　　A

　　(2010·西安三模)

　　Visitors to Britain may experience local culture in a traditonal pub. But for a stranger visiting the country, these friendly pubs can be traps of potential bad manners for the uneducated.

　　A team of researchers have released some of the hidden customs of British pubs. Most people would like to start with getting a drink when meeting with difficulties. Most pubs have no waiters and as a result, you yourself have to go to the bar to buy drinks. A group of Italian youths wait 45 minutes before they realize they would have to fetch their own. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose.

　　Pub culture is designed to promote communication in a society known for its quietness. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely appropriate and really quite normal behavior.

　　“If you haven't been to a pub, you haven't been to Britain.” This tip can be found in a booklet The Tourist's Guide to Pub Etiquette(禮節), which can be seen as a “passport” to the pub for those wanting to know about “a central part of British life and culture”. The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staffs more than a crowd of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and argue about what to order.

　　1．Why is the British pub the best place to experience local culture?

　　A．Because it is a potential place for all the educated to gather.

　　B．Because it is a traditional place with a lot of local strangers.

　　C．Because the educated can relax themselves entirely there.

　　D．Because you can meet different kinds of local people there.

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。文中第二段和第三段提到當人們遇到困難時都愿意去酒吧喝一杯，在你等待服務的過程中可以遇到不同類型的人，因此D項符合題意。

　　2．If you want to have a drink in a pub, you can ________.

　　A．go to get the drinks yourself

　　B．wait for the waiters to come

　　C．wait in line for 45 minutes

　　D．bring some homemade drinks

　　答案：A　事實細節題。文中第二段第三句中提到“...you yourself have to go to the bar to buy drinks”，所以你應該自己去吧臺要酒。故A項符合題意。

　　3．The author introduces the British pub in a(n) ________ tone.

　　A．critical

　　B．admiring

　　C．neutral

　　D．concerned

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。從文中作者描寫英國酒吧過程中所使用的語言可知，作者在客觀地向讀者展現英國的酒吧文化，作者對英國酒吧持中立的態度。

　　4．What might annoy others in a pub?

　　A．Going to a pub in a big group.

　　B．Chatting about what to order.

　　C．Standing in the way to the bar.

　　D．Buying drinks at the counter.

　　答案：C　事實細節題。根據文章最后一段的最后一句“Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staffs more than a crowd of strangers blocking all access to the bar while...”可知，最讓人惱火的是顧客擋住了通往吧臺的路，并就買什么而爭論不休。

　　B

　　Kataria is the founder of the worldwide laughter movement. The celebration of World Laughter Day is a positive activity for world peace and is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter. The first “World Laughter Day” gathering took place in Mumbai, India, on 11th January, 1998. 12,000 members from India and international Laughter Clubs attended it. Now there are over 5,000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents.

　　“HAPPY-DEMIC” was the first World Laughter Day gathering outside India. It took place on 9th January, two years after the Mumbai gathering. In Copenhagen, Denmark, more than 10,000 people gathered at Town Hall Square. The event went into Guinness Book of World Records.“World Laughter Day”is now organized on the first Sunday of May every year. Hundreds of people gather worldwide on that day to laugh together.

　　Today, many people fear widespread international terrorism. The world has never faced so much unrest before. People are at war within themselves. Laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to unite humanity without religion. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world order. The idea may sound over-ambitious (野心太大的), and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep belief that laughter and only laughter can unite the world, building up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship.

　　Studies also say that laughter helps your body do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, especially for those who are unable to perform physical exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it's good for you.

　　本文為介紹類文章。文章向我們介紹了“世界大笑日”的來歷和此節日的重要性。此節日誕生于印度，是為世界和平而開展的一項積極的活動，其目的是通過開懷大笑來增進世人之間兄弟般的情誼。如今恐怖分子的襲擊遍及全世界，加之其他方面的壓力使得人們更加需要“大笑”這門全球通用的語言。

　　5．The purpose of celebrating World Laughter Day is ________.

　　A．to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter

　　B．to build a common connection between various religions

　　C．to reduce stress and lighten depression

　　D．to lower blood pressure

　　答案：A　細節理解題。根據第一段第二句的后半部分“is intended to build up a global sense of brotherhood and friendship through laughter”可知A項正確。

　　6．The first World Laughter Day gathering outside India took place ________.

　　A．on 11th January, 1998

　　B．on the first Sunday of May

　　C．on 9th January, 1996

　　D．on 9th January, 2000

　　答案：D　細節理解題。由第二段的第一、二兩句內容可知，第一次印度以外的世界大笑日是在印度孟買的聚會過了兩年后的1月9日舉行的，由第一段的倒數第三句可知，印度孟買的那次聚會是在1998年舉行的，故答案為D。

　　7．The author's attitude towards laughter movement is ______.

　　A．positive

　　B．negative

　　C．uninterested

　　D．objective

　　答案：A　作者態度判斷題。從最后兩段作者對大笑的益處的介紹可以判斷出作者對此活動的態度是積極肯定的。positive“積極的，肯定的”；negative“消極的，否定的”；uninterested“不感興趣的，冷淡的”；objective“客觀的”。

　　8．The passage is mainly about ________.

　　A．World Laughter Day and its significance

　　B．the worldwide laughter movement

　　C．a universal language

　　D．laughter

　　答案：A　主旨大題意。文章前兩段介紹了“世界大笑日”這個節日的來歷，后兩段介紹了此節日的重要性，所以只有A項能概括全文的大意。
