高中英语Unit3AtasteofEnglishhumour培优练习（含答案）
Unit 3 A taste of English humour培优练习Ⅰ.阅读理解AA nation's humor is linked to the historical development of the country. How funny somebody finds a certain thing depends on many things including ages，personal experiences，levels of education and locations. Therefore，humor is something that is not always transferable (可转移的) in another country.What about when both countries speak the same mother tongue？Does that mean they will then share the same sense of humor，or can differences still take place？Let's take the example of Britain and America. Time and time again，people say that Brits and Americans don't “get” each other's sense of humor. It is often argued that one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humor is that Americans don't understand irony (反话)．Simon Pegg explores this topic in depth in his article What Are You Laughing At？He concludes that this statement isn't true and I agree with him.In fact，Brits use irony on a daily basis while Americans don't. I think Americans understand British irony (most of the time anyway)；what they don't understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use irony，they tend to say that they are “only kidding”．They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than Brits do. Maybe this comes from a fear of offending (冒犯) people.The American sense of humor is generally more slapstick (闹剧的) than that in Britain. I think this arises from a cultural difference between the two. Their jokes are more obvious and forward，a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes，on the other hand，tend to be more subtle．This may stem from the fact that British culture is more reserved (矜持的) than American culture.1．What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?A．Humor is difficult to get.B．Humor is influenced by culture.C．Not all people have a sense of humor.D．It is important to have a sense of humor.2．What is the author's point of view in Paragraph 2?A．Americans don't get Brits' humor.B．Americans know how to use irony.C．Simon Pegg is professional in using irony.D．Britain and America share the same sense of humor.3．What can we learn about Brits and Americans from Paragraph 3?A．Americans' jokes often offend people.B．Brits' irony is not easy to understand.C．They are different in how often to use irony.D．They are not sure about the need to use irony.4．What does the underlined word “subtle” mean?A．Hidden. B．Funny.C．Obvious.D．Special.BHobbies in general are becoming something of the past. Our lives are already filled with classes，homework，working，relationships and sleeping. When we do have a spare moment，it is all too easy to spend it on the endless entertainment and media that are right at our fingertips.I do not doubt that there are some people who could become a great writer or musician. I only fear that so many people are busy pursuing their education and their careers，but they never even see the potential (潜能) they have. The next great photographer or singer could be going to college right now. But they might not even know they have a gift for photographing or singing if they've never picked up a camera or a guitar.Of course，the final goal of pursuing a new hobby shouldn't be to become rich and famous. For most people，a hobby is just something they enjoy doing for the purpose of the thing itself. Such hobbies are still very useful. Studies have shown that people who have a hobby are less likely to have stress and more likely to have more meaningful lives.Most importantly，a hobby is just something you do to make you happy. I hate to break it to you，but we all have a long lifetime of work and stress ahead of us. It will make things much easier if we can practice the piano or make some collections after work.Sure，it's not easy to start a new hobby while going to school，but it will likely never get easier than it is right now. So think about the thing that youhave always wanted to try but were too embarrassed or busy or whatever. You never know，you might become the world's next great people. If not，you'll at least be a little more well-rounded，more interesting and less stressed.5．What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?A．All people should learn to relax.B．Today's people have little time for hobbies.C．People in the past took their hobbies seriously.D．People's lives have been negatively affected by media.6．What does the author think of hobbies?A．They may take up too much time.B．They can help us enjoy a better life.C．They sometimes can bring us stress.D．They should make us famous one day.7．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A．We should start a hobby now.B．Starting a new hobby isn't easy.C．We'd better develop a hobby at school.D．Developing a hobby will get easier as time goes by.8．What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To introduce some helpful hobbies.B．To encourage us to have a hobby.C．To tell us how to create a happy life.D．To tell us how to find our potential.Ⅱ.阅读七选五Having good study habits is key to success in college. 1 To begin making the change，you need to get organized to study.Create a fixed study space. Find a quiet space in your room or somewhere on campus where you can focus. Studying in the same place every day makes your brain combine a certain environment with work. 2Find a regular time for studying. If you study at the same time each day，your brain will be prepared for learning when you sit down. Review your schedule and see when you have free time. 3 You can study during gaps between classes or in the evening after your classes are done for the day.4 Make sure you have everything you need to study at your study space.If you're studying in a place in your home，keep things like your books，pencils，pens，and paper in that area. If you go out to study，you can take a book bag and keep all your studying materials stored there.Avoid distractions (干扰)．When you prepare your study space，it's important to keep it away from distractions. Remove any technologies that will take your mind off your work，like your iPad. 5 Besides，keep other distracting materials such as outside reading，away from your study area.A．Organize your materials.B．Start with difficult material first.C．Your room may be an ideal place for studying.D．This will help you quickly get into the state of study.E．Schedule an hour or two for studying during those times each day.F．However，many students find their former study habits are not suitable for college.G．You can also use apps to stop distracting websites like Facebook while you're studying.Ⅲ.语法填空I was only in China for about 4 months last year. I stayed in Shanghai and visited some other cities 1.(include) Beijing. While the price feels a bit too much for a high speed train，the Chinese infrastructure (基础建设) is 2. (true) far ahead of any other developing country and even some developed ones in Europe. The train stations are as big 3. airports：almost everything in 4. (they) is like airports.

