19、main purpose of the track is to trigger(激发) a response from home viewers who may not understand all of the intended humour when watching a taped sitcom(situation comedy).1Therefore,canned laughter causes natural reactions to comedies.2The producers of a TV show added canned laughter after the shows
20、taping.Until that time,other radio and television comedies used a live studio audience or no canned laughter at all.In 1953,a sound engineer named Charley Douglass invented the LaffBox,a small electronic device(装置) containing numerous sounds of recorded laughter and applause.It is said that Charley

26、rn that you are interested in Chinese proverbs._Yours,Li Hua考点规范练4(必修1Unit4).【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了阿德莱德大学的火灾预防信息、火警、火灾操练、灭火器以及烟雾探测器的情况。1.C细节理解题。文章第一段第二句是说“他们要检测和维护所有的喷水灭火装置系统、火警和灭火器”,所以和C项意思一致。故选C项。2.B细节理解题。由文章第二段第二句“Mostarealsoequippedwithautomaticfirealarmsystemsconsistingofheatdetectors,smokedetector
27、sandsprinklers.”可知,自动火灾警报系统包括热量探测器、烟雾探测器和喷水灭火装置,和B项意思一致,故选B项。3.C细节理解题。文章第三部分FireDrills中提到“lockthedoortoyourroom”及Exitimmediately,所以与C项内容一致。故选C项。4.A细节理解题。文章第四部分FireExtinguishers的最后一句意为“错误使用灭火器将受到处罚”,与A项内容一致。故选A项。【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Martinez在驾车行驶的路上被洪水冲进了河里,非常绝望。危急关头,一位送货工和他的侄女不顾个人安危,挽救了Martinez的生命。5.B推理判断
28、题。根据第一段中的“Martinez,drivingacar,figuredhedbeOK.Abigmistake.”以及第二段的第一句可知,他做出了错误的判断。6.D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“withthedoorsseriouslydamaged”可知,泥水正快速涌进车里,但车门损毁严重,打不开。故选D项。7.A推理判断题。根据第三段中的“First,hegrabbedheavy-dutyropesfromthebackofhistruckandsecuredMartinezscartonearbyposts.”以及下文他把Martinez从车中救出来可知,他从卡车后面抓起重型绳索,把M
29、artinez的车固定在附近的柱子上,其目的是防止车被冲走。8.C词义猜测题。根据画线单词前面的“Overandover”以及最后一段中的“Heleanedbackandthrewtherock.Finally,theglassbrokeandthemankickedintheremainingpieces.”可知,该短语的意思是“没有用;徒劳”。故选C项。.【解题导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了罐头笑声。1.B根据本空下一句内容可知,罐头笑声能引发人们对喜剧的自然反应笑,这是因为“人们相信,笑声能产生笑声”。2.C根据本段中的“Untilthattime.nocannedlaughterata
30、ll.”可推知,“20世纪50年代”,HankMcCuneShow的制作人在后期制作时加入了罐头笑声,这是“已知对罐头笑声的首次使用”。3.F根据本段内容可知,查理道格拉斯在1953年发明了“笑箱”,传言他从不同喜剧节目的录音录像中搜集笑声,“如果这是真的,那么现代情景喜剧中观众的反应实际上是很多年前被录下来的”。4.A根据本句上下句内容可知,在现场观众面前拍摄是“有问题的”,因为现场观众不能总是提供可以用的反应,尤其是在看了一整天的重新拍摄以后。5.G根据本空上一句中的animproveddigitalversion可推测,“笑箱”升级后“除了原来的笑声和掌声,还有为外国观众和儿童剧的录音”
