Habits play an essential role in shaping our lives. We all know that bad habits can be harmful to your mental and physical well-being. They can block your road to achievement and success. Good habits, on the other hand, can help you rise above others and be at your best. So, what are the common habits of successful persons that set them apart from the rest of us? Keeping reading as a habit. Most successful figures spend half an hour or more on newspapers, magazines arid other books on a daily basis. Most of them have a preference for non- fiction pieces that include history, self-help books, and biographies. Getting up early. The majority of successful people rise approximately 3 hours before their actual workday starts. It gives them adequate time to get additional things done, which may include completing side projects, working out, or just planning ahead. After all, the early bird catches the worm. Working out and staying in shape. We all know the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, especially working out and staying physically fit. Successful people require mental and physical fitness. Clearing your mind and challenging yourself physically with a tough workout daily can help you stay ready for the daily challenges. To sum it up, a strong body carries a strong mind. Working on communication skills. Communication plays a key role in building constructive interpersonal relationships on a personal as well as on a professional level. Working with data, facts, and figures is important. However, if you are unable to convey the right information and message in a timely manner, you are less likely to achieve your goals. As with other skills, it is vital to continuously work on improving communication to help you stay more efficient while communicating with anyone on any level. 36. Why does the author mention the phrase “the early bird catches the worm”? A. To suggest that successful people are greedy. B. To imply that waking up early leads to success. C. To indicate that successful people are early risers. D. To criticize those who prefer to sleep late. 37. Which of the following tasks is most likely to be completed by successful people before their actual workday begins? A. Watching the morning news. B. Preparing a high quality breakfast. C. Doing sports or making plans ahead. D. Conducting business meetings with international clients. 38. What can be inferred about the importance of physical fitness for successful people? A. It is optional for them. B. It is more important than mental fitness. C. It is crucial for mental and physical well-being. D. It is only important for professional settings. 39. What can be inferred about the role of communication skills in the success of individuals as discussed in the passage? A. Communication skills are irrelevant to success in most fields. B. Successful individuals rely on data and facts alone to achieve their goals. C. Good communication is only necessary when dealing with difficult people. D. The ability to convey information effectively is crucial for reaching objectives. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Successful people share common beneficial habits. B. Bad habits are more harmful than good habits. C. Early rising is the key to becoming successful. D. Reading non-fiction is the only way to achieve success. B “Easy come, easy go,” as the old saying goes. It’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Stanley said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer. Stanley spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (TSS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids (液体) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Stanley said. He discussed life aboard the Space Station, including spending time with Russian astronauts. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life. Though life there was not easy, Stanley never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed his growth experience, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination. “Never give up or lower your dream. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard and persevering, you’ll find it really worthwhile.” Stanley said in the end. 41. What message does the saying “Easy come, easy go” convey? A. One should avoid difficult tasks to prevent failure. B. Everything in life comes and goes without any lasting impact. C. It is important to take on challenges to achieve meaningful rewards. D. Financial wealth should be spent freely because it comes and goes easily. 42. What was the physical impact on Stanley after spending a year in space? A. He found it difficult to breathe due to the changed air pressure. B. He felt it hard to stand and he experienced discomfort sitting down. C. He suffered from severe headaches due to the weightlessness. D. His body fluids moved abnormally, causing him to feel upside down. 43. What could benefit Stanley most when he lived with Russian astronauts? A. He picked up different cultures. B. He developed good relationships with others. C. He found the fun of living in the Space Station. D. He won some awards through teamwork. 