Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 19 A [甘肃天水一中2023高二月考] When I was a teenager, I knew nothing about mental health. If you would have talked about “safe spaces”, I’d have thought that you meant a bank. What’s more, I didn’t care about mental health. Why would I? As Dad always used to say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” But unfortunately my mental health did “break”. I was diagnosed （诊断） seriously clinically anorexic（厌食的）at age 23. I had immediate treatment in hospital, which lasted two and a half years. People always wonder what helped me recover and it was simple: comedy. I’m a professional stand-up comic. Comedy began as my hobby and has progressed into a job. The word “comedy” is believed to originate from the Ancient Greek kōmos meaning “to reveal”. Comedy’s job is to “reveal”, explain and understand things. This was something I turned to when I was in recovery from anorexia. I’d never been able to explain what was going on inside my head; trying to explain what’s going on in your mind is like trying to explain a colour to someone who’s blind. So humour became a way of understanding things and then a way of explaining them. 刷阅读理解 20 Dr Dieter Declercq, Lecturer in Film and Media Studies at the University of Kent, believes “humour can change our perspective on a difficult situation”. However, he adds carefully that “We should avoid easy generalisations like ‘All humour is good for you’”. In his new book Satire, Comedy and Mental Health, he looks at how comedy helps to sustain good mental health. Enjoyed with others, it is important for good mental health and recovery. Stand-up comedy was important for my recovery. I know I’m not alone in that. So I want to pay that forward and show other people your mental health doesn’t have to be “broke” before you can “fix it”. 刷阅读理解 21 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在青少年时期不在乎心理健康，当自己被诊断出有严重的厌食症之后，通过喜剧从疾病中恢复，并呼吁大家重视心理健康的故事。 1.How did the author treat the issue of mental health as a teenager?( ) D A.She took it seriously. B.She was confident of it. C.She hated talking about it. D.She paid no attention to it. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的When I was a teenager, I knew nothing about mental health.以及What’s more, I didn’t care about mental health.可知，作者在青少年时期对心理健康一无所知，并且毫不在乎。 刷阅读理解 22 2.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?( ) A A.Explain how comedy helps. B.Share what she went through. C.State where comedy comes from. D.Show why comedy is a common hobby. 解析 推理判断题。根据文章第三段可知，作者讲述了在从厌食症恢复的过程中，喜剧所产生的幽默可以帮助她理解周围的事物，并成为解释事物的一种方式。由此推知，本段主要介绍了喜剧是如何帮助作者走出厌食症的。 刷阅读理解 23 3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?( ) B A.A film. B.Comedy. C.A difficult situation. D.The new book. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的he looks at how comedy helps to sustain good mental health可知，德克莱尔博士探讨了喜剧如何有助于保持良好的心理健康。再结合it is important for good mental health and recovery可知，德克莱尔博士认为喜剧对良好的心理健康和恢复很重要。由此推知，画线词it指代上文出现的comedy（喜剧）。 刷阅读理解 24 4.In which section of a magazine may this text probably appear?( ) A A.Health & Life.

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 authors carried on the cartoon caption （说明文字） 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 rated those captions based on how funny they were. 刷阅读理解 27 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 non-funny people. It is not clear why this is the case, but it might be that 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 withdrawn than the general population. 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 should ask, “Are you good at telling jokes or do you tend to laugh more?” 刷阅读理解 28 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究试图找到创造幽默和欣赏幽默之间的其他联系，呈现了研究开展的过程以及研究的结果。 1.What quality do joke tellers and appreciators have in common?( ) D A.Attention. B.Creativity. C.Imagination. D.Intelligence. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Telling jokes requires intelligence, creativity, imagination and the ability to tell a story, while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but it demands attention, intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes.可知，讲笑话的人和欣赏笑话的人的共同之处是都拥有智慧。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 29 2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?( ) B A.The results of the task. B.The process of the study. C.The judgement on the task. D.The importance of the study. 解析 主旨大意题。第二段主要介绍了一项给漫画配说明文字的任务，包括参与任务的人数、任务的内容和任务的评分标准，由此可知，第二段的主要内容是研究的过程。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 30 3.According to the text, outgoing people ___. C A.are likely to be funny B.tend to be comedians C.are good at appreciating humour D.embrace new experiences 解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Moreover, outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier可知，外向的人觉得漫画更有趣，即外向的人善于欣赏幽默。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 31 4.What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in Paragraph 4 mean?( ) A A.Being quiet and shy. B.Being easy to talk to. C.Being very successful. D.Being kind to others. 解析 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段第一句可知，研究发现外向的人不太容易有趣，这与作者的研究一致，所以喜剧演员，也就是本身有趣的人则比普通人更加内向。由此可推知，withdrawn表示“内敛的；内向的”，与A项的表述意思相近。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 32 [山西太原2023高二期中] Learning how to be funny can make your entire life much more enjoyable.
