There are many things that make us burst into laughter. This natural show of emotion gives off signals that we are happy and we find something humorous. Scientists have been looking at why we do it and what the benefits are. Laughter is a way of making a sound. When we do it, we make very strange noises — from wheezes and squeaks to gasps and snorts — and each sound simply reflects the muscles in the chest squeezing out air from our ribcages (胸 腔) under very high pressure. Most of the time our laughter is involuntary and contagious (传染性的), particularly between friends. Neuroscientist (神经学家), Sophie Scott, told the BBC that it’s a social emotion. It’s better to laugh with people we like. She defines two types of laughter — spontaneous laughter, where we laugh instantly and uncontrollably, and conversational laughter — where we laugh together with friends. Research found, on average, people laugh seven times for every ten minutes of conversation. The BBC World Service programme Crowd Science examined the science of laughter. It wanted to know what caused this highly contagious repetitive action. It found we use laughter to show others that we’re being playful and non-threatening, and this serves to make and maintain social bonds. Also, people outside of our social group can understand the relationship between the laughters by the sound of our laughter. While our health is no laughing matter, research has found a good loud laugh can help our body and mind —it can make us feel good and relax our bodies. It also helps us manage pain and improve our immune system. That’s why laughter therapy (治疗) is being used as an alternative to traditional treatments. But generally, our ability to laugh is out of our control. When you start doing it, just go with the flow and others will join in. 4. Wheezes, squeaks, gasps and snorts are mentioned to ________. A. prove some people are humorous B. show laughter is interesting C. prove laughter’s benefits D. show strange noises about laughter 5. What may Sophie Scott agree with? A. Laughter is weakly contagious action. B. There are two types of laughter. C. People laugh less with friends. D. People laugh seven times a day. 6. In which way is laughter good to us? A. It helps relax our eyes. B. It cures people of serious illness. C. It helps control pain. D. It worsens our immune system. 7. In which section can you read the passage on a website? A. Health. B. Business. C. Opinion. D. Technology. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了能让人们笑出声的原因以及笑对人们的好处。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Laughter is a way of making a sound. When we do it, we make very strange noises-from wheezes and squeaks to gasps and snorts-and each sound simply reflects the muscles (笑声是发出声音的一种方式。当我们这样做的时候，我们会发出非常奇怪的声音，从喘息声、吱吱声到喘息声、鼻息声，每一种声音都会反射出肌肉)”可推知，咳嗽、吱吱声、喘息和鼻息被提到是为了展示有关笑声的奇怪的噪音。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She defines two types of laughter — spontaneous laughter, where we laugh instantly and uncontrollably, and conversational laughter — where we laugh together with friends. (她定义了两种类型的笑声——自发的笑声，我们会立即不受控制地大笑，以及与朋友一起大笑的对话式笑声)”可知，Sophie Scott也许同意的是笑声有两种类型，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“It also helps us manage pain and improve our immune system. (它还帮助我们控制疼痛并改善我们的免疫系统)”可知，笑对我们的好处是它有助于控制疼痛。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了什么能让你发笑？能让我们笑出声的原因以及笑对我们的好处。尤其根据第五段中的“It also helps us manage pain and improve our immune system. (它还帮助我们控制疼痛并改善我们的免疫系统)”可推知，你可以在网站健康部分阅读这篇文章。故选A。 C Fright started taking over.I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I registered in the local high school in my new town. I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. Anxiously, I reached for the door,opening it slowly.Without paying attention to my classmates. I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice,he answered.“Yes.”His voice made me feel a little comfortable. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In India schools, we didn’t use the technology we had.We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. Again, I asked the teacher if I was in the right class. She said,“It’s still fourth period.” “But the bell just rang.”I said. Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one,she said,“That is the lunch bell, young man.” I said sorry. Without another word I headed for the dining hall. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier(障碍) I had to get through to reach my goal.At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I found my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad. 8. The author attended an American high school because______.

