Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2023·南京外国语学校月考) Is smile just a facial expression？Of course not！It is not only used to express pleasure，affection，and friendliness，but also the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything.It is a time­proven fact that smile is a universal symbol that can be understood by the people of every nation in the world. One day while shopping，I met a clerk who seemed quite unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase.I bought nothing，and marched angrily out of the store.On the outside stood a young man in his early twenties.His expressive brown eyes met and held mine，and in an instant a beautiful，brilliant smile covered his face. The magic power of that smile made all bitterness within me melt，and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.“Beautiful day，isn't it？”I remarked when passing.Then，obeying an impulse (冲动)，I turned back.“I really owe you a debt of gratitude，”I said softly.His smile deepened，but he made no attempt to answer.His companions—a Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby.“Carlos，he speaks no English，”the woman volunteered.“You want me to tell him something？”“Yes，”my reply was enthusiastic and sincere，“please tell him I said，‘Thank you! ’”“Thank you？”the woman seemed slightly confused.I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave.“Just tell him that，”I insisted.“He'll understand，I am sure ！” Although I have never seen that young man again，I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning.From that day on，I was conscious of the power of smile，and I practiced the art diligently.

The researchers reported the findings from a 15­year study on the connection between the sense of humor and death among 53,556 women and men in their country.The team studied the influence of humour on people's way of thinking，social skills and emotion development，and examined death from different conditions：heart problems，infections and other health problems. The findings showed that for women，those who had high scores on a humorous way of thinking had a 48 percent lower risk of death from all causes，a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart problems and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infections.For men，a connection was found only in the risk of death from infections—those with high humour scores had a 74 percent reduced risk.The researchers suggested the sex differences could be due to a small decrease in humour scores as the men aged.No connection was found in the influence of humour on social skills and emotion development. “The humorous way of thinking plays an important role in people's personality and may influence the way people cope with everyday life，”said study co­researcher Sven Svebak.“In this way，it may help reduce fighting in daily life，preventing the build­up of stress.”Although the sense of humour is a natural characteristic，it can also be developed through social activities. “I expect that children whose parents have no sense of humour when feeling challenges are less likely to develop their sense of humour to cope with everyday life when they grow up，”Sven Svebak said.“But if you had a humourless childhood，never fear—studies show people can learn to be humorous at any age.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究表明，幽默感可以降低死亡率，尤其是对女性而言。 5．What can we learn from the first paragraph?

D．By making experiments. 解析：选A　写作手法题。根据第二段中的“a 15­year study”“53,556 women and men”以及第三段中的“48 percent”“73 percent”等可知，作者通过列举数据来展示研究结果。 8．Which of the following would Sven Svebak agree with?

[语篇解读]　文章讲述了二十世纪英国著名喜剧演员威廉姆斯对艺术近乎苛刻的追求。 1．解析　分析句子结构可知，空处作谓语，主语Kenneth Williams为单数，与consider之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，be considered...是固定结构，意为“被认为是”。因为本句是对人物的评价，所以使用一般现在时的被动语态，即is considered。 答案　is considered 2．解析　冠词a修饰名词，所以填perform的名词形式，其名词形式有两个，一个是performance，另一个是performer，根据句意可知，他被定义为一个表演家，所以填performer。 答案　performer 3．解析　上句说声音决定了他对角色的要求，本句说即使他选择了声音之后，他也没有一直用这种声音，前后句之间为转折关系，并且空后没有逗号，所以用but。 答案　But 4．解析　空后的performance意为“表演”，是可数名词，且发音以辅音音素开头，所以用a修饰，表示泛指，指“在一次单独表演中”。 答案　a 5．解析　根据句意“在一次单独表演中，他有时会改变音调或者语速来达到更好的喜剧效果。”可知，空处应使用比较级，即greater。 答案　greater 6．解析　根据本句中and前面的时态可知，这里在描述过去发生的事情，且所填词与空前的felt是并列谓语，所以此处要用一般过去时，又因所填词与主语he之间是主动关系，所以用主动语态，即ignored。 答案　ignored 7．解析　refuse to do sth是固定搭配，意为“拒绝做某事”，所以填to work。 答案　to work 8．解析　分析句子结构可知，空处作伴随状语，所填词与逻辑主语he之间为主动关系，所以使用现在分词arguing。 答案　arguing 9．解析　先行词是scene，为抽象名词，意为“场景”，所填词引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语，所以用where。 答案　where 10．解析　one's own是固定搭配，意为“某人自己的”。主语是he，所以填his。 答案　his 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
