24、Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “The British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are.” This is definitely true of British comedy. Most people think humor is about happy things, but not for the British. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be negative(消极的).

British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy. BBC’s The Office is a TV show, famous for its dry humor. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show’s comedy comes from his delusions(错觉的). For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the viewer can see that everyone hates him.

Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away, although the reality is that this man is a truly poor person.

This side of British humor is reflected(反映) in friendships as-well. At university, my friends and I would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm(挖苦) quite upsetting. She didn’t realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at them.

This way—laughing at everything—may sound rather depressing(沮丧), but our strange humor played a big part in British history. There is a saying in English: “________.” If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it’s best to just laugh it off!

【1】Which of the following can be put in the ________?

A．Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone.

B．It never rains, it pours.

C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.

D．Don’t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.

【2】How is British comedy different from other types?

A．It is often meaningless and boring.

B．It often laughs at human nature.

C．It is often about negative things.

D．It often makes people feel upset.

【3】How does the writer advise people to react(反应) to British humor?

A．Learn from it.

B．Don’t take it seriously.

C．Reply angrily.

D．Be careful not to make stupid mistakes.

【4】________ best shows the structure of the passage.

(①＝Paragraph 1 ②＝Paragraph 2 ③＝Paragraph 3 ④＝Paragraph 4 ⑤＝Paragraph 5)

A．

B．

C．

D．

25、“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.

We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.

The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.

But now... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

I wandered in the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.

I thought to myself: "Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"

In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous (蛮横的) words: "I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"

All the lights were off except Father's.

Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up (悄悄来到) in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers.

This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love---is second to none.

【1】Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.

a. I opened the door and entered the house.

b. Sadly I ran out into the street.

c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.

d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.

e. I walked about in the street without any aim.

A. b-e-d-c-a B. b-e-c-d-a C. b-e-a-c-d   D. b-e-c-a-d

【2】What made the writer think of his childhood?

A. The sight of the street lights.

B. The sight of the empty street.

C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.

D. The sight of light in his own house.

【3】Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?

A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older.

B. Perhaps the son has already grown up.

C. Perhaps they never agree with each other.

D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that.

【4】What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?

A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.

B. The father is actually kind to his son.

C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.

D. The father is always finding fault (过错) with his son.

26、   School backpacks have been a hot topic in China recently. Some Chinese parents buy hardcover school backpacks from Japan, although they can be as expensive as 5,000 yuan, according to Chinese newspaper Urban Express. These backpacks are popular because the hard cover helps hold books in place. This can help kids keep their balance and protect their spines(脊柱). But it turns out that the bags can barely fit in the students’ desks.

A good backpack is important for children’s health. “It can relieve (减轻) pressure from the shoulders,” says Dr Rob Danoff from the US. He also says students need a backpack that’s made for the child’s size. Cushioned (加垫的) backs and shoulder straps (带子) will help them avoid pain.

However, the biggest problem for school backpacks is that they are too heavy, noted Hou Weiguang, a doctor in Chengdu. In China, students have many textbooks and exercise books. The weight makes many kids suffer from side-bending (侧弯的) spines, Hou said. He suggests that a backpack should be no more than 15 percent of a child’s body weight to avoid pain or injury.

Parents need to make sure their kids only carry what they need. Schools and governments need to help too, added Zheng Yongshun, an education official from Hong Kong. He said schools should offer locker (储物柜) space and shared books so kids can carry fewer books.

【1】Why are hardcover school backpacks popular?

A.Because they are quite expensive. B.Because they are made in Japan.

C.Because they can perfectly fit into desks. D.Because they help protect kids’ spines.

【2】According to Dr Rob Danoff, good backpacks should________.

A.be smaller than children B.put pressure on shoulders

C.have cushioned backs D.have shorter shoulder straps

【3】If a student weighs 50kg, how heavy should a backpack be?

A.More than 50kg B.Less than 50kg C.More than 7.5 kg. D.Less than 7.5 kg.

【4】The last paragraph is written to offer tips on________.

A.how to choose good backpacks

B.how to reduce the weight of backpacks

C.how to encourage students to share books

D.how to design lockers for students

【5】Where is the text most probably from?

A.a shopping advertisement B.A science magazine C.A shopping poster   D.A guidebook

27、Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.

Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price (价格)。They felt unhappy and returned to their village.

"I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day.

29、   The measure（衡量）of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. — Thomas Macaulay

Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nannette O’Neill gave a math ___ to our class. When the papers were marked she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the ____mistakes throughout the test.

There is nothing really new about cheating in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to ____ after class. I was one of the twelve.

Mrs. O’Neill asked no questions, and she did not scold （责备）us, either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the ____ words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to ____ these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.

I don’t ____ about the other eleven boys. Speaking for ____ I can say: it was the most important single _____of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they ____ seem to me the best yardstick (准绳), because they give us a ____ to measure ourselves rather than others.

____ of us are asked to made great decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called upon daily to make a great many personal decisions. ____ the wallet which was found in the street be put into a pocket ____ turned over to the policeman?
