‎2020届一轮复习人教版必修四Unit3A taste of English humor单元作业 一) Warming Up & Reading — Prereading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Humor 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 (升级) 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.“That's spelled ‘P’ as in ...” In a twinkling (眨眼间), the whole day changed from bad to lovely at both ends of the wire.‎ An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist (赞助) 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 backswing threw the bird 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 (发音) 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.‎ 语篇解读：幽默能使我们有效地应对尴尬的局面。‎ ‎1．What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A．Humor is the key to success in our work and lives.‎ B．Humor enables us to deal with difficult situations effectively.‎ C．Humor is the best way to criticize someone without losing his face.‎ D．Humor makes fun of any difficult situation.‎ 解析：选B　主旨大意题。从文章结构上分析，作者在首段中就提出了本文的中心论点，而且其后的三段都对中心论点加以说明。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体的方面。故应选B项。‎ ‎2．Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?‎ A．Comedians on TV are believed to have done a lot in making people more tolerant (容忍) of racial and religious differences.‎ B．To make up differences, humor is a most acceptable and effective means.‎ C．People often turn to humorous ways when meeting with difficult situations because of its effectiveness.‎ D．Only by adopting the means of humor can one succeed in some jobs.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。选项A、D内容分别位于第一段的末句和第三句中，选项B的内容虽然在原文中没有直接出现，但与第一段中所含意思相同。‎ ‎3．What caused the roast turkey to drop onto the floor?‎ A．The backward movement of the door.‎ B．The son's rude behavior.‎ C．Someone happened to be at the door.‎ D．The bird raised by the family.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句可知他成功地用肘部推开了门，但是复位的门却将火鸡打到了地上。故应选A项。‎ ‎4．What do you think would probably be the result if the hostess got angry and scolded the son?‎ A．It would make the embarrassing situation worse.‎ B．The son would refuse to serve the guests any more.‎ C．The son would talk back and make the mother all the more angry.‎ D．The guests would leave before the dinner was over.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。由最后一段可推知答案。‎ B Welcome to Medellin, Colombia Climate — Medellin is about 1,538 meters above sea level. Its climate is not as hot as other cities located near the equator (赤道). The city's average temperature is ‎22℃‎.‎ Getting here — Medellin has an international airport, with flights (航班) from Miami, New York, Madrid, and many other cities. There are taxis and minibuses from the airport to downtown Medellin.‎ Getting around — The quickest and cheapest way to get around Medellin is with the wellplanned metro (地铁) system. The modern Turibus also goes around the city, showing parks, beautiful neighborhoods, and historical sites.‎ Where to stay — There are many cheap hotels, and most of them include hot showers, TV, free Internet, private lockers, and Spanish lessons.‎ Shopping — Medellin is only a few hours from the coffeegrowing centers of Colombia. Coffee can be bought as a great gift. Medellin is sometimes called the textile (纺织品) capital of the country, but it is not the best place to shop for clothes.‎ Nightlife — The funloving people of Medellin love to dance. There are many places around the city to dance. One of the most famous is the Zona Rosa. Most clubs close at 3：‎00 a．m.‎ Sightseeing — There are worldfamous museums in the city, but one place that you have to visit is the Museo de Antioquia. It has a large collection of art, including paintings by Fernando Botero.‎ Festivals — Why not plan a trip around a festival? There's a poetry festival in July, a celebration of lights in December and January, and for two weeks in August, a flower festival — the city's most important cultural event.