　　Ⅱ. 阅读理解

　　(2024·南京模拟)

　　Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is, not surprisingly, his sense of humor. As far as I can tell, he’s the first American President to have one.

　　That’s because the term “sense of humor” really wasn’t in common usage until the eighteen sixties and seventies. In the eighteen forties and fifties, it was called “the sense of the ridiculous”, and didn’t 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 arm-in-arm walking in our day as well.

　　Lincoln’s humor was very different because, for one thing, it was actually “humor” as what the word meant in his time. We don’t 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. It’s 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 Lincoln-Douglas debate, when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced, Lincoln replied, referencing his plain looking, “Honestly, if I were two-faced, would I be showing you this one? ”And, in a way, Lincoln’s face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.

　　You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians, soldiers, and the like from Lincoln’s 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 comedy writers, has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time, in the nineteenth century, too much humor was considered a problem. And that was the case for Lincoln. A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debate commented that “I could not take a real personal liking to the man, owing to an inborn weakness for which he was even then notorious and so remained during his great public career, he was extremely fond of jokes, anecdotes, and stories. ”

　　1. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that　.

　　A. the American President could influence the use of English

　　B. the term “sense of humor” wasn’t invented until the 1860s

　　C. what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else

　　D. the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time

　　2. The underlined words “this one” in Paragraph 4 refer to　.

　　A. Lincoln’s unattractive face

　　B. Lincoln’s sense of humor

　　C. the debate they were having

　　D. cruelty that went with funniness

　　3. We rarely see people from Lincoln’s time wear a smile in their photos because　.

　　A. being humorous was considered inappropriate

　　B. they found it quite funny to smile before the camera

　　C. not smiling for photographs was the fashion

　　D. photography technology then was not advanced

　　4. What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debate?

　　A. His comment accurately reflected his time.

　　B. He created a false picture of Lincoln.

　　C. He was prejudiced and self-centered.

　　D. He was brave to point out Lincoln’s weakness.

　　Ⅲ. 书面表达

　　【技法导练】多学一点　棋高一着

　　阅读理解——如何做词义猜测题中的指代题?

　　根据上下文判断代词的指代是阅读理解题中经常考查的, 此时上文或下文会出现其定义、解释或描述, 这就是判断该单词或短语意义的主要依据。根据文中出现的因果词语(because, as, since, for, so, thus, as a result, of course, therefore, so/such . . . that等)、前后对比的词(but, however, not . . . but, on the other hand, rather than, on the contrary, although, while, yet, unlike, instead of等)、同义解释的词语(that is, in other words, or, namely, that means等), 更容易猜测所给词语的意思。高考中大部分猜测都要通过该手段。

　　在本篇阅读理解中作者考查了第四段中的this one的指代。此题根据上文中可知此处的this one指“”。

　　Ⅰ. 1. 【解析】选B。根据teaches可知“怀特小姐平时在大学教英语”, 所以第二个空也用一般现在时, 表示“她暑假时通常在她妹妹的宾馆上班”。

　　2.【解析】选C。及物动词read后跟副词, 如beautifully, easily等时, 常用主动表示被动, 同时根据题中的语境可知应用一般现在时。

　　【误区警示】本题易误选A项。按照常规read的逻辑宾语是your composition, 但是当部分及物动词后跟easily, well, beautifully等副词时, 常用主动表示被动, 这类动词有read, wash, close, open, write等。

　　3. 【解析】选C。主句用了将来完成时, 所以by the time从句要用一般现在时代替一般将来时。

　　4. 【解析】选D。根据is to pick me up(将接我)可知此处用将来时态; take可用现在进行时表示将来意义。

　　5.【解析】选C。考查时态。句意: ——彼得, 你们这些家伙在哪里过的暑假? ——我们工作忙了几个月, 所以就到海边放松了一下。根据上下文可知“忙于工作”发生在动作“到海边”之前, 所以用过去完成时。故选择C项。

　　6. 【解析】选A。said和were都是一般过去时, 所以“他发现”这一动作发生在“说”之前, 由于“说”用了一般过去时, 所以“发现”要用过去完成时。

　　【加固训练】

　　We were very excited because our favourite football team　the important match.

　　A. won B. had won

　　C. has won

　　D. was winning

　　【解析】选B。考查时态。很明显“赢得比赛”发生在were very excited之前, 故用“过去的过去”, 即过去完成时。

　　7.【解析】选D。根据had dreamed可知Quick当空中乘务员发生在“梦想”之后, 因为定语从句中用了过去完成时, 故此空要用一般过去时。

　　8. 【解析】选D。根据语境, 现在是成功的经理, 所以做过五年服务员发生在过去, 故此空用一般过去时。

　　9. 【解析】选D。考查动词时态。根据Sorry, sir. 可知George刚才并没有听对方讲话, 即刚才对方在讲话时, George正在考虑怎么做才能提高英语, 故此空用过去进行时。

　　10. 【解析】选A。根据语境可知“我刚才把我的iPhone放在这儿, 但现在不在这儿了”, 故此空用现在完成时强调过去的动作对现在产生的影响。

　　11. 【解析】选C。This is the first time后从句中必须用现在完成时。而It is time that后从句中要使用虚拟语气, 谓语动词既可用动词过去式, 也可用“should+动词原形”。

　　12. 【解析】选D。该句主句用了现在完成时(have started), 可以推知此空表示“他们从20世纪90年代从事农业一直到现在”, 故此空用现在完成进行时。

　　13. 【解析】选D。他们每天早晨都在同一个咖啡馆相见, 说明几年来他们一直都去那儿, 故此空用现在完成进行时。

　　14. 【解析】选D。根据hasn’t made可知“玛丽一直考虑要去国外学习”, 只不过现在还没有决定是否去。故此空要用现在完成进行时。

　　【加固训练】

　　—Did you find the missing traveler yesterday?

　　—No, but we　to get in touch with him ever since.

　　A. have tried

　　B. have been trying

　　C. had tried

　　D. had been trying

　　【解析】选B。考查动词时态。根据since可知应用完成时态, 答案在A、B中选择。再根据上句语境, 应指“从昨天以来, 我们一直试图与他取得联系。”故此空要用现在完成进行时, 强调动作的持续性。

　　15. 【解析】选C。句意: 当你们明天在聚会上玩得开心时, 我将正在超市里帮助妈妈做事。根据tomorrow可知此空用将来时, 再根据While you are enjoying可知此空用将来进行时。

　　16. 【解析】选D。根据next Wednesday可知此空也填将来时态, 故D项正确, 表示“汤姆下周三将正在西安旅游”。

　　17. 【解析】选A。根据语境, 此处指“我本来打算给你发信息的, 但不幸的是, 我的电脑感染上了电脑病毒。”C项若改为would have emailed则正确。

　　18. 【解析】选A。句意: 当她说她将放弃这份好工作时我们大家都感到惊讶。根据felt surprised, said可知此空也与过去时间有关, 故排除C、D项。再根据语境, 可知A项正确。B项若改为had given也正确, 表示“过去已经放弃了这份好工作”。
