Section Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 Prereading原文呈现读文清障Text 1Mr Bean is an internationally recognised comedy character on TV and in films. He constantly gets into awkward and absurd situations, which greatly amuses audiences regardless of their nationality or culture. The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language, which is universal.One of my favourite shows has Mr Bean in a fancy restaurant. After being seated at his table, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals it in an envelope and places it on the table. After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there. He opens it to find a birthday card and delightedly puts it on the table for everyone to see.,recognised adj.公认的comedy/kmIdi/n.喜剧comedian/kmidin/n.喜剧演员constantly adv.重复不断地，一直awkward adj.令人尴尬的，令人难堪的absurd adj.荒唐的amuse v逗笑，逗乐regardless of不管，不顾a series of一系列的series单复数同形。purely/pjli/adv.完全地，仅仅rely on (count on)依赖，依靠universal/junIvsl/adj.通用的，普遍的；全世界的After being seated .为介词短语作状语。seat vt.(使)坐下，使就座常用seat oneself或be seated形式。seal/sil/vt.封，密封as if(as though)好像，引导方式状语从句。如果从句内容与客观事实不符，常用一般过去时或过去完成时表示虚拟语气。to find .为不定式短语作结果状语。delightedly adv.愉快地，高兴地delighted adj.愉快的，高兴的delight nC令人高兴的事；U高兴课文1第12段译文憨豆先生是国际上公认的电视和电影界喜剧角色。他不断陷入尴尬而又荒唐的情景中，给任何国籍或文化背景的观众都带来了极大的乐趣。这种幽默总是通过一系列简单而可笑的、人人都能看得懂的纯粹的肢体语言动作让观众理解。我最喜爱的情节之一是憨豆先生在一家豪华餐厅的表现。在餐桌就座后，憨豆先生拿出一张卡片，在上面写了几个字，然后将卡片封入信封，放在桌上。过了一会儿，他回头看了看信封。他看起来很惊奇，好像不知道信封本来就在那里一样。他打开信封，发现一张生日卡片，于是高兴地将生日卡片摆在桌上使每个人都看到。When he looks at the menu, an astonished look swiftly appears on his face. He takes all the money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer. He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile. Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”. When the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. He makes an attempt to eat it， but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting. He cannot hide his feelings, except when the waiters ask if everything is all right. When this happens, he smiles and nods, indicating that everything is fine. astonished adj.感到十分惊讶，吃惊(在此修饰人的表情)astonishing adj.令人十分惊讶的astonish/stnI/vt.使惊讶，使惊骇swiftly adv.迅速地，立刻地saucer/ss/n.茶托，茶杯碟with concern关切地，关心地，忧心忡忡地order此处表示“点(酒菜等)”。called . 为过去分词短语作定语。steak tartare/steIktt/鞑靼牛肉末raw/r/adj.生的，未煮过的make an attempt to do sth.试图做某事It is clear that .“明显的是”，it为形式主语。此处为“find宾语宾补结构”。disgusting/dIsgstI/adj.厌恶的disgusted adj.厌恶的，憎恨的except when除了时候现在分词短语作伴随状语。When the waiters are not looking, however, he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, inside a bun and under a plate. He becomes so desperate in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurants violinist!I like to watch Mr Bean on TV but I wouldnt want to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldnt want to have dinner with him！,busy oneself (in/with) doing sth.某人忙着做某事he can reach为定语从句。desperate/desprIt/adj.不顾一切的后常接for sth.或to do sth.，表示“非常需要”。so . that .结构，that引导结果状语从句sitting near him为现在分词短语作定语would想，愿意；此处情态动词would表示意愿，而不是表示过去将来时。第34段译文当他看菜单时，脸上迅速地闪现出一副震惊的表情。他从钱包里拿出所有的钱，数了数，放在一个茶碟上。然后忧心忡忡地边看菜单边看自己的钱，直到找到一样使他微笑的东西。于是他点了一道名叫“鞑靼牛肉末”的菜。当菜送到后，他吃惊地发现“鞑靼牛肉末”实际上就是生汉堡。他试图吃下它，但是从他脸上的表情看，显然他发现那味道真的令人厌恶。他无法掩饰自己的感受，除了当服务员问他是否一切都好时，他微笑地点头，表示一切都很好。可是，当服务员不再看着他时，他就匆匆忙忙地将生肉藏到伸手可及的任何地方糖碗、小花瓶、圆面包里、盘子下面。最后，他不顾一切了，甚至将一些肉塞进坐在他附近的一个女士的手提包里，扔到餐厅小提琴手的裤子里！我喜欢在电视上看憨豆先生，但是不想在现实生活中遇见像他这样的人，我肯定不想与他共进晚餐！