【題目】美國某刊物向你約稿，請你用英語寫一則笑話，字數(shù)100-120。笑話大意：有人穿錯一雙靴子，一只底厚一只底薄，走路一瘸一跛。他想：“奇怪，我今天怎么一條腿長一條腿短呢？可能是路不平吧。”有人說：“你是把靴子穿錯了吧？”他低頭一看，果然如此。就叫仆人回家另取一雙，一會兒仆人空手而歸，說：“家里那雙也是一樣，所以我沒有拿來�！�

參考詞匯：1. 靴子 boot；

2. 瘸或跛 limp（n./vi）; lame (adj./ vi.)

3. (鞋)底 bottom-pad

4. (路)不平 not even / uneven

【答案】

A man had got on a wrong pair of boots, one with a thick bottom-pad and the other with a thin one. So he walked with a limp.

He said, “Oh, how strange it is! My legs are of an unequal length today, one longer and the other shorter. Or maybe the road is uneven.”

Someone said,“Haven’t you worn a wrong pair of boots?”

Looking down at his own feet, he found it was quite true. Then he sent his servant home to fetch him another pair of boots.

A few minutes later, the servant came back with empty hands. He said, “The boots at home are exactly the same. So I don’t think it necessary to bring them to you.”

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于提綱類短文，要求考生用英文寫一則笑話。文章使用一般過去時和第三人稱的時態(tài)。提綱類作文的要點都已經(jīng)給出，寫作的時候切忌逐句翻譯，或總使用陳述句。建議在寫作的時候多使用祈使句和疑問句，主動句和被動句交替，讓文章富有變化不單調(diào)。同時注意運用高級詞匯及串聯(lián)詞。

【題目】A drunken burglar（盜賊）in the Orrell Park area of Liverpool, ended up leaping out of a window after a 10-year-old girl asked him to prove he was a superhero. The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.

Thief Ethan Adamson, 25, told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking session, believing it was empty. But he was horrified when the owner’s 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there.

From his hospital bed, the thief told reporters, “To keep her quiet, I told her I was really Superman and I’d soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters.” “She called my bluff (嚇唬) and told me, ‘If you’re Superman, show me you can fly or I’ll scream’ ”.

“I had no choice so I stripped to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window. I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought. I know it doesn’t make sense but it did to me when I was drunk.”

Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants, covered in cuts and bruises after a baffled neighbor heard his cries of pain. He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.

Police spokesman Frank Amado said, “He was in quite a serious state and couldn’t move until we got up there using ladders. He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes before taking him to hospital, where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested.”

A. I could make the girl trust me.

a. Ethan Adamson told reporters of the burglary.

b. The 10-year-old girl called Ethan Adamson’s bluff.

c. Ethan Adamson attended a drinking session.

d. Ethan Adamson leapt out of a window.

A. cbda B. cabd C. dbca D. dcab

【3】 Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Adamson was being watched while he was in hospital.

B. Adamson was set free a few days after staying in hospital.

C. Adamson was badly treated before he was rushed to hospital.
