1、 Unit 3 A taste of English humour 閱讀理解 A My doorbell rings at 11 a．m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands. I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last O

2、ctober.Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals. I know what is inside the paper carrier bag—a stainless steel container with a meal of rice, vegetable

3、s and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence. Communication between my benefactor(恩人) and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which di

4、splayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right. “Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time，” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her，”I s

5、aid. “Oh, no，” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.” The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that

6、 Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain. So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag, handed smiling

7、ly to me by Wing. Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness. “Thank you” is, of course, the first one, which somehow seems inadequate. 【解題導語】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者與鄰居之間的故事，鄰居是一位來自中國的老太太，對作者非常關照。 1. The author and Wing got to know each

8、other________． A．as next door neighbors B．when exchanging meals C．by sharing similar experiences D．after using an iPad to communicate A　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段的前三句“I know this lady...Her daughter，Nicole，bought the house next door last October.”可知，作者與這位老太太是鄰居。所以A項正確。 2．The underlined word “reciprocate”

9、in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”． A．do as well　　　　　　　 B．offer generously C．give in return D．accept with pleasure C　解析：詞義猜測題。根據第五段第一句中的“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time”可知作者認為老太太一直對自己那么好，而自己只是做一些本國的食物，是幾乎不能回報她的。C項意為“回報”，故選C。 3．The author’s effort to lea

10、rn Mandarin shows her________． A．great satisfaction B．real kindness C．heartfelt thanks D．sincere friendship C　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據倒數第二段中的“it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness”可知作者認為學習中文是為了感謝老太太對自己的好。A項意為“極大的滿意”；B項意為“真正的友善”；C項意為“衷心的感謝”；D項意為“真誠的友誼”。 B In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(

11、法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off. Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up so

12、me peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, a bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter an

13、d sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile. Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting! It’s not

14、 the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(傳遞). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising his patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an emp

15、loyee he fails to get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver. Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t r

16、eady yet? When you had your heart set on the toasted beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces. Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would hav

17、e appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh，that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轟炸的) person is sure to hav

B．From the passage we know that it is the bad news that makes someone angry. C．If the runner brought to the pharaoh unhappy news, he would be treated like

D　解析：推理判斷題。根據第四段中的“Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.”可知，當告訴別人不好的消息的時候，應該帶有同情心，應該分擔消息接收者不好的感覺。 6．What is the main idea of the text? A．Receivi

21、ng bad news requires great courage. B．Helping others sincerely is the key to business success. C．Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication.

22、n, his neighbor was________． A．not helpful　　　　 B．not considerate C．friendly D．warm-hearted B　解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning.”可知，“我”認為鄰居沒有同情心，不能為別人考慮。故選B項。 完形填空 From childhood，Moira loved to write. Throug
