D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了《时代周刊》推荐的四个顶级旅游地。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Culture Trip部分的“It’s famous for the massive and mysterious sculptures(雕像) made by the Rapa Nui people, who arrived about 1,200 years ago.(它以大约1200年前抵达的拉帕努伊人制作的巨大而神秘的雕像而闻名。)”可知，在拉帕努伊岛上可以看到雕像。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lively Spot部分的“The Galápagos Islands...”和“—By Karen Catchpole”可知，Karen Catchpole推荐了Galápagos Islands。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Bike It!部分的“Bogotá is the capital of Colombia in South America. It’s the perfect place for a hike ride.(波哥大是南美洲哥伦比亚的首都。这是骑自行车旅行的理想场所。)”可知，波哥大适合骑行爱好者游玩。故选D。 B The year after I graduated from college, my days followed a familiar pattern. Each day, I woke up on my sister’s sofa and opened my computer to a colored job hunt sheet: Yellow meant waiting to hear back. Red meant “rejected,” usually sent in the form of a polite email. Green meant “accepted,” though that color was elusive. I knew I wasn't alone in the endless stream of “we regret to inform you” messages flooding my email inbox, but it sure felt like it. When I told this feeling to my friend Andi — someone I've long admired for her achievements — she expressed that she felt the same and added “Behind each success you see from others are a lot of rejections, too.” The idea has stuck with me ever since. Now, every time I see a job announcement on social media, I imagine the even longer shadow (阴影) of rejections behind it. There's a reason the rejection hurts so bad — and sticks around with us for so long. This strong emotional reaction may have arisen out of a need to be accepted by other humans and to identify threats to our sense of social belonging. Mark Richard Leary, a professor of psychology, wrote in an article about interpersonal rejection. In fact, a brain study showed that social rejection causes activity in the brain similar to physical pain. Despite the natural tendency (倾向) to avoid these unpleasant feelings, there's been a movement in recent years to accept rejection. Social media users have increasingly posted their rejections in an attempt to normalize it. Psychotherapist Elayne Savage, who has written two books about the subject, said she often uses this approach with people to help them feel less alone in their experiences. “What’s so hurtful about feeling rejected is feeling so alone,” Savage said. “So I try to help people realize it really is universal.” 24. What does the underlined word“elusive”in paragraph 1 mean? A. Bright. B. Rare. C. Unique. D. Complicated. 25. Why does the rejection often hurt so much? A. It causes physical pain in the brain. B. It threatens interpersonal relationships. C. It leads to a lack of emotional reaction. D. It results in a loss of social belonging. 26. What might be Savage's attitude to the movement in recent years? A. Confused. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested. 27. What message does the author most want to give us? A. A rejection can be a redirection. B. Rejection is part of life's journey. C. Good things come to those who are rejected. D. Every rejection is one step closer to perfection. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了拒绝是人生的一部分，并阐述了拒绝的原因，以及对于拒绝的应对态度。 【24题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Yellow meant waiting to hear back. Red meant “rejected,” usually sent in the form of a polite email. Green meant “accepted, ”though that color was ....”（黄色表示等待回复。红色表示“拒绝”，通常以礼貌的电子邮件的形式发送。绿色意味着“被接受”，尽管这种颜色……。）可知，绿色意味着被接受，所以elusive应该与绿色的意思相反，结合选项B项Rare“罕见的，稀少的”意思相近。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This strong emotional reaction may have arisen out of a need to be accepted by other humans and to identify threats to our sense of social belonging.”（这种强烈的情绪反应可能源于被他人接受的需要，以及识别对我们社会归属感的威胁。）可知，拒绝会如此痛苦是因为它会导致社会归属感的丧失。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Social media users have increasingly posted their rejections in an attempt to normalize it. Psychotherapist Elayne Savage, who has written two books about the subject, said she often uses this approach with people to help them feel less alone in their experiences.”（社交媒体用户越来越多地发布他们的拒绝，试图将其正常化。心理治疗师伊莱恩·萨维奇(Elayne Savage)写了两本关于这个主题的书，她说她经常用这种方法来帮助人们在经历中减少孤独感。）可推知，萨维奇对近年来的运动持支持的态度。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““What’s so hurtful about feeling rejected is feeling so alone,” Savage said. “So I try to help people realize it really is universal.””（萨维奇说：“被拒绝最伤人的是感到孤独。”所以我试图帮助人们意识到这是普遍存在的。）可推知，作者最想给我们的信息是拒绝是人生旅程的一部分。故选B项。 