Text 2Rowan Atkinson is the actor who plays Mr Bean. In Britain, Mr Atkinson is quite famous for many other wonderful characters that he has created but internationally, he is best known for the dizzy， awkward, clumsy， but always amusing Mr Bean. If you think that Rowan Atkinson is anything like his famous creation, then you are in for a surprise.Rowan was born on January 6, 1955, and spent his early years on the family farm with his mother, three older brothers and his strict father, who did not believe in the value of television. For a time, he attended the same school as Tony Blair, who was two years older than him. At 13, Rowan earned a scholarship to a boarding school. Later, he studied at Newcastle University where he had the highest marks in his year. At Oxford, he obtained his Masters degree in electrical engineering. This might explain his interest in fast cars, of which he has a vast collection.be famous for .因而出名be well known for .因而出名be famous/well known as作为而出名dizzy adj.愚蠢的；头昏眼花的clumsy adj.笨拙的，不灵活的amusing adj.令人发笑的anything like有点儿像be in for肯定会经历，注定要遭受go in for参加，从事，对感兴趣believe in相信，信任，信赖attend v定期去(学校、教堂等)；出席，参加attendance n出席，参加the same . as .跟一样scholarship n奖学金，后接介词to。boarding school寄宿学校boarding fees寄宿费用boarding house提供膳宿的私人住宅where引导定语从句obtain/bteIn/vt.得到，获得obtain ones degree in在专业获得学位Master硕士Doctor博士Bachelor学士electrical engineering电力工程学“介词关系代词”引导定语从句。课文2第12段译文罗恩阿特金森是扮演憨豆先生的演员。在英国，阿特金森先生因为他所塑造的许多其他精彩的角色而非常出名。但是在国际上，他还是以头脑简单、愚蠢又笨拙、但总能使人发笑的憨豆先生最为知名。你如果认为罗恩阿特金森本人与他塑造的著名角色类似的话，肯定会大吃一惊了。罗恩出生于1955年1月6日。他的早年是与他严厉的父亲、母亲和3个哥哥一起在家庭农场上度过的。他严厉的父亲不相信电视的价值。有一段时间，他与托尼布莱尔上同一所学校，布莱尔比他大两岁。罗恩13岁时获得了一所寄宿学校的奖学金。后来，他在纽卡斯尔大学学习，并获得同级的最高分数。在牛津大学，他获得了电力工程学硕士学位。这也许能够解释他对跑车的兴趣，罗恩收集了很多跑车。Rowans career change from an electrical engineer to a famous comedian was partly due to some speaking problems he had in his childhood. He compensated for this by talking very deliberately. This may have inspired the abnormal speech patterns of many of his characters.While still at primary school, Rowan had already shown admirable acting talent. Although his teachers predicted a career in acting, Rowan was not convinced himself, until he met a group of talented people at university, who were involved in theatre, and he realised this could be a career for him. Another key event occurred when, one day in 1976, he was playing around and pulling faces in the mirror. He realised something. “I discovered my face，” he said later. John Lloyd, who worked for the BBC, says, “It was one of those things which happen very rarely in your life, when you realise you are in the presence of genius. I was convinced he would be more famous than Chaplin.”partly/ptli/adv.部分地due to由于，因为he had in his childhood为定语从句。compensate/kmpnseIt/vt.补偿，赔偿compensate for弥补；抵消deliberately adv.从容不迫地；故意地inspire v激励；促成inspire sb. to do sth.激励某人做某事admirable adj.值得赞赏的predict v预言，预测convince/knvIns/vt.使相信使某人相信be involved in参与，从事play around四处游戏pull faces做鬼脸rarely/reli/adv.很少，难得presence/prezns/n.存在；到场，出席in the presence of sb.在某人面前，有某人在场in the presence of sth.存在的情况，有的存在genius/dinis/n.天才be convinced (that) .相信，确信第34段译文罗恩从电力工程师到著名喜剧演员的事业转变，部分是由于他童年时的一些说话障碍。他用从容不迫的讲话方式来弥补这一点。这可能为他许多角色的不同寻常的说话方式奠定了基础。还在上小学时，罗恩就已经表现出令人赞叹的表演天分。虽然他的老师预言他将来从事表演事业，但是罗恩自己并不相信，直到在大学遇到一群从事戏剧工作的天才人物，他才意识到表演可能成为他的事业。另一重要事件发生在1976年的一天，那天他无所事事，就对着镜子做鬼脸。他意识到了什么。后来他说：“我发现了我的面孔。”为BBC工作的约翰劳埃德说：“这是你生活中很少发生的事情之一，这时你意识到你正面对着天才。我当时就确信他将比卓别林更加著名。” PrereadingPlease match the words with their proper meanings.1resistAto accept that sth.is true2figure Bready to do anything regardless of danger3acknowledge Cto cause great surprise in sb.4scold Da person of the type mentioned5forbid Eto refuse to accept sth.and try to stop it from happening6desperate Fto get sth., especially by making an effort7astonish Gto some extent; not completely8obtain Hto make sb. feel certain9partly Ito speak angrily to sb.especially a child, because they have done sth. wrong10convince Jto order sb.not to do sth.; to order that sth.must not be done15_610_答案：15EDAIJ610BCFGHLeadinDo you know the man in the picture?

