25、   A good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language.

There’s more to learn understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.

Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an ice-breaker for a language learner who wants to build friendships with native speakers.

“I always felt that humor was a ceiling(上限)that I could never break through,” said Hannah Ashley, who once studied Spanish in Madrid. “I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts.”

In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way.

Сhіnеѕе-Аmеrісаn соmеdіаn(喜剧演员)Jое Wоng(Нuаng Хі)fоund thіѕ оut fіrst-hаnd(亲身经历). He had achieved great success doing stand-up comedy(美式单口相声)in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that his humor didn’t translate. People didn’t think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.

In Australia, many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby(橄榄球)because I know nothing about rugby,” said Melody Cao, who was once a student in Australia. “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”

In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while British people use irony(讽刺)—basically, saying something they don’t mean to make a joke—every day, people in the US don’t see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to(倾向于)be more subtle (不易察觉)and dark, while American jokes are direct with their meanings, a bit like Americans themselves,” he wrote in a newspaper.

【1】By using the underlined sentence, the writer means that .

A.you need to learn about a culture to understand its jokes

B.local jokes can help you to understand the local culture better

C.making jokes can help you form friendships with native speakers

D.understanding jokes requires excellence in vocabulary and grammar

【2】What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?

A.She feels confident in using Spanish.

B.She believes that it’s better to tell the facts than jokes.

C.She thinks that Spanish people do not have much of a sense of humor.

D.Not being able to understand their humor makes her seem boring to Spanish people.

【3】Joe Wong is used as an example to .

A.prove that it can be difficult to translate jokes

B.show that there are cultural differences in humor

C.show that your language ability influences your sense of humor

D.suggest that bilingual people(双语者)have no problems making people laugh

【4】What are American jokes like?

A.Ironic. B.Subtle. C.Direct. D.Dark.

【5】From the article, we can learn that   .

A.Americans might not be able to enjoy British jokes

B.British people’s dark jokes often make people uncomfortable

C.English native speakers can all understand English jokes easily

D.jokes about sports are the most difficult ones for foreign people

26、   The Life of Jane Goodall

On the morning of July 14, 1960, Jane Goodall arrived at Lake Tanganyika in the Gombe National Park. Then around 5 p. m, Jane went into the forest to find her first chimpanzee.

As a young woman, Jane Goodall was following her childhood dream of studying chimpanzees in Africa. After many months of difficult work she made three important discoveries: chimpanzees ate meat, they used tools to get food, and they also made tools.

Every evening, Jane wrote her findings in her journal. She began to publish articles in magazines. After a while, Jane was accepted by a university. Her work was also making her famous. There was a documentary (纪录片)film,Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees (1963), and then My Friends the Wild Chimpanzees (1969), the first of many books. During the 1970s, Gombe became a dangerous place to work. It is on the border of four different countries and there was fighting among them. Many foreigners left, but Jane stayed to continue her workand noted that chimpanzees could also be violent.

A different problem developed in Gombe in the 1980s. The forests were getting smaller and there was no enough space for chimpanzees because of the increasing human population.As a result, there were only about a hundred chimpanzees living in Gombe by t the end of the1980s. Jane realized something had to be done, so she made a plan with the local community to grow more trees.

At the beginning of the 1990s, Jane left Gombe. She set up sanctuaries (庇护所)for chimpanzees which had been caught because of the trade in chimpanzee meat. She also started giving speeches. She has very little spare time but still spends part of every year in the forest in Gombe, watching her chimpanzees.

27、   Everyone has an important role in society. In this time of public crisis（危机）, it’s important that each of us sticks to our roles and plays them well. What can common people do in this crisis? How are the Chinese people taking on their special responsibilities? Here are some of the examples.

The novel coronavirus（新冠病毒）made this year’s Spring Festival very different for most of us. Many places in China began a first-level emergency (突发事件) response to the virus at the end of January, calling for people to stay at home. Following these rules, most people gave up family dinners during the Spring Festival and canceled any festival celebrations.

