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.
