9 . A nation's humor is linked to the historical development of the country. How funny somebody finds a certain thing depends on many things including ages, personal experiences, levels of education and locations. Therefore, humor is something that is not always transferable (可转移的) in another country.

What about when both countries speak the same mother tongue? Does that mean they will then share the same sense of humor, or can differences still take place? Let's take the example of Britain and America. Time and time again, people say that Brits and Americans don't "get" each other's sense of humor. It is often argued that one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humor is that Americans don't understand irony (反话). Simon Pegg explores this topic in depth in his article What Are You Laughing At? He concludes that this statement isn't true and I agree with him.

In fact, Brits use irony on a daily basis while Americans don't. I think Americans understand British irony (most of the time anyway); what they don't understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use irony, they tend to say that they are "only kidding". They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than Brits do. Maybe this comes from a fear of offending (冒犯) people.

The American sense of humor is generally more slapstick (闹剧的) than that in Britain. I think this arises from a cultural difference between the two. Their jokes are more obvious and forward, a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes, on the other hand, tend to be more subtle. This may stem from the fact that British culture is more reserved (矜持的) than American culture.

1. What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?

A．Humor is difficult to get.

B．Humor is influenced by culture.

C．Not all people have a sense of humor.

D．It is important to have a sense of humor.

2. What is the author's point of view in Paragraph 2?

A．Americans don't get Brits' humor.

B．Americans know how to use irony.

C．Simon Pegg is professional in using irony.

D．Britain and America share the same sense of humor.

3. What can we learn about Brits and Americans from Paragraph 3?

A．Americans' jokes often offend people.

B．Brits' irony is not easy to understand.

C．They are different in how often to use irony.

D．They are not sure about the need to use irony.

4. What does the underlined word "subtle" mean?

A．Hidden	B．Funny
C．Obvious	D．Special

10 . To reach one local restaurant, a bowl of Chinese noodles travels across the Eurasian continent and settles on the Scandinavian Peninsula, placed before hungry people visiting the home of Santa Claus.

A Chinese man brought local dishes reganmian and hot pot to Rovaniemi, Finland, becoming the first Chinese to open a restaurant in the Arctic Circle.

Hu Liang, from Central China's Hubei province, immigrated to Finland after graduation at 21. Twelve years on, he has seen more and more Chinese tourists visiting the country to enjoy the winter holiday, Aurora Borealis - and of course, the supposed home of Santa Claus.

“Chinese people are becoming richer and more international. What has not changed is their stomachs. So I made the decision to open the restaurant.”

Hu's restaurant serves reganmian, a traditional Wuhan noodle dish with spicy flavor and a sesame paste (芝麻酱) dressing, as well as Chinese hotpot. He orders food materials from Chinese trade corporations through e-business platforms and offers e-payment popular among Chinese people such as Alipay.

At a price of 15 euro ($18.45), a bowl of reganmian is not only great comfort for Chinese tourists who have traveled from thousands of miles away, but also an attraction to local Finns.

In Rovaniemi, with a population of around 60,000, Hu receives more than 300 guests in the peak season to present people a hot, spicy experience in the cold, snowy country.

Married to a Finnish woman and father to one child, Hu has adapted himself to the Nordic (北欧人的) lifestyle with regular skiing and ice fishing trips.

He said he will bring his child to Wuhan, and try to switch between the two cities every half year.

1. What is the first paragraph intended to do?

A．To present the main idea of the text.

B．To explain where Santa Claus’ home is.

C．To arouse the readers’ interest in the topic.

D．To describe the travel route of the Chinese noodles.

2. What contributes to Hu Liang’s decision to open the restaurant in Rovaniemi?

A．His immigration to Finland after graduation.

B．His marriage to a Finnish woman.

C．His being a native of Wuhan and the cold weather in Finland.

D．More and more Chinese tourists here and their preferred flavor.

3. What can we infer from the text?

A．The food in his restaurant is traditional and delicious.

B．People are required to pay by Alipay in his restaurant.

C．Some Chinese travel thousands of miles to taste his noodles.

D．Hu Liang is in his forties now.

4. What is the main idea of this message?

A．Chinese dishes bring heat to icy country.

B．Chinese food becomes international.

C．Wuhan reganmian and hotpot become favorites of Finns.

D．Hu Liang will always remember his homeland.
