Making sense of how the US shows humor Living in a new country gives me many surprises. The first surprise was the way that the US people speak One day I saw someone was having a public speech in a square. I thought it would be a serious speech. But I soon found it became a kind of entertainment show. The speaker told the audience to protect the environment with humorous words. Later he said some people’s behavior didn’t go with their words. He took the example of Taylor Swift’s song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.[ He said that since Swift doesn’t want to be with the boy any more, she doesn’t need to speak it aloud, she doesn’t need to sing unless she still keeps in touch with that guy. It sounds like she is a hypocrite. Then he sang the song in a funny way. The audience laughed out loudly. I felt a little angry because Swift is my favourite star. I couldn’t understand why they laughed at Swift. As time goes on, I find many US people make fun of others. But they don’t mean to hurt them. They do that to show closeness and humour. And people who are laughed at seldom get angry. Now I understand the speaker at the square. Now I’ve got used to the way the US people speak. It’s easy to find culture shock when you’re in a new place. But everyone should learn to understand different cultures and customs.  小题1:The man in the square was _______________. A．teaching people how to give a speech B．calling on people to protect the environment C．giving a singing show in public D．criticizing the US government 小题2:What does the underlined word “hypocrite” in Paragraph 4 mean?

试题解析:本文大意：在一个新的国家居住给我很多惊喜。第一个就是美国人说话的方式。 一天我看到一个人在广场上做一个公共讲演，我认为会是一个严肃的演讲，但我不久就发现它变成一种娱乐秀了。演讲者用幽默的语言告诉观众保护环境，后来他说一些人的言行不致，拿Taylor Swift的歌 We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.举例子。随着时间流逝，我发现许多美国人拿别人开玩笑，但他们本意不是伤害他们，那么做是展未亲密和幽默。我慢慢地习惯了美国的的说话方式。 当你在一个新地方时，很容易发现文化冲击，但每个人都应该学会去理解不同的文化和风俗。 小题1:细节理解题。根据The speaker told the audience to protect the environment with humorous words.演讲者用幽默的语言告诉观众保护环境，可知答案选B. 小题2:推理判断题。根据 Later he said some people’s behavior didn’t go with their words.

政治经济类阅读

考点名称：政治经济类阅读

• 政治经济类阅读：
  该类文章时代气息浓郁，语言鲜活，但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多，长句、难句多。
  政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容，读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉，经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花，文章看完，一头雾水。
  再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨，同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
  

• 政治经济类阅读注意：
  1、要做好这类阅读，平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事，掌握一定背景知识；
  2、对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解，还要扩展这方面的词汇；
  3、阅读这类文章，要抓住文章的核心，即文章整体和各段主要在说什么，也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。

  政治经济类阅读技巧：
  针对不同体裁的文章，我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式，我们可采取“顺读法”，以便抓关键语句，领会文章主旨；而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式，我们则可以采取“逆读法”，先读试题，再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。
  1. 寻找主干：
  根据英语中五种基本句型结构，把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来，其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干，句子的意思至少明白了一半。
  2. 剔除从句：
  在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句，在理解时，如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解，然后把大意拼凑起来，整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
