213868. （2021•西安中学•高三上期中） Are you planning to start your next international business presentation with a little joke to break the ice？Well，you might want to reconsider.The story is told of a businessman who gave a speech in a foreign country through an interpreter.
   Without warning the interpreter，he told a joke during the presentation.The interpreter?knew?the?joke?would?not?translate，so?she?said， "This?man?just?told?a?joke?that?he?thinks?is?funny，but?it?does?not?translate?well，and?you?will?not?find?it?funny?at all.So，when?I?stop?talking，everyone?please?just?laugh."
   The audience did indeed laugh aloud，but not for the reason the speaker supposed.The businessman was so pleased with?the?first?result?that?he?went?on?to?tell?another?joke.
   Each culture has different understandings of humour.What may be funny in one culture can be far from funny in another.
   For?example，while?living?in?Chile，I often tried to share great jokes from the United States，only to be met with questions like， "Oh，is?that?a?joke？Is?that?funny?in?your?country？" Similarly，Chileans?shared?their?own popular jokes that were not always funny to me.
   In September 2001，Professor?Richard?Wiseman?and?the?British?Association for?the?Advancement?of?Science created?a?project?called?LaughLab in?order?to?find?the?world's?funniest?joke.And in one year，LaughLab?received?more?than?40，000?jokes.The?following?joke?is?considered the world's funniest joke by LaughLab：
   "Two hunters are out?in?the?woods when?one?of?them?falls?down.He doesn't seem to be breathing.The other man?calls?the?emergency?services.He?says， 'My?friend?is?dead!What?can?I?do？' The operator says， 'Calm down.I can help.First，let's make sure he's dead.' There is a silence，and then a shot is heard.Back on the phone，the guy says， 'OK，now what？'"
   If you decide you must share a joke or two in another country，ask the opinion of your interpreter first.Otherwise，the?joke?may?be?on?you.

[解析]

（1）D.词义猜测题。根据文章第一段内容"Are you planning to start your next international business presentation with a little joke"（你打算用一个小笑话来开始你的下一次国际商务演讲。）可知，在国际商务演讲中讲笑话是为了愉悦气氛。A.make a difference有影响；B.avoid misunderstanding避免误会；C.introduce the topic介绍主题；D.liven things up活跃气氛。因此，break the ice与liven things up同义。故选D项。
（2）C.细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句"This man just told a joke that he thinks is funny，but it does not translate well，and you will not find it funny at all.So，when I stop talking，everyone please just laugh."（这个人刚刚讲了一个他认为很有趣的笑话，但翻译得不好，你根本就不会觉得好笑。所以，当我不说话的时候，请大家都笑。）及第三段关键句"The audience did indeed laugh aloud，but not for the reason the speaker supposed."（听众确实放声大笑，但不是因为演讲者想的那样。）可知，观众大笑是因为被告知要大笑。故选C项。
（3）B.推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容"Each culture has different understandings of humour.What may be funny in one culture can be far from funny in another."（每种文化对幽默都有不同的理解。在一种文化中好笑的东西，在另一种文化中可能就不那么好笑了。）及下一段描述内容可知，作者用自己的切身经历想要表达：幽默与文化有关。故选B项。
（4）D.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句"The other man calls the emergency services.He says， 'My friend is dead!What can I do？' The operator says， 'Calm down.I can help.First，let's make sure he's dead.' There is a silence，and then a shot is heard."（另一个人打电话给急救中心。他说：'我的朋友死了！我能做什么？'接线员说：'冷静。我能帮你。首先，我们得确定他已经死了。'一阵沉默，然后听到一声枪响。）可知，第二个人原本要救第一个人，接线员让他去确定伤者有没有死亡，但是他误以为接线员让他确保第一个人已经死了，于是开了枪。所以，第二个猎人枪杀自己的朋友是因为他误解了"确定"的意思。故选D项。

22266. （2016•新课标•ll卷） A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck（海难），by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled（雪橇） across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

33．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley？
A．They were made last week
B．They showed undersea sceneries
C．They were found by a cameraman
D．They recorded a disastrous adventure
34．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text？
A．Frank Hurley
B．Ernest Shackleton
C．Robert Falcon Scott
D．Caroline Alexander
35．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage？
A．Artistic creation
B．Scientific research
C．Money making
D．Treasure hunting.

