Nbdy laughed when the UK cmedy shw Little Britain tured the US. Americans didn’t find the “British steretypes(刻板印象)”funny. One character was a wman wh was sick whenever she saw a freigner.Anther was a lud and rude 15-year-ld girl cursing(骂)at her teachers.But back hme,British peple were laughing,thinking,“Yes!That’s exactly what we’re like!”
A laugh is a laugh in any language,but the reasns fr it can be very different.Britns and Americans speak the same language,but humr des nt always translate.
Take The Office as an example.This was riginally a UK TV series but it was changed fr the US.Bth the US and UK series are set in a bring wrkplace in a bring twn.But David Brent,the bss f the UK ffice,is nt a nice guy like Michael Sctt in the US versin. “We had t make Michael Sctt a slightly nicer guy,”wrte series creatr Ricky Gervais.“He culdn’t be t mean.”
Gervais said British peple are different frm Americans because“Britns cruelly make fun f peple we like r dislike…and f urselves”. He believes the differences between the American and British senses f humr are because f“ur upbringing”.
“Americans are brught up t believe they can be the next president f the United States,”he wrte.“Britns are tld,‘It wn’t happen fr yu’.”
Things usually turn ut fine at the end f every US Office episde(集). Even if they’re nt perfect, the characters “learn a lessn” fr the future.
But in David Brent’s ffice—and in lts f UK cmedies—the last scene is ften sad. Yu are ften left with the feeling that things just culdn’t get wrse. Fr British peple, this seems truer t life and s much funnier.
It’s nt just Britain and the US that have cmic differences. Few freigners wuld understand a Chinese crss-talk shw,fr example.
Cultural differences are n laughing matter. But cmic differences can be a windw int a culture.
46. What is the purpse f the first paragraph?
A. T shw that British humr is nt funny at all.
B. T shw that American peple dn't understand British peple.
C. T shw that Britain and America have different steretypes.

B. Michael Sctt is a rather mean guy.
C. Episdes in the UK versin ften end n a hpeless nte.

B. British cmedy ften has a mral message.
C. American peple are brught up t be mre psitive.
D. Jkes are difficult t translate frm ne language int anther.

Abut six years ag I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New Yrk City when a wman and a yung by sat dwn at the next table. I culdn’t help verhearing parts f their cnversatin. At ne pint the wman asked, “S, hw have yu been?” And the by --- wh culd nt have been mre than 7 r 8 years ld ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident(小事件) stuck in my mind because it cnfirmed(证实） my grwing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find ut we were “depressed” until we were in high schl.
The evidence f a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dn’t seem childlike anymre. Children speak mre like adults, dress mre like adults and behave mre like adults than they used t. Whether this is gd r bad is difficult t say, but it is certainly different. Children as they nce were n lnger exists. Why?
Human develpment is based nt nly n innate bilgical states, but als n patterns f access t scial knwledge. Mvement frm ne scial rute t anther usually invlves learning the secrets f the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slwly and in stages: traditinally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden frm fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, hwever, a secret-revelatin （揭示）machine has been installed in 98 percent f American hmes. It is called televisin. Televisin passes infrmatin indiscriminately t all viewers alike, be they children r adults. Unable t resist the temptatin, many children turn their attentin frm printed texts t the less challenging, mre vivid mving pictures.
Cmmunicatin thrugh print, as a matter f fact, allws fr a great deal f cntrl ver the scial infrmatin t which children have access. Reading and writing invlve a cmplex cde f symbls that must be memrized and practiced. Children must read simple bks befre they can read cmplex materials.
51. Accrding t the authr, feeling depressed is ________.
A. a sure sign f a mental prblem in children
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children
C. smething that can’t be avided in children’s mental develpment
D. smething hardly t be expected in a yung child
52. Traditinally, a child is suppsed t learn abut the adult wrld _________.
A. thrugh cnnectin with scietyB. gradually and under guidance(引导）
C. naturally withut being taughtD. thrugh watching televisin
53. Accrding t the authr, that tday’s children seem adultlike results frm __________.
A. the widespread influence f televisin
B. the pr arrangement f teaching cntent
C. the fast pace f human scientific develpment
D. the rising standard f living
54. What des the authr think f cmmunicatin thrugh print fr children?
A. It enables children t gain mre scial infrmatin
B. It develps children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children t read and write well.
D. It can cntrl what children are t learn.
55. What des the authr think f the change in tday’s children?
A. He feels their adultlike behavir is s funny
B. He thinks the change wrth ur attentin

One character was a wman wh was sick whenever she saw a freigner.Anther was a lud and rude 15-year-ld girl cursing(骂)at her teachers.But back hme,British peple were laughing,thinking,“Yes!That’s exactly what we’re like!”
A laugh is a laugh in any language,but the reasns fr it can be very different.Britns and Americans speak the same language,but humr des nt always translate.