“It’s the quietest Chinese New Year I’ve ever had,” Xin Jingrong, a 14-year-old student from Nanning, Guangxi. It was the first time that Xin’s grandmother had to put off her trip to Nanning and stay alone in her hometown.

The control all over China not only separates many families, but also   ▲   . Many shops are closed, delivery services are slow, and wearing masks in public has become a must. But people are showing their understanding and cooperation (合作).

Tong Zexi, a 15-year-old student from Harbin, has not gone out in more than 20 days. “I know I need to protect myself and cause no trouble. In this key time, when one gets sick, many others could be influenced.”

More than simply following the rules, some people have done amazing things to help fight the outbreak. On Feb 3, Zhao Junyan, a Junior 2 student from Shanghai, brought 15,000 masks from Indonesia back to China, People’s Daily reported. Zhao, while traveling in Jakarta, collected the masks with his uncle, who works in the city. The 15-year-old gave away all of the masks to Cangnan, Zhejiang, his hometown. “When a country is in trouble, everyone is responsible to help,” Zhao said to the reporter. “What I have done is what an normal Chinese person can possibly do.”

As a popular speech says nowadays, “We are all fighters!” Everyone has his or her role to play in this fight. And it’s believed that we can soon enjoy the warm sunshine and beautiful spring freely outside!

【1】What do we know about Xin Jingrong?

A.Xin lives in Nanjing. B.Xin’s grandmother celebrated this Spring Festival alone.

28、阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E、F）中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。

The people below travel abroad. Read the following stories and decide what problem each traveler experienced while traveling.

_______【1】 David got lost in an isolated place. To make matters worse, he had an accident and couldn’t walk freely. So he was in great need of help.

_______【2】Paul had to buy a hamburger and ate it in the park instead of eating his mother’s delicious chicken, with which he couldn’t go through the customs（海关）.

______【3】Ann was stopped at the customs because she was carrying medicine without a doctor’s prescription. How regretted she was not to have done that!

_______【4】Sally offended some of the people in the town when she was visiting by wearing wrong clothes. She should have found out about local customs and followed them.

_______【5】Jack didn’t get a transit card when he changed planes an airport, which made him very worried. So he was not allowed to get on board.

A. My mother was worried about me. She cooked me all my favorite dishes and put them into a box to take with me on my journey. But the customs officer checked all the plant and animal products at the airport. Unfortunately it was illegal（违法）for me to bring into the country the kind of food my mother had given me and so it all had to be thrown away.

B. It was very hot so I put on some shorts and a T-shirt to go sightseeing. I hadn’t gone very far when I found everyone was looking at me, and they didn’t seem friendly to me. One woman even spat on me as I walked past. I decided to get off the crowded streets and so I turned down a small, quiet street.

C. During the four-day walking tour, I was amazed by mountain scenery and the ancient ruins we passed on our hike. On the last day, we arrived at the ruins of Machu Picchu in time to see the sunrise over the Andes. I spent the day visiting the ruins of that ancient Inca city before catching the train back to the capital city of the country.

D. When I got off the plane at the first airport. I saw someone handing out cards to some of the passengers, but I didn’t know what they were for, so I didn’t take one. When I tried to board the second plane they asked for my transit card, which I didn’t’ have. I was worried they were going to send me back to London.

E. I had been walking for about an hour when suddenly I slipped and fell down a riverbank. I hurt my ankle and couldn’t stand up. I didn’t know how I could get back to the village. I hadn’t told anyone what I was going, so no one would know where to look for me when they realized I was missing.

F. When I arrived, a customs officer at the airport looked in my bag and found the pills in a small box. He wanted to know what the pills were for and why they weren’t in their proper bottle with my name and the doctor’s name on it. I explained that the bottle had been too big and heavy. Then he wanted to know if I had a letter from my doctor explaining about the pills.