205507. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） More than 30 years ago，there was a well-known boxer named Eugene Hart．Hart was heavily favored to win his next round against an ungifted boxer，Antuofermo．It was said that the only thing that Antuofermo could do was "he bled well"．However，here was an important thing．He had good qualities that you couldn't see．
   During the fight，Hart controlled Antuofermo，knocking him down and giving him a good beating．Antuofermo absorbed the punishment that was dealt to him by his naturally superior opponent，and he did it so well that Hart became discouraged．In the fifth round，Hart began to tire，not physically but mentally．Taking advantage of the situation，Antuofermo attacked and knocked Hart down，thus ending the fight．
   When the fighters went back to their temporary restrooms，only a thin curtain was between them．Hart's room was quiet，but on the other side he could hear Antuofermo's coach talking about who would take the fighter to the hospital．Finally he heard Antuofermo saying， "Every time he hit me with that left hook（左勾拳）to the body，I thought I was going to quit．After the second round，I thought if he hit me there again，I'd quit．I thought the same thing after the fourth round．But he stopped hitting me there．"
   At that moment，Hart began to weep．He was crying because for the first time he understood that Antuofermo had felt the same way he had and even worse．And the only thing that distinguished the guy who was talking from the guy who was crying was perseverance（毅力）．The coward （懦夫）and the hero had the same emotions．They're both humans．
   The important question to ask yourself here is this：How does each man respond to the tough situation that they are experiencing？Maybe you are in a tough position right now or，if not，one might be coming．How will you react？Like a hero or a coward？

205488. （2020•莲湖区•高一下期末） "What's your 'Thing of the Day'？" I asked my fourteen-year-old son as he got a piece of potato onto his plate．This is a question our four kids and whichever friends are staying for supper expect to be asked each evening at suppertime．Usually，it's followed with， "Uhh……Umm…We had pizza for lunch．" And then I have to refuse the response and ask for something meaningful-either something he learned or something that happened with his friends．
   But，this day，my son surprised me as he went into great detail about how he had been honestly wronged by a couple of classmates and laughed at in front of the class．I asked more questions and learned that the teachers were aware of the situation．The issue had been dealt with as much as the teachers and staff were able to．It was really just a matter of kids being mean and deciding to play a trick on someone．
   I thought about the situation all night．I vacillated between meeting the teachers，meeting the parents of the classmates，and not doing anything since the story had been told to me in a matter-of-fact way-not overly excitedly．
   I waited until the next day after school．On the car ride home，I questioned my son what about today after yesterday's situation．My son was surprised that I brought it up again． "What？No，it's over，Mom．They're my friends．They were just being stupid．They apologized．Forgive and forget，you know？We're all good．"
   I was worried that perhaps he was trying to hide his concern or sadness about the thing．But as I watched him over the next days and weeks，everything seemed "normal"．Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live the "forgive and forget" way of life？

205368. （2020•西安中学•高一上期末） "Hi，Mrs Grady，" said Mark when their neighbor opened her door， " Would you like us to shovel your sidewalk and driveway ？" Shoveling was Jamie's idea，a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day．
   Mrs．Grady was happy， " That would be wonderful，boys．I think the job is getting to be too much for me．"
   "It will cost 10 dollars，" Jamie said，" If that's OK"，Mark added．
   "Oh dear，"Mrs．Grady said disappointedly， " I haven't been able to get to the bank．I can offer homemade cookies，but I realize that's not what you had in mind．"
   Mark was going to say that Mrs．Grady could pay them another time，but Jamie cut him off，" We'll come back later．"
   Mrs．Grady doesn't look like the person who'd come to his rescue last summer when Mr．Dunn's collie，Goldie had just wanted to play ，but Mark didn't feel comfortable around big dogs．He wanted to call for help，but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth．Then Mrs．Grady's front door had flown open．She must have seen him from across the street． " Hold on ，Mark．I'm coming!" "Goldie" she'd called．As soon as Goldie had turned her head，Mrs．Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog．She wasn't much taller than Mark，but she'd stood firm as a rock in front of him．"Goldie，go home!"