44. Which of the following words can best describe Stanley? A. Determined. B. Humourous. C. Careful. D. Generous. 45. What does the author intend to tell us from Stanley’s story? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Difficult things are challenging but rewarding. D. People should have a long-term goal in order to win in life. C 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 cursing (咒骂) her teachers. But back home, British people were cheering, 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 they like or dislike... and of themselves. 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 to you’.” Things usually turn out fine at the end of every American The Office episode (集). Even if they’re not perfect, the characters “learn a lesson” for the future. 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 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. 46. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To show that British humor is not funny at all. B. To show that American people don’t understand British people. C. To show that Britain and America have different stereotypes. D. To show that humor may mean different things in different cultures. 47. Why was Michael Scott from the US version of The Office made “slightly nicer” than the UK version’s David Brent? A. To make the character more acceptable to American viewers. B. To agree with the American workplace environment. C. Because Ricky Gervais believes people are kind by nature. D. Due to the requirement for a more gentle sense of humor in American comedies. 48. What can we infer from the article? A. Britons do not like to make fun of others. B. British comedy often has an educational message. C. American people are brought up to be more positive. D. Foreigners have little difficulty in understanding the Chinese cross-talk show. 49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article? 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 boring way. D. Episodes in the UK version often end with a hopeless note. 50. What is the author’s opinion of comic differences? A. They are slight differences that can be ignored. B. They can partly show cultural differences. C. They show stereotypes of different cultures. D. They help people communicate with each other. 第二部分：阅读表达（共5题，每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。 Most 4-year-olds live with only a few things on their minds: Mom, Dad, siblings (兄弟姐妹), play, eat and drink. Not Austin Perine. He feeds the homeless. Austin Perine has a simple reason for wanting to feed homeless people: Because they’re hungry. Austin wears a superhero cape (斗篷) when he goes on his feeding outings with his father, T. J. Perine. At Linn Park recently, the little guy handed sandwiches and drinks to the homeless. Every time, he exclaimed, “Don’t forget to show love!” Show Love is the name of the nonprofit the elder Perine started. Austin Perine has a simple reason for wanting to feed homeless people: Because they’re hungry. “This whole thing started when we were sitting at home watching Animal Planet and a baby panda was abandoned by its mom,” Perine said. “Just to give him an answer, I told Austin that the panda would be homeless. Then he asked, ‘Well, are people homeless?’ and I said yes. That sparked (激发) an idea for him to want to come and feed the homeless, so here we are just a few months later.” A few of the homeless at Linn Park knew little Austin with his superhero cape, and exchanged hugs and fist bumps. Those who did not know him were extremely surprised. One homeless man said he’d never seen anything like this. Austin explained how doing this makes him feel inside. “When I feed the homeless it makes me really happy and I think what I do is very special,” Austin said. “When I grow up I want to be president. My jobs when I become president would be to feed the homeless and to chase the bad guys out of schools.” Austin’s efforts have attracted worldwide attention from media outlets interested in his story. “We’ve been on CNN, NBC and CBS, and we’ve been covered by news in France, Germany and England,” Perine said. “Austin has been doing his thing and has no idea; he’s just being Austin. I think it’s remarkable. Every day I have to pinch (掐) myself to make sure I’m still alive, because this is like a dream.” Austin continued handing out sandwiches and drinks when he got a huge hug from a woman sitting on the steps at Linn Park. She had a grocery cart full of bags and clothes and other items, most likely all she owned. “When I get hugs from the homeless, it makes me feel great inside.” Austin said. Remember this: Austin Perine is only 4 years old. 51. What makes Austin special?(no more than 3 words) ________________________________________________________________ 52. When did Austin get the idea to feed the homeless? (no more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________ 53.

A. in response to B. regardless of C. in return for D. on top of this 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语词义辨析。句意：为了满足顾客的需求，各种各样的产品已经被研发出来。A. in response to响应，满足，应对；B. regardless of不管，不顾；C. in return for作为……的回报；D. on top of this除此之外。根据句意可知，产品被研发是为了应对、满足顾客的需求，in response to符合语境，故选A。 3.

