Your card WILL NOT be charged during trial.(开始您的无风险试用需要信用卡。您的卡将不会在试用期间被扣款)”可知，如果你想开始家庭试用，你应该提供你的信用卡来开始无风险试用。故选B。 B Dr. Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September. It is the largest study of humour. Participants (参加者) are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favourite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people. The project will last for a year, and the organisers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh. This is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers. Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves. By December over 10,000 jokes had been submitted (递交). This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humour, for instance. “Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humour,“ said Dr. Wiseman. ”Males use humour to appear superior to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer wordplay.“ Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humour. The British enjoy what is usually called ”toilet humour“. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: ”You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?“ ”Yes. What’s the second question?“ The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humour. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe. Dr. Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computers. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us. 4. The purpose of “the laugh lab” project is________. A. to find the funniest joke in European countries B. to get more personal details about participants C. to know what funny people are like from different nations and cultures D. to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour 5. We can infer from the passage that________. A. most of the people all over the world are completely honest B. people tell the truth about themselves only when they laugh C. ordinary people are not interested in “the laugh lab” project at all D. psychologists and philosophers take interest in the ”laugh lab“ project 6. According to the passage, we can safely say that________. A. jokes created by computers are less appealing to people B. men and women have similar senses of humour C. the project lasted one year D. scientists have collected enough evidence to make final conclusions 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Funny or not? B. Laugh louder! C. Men laugh better D. Watch out for the trap in jokes! 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由Dr. Wiseman进行的一次有关幽默感的调查，调查者想了解世界上最幽默的笑话，了解来自不同国家不同文化的人的幽默感，以及男士与女士之间幽默感的不同，同时通过统计得出了一定的结论。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The project will last for a year, and the organisers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour. (这个项目将持续一年，组织者希望最终能发现世界上最有趣的笑话。但也有一个严肃的目的。研究人员想知道来自不同国家和文化的人觉得什么好笑。他们想要找出男性和女性幽默感之间的差异。)”可知，研究者的目的是搜集世界上最有趣的笑话，调查不同的人有什么不同的幽默感以及男女之间幽默感的不同，由此可知AC是错误的；而本次的目的并非想得到更多的参与者的个人信息， B选项也是错误的。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句“This is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers.( 这是一个长期以来吸引心理学家和哲学家的课题。)”由此可推断，这个项目已经吸引了心理学家和哲学家。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第一、二句“Dr. Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computers. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing.( Dr. Wiseman和他的同事们还提交了电脑创作的笑话。但参与调查的人都不觉得这些笑话有趣。)”可知，电脑创造的笑话对人的吸引力较小。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。纵观全文，文章介绍了由Dr. Wiseman进行的一次有关幽默感的调查，调查者想了解世界上最幽默的笑话，了解来自不同国家不同文化的人的幽默感，以及男士与女士之间幽默感的不同，同时通过统计得出了一定的结论。文章的主题主要是关于“幽默”，并且谈到了“幽默”与“不幽默”，故A项“Funny or not?”符合主题，是最佳标题。故选A。 C Gutiérrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families. Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Gutiérrez’s community library is a true representation of how one man’s garbage can be another’s treasure. Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutiérrez. Today, his makeshift community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of and is home in southern Bogota, his home in southern Bogota, his home in southern and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books! As word began to spread about his amazing project, people began sending him thousands more books to grow his library. Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading. Gutiérrez’s journey to give back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us. How might we take a leaf out of Gutiérrez’s books and impact the less fortunate around us? 8. What inspired Gutiérrez to rescue unwanted books? A. The abandoned Anna Karenina. B. Leo Tolstoy’s life. C. Children’s living conditions. D. A community-library. 9. Why did Gutiérrez start “The Strength of Words”? A. To create a harmonious neighborhood. B. To give his mother sufficient books. C. To facilitate children’s reading. D. To improve the community life. 10. What can best describe Gutiérrez? A. Devoted and talented. B. Adventurous and generous. C. Passionate and well-educated. D. Dedicated and caring. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Desire for reading B. From garbage to treasure C. Gutiérrez’s kindness D. An amazing model of education 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Gutiérrez利用在垃圾堆捡到的图书建立了一个面向低收入家庭儿童的社区图书馆，从而变废为宝的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Gutiérrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage.(20 年前，Gutiérrez在垃圾堆里发现了一本列夫・托尔斯泰的《安娜・卡列尼娜》，自那以后，他的生活便彻底改变了。那是在他夜间驾驶着垃圾车穿行于富人区时，看到了那些被丢弃的书籍。这唤起了他从垃圾中拯救书籍的愿望)”可知，那本被丢弃的《安娜・卡列尼娜》激励他去拯救那些没人要的书。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families.(最终，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆，供低收入家庭的孩子们使用)”以及第四段中的“Today, his makeshift community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of and is home in southern Bogota, his home in southern Bogota, his home in southern and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!(如今，他那名为“文字的力量”的临时社区图书馆占据了他位于波哥大南部的家的大部分空间，这里也是图书馆的所在地。馆内藏有各类书籍，包括非虚构类作品。在他收藏的两万多本书籍中，从学校教科书到故事书，应有尽有！)”和第五段中“They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading.(他们想为学生创造空间，让他们花时间阅读)”可知，Gutiérrez把收集的书变成了一个社区图书馆，里面有很多适合孩子们的书，并且他想为学龄儿童创造阅读的空间，由此推断Gutiérrez创办“The Strength of Words”是为了方便孩子们阅读。故选C。 10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families.(他过去常常每天早上把 50 到 60 本书带回家。最终，他把自己收藏的书变成了一个面向低收入家庭孩子的社区图书馆)” 可知他每天早上从垃圾中收集书，还把书变成社区图书馆帮助低收入家庭的孩子，这体现了他的奉献精神，结合第五段“Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading.(尽管为他的社区做了这么多，Gutiérrez还不满足于结束一天的工作。他继续在垃圾桶里寻找阅读材料。今天，Gutiérrez家族不仅仅想在社区里建立图书馆。他们想为学生创造空间，让他们花时间阅读)”可知，他为社区做了很多事还不满足，继续收集书籍，想为孩子们创造更多阅读空间，这体现了他是有爱心的。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段中“Gutiérrez’s community library is a true representation of how one man’s garbage can be another’s treasure.(Gutiérrez的社区图书馆真实地展现了一个人的垃圾如何能成为另一个人的宝贝)”可知，文章主要讲述Gutiérrez从垃圾中收集被丢弃的书，将其变成了对孩子们有帮助的社区图书馆，就像一个人的垃圾变成了另一个人的宝藏一样。故B项“From Garbage to Treasure(从垃圾到宝藏)”最能概括本文主旨。故选B。 D Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have changed the way that people interact and connect on a daily basis. They are changing the face of relationships of every kind. One of the major concerns that have caught the attention of many, is the influence that social media may be having on social anxiety disorders. If removed from their phone for a few hours or a few days, the average person would likely feel anxious about not being “connected”. Most people have probably experienced an occasion in which they posted a creative photo, and waited to see “how many” or “retweets” they received. If this number is lower than expected, the（自我）ego is going to take a hit. There is also constant checking of the number of “followers” and “friends” that you have, and these numbers can have a direct influence on feelings of acceptance and popularity. Anxiety can arise from feeling at a loss when faced with too much going on at one time Multitasking can very quickly lead to increased levels of anxiety. Most people can likely relate to feeling the constant need to check their phone while driving, during meals or at work. This desire is actually leading to increased levels of anxiety. The choice to be constantly connected leads to the feeling of having to always make yourself available. Social anxiety is much different from the anxiety one feels from being offline. It’s a more serious type of anxiety resulting from the fear of being judged by others while in a social interaction. Cases can range from mild--- and are often the cause of a lot of drinking with others to severe, in which case a person may avoid parties and get-togethers altogether. The degree to which social media and technology are changing our lives and introducing new forms of anxiety is anything but deniable（可否认的）. The real question is to what extent are they introducing new disorders or increasing existing ones like social anxiety. It’s certainly a topic worth studying more to determine who is being helped, who is being harmed and how social anxiety can be dealt with. 12. What is the major focus of the text？ A. Human desire for social interaction. B. The influence of social media on anxiety. C. Anxiety resulting from interpersonal relationships. D. The popularity of social media in people’s daily life. 13. How does the author explain social anxiety in Paragraph 2? A. By giving examples. B. By offering statistics. C. By providing processes. D. By making comparisons. 14. According to the author, which of the following can lead to increased levels of anxiety? A. Not being available for get-togethers. B. Chatting on the phone with a friend. C. Using the phone while driving. D. Eating meals alone. 15. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Life changes. B. Anxiety degrees. C. New forms of anxiety. D. Social media and technology. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交焦虑症的起因和症状以及影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段中的 One of the major concerns that have caught the attention of many, is the influence that social media may be having on social anxiety disorder. 引起许多人关注的一个主要问题是社交媒体对社交焦虑症的影响。点出主题，下文随之展开，故选B。 13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的 Most people have probably experienced an occasion in which… feelings of acceptance and popularity大多数人可能都有过这样的经历：他们上传了一张有创意的照片，然后等着看自己收到了“多少赞”或“转发”。如果这个数字低于预期，自我就会受到打击。你还可以不断地检查你的“粉丝”和“朋友”的数量，这些数字可以直接影响你的接纳感和受欢迎程度。可知，本段举例说明了社交焦虑，故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的 Multitasking can very quickly lead to increased levels of anxiety及接下来的举例 check their phone while driving… is actually leading to increased levels of anxiety一心多用很快就会导致焦虑水平上升。