[选择性必修第二册] 课时冲关13　UNIT 4　 HUMOUR Ⅰ.阅读A 主题语境：人与社会 体裁：说明文 话题：创造幽默与欣赏幽默的联系 Telling jokes requires intelligence, creativity, imagination and the ability to tell a story, while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but one that demands attention, intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes. Besides, there are also clear similarities between joke tellers and appreciators. A new study takes this further and tries to find other connections between creating humour and appreciating humour. The author carried on the cartoon caption (字幕) task. 159 participants were shown more than 30 cartoons without captions and were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of them. Later, independent judges classified those captions based on how funny they were. The results showed that those who produced the funniest captions also produced more captions overall. What was more interesting was that creating funny captions was negatively related to appreciation of humour. In other words, funny people tend to find jokes less funny than other people do. It is not clear why this is the case, but it might be because creators of great humour have higher standards of humour creativity and expect higher levels of creativity from people who tell jokes, compared to those who are not so good at creating humour. Moreover, outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier, but surprisingly, outgoing people are less likely to be funny. This is consistent with my own research that comedians were more introverted than the general population. They usually don't like to express themselves in social situations. Appreciation and production of humour are two different cognitive (认知的) tasks, each with unique characteristics. This is why when someone tells you he or she has a great sense of humour, you may ask, “Are you good at telling jokes or do you tend to laugh more？” 1．What qualities do joke tellers and appreciators have in common? A．Attention　　　 B．Creativity C．Imagination D．Intelligence 2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The results of the study. B．The process of the study. C．The judgement of the study. D．The importance of the study 3．According to the text, outgoing people ________. A．are good at appreciating humour B．are more likely to be comedians C．are more likely to be funny D．are unwilling to express themselves in social situations 4．What does the underlined word “introverted” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Being very successful. B．Being easy to talk to. C．Being quiet and shy. D．Being kind to others. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了讲笑话的人和欣赏笑话的人的共同之处是聪明才智，一项新的研究对此进行了进一步研究，并试图找到创造幽默和欣赏幽默之间的其它联系。文章解释了研究开展的过程以及研究的发现。 1．D　[细节理解题。根据第一段“Telling jokes requires intelligence, creativity, imagination and the ability to tell a story, while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but one that demands attention, intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes.(讲笑话需要智力、创造力、想象力和讲故事的能力，而听笑话则是一种更被动的行为，但它需要注意力、智力和良好的心情才能欣赏笑话。)”可知，讲笑话的人和欣赏笑话的人的共同之处是聪明才智。] 2．B　[主旨大意题。根据第二段“The author carried on the cartoon caption (字幕) task. 159 participants were shown more than 30 cartoons without captions and were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of them. Later, independent judges classified those captions based on how funny they were.(作者进行了漫画配文的任务。研究人员向159名参与者展示了30多部没有字幕的漫画，并要求他们为每一幅漫画想出一个有趣的标题。