1、UNIT 4HUMOUR(满分：120分建议用时：120分钟)第一部分阅读(50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分， 满分37.5分)AIt is widely believed that humour is good for your health. However, most studies on humour and health show that by watching something humorous comedy films, for example you can just escape from the pain for a short time, or that h
2、umour just helps reduce signs of a disease. So far, no study has shown that humour can help a person recover from a serious illness.One way to study the relationship between humour and health is looking at the health of people who use humour as part of their jobs: comedians and improv(即兴表演) artists,
3、 for example. Not only do they use humour as part of their work, but also they show the highest levels of humour ability. So if humour is really good for our health, we can anticipate that comedians benefit the most from it.Although it is often said that humour can make people live longer, research
4、has actually found the opposite to be true. One study found that comedians and humour writers actually died younger compared with other famous people who were not performers. However, these studies were somewhat limited, because most of the comedians were men and already dead. And many famous people
5、 often live very unhealthy lives, and the comedians might have died from reasons such as heavy drinking or smoking.My colleagues and I decided to take a different way. We collected data(数据) from 491 improv artist students 224 women and 267 men all alive. We compared this improv group with 795 noncom
6、edians, who were matched in age, sex, and education.We asked participants from both groups to tell us how many diseases they had had in the past three years and how long they had lasted. The improv artists reported that they had had many more diseases, and that these diseases had lasted longer compa
7、red with the control group. So our study adds further evidence to the conclusion made by the studies before.()1.What do most studies on humour and health show about humour?AIt doesnt really reduce signs of diseases.BIt just helps reduce peoples pain for a while.CIt cant really make people feel comfo
8、rtable.DIt can help one recover from a serious disease.()2.What does the underlined word “anticipate” in Paragraph 2 mean?APredict.BNotice.CUnderstand.DExplain.()3.What can we know about the improv artists from the authors research?AThey had more unhealthy habits.BThey benefited more from humour.CTh
9、ey were more likely to get diseases.DThey did better in taking care of themselves.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了人们普遍认为幽默对我们的健康有益，但研究发现，幽默对我们健康的益处并没有那么大。1. B细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “However, most studies on humour and health show that by watching something humorouscomedy films, for example you can just escape from the
10、pain for a short time.”可知，幽默只能暂时帮助人们减轻痛苦。2. A词义猜测题。根据第二段中的 “So if humour is really good for our health.”可知，在这种情况，我们应该“预测”喜剧演员从幽默中受益最大。3.

13、 Wilson, director of National Humour Month (April in the US), it contains 265 jokes.RD: Do some people fail to develop a sense of humour?Rod Martin, professor of psychology at the Western University in Canada, believes that while everyone is born without a sense of humour, as we develop, humour and
14、laughter begin to appear.“Of course, some children are more serious, quiet, and less likely to laugh frequently, but this doesnt mean they dont have a sense of humour.” And according to Steve Wilson, there are no adults who dont have a sense of humour.“Almost everyone is able to develop a sense of h
15、umour, and I teach people how，” he says.RD: Do people share a sense of humour unique to their own nation?Sense of humour does differ a lot by country, according to an author named Scott Weems.British humour is thought to be absurd(荒谬的) in nature, while American humour has an aggressive quality.Accor

31、ion(讲座) with a little joke to break the ice? Well, you might want to reconsider.The story is told of a businessman who gave a speech in a foreign country through an interpreter(口译员)Without warning the interpreter, he told a joke during the presentation.The interpreter knew the joke would not transla
32、te, so she said，“This man just told a joke that he thinks is funny, but it does not translate well, and you will not find it funny at all.So, when I stop talking, everyone please just laugh.”The audience did indeed laugh aloud, but not for the reason the speaker supposed.The businessman was so pleas
33、ed with the first result that he went on to tell another joke.Each culture has different understandings of humour.What may be funny in one culture can be far from funny in another.For example, while living in Chile, I often tried to share great jokes from the United States, only to be met with quest
34、ions like, “Oh, is that a joke? Is that funny in your country？” Similarly, Chileans shared their own popular jokes that were not always funny to me.In September 2001, Professor Richard Wiseman and the British Association for the Advancement of Science created a project called LaughLab in order to fi
35、nd the worlds funniest joke.And in one year, LaughLab received more than 40,000 jokes.The following joke is considered the worlds funniest joke by LaughLab：“Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls down.He doesnt seem to be breathing.The other man calls the emergency services.He says，
36、My friend is dead! What can I do？ The operator says, Calm down.I can help.First, lets make sure hes dead.There is a silence, then a shot is heard.Back on the phone, the guy says，OK, now what？”If you decide you must share a joke or two in another country, ask the opinion of your interpreter first.Oth

