gift.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚人幽默、讽刺的语言表达方式。
1.According to Paragraphs 2 and 3,Australians try to be humorous .
A.by telling funny jokes
B.by making fun of friends
C.by laughing at themselves
D.by showing unfriendliness
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。通过第二段(你的发型被嘲笑为经过了一场和割草机的战斗)和第三段(你的头发被嘲笑为 a bush for a pig's arse)给出的两个例子可知,澳大利亚人试图通过取笑朋友来表现幽默。故选B。
2.What does the author suggest you do when you are laughed at by an Australian?
A.Accept it readily.
B.Fight back bravely.
C.Mind your behavior.
D.End the relationship.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句可知,作者认为当你被澳大利亚人嘲笑的时候,你应该欣然接受。故选A。
3.What do Australians want to express by saying “Thank you for this gift” in the last paragraph?
A.Dislike. B.Worry.
C.Gladness. D.Thankfulness.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第五段的第一句和最后一段的内容可知,“Thank you for this gift”表达的是相反的情绪,因此推测为不喜欢。故选A。
4.How is the text mainly developed?
A.By telling stories.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By providing examples.
D.By examining differences.
答案:C
解析:写作手法题。通读全文可知,文中在说明澳大利亚人如何表现幽默和讽刺时,使用了大量的例子。故选C。
B
Culture shock or thinking differences can depress even the most experienced traveller.Remember that unlucky accidents with service providers may take place because of cultural or linguistic misunderstandings,and that getting angry will make communication more difficult and cause bad feelings.A taste of humour can make hard situations more meaningful and enjoyable to you,your fellow travellers and the local friends you've made.
Keep a journal or carry a small tape recorder and make regular entries or recordings.Taking a step back and telling an experience after some time will open the door to humour.Write a letter or an email to a friend when you find your humour reducing.Challenge yourself to tell at least one good story in this message and you'll be surprised at how funny things can look when told to someone outside the situation.
Keep a list of funny things that you observe during your first few days in a new culture,and an explanation of what you think these things are all about.Look back on these lists later in the trip;what seemed strange before is probably familiar now,and your explanations may be funnier than the things themselves!Imagine writing an entry in a guidebook about a frustrating experience.How would you describe your experience to the later travellers?What travel advice would you offer?
Try to see yourself through the eyes of the locals.What might they find strange or funny about what you are doing at this moment?When you find it difficult to overcome cultural differences,taking a new look at yourself can be very funny.Be careful not to sacrifice (牺牲) respect for local culture in order to lighten things up for yourself and fellow travellers.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。幽默可以使由于文化差异而给旅行者造成的不良情形得以改观。文章主要给那些要旅游而且希望变得幽默的人提供了三条建议。
5.Why will the travellers often get depressed according to the text?
A.Because of being short of money.
B.Because of the different thoughts on the same thing.
C.Because of not having enough clothes.
D.Because of the unlucky fellow travellers' trouble.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句可知,文化冲击和思维的差异会使旅行者不快乐。故选B项。
6.What should you do when you try to keep your sense of humour in foreign countries?
A.Tell anything that you find entertaining.
B.Learn to respect the local customs.
C.Know how to overcome cultural differences.
D.Try to tell anything particularly funny.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Be careful not to sacrifice(牺牲) respect for local culture in order to lighten things up for yourself and fellow travellers.”可知,要尊重当地的传统文化。故选B。
7.What can you infer from the passage?
A.The funny things will be always interesting and never change.
B.The funny things will always make people happy.
C.If the people didn't experience the things,they would find them funny.
D.The things seemed strange before they are surely becoming the familiar things.