Things usually turn ut fine at the end f every US Office episde(集). Even if they’re nt perfect, the characters “learn a lessn” fr the future.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英美两国的人对幽默的理解以及他们的文化差异，且以英国版和美国版的《办公室》电视剧为例，分析了英式戏剧和美式戏剧的差异，最后指出戏剧在一定程度上展示了文化差异。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Nbdy laughed when the UK cmedy shw Little Britain tured the US. Americans didn’t find the ‘British steretypes(刻板印象)’ funny. One character was a wman wh was sick whenever she saw a freigner. Anther was a lud and rude 15-year-ld girl cursing(骂)at her teachers. But back hme, British peple were laughing, thinking, ‘Yes! That’s exactly what we’re like!’”可知当英国喜剧节目《小英国人》在美国巡演时，没有人笑。美国人并不觉得“英国人的刻板印象”有趣。其中一个角色是一个看到外国人就生病的女人。另一个是一个吵闹粗鲁的15岁女孩诅咒她的老师。但在英国国内，英国人却在大笑，并在想，“是的！我们就是这样的人!”由此可推知，第一段的目的是说明在不同的文化中，幽默可能意味着不同的东西。故选D。
【47题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文中“We had t make Michael Sctt a slightly nicer guy”以及“He culdn’t be t…”可知Michael Sctt被人们塑造成一个有些友善人，即他不可能太不友好，由此可知，画线词意思为“不友好的”。A. Unkind.不友好的；B. Great.极好的；C. Average.平均的；D. Ugly-lking.模样丑陋的。故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“But in David Brent’s ffice—and in lts f UK cmedies—the last scene is ften sad.”可知但在David Brent的《办公室》里——以及在许多英国喜剧里——最后一幕往往是悲伤的。由此可知，C选项“英剧经常以悲剧方式结束”正确。故选C。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第五段中“Americans are brught up t believe they can be the next president f the United States…”可知美国人从小就被教育相信他们能成为美国的下一任总统……由此可推知，美国人从小被教育要积极。故选C。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But cmic differences can be a windw int a culture.”可知但喜剧差异可以成为了解一种文化的一扇窗户。由此可推知，作者认为喜剧差异在一定程度上展示了文化差异。故选B。
D
Abut six years ag I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New Yrk City when a wman and a yung by sat dwn at the next table. I culdn’t help verhearing parts f their cnversatin. At ne pint the wman asked, “S, hw have yu been?” And the by --- wh culd nt have been mre than 7 r 8 years ld ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident(小事件) stuck in my mind because it cnfirmed(证实） my grwing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find ut we were “depressed” until we were in high schl.
The evidence f a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dn’t seem childlike anymre. Children speak mre like adults, dress mre like adults and behave mre like adults than they used t. Whether this is gd r bad is difficult t say, but it is certainly different. Children as they nce were n lnger exists. Why?
Human develpment is based nt nly n innate bilgical states, but als n patterns f access t scial knwledge. Mvement frm ne scial rute t anther usually invlves learning the secrets f the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slwly and in stages: traditinally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden frm fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, hwever, a secret-revelatin （揭示）machine has been installed in 98 percent f American hmes. It is called televisin. Televisin passes infrmatin indiscriminately t all viewers alike, be they children r adults. Unable t resist the temptatin, many children turn their attentin frm printed texts t the less challenging, mre vivid mving pictures.
Cmmunicatin thrugh print, as a matter f fact, allws fr a great deal f cntrl ver the scial infrmatin t which children have access. Reading and writing invlve a cmplex cde f symbls that must be memrized and practiced. Children must read simple bks befre they can read cmplex materials.
51. Accrding t the authr, feeling depressed is ________.
A. a sure sign f a mental prblem in children
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children
C. smething that can’t be avided in children’s mental develpment
D. smething hardly t be expected in a yung child
52. Traditinally, a child is suppsed t learn abut the adult wrld _________.
A. thrugh cnnectin with scietyB. gradually and under guidance(引导）
C. naturally withut being taughtD. thrugh watching televisin
53. Accrding t the authr, that tday’s children seem adultlike results frm __________.
A. the widespread influence f televisin
B. the pr arrangement f teaching cntent
C. the fast pace f human scientific develpment
D. the rising standard f living
54. What des the authr think f cmmunicatin thrugh print fr children?
A. It enables children t gain mre scial infrmatin
B. It develps children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children t read and write well.
D. It can cntrl what children are t learn.