A. adapt B. adopt C. contribute D. add 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：我姐姐在上海已经一年了。然而，她认为自己永远无法适应那里快节奏的生活。A.adapt适应； B.adopt 收养；C.contribute 促进；D.add增加。由句意“我姐姐在上海已经一年了”与however(然而)构成的转折关系可知，她认为自己无法“适应”那里的快节奏生活，短语adapt to表示“适应……”，故选A项。 4. Mother’s Day is around the corner, and I intend to buy my mom a wonderful present, ______ that is not expensive but very meaningful. A. it B. one C. the one D. ones 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查代词的用法辨析。句意：母亲节快到了，我打算给我妈妈买一份很棒的礼物，一份不贵但很有意义的礼物。A. it 通常指代前面提到的同一个事物；B. one 指代前面提到的同类事物中的一个，是泛指；C. the one 指代前面提到的同类事物中的一个，是特指；D. ones 是 one 的复数形式，指代复数的同类事物。在本句中，这里需要一个代词来指代前面的“a wonderful present”，是泛指一份礼物，并非特指某一份，也不是复数概念。所以用one来指代，作同位语，符合语境。故选B项。 5. Many teachers like surfing the Internet, ________ they may find a lot of useful videos about teaching. A. which B. where C. when D. that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：许多老师喜欢上网，在网上他们可能会发现很多有用的教学视频。这是个定语从句，先行词是the Internet，表地点，从句缺少状语，因此可以判定使用where引导，故选B。 【点睛】定语从句是复合句考查的重点之一，对于定语从句，要做到四点：一是准确判断出该句是定语从句；二是找准先行词；三是分析出从句所缺少的成分；四是掌握关系词的基本用法。只有做到这三点才能准确的判断出该使用哪个关系词。本小题考查的是定语从句的关系词，首先判断出这是个定语从句，其次找出先行词是Internet表地点，再次从句中缺少状语语，最后根据关系词的基本用法，可知，此处用where。考生按照这个方法便能准确判断出关系词。 6. After a five-day rest, John and his friends again for their ultimate destination. A. set down B. set about C. set out D. set aside 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：休息了五天之后，约翰和他的朋友们再次出发前往他们的最终目的地。A. set down记下；放下； B. set about着手做；开始做；C. set out出发；动身；D. set aside留出；把……放在一边。根据“again for their ultimate destination.”可知，休息之后再次出发符合语境，故选C。 7.

Turkish officials are saying that the number of people who ________ by the earthquakes that took place in southeastern Turkey ________ at least 20 million. A. had been affected; reaches B. has affected; reach C. was affected; reach D. have been affected; reaches 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：土耳其官员说，受土耳其东南部地震影响的人数至少达到2000万。第一空在who引导的定语从句作谓语，句子表示从过去到现在地震影响了人们，应用现在完成时，且who代指先行词people，和动词affect(影响)为被动关系，应用现在完成时的被动，从句主语who代指people，为复数，所以第一空为have been affected，第二空作that引导的宾语从句的谓语，句子描述一般性事实，应用一般现在时，宾语从句的主语是the number of people，the number of(……的数量)后面加可数名词复数，谓语动词应用单数，故选D。 9. ________he managed to finish the marathon inspired his classmates to push their limits in sports. A. What B. That C. Whether D. When 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句连接词。句意：他成功跑完马拉松这件事，激励了同学们在体育运动中挑战自己的极限。A. What什么；B. That无意义，只起连接作用；C. Whether是否；D. When何时。分析句子结构可知，此处为主语从句，从句“____he managed to finish the Marathon”成分完整，不缺成分，应用只起连接作用、无实义的that来引导。故选B项。 10. —May I speak to Kate, please? —Kate? You _____ have dialed the wrong number. We’ve got no Kate here. A. would B. might C. should D. must 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词+have done。句意：——我可以和凯特说话吗？——凯特？你一定拨错号码了。我们这里没有凯特。A. would have done本来会做；B. might have done过去可能做了；C. should have done本应该做（未做）；D. must have done过去一定做了。根据后文“We’ve got no Kate here.”可知，空处需用must have done，表示对过去情况的肯定推测。故选D。 11. --- Some Chinese students find it difficult to understand native speakers when in London. --- Exactly, _______ they’ve learned a lot about grammar and known many words.

