B 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 When I was in my first year of high school, I had a terrible time when every area of my life was a disaster. I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible. On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up, and then smiled. Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice: “Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.” He then smiled again and walked away. I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again. That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything. If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that needs hope. 41. Where did the writer meet the young man? A. In the school. B. In the library. C. In the classroom. D. On the school bus. 42.What made the writer feel hopeful again? A. The accident on the school bus. B. The young man’s smile and words. C. Talking to tired couples at the checkout line. D. Sitting with naughty babies in the waiting room. 43What can we know from the passage? A. The writer was thankful to meet the young man. B. The writer made good friends with the young man. C. The writer felt hopeless because of the first year of new school. D. The young man always tried his best to help the people in trouble. C Laughter is a social emotion, so we’re 30 times more likely to laugh if there is somebody else with us than if we’re on our own. We laugh to show that we agree with what someone says; that we remember the same thing that we’re talking about. People will also use laughter to try and mask other emotions. People will laugh to try and pretend they’re not upset, or embarrassed or in pