1、Unit 3 A taste of English humour Ⅰ.閱讀理解 A A trip to London My family had dreamed of a trip to London for a long time.Luckily it was possible for us to realize our dream because all of us were free on the weekend. We planned to drive into Cambridge and caught the 7: 34 train to Liverpool Street

4、the concert in my pocket,this was indeed a problem.We didn’t have any mobile phones at that time.There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London,and trying to find her there.Needless to say,we didn’t find her. It was now one o’clock,and the concert began at 2:30

5、.“Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” said my wife hopefully.By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop,and the only way to get there was by subway.Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be.An hour late

6、r we were still trying to find it.Just when I was about to become angry,we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog.With his help we found the subway station which was just fifty meters down the road. By now it was far too late to get to the concert hall before the performance be

7、gan at 2:30,so we decided to return to Cambridge.It took seven hours instead of the usual two to make that journey.Nor were we able to get any food or drink on the train.We were tired and hungry.

11、理判斷題。根據第二段第二句Then my wife and I would separate from Joan,my wife’s sister,to do different things and finally meet again for lunch可知,因為要做不同的事情而分開,故選D項。 3.B　細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段最后兩句Just when I was about to become angry,we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog.With his help we found the s

12、ubway station which was just fifty meters down the road.可知,是一個盲人幫助了作者,故選B項。 4.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據倒數第二段最后兩句Nor were we able to get any food or drink on the train.We were tired and hungry.可知,在火車上沒有食物和水,他們又累又餓,故選C項。 B Today we think of Abraham Lincoln as a great leader.What most of us don’t know is that he w

13、as a well-known humorist and storyteller in his day. Lincoln learned to tell jokes and stories from his father.When Lincoln became a lawyer,he used his jokes and stories to gain the good will of the jury (陪審團),and more than once his opposing lawyer would complain to the judge that Lincoln’s stories

14、 were irrelevant and distracting to the jury.The trouble for them was that Judge David Davis loved Lincoln’s jokes more than anyone else in the court room. As a politician,Lincoln made excellent use of his humorous stories.His long time political opponent (對手) Stephen A.Douglas complained that “No

15、t any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions—disturbs me.But when he begins to tell a story,I feel that I am to be overmatched.” More than once Douglas and other political opponents of Lincoln’s saw their well presented arguments forgotten by the audience after Lincoln followed up th

21、d stories to gain the good will of the jury可知答案。 6.A　推理判斷題。根據第三段中的His long time political ...I am to be overmatched及...their well presented arguments forgotten ...anecdote可知,林肯一講幽默故事,Douglas就認為自己被打敗了,而且自己先前的演講也被觀眾遺忘了,由此可推測,他是惱怒的。 7.B　寫作手法題。在倒數第二段中,作者通過舉例來說明林肯總統是如何釋放壓力的。One of Lincoln’s neighbors t

22、old...wants two of them.即是作者所舉的例子。 8.B　寫作目的題。一談到林肯,我們普遍會認為他是位偉大的領導者,然而鮮有人知道他也很擅長講幽默故事,本文就林肯鮮為人知的這一面作了介紹。故選B項。 Ⅱ.語法填空 All the parts of the human body work together,although each one has its special part to do.The stomach must have a time 1.　　　　(rest)between meals.The other parts of the body requir

23、e rest,too.This they 2.　　　　 (usual)get while we are asleep.We must not fail to give 3.　　　　 (they) enough rest,or they will soon get worn out and give us trouble.? Sometimes,when people are not well 4.　　　　 tired out,they find they cannot sleep well 5.　　　　 night.A number of little things can contribu

24、te to a good sleep.A hot foot bath,6.　　　　 draws the blood away from the brain,frequently will be found 7.　　　　 (benefit).A glass of hot milk or cocoa,8.　　　　 (take)just before going to bed,often will have the same effect.If the sleeplessness is a result of indigestion(消化不良),a plain diet will relieve.S

Always have plenty of fresh air in the room.Keep the mind free from the cares of the day.Never take any 10.　　　　 (sleep)tablets except upon the advice of a physician,for they usually contain drugs that will inj

26、ure the heart.? 答案及剖析: 1.to rest　考查非謂語動詞。動詞不定式作定語,意為:有一個休息的時間。 2.usually　考查副詞。修飾動詞get用副詞形式。 3.them　考查代詞。此處需用賓格形式作give的賓語。 4.or　考查并列連詞。not well和tired out都屬于同一意義范疇,故用or,表示選擇:要么身體不好要么很疲勞。 5.at　考查介詞。at night在晚上,是固定短語。 6.which　考查關系詞。分析句子成分可知,此處缺少一個非限制性定語從句的關系詞,先行詞為A hot foot bath,關系詞在從句中作主語,故用whic

27、h。 7.beneficial　考查形容詞。分析句子可知,此處所填的詞是說明主語A hot foot bath的情況,故用形容詞作表語。 8.taken　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子成分可知,此空應填非謂語動詞,而且邏輯主語milk or cocoa和take(喝)構成被動關系,故用過去分詞作定語。 9.produces　考查動詞時態(tài)。主語是動詞-ing短語,整篇文章使用的是一般現在時態(tài),且sometimes是一般現在時的標志,故用一般現在時態(tài)。 10.sleeping　考查非謂語動詞。sleeping tablets安眠藥,sleeping 是現在分詞作定語,相當于tablets for

28、 sleeping。 Ⅲ.短文改錯(2018陜西黃陵中學第三次質量檢測) Dear Peter, Our school photography club is going to hold a International High School Student Photography Show,the theme of it is environmental protection.It is scheduled to start from June 15th and last for three weeks.Any student who is interesting is welcome

29、 to participate in it.I know you take good pictures but you’ve always wanted to do something for environmental protection.I remember you show me some photos on that theme the last time you visited to our school.This is sure a good chance for more people to see it.Unless you want to join in,you can s

30、end your photos to intlphotoshow@. Hope to hear you soon. Sincerely, Li Hua 答案:Dear Peter, Our school photography club is going to hold International High School Student Photography Show,the theme of is environmental protection.It is scheduled to start from June 15th and last for three weeks.

31、Any student who is is welcome to participate in it.I know you take good pictures you’ve always wanted to do something for environmental protection.I remember you me some photos on that theme the last time you visited our school.This is a good chance for more people to see . you want to join in,

32、you can send your photos to intlphotoshow@. Hope to hear you soon. Sincerely, Li Hua 剖析:International的發(fā)音是以元音音素開頭,故用不定冠詞an。 此句是定語從句,介詞之后,指代的是物,故用which。 修飾人,應該用interested。 上下文之間是并列關系,故用and。 本句中有the last time,故用一般過去時。 visit是及物動詞,故后面直接跟賓語, to 是多余的。 修飾動詞應該用副詞。 代指前面的photos,故用復數them。 上下文是條件關系,意為“如果你想加入的話……” 。 收到某人的來信,應用短語hear from。 7
