Section Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 Prereading原文呈現(xiàn)讀文清障Text 1Mr Bean is an internationally recognised comedy character on TV and in films. He constantly gets into awkward and absurd situations, which greatly amuses audiences regardless of their nationality or culture. The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language, which is universal.One of my favourite shows has Mr Bean in a fancy restaurant. After being seated at his table, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals it in an envelope and places it on the table. After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there. He opens it to find a birthday card and delightedly puts it on the table for everyone to see.,recognised adj.公認(rèn)的comedy/kmIdi/n.喜劇comedian/kmidin/n.喜劇演員constantly adv.重復(fù)不斷地，一直awkward adj.令人尷尬的，令人難堪的absurd adj.荒唐的amuse v逗笑，逗樂regardless of不管，不顧a series of一系列的series單復(fù)數(shù)同形。purely/pjli/adv.完全地，僅僅rely on (count on)依賴，依靠universal/junIvsl/adj.通用的，普遍的；全世界的After being seated .為介詞短語作狀語。seat vt.(使)坐下，使就座常用seat oneself或be seated形式。seal/sil/vt.封，密封as if(as though)好像，引導(dǎo)方式狀語從句。如果從句內(nèi)容與客觀事實(shí)不符，常用一般過去時(shí)或過去完成時(shí)表示虛擬語氣。to find .為不定式短語作結(jié)果狀語。delightedly adv.愉快地，高興地delighted adj.愉快的，高興的delight nC令人高興的事；U高興課文1第12段譯文憨豆先生是國(guó)際上公認(rèn)的電視和電影界喜劇角色。他不斷陷入尷尬而又荒唐的情景中，給任何國(guó)籍或文化背景的觀眾都帶來了極大的樂趣。這種幽默總是通過一系列簡(jiǎn)單而可笑的、人人都能看得懂的純粹的肢體語言動(dòng)作讓觀眾理解。我最喜愛的情節(jié)之一是憨豆先生在一家豪華餐廳的表現(xiàn)。在餐桌就座后，憨豆先生拿出一張卡片，在上面寫了幾個(gè)字，然后將卡片封入信封，放在桌上。過了一會(huì)兒，他回頭看了看信封。他看起來很驚奇，好像不知道信封本來就在那里一樣。他打開信封，發(fā)現(xiàn)一張生日卡片，于是高興地將生日卡片擺在桌上使每個(gè)人都看到。When he looks at the menu, an astonished look swiftly appears on his face. He takes all the money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer. He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile. Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”. When the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. He makes an attempt to eat it， but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting. He cannot hide his feelings, except when the waiters ask if everything is all right. When this happens, he smiles and nods, indicating that everything is fine. astonished adj.感到十分驚訝，吃驚(在此修飾人的表情)astonishing adj.令人十分驚訝的astonish/stnI/vt.使驚訝，使驚駭swiftly adv.迅速地，立刻地saucer/ss/n.茶托，茶杯碟with concern關(guān)切地，關(guān)心地，憂心忡忡地order此處表示“點(diǎn)(酒菜等)”。called . 為過去分詞短語作定語。steak tartare/steIktt/韃靼牛肉末raw/r/adj.生的，未煮過的make an attempt to do sth.試圖做某事It is clear that .“明顯的是”，it為形式主語。此處為“find賓語賓補(bǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)”。disgusting/dIsgstI/adj.厭惡的disgusted adj.厭惡的，憎恨的except when除了時(shí)候現(xiàn)在分詞短語作伴隨狀語。When the waiters are not looking, however, he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, inside a bun and under a plate.

