However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, Its a little damp(潮湿的)outside.”Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, She isnt exactly friendly. Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. Whats more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.Mr. Bean doesnt talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.25. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?A. The British often enlarge the fact.B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.C. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.D. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.26. The author explains understatement by_.A. using examplesB. making comparisonsC. following time orderD. describing a process27. Mr. Bean makes people laugh by_.A. telling funny storiesB. making jokes about others accentsC. copying how others behaveD. using his body movements and facial expressions28. What can be the best title for the text?A. British Humour in ComedyB. Humour in Different CulturesC. Developing Your Sense of HumourD. Understanding British Humour【答案】25. C 26. A 27. D 28. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是如何理解英式幽默。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”及第二段中的“Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.”可知，英国人经常使用轻描淡写，轻描淡写意味着说的比你想的或感觉的要少，所以外国人很难理解英国笑话是因为英国人总是试图让别人觉得事情没有那么重要，故C项正确。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, Its a little damp(潮湿的)outside.”Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, She isnt exactly friendly.”可知，作者是通过举在雨中淋湿和不礼貌地对别人大喊大叫的例子的来解释轻描淡写的，故A项正确。【27题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Mr. Bean doesnt talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh.”可知，憨豆先生是通过肢体动作和面部表情使人发笑的，故D项正确。【28题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”及倒数第二段中的“Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.”可知，外国人很难理解英式幽默，要记住的主要一点是英国人经常使用轻描淡写，另一个理解英式幽默的关键是英国人不仅喜欢嘲笑别人还喜欢嘲笑自己，因此本文主要介绍的如何理解英式幽默，故D项正确。【点睛】如果文章没有统一的主题句，需要根据段落主题总结文章主题，例如本篇第4题，根据第一段中的“However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”可知，外国人很难理解英式幽默，要记住的主要一点是英国人经常使用轻描淡写，再根据倒数第二段中的“Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.”可知，另一个理解英式幽默的关键是英国人不仅喜欢嘲笑别人还喜欢嘲笑自己，因此本文的主题是如何理解英式幽默。CHow often do you exercise? A new study found that most kids aged 12 to 15 werent getting enough physical activity. The results were based on about 800 kids. As part of the study, the kids tracked and reported on their own activity levels, and took physical exams.U. S. fitness guidelines suggest an hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the study, only 1in 4 U.S. kids get enough physical activity.Its certainly worrying to see that our kids have such a limited amount of physical activity each day,” said Dr. Stephen Pont. He is an expert on childrens health.Few kids in the study met the guidelines on physical activity that raises the heart rate and makes people breathe harder. Overall, about 25% said they got an hour of that kind of exercise every day. Kids also reported on which activities they did most often outside of school gym class-basketball for boys and running for girls.The study found that fat teenagers were less active than normal-weight girls and boys. Fat girls were slightly less active than normal-weight girls, but levels were similar among overweight and normal-weight boys. The study also said that the percent of fat children aged 2 to 19 was 17%, or about 12.5 million kids.Theres always room for improvement, said Tala Fakhouri, who was the leader of the study. She also said the results provide useful information to help with fitness campaigns such as Lets Move, which was initiated by Michelle Obama in 2020. To inspire kids to eat right and get in shape, Michelle visits schools and holds exercise events. She also calls on schools to offer regular gym classes.The study also found kids who get physical education at school may get better grades.29.

My husband joins me for 3-mile walk to start our day. The exercise habit keeps our moods in check and the ups and downs of life easier to manage. We talk as we walk, sharing ideas, worries and good feelings too. Sometimes we argue a little until we figure out what to do. We always come up with something. What a blessing that is!It is so much to be grateful for. I feel I am the luckiest woman alive. Its my wish for you that youll be able to spot something in your life. I hope yet you will savor (体味) and appreciate it.Many of us spend the holiday with our aging parents or other loved ones.

A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者用自己的经历告诉我们如何提高自己的幸福指数。【33题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Science tells us that if you want to increase your happiness quotient every day, its important to take time and accept the present blessings (恩赐) in your life.”可知，如果要提高自己的幸福指数，接受现在生活中的恩赐很重要，由此可知，本文讲述的是如何提高幸福指数，故C项正确。【34题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“something in your life. I hope yet you will savor (体味) and appreciate it.”可知，我希望你能发现生活中的某些东西，我希望你能体会和欣赏它，由此可知画线词词义为“发现”，故B项正确。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Im going to recite lots of things, including that Im grateful for my health, my loving husband, and the wonderful relationship we share.”可知，作者拥有一个健康的身体和一个可爱的丈夫，而且和丈夫之间的关系也很好，再根据第五段中的“I feel I am the luckiest woman alive.”可知，作者觉得自己是最幸运的女人，由此可知，作者过着幸福的生活，故A项正确。【点睛】主旨大意题的难度较大，抓住文章主题是关键，文章主题句一般会出现在文章第一段或最后一段，因此仔细阅读这两段内容尤为重要，例如本篇第1题，根据第一段中的“Science tells us that if you want to increase your happiness quotient every day, its important to take time and accept the present blessings (恩赐) in your life.”可知，如果要提高自己的幸福指数，接受现在生活中的恩赐很重要，由此可知，本文讲述的是如何提高幸福指数而不是什么是幸福指数。第二节 七选五型阅读理解(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)从文章后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将答案标号填写在本题下面相应题号后的横线上。选项中有两项多余选项。How to Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind._36_. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation(动力) once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency(趋势) to put off things.