Habits play an essential role in shaping our lives. We all know that bad habits can be harmful to your mental and physical well-being. They can block your road to achievement and success. Good habits, on the other hand, can help you rise above others and be at your best. So, what are the common habits of successful persons that set them apart from the rest of us? Keeping reading as a habit. Most successful figures spend half an hour or more on newspapers, magazines arid other books on a daily basis. Most of them have a preference for non- fiction pieces that include history, self-help books, and biographies. Getting up early. The majority of successful people rise approximately 3 hours before their actual workday starts. It gives them adequate time to get additional things done, which may include completing side projects, working out, or just planning ahead. After all, the early bird catches the worm. Working out and staying in shape. We all know the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, especially working out and staying physically fit. Successful people require mental and physical fitness. Clearing your mind and challenging yourself physically with a tough workout daily can help you stay ready for the daily challenges. To sum it up, a strong body carries a strong mind. Working on communication skills. Communication plays a key role in building constructive interpersonal relationships on a personal as well as on a professional level. Working with data, facts, and figures is important. However, if you are unable to convey the right information and message in a timely manner, you are less likely to achieve your goals. As with other skills, it is vital to continuously work on improving communication to help you stay more efficient while communicating with anyone on any level. 36. Why does the author mention the phrase “the early bird catches the worm”? A. To suggest that successful people are greedy. B. To imply that waking up early leads to success. C. To indicate that successful people are early risers. D. To criticize those who prefer to sleep late. 37. Which of the following tasks is most likely to be completed by successful people before their actual workday begins? A. Watching the morning news. B. Preparing a high quality breakfast. C. Doing sports or making plans ahead. D. Conducting business meetings with international clients. 38. What can be inferred about the importance of physical fitness for successful people? A. It is optional for them. B. It is more important than mental fitness. C. It is crucial for mental and physical well-being. D. It is only important for professional settings. 39. What can be inferred about the role of communication skills in the success of individuals as discussed in the passage? A. Communication skills are irrelevant to success in most fields. B. Successful individuals rely on data and facts alone to achieve their goals. C. Good communication is only necessary when dealing with difficult people. D. The ability to convey information effectively is crucial for reaching objectives. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Successful people share common beneficial habits. B. Bad habits are more harmful than good habits. C. Early rising is the key to becoming successful. D. Reading non-fiction is the only way to achieve success. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. C 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出成功人士通过保持阅读、早起、锻炼和提升沟通技巧等良好习惯来区别于常人。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Getting up early. The majority of successful people rise approximately 3 hours before their actual workday starts. It gives them adequate time to get additional things done, which may include completing side projects, working out, or just planning ahead. After all, the early bird catches the worm.(早起。大多数成功人士在实际工作开始前大约3个小时起床。这给了他们足够的时间来完成额外的事情，这可能包括完成业余项目，锻炼身体，或者只是提前计划。毕竟，早起的鸟儿有虫吃)”可以推测，作者提到“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”这个俗语是用来暗示早起有助于成功。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Getting up early. The majority of successful people rise approximately 3 hours before their actual workday starts. It gives them adequate time to get additional things done, which may include completing side projects, working out, or just planning ahead.(早起。大多数成功人士在实际工作开始前大约3个小时起床。这给了他们足够的时间来完成额外的事情，这可能包括完成业余项目，锻炼身体，或者只是提前计划)”可知，成功人士在正式工作开始前可能会做运动或提前计划。故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“We all know the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, especially working out and staying physically fit. Successful people require mental and physical fitness. Clearing your mind and challenging yourself physically with a tough workout daily can help you stay ready for the daily challenges. To sum it up, a strong body carries a strong mind.(我们都知道健康生活方式的好处，尤其是锻炼和保持身体健康。成功人士需要精神和身体健康。每天通过艰苦的锻炼来清空你的头脑和挑战自己，可以帮助你为日常的挑战做好准备。总之，强健的体魄造就坚强的意志)”可知，成功人士需要精神和身体健康，通过锻炼清空头脑和挑战自己，可以帮助你为日常的挑战做好准备，由此可推断出，身体健康对于成功人士来说是精神和身体健康的关键。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Communication plays a key role in building constructive interpersonal relationships on a personal as well as on a professional level. Working with data, facts, and figures is important. However, if you are unable to convey the right information and message in a timely manner, you are less likely to achieve your goals. As with other skills, it is vital to continuously work on improving communication to help you stay more efficient while communicating with anyone on any level. (沟通在建立个人和专业层面建设性人际关系方面发挥着关键作用。处理数据、事实和数字很重要。然而，如果你不能及时传达正确的信息，你就不太可能实现你的目标。就像其他技能一样，不断提高沟通能力对于帮助你在任何层面与任何人交流时保持高效至关重要)”可知，沟通在建立个人和专业层面建设性人际关系方面发挥着关键作用，如果不能及时传达正确的信息，就不太可能实现目标，由此可推断出，有效传达信息的能力对于实现目标至关重要。故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段“So, what are the common habits of successful persons that set them apart from the rest of us?(那么，成功人士有哪些共同的习惯使他们与我们其他人不同呢？)”可知，文章主要介绍了成功人士的共同习惯，包括阅读、早起、锻炼和沟通技能等，由此可推断出，文章的主旨大意是成功人士有共同的良好习惯。故选A。 B “Easy come, easy go,” as the old saying goes. It’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Stanley said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer. Stanley spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (TSS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids (液体) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Stanley said. He discussed life aboard the Space Station, including spending time with Russian astronauts. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life. Though life there was not easy, Stanley never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed his growth experience, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination. “Never give up or lower your dream. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard and persevering, you’ll find it really worthwhile.” Stanley said in the end. 41. What message does the saying “Easy come, easy go” convey? A. One should avoid difficult tasks to prevent failure. B. Everything in life comes and goes without any lasting impact. C. It is important to take on challenges to achieve meaningful rewards. D. Financial wealth should be spent freely because it comes and goes easily. 42. What was the physical impact on Stanley after spending a year in space? A. He found it difficult to breathe due to the changed air pressure. B. He felt it hard to stand and he experienced discomfort sitting down. C. He suffered from severe headaches due to the weightlessness. D. His body fluids moved abnormally, causing him to feel upside down. 43. What could benefit Stanley most when he lived with Russian astronauts? A. He picked up different cultures. B. He developed good relationships with others. C. He found the fun of living in the Space Station. D. He won some awards through teamwork. 44. Which of the following words can best describe Stanley? A. Determined. B. Humourous. C. Careful. D. Generous. 45. What does the author intend to tell us from Stanley’s story? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Difficult things are challenging but rewarding. D. People should have a long-term goal in order to win in life. 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. B 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了NASA宇航员斯坦利在北阿拉巴马大学的演讲，他结合自己在国际空间站驻守一年的亲身经历，告诉听众做简单的事虽然容易，却没有挑战与回报，只有迎难而上、坚持不放弃，才能收获真正有价值的成功。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“‘Easy come, easy go,’ as the old saying goes. It’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult.(正如老话所说 “来得容易，去得快”。做简单的事情很容易，但它们不会带来做困难事情的挑战和回报。)”可知，这句谚语想要传达的是接受挑战、追求有意义的回报十分重要。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“‘My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,’ Stanley said.(斯坦利说：“我的腿无力，坐一会儿就会不舒服，因为我的身体已经很久没有承受过那种压力了。”)”可知，在太空生活一年后，他双腿无力，坐下时会感到不适。故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.(他和空间站上的每个人都相处得很好，大家一起生活、工作，彼此依赖。他认为这是他一生中最有价值的事情之一。)”可知，与俄罗斯宇航员共处期间，他与他人建立了良好的关系，这让他受益匪浅。