He got the Course Requirement sheet from his classmate. D. He found a lot of differences from the Indian schools in many ways. 10. How did the author feel at the end of the day? A. worried B. confused C. relaxed D. excited 11. What is the best title of the passage? A. My Senior High School in America B. My First day of School C. MY First Impression on Teachers D. The Differences between American and Indian Schools 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者从印度来到美国，在美国上高中。作者记叙自己第一天上学的经历和感受。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future.（我从印度远道而来，就是为了和已经在这里呆了三年的父母团聚，希望美国能对我的未来有所帮助。）” 和“My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town. （我父亲认为我在这里上学会更好，所以我在我的新城镇注册了当地的高中。）”可知，我来美国的目的，就是希望美国对我的未来有帮助，所以注册当地的高中也是为了我能有更好的未来。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In India schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.（在印度，我们有固定的座位，所以我从来不需要担心这个。剩下的时间我都在用投影仪产生的图像做笔记。在印度学校，我们没有使用我们拥有的技术。老师讲话时，我们必须做笔记。）”可知，这里与印度学校有很多不同，座位不同，上课方式也不同等等。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后两句“ I found my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn't so bad. (我看到了我的公共汽车，高兴地坐在里面。我在想，今天还不错。)”可知，作者在一天结束时感到了轻松,“happily”和“not so bad”都能体现出来。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一、二句“ Fear started taking over. I was walking into my first school in America. (恐惧开始占据上风。我正走进我在美国的第一所学校。)”可知，文章主要讲述我第一次进入美国的学校，感受到的与印度的差别。B项，“我上学的第一天”，概括文章主要事件，符合文章大意，故B项正确。 D Why do people long for celebrity news? At least some of the hunger centers around schadenfreude—having joy from the suffering of others. People often act as if joy is dependent on achieving material gain. Seeing people that seem to “have it all” suffer (going through divorce, drug abuse, mental illness, etc.) momentarily destroys that thought. And then people can think, “Perhaps it’s OK that I don’t have my own television show, and own four large houses.” Let’s chat a bit more about schadenfreude and related concepts. If you’ve been alive a couple of decades, you’ve certainly seen plenty of examples showing that money does not bring happiness. But what does bring happiness? One of the keys involves learning to fully attend to and enjoy the present moment—not just learning this as information, but, through practice, developing the skill of living mindfully in this moment. Other keys to happiness involve developing the skill of compassion (同情) and loving kindness. This may seem strange to readers: developing a skill of compassion? Don’t you just have or not have compassion? There are some types of meditation (冥想) originating from Buddhist traditions that are designed to develop compassion and loving kindness. The four related qualities developed by these types of meditation practices are termed: loving kindness, calmness, compassion, and sympathetic joy. Sympathetic joy is the exact opposite of schadenfreude—with sympathetic joy, we get joy from the joy of others. Think of a close family member doing well and notice the joy you feel—that is sympathetic joy. To develop more sympathetic joy, when something good happens to another person, say to yourself (with as much meaning as possible), “I’m happy for you. May your good fortune continue. May your good fortune grow.” When a person, celebrity or not, is suffering, you can practice a compassion meditation. Close your eyes and imagine a scene that naturally brings forth sympathy, such as hugging a loved one, or holding a baby. Then imagine saying to the person suffering, “May you be free from suffering,” or “May your suffering ease.” 12. What can make us happy according to the author? A. Having a well-paid job. B. Owning great popularity. C. Focusing on celebrities’ news. D. Learning to live in the moment. 13. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 2? A. Compassion and loving kindness. B. The origin of some traditions. C. Happiness and meditation. D. Meditation practices. 14. Which of the following is sympathetic joy? A. You cheer up when a celebrity gets divorced. B. You crow over it when your schoolmate gets injured. C. You’re delighted when your classmate wins a competition. D. You’re pleased when a celebrity practices attentively meditation. 15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To show celebrities’ real life. B. To introduce the findings of a study. C. To stress the importance of happiness. D. To correct the negative attitudes to other people’s sufferings. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了什么才是真正的快乐，纠正了某些人对别人幸灾乐祸的心态。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But what does bring happiness? One of the keys involves learning to fully attend to and enjoy the present moment—not just learning this as information, but, through practice, developing the skill of living mindfully in this moment.”（但是什么能带来幸福呢？其中一个关键是学会充分关注和享受当下，不仅仅是把它当作信息来学习，而是通过实践，培养在当下用心生活的技能。）可知，学会关注和享受当下, 我们才能快乐。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Other keys to happiness involve developing the skill of compassion (同情) and loving kindness.”（幸福的其他关键包括培养同情心和仁爱的技能。）可知，作者在本段主要讲述同情心和仁爱。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Sympathetic joy is the exact opposite of schadenfreude—with sympathetic joy, we get joy from the joy of others.”（同情的快乐与幸灾乐祸完全相反，有了同情带来的快乐，我们能从他人的快乐中获得快乐。）可知，有了同情带来的快乐，我们就能从别人的快乐中获得快乐，所以“当你的同学赢得比赛时，你也会感到高兴”符合题意。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Why do people long for celebrity news? At least some of the hunger centers around schadenfreude—having joy from the suffering of others. ”（为什么人们渴望名人新闻?至少有些人的饥饿感是以幸灾乐祸为中心的——从别人的痛苦中获得快乐。）根据第一段“But what does bring happiness? One of the keys involves learning to fully attend to and enjoy the present moment—not just learning this as information, but, through practice, developing the skill of living mindfully in this moment.”（但是什么能带来幸福呢？其中一个关键是学会充分关注和享受当下，不仅仅是把它当作信息来学习，而是通过实践，培养在当下用心生活的技能。）根据第二段“Other keys to happiness involve developing the skill of compassion (同情) and loving kindness.”（幸福的其他关键包括培养同情心和仁爱的技能。）通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了什么才是真正的快乐，纠正了某些人对别人幸灾乐祸的心态，所以作者写这篇文章的目的是为了纠正对别人痛苦的消极态度。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据下面短文，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。 Tips for Staying Motivated To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times.

