Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
See if you can understand these words that have won an award for the funniest joke at a UK arts and culture festival:“I’m not a fan of the new pound coin,but then again,I hate all change.”
Did you get it The UK started to use new one-pound coins that year,so the joke contains a pun (一语双关) on the word “change”.
Britain is known for its dry sense of humour,so this is a classic British joke where you have to think about it to understand it.
When a British person tells a joke,they’ll probably say it without a laugh,or even a smile,and it’ll probably be said when you least expect it.
Americans,on the other hand,enjoy being more straightforward.In a country filled with people from so many backgrounds,jokes in the US tend to be about cultural,racial and gender differences.In the US,humour can be a way to help people overcome their differences.
A great example of this comes from an American comedian,Chris Rock,who once said,“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy,the best golfer is a black guy,the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese.” His words prove a point about stereotypes.After all,when it comes to humour,the best jokes are the ones where we can laugh at ourselves.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英式幽默和美式幽默的不同。
1.Why is the joke in the first paragraph funny
A.It has won an award at a UK arts and culture festival.
B.It uses a pun on the word “change”.
C.You have to think about it first.
D.It is a classic British joke.
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The UK started to use new one-pound coins that year,so the joke contains a pun (一语双关) on the word ‘change’.”可知,这个笑话使用了change一词的双关含义,change意思是“零钱”,也有“改变”的含义,故选B项。

2.What kind of joke do Americans most probably tell
A.They may tell a joke about gender differences.
B.They may tell a joke about their new coins.
C.They may tell a joke showing a dry sense of humour.

√
3.What kind of stereotypes did Chris Rock point out
A.Good rappers are usually white.
B.White people are good at playing golf.
C.Chinese people are taller than Americans.
D.Humour can help overcome cultural differences.

√
4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A.The British don’t like all change.
B.It is not difficult for us to understand a classic British joke.
C.American humour helps people overcome their differences.
D.Americans never laugh at themselves.
解析　细节理解题。根据文章内容可知,选项A和选项D的内容都没有在文中出现,故排除这两项。根据第三段内容“Britain is known for its dry sense of...to think about it to understand it.”可知,我们在听经典英式笑话时需要仔细想一下才能理解它的意思,故排除选项B。根据第五段最后一句“In the US,humour can be a way to help people overcome their differences.”可知,美式幽默有助于人们克服差异,故选C项。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与哥哥疏远后的某天意外收到哥哥的来信,二人关系得以修复的故事。
1.as　 [考查介词。句意:孩子时,我们就很亲近,但后来疏远了。根据“but had grown apart”可知,此处指“我们小时候很亲近”,介词as “作为”符合题意,故填as。]
2.arguments　 [考查名词的单复数。句意:我们的会面并不愉快;我们的谈话充满了争论和争吵。argument是可数名词,空处和quarrels并列,应用复数形式,故填arguments。]
3.deepen　 [考查词性转换。句意:而每一次消除误会的努力似乎只会加深我们的误解。seem to do sth好像做某事,故空处填动词原形,deepen加深,(使)变深,故填deepen。]
4.how　 [考查名词性从句。句意:他描述了他的岛屿和岛上的人,告诉我他在做什么,告诉我他的感受,并鼓励我写信。空处引导宾语从句,结合句意可知,此处指“感觉如何”,应用连接副词how引导,故填how。]
5.Rereading/Having reread　 [考查非谓语动词。句意:重读这封信的,我被其中幽默和巧妙的表达震惊了。动词reread和逻辑主语I之间是主谓关系,应用动词-ing形式作状语;此处也可用动词-ing形式的完成式,指reread表示的动作发生在谓语动词之前。注意句首单词的首字母应大写,故填Rereading或Having reread。]
6.which　 [考查定语从句。句意:这些都是我曾经尊重我哥哥的,但我认为他已经不再拥有的品质。分析句子可知,此处是“介词+关系词”引导的定语从句,先行词是qualities,关系词在从句中作介词for的宾语,应用关系代词which,故填which。]
7.It　 [考查固定句型。句意:如果不是在一个没有电话的地方,我哥哥可能永远都不会想到给我写信。It occurred to sb...某人突然想到……是固定句型,注意首字母应大写,故填It。]
8.had not been　 [考查虚拟语气。句意同上。结合句意可知,此处是虚拟语气,表示与过去事实相反,从句应用过去完成时,故填had not been。]
9.a　 [考查冠词。句意:对他来说,写信是一件必需的事。此处泛指“一件必需的事”,应用不定冠词。necessity首字母的发音为辅音音素,故填a。]
10.of　 [考查介词。句意:因为我们生活在一个沟通方便的时代,人们经常忘记他们不需要总是打电话或发邮件。in an age of...在一个……的时代,固定短语,故填of。]