‎ 语篇解读：本文是应用文。文章介绍了四季如春的哥伦比亚第二大城市——麦德林。‎ ‎5．How is the climate of Medellin?‎ A．It is pleasant.　　　　　 B．It is very hot.‎ C．It is quite dry. D．It is changeable.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据Climate中的“Its climate is not as hot as other cities ... average temperature is ‎22℃‎.”可知，麦德林的平均气温保持在22度，所以它的气候宜人。‎ ‎6．What can we learn about the Museo de Antioquia?‎ A．It is an art market. ‎ B．It is a mustsee museum.‎ C．It is the best place to shop.‎ D．It is a coffeegrowing center.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据Sightseeing中的“There are worldfamous museums in the city, but one place that you have to visit is the Museo de Antioquia.”可知，Museo de Antioquia是到麦德林必去的一个博物馆。‎ ‎7．When is the flower festival in Medellin?‎ A．In July. B. In August.‎ C．In January. D. In December.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据Festivals中的“and for two weeks in August, a flower festival”可知，麦德林的鲜花节是在八月举行。‎ C Ashleigh Fraser and Leah Guskjolen, both 18, wondered why they wouldn't be allowed to wear nail polish (指甲油) or artificial nails during their training to become certified nursing assistants. But when they asked, the only response they got was that “rules are rules”. Not satisfied, the teens decided to explore the issue themselves.‎ For their study, Ashleigh and Leah, seniors at Willcox High School in Willcox, Arizona, borrowed materials from the hospital where they'd trained as nursing assistants. Ten nurses there agreed to give them some scrapings (碎屑) from the top side of their nails. Half of the participants had natural nails. The other half wore nail polish or fake nails on top of their natural nails. The teens grew bacteria from the scrapings on plates.‎ Natural nails produced an average of 4.3 bacterial colonies. In contrast, scrapings from nail polish or artificial nails produced an average of 17.5 colonies! Leah and Ashleigh had their answer to the_question. Only natural nails are allowed because polished and artificial nails tend to harbor far more bacteria. The germs could be ‎ dangerous to sick patients.‎ When nurses touch patients, they often wear gloves, but many small tasks are performed barehanded. The teens hope to raise awareness of how dangerous artificial nails can be in the medical setting.“What shocked me，” Leah says，“is how unconcerned some of the nurses are. They don't think their nails are dangerous.” Ashleigh agrees and observes that nurses with polished or fake nails tended to scrub (擦洗) less vigorously when washing their hands. Their nails might look nice, but this might contribute to the large numbers of germs that hang onto their nails.‎ Ashleigh has never really liked nail polish, so she won't have to change much to pursue her dream of being a surgeon. But the results have reminded Leah, who wants to be a nurse, to give up her artificial nails for good.“They're very pretty，” she says.“I love them.” But now that she knows the risks they can cause, she admits that for a health professional they just are “not worth it”．‎ 语篇解读：医院为什么要禁止医护人员涂指甲油或戴人工指甲呢？两位青少年经研究发现，那是因为涂指甲油的指甲和人工指甲容易滋生细菌。‎ ‎8．The first paragraph is intended to introduce the________.‎ A．two teenagers' career plan B．cause of the two teenagers' study C．advantage of the two teenagers' study D．two teenagers' attitude towards their training 解析：选B　段落大意题。根据第一段可知，两位青少年对她们不能涂指甲油和戴人工指甲的原因不满意，所以决定自己找到答案。因此，第一段主要介绍了两位青少年做研究的原因。‎ ‎9．What did the two teenagers do for their study?‎ A．They got trained at a hospital.‎ B．They did an experiment by themselves.‎ C．They consulted the hospital's nurses.‎ D．They collected experimental samples at their school.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，两位青少年通过亲自做实验来找到她们想要的答案。‎ ‎10．The underlined words “the question” in Paragraph 3 refer to why________.