The organisation is aimed at helping children who suffer from cancer. One day, we were asked to raise money for cancer research and programme funding at an event. Since my friend Lisa was also a volunteer for the organisation, I went to the event with her. There were many people at the event. After seeing our poster, some people came to us and talked with us. But few people donated money. It was a bit hot that day. Both Lisa and I got really upset. Half an hour later, Lisa started complaining, “I don’t think we can raise much money today. ” “Don’t worry. The event lasts for three hours. There is still a lot of time left，” I said, though I also thought poorly of our plan to raise much money that day. While Lisa and I were talking, a little boy of about eight years old came to us. He stood in front of our poster and started reading. After a while, he asked, “What is cancer？” I explained what cancer is. Then I said, “Many people around the world are suffering from cancer. It can be really dangerous. More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less. That’s why we’re collecting money for it. ” “Do children suffer from cancer, too？” asked the boy. “Yes. Many children suffer from cancer. Some of them may die. They need help. ” Lisa said and I nodded. Hearing that, the boy became sad. Then the boy asked, “How much money have you collected？” Both Lisa and I were embarrassed to tell him that we didn’t raise much money. At last, we said, “Not much. ” The boy looked into our donation container and only saw a few one­-dollar and five­-dollar bills. The boy said nothing after seeing that and left. Then some girls came to us and we started talking with them. Neither Lisa nor I thought the boy would return. However, about twenty minutes later, the boy did return. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The boy happily ran to us and asked, “Would you take a donation from children？” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Both Lisa and I were deeply touched. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The boy happily ran to us and asked, “Would you take a donation from children？” Lisa and I looked at each other. We couldn’t believe such a little boy would care. Though we didn’t believe it, we said “yes”. The boy put his hand in his pocket and took out some five­dollar bills. He said, “I just asked for them from my mother. I really want to help the children suffering from cancer. ” Both Lisa and I were deeply touched. We thanked the boy, but he left soon. Looking at his back, both Lisa and I were greatly encouraged. We wanted to try harder to raise money. So instead of just standing there, we went to people and told them about our programme. At the end of the day, we raised over three thousand dollars, a lot more than Lisa and I had expected in the beginning. 【解析】 【导语】本文是以“我”与朋友为帮助患癌的小朋友募集资金为线索展开。讲述“我”和朋友当志愿者，为患癌的小朋友募集资金，很多人路过，但是几乎没人捐钱。当我们沮丧时，一位大约8岁的小男孩过来询问相关事情并离开。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“男孩高兴地跑过来问我们:“你们愿意接受孩子们的捐赠吗?””可知，本段可以写小男孩捐赠的过程和细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“丽莎和我都被深深地感动了。”可知，本段可以写对小男孩的感谢以及之后募集的情况。 2. 续写线索：小男孩捐钱——我们深受感动和鼓舞——我们更加努力并改变募集方式——募集到比预料中更多的钱 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①看着：look at/see/stare at ②感谢：thank/express gratitude ③努力做：try to do/attempt to do/spare no effort to do 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/joyfully/delightedly ②感动的：touched/moved ③深受鼓舞的：encouraged/inspired 【点睛】【高分句型1】Though we didn’t believe it, we said “yes”.

