A

If there's one thing the British are good at, it's watching telly. You may think the Americans would beat us at that, but we've taken and turned it into an art form. Like most people, our favorite TV subject is ourselves, which has led to a number of shows aiming to be as British as possible. So if you want to learn how to be British, sit down to a few episodes of these distinctly British shows.

DOCTOR WHO

Political aside, Doctor Who owes its long television life not only to a brilliant central character, terrifying alien foes and intelligent scriptwriting, but also to a distinctly British way of doing things. If the Earth is the Doctor's favorite planet, it's clear that Britain is his favorite country.

SHERLOCK

The global popularity of the modernized Sherlock Holmes series has proven yet again that no amount of big blockbuster allgunsblazing cop shows can compete with the reserved and sharp detective work of one of Britain's most wellloved characters. Benedict Cumberbatch has been rightly lauded for his depiction of the fastthinking private eye, which has proven again we British are good at more than drinking tea.

BLACKADDER

Similar to the Pythons, the brilliance of Blackadder is set in its genius application of witty and classically British humor. From the dulcet tones of lead man Rowan Atkinson to the clumsy sidekick Tony Robinson, there's no better show for telling what makes the British British and having a good laugh at it, including an entire season of pointing fun at the French, one of the most British activities.

FRIENDS

I know what you're thinking—Friends is an American show, about Americans' living in America! How can it be distinctly British? But perhaps you're not aware that, apart from Season 1, Friends is written entirely by British writers, and if you watch the first season in comparison to the others, the difference really shows. British sense of humor can't be replicated artificially. It's a fine art by a natural hand. As an English student, I figure—Friends is, and although they speak in American accents, a British!

After a long struggle,the battle was won.Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.He looked at it,then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She feared to open it,for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.Finally she opened,and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.She began to read the following words:“Paid in full with one glass of milk.Signed,Dr Howard Kelly.”

The owner of a missing cat is asking for help. “My baby has been missing for over a month now, and I want him back so badly，” said Mrs. Brown, a 56yearold woman. Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a park near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7yearold cat, didn't come home for dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didn't appear for breakfast, either. After Clyde missed an extraspecial lunch, she called the police.

When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white.

“Is Clyde your child or your pet？”the officer asked. “Well, he's my cat.” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS！” said the annoyed policeman. “You can ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers.” Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the highway, with a phone number on it.

She called that number, and they told her they could put up a picture of Clyde on the billboard for all to see. They told her it would cost only ￥3 000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month. The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared.

Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.

文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道。一个老太太的宠物猫丢失一个多月了，她就此请求大家给予帮助。

1．The underlined word “flyers” in the second paragraph probably means ________. A．posters B．pilots

C．billboards D．newspapers

答案：A 词义猜测题。警察建议Mrs. Brown “put up flyers”，再根据文章第二段倒数第二句“Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole.”可推知，flyer指的是“an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole”，故答案A海报，符合文义。

2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The police officer thought that Clyde was Mrs. Brown's child.

B．Mrs. Brown put up an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole.

C．Clyde had kept Mrs. Brown company for seven years in total.

D．Someone rented the billboard for Mrs. Brown for one month.

答案：A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句“‘Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS！’ said the annoyed policeman”可知，答案A符合文义。should此处

表示惊讶。

A．the billboard off the highway costs $ 3 000 a month

B．the neighbors helped Mrs. Brown to put up flyers

C．Mrs. Brown doesn't give up the hope of finding Clyde

London

Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang.

With an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.

Mauritius

Found in Por t Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the streets.