‎ A．wearing polished or artificial nails is harmful to health B．scrapings from natural nails produced less bacteria C．they cannot wear polished or artificial nails D．they were not satisfied with the response 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第一段可知，两位青少年对她们不能涂指甲油和戴人工指甲的原因不满意，所以决定自己找到答案；根据第三段第三句可知，她们找到了这个问题的答案。因此，“这个问题”指的是她们为什么不能涂指甲油和戴人工指甲。‎ ‎11．What would Leah do about her artificial nails?‎ A．She won't have to change much.‎ B．She won't love them anymore.‎ C．She will give them up forever.‎ D．She won't give them up.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，Leah已经意识到了指甲油和人工指甲可能带来的危害，因此她认为对一名健康专业人士来说，戴人工指甲“不值得”。由此可推知，她会永远地放弃自己喜欢的人工指甲。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Do You Have a Positive Attitude?‎ Who would you rather hang around with? Someone who always acts in low spirits? Or someone who manages to see the good around him, even when things aren't always going great? __1__‎ Having a positive attitude can help you in many ways. __2__ Your friends will definitely appreciate you more if you see the silver lining rather than just the dark clouds!‎ ‎__3__ The less pressure you feel, the better you will feel overall. So if you've been feeling tired, put on a happy face and you just might feel better soon.‎ But how can you have a positive attitude when life is hard? It's more than just turning life's lemons into lemonade. __4__ But it's worth it.‎ A positive attitude doesn't mean ignoring life's troubles. It just means looking for the good in things, rather than being a pessimist and concentrating on the bad in things. Sometimes your attitude can make all the difference. ‎ Identify (识别) those areas of your life that might not be going so well. __5__ Focus on one at a time and think of ways you can find the positive in things.‎ A．The answer is to have a positive attitude.‎ B．Having a positive attitude can take some hard work.‎ C．They are likely to make you have negative thoughts.‎ D．Having a positive attitude can also reduce your stress level.‎ E．If you have a positive attitude, you're more fun to be around.‎ F．When you feel better physically, you naturally feel better mentally.‎ G．It's no surprise that people enjoy being around positive people rather than negative people.‎ 语篇解读：与那些垂头丧气的人相比，人们更愿意和那些具有积极心态的人在一起。本文论述了积极心态的重要性和拥有积极心态的方法。‎ ‎1．选G　上文是三个问句：你愿意与什么样的人在一起？是那些总是垂头丧气的人？还是那些总是设法看到事情积极一面的人？因此G项(人们喜欢和积极的人而不是消极的人在一起是意料之中的事)回答了上文提出的三个问题。‎ ‎2．选E　上一句提到积极的心态可以在很多方面帮到你，因此E项(如果有积极的心态，你就能给身边的人带去更多的快乐)紧承上文，说明了积极心态带给周围的人的好处。‎ ‎3．选D　上一段讲了积极心态给周围的人带去的好处，下一句提到压力越少，你的整体感觉就越好，因此D项(拥有积极的心态也能减少你的压力)在此承上启下。‎ ‎4．选B　上一句提到拥有积极的心态不像把柠檬变成柠檬水那样简单，那是需要人的努力的，故B项符合语境。‎ ‎5．选C　上一句提到要找出生活中不顺的事情，下一句提到一次只专注于一件事，并找到它积极的一面，因此C项(它们可能会使你产生消极的思想)在此承上启下。‎ 二 Warming Up & Reading — Language Points 一、全练语言点，基稳才能楼高 ‎ Ⅰ.单词拼写 ‎1．Yesterday evening we saw an American film starring (由……主演) Tom Hanks.‎ ‎2．She overcame (战胜) injury to win the Olympic gold medal.‎ ‎3．The differences between the two traditions astonished (使惊讶) everyone present.‎ ‎4．In my opinion, much of the research is convincing (令人信服的)．‎ ‎5．As is known to us all, Dr. Yuan Longping is an outstanding (突出的) Chinese scientist in agriculture.‎ ‎6．Though she was a failure (失败者) in life, she gained great success in her career.‎ ‎7．Some people are never content (满意的) with their life and always thinking of gaining wealth.‎ ‎8．You should learn how to entertain (使娱乐) yourself and enjoy your life.‎ ‎9．He became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary (普通的) people.‎ ‎10．Our incomes unfortunately (不幸地) have not kept up with the rising prices.‎ Ⅱ.单句改错 ‎1．With everyone noticed, I slipped into the room.noticed→noticing ‎2．The children enjoyed themselves with their hearts' content.with→to ‎3．To her astonishing, her son has passed all the exams.astonishing→astonishment ‎4．In the final game Sweden easily overcame with France.