What can I do？” The operator says, “Dont worry.First, make sure hes dead.” There is a silence.Then a shot is heard.Bang! The hunters voice comes back on the line: “OK, now what？” This is perhaps slightly 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 quite a “black” joke.The experts also found the second funniest joke: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip.After dinner, they go to sleep.Some hours later, Holmes wakes up.“Watson, what do you see？” “Millions of stars，” replies Watson.“And what do you infer from that？” “Well, there are billions of planets .We are a small part of the universe .We will have a beautiful day tomorrow . ”“Watson, you idiot (笨蛋)! Someone has stolen our tent！”I personally think this is better.Understanding this joke, however, depends on us knowing who Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are. It has an unexpected ending something that is very important and necessary for most jokes.Surprise can be funny.Whats funny on the Earth? Scientists are excellent at studying complicated (复杂的) things.Some things are much too complicated, even for the most intelligent thought.语篇解读：本文是说明文。什么笑话最好呢？本文作者举了两个例子来说明影响理解笑话的因素。1.It is difficult to find the funniest joke in the world because _.Athere are too many jokes to choose fromBthose experts cannot agree with each otherCpeople across the world create new jokes every dayDpeoples standards of what is funny are not the same解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段可知，要想找到世界上最好笑的笑话很难，这是因为人们对此的评判标准不一样。2In the authors opinion, the first joke _.Ais really funny and amusingBis not as funny as those experts thoughtCshows peoples wrong understanding of huntersDtells readers never to look down on brave hunters解析：选B推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知，作者认为这个笑话只是略微好笑，而第二段中提到专家们将这个笑话选为世界上最好笑的笑话。由此可推知，作者认为这个笑话没有专家们认为的那么好笑。3Which of the following influences the understanding of a joke most?AThe readers mood.BThe readers cultural background.CThe characters style of language.DThe number of funny points in the joke.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段第二句和倒数第二段第二句可知，读者的文化背景是理解笑话的最重要的因素。4In most cases, the completely necessary point of a joke is _.Aa result beyond expectationBthe mention of great peopleCextremely funny behaviorDthe use of special phrases解析：选A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第三句可知，出乎意料的结尾对大多数笑话来说是必不可少的。BKuringai Chase National Park Guided Walks and Nature ActivitiesSUNDAY MAY 7 EASYEarly Morning Walk in Upper Lane Cove ValleyMeet at 7：30 am at the end of Day Rd, Cheltenham while the bush is alive with birdsong.Round trip: 4 hoursFRIDAY MAY 12 MEDIUMPossum ProwlMeet at 7：30 pm in Seaforth Oval car park.Enjoy the peace of the bush at night.Lovely water views.Bring a torch (手电筒) and wear sports shoes as some rock climbing involved.Coffee and biscuits supplied.Duration (持续时间): 2 hoursSUNDAY JUNE 4 HARDBairne/Basin TrackMeet at 9：30 am on Track #8, West Head Road.

Do popular science TV shows cover too little science to be correct? Scientists have a lot to thank Professor Brian Cox and Sir David Attenborough for.The two most outstanding science broadcasters of the moment have attracted a wide audience to their shows.Back in late March, Stargazing Live returned with special broadcasts from Australia attracting over 1.5 million viewers the top rated show of the day on BBC 2.In 2016 Planet Earth was the Radio Times Critics 8th best show of the year, and was more watc