In Britain, Mr Atkinson is quite famous for many other wonderful characters that he has created but internationally, he is best known for the dizzy， awkward, clumsy， but always amusing Mr Bean. If you think that Rowan Atkinson is anything like his famous creation, then you are in for a surprise.Rowan was born on January 6, 1955, and spent his early years on the family farm with his mother, three older brothers and his strict father, who did not believe in the value of television. For a time, he attended the same school as Tony Blair, who was two years older than him. At 13, Rowan earned a scholarship to a boarding school. Later, he studied at Newcastle University where he had the highest marks in his year. At Oxford, he obtained his Masters degree in electrical engineering. This might explain his interest in fast cars, of which he has a vast collection.be famous for .因而出名be well known for .因而出名be famous/well known as作為而出名dizzy adj.愚蠢的；頭昏眼花的clumsy adj.笨拙的，不靈活的amusing adj.令人發(fā)笑的anything like有點(diǎn)兒像be in for肯定會(huì)經(jīng)歷，注定要遭受go in for參加，從事，對(duì)感興趣believe in相信，信任，信賴attend v定期去(學(xué)校、教堂等)；出席，參加attendance n出席，參加the same . as .跟一樣scholarship n獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，后接介詞to。boarding school寄宿學(xué)校boarding fees寄宿費(fèi)用boarding house提供膳宿的私人住宅where引導(dǎo)定語從句obtain/bteIn/vt.得到，獲得obtain ones degree in在專業(yè)獲得學(xué)位Master碩士Doctor博士Bachelor學(xué)士electrical engineering電力工程學(xué)“介詞關(guān)系代詞”引導(dǎo)定語從句。課文2第12段譯文羅恩阿特金森是扮演憨豆先生的演員。在英國(guó)，阿特金森先生因?yàn)樗茉斓脑S多其他精彩的角色而非常出名。但是在國(guó)際上，他還是以頭腦簡(jiǎn)單、愚蠢又笨拙、但總能使人發(fā)笑的憨豆先生最為知名。你如果認(rèn)為羅恩阿特金森本人與他塑造的著名角色類似的話，肯定會(huì)大吃一驚了。羅恩出生于1955年1月6日。他的早年是與他嚴(yán)厲的父親、母親和3個(gè)哥哥一起在家庭農(nóng)場(chǎng)上度過的。他嚴(yán)厲的父親不相信電視的價(jià)值。有一段時(shí)間，他與托尼布萊爾上同一所學(xué)校，布萊爾比他大兩歲。羅恩13歲時(shí)獲得了一所寄宿學(xué)校的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。后來，他在紐卡斯?fàn)柎髮W(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，并獲得同級(jí)的最高分?jǐn)?shù)。在牛津大學(xué)，他獲得了電力工程學(xué)碩士學(xué)位。這也許能夠解釋他對(duì)跑車的興趣，羅恩收集了很多跑車。Rowans career change from an electrical engineer to a famous comedian was partly due to some speaking problems he had in his childhood. He compensated for this by talking very deliberately. This may have inspired the abnormal speech patterns of many of his characters.While still at primary school, Rowan had already shown admirable acting talent. Although his teachers predicted a career in acting, Rowan was not convinced himself, until he met a group of talented people at university, who were involved in theatre, and he realised this could be a career for him. Another key event occurred when, one day in 1976, he was playing around and pulling faces in the mirror. He realised something. “I discovered my face，” he said later. John Lloyd, who worked for the BBC, says, “It was one of those things which happen very rarely in your life, when you realise you are in the presence of genius. I was convinced he would be more famous than Chaplin.”partly/ptli/adv.部分地due to由于，因?yàn)閔e had in his childhood為定語從句。compensate/kmpnseIt/vt.補(bǔ)償，賠償compensate for彌補(bǔ)；抵消deliberately adv.從容不迫地；故意地inspire v激勵(lì)；促成inspire sb. to do sth.激勵(lì)某人做某事admirable adj.值得贊賞的predict v預(yù)言，預(yù)測(cè)convince/knvIns/vt.使相信使某人相信be involved in參與，從事play around四處游戲pull faces做鬼臉rarely/reli/adv.很少，難得presence/prezns/n.存在；到場(chǎng)，出席in the presence of sb.在某人面前，有某人在場(chǎng)in the presence of sth.存在的情況，有的存在genius/dinis/n.天才be convinced (that) .相信，確信第34段譯文羅恩從電力工程師到著名喜劇演員的事業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)變，部分是由于他童年時(shí)的一些說話障礙。他用從容不迫的講話方式來彌補(bǔ)這一點(diǎn)。這可能為他許多角色的不同尋常的說話方式奠定了基礎(chǔ)。還在上小學(xué)時(shí)，羅恩就已經(jīng)表現(xiàn)出令人贊嘆的表演天分。雖然他的老師預(yù)言他將來從事表演事業(yè)，但是羅恩自己并不相信，直到在大學(xué)遇到一群從事戲劇工作的天才人物，他才意識(shí)到表演可能成為他的事業(yè)。另一重要事件發(fā)生在1976年的一天，那天他無所事事，就對(duì)著鏡子做鬼臉。他意識(shí)到了什么。后來他說：“我發(fā)現(xiàn)了我的面孔?！睘锽BC工作的約翰勞埃德說：“這是你生活中很少發(fā)生的事情之一，這時(shí)你意識(shí)到你正面對(duì)著天才。我當(dāng)時(shí)就確信他將比卓別林更加著名?！?PrereadingPlease match the words with their proper meanings.1resistAto accept that sth.is true2figure Bready to do anything regardless of danger3acknowledge Cto cause great surprise in sb.4scold Da person of the type mentioned5forbid Eto refuse to accept sth.and try to stop it from happening6desperate Fto get sth., especially by making an effort7astonish Gto some extent; not completely8obtain Hto make sb. feel certain9partly Ito speak angrily to sb.especially a child, because they have done sth. wrong10convince Jto order sb.not to do sth.; to order that sth.must not be done15_610_答案：15EDAIJ610BCFGHLeadinDo you know the man in the picture?

