Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said, “The British are the only people who like
to be told how bad things are.” This is definitely (绝对地) true of British comedy. Most people think humor
is about happy things, but for the British, the opposite is true. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to
complain and be negative (消极的).
British comedy, for example, draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy (悲剧). BBC’s The Office
is a TV show, famous for its dry humor. The main character, David Brent, is a foolish man, and the show’s
comedy comes from his delusions . For example, he often tells himself that he is loved by everyone but the
viewer can see that everyone hates him.
Stupid characters for the audience to laugh at are an old tradition in Britain. In Shakespeare’s play
Twelfth Night, the character Malvolio is an old man whom people play tricks on. The audience will laugh
away, although the reality is that this man is a truly tragic individual (个体).
This side of British humor is reflected (反映) in friendships as well. At university, my friends and I
would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm (挖苦) quite
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂upsetting. She didn’t realize that in Britain, the better friends you are with someone, the more you laugh at
them.
This approach – laughing at everything – may sound rather depressing (让人郁闷的), but our strange
humor played a big part in British history. In World War II, along with a stiff upper lip (坚定沉着), the
British got through it by laughing. What else was there to do?
There is a saying in English: “Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone.” If you are
ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm, you may feel like crying, but it’s best to just laugh it off!
4. How is British comedy different from other types?
A. It is often surprising and boring.
B. It often laughs at human nature.
C. It is often about negative things.
D. It often makes people feel depressed.
5. What does the underlined word “delusions” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. strong abilities
B. fun characters
C. incorrect beliefs
D. deep confidence
6. Why is Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night mentioned in the article?
A. To show one of the best examples of British comedy.
B. To explain how Shakespeare’s comedy is different.
C. To show how difficult it is to make people accept British comedy.
D. To prove Britain has a long tradition of laughing at stupid characters.
7. How does the author advise people to react to British humor?
A. Learn from it.
B. Don’t take it seriously.
C. Reply sarcastically.
D. Be careful not to make stupid mistakes.
C
Being in the midst of a pandemic lockdown can make people feel worried. But nothing has
exemplified (例证) this panicky behavior more than hoarding (囤积), specifically toilet paper.
Seemingly transcending (超越) borders and cultures, people from all over the world, including the US,
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂UK and Japan, have been clearing supermarket shelves primarily for this necessity. But what’s the reason
for this sudden toilet paper fixation? You can understand panic buying food, but do we really need this
much toilet paper?
Steven Taylor, author of the book The Psychology of Pandemics, told the Independent that our toilet
paper hoarding is a product of our disgust. During a pandemic, people’s sensitivity (敏感) to disgust
increases, like when you flinch (躲避) if someone nearby sneezes (打喷嚏).
“Disgust is like an alarm mechanism (机制) … and what better tool for eliminating (消除) disgusting
material than toilet paper. I think this is how it became a conditioned symbol of safety,” he said.
Writing for The Conversation, Niki Edwards of The Queensland University of Technology said,
“When people hear about the novel coronavirus, they are afraid of losing control. And toilet paper feels like
a way to maintain control over hygiene (卫生) and cleanliness.”
Another one of the most prominent reasons behind this toilet paper trend, according to the BBC, is the
snowball effect. Due to its prominent coverage, both in the news and social media, people naturally ask,
“Will there be enough toilet paper for my family and me?” This invariably (一成不变地) leads to more
people following the crowd and buying toilet paper because of their fear of missing out.
“Fear is very contagious. So when those sorts of things go viral (走红), when you see people around
you buying things in a panicky way, it’s going to make you feel more anxious,” wrote American
psychologist Baruch Fischhoff for CNBC.
While there are, of course, selfish people who stockpile (囤积) just because they can, it’s
worth keeping things in perspective. Remember, just as countries are cooperating to find a vaccine, we
must cooperate to ensure that everyone has their share of necessities.
8. According to Steven Taylor, what does this toilet paper trend result from?
A. The desire to get rid of disgusting material.
B. The fear of losing control over cleanliness.
C. The frequent reporting on toilet paper.
D. The selfish side of human nature.
9. Whose words are quoted to explain “the snowball effect”?
A. Steven Taylor’s.
B. Niki Edwards’.
C. Baruch Fischhoff’s.
D. The author’s.

