Using LanguageⅡ教案2

[技法指导] 1．在写幽默故事时，可适当使用含蓄、风趣的小对话，以增加文章的生动性和感染力。有的对话是作铺垫的，有的是照应前文的。最后几句对话可以联系你的生活常识，体现出幽默。同时，我们还要了解中西方文化的异同，掌握不同的修辞手法。既要了解表层意思，又要领会深层含义。

2．从形式上看，幽默故事通常比较简短，并常带有推理性。前面的部分往往起铺垫作用，后面的部分才是幽默的“灵魂”。故事中的一些前因后果的说明常常被省略，直接进入一个意想不到的结局，使故事达到高潮。

3．从内容上看，幽默故事往往来自日常生活，但随着故事的发展，要有意想不到的结局，这才会使读者感到幽默之所在。

Ⅰ．阅读理解

Mr Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films．

He always gets into awkward and absurd (荒谬的) situations, which greatly amuses audience regardless of their nationality or culture．

The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely simply on body language．

One of my favourite shows is Mr Bean in a restaurant．

After being seated at his table, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals (密封) 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 happily puts it on the table for everyone to see．

When he looks at the menu, a surprised look quickly appears on his face．

He takes all the

money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer (茶托)．

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 can't hide his feelings, except when a waiter asks if everything is all right．

When this happens, he smiles and nods, showing that everything is fine．

When the waiters are not looking, however, he hides the raw meat anywhere he can reach — the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, and under a plate．

He becomes so desperate (孤注一掷的) in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant's violinist! I like to watch Mr Bean on TV, but I wouldn't like to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldn't like to have dinner with him! 1．From the passage, we know Mr Bean is famous for ________．

A．making films B．his spoken English C．playing a role in all kinds of films D．his funny performances in comedies 解析：选D

细节理解题。根据第一段可以看出，憨豆先生以其在喜剧里的滑稽表演而出名。

2．Why is Mr Bean famous all over the world? A．He often has meals in special restaurants．

B．He amuses the audience from different countries．

C．He acts on TV and in films．

D．He acts on body language and spoken language．

解析：选B

细节理解题。由第一段第二句可以看出，全世界的观众，不论国籍和文化背景，都会被憨豆先生的表演逗乐，因此他被认为是一名国际公认的喜剧演员。

3．What does the underlined word “disgusting” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Delicious．

B．Strange．

C．Unpleasant．

D．Fresh．

解析：选C

词义猜测题。根据第三段最后两句他匆匆忙忙到处藏生肉可以看出，他点的食物味道很糟糕，故选C项。

4．Why does Mr Bean pretend to smile in front of the waiter? A．Because he doesn't want the waiter to feel bad．

B．Because he doesn't want to say bad things．

C．Because he likes to express himself in the opposite way．

D．Because he thinks the waiter dislikes him．

解析：选A

推理判断题。当服务员询问时，憨豆先生设法掩盖自己的真实感受，由此可推断，他这样做是不想让服务员感到尴尬。
