单元检测(三十一)Small Talk.阅读理解ARecently, a group of scientists decided to find out what the funniest joke in the world was. This was obviously a difficult task, as no two people really agree about what is funny and what is not especially when they are from different countries.Here is the joke which the experts decided was the funniest joke in the world:Two hunters were out in the woods. One of them fell to the ground. He didnt seem to be breathing; his eyes were closed. The other hunter took out his mobile phone and called the emergency services (紧急救援部门). “My friend is dead!”he cried to the operator.“What can I do?” The operator said,“Dont worry. First, make sure hes dead.”There was a silence, and then a shot (枪声) was heard. Bang! The hunters voice came back on the line. He said,“OK, now what?”This is perhaps amusing. Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent. But perhaps this is not so all over the world. Its also quite a “black” joke a joke about something which isnt really a funny subject. The experts also found the second funniest joke in the world. Here it is:Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After dinner, they went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes woke up. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”“I see millions of stars, Holmes,” replied Watson.“And what do you infer from that?”“Well, there are billions of stars . we are a small part of the universe .”“Watson, you idiot!” he said. “Someone has stolen our tent!”I personally think this is better.Can scientists in the end decide what is funny? Some things are much too complicated, even for scientists.语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。一些科学家试图找到世界上最好笑的笑话,但实际上由于人们判断笑话好笑的标准不一样,找出最好笑的笑话是很难做到的。1What can we learn from the first paragraph?AFew jokes can make scientists laugh.BOnly scientists can find out the funniest joke.CThere are different jokes in different countries.DPeople hold different opinions about what is funny.解析:选D推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可知,人们对笑话是否好笑持有不同的观点。2What does the author think of the first joke?AIt is not so funny as the experts thought.BIt is really the funniest joke he has ever heard.CIt can greatly affect readers attitudes toward hunters.DIt shows that not all hunters are brave and intelligent.解析:选A推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This is perhaps amusing .