大多数人都有这样的感觉:开车、吃饭或工作的时候总是要看手机。这种渴望实际上导致了焦虑水平的增加。可知，开车时查看手机会加强焦虑感，故选C。 【15题详解】 词义猜测题。划线词上一句“The degree to which social media and technology are changing our lives and introducing new forms of anxiety is anything but deniable（可否认的）”提到“社交媒体和技术改变人们生活以及给人们带来新的焦虑的程度不可否认”，由此可知，接下来的一句继续指出 “社交媒体和技术带来新的焦虑或增加已有焦虑的程度到底有多大”是要研究的问题，故they指代“社交媒体和技术”，故选D。 【点睛】词义猜测题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。 1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。 2.根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。 3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测。在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。 4.根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。 5. 根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测。文章中的代词it, that, he, him 或them可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，要认真查找;也有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结，才能得出代词所指代的事。 6.根据同义关系进行猜测。当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或or时，其连接两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的，由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域，由此可推知其大致意思。 7.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测.根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。 文中的小题4，划线词上一句“The degree to which social media and technology are changing our lives and introducing new forms of anxiety is anything but deniable（可否认的）.”提到“社交媒体和技术改变人们生活以及给人们带来新的焦虑的程度不可否认”，由此可知，接下来的一句继续指出 “社交媒体和技术带来新的焦虑或增加已有焦虑的程度到底有多大”是要研究的问题，故they指代“社交媒体和技术”，故选D。 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。 Studying for exams long hours or repeated exposure to a stressful situation may lead to burnout(过度劳累).

D 【解析】 【分析】本文为说明文。文章就如何在学习和工作中避免过度疲劳及其不良影响给出了几点建议。 【16题详解】 空格前一句“Suffering from burnout can result in a reduction in our creativity and productivity.(过度劳累会降低我们的创造力和生产力)”指出过度疲劳的危害性，C项“我们能做些什么来避免过度劳累的不良影响呢？”就此提出问题，下文是一些建议。C项在此承上启下，契合文意。故选C项。 【17题详解】 空前一句“An effective way is to follow a self-efficacy model.(一个有效的方法是遵循自我效能模范)”介绍了提高自我效能的一种有效方法，即向自我效能意识强的模范学习，G项“简单地观察朋友或同事，完成一些有意义的事情”顺承文意。故选G项。 【18题详解】 空处是主题句，由空后一句“Not everyone has creative aspects to their jobs, and therefore, we need to find other approaches to showing ourselves.(不是每个人的工作都有创造性，因此，我们需要找到其他方法来展示自己)”可知，第三段阐述了如何通过找到表现创造力的方法来摆脱极度压力，A项“找到表达我们创造性的方式”适合作为本段主题句，故选A项。 【19题详解】 前句“The consequence is that you are surrounded by a cleaner and more positive environment.(其结果是你被一个更清洁、更积极的环境包围着)”指出了照料好自己和周围事物的结果，E项指出这反过来会让你拥有健康和积极的思想，与前文内容相关联，且E项中“healthy and positive thoughts”与后文中的“positive mental attitude”呼应，故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据空前一句“You can regain some of that enjoyable experience by scheduling regular activities.”可知，你可以通过安排有规律的活动来重新获得一些愉快的经历，D项“每天和你的同伴一起骑车就很好”给出的是具体的社交活动，是对前句内容的举例说明，故选D项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was a boy, my parents owned a small grocery store.

Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did. Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面 )”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her! Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare! “What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” “Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1. Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2. But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. She kept her head down with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school, too. Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. “It’s time for me to make an apology to Landy.” Catherine thought to herself. No sooner had she made up her mind than she announced it to the cool kids surrounding her. Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti? Are you crazy?” But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said. “Hi, Landy. I’m sorry about the spaghetti thing.” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. “I know it hurts you. Can you forgive us?” She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also gained an important life lesson that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Catherine一开始在班上看到同学取笑自己的同桌Landy时，没什么反应。但后来去爷爷家过感恩节，看到一只小鸡由于与其他鸡不同而被啄，联想到了自己的同桌，后来带领班上同学向同桌Landy道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“这时凯瑟琳看见兰蒂独自坐在一个角落里。”可知，第一段可描写Catherine注意到同桌Landy一个人坐在角落里时的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“但是凯瑟琳不管他们说什么，直接向兰迪走去。”可知，第二段可描写Catherine带着同学向Landy道歉后，Landy与其他同学的反应。 2. 续写线索：注意到Landy——联想到Landy的处境——决定道歉——道歉——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低着头：keep her head down/put her head down ②盯着地板：fixed on the floor/focused on the floor ③取笑：tease/laugh at 情绪类 ①吃惊的、惊讶的：astonished/surprised/amazed ②感动的：moved/touched ③真诚的：sincere/genuine 【点睛】[高分句型1]No sooner had she made up her mind than she announced it to the cool kids surrounding her.(运用了no sooner…than…引导的时间状语从句和部分倒装) [高分句型2]From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also gained an important life lesson that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was.(运用了no matter how引导让步状语从句和that引导的同位语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度第一学期第一次月考 高二英语试卷 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两小节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三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。 1.