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.(他并不一直是最优秀的学生，但他能通过努力和决心克服不足)”以及最后一段“Never give up or lower your dream.(永不放弃，不降低自己的梦想)”可知，斯坦利是一个意志坚定的人。故选A。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第一段“It’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult.(做简单的事情很容易，但它们不会带来做困难事情的挑战和回报。)”可知，作者通过斯坦利的故事想要告诉我们，困难的事情虽有挑战性，但也会带来丰厚的回报。故选C。 C 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 cursing (咒骂) her teachers. But back home, British people were cheering, 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 they like or dislike... and of themselves. 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 to you’.” Things usually turn out fine at the end of every American The Office episode (集). Even if they’re not perfect, the characters “learn a lesson” for the future. 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 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. 46. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To show that British humor is not funny at all. B. To show that American people don’t understand British people. C. To show that Britain and America have different stereotypes. D. To show that humor may mean different things in different cultures. 47. Why was Michael Scott from the US version of The Office made “slightly nicer” than the UK version’s David Brent? A. To make the character more acceptable to American viewers. B. To agree with the American workplace environment. C. Because Ricky Gervais believes people are kind by nature. D. Due to the requirement for a more gentle sense of humor in American comedies. 48. What can we infer from the article? A. Britons do not like to make fun of others. B. British comedy often has an educational message. C. American people are brought up to be more positive. D. Foreigners have little difficulty in understanding the Chinese cross-talk show. 49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article? 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 boring way. D. Episodes in the UK version often end with a hopeless note. 50. What is the author’s opinion of comic differences? A. They are slight differences that can be ignored. B. They can partly show cultural differences. C. They show stereotypes of different cultures. D. They help people communicate with each other. 【答案】46. D 47. A 48. C 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过英美喜剧《小不列颠》和《办公室》的不同反响，说明幽默在不同文化中含义不同，英美幽默感差异源于成长背景不同，喜剧差异可以成为了解一种文化的窗口。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Nobody laughed when the UK comedy show Little Britain toured the US. Americans didn’t find the ‘British stereotypes’ funny. One character was a woman who was sick whenever she saw a foreigner. Another was a loud and rude 15-year-old girl cursing her teachers. But back home, British people were cheering, thinking, ‘Yes! That’s exactly what we’re like!’ (英国喜剧《小不列颠》在美国巡演时，没有人笑。美国人并不觉得这些“英国刻板印象”有趣。其中一个角色是一个女人，一看到外国人就会恶心。另一个是一个大声粗鲁的15岁女孩，咒骂她的老师。但在英国本土，英国人却在欢呼，心想：“没错！我们就是这样的！”)”可知，同一部英国喜剧在美国无人发笑，在英国却大受欢迎，这表明幽默在不同文化中可能意味着不同的东西。故选D。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“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.’ (英国人和美国人说同一种语言，但幽默并不总是能被理解。以《办公室》为例。这原本是一部英国电视剧，但为了美国市场进行了改编。英美两个版本的剧集都设定在一个无聊的小镇上一个无聊的工作场所。但英国办公室的老板大卫·布伦特，并不像美国版本里的迈克尔·斯科特那样是个好人。剧集创作者瑞奇·热维斯写道：“我们必须让迈克尔·斯科特变得稍微友善一点，他不能太刻薄。”)”可知，英美幽默无法直接照搬，为了让角色更符合美国观众的接受习惯，美国版的主角被设定得更友善一些。故选A。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Gervais said British people are different from Americans because Britons cruelly make fun of people they like or dislike... and of themselves. 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 to you’.’ (热维斯说，英国人和美国人不同，因为英国人会无情地嘲笑他们喜欢或不喜欢的人……以及他们自己。他认为，美国人和英国人幽默感的差异源于“我们的成长环境”。他写道：“美国人从小被教育要相信自己能成为美国的下一任总统，而英国人则被告知‘这不会发生在你身上’。”)”可知，美国人从小被教育要相信自己能有所成就，成长环境更积极向上。故选C。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Things usually turn out fine at the end of every American The Office episode. Even if they’re not perfect, the characters ‘learn a lesson’ for the future. 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. (美国版《办公室》每一集的结尾通常都很圆满。即使并不完美，角色们也会为未来“吸取教训”。但在大卫·布伦特的办公室里——以及许多英国喜剧中——最后一幕往往是悲伤的。你常常会有一种情况不会再更糟了的感觉。)”可知，英国版剧集常常以令人感到无望、难过的氛围结尾。故选D。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Cultural differences are no laughing matter. But comic differences can be a window into a culture. (文化差异不是一件可笑的事。但喜剧差异可以成为了解一种文化的窗口。)”可知，作者认为喜剧差异可以在一定程度上展现不同文化之间的差异。故选B。 第二部分：阅读表达（共5题，每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。 