之后，独立评委根据搞笑程度对这些字幕进行分类。)”可知，第二段的主要内容是研究的过程。] 3．A　[推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Moreover, outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier, but surprisingly, outgoing people are less likely to be funny.(此外，外向的人和那些乐于接受新体验的人觉得卡通更有趣，但令人惊讶的是，外向的人不太可能有趣。)”可知，外向的人善于欣赏幽默。] 4．C　[词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“They usually don't like to express themselves in social situations.(他们通常不喜欢在社交场合表达自己。)”可知，喜剧演员通常不喜欢在社交场合表达自己，说明他们比较安静和害羞。故划线词意思是“安静害羞”。] 阅读B 主题语境：人与社会 体裁：记叙文 话题：改变窘境，笑对生活 (2024·张家口三模)Greg was driving one morning when he hit ice and collided (碰撞) with Cecilly Rudalavage of Ambler, Pennsylvania. No one was injured, and Greg was extremely apologetic as he and Cecilly examined their cars. As they spoke, Cecilly couldn't help but notice that Greg had very few teeth in his mouth. Greg had fallen victim to “one bad dentist after another”， leading to a lifetime of poverty, pain, food restrictions, and embarrassment. He seldom smiled or even opened his mouth, if he could help it. His self­confidence had been knocked down at every turn. “My ex­wife told me not to smile at the wedding and it was embarrassing，” he recalled. The reason why Cecilly noticed and asked about his teeth was because she happened to be a dental implant (植牙) sales representative for Ditron Dental, USA and sold the same dental implant that Greg desperately needed! Cecilly decided on the spot to do something for the stranger. She reached out to her employer, who agreed to cover the cost of the dental components. She then contacted Dr. Simon Oh, an implant surgeon, who was known for doing charity work. Dr. Oh agreed to help, and they set a date. Dr. Oh and his team performed Greg's surgery after hours and free of charge. Using state­of­the­art technology, they created a 3D model of Greg's skull (颅骨), which they used to fit him with permanent implants. Greg's new smile was pretty beautiful! Better yet, he's finally able to eat his favorite foods again and greet everyone he meets with a smile. Cecilly was glad she was able to help a fellow human in need. She's incredibly thankful to everyone who donated their time, effort, and products to give Greg his brilliant new smile. “If it wasn't for everybody willing to work at no cost, then this wouldn't have happened for Greg.” Of all the cars Greg could have hit, he happened to hit the one driven by a dental implant sales representative! That's what we call a “happy accident”． 5. What made Greg awkward? A. He had to apologize for his fault. B．He couldn't smile at the wedding. C．A woman laughed at his few teeth. D．No dentists could treat his disease. 6. How did Cecilly deal with a stranger who hit her car? A. She used her resources available to help him. B．She required him to pay for the damage to her car. C．She applied new technology to transform his life. D．She decided to cover the cost of his dental implant. 7. What can be inferred from the text? A. Greg was lucky to survive in the accident. B．Greg hit the right person at the right time. C．Cecilly was happy to live in a peaceful society. D．Dr. Simon Oh performed Greg's surgery easily. 8. What is the best title of the text? A．A Chance Crash Gave a Man a New Smile B．A Man Was Grateful for Everyone's Kindness C．A 3D Model of Teeth Saves a Victim of Dentists D．A Happy Accident Happened to Two Lucky Drivers [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。