A. Following the crowd.
B. Reducing panic.
C. Being prepared for uncertainty.
D. Taking everything into consideration.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A. To explore the negative effects of the toilet paper hoarding.
B. To explain why people tend to stockpile toilet paper.
C. To criticize those people who hoard toilet paper.
D. To discuss people’s different attitudes toward the toilet paper hoarding.
D
For most of my life I knew nothing about motorcycles. I believed that motorcycle riders were tough,
leather-wearing (穿着皮衣的) loners. In my mind, they were the kind of people who were constantly
looking for trouble, using the roar of their motorcycle engines (发动机) to frighten others.
Then, on a warm May evening outside our house my boyfriend began to show me his new motorcycle.
It was the first time that it had ever been mentioned, and I was shocked.
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” he asked. I didn’t really understand what I was looking at.
It wasn’t until August that I was able to actually ride on the motorcycle with him. I prepared very well:
a new helmet (头盔) and slightly oversized leather jacket.
The first ride was tricky. I held on a little too tight (紧的) and breathed a little too infrequently. The
cars felt a little too close, and traffic seemed to move too fast. The evening ride was short. After that, the
bike carried us higher and higher into the hills. We pulled over and stopped to watch the sun set over the
city below. I swung (摆动) my leg over to get off the bike, slightly shaken and full of nervous energy.
Sometimes, when he left for his Saturday ride, I’d try on his leathers and look in the mirror, wondering
if I looked like a biker myself.
Since then, I’ve learned a few things and slowly my prejudices (偏见) about motorcycles and
motorcycle riders have started to shift. Sitting on the back of a motorcycle, placing all your trust in
someone to get you safely home is a way of reminding yourself that you love them.
Maybe the most important lesson, though, is that you really can’t judge a book by its cover – no matter
how much leather it wears. Motorcycle riders are not scary, mean, or unapproachable (不可接近的).
They’re adults who remember the freedom of riding their first bicycle, and are continuously seeking to
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂recreate that experience.
12. What did the author think of motorcycle riders at first?
A. They were losers in life.
B. They were troublesome.
C. They were very strong.
D. They were very social.
13. What do we learn about the author’s first ride?
A. She didn’t know how to equip herself.
B. She found it easy to handle the ride.
C. She enjoyed the scenery along the ride.
D. She finally overcame her nervousness.
14. What lesson did the author learn from her ride?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Don’t judge people by their appearance.
D. It takes courage to make a difference.
15. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To stress the importance of riding safety.
B. To encourage people to ride motorcycles.
C. To explain why the author wanted to be a motorcycle rider.
D. To share her riding experience and thoughts about it.

One of the best aspects of travel is discovery. Whether you’re immersing yourself in a brand new
culture or wandering (闲逛) the streets of a foreign city, you’re finding new things to see and experience.

What does Donald Trump's current 21 with Twitter have to do with coronavirus? The social
media company this week took the unprecedented step of 22 some of the president's tweets (推文) for
the first time ever.
First Twitter placed check notices against two of his tweets. Then it went one stage further, hiding one
of his posts, which appeared to 23 the military to use 24 against protesters in Minneapolis. That
tweet, said the company, violated (违反) its rules on beautifying violence.

have to rally their supporters and to raise money mainly 29 , which will be expected in the next few
months of the general election campaign. Such a situation will put platforms like Facebook and Twitter
more in the 30 even than they were in 2016.

certain ways. Republicans are 32 to talk a lot about the seemingly anti-conservative bias (反保守主
意偏见) being shown by Twitter and Google. 33 , Democrats are going to be putting pressure on
Facebook and Twitter to do more to check some of the more 34 content coming from Mr Trump and
his supporters.
And one thing is for certain that without another 35 for his energy, the president are expected to
pick a lot more Twitter fights. (279)