去掉with ‎5．The manager directed that the meeting was cancelled.was→be ‎6．In fact most people are well off than they were five years ago.well→better ‎7．He remembered everything exactly as if it has happened yesterday.has→had ‎8．I found his speech convinced and admired him for his eloquence (能言善辩)．convinced→convincing ‎9．We had no choice but to hire a magician to keep the children entertaining.entertaining→entertained ‎10．Up to now, the program saved thousands of children who would otherwise have died.saved前加has Ⅲ.补全句子 ‎1．We were_astonished_at the news of his failure.‎ 他失败的消息使我们震惊。‎ ‎2．I couldn't convince_him_that he was wrong. ‎ 我无法使他相信他错了。‎ ‎3．I couldn't go to see the film, with_a_lot_of_work_to_do.‎ 由于有许多工作要做，我不能去看电影了。‎ ‎4．The plan to expand the company overseas was a_complete_failure.‎ 在海外扩展公司的计划彻底失败了。‎ ‎5．I have_heard_nothing from him up_to_now.‎ 到目前为止，我没有他的任何消息。‎ ‎6．That rich man is tired of city life, so he is_content_to_live in the country.‎ 那位富人厌倦了城市生活，因此他愿意生活在乡下。‎ ‎7．The fierce battle cut_off_the_communication between the two cities.‎ 激烈的战斗切断了这两个城市之间的通讯。‎ ‎8．There was a_bored_expression on her face.‎ 她脸上有一种厌倦的表情。‎ Ⅳ.课文语法填空 As 1.an outstanding humourous actor, Charlie Chaplin brightened the lives of Americans and British during the period of silent films.

She was trying to explain the principle of income tax (所得税)．‎ ‎“You see，” she began speaking slowly and carefully，“each person who works must pay part of his or her salary to the government. If you make a high salary, your taxes are high. If you don't make much money, your taxes are low.”‎ ‎“Does it make sense？” she asked.“Does everyone understand the meaning of income tax？” The students nodded.‎ ‎“Are there any questions？” she asked. The students shook their heads.‎ ‎“Very good！” she said.“Now, I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short composition on the subject of income tax.”‎ Little Joe was a slow learner. He had lots of problems with spelling and grammar, but this time he at least seemed to understand the task. He took his pen and after a few minutes, he handed the teacher the following composition: Once I had a dog. His name was Tax. I opened the door and in come Tax.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。老师尽力让学生们理解什么是income tax，可是依然有学生闹出了笑话。income tax到底是什么，你弄明白了吗？‎ ‎1．The teacher was trying to explain ________ one day.‎ A．how the government works B．the principle of income tax C．everyone should pay income tax D．how much tax one should pay for his income 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“to explain the principle of income tax (所得税)”可确定答案。‎ ‎2．After the teacher's explanation, ________.‎ A．all the students shook their heads B．many of the students were still puzzled C．a few students disagreed with their teacher D．not all the students understood the meaning of income tax 解析：选D　推理判断题。由文章内容可知，尽管老师对于什么是“income tax”做出了解释，尽管乔认为自己理解了老师所说的概念，但通过他的作文可以看出，他并没有理解老师在说什么，由此可确定答案为D。‎ ‎3．The students were asked ________.‎ A．to say something about income tax B．to answer some questions on income tax C．to write a composition on income tax D．to explain the principle of income tax 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“write a short composition on the subject of income tax”以及最后一段的“composition”可知，老师要求学生们写一篇关于“income tax”的作文。‎ ‎4．What made Little Joe write that kind of composition?‎ A．His poor understanding of the teaching.‎ B．The teacher.‎ C．His classmates' nodding heads.‎ D．His spelling and grammar ability.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据乔写的内容可以看出，他将“income tax”理解成了“in come Tax”，他认为Tax是个名字，由此可知他理解力较差。‎ Ⅱ.语法填空 Lisa never had the chance to know her father. He and her mother divorced (离婚) when she was just a young child. __1__ he didn't move far, he never came to visit his children.‎ Lisa often wondered about her father.