They said plants had been the key object of study be cause their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four c ontinents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated（低估）the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.“Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance — for both leafing and flo wering — that results from temperature increases,” the study said.The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it sai d.Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the bas e of the food chain, using photosynthesis（光合作用）to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the plan et.Scientists believe the world’s average temperature has rise n by about 0.8℃ since 1900, and nearly 0.2℃ every ten year s since 1979.So far, efforts to cut emissions（排放）of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to preve nt the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century — a point sci entists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.57. What is the key information the author wants to give in Pa ragraph 1?A. Plants’ reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystem.B. The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists’ exp ectation.C. Climate change leads to the change of food production patt erns.D. Food chains have been seriously damaged because of we ather.58. We can learn from the study published on the Nature web site that ______.A. plants’ flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafingB. there are 1,634 plant species on the four continentsC. scientists should improve the design of the experimentsD. the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change59. Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants beca use _______.A. they can prove the climate change clearlyB. they are very important in the food chainsC. they play a leading role in reducing global warmingD. they are growing and flowering much faster than before60. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about t he world’s temperature?A. It has risen nearly 0.2℃ since 1979.B. Its change will le ad to weather extremes.C. It is 0.8℃ higher in 1979 than that of 1990.D.

Unit 3 A taste of English humour I. 单元教学目标II. 目标语言Ⅲ. 教材分析与教材重组1．教材分析本单元的中心话题是“感受英语幽默”，其中涉及到了幽默的种类及其代表人物，并就中外幽默进行了粗略的比较，以此让学生感受英语幽默的内涵。
1.1 WARMING UP中提出了三个问题：How many kinds of humour do you know？Do you know these kinds of humour？Do you have other kinds of humour in China？这三个问题直指本单元中心话题，为下一步的阅读理解作了准备。
1.2 PRE-READING在WARMING UP 的基础上提出了另外三个问题：What do you like to laugh at？What does humour mean？Is humour always kind？这三个问题进一步让学生了解幽默的含义，即把缺陷与完美、荒唐与合理、愚笨与机敏等两极对立的属性不动声色地结合起来，在对立统一中见其深刻的意义。
1.3 READING以美国著名喜剧大师Charlie Chaplin的表演为例，为学生展示了幽默的内涵。
第一段以常见的踩香蕉皮滑倒为例，指出了幽默的内涵之一：“Perhaps it makes us feel more content with our life because we feel there is someone else worse off than ourselves”.从第二段开始介绍卓别林以其独特的表现方式成为著名的幽默大师，文中列举了两部他的喜剧片，一部是The Little Trump，另一部是The Gold Rush。
前者以其穿着及行为而受到了人们的喜爱；后者通过吃皮鞋这一片段，让人领略了他的无与伦比的想象力与幽默感。

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must understand the language when we hear 31 spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves correctly with confidence and without hesitation.32 , we must be able to read the language, and fourthly, we must be able to write it.

3. 阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项An earthquake is literally an earth-shattering experience! There you are enjoying an afternoon nap, having a cup of coffee in the morning, or even sleeping on a cold winter night when -- WHAM! -- the entire crockery (陶器) shelf collapses, and all the plates and cups break into pieces. A painting on the wall nearly knocks you down as it falls.What should one do in an earthquake? The prime-time ( 黄金时间的)news givesno warning, nor is there a time of year, like the monsoon ( 季风) season, when an earthquake always occurs. Unlike a tornado or hurricane, there is no known way of predicting an earthquake.Though about 500, 000 earthquakes occur each year, only 100 of them cause damage! However, an earthquake can strike any time of the day or night, so it needs to be prepared for when you have the misfortune of being caught in the middle of one. If you're indoors, stay indoors, unless you're on the ground floor, where you can easily run outside. The best thing to do if you’re indoors is to hide under a strong piece of furniture like a bed or desk. Do not head for the stairway if you're living on an upper storey, because stairways can collapse.If you're driving, get out of traffic and stop on a wide and open road. Do not stop on a bridge, or in another case, under one. Stay inside your car until the shaking stops. Before you restart driving, look out for fissures (裂缝), breaks in the road, and bumps or cracks. Inside your home, be careful not to mm on the gas until you' re sure the cylinder (煤气罐) is safe, and there is no leak.Avoid using your telephone unless there’s an emergency. You could be occupying lines that are needed by other people.Lastly, if you’re not trapped or seriously hurt, do not expect fire fighters, army or police to help you. They may be busy rescuing people in greater need than you!41. What does the passage mainly tell us about?A. How to predict earthquakes.B. What to do during an earthquake.C. The damage an earthquake can cause.D. The factors that cause an earthquake.42. From the second paragraph we learn that __A. monsoons usually come at certain times of the yearB. there are no known ways to predict hurricanesC. there are warning signs before earthquakes strikeD. a tornado can come at any time, and is hard to predict43. What should you do if you are on the first floor of a building?A. Stay inside.B. Head for a stairway.C. Hide under a strong piece of furniture.D. Run outside immediately.44. What does the underlined word "collapses" mean in the first paragraph?A. Breaks out.B. Falls down.C. Cuts down.D. Drops out.45. What should you do if you're driving on a bridge during an earthquake?A. Stop where you are and get out of the car.B. Leave the car and nm away.C. Keep on driving until you’re off it.D. Stop under the bridge and stay inside your car.答案：和其他自然灾害不同的是，地震的发生会很突然，没有任何征兆，现在还没有什么办法能够预测地震，所以我们很有必要掌握一些地震发生时自救的知识。