205341. （2020•西安中学•高一下期末） During Amsterdam's chaotic rush hour，nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy crossing． "Look，" she says． "There's traffic coming from everywhere．Four buses from four different directions．For a child on a bike that's really confusing!"
   Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital．You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world．The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 810，000? more than the city's 750，000 inhabitants? and 63% of the population cycle daily．
   But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges．Lotta says： "The three biggest problems for us are cars，cycling tourists and scooters（小型摩托）．The cars take up too much space，the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it，and the scooters simply run you over．"
   Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun．Her idea was to add children's bikes to the popular bike share programme．
   Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor，she has been busy giving interviews，opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury member during the Amsterdam Light Parade，an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights．
   She is now planning a meeting with the city's mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with： "One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle．Right now，most of us learn it in the street，which can be quite busy．Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling，because most of them really don't know．"
   Following the success of the Amsterdam plan，cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues． "They see it works really well，" Boerma，the senior major，says． "I talk to the parents．Lotta talks to the children．And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child，you will also make it accessible for others．A city that's good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old．"

（1）Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam？
A．To teach children how to ride．
B．To ensure cycling is safer for children．
C．To give suggestions to the city's mayor on how to run the city．
D．To organize the cycling contests in the city．
（2）Which word can best replace the underlined word "superfluous" in paragraph 2？
A．Important
B．Unnecessary
C．Difficult
D．Valuable
（3）What's Boerma's attitude to the junior cycle mayor？
A．Favorable
B．Cautious
C．Ambiguous
D．Disapproving

205944. （2016•西北大附中•高二下期末） In Africa，wild baboons（狒狒） like banding together to find food and protect each other．They may not be the smartest species，but like all animals，survival instincts（本能） are programmed into their DNA．They know that being together makes them safer．
Now think about your school．Sure，no one is trying to eat you alive，but you too are a social animal．And you are one who has been thrown into a fierce environment．From day one，you sense that there's safety in numbers．And once you follow that animal instinct to form packs，you feel more secure．"When I first walked into my new high school last year，I was so nervous，"says Mike，15，a high school student in New York City．"Everyone sat and walked together，in twos or threes-sometimes as a'group' of five or more people．I didn't understand how I would ever belong．"
Mike isn't alone．In a survey，63 percent of teens told us they feel pressure to fit in or be popular，and 91 percent said their schools are divided into groups．
It is believed that to be popular is to be liked．But all popular people aren't necessarily liked．They just make rules．Popular groups aren't the only ones making rules．Zoe，a freshman from New York，says that even her close crew，which calls itself the"booknerds（书呆子），"has unspoken guidelines．When Zoe wears makeup or a dress，her friends act like she's betrayed them："They'll say，'Oh，she's painting her nails．She's a popular girl now．'They're joking，but they're not，if you know what I mean．It makes me upset．"
"Because of the way the teen brain works，differences are seen as threatening，"says researcher Alexandra Robbins．"But usually these differences are things that make a person successful in adulthood．"
Take，for example，Adam Levine of the band Maroon 5．In high school，he was a"nerdy，awkward kid crazy about music．"Now he's successful and famous．Then there's Taylor Swift：Instead of trying to fit in with the cool kids who rejected her，she put her energy into songwriting．
（1）When Mike first came to his high school，he        ．
A．was excited to make new friends

D．There are always some rules in a group．
（3）Seeing Zoe wearing makeup or a dress，her friends        ．

B．appear unhappy
C．are proud of her
D．are envious of her
（4）Which of the following is TRUE about Taylor Swift as a student？
A．She was very popular．