It is the largest study of humour. Participants (参加者) are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favourite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people. The project will last for a year, and the organisers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh. This is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers. Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves. By December over 10,000 jokes had been submitted (递交). This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humour, for instance. “Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humour,“ said Dr. Wiseman. ”Males use humour to appear superior to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer wordplay.“ Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humour. The British enjoy what is usually called ”toilet humour“. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: ”You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?“ ”Yes. What’s the second question?“ The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humour. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe. Dr. Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computers. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us. 4. The purpose of “the laugh lab” project is________. A. to find the funniest joke in European countries B. to get more personal details about participants C. to know what funny people are like from different nations and cultures D to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour 5. We can infer from the passage that________. A. most of the people all over the world are completely honest B. people tell the truth about themselves only when they laugh C. ordinary people are not interested in “the laugh lab” project at all D. psychologists and philosophers take interest in the ”laugh lab“ project 6. According to the passage, we can safely say that________. A. jokes created by computers are less appealing to people B. men and women have similar senses of humour C. the project lasted one year D. scientists have collected enough evidence to make final conclusions 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Funny or not? B. Laugh louder! C. Men laugh better D. Watch out for the trap in jokes! C Gutiérrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families. Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Gutiérrez’s community library is a true representation of how one man’s garbage can be another’s treasure. Gutiérrez grew up poor and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutiérrez. Today, his makeshift community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of and is home in southern Bogota, his home in southern Bogota, his home in southern and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books! As word began to spread about his amazing project, people began sending him thousands more books to grow his library. Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading. Gutiérrez’s journey to give back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us. How might we take a leaf out of Gutiérrez’s books and impact the less fortunate around us? 8. What inspired Gutiérrez to rescue unwanted books? A. The abandoned Anna Karenina. B. Leo Tolstoy’s life. C. Children’s living conditions. D. A community-library. 9. Why did Gutiérrez start “The Strength of Words”? A. To create a harmonious neighborhood. B. To give his mother sufficient books. C. To facilitate children’s reading. D. To improve the community life. 10. What can best describe Gutiérrez? A. Devoted and talented. B. Adventurous and generous. C. Passionate and well-educated. D. Dedicated and caring. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Desire for reading B. From garbage to treasure C. Gutiérrez’s kindness D. An amazing model of education D Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have changed the way that people interact and connect on a daily basis. They are changing the face of relationships of every kind. One of the major concerns that have caught the attention of many, is the influence that social media may be having on social anxiety disorders. If removed from their phone for a few hours or a few days, the average person would likely feel anxious about not being “connected”. Most people have probably experienced an occasion in which they posted a creative photo, and waited to see “how many” or “retweets” they received. If this number is lower than expected, the（自我）ego is going to take a hit. There is also constant checking of the number of “followers” and “friends” that you have, and these numbers can have a direct influence on feelings of acceptance and popularity. Anxiety can arise from feeling at a loss when faced with too much going on at one time Multitasking can very quickly lead to increased levels of anxiety. Most people can likely relate to feeling the constant need to check their phone while driving, during meals or at work. This desire is actually leading to increased levels of anxiety. The choice to be constantly connected leads to the feeling of having to always make yourself available. Social anxiety is much different from the anxiety one feels from being offline. It’s a more serious type of anxiety resulting from the fear of being judged by others while in a social interaction. Cases can range from mild--- and are often the cause of a lot of drinking with others to severe in which case a person may avoid parties and get-togethers altogether. The degree to which social media and technology are changing our lives and introducing new forms of anxiety is anything but deniable（可否认的）. The real question is to what extent are they introducing new disorders or increasing existing ones like social anxiety. It’s certainly a topic worth studying more to determine who is being helped, who is being harmed and how social anxiety can be dealt with. 12. What is the major focus of the text？ A. Human desire for social interaction. B. The influence of social media on anxiety. C. Anxiety resulting from interpersonal relationships. D. The popularity of social media in people’s daily life. 13. How does the author explain social anxiety in Paragraph 2? A. By giving examples. B. By offering statistics. C. By providing processes. D. By making comparisons. 14.

Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did. Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面 )”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her! Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare! “What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” “Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1. Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2. But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