What can I do？” The operator says, “Dont worry.First, make sure hes dead.” There is a silence.Then a shot is heard.Bang! The hunters voice comes back on the line: “OK, now what？” This is perhaps slightly amusing.Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent.But perhaps this is not so all over the world.Its quite a “black” joke.The experts also found the second funniest joke: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson go on a camping trip.After dinner, they go to sleep.Some hours later, Holmes wakes up.“Watson, what do you see？” “Millions of stars，” replies Watson.“And what do you infer from that？” “Well, there are billions of planets .We are a small part of the universe .We will have a beautiful day tomorrow . ”“Watson, you idiot (笨蛋)! Someone has stolen our tent！”I personally think this is better.Understanding this joke, however, depends on us knowing who Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are. It has an unexpected ending something that is very important and necessary for most jokes.Surprise can be funny.Whats funny on the Earth? Scientists are excellent at studying complicated (復(fù)雜的) things.Some things are much too complicated, even for the most intelligent thought.語篇解讀：本文是說明文。什么笑話最好呢？本文作者舉了兩個(gè)例子來說明影響理解笑話的因素。1.It is difficult to find the funniest joke in the world because _.Athere are too many jokes to choose fromBthose experts cannot agree with each otherCpeople across the world create new jokes every dayDpeoples standards of what is funny are not the same解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段可知，要想找到世界上最好笑的笑話很難，這是因?yàn)槿藗儗?duì)此的評(píng)判標(biāo)準(zhǔn)不一樣。2In the authors opinion, the first joke _.Ais really funny and amusingBis not as funny as those experts thoughtCshows peoples wrong understanding of huntersDtells readers never to look down on brave hunters解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知，作者認(rèn)為這個(gè)笑話只是略微好笑，而第二段中提到專家們將這個(gè)笑話選為世界上最好笑的笑話。由此可推知，作者認(rèn)為這個(gè)笑話沒有專家們認(rèn)為的那么好笑。3Which of the following influences the understanding of a joke most?AThe readers mood.BThe readers cultural background.CThe characters style of language.DThe number of funny points in the joke.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句和倒數(shù)第二段第二句可知，讀者的文化背景是理解笑話的最重要的因素。4In most cases, the completely necessary point of a joke is _.Aa result beyond expectationBthe mention of great peopleCextremely funny behaviorDthe use of special phrases解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第三句可知，出乎意料的結(jié)尾對(duì)大多數(shù)笑話來說是必不可少的。BKuringai Chase National Park Guided Walks and Nature ActivitiesSUNDAY MAY 7 EASYEarly Morning Walk in Upper Lane Cove ValleyMeet at 7：30 am at the end of Day Rd, Cheltenham while the bush is alive with birdsong.Round trip: 4 hoursFRIDAY MAY 12 MEDIUMPossum ProwlMeet at 7：30 pm in Seaforth Oval car park.Enjoy the peace of the bush at night.Lovely water views.Bring a torch (手電筒) and wear sports shoes as some rock climbing involved.Coffee and biscuits supplied.Duration (持續(xù)時(shí)間): 2 hoursSUNDAY JUNE 4 HARDBairne/Basin TrackMeet at 9：30 am on Track #8, West Head Road.

Do popular science TV shows cover too little science to be correct? Scientists have a lot to thank Professor Brian Cox and Sir David Attenborough for.The two most outstanding science broadcasters of the moment have attracted a wide audience to their shows.Back in late March, Stargazing Live returned with special broadcasts from Australia attracting over 1.5 million viewers the top rated show of the day on BBC 2.In 2016 Planet Earth was the Radio Times Critics 8th best show of the year, and was more watc