C Think back to when the women colored their fingernails with ground-up (碾碎的) flowers. Humans have been using natural pigments (色素) from plants or minerals to give color to things. However, pigments lose the brightness over time. Actually, some of the brightest colors in nature are not products of pigments at all, such as the green of peacock feathers. The green is vivid and can be maintained for a long time. This is what fascinates Debashis Chanda, a nanoscience researcher. These colors are called structural colors. They are created from the arrangement of colorless materials to bend and reflect light in certain ways. This process is like how rainbows are made after it rains. Moreover, the beautiful colors are achieved without absorbing any light. By borrowing the idea from nature, Chanda and his team may have created the world’s coolest paint ever, literally. Unlike pigments whose ability to reflect heat is determined by how dark the color is, structural colors don’t absorb any heat. Buildings painted black structural color are no hotter than those painted bright white. This opens the door for more colorful and cooler buildings without having to worry about the heat. Chanda also found that structural paint weighs much less. Pigments rely on several layers to achieve depth of color while structural paint only requires one thin layer. Take a Boeing 747 for example. To cover the plane, about 500 kilograms of traditional paint is needed while only 1.7kilograms of structural paint is sufficient. This means the structural paint may contribute to higher fuel efficiency with a lower weight of the plane. “Although it is not available right now, the possibilities for the world’s coolest paint are endless.” Chanda said. “Nature has its way to create harmony. So we want our color production inspired by nature to achieve this harmony.” 28. Which aspect of structural colors attracts Debashis Chanda? A. The range of brightness. B. The endurance of vividness. C. The eco-friendliness. D. The diversity of colors. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about structural paint? A. Its process to bend light. B. Its ability to maintain color. C. Its performance to reflect heat. D. Its possibility to hit the market. 30. What can be inferred about structural paint from the example of Boeing 747? A. It is less expensive. B. It may help lower the flight cost. C Its color depth varies with layers. D. It can make the plane safer than before. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Nature-inspired Artwork B. Ways to Seek Structural Colors C. Live in Harmony with Our Planet D The Coolest Paint with Structural Colors 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。本文讲述了科学家通过模仿自然界的结构性颜色，创造出一种不吸热且重量轻的油漆，可以为建筑带来更多绚丽多彩的选择，同时提高燃油效率，尽管目前这种颜料还不可用，但是它具有无限的应用潜力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Actually, some of the brightest colors in nature are not products of pigments at all, such as the green of peacock feathers. The green is vivid and can be maintained for a long time. This is what fascinates Debashis Chanda, a nanoscience researcher.(事实上，自然界中一些最亮的颜色根本不是颜料的产物，比如孔雀羽毛的绿色。绿色鲜艳，可以保持很长时间。这正是纳米科学研究者Debashis Chanda着迷的地方)”可知，结构色彩的生动的持久性吸引了Debashis Chanda。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By borrowing the idea from nature, Chanda and his team may have created the world’s coolest paint ever, literally. Unlike pigments whose ability to reflect heat is determined by how dark the color is, structural colors don’t absorb any heat. Buildings painted black structural color are no hotter than those painted bright white. This opens the door for more colorful and cooler buildings without having to worry about the heat.(通过借用大自然的灵感，Chanda和他的团队可能创造了世界上最酷的油漆。色素反射热量的能力取决于颜色的深浅，与之不同的是，结构色不吸收任何热量。涂成黑色结构色的建筑物并不比涂成亮白色的建筑物更热。这为更丰富多彩、更凉爽的建筑打开了大门，而不必担心热量)”可知，本段主要介绍了结构漆反射热量的性能。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Chanda also found that structural paint weighs much less. Pigments rely on several layers to achieve depth of color while structural paint only requires one thin layer. Take a Boeing 747 for example. To cover the plane, about 500 kilograms of traditional paint is needed while only 1.7kilograms of structural paint is sufficient. This means the structural paint may contribute to higher fuel efficiency with a lower weight of the plane.(Chanda还发现，结构漆的重量要轻得多。颜料依靠几层来实现颜色的深度，而结构漆只需要一层薄薄的颜色。以波音747为例。为了覆盖飞机，大约需要500公斤的传统油漆，而1.7公斤的结构油漆就足够了。这意味着结构油漆可能有助于提高燃油效率和较低的飞机重量)”可知，结构漆只需要很少的量就能涂满飞机，意味着结构油漆可能有助于提高燃油效率和较低的飞机重量，也就是降低飞行成本。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“By borrowing the idea from nature, Chanda and his team may have created the world’s coolest paint ever, literally.