55. What des the authr think f the change in tday’s children?
A. He feels their adultlike behavir is s funny
B. He thinks the change wrth ur attentin
C. He cnsiders it a rapid develpment
D. He is extremely upset abut it
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. A 54. D 55. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者无意中听到一对母子的谈话证实了他的一个想法，那就是现在的孩子正在变得越来越成人化。作者认为电视节目无差别地给成人和孩子播放相同的节目，是导致孩子过早成人化的主要原因。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段的As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find ut we were “depressed” until we were in high schl.可知在作者记忆中他们是直到高中才体会到失落，故推测他认为那么小的孩子会感到失落是难以想象的。D. smething hardly t be expected in a yung child（在如此小的孩子身上很难想象的事情）符合以上说法，故选D项。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段的Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slwly and in stages: traditinally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden frm fifth graders.可知，老师在教给孩子成人知识的时候是有阶段的，循序渐进的。一般情况下教给六年级孩子的东西，不会教给五年级。B. gradually and under guidance(引导）（在引导下循序渐进）符合以上说法，故选B项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段的In the last 30 years, hwever, a secret-revelatin （揭示）machine has been installed in 98 percent f American hmes. It is called televisin. Televisin passes infrmatin indiscriminately t all viewers alike, be they children r adults.可知过去30年电视在美国家庭普及，它们无差别地给成人和孩子播放相同的节目，故推测电视是导致孩子过早成人化的主要原因。A. the widespread influence f televisin（电视的普及的影响）符合以上说法，故选A项。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的Cmmunicatin thrugh print, as a matter f fact, allws fr a great deal f cntrl ver the scial infrmatin t which children have access.可知通过印刷媒体来交流可以在很大程度上控制孩子所接触的社会信息。D. It can cntrl what children are t learn.（能够控制孩子所学的东西）符合以上说法，故选D项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段The evidence f a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dn’t seem childlike anymre. Children speak mre like adults, dress mre like adults and behave mre like adults than they used t. Whether this is gd r bad is difficult t say, but it is certainly different. Children as they nce were n lnger exists. Why? 可知近年孩子越来越成人化的证据越来越多，这个变化是好是坏很难说，但是孩子和从前不一样了这是十分确定的，这是为什么呢？根据这段话尤其是最后的“why”可以推测作者认为这种现象值得人们思考。B. He thinks the change wrth ur attentin（他认为这个改变值得思考）符合以上说法，故选B项。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述在作者11岁的时候，他的朋友Sydney因为脑癌去世，因此他15岁的时候和朋友成立PPD募捐活动，募集资金帮助寻找脑癌的治疗方法。PPD募捐活动得到公众的认可，并且为一些科学发现提供了启动资金，作者的经验告诉我们只要付出，就有可能改变世界。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“When I was 10, my friend Sydney suffered frm a brain cancer. Sydney fught against it, but the cancer did nt respnd t the treatment, and culd nt be remved. Sydney died at the age f 11. (在我10岁的时候，我的朋友Sydney患了脑癌。Sydney与癌症作了斗争，但是癌症对治疗没有反应，也不能切除。Sydney 11岁时就去世了。)”由此可知，Sydney在11岁时由于脑癌去世了。故答案为Sydney died at the age f 11.
57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Over the years, PPD had held fundraisers (募捐活动) acrss the city. The first Pink Plka Dts Guild event, a garage sale, just raised $900, but ur latest fundraiser, the 2012 glf turnament, brught in ver $73,000. In the past five years, we have raised almst a millin dllars t help d a research n remving brain cancer. (多年来，PPD在整个城市举办募捐活动。第一次PPD公会活动，一场车库甩卖，刚刚筹集了900美元，但我们最新的筹款活动，2012年的高尔夫锦标赛，筹集了超过73000美元。在过去的五年里，我们已经筹集了近一百万美元来帮助进行一项移除脑癌的研究。)”以及第五段“The effrts that we have made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has prvided start-up funding fr scientific discveries (我们所做的努力确实帮助了癌症研究。PPD为一些科学发现提供了启动资金)”可知，PPD活动旨在筹集资金帮助移除脑癌的研究。故答案为PPD aims t raise mney t help d a research n remving brain cancer.
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第二段“When I was 15 years ld, I funded the Pink Plka Dts Guild (PPD) with tw friends. My gal is t raise enugh mney t find a cure fr brain cancer, which is the secnd mst cmmn cancer in children. (当我15岁的时候，我和两个朋友一起创建了PPD。我的目标是筹集足够的资金来找到脑癌的治疗方法，脑癌是儿童中第二常见的癌症。)”再根据划线处后面的brain cancer，可知是找到治疗方法消除或者切除脑癌，所以推断remving意为“消除，移除，切除”。故答案为Cut ff.
【59题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第五段“The effrts that we have made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has prvided start-up funding fr scientific discveries, such as “Tumr Paint”, which illuminates (照射) cancerus cells s that dctrs can remve them with amazing accuracy. The discvery appeared in Time Magazine. I was very prud t have helped fund the research f this life-saving technlgy.

【60题详解】
考查推理判断。根据最后一段“Pink Plka Dts has inspired me t be an activist. My experience has taught me that with devtin, it is pssible t make a difference in the wrld.
