section grammar.閱讀理解ahumor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. it can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying“no”， criticizing, and getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. for some jobs, it is the only tool that can succeed. it is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that a serious dialogue may start a riot. for example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance that people in any other forum.humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating (升級) into a big deal. recently a neighbor of mine had a quarrel with his wife as she drove him to the airport. airborne, he felt miserable, and he knew she did, too. two hours after she returned home, she received a longdistance phone call. “persontoperson for mrs. i. a. pologize.” intoned the operator.“thats spelled p as in .” in a twinkling (眨眼間), the whole day changed from bad to lovely at both ends of the wire.as english hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist (贊助) in a major charity drive. austerity was a fashion in england at the time, and she had asked her children to serve the meal. she knew that anything could happen . and it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration of a tight rope walker, brought in a large roast turkey; he successfully elbowed the swinging diningroom door, but the back bird dropped onto the diningroom floor.the boy stood rooted, the guests staring at their plates. moving only her head the hostess looked at her son，“no harm, daniel”， she said，“just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen” . she enunciated (發(fā)音) clearly so he would think about what she was saying .“and bring in the other one.”a wink and a oneliner instantly changed the dinner from a redfaced embarrassment to a laughter.【語篇解讀】幽默能使我們有效地應(yīng)對尷尬的局面。1what is the main idea of the passage?ahumor is the key to success in our work and lives.bhumor enables us to deal with difficult situations effectively.chumor is the best way to criticize someone without losing his face.dhumor makes fun of any difficult situation.解析：選b主旨大意題。從文章結(jié)構(gòu)上分析，作者在首段中就提出了本文的中心論點，而且其后的三段都對中心論點加以說明。首段的第一句又是本段的中心，下面所列出的一些幽默的作用都是具體的方面。故應(yīng)選b項。2which of the following is not stated in the passage?acomedians on tv are believed to have done a lot in making people more tolerant (容忍) of racial and religious differences.bto make up differences, humor is a most acceptable and effective means.cpeople often turn to humorous ways when meeting with difficult situations because of its effectiveness.donly by adopting the means of humor can one succeed in some jobs.解析：選c細節(jié)理解題。選項a、d內(nèi)容分別位于第一段的末句和第三句中，選項b的內(nèi)容雖然在原文中沒有直接出現(xiàn)，但與第一段中所含意思相同。3what caused the roast turkey to drop onto the floor?athe backward movement of the door.bthe sons rude behavior.csomeone happened to be at the door.dthe bird raised by the family.解析：選a細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的最后一句可知，他成功地用肘部推開了門，但是復(fù)位的門卻將火雞打到了地上。故應(yīng)選a項。4what do you think would probably be the result if the hostess got angry and scolded the son?ait would make the embarrassing situation worse.bthe son would refuse to serve the guests any more.cthe son would talk back and make the mother all the more angry.dthe guests would leave before the dinner was over.解析：選a推理判斷題。由最后一段可推知，答案選a。bi can still remember it as if it happened yesterday. i was a college freshman and had stayed up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. now just before my first class of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. a few minutes nap time before class couldnt hurt, i thought.boom! i lifted my head immediately and my eyes opened wider than saucers. i looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of the noise. my young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous，boyish smile on his face. he had intentionally dropped the pile of textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “good morning！” he said, still smiling. “im glad to see everyone is awake. now lets get started.”for the next hour i wasnt sleepy at all. it wasnt from the shock of my professors textbook alarm clock either. instead, it was from the attractive discussion he led. with knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. his insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. and the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious (有感染力的). i left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well.i learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too. i learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love. what a glorious place this world would be if all of us did our work joyously and well! what a beautiful world we could create if every doctor, teacher, musician, cook, waitress, poet, miner, farmer, and laborer made their work an expression of their love! dont sleepwalk through your life then. wake up! let your love fill your work and your soul. life is too short not to live it well.【語篇解讀】本文通過作者大學第一節(jié)課的經(jīng)歷告訴我們：無論從事什么職業(yè)，我們都應(yīng)該帶著熱情和快樂去做好它。5what did the author want to do just before his first class of the day?atalk with his friends.btake a short sleep.cget his eyes examined.dstay away from the class.解析：選b細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后兩句“. my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier . a few minutes nap time before class couldnt hurt, i thought.”可知，作者很困，想在上課前小睡一會兒。故選b項。6the underlined word “mischievous” in paragraph 2 probably means “_”anaughtybtrickycsensitiveddishonest解析：選a詞義猜測題。畫線詞與boyish共同修飾smile，感情色彩應(yīng)一致。根據(jù)boyish的含義“男孩子氣的”可推測，mischievous應(yīng)表示“調(diào)皮的，淘氣的”，與naughty意思相近。故選a項。7what else did the author learn that day?astudents should not sleep in class but respect their teachers.beveryone should love his job and sleepwalk through his life.clife is too limited to make your work an expression of your love.dpeople from all walks of life should do their jobs with joy and love.解析：選d細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“i learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love.”和“what a beautiful world we could create if every doctor . made their work an expression of their love！”可知，作者學到無論你從事什么職業(yè)，都應(yīng)該用充滿快樂與愛的心去把工作做好，從而創(chuàng)造一個更美好的世界。故選d項。8what can be inferred from this passage?athe professor often kept his students sharp by using a textbook alarm.bthe author was attracted by the professors great joy and enthusiasm.cthe author left the twohour period not only wide awake, but a little smarter.dthough the author was frightened awake, he was not clearheaded in the class.解析：選b推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“with knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. his insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. and the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious (有感染力的)”可知，作者被教授的快樂和熱情所吸引。故選b項。.短文改錯one morning i was having walk in the park when i saw mr. wang, my friends father. he was sitting alone on a roadside bench. i went up to him and wish him a good morning. delighting to see me, he had invited me to sit next to him. he said，“im retired now but i often feel lonely.” this hit me hardly and i wondered how to do to make his life different. i knew he was a painter, so i asked a lots about his painting experiences. finally, i asked him，“can you teach us to
