D.league参考答案刷阅读理解【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何理解英式幽默。1.C细节理解题。根据第一段中的ThemainpointtorememberisthattheBritishoftenuseunderstatement.及第二段中的Understatementmeanssayinglessthanyouthinkorfeel.可知，英国人经常使用低调陈述，低调陈述意味着说的话比你想的或感觉到的要少，所以外国人很难理解英国笑话是因为英国人总是试图让别人觉得事情没有那么重要。故选C项。2.A细节理解题。根据第二段中的Forexample，ifsomeonegetsverywetinashowerofrain，hemightsay，“It’salittledampoutside.”Or，ifsomeoneisveryimpoliteandshoutsatanotherperson，someoneelsemightsay，“Sheisn’texactlyfriendly.”可知，作者是通过举例来解释低调陈述的。故选A项。3.D细节理解题。根据最后一段中的MrBeandoesn’ttalkoften，andinsteadheuseshisbodymovementsandfacialexpressionstomakepeopleaugh.可知，憨豆先生是通过肢体动作和面部表情使人发笑的。故选D项。4.D主旨大意题。根据第一段中的However，itisoftendifficultforforeignerstounderstandtheirjokes.ThemainpointtorememberisthattheBritishoftenuseunderstatement.及倒数第二段中的AnotherkeytounderstandingBritishhumouristhattheBritishliketomakefunofthemselvesaswellasothers.可知，本文主要介绍的是如何理解英式幽默，故选D项。长难句分析AnotherkeytounderstandingBritishhumouristhattheBritishliketomakefunofthemselvesaswellasothers.句式分析：Anotherkey是主句主语，is是系动词，thattheBritishliketomakefunofthemselvesaswellasothers是that引导的表语从句。tounderstandingBritishhumour为后置定语，修饰key。句意：另一个理解英式幽默的关键是英国人不仅喜欢嘲笑自己还喜欢嘲笑别人。B【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。本文阐述了人们在学习一种新语言时往往会感到恐惧和焦虑，但是如果想要进行流畅的沟通，应该将注意力放在别人说的话上，而不是美注自身表达的对错。1.B推理判断题。根据第五段中的Heentirelyfocusedonthepersonhewasspeakingtoandtheresulthewantedtoget.Hehadnothoughtsonhisownmistakes.可知，他完全专注于与他交谈的人以及他想要获得结果，而不去想自己的错误。因此费萨尔用英语对话取得成功的原因是他对于说英语的态度是正确的。故选B项。2.A推理判断题。根据第六段中的Pascalbelievesthatspeakingalanguageisnotlikethoseexamsthatmanyofushavetotakeinschool,whereatinyspellingorgrammarmistakewouldresultinabigred“×”fromtheteacher.可知，帕斯卡尔认为使用英语沟通并不是学校中的考试，犯一些小的拼写错误或语法错误也不要紧，所以她对于英语学习者犯错误的态度是宽容的。故选A项。3.D细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Don'tfocusonvourself.Focustheotherpersonandtheresultyouwanttoachieve.可知，用英语交流时，我们的注意力不要集中在自己是否会犯错误上，而是要集中在对话的另一方和想要呈现的沟通效果上，这样才能有效地进行沟通，故选D项。刷7选5【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了幽默的不同形式与种类，也提到了人们对肢体喜剧的不同看法。但是，在不同语言环境下，幽默的内容也有差别。1.A该空前提到英语有许多谈论有趣事物的方法，该空后提到幽默的重要性，说明该空提到了两者的关系。A项“幽默只是其中的方式之一”符合语境，故选A项。2.C前文的manyforms与C项中的Otherforms相对应。另外，由后文Thisiswhenapersonchangesawordorusesitinadifferentcontextforcomiceffect.可知，此处介绍幽默的其他形式，C项符合语境。故选C项。3.D由该空前Theadvantageofthisisthatthecharactersaren'treal.可知，故事里的人物大多是虚构的，所以那些情节也是虚构的，人们对此大笑时也就可以不用感觉不好了。D项中的Therefore是关键词。故选D项。4.G由本段第一句Physicalcomedyusuallydividesopinions.可知，人们通常对肢体喜剧有不同的观点，前面提到了一部分人的看法，该空指另一部分人的看法。G项中的Forothers与空前的Forsome相呼应。故选G项。5.F该段提到不同语言背景下的人对幽默的体验有差别，故首句与幽默和语言文化有关。故选F项。刷完形填空【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者以自己的两个儿子的成长经历来说明自闭症的名称的变革及自己对此的态度和情感，