There are many things that make us burst into laughter. This natural show of emotion gives off signals that we are happy and we find something humorous. Scientists have been looking at why we do it and what the benefits are. Laughter is a way of making a sound. When we do it, we make very strange noises — from wheezes and squeaks to gasps and snorts — and each sound simply reflects the muscles in the chest squeezing out air from our ribcages (胸 腔) under very high pressure. Most of the time our laughter is involuntary and contagious (传染性的), particularly between friends. Neuroscientist (神经学家), Sophie Scott, told the BBC that it’s a social emotion. It’s better to laugh with people we like. She defines two types of laughter — spontaneous laughter, where we laugh instantly and uncontrollably, and conversational laughter — where we laugh together with friends. Research found, on average, people laugh seven times for every ten minutes of conversation. The BBC World Service programme Crowd Science examined the science of laughter. It wanted to know what caused this highly contagious repetitive action. It found we use laughter to show others that we’re being playful and non-threatening, and this serves to make and maintain social bonds. Also, people outside of our social group can understand the relationship between the laughters by the sound of our laughter. While our health is no laughing matter, research has found a good loud laugh can help our body and mind —it can make us feel good and relax our bodies. It also helps us manage pain and improve our immune system. That’s why laughter therapy (治疗) is being used as an alternative to traditional treatments. But generally, our ability to laugh is out of our control. When you start doing it, just go with the flow and others will join in. 4. Wheezes, squeaks, gasps and snorts are mentioned to ________. A. prove some people are humorous B. show laughter is interesting C. prove laughter’s benefits D. show strange noises about laughter 5. What may Sophie Scott agree with? A. Laughter is weakly contagious action. B. There are two types of laughter. C. People laugh less with friends. D. People laugh seven times a day. 6. In which way is laughter good to us? A. It helps relax our eyes. B. It cures people of serious illness. C. It helps control pain. D. It worsens our immune system. 7. In which section can you read the passage on a website? A. Health. B. Business. C. Opinion. D. Technology. C Fright started taking over.I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I registered in the local high school in my new town. I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. Anxiously, I reached for the door,opening it slowly.Without paying attention to my classmates. I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice,he answered.“Yes.”His voice made me feel a little comfortable. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In India schools, we didn’t use the technology we had.We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. Again, I asked the teacher if I was in the right class. She said,“It’s still fourth period.” “But the bell just rang.”I said. Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one,she said,“That is the lunch bell, young man.” I said sorry. Without another word I headed for the dining hall. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier(障碍) I had to get through to reach my goal.At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I found my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad. 8. The author attended an American high school because______.

The Differences between American and Indian Schools D Why do people long for celebrity news? At least some of the hunger centers around schadenfreude—having joy from the suffering of others. People often act as if joy is dependent on achieving material gain. Seeing people that seem to “have it all” suffer (going through divorce, drug abuse, mental illness, etc.) momentarily destroys that thought. And then people can think, “Perhaps it’s OK that I don’t have my own television show, and own four large houses.” Let’s chat a bit more about schadenfreude and related concepts. If you’ve been alive a couple of decades, you’ve certainly seen plenty of examples showing that money does not bring happiness. But what does bring happiness? One of the keys involves learning to fully attend to and enjoy the present moment—not just learning this as information, but, through practice, developing the skill of living mindfully in this moment. Other keys to happiness involve developing the skill of compassion (同情) and loving kindness. This may seem strange to readers: developing a skill of compassion? Don’t you just have or not have compassion? There are some types of meditation (冥想) originating from Buddhist traditions that are designed to develop compassion and loving kindness. The four related qualities developed by these types of meditation practices are termed: loving kindness, calmness, compassion, and sympathetic joy. Sympathetic joy is the exact opposite of schadenfreude—with sympathetic joy, we get joy from the joy of others. Think of a close family member doing well and notice the joy you feel—that is sympathetic joy. To develop more sympathetic joy, when something good happens to another person, say to yourself (with as much meaning as possible), “I’m happy for you. May your good fortune continue. May your good fortune grow.” When a person, celebrity or not, is suffering, you can practice a compassion meditation. Close your eyes and imagine a scene that naturally brings forth sympathy, such as hugging a loved one, or holding a baby. Then imagine saying to the person suffering, “May you be free from suffering,” or “May your suffering ease.” 12. What can make us happy according to the author? A. Having a well-paid job. B. Owning great popularity. C. Focusing on celebrities’ news. D. Learning to live in the moment. 13. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 2? A. Compassion and loving kindness. B. The origin of some traditions. C. Happiness and meditation. D. Meditation practices. 14. Which of the following is sympathetic joy? A. You cheer up when a celebrity gets divorced. B. You crow over it when your schoolmate gets injured. C. You’re delighted when your classmate wins a competition. D. You’re pleased when a celebrity practices attentively meditation. 15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To show celebrities’ real life. B. To introduce the findings of a study. C. To stress the importance of happiness. D. To correct the negative attitudes to other people’s sufferings. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据下面短文，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。 Tips for Staying Motivated To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times.