本文由一次事故引出Greg的窘境——满口缺失的牙齿让其不敢张嘴笑。Cecilly动用她的人脉资源帮助Greg治好了他的牙病，使其又能笑对生活。 5．B　[细节理解题。根据第二段的“My ex­wife told me not to smile at the wedding and it was embarrassing. (我前妻告诉我在婚礼上不要笑，这很尴尬。)”可知，不能在喜庆的婚礼上笑，这令他很尴尬。] 6．A　[细节理解题。根据第三段的“Cecilly decided on the spot to do something for the stranger. She reached out to her employer, who agreed to cover the cost of the dental components. She then contacted Dr. Simon Oh, an implant surgeon, who was known for doing charity work. (Cecilly当场决定为陌生人做点什么。她联系了她的老板，后者同意支付牙科零件的费用。然后她联系了Simon Oh医生，一个以慈善工作闻名的植入外科医生。)”可知，为了帮助Greg摆脱困境，Cecilly动用了身边的资源。] 7．B　[推理判断题。根据第五段的“If it wasn't for everybody willing to work at no cost, then this wouldn't have happened for Greg.(如果不是每个人都愿意无偿工作，那么这种事就不会发生在Greg身上。)”和最后一段“Of all the cars Greg could have hit, he happened to hit the one driven by a dental implant sales representative! That's what we call a ‘happy accident’. (在Greg可能撞到的所有车中，他碰巧撞上了一辆由牙科种植销售代表驾驶的车！这就是我们所说的‘快乐的意外’。)”可知，Greg是幸运的，他在正确的时间碰(撞)到了恰当的人。] 8．A　[主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文由一次事故引出Greg的窘境——满口缺失的牙齿让其不敢张嘴笑。Cecilly动用她的人脉资源帮助Greg治好了他的牙病，使其又能笑对生活。再结合最后一段“Of all the cars Greg could have hit, he happened to hit the one driven by a dental implant sales representative! That's what we call a ‘happy accident’. (在Greg可能撞到的所有车中，他碰巧撞上了一辆由牙科种植销售代表驾驶的车！这就是我们所说的‘快乐的意外’。)”可知，A项“一次偶然的碰撞给一个人带来新的微笑”可以作为本文最佳标题。] Ⅱ.语法填空 主题语境：人与社会 体裁：议论文 话题：与朋友交谈，笑声多 When 1.______ (ask) what makes them laugh, most adults will tell you it's jokes and humour. But they would be wrong. Robert Provine, 2.______ psychologist from the University of Maryland, 3.______ (find) some time ago that we actually laugh most when talking to our friends. In fact we're 30 times more likely 4.______ (laugh) at something when we are with other people. Interestingly, within these conversations, we 5.______ (be) still not laughing at jokes: we laugh at statements and comments that do not seem on the face of them to be remotely funny.

Actually, it is, to a greater degree, a social behaviour which we use to show people that we like them and 8.______ we understand them.

[语篇解读]　这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了当被问及是什么让他们笑时，大多数成年人会告诉你是笑话和幽默。但他们错了。马里兰大学的一位心理学家罗伯特·普罗文不久前发现，我们在与朋友交谈时笑得最多。 1．asked　[考查非谓语动词。句意：当被问及是什么让他们笑时，大多数成年人会告诉你是笑话和幽默。分析句子结构可知，此处用非谓语动词，ask与逻辑主语most adults是被动关系。故填asked。] 2．a　[考查冠词。句意：但他们错了，马里兰大学的一位心理学家罗伯特·普罗文不久前发现，我们在与朋友交谈时笑得最多。分析句意可知，此处泛指“一位心理学家”，应用不定冠词，psychologist的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。] 3．found　[考查动词时态。句意：但他们错了，马里兰大学的一位心理学家罗伯特·普罗文不久前发现，我们在与朋友交谈时笑得最多。分析句子结构可知，主语是Robert Provine，缺谓语，由ago可知，应用一般过去时。故填found。] 4．to laugh　[考查非谓语动词。句意：事实上，当我们和其他人在一起时，我们对某事发笑的可能性是其他人的30倍。固定搭配be likely to do“可能会做”。故填to laugh。] 5．are　[考查动词时态。句意：有趣的是，在这些对话中，我们仍然不会因为笑话而笑；我们笑的是那些在他们看来一点也不有趣的言论和评论。句子描述的是目前的情况，应用一般现在时，主语是we。故填are。] 6．reaction　[考查名词。句意：这是一种交流方式，而不是一种反应。分析句子结构可知，此处与a form of communication作并列表语，也应用名词，由空前a可知，应用名词单数形式。故填reaction。] 7．with　[考查介词。句意：关于笑的科学告诉我们笑和笑话没有太大的联系。固定搭配be associated with“和……有联系”。故填with。] 8．that　[考查宾语从句。句意：实际上，在更大程度上，这是一种社会行为，我们用来向人们展示我们喜欢他们，我们理解他们。分析句子结构可知，此处与前面“that we like them”作并列宾语从句，从句句意完整、成分齐全，应用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故填that。] 9．emotionally　[考查副词。句意：笑是一种情绪，我们可以用它来和情感亲近的人相处，让自己感觉更好。此处修饰后面的形容词close，应用副词。故填emotionally。] 10．enjoying　[考查非谓语动词。句意：这对我们享受快乐的心情至关重要——但当环境让我们感觉糟糕时，这可能更重要。分析句子结构可知，空前to是介词，应用动名词，与our构成动名词的复合结构。故填enjoying。] 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
