Unit 3 A taste of English humour李仕才一、阅读理解With autumn on the horizon, the seasons first Oscar competitors are here. Already,the Hollywood Reporter has predicted that the often-snubbed(冷落的) Leonardo DiCaprio could win. Although before we get swept up in predictions, its nice to remember that little gold men are not the reason we love the movies. They shouldnt be the primary reason for acting in them either.Bill Murray knows this first hand. Murray was positioned to win his first-ever Oscar Academy Award for2004s “Lost in Translation”, but he lost it to Sean Penn. Years later, Murrayexplained how he took the defeat in stride(从容应对), and his words should act as a blueprint for anyone who has failed:“I went through it once before and its nice to get nominated and win some prizes. You get to go to dinners and tell little stories and so forth. Then you get to get dressed up. And then you get to be on TV, which is sweet. And you can either win or lose. Well youre not supposed to say lose when you talk about the Oscar. You are supposed to say not chosen. But I later realized that I had gotten a little caught up in the possibility of winning. So, shame on myself for getting caught in it. But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation. So I thought it didnt seem unnatural to expect that I would be rewarded just one more time. So when it didnt happen, I thought, Well, thats kind of funny. But to get prizes is not why you work.”Murray isnt alone in those feelings. No mention of actors without Oscars would be complete without recognition of Leonardo DiCaprio, who said, “I dont think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.”Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award-winning actor, but winning an Oscar for acting shouldnt be the point. Here are some other amazing actors who never won an Oscar, even if you think they did: Julianne Moore, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Will Smith. And they have provedthatcountless times before.1.We can learn about Bill Murray from the passage that_.A. he felt ashamed that he didnt win the Oscar.B. he never expected himself to win the Oscar.C. he had already won many other awards before he failed in Oscar.D. he is the first actor who had been predicted to win the Oscar but failed.2.Leonard DiCaprio is motivated to act different roles because _A. he wants to win the Oscar.B. he can cooperate with great people.C. he wants others to take pride in him.D. he is not the only actor who hasnt won the Oscar.3.The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to “_”.A. Neither Murray nor DiCaprio will won an Oscar.B. Winning an Oscar for acting shouldnt be the point.C. Some amazing actors have never won an Oscar.D. You think that some actors should have won an Oscar.4.What is the writers attitude to Leonardos idea on winning an Oscar?A. Approving.B. CriticalC. Indifferent.D. Neutral.【文章大意】本文主要介绍了落选奥斯卡奖的比尔默里和莱昂纳多对奥斯卡奖的看法。1.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation.”可知,在落选奥斯卡之前,比尔默里已经赢得了很多其他奖项。3.B 【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“but winning an Oscar for acting shouldnt be the point.”可知,此处的that指代的就是winning an Oscar for acting shouldnt be the point。4.A 【解析】观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award-winning actor, but winning an Oscar for acting shouldnt be the point.”可知,作者对莱昂纳多关于赢得奥斯卡的态度是支持的。二、单句语法填空1(2017北京高考)The national park has a large collection of wildlife,_ (range) from butterflies to elephants.答案:ranginga large collection of wildlife与range之间是主动关系,故用动词ing形式作后置定语。2Shopping is no longer just a necessity;
