2019-2020年高三英语总复习第一部分回归教材Unit3AtasteofEnglishhumour课时作业新人教版必修.阅读理解(xx成都外国语学校高三模拟)Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is, not surprisingly, his sense of humor. As far as I can tell, hes the first American President to have one.Thats because the term “sense of humor” really wasnt in mon usage until the eighteensixties and seventies. In the eighteenforties and fifties, it was called “the sense of the ridiculous”， and didnt have the positive connotations(隐含意义)that “sense of humor” has today. Back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule(讥笑). Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand. Of course, they still do a lot of arminarm walking in our day as well.Lincolns humor was very different, because, for one thing, it was actually “humor”as what the word meant in his time. We dont make the distinction between “wit(风趣)” and “humor” anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did. Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic. Its the difference we note now when we distinguish between “laughing with” and “laughing at”. Lincoln was much more about “laughing with” than “laughing at”. And when “laughing at”， it was often himself he was teasing.In the famous LincolnDouglas debates, when Douglas accused Lincoln of being twofaced, Lincoln replied, referencing his plain looking, “Honestly, if I were twofaced, would I be showing you this_one？” And, in a way, Lincolns face itself tells us much about his sense of humor. You can b through thousands of photographs of politicians, soldiers, and the like from Lincolns time and not find a single smile. True, the long exposures(曝光)required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult. Yet Lincoln alone, as far as I can tell, overcame that difficulty.Interestingly, while having a sense of humor, or at least the appearance of one provided by edy writers has bee a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time, in the nineteenth century, too much humor was considered problem. And that was the case for Lincoln. A journalist covering the LincolnDouglas debates mented that “I could not take a real personal liking to the man, owing to an inborn weakness. that he was extremely fond of jokes, anecdotes and stories.”1We can infer from Paragraph 2 that _.Athe American President could influence the use of English Bthe term “sense of humor” wasnt invented until the 1860s Cwhat is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else Dthe concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time 2The underlined words “this one” in Paragraph 4 refer to “_”ALincolns unattractive face BLincolns sense of humor Cthe debate they were having Dcruelty that went with funniness 3We rarely see people from Lincolns time wear smile in their photos because _.Abeing humorous was considered inappropriate Bthey found it quite funny to smile before camera Cnot smiling for photographs was the fashion Dphotography technology then was not advanced 4What might the writer think of the journalist covering the LincolnDouglas debates?AHis ment accurately reflected his time. BHe created a false picture of Lincoln. CHe was prejudiced and selfcentered. DHe was brave to point out Lincolns weakness. 答案与解析本文主要介绍了林肯的幽默。1C段落大意题。根据第二段可推知，幽默对一些人来说是幽默，而对另外一些人来说可能就是冒犯。2A词义猜测题。根据第四段画线部分所在句和后面的“And，in a way，Lincolns face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.” 可知，画线词指的是林肯那张不吸引人的脸。故选A项。3D细节理解题。根据第六段中的“True, the long exposures (曝光) required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult.” 可知，是因为拍照技术不先进。故选D项。4A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段首句中的“in the nineteenth century, too much humor was considered a problem”可知，下面的例子是为了证明作者的这个观点，即那个记者的评论具有时代性。.七选五(xx安徽省马鞍山市第二中学模拟)TOP 4 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN FITNESSBrain fitness has basic principles: variety and curiosity.