(通过借用大自然的灵感，Chanda和他的团队可能创造了世界上最酷的油漆)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了科学家通过模仿自然界的结构性颜色，创造出一种不吸热且重量轻的油漆，所以D项“The Coolest Paint with Structural Colors(最酷的结构颜色油漆)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 D They say that laughter is the best medicine and the effects of humor in medicine have long been studied. But what about the effects of humor on learning? This is the question that “Humor in Pedagogy : How Ha - Ha Can Lead to Aha !” by R . L . Garner attempts to answer. In the article, Garner details a study where he looked at the effects of humor in asynchronous (不同期的) distance learning and discusses the benefits and risks of using comedy to teach. The study involved 114 students who watched a series of three 40-minute recorded lectures. Both the experimental group and the control group watched the same recorded lectures with one exception. Three humorous stories included in each of the lectures in the experimental group were seamlessly (无缝地) edited out of the control group’s lectures. After finishing all three lectures, the subjects were asked to rate the presentations and were then assessed (评估) on how well they remembered the material presented. The results of the study show that humor can be a powerful tool when used in the classroom. The general opinion of the lessons was significantly higher in the experimental group. Students indicated in the “humor” group that the information was communicated more effectively and gave the teacher higher ratings. Further, the students in the group were significantly more able to remember the knowledge from the lectures. While there are many benefits, the use of humor when teaching a lesson can also have its disadvantages. What is considered humorous varies from person to person. According to another study , humor that is offensive (冒犯的) to students can have a negative impact on students’ learning. Additionally too much humor can be harmful as it can weaken the credibility (可信度) of the instructor and result in a loss of focus of the instructional objectives. Garner also warns that just because you are telling jokes does not mean you are teaching effectively. According to Garner, the humor needs to match three conditions to be effective. It must be specific to what you are teaching, targeted to improve learning, and appropriate for the audience. 32. What is R. L. Gamer’ s article mentioned in paragraph 1 mainly about ? A. The advantages of distance teaching. B. The effects of humor in the classroom. C. The ways of changing Ha - Ha into Aha. D. The significance of humor in medicine. 33. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design ? A. Their learning time. B. Their lecture material. C. Their experimental duty. D. Their educational background. 34. What might the experimental group agree with ? A. They were taught effectively. B. Their lessons were more boring. C. They felt disrespected sometimes. D. Their emotional stress was lowered. 35. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph ? A. Everyone’s sense of humor is different. B. Teachers should avoid offending students. C. Using humor in class brings unwanted effects. D. Classroom humor should follow certain standards. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了幽默在教学中的作用，以及幽默应该遵循一定的标准。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But what about the effects of humor on learning?”（但是幽默对学习有什么影响呢？）以及“In the article, Garner details a study where he looked at the effects of humor in asynchronous（不同期的）distance learning and discusses the benefits and risks of using comedy to teach.”（在这篇文章中，Garner详细介绍了一项研究，他研究了幽默在异步远程学习中的作用，并讨论了使用喜剧进行教学的好处和风险。）可知，第一段提到的R. L. Gamer的文章主要讲的是幽默在课堂上的作用。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Both the experimental group and the control group watched the same recorded lectures with one exception. Three humorous stories included in each of the lectures in the experimental group were seamlessly（无缝地）edited out of the control group ' s lectures.”（实验组和对照组都观看了同样的讲座录音，只有一个例外。实验组的每个讲座中包含的三个幽默故事被无缝地从对照组的讲座中剪辑出来。）可知，两组在研究设计上的不同之处是他们的演讲材料不同。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The general opinion of the lessons was significantly higher in the experimental group. Students indicated in the “humor” group that the information was communicated more effectively and gave the teacher higher ratings. Further, the students in the group were significantly more able to remember the knowledge from the lectures.”（实验组对课程的总体评价明显较高。“幽默”组的学生表示，信息传达得更有效，给老师的评分也更高。此外，小组中的学生明显更能记住讲座中的知识。）可推知，实验组可能会同意他们接受了有效的教导。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“According to Garner, the humor needs to match three conditions to be effective. It must be specific to what you are teaching, targeted to improve learning, and appropriate for the audience.”（根据加纳的说法，幽默需要符合三个条件才能有效。它必须具体到你所教的内容，以提高学习为目标，并适合听众。）可推知，作者在最后一段主要想告诉我们课堂幽默应该遵循一定的标准。故选D项。 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 In today's fast-paced and stressful world, resilience（适应力）is an invaluable human skill.___36___Making room for more laughter in daily life is also one of the greatest secrets to building resilience at any age.

Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could take difficult subjects and really learn something. One such course was English Literature given by Professor White. I was extremely interested in the ideas he presented in class. When I took the first exam, I was surprised to find a 75, C-plus, on my test paper, for English was my best subject. I went to Professor White, who listened to my arguments but wouldn’t change his mind. I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that meant because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 75. Again I reasoned with Professor White. Again he listened patiently but remained unmoved. One more test before the final exam. One more chance to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, learned the meaning of “from A to Z”. But my efforts did no good and everything went as before. I knew no matter what grade I got; it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might kiss the scholarship goodbye. 注意： 1.词数应为120左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Before the final exam, I received Professor’s email asking me to come to his office. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A-plus. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Before the final exam, I received an email from Professor White to ask me to come to his office. I rushed in, discouraged and ready to give up. However, Professor White looked at me and said significantly, “If I simply gave you the A’s you expected, you wouldn’t push yourself to continue improving.” His words rang a bell in me, and I realized the wisdom behind his strategy. I understood his good intentions, so I determined to keep working tirelessly. Soon the final exam came. I finished it and waited for the result anxiously. A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A-plus. A wave of accomplishment and delight swept over me. I immediately called Professor White to express my profound gratitude. Without his insightful approach, I would not have achieved such a breakthrough. The next year, I received a scholarship, proof of the impact of Professor White’s lesson: we alone set the bar for our own excellence. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者想要在大学获得奖学金，但是教授英国文学的怀特教授一直给作者不理想的分数，让作者为了提高分数一直坚持努力学习，并最终让自己意识到自己为自己的卓越设定标准，只要我们努力，我们会变得更好。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在期末考试之前，我收到一封来自怀特教授的邮件，让我去他的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写教授向作者解释，为什么一直给他低分的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，我惊讶地发现我得了A +。”可知，第二段可描写作者明白了教授的良苦用心。 2. 续写线索：想获得奖学金——努力学习——被给低分——继续努力——依旧低分——更加努力——想放弃——教授解释原因——获得理想分数——明白教授用意。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①提高：improve/develop/promote ②意识到：realize/recognize/get the idea ③表达：express/show/articulate 情绪类 ①灰心丧气的：discouraged/disheartened/dismayed ②高兴：delight/enjoyment/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1]If I simply gave you the A’s you expected, you wouldn’t push yourself to continue improving.(if引导的条件状语从句) [高分句型2]Without his insightful approach, I would not have achieved such a breakthrough.(与过去事实相反的虚拟语气) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级10月月考试题 英语 (本试卷满分 150 分，共 6 页。考试时间为 120 分钟） 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节(共 5 小题：每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分) 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How will the man express his thanks to Miss Evans?

