导读：英国人的幽默用看似轻描淡写的几句话，让全场会心一笑，事后还能不断回味。笑，并非许多中国人所想的那样，只是人生一瞬，只是逗个乐子，而是隽永的，多角度的，能够弥漫整个社会的一种精神，一种生活，一种享受。你了解英国人的幽默吗？FunseemstobethepossessionoftheEnglishrace.FunisJohnBull'sideaofhumor,andthereisnointellectualjudgmentinfun.Everybodyunderstandsitbecauseitispractical.Morethanthat,itunitesallclassesandsweetensevenpoliticallife.TostudytheelementalformofEnglishhumor,youmustlooktotheschool－book.Itbeginswiththepracticaljoke,andunlessthereissomethingofhisnatureaboutit,itisneverhumortoanEnglishman.InanEnglishhousehold,funisgoingallthetime.Theentirehouseresoundswithit.Thefathercomeshomeandthewholefamilycontributetotheamusement;puns,humoroususesofwords,littlethingsthataremeaninglessnonsense,ifyoulike,flyround,andeveryoneenjoysthemthoroughlyforjustwhattheyare.TheScotcharedevoidofthistrait,andtheAmericansseemtobe,too.—ExcerptfromScottishHumorbyJohnWatson1.Whateverdifficultywehave,weshouldtryto__________(克服)it.2.Ihavefoundhisclassesbothinformativeand__________(趣味性).3.Thedictionaryis__________(particular)usefulforbeginners.4.Thereisnow__________(令人信服的)evidencethatsmokingcauseslungcancer.5.Hewas__________(大吃一惊)tohearthathehadgotthejob.6.Soonnewsspreadt__________thecountry.7.Successcameaftermanyf__________.8.I'vebeenf__________tohavesomanygoodteachers.9.Hewasgivenarewardforhiso__________work.10.Tomisjobless,pennilessandh__________.1.overcome2.entertaining3.particularly4.convincing5.astonished6.throughout7.failures8.fortunate9.outstanding10.homeless请根据语义写出短语1.__________tonow直到现在2.feel/be__________with对……满足3.__________off穷的；缺少的4.__________out挑选出；辨认出5.__________off切断；断绝6.__________in担任主角；主演7.__________achievements突出的成就8.a__________ofhumour幽默感9.in__________特别；尤其是10.insearch__________寻找；寻求11.bebornin__________出身贫寒12.be__________in以……为背景13.go__________野营1.up2.content3.badly4.pick5.cut6.star7.outstanding8.sense9.particular10.of11.poverty12.set13.camping1.Hemadepeoplelaughatatimewhentheyfeltdepressed,sotheycouldfeelmorecontentwiththeirlives.(P18)2.Noonewaseverboredwatchinghim—hissubtleactingmadeeverythingentertaining.(P18)3.Insteadtheyarehidinginasmallhutontheedgeofamountainduringasnowstormwithnothingtoeat.(P18)①contentn．&adj.根据语境猜词义(1)Heiscontentdespitehisgreatpoverty.(2)Canyoutellmethecontentofthebox?(3)Heisalwayscontenttohelpothers.根据语义找匹配A.感到满足的B.愿意，乐意C.所含之物(1)A(2)C(3)B①contentn．&adj.短语be/feelcontentwith对……感到满足、对……满意becontenttodosth.愿意做某事、乐意做某事toone'sheart'scontent尽情地；心满意足地①contentn．&adj.单项填空()Wesatthere,______withwhatwelistenedto.A.satisfyingB.tosatisfyC.contentedD.contentD本题考查动词用法。satisfied表示“感到满意的”，把A、B两项排除；content既是形容词，又是动词，becontentwith对……满足。①contentn．&adj.根据语境猜词义(1)WenChuanEarthquakeastonishedthewholecountry.(2)Weareallgreatlyastonishedthatshehasfailed.②astonishvt.根据语义找匹配A.感到惊讶的B.震惊(1)B(2)A②astonishvt.链接astonishingadj.令人惊讶的(指事物本身的特征)astonishedadj.感到惊讶的(指人的主观感受)astonishmentn.惊讶近义词：amaze，astound，surprise，shock②astonishvt.短语beastonishedat/bysth.因/被某事感到惊讶beastonishedtodosth.对做某事感到惊讶beastonishedthat对……感到惊讶toone'sastonishment让某人惊讶的是……inastonishment惊讶地句型Itastonishessb.that令某人惊讶的是②astonishvt.单项填空()(1)Itisbelievedthatifareportis______，itwillcertainly______thereadersofthepaper.A.astonished;astonishedB.astonished;astonishC.astonishing;astonishD.astonish;astonishC考查astonished和astonishing的区别。根据语境：报告应该是“令人震惊的”，所以选C。②astonishvt.()(2)Toour______，hewasn't______atthe______newsatall.A.astonishment;astonish;astonishedB.astonishment;astonished;astonishingC.astonish;astonished;astonishingD.astonishment;astonishing;astonishedBtoone's＋名词，所以排除C。其后考查其形容词用法，由于第二个空不能加“令人……”，第三个空则可以，所以答案是B。②astonishvt.③directv．&adj.根据语境猜词义(1)Experiencedusershavedirectaccesstothemaindatafiles.(2)Mr.Turnerwasdirectingtheinvestigationfromaveryearlystage.(3)Shehasadirect_wayofspeaking.(4)CouldyoudirectmetoTrafalgarSquare,Please?根据语义找匹配A.负责B.直率的C.直接的D.给……指路(1)C(2)A(3)B(4)D③directv．&adj.链接directadj.径直的，直接的，直率的；adv.中途不停地；径直地；直接地；vt.指导；命令directlyadv.恰好地，坦率地；立刻，马上；conj.一……就……directionn.方向，指导，指示，说明书(用复数)directorn.导演，指导者，负责人，局长，主任，理事③directv．&adj.短语direct…at/towardssb./sth.把……指向某人/事directsb.toaplace指引某人到某处directsb.todosth.指示/命令某人做某事inthedirectionof向……的方向inalldirections朝四面八方ineverydirection朝四面八方underthedirectionof在……的指导下③directv．&adj.句型direct(that)＋sb./sth.＋(should)do/bedone指示/命令某人/事做/被做……③directv．&adj.辨析direct/directlydirectadv.用于具体意义，表示“不拐弯，不绕圈子”。强调行程中不停顿、不绕道及没有其他的间接活动。Afterschool,studentsshouldgodirectbackhome.directlyadv.多用于抽象意义上的“直接地，直率地”与“间接地”相对应。它还指时间上的“立刻、马上”。③directv．&adj.单词拼写(1)Hedrove______(径直地)toschoolinordernottobelateforclass.(2)Canyoutellme______(直接地)whetherhewillhelpus?(3)Underthe______(指导下)ofourteachers,wehavesucceededindesigningthenewcampus.(4)______(一……就……)theteacherentered,thestudentsstoppedtalking.③directv．&adj.(1)direct(2)directly(3)Direction(4)Directly③directv．&adj.单项填空()(5)Thesinginggroupis______thedirectionofagoodteacher.A.withB.inC.underD.byC根据语境表示“在……的指导下”，所以使用underthedirectionof。③directv．&adj.()(6)Theboyburstintotears______hesawhismother.A.directB.directionC.directlyD.directlywhenCdirect。作动词时表示“导演；指示”；作副词时表示“径直地；直接地”，作形容词时是“直接的”；而directly表示“一……就……”，相当于as
