A good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”
Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an incredible ice-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling (上限) that I could never break through,” Hannah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid. Told The Guardian, “I could never speak to people on the sam e level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts.”
In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didn’t think his. Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.
In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby,” said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Au stralia. “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”
In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while Britons use irony－basically, saying something they do n’t mean to make a joke－every day, people in the US don’t see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to
be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit like Americans themselves,” he wrote in The Guardian.
25. The writer quoted the sentence, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than under standing vocabulary and grammar.” to show that______.
A. making jokes can help you make friends with native speakers
B. local jokes can help you to understand the local culture better.
C. understanding jokes requires a good knowledge of vocabulary and grammar.
D. to understand its jokes, you’d better lean the culture.
26. What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?
A. She feels confident in using Spanish.
B. She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.
C. She thinks that Spanish people do not have much of a sense of humor.
D. She feels that not being able to share their humor makes her seem boring to Spanish people.
27. Joe Wong is used as an example to _______.
A. show that there are cultural differences in humor
B. prove that it can be difficult to translate jokes
C. suggest that bilingual people (双语者) have no problems in making people laugh
D. show that the expressing ability affects the sense of humor
28. From the article, we can learn that _______.
A. jokes about sports are the most difficult ones for foreign people who have different cultural backgrounds
B. Americans might not be able to enjoy British jokes
C. not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easily
D. British people’s dark jokes often make people uncomfortable
C
Digital wallets have been called the future of real-world payment technology. With major players like Alipay, WecChat and Apple Pay becoming popular, it seems to be a safe bet that a change in consumer payment technology is coming soon.
A recent study by Citi Retail Services found that a growing number of people are embracing digital wallets, due in large part to their convenience and ease of use , “There’s no question 2016 will be an important year as digital wallets gain more acceptance.”, Leslie MeNamara, managing director of partner management, Citi Retail Services, noted.
Last month, CNN reporter Will Ripley experience a day in Beijing without his wallet. “In China’s largest cities, you can definitely survive without carrying a pocket full of cash and credit cards- as long as you’ve got your smartphone,” he wrote. “A huge number of businesses in Beijing accept mobile payments.”
He paid for breakfast by scanning a QR code on the window of a hole-in-the –wall restaurant. All he had to do was enter a password and the transaction(交易) was completed. Then he also used his phone to pay for movies tickets, buy takeout food, order goods for delivery.
In fact, he was not the only one to enjoy this convenience. His assistant Shen Lu also paid her household water bill with her mobile phone. In seconds, she was able to transfer funds( 存款) from one of several linked accounts.
Unlike the situations in the US and other countries, “China doesn’t have a really money-making credit card system”. Gu Yu, co-founder of the new payment app Mileslife, told CNN. “So Chinese people just skipped credit cards and wet straight to mobile payments.”
Gu also pointed out the advantages of mobile payments. “No coins or bills that can be lost or stolen, electronic receipts, the ease of keeping track of spending and of course, no wallet taking up space.” he said
29. What is the article mainly about?
A. How to survive with no cash or credit cards at hand in China.
B. Differences between mobile payments and traditional cash payments.
C. The increasing popularity of digital wallets in China and the reasons behind it.
D. Differences in payments between America and China.
30. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the artiele?
A. To use Alipay, WeChat and Apple Pay is much more convenient than cash for payments.
B. By scanning a QR code, the transaction is done.
C. You will receive electronic receipts if you use a mobile payment app.
D. The Chinese credit card has a very perfect system.
31. The passage is written to _____
A. encourage the readers to use digital wallet
B. introduce mobile payment
C. compare mobile payment with traditional payment

D
In 1982 Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He was out of the shipping lanes and floating in a life raft, alone. His supplies were few. His chances were small. Yet when three fishermen found him seventy-six days later, he was alive.
His account of how he survived is fascinating. But the thing that caught my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost. Giving up would have seemed the only wise option.
When people survive these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in similarly desperate circumstances give in or go mad.
"I tell myself I can handle it," wrote Callahan. "Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate.
I tell myself these things over and over, building up fortitude…."
It struck me as something important. And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming. And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my senses.
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad compared to something better. But others have been through much worse. So here, coming to us from the extreme edge of survival, are words that can give us strength. Whatever you're going through, tell yourself you can handle it. Tell this to yourself over and over, and it
will help you get through the rough spots.
32. The author seemed more interested in __________.
A. what made Steven Callahan decide to cross the Atlantic
B. What made Steven Callahan live through the circumstances
C. what Steven Callahan though of in the tough circumstances
D. what happened to Steven Callahan on the half way
33. We can infer from the third paragraph that ___________.
A. one’s life or death depends on the state of mind
B. it is not difficult for one to keep up one’s spirits
C. most people have good physiological quality
D. had conditions can improve one’s will
34. The word “fortitude” in paragraph four is closest in meaning to __________.
A. encouragement
B. confidence
C. conflict
D. attitude
35. Which would be the best title?
A. An important lesson-Perseverance
B. A special experience
C. The story of Steven Callahan
D. The power of encouragement
