Unit 3 A taste of English humour李仕才*閱讀理解。What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shops scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brands success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar shops(實體店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now, a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the stores windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.1.

The 15yearold from Oakland has fascinated audiences in the US and China with his ability _2_ (sing) pitchperfect Mandarin (普通話) and perform the ancient Chinese art form. The teen,_3_ is black and only speaks some basic Chinese, has been praised by teachers since he _4_ (pick) up the music as a kindergartener. “As soon as he opens _5_ (he) mouth and sings in Chinese, the Chinese are very surprised and they feel very proud of him，” said his music teacher. “When he puts on the costume and all the acting, you can see that he is pretty good.” Tyler has learned to sing several wellknown pieces of Peking opera, a centuriesold form of musical theater _6_ (know) for its highly structured costumes, changing gongs (鑼) and cymbals (鈸), wideranging voices and highly stylized _7_ (move). Tyler got _8_ (stand) cheers when he performed _9_ Justice Bao, a famous Song Dynasty judge who fought corruption, from the Chinese classic BaoQing Tian. “The music is very beautiful, and its very passionate，” said Tyler. “Its made me _10_ (want) to know more about the world outside of America or California or Oakland.”1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一個擅長表演京劇的外國青少年的故事。1an考查冠詞。star是可數(shù)名詞，且第一次在文章中出現(xiàn)，故用不定冠詞修飾，表泛指；形容詞unlikely的讀音以元音音素開頭，故用an。2to sing考查非謂語動詞。ability to do sth. “做某事的能力”，為固定搭配，故用不定式作后置定語。3who考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。所填關(guān)系詞引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞The teen，且關(guān)系詞在從句中作主語，故填關(guān)系代詞who。4picked考查動詞的時態(tài)。since意為“自從”，引導(dǎo)狀語從句，從句常用一般過去時，主句用現(xiàn)在完成時。5his考查代詞。根據(jù)語境mouth和主語he可知，此處應(yīng)用形容詞性物主代詞his修飾名詞mouth，在句子中作定語。6known考查非謂語動詞。know和句子謂語之間沒有連詞，故用非謂語動詞，且know和其邏輯主語Peking opera是動賓關(guān)系，故用過去分詞作后置定語。7movements考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)and可知，此處與名詞voices呼應(yīng)，應(yīng)用所給詞的名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式，即movements。8standing考查形容詞。由空后的名詞cheers可知，此處應(yīng)用形容詞修飾名詞，standing意為“站著進(jìn)行的”，表示Tyler得到了(觀眾的)起立歡呼。9as考查介詞。此處as意為“作為”，后跟名詞、代詞或動名詞，與performed呼應(yīng)，表示扮演的角色，符合語境。10want考查非謂語動詞。make sb. do sth. “讓某人做某事”，應(yīng)用不帶to的不定式作賓語補(bǔ)足語，故填want。*完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項。I worried about my personal image and how I could be remembered during my boyhood.In the fifth grade，there seemed to be only one _1_ to be cool.In the sixth grade，suddenly，there were two choices：be cool，or be invisible._2_ ，one day，when a teacher had us fill out a questionnaire with _3_ questions，I found the _4_ option.Assuming(假定)the teacher would read our answers privately，I felt it was _5_ to share my privacy.To my _6_ ，she collected and redistributed(重新分發(fā))them to us.We were asked to _7_ the name and our three favorite answers to the whole class.My answers went to the meanest boy in class.The first question was“Whats your favorite movie？” My answer was Beauty and the Beast.A laugh erupted and my cheeks _8_.The next was“Where would you like to travel？” My answer was _9_ special“Wherever a book takes me.”The _10_ this time had an explosive quality.I could _11_ remember what happened next；all that I had in mind was the laughter.But something amazing happened.A(n) _12_ came，“Guys，cut it out.”The room went _13_ .Its Michelle Siever，a popular and cool girl.Then she _14_ ，“Why are you laughing? What is the point of _15_ if we just laugh at others？”I cant remember the teacher or other kids names，but I remember Michelles.When she _16_ for me that day，she _17_ me we actually have three choices if we want to be remembered.Be cool，and you might be remembered _18_.Stay invisible，and you wont be remembered at all.But if you stand up _19_ someone when he or she _20_ you most，then you will be remembered as their hero for the rest of their life.1A.toolBchoiceCchance Dpurpose2A.However BIn additionCTherefore DIn fact3A.personal BfunnyCvarious Dstrange4A.wrong BformerCthird Dlatter5A.terrible BsafeCnervous Dinteresting6A.surprise BanxietyCdelight Dexpectation7A.repeat BrememberCcompare Dread8A.ached BpaledCchanged Dburned9A.even BstillCnever Dalways10A.laughter BquestionCair Dclass11A.nearly BexactlyChardly Dsurely12A.request BmessageCorder Dvoice13A.crazy BsilentCangry Dempty14A.announced BsmiledCadded Dstopped15A.talking BchattingCarguing Dsharing16A.talked about Bcalmed downCleft behind Dspoke up17A.reminded BpromisedCshowed Dpersuaded18A.for a while BfinallyCagain and again Dhopefully19A.before BwithCfor Dby20A.misses BneedsCvalues Dloves【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文。在老師組織的全班問卷調(diào)查活動中，“我”的回答引起全班同學(xué)哄堂大笑，這時一個女生站起來幫助“我”走出困境。同時，“我”明白了一個道理：在別人需要你的時候站出來會被別人永遠(yuǎn)記住?！竞诵脑~匯】image n印象，形象invisible adj.無形的，看不見的fill out填寫cut out阻擋，刪除，住口1B根據(jù)空后一句中的“In the sixth grade, suddenly, there were two choices”可知，此處表示，在五年級，似乎只有唯一的選擇(choice)來讓別人記住自己裝酷。2A根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，老師讓同學(xué)們填調(diào)查問卷這件事使“我”改變了原先的看法，故前后為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以選A。3A根據(jù)下文中的“share my privacy”可推知，此處表示老師要求回答的是我們的私人(personal)問題。所以選A。4C根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知，到六年級，“我”突然認(rèn)為被別人記住有兩個選擇，但是通過老師讓同學(xué)們填調(diào)查問卷這件事，“我”發(fā)現(xiàn)了第三種選擇。所以選C。5B根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知，假如老師私下閱讀我們的回答，“我”就感覺分享的隱私是安全的(safe)。所以選B。6A根據(jù)上下文可知，老師沒有私下閱讀我們的回答而是重新分發(fā)，讓同學(xué)之間互讀，這種做法讓“我”感到吃驚。所以選A。7D參見上題解析。8D根據(jù)空前的“A laugh erupted”及常識可知，“我”對第一個問題的回答引起了同學(xué)們的大笑，由此可知，“我”當(dāng)時面頰發(fā)燙(burned)。選項D符合語境。9B根據(jù)下文中的“this time had an explosive quality”可知，“我”對第二個問題的回答仍然(still)是特別的，因此這一次笑聲(laughter)更加強(qiáng)烈。still“仍然，還是”，符合語境。10A參見上題解析。11C根據(jù)空后的“all that I had in mind was the laughter”可知，此處指“我”幾乎不能(hardly)記得后面發(fā)生了什么，所以選C。12D根據(jù)下文中的“Guys, cut it out”可知，Michelle Siever的聲音(voice)傳來，所以選D。13B根據(jù)上下文可知，這個聲音使整個房間安靜(silent)了下來。14C根據(jù)空后的兩個問句可知，Michelle Siever繼續(xù)在說，即補(bǔ)充道(added)。15D根據(jù)全文的內(nèi)容，尤其是老師要求我們填調(diào)查問卷然后交換并在全班朗讀這一活動過程可知，這是同學(xué)們之間的一次交流分享(share)活動。所以選D。16D根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知，“我”對兩個問題的回答引起全班的大笑，這時Michelle Siever的話使全班安靜下來，據(jù)此可推斷她在替“我”辯護(hù)。所以選D。 speak up(for sb./sth.)“(尤指為)說好話，辯護(hù)”。17C她替“我”辯護(hù)這件事向“我”展示(showed)了如果想要被人們記住，我們有三種選擇。所以選C。18A通過這件事，“我”知道裝酷只能被別人記住一時(for a while)。所以選A。19C根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知，“我”之所以能夠擺脫困境是因為Michelle Siever為“我”辯護(hù)。所以“我”總結(jié)出想要被別人記住的第三種選擇是：當(dāng)人們需要(needs)你時，你站出來為(for)他們說話，這樣你就會被他們當(dāng)做英雄一樣被銘記一生。所以選C。20B參見上題解析。*短文改錯。As the saying goes, chance favored the prepared mind. I learned this from one of my experience.I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school. Because of this, I decided to give up play volleyball. Luckily, my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure. After that, I practiced playing volleyball on every day. When another chance of trying out arrived, I was full prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team. From this, I am firmly convincing that we are able to seize a chance as long as I get well prepared.答案：As the saying goes, chance the prepared mind.

When another chance of trying out arrived, I was prepared and tried my best. As a result, I was selected and became an important player on our school team. From this, I am firmly that we are able to seize a chance as long as get well prepared.難項分析：第五處：butand考查連詞。本句中，“stopped”和“pointed out”共同作句子的謂語，為并列關(guān)系，故改but為and。第六處：whichthat考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。本句中賓語從句為強(qiáng)調(diào)句，被強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分是my laziness and poor preparation；強(qiáng)調(diào)句型的結(jié)構(gòu)為It is/was . that/who .，故改which為that。第九處：convincingconvinced考查形容詞。convinced表示人“信服的”；convincing表示事物“令人信服的”。此處構(gòu)成“Sb. be firmly convinced that從句”句型，意為“某人堅信”，故改convincing為convinced。* 6EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F375