Most 4-year-olds live with only a few things on their minds: Mom, Dad, siblings (兄弟姐妹), play, eat and drink. Not Austin Perine. He feeds the homeless. Austin Perine has a simple reason for wanting to feed homeless people: Because they’re hungry. Austin wears a superhero cape (斗篷) when he goes on his feeding outings with his father, T. J. Perine. At Linn Park recently, the little guy handed sandwiches and drinks to the homeless. Every time, he exclaimed, “Don’t forget to show love!” Show Love is the name of the nonprofit the elder Perine started. Austin Perine has a simple reason for wanting to feed homeless people: Because they’re hungry. “This whole thing started when we were sitting at home watching Animal Planet and a baby panda was abandoned by its mom,” Perine said. “Just to give him an answer, I told Austin that the panda would be homeless. Then he asked, ‘Well, are people homeless?’ and I said yes. That sparked (激发) an idea for him to want to come and feed the homeless, so here we are just a few months later.” A few of the homeless at Linn Park knew little Austin with his superhero cape, and exchanged hugs and fist bumps. Those who did not know him were extremely surprised. One homeless man said he’d never seen anything like this. Austin explained how doing this makes him feel inside. “When I feed the homeless it makes me really happy and I think what I do is very special,” Austin said. “When I grow up I want to be president. My jobs when I become president would be to feed the homeless and to chase the bad guys out of schools.” Austin’s efforts have attracted worldwide attention from media outlets interested in his story. “We’ve been on CNN, NBC and CBS, and we’ve been covered by news in France, Germany and England,” Perine said. “Austin has been doing his thing and has no idea; he’s just being Austin. I think it’s remarkable. Every day I have to pinch (掐) myself to make sure I’m still alive, because this is like a dream.” Austin continued handing out sandwiches and drinks when he got a huge hug from a woman sitting on the steps at Linn Park. She had a grocery cart full of bags and clothes and other items, most likely all she owned. “When I get hugs from the homeless, it makes me feel great inside.” Austin said. Remember this: Austin Perine is only 4 years old. 51. What makes Austin special?(no more than 3 words) ________________________________________________________________ 52.

Not Austin Perine. He feeds the homeless.(大多数4岁的孩子心里只装着几件事：妈妈、爸爸、兄弟姐妹、玩耍、吃饭和喝水。但Austin Perine不一样，他给无家可归的人送食物)”可知，Austin的特别之处是为无家可归者提供食物。故回答：Feeding the homeless. 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““This whole thing started when we were sitting at home watching Animal Planet and a baby panda was abandoned by its mom,” Perine said. “Just to give him an answer, I told Austin that the panda would be homeless. Then he asked, ‘Well, are people homeless?’ and I said yes. That sparked (激发) an idea for him to want to come and feed the homeless, so here we are just a few months later.”(“这件事的起因是我们在家看动物星球频道，看到一只熊猫宝宝被妈妈抛弃了，”佩林说。“为了给他一个答案，我告诉奥斯汀那只熊猫会无家可归。然后他问：‘那人们也会无家可归吗？’我说是的。这激发了他想来给无家可归的人送食物的想法，所以几个月后，我们就来到了这里。”)”可知，Austin和他爸爸看《动物星球》的时候想到要给无家可归的人提供食物的。故回答：When watching Animal Planet with his father. 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“We’ve been on CNN, NBC and CBS(我们上过CNN、NBC和CBS)”以及后文news可知，此处应是“法国、德国和英国的新闻也报道过”之意，推知covered应是“报道”之意，和report意思相同。故回答：Reported。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“A few of the homeless at Linn Park knew little Austin with his superhero cape, and exchanged hugs and fist bumps.(在林恩公园，一些无家可归的人认识穿着超级英雄斗篷的小奥斯汀，他们互相拥抱、碰拳)”可知，无家可归的人用拥抱和碰拳和Austin换食物。故回答：Hugs and fist bumps. 【55题详解】 开放性问题。根据第五段““This whole thing started when we were sitting at home watching Animal Planet and a baby panda was abandoned by its mom,” Perine said. “Just to give him an answer, I told Austin that the panda would be homeless. Then he asked, ‘Well, are people homeless?’ and I said yes. That sparked (激发) an idea for him to want to come and feed the homeless, so here we are just a few months later.”(“这件事的起因是我们在家看动物星球频道，看到一只熊猫宝宝被妈妈抛弃了，”佩林说。“为了给他一个答案，我告诉奥斯汀那只熊猫会无家可归。然后他问：‘那人们也会无家可归吗？’我说是的。这激发了他想来给无家可归的人送食物的想法，所以几个月后，我们就来到了这里。”)”以及最后一段“Remember this: Austin Perine is only 4 years old.(记住：Austin Perine只有4岁)”可知，Austin Perine在这么小的年纪就表现出了善良和同情心，是鼓舞人心的。故回答：Austin is inspiring because he shows kindness and compassion at such a young age. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
