Unit 2 English around the world李仕才一、阅读理解。
Before I studied psychology，I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred.While I was right about that，I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke.When someone laughs at a joke，there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are，the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a standup comedy show in Egypt，and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets，everyone laughed their heads off.The main reason why those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.The joke wasn’t only funny，but it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel，and the more it includes other psychological factors，the more the person will like it.For example，if you envy one of your friends，and someone tells a joke that is funny and，at the same time，makes your friend seem stupid，then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.In short，we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke.I strongly discourage you from making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions，he will certainly like it a lot.【解题导语】本文主要分析了人们笑的原因。
1．What did the author find out after studying psychology?A．Only good jokes make people laugh.B．Many factors lea d to people’s laughing.C．Funny things can make people laugh.D．Laughter can make people healthy.B 解析：细节理解题。
根据第一段第二句可知，作者在学了心理学之后发现，笑不仅仅是因为事情好笑，还有很多其他的心理因素的促成和影响，故选B。
2．Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?A．They played a trick on the pedestrians.B．The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.C．They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness.D．Their emotion was approved of by the show.D 解析：推理判断题。
根据第二段最后一句可推知，人们对行人的行为大笑的原因是他们在心理上产生了共鸣，故选D。
3．What does the underlined word“belittling”probably mean?A．Annoy. B．Blame.C．Look down on. D．Make up to.C 解析：词义猜测题。
根据最后一段倒数第二句可推知，动词belittle 和短语make fun of 是近义词，结合选项可知，应选C。
annoy“使恼怒”；blame“责怪”；look down on“蔑视，瞧不起”；make up to “接近，奉承，补足”。
4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?B 解析：推理判断题。
结合全文可知，第一段导入话题；第二、三段通过具体事例进行分析；根据文章最后一段的开头“In short”可知，最后一段属于总结。
由此可知，本文属于总——分——总的结构，符合本文结构的图表是B选项。
二、单句语法填空1．This tree looks tall and strong but ________ (actual) its trunk is hollow.答案：actually actually “事实上，实际上”。
2．Schools have rights to set down their own rules ________ (base) on the general conditions of the students.答案：based be based on “以……为基础”，此处为过去分词短语作定语，因此填based。
3．The girl used to be shy, but is ________ (gradual) getting active in group work and is more willing to express herself.答案：gradually 此处修饰动词短语get active in，故用副词gradually “逐渐地”，在句中作状语。
4．On seeing her new classmate, she came ________ and said with a smile, “Glad to meet you.”答案：up come up在本句中表示“走近”。
5．She was ________ worried than angry when her daughter didn't come home.答案：more more worried than angry “与其说是生气不如说是担心”。
6．Buses run ________ (frequent) from the city to the airport.答案：frequently 此处修饰动词run，因此要用副词形式frequently。
7．The request is that manuscripts (手稿) ________ (write) on one side only.答案：(should) be written request在这里是名词，作主语时，后面的表语从句中的谓语动词应使用“should＋动词原形”结构，并且should可省略，此处表示被动意义，故填(should) be written。
8．Sometimes it looks like people with great selfcontrol aren't working hard—but that's ________ they've made it automatic.答案：because that's because ... “那是因为……”。
9．There is no such thing ________ darkness; only a failure to see.答案：as 句意：没有黑暗这种东西，只有看不见而已。
There is no such ... as ... “没有像……的……”。
10．From his ________ (express), I knew he didn't want me to ask this question.答案：expression 由空前代词his可知应填名词，expression “表情；表达”。
三、完形填空。