Each year TIME magazine makes a list of the World’s Greatest Places, which is provided by our readers. They will take us from cities to wilderness, and from tiny villages to faraway islands. Here are some of the best ones. Culture Trip Rapa Nui is an island in the Pacific Ocean. It’s also known as Easter Island. It’s famous for the massive and mysterious sculptures(雕像) made by the Rapa Nui people, who arrived about 1,200 years ago. The spirit of Hotu Matu’a, their early king, is said to have become a sea turtle. —By Johanna Read Lively Spot The Galápagos Islands are located off the coast of Ecuador in South America. They are some of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Recently, marine-life protections were expanded in the area, limiting fishing and cresting safe paths for animals to travel through. —By Karen Catchpole Ancient Past Alentejo is a rural part of Portugal in Europe. It is covered with forests and olive groves. There are ancient cities, too. A museum in Estremoz shows off traditional tiles. In Esperanca, hikers can see eagles and vultures, plus 5,000-year-old cave paintings. —By Robin Catalano Bike It! Bogotá is the capital of Colombia in South America. It’s the perfect place for a bike ride. The city has taken steps to reduce pollution. It has more than 350 miles of bike paths. The city also has a bike share program, which will provide bicycles that people with disabilities can use. —By Kate Crittenden 21. What can people do on Rapa Nui? A. Meet Hotu Matu’a. B. Visit a museum. C Enjoy sculptures. D. See eagles. 22. Who recommends the Galápagos Islands? A. Johanna Read. B. Karen Catchpole. C. Robin Catalano. D. Kate Crittenden. 23. Which place best suits people who like riding bikes? A. Estremoz. B. Alentejo. C. Esperanca. D. Bogotá. B The year after I graduated from college, my days followed a familiar pattern. Each day, I woke up on my sister’s sofa and opened my computer to a colored job hunt sheet: Yellow meant waiting to hear back. Red meant “rejected,” usually sent in the form of a polite email. Green meant “accepted,” though that color was elusive. I knew I wasn't alone in the endless stream of “we regret to inform you” messages flooding my email inbox, but it sure felt like it. When I told this feeling to my friend Andi — someone I've long admired for her achievements — she expressed that she felt the same and added “Behind each success you see from others are a lot of rejections, too.” The idea has stuck with me ever since. Now, every time I see a job announcement on social media, I imagine the even longer shadow (阴影) of rejections behind it. There's a reason the rejection hurts so bad — and sticks around with us for so long. This strong emotional reaction may have arisen out of a need to be accepted by other humans and to identify threats to our sense of social belonging. Mark Richard Leary, a professor of psychology, wrote in an article about interpersonal rejection. In fact, a brain study showed that social rejection causes activity in the brain similar to physical pain. Despite the natural tendency (倾向) to avoid these unpleasant feelings, there's been a movement in recent years to accept rejection. Social media users have increasingly posted their rejections in an attempt to normalize it. Psychotherapist Elayne Savage, who has written two books about the subject, said she often uses this approach with people to help them feel less alone in their experiences. “What’s so hurtful about feeling rejected is feeling so alone,” Savage said. “So I try to help people realize it really is universal.” 24. What does the underlined word“elusive”in paragraph 1 mean? A. Bright. B. Rare. C. Unique. D. Complicated. 25. Why does the rejection often hurt so much? A. It causes physical pain in the brain. B. It threatens interpersonal relationships. C. It leads to a lack of emotional reaction. D. It results in a loss of social belonging. 26. What might be Savage's attitude to the movement in recent years? A. Confused. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested. 27. What message does the author most want to give us? A. A rejection can be a redirection. B. Rejection is part of life's journey. C. Good things come to those who are rejected. D. Every rejection is one step closer to perfection. C Think back to when the women colored their fingernails with ground-up (碾碎的) flowers. Humans have been using natural pigments (色素) from plants or minerals to give color to things. However, pigments lose the brightness over time. Actually, some of the brightest colors in nature are not products of pigments at all, such as the green of peacock feathers. The green is vivid and can be maintained for a long time. This is what fascinates Debashis Chanda, a nanoscience researcher. These colors are called structural colors. They are created from the arrangement of colorless materials to bend and reflect light in certain ways. This process is like how rainbows are made after it rains. Moreover, the beautiful colors are achieved without absorbing any light. By borrowing the idea from nature, Chanda and his team may have created the world’s coolest paint ever, literally. Unlike pigments whose ability to reflect heat is determined by how dark the color is, structural colors don’t absorb any heat. Buildings painted black structural color are no hotter than those painted bright white. This opens the door for more colorful and cooler buildings without having to worry about the heat. Chanda also found that structural paint weighs much less. Pigments rely on several layers to achieve depth of color while structural paint only requires one thin layer. Take a Boeing 747 for example. To cover the plane, about 500 kilograms of traditional paint is needed while only 1.7kilograms of structural paint is sufficient. This means the structural paint may contribute to higher fuel efficiency with a lower weight of the plane. “Although it is not available right now, the possibilities for the world’s coolest paint are endless.” Chanda said. “Nature has its way to create harmony. So we want our color production inspired by nature to achieve this harmony.” 