39、 know what to do.DHe misunderstands the meaning of “make sure”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。幽默与文化紧密联系，不同文化的幽默方式不同，对幽默的理解也不同。12B细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “So, when I stop talking, everyone please just laugh.”可知，口译员告诉听众这个笑话没办法翻译，所以等自己停止说话后，观众大笑即可。13D细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “The businessman was so pleased with the first result that he wen
40、t on to tell another joke.”可知，讲完笑话，看到观众都大笑了，这个商人深受鼓舞又讲了一个笑话。14B推理判断题。根据第四段中的 “Each culture has different understandings of humour.”以及在第五段中作者分享了自己在智利的经历可知，他列举自己的例子是为了说明幽默与文化息息相关。15D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的 “The operator says, Calm down. I can help. First, lets make sure hes dead.”可知，那个猎人之所以射杀了自己的朋友，是因为误解了接线员口
41、中“make sure”的含义。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was：“Youll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read：“_16_” With a workout partner, you will increase your

47、到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。16C根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner. One reason was：Youll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym”可知，这里陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由。第一个理由是“Youllif”的结构，根据句式一致的原则，可优先看C项。再根据句意，C项正是另一个理由，所以“Youll work harder if you
48、train with someone else.”符合上下文语境。故选C。17D根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person.”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility？”，又根据关键信息“Or”以及“or”后面的问句，可确定空格处应该也是一个类似结构的问句，可确定答案在D或E中。根据文意可知，空格处应该填写反问自己结伴锻炼的目的。所以D项“Do you want to be a better
49、 athlete in your favorite sport？”符合上下文语境。故选D。18B根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but probably wont result in a useful response.”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.”可知，选择的伙伴应该是同一个地区的，或者离得比较近。所以B项“A workout partn
50、er usually needs to live close by.”符合上下文语境。故选B。19G根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park.Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age.It also listed her favorite sp
51、orts and activities, and provided her phone number.”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以G项“Any notice for a training partner should include such information.”中的“notice”以及“such information”符合上下文语境。故选G。20F根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills.”和后文“Over time, both of you will
52、benefityour partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit.”可知，“different skills”和“both of you will benefit”暗示要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。所以F项“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other.”符合上下文语境。故选F。第二部分语言运用(30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)Parents feel that it

61、eel that it is difficult to live with teenagers(父母感觉和孩子相处困难)”可知，他们之间有争论，即对事物有不同的看法(argument)。23C根据上文untidiness和 “daily routine tasks”填空所在的句子和后文的 “clothes thrown on the floor and their childrens refusal ”形成并列关系，可知选C。24B与上文说的孩子把家弄乱，到处乱扔衣服并列的应是拒绝帮忙做家务。25C与后文不打扫房间，不去买东西并列，即把毛巾丢(drop)在浴室。26A根据后句中“some ap
62、proaches”可知选A。句意：不同的家长有着不同的解决问题的方法(approach)。27D由下文中的better可知有些方法较为成功。28A父母责骂他们乱，但稍后(later)就为他们整理房间，这样只有较少的机会改变他们的行为，即几乎无法改变他们的行为。29A从下文多次出现的actions可知。30C根据下文所举的例子“不帮父母去买东西”“在冰箱里找不到自己最喜欢的饮料”可知，这是让孩子“感受到自己的行为产生的后果”。31D根据语境可知，孩子们被迫重新考虑自己的行为。32A根据本段倒数第二句出现的 “Communication is a twoway process.”以及上文一直强调父
63、母与孩子应如何沟通，可知选A。33D“talk to”与say是同义复现，即父母要向子女说出(talk)他们的想法，同时也要倾听子女的想法。34B由上文的blame可知，当父母看到孩子把家里弄乱时会责备他们，所以选scold。35C只有通过倾听和相互理解(understanding)，父母与孩子之间的问题才可得到解决。第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)Raymond Arrieta, a famous comedian in Puerto Rico, knows that one of the best ways to lift peoples spirits is to mak

74、“The babys in there！” the woman cried.Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside.The baby was 8yearold Tiara Roberts, the womans granddaughter.Entering the burning house was like “running into a bucket of black paint”， Surrell says.The thick smoke caused h

He spent over a week in the hospital. The fire worsened Surrells pulmonary condition, and he feels the effects even two years later. As a result, he takes extra medication that helps open his airways. “It s a small price to pay，” he says. “Id do it again in a heartbeat. Wouldnt give it a second thought.”
