this way they learn what is going on in the world.Sometimes，however，they dont have the time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page，at other times they may be in such a hurry that they have time only to glance at the headlines.There are newspapers to satisfy every reader.In big cities there are many types with several different editions every day.In small towns there are few newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day.In some areas the paper is printed weekly.Most papers have several editions，especially on Sundays when the editions are larger than usual.There are，besides the front page with the most important news，the sports news，the society page，the amusement section，a business page and so on.5People read newspapers to _.Alearn as

editionsCfewer typesDfewer editions答案B解析细节理解题。从第二段可知，周末报纸版面较多，而不是“类型”多。CIt is often argued that one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humour is that Americans dont understand irony(反语)Simon Pegg explores this topic in depth in his article What are you laughing at？He concludes that this statement isnt true and I quite agree with him.One of the differences seems to be how often both nations use irony.The British use irony on a daily basis，whereas Americans dont.I think Americans understand British irony；what they dont understand is the need to use it so frequently.When Americans use irony they want to state that they are “only kidding”They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than the British do；maybe this results from a fear of offending people.I think the differences between the British and American sense of humour arise from a cultural difference between the two.American jokes are more open，a bit like Americans themselves.British jokes，on the other hand，are more reserved(含蓄的)There is usually a hidden meaning.Certain American comedies have gained huge success in Britain and vice versa(反之亦然)Therefore，although there are differences between both comic styles，there is still an appreciation and understanding of the other sense of humour.Both the British and American versions(版本) of the comedy The Office are hugely successful on both sides of the Atlantic.Both shows have their own cultural differences，yet they describe a lifestyle which both Americans and the British can relate to in a similar way.9The writer believes that_.AAmericans dont understand irony when communicating with the BritishBthe British use irony as well as Americans do in many waysCthere are huge differences between the British and American sense of humourDAmericans use less irony because they dont want to offend others答案D解析细节理解题。根据第二段可知，因为不想冒犯其他人，美国人更喜欢开直接的玩笑，而不是使用反语，故选D项。10According to the text，Americans have no idea_.Awhen and how to use ironyBwhere and why to use ironyCwhether it is necessary to use irony oftenDwhether it is easy to understand irony答案C解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“.what they dont understand is the need to use it so frequently.”可知，美国人不理解的是是否有必要常常使用反语，故选C项。11What is the main cause of the differences between the British and American sense of humour?ACulture.BLifestyle.CHistorical development.DGeographical location.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“I think the differences between the British and American sense of humour arise from a cultural difference between the two.”可知选A项。12The comedy The office is given as an example to show that_.AAmerican comedies have gained more success than those in BritainBthe British and Americans can understand the same comedy of different formsCthe same comedy can be performed totally differently in different countriesDthe differences between British and American comedies are becoming greater答案B解析推理判断题。分析最后一段尤其是第二句“.although there are differences between both comic styles，there is still an appreciation and understanding of the other sense of humour.”可知，尽管英美人的幽默感不同，但这并不影响他们互相欣赏和理解对方的幽默，故选B项。DThis is a story about a mother and her son that happened in the south of Russia.The mother woke up one day and found that her body couldnt move.She was sent to the hospital and soon she knew about the reason why she couldnt move，she was paralyzed(瘫痪的) because of a sudden illness.In doctors opinion，she was a hopeless case.Then，following the advice of the doctors，the son gave up his job，and brought his mother back to the country，where he found a job as a farmer and could stay beside her day and night，giving her every spoon of food and keeping patiently massaging(按摩) her already paralyzed arms and legs.The mother was truly so touched by her sons care that she decided to pick herself up and prepare for a different life in the future.This idea was just the strongest power that kept her trying and trying to move her fingers.And one day about six months later，she succeeded!Her sons care and love helped her to recover gradually.During the next two years，she could even make an effort to move her body and not long after that，she had been able to take the very first step！And after five years，she was even able to dance with the children of the village，and by now she has fully recovered and become a dance teacher.“I believe in the power of love，” the son said，“I never stopped believing that she would walk again.” It showed its great power that the modern medical treatment can never do.And the real story just shows us a moving example of the power of love and that miracle(奇迹) does happen.13From the second paragraph，what do you think the author wants to tell us?AThere are only two people in this family.BThe son took special care of his mother.CThe fresh air in the country is good for health.DThe son spent much money saving his mother.答案B解析推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，母亲瘫痪后儿子辞去工作，以便照料母亲，给予了她无微不至的关怀。14What can we learn from the passage about the mother?AShe had performed a miracle.BShe was hit by a careless car driver.CShe managed to walk a little after she moved to the city.DShe could dance with the children with the help of her son.答案A解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“In doctors opinion，she was a hopeless case.”可知，医生认为母亲没有希望站起来了；再结合倒数第二段最后一句中的“.and by now she has fully recovered.”可知，母亲最终康复，由此可知，她创造了一个奇迹。15Which is probably the best title for the passage?APower of LoveBMiracle of NatureCUnexpected IllnessDA Son with a Strong Will答案A解析标题归纳题。根据文章可知，母亲突发瘫痪，儿子辞职照顾她，儿子无微不至的关心以及她自己的信念使她重新站了起来，这是爱的力量产生的奇迹，主要说明了爱的力量是伟大的。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Active listening is an essential skill in