28. Which aspect of structural colors attracts Debashis Chanda? A. The range of brightness. B. The endurance of vividness. C. The eco-friendliness. D. The diversity of colors. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about structural paint? A. Its process to bend light. B. Its ability to maintain color. C. Its performance to reflect heat. D. Its possibility to hit the market. 30. What can be inferred about structural paint from the example of Boeing 747? A. It is less expensive. B. It may help lower the flight cost. C. Its color depth varies with layers. D. It can make the plane safer than before. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Nature-inspired Artwork B. Ways to Seek Structural Colors C. Live in Harmony with Our Planet D. The Coolest Paint with Structural Colors D They say that laughter is the best medicine and the effects of humor in medicine have long been studied. But what about the effects of humor on learning? This is the question that “Humor in Pedagogy : How Ha - Ha Can Lead to Aha !” by R . L . Garner attempts to answer. In the article, Garner details a study where he looked at the effects of humor in asynchronous (不同期的) distance learning and discusses the benefits and risks of using comedy to teach. The study involved 114 students who watched a series of three 40-minute recorded lectures. Both the experimental group and the control group watched the same recorded lectures with one exception. Three humorous stories included in each of the lectures in the experimental group were seamlessly (无缝地) edited out of the control group’s lectures. After finishing all three lectures, the subjects were asked to rate the presentations and were then assessed (评估) on how well they remembered the material presented. The results of the study show that humor can be a powerful tool when used in the classroom. The general opinion of the lessons was significantly higher in the experimental group. Students indicated in the “humor” group that the information was communicated more effectively and gave the teacher higher ratings. Further, the students in the group were significantly more able to remember the knowledge from the lectures. While there are many benefits, the use of humor when teaching a lesson can also have its disadvantages. What is considered humorous varies from person to person. According to another study , humor that is offensive (冒犯的) to students can have a negative impact on students’ learning. Additionally too much humor can be harmful as it can weaken the credibility (可信度) of the instructor and result in a loss of focus of the instructional objectives. Garner also warns that just because you are telling jokes does not mean you are teaching effectively. According to Garner, the humor needs to match three conditions to be effective. It must be specific to what you are teaching, targeted to improve learning, and appropriate for the audience. 32. What is R. L. Gamer’ s article mentioned in paragraph 1 mainly about ? A. The advantages of distance teaching. B. The effects of humor in the classroom. C. The ways of changing Ha - Ha into Aha. D. The significance of humor in medicine. 33. In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design ? A Their learning time. B. Their lecture material. C. Their experimental duty. D. Their educational background. 34. What might the experimental group agree with ? A. They were taught effectively. B. Their lessons were more boring. C. They felt disrespected sometimes. D. Their emotional stress was lowered. 35. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph ? A. Everyone’s sense of humor is different. B. Teachers should avoid offending students. C. Using humor in class brings unwanted effects. D. Classroom humor should follow certain standards. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 In today's fast-paced and stressful world, resilience（适应力）is an invaluable human skill.___36___Making room for more laughter in daily life is also one of the greatest secrets to building resilience at any age.

Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could take difficult subjects and really learn something. One such course was English Literature given by Professor White. I was extremely interested in the ideas he presented in class. When I took the first exam, I was surprised to find a 75, C-plus, on my test paper, for English was my best subject. I went to Professor White, who listened to my arguments but wouldn’t change his mind. I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that meant because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 75. Again I reasoned with Professor White. Again he listened patiently but remained unmoved. One more test before the final exam. One more chance to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, learned the meaning of “from A to Z”. But my efforts did no good and everything went as before. I knew no matter what grade I got; it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might kiss the scholarship goodbye. 注意： 1.词数应为120左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Before the final exam, I received Professor’s email asking me to come to his office. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A-plus. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Tomorrow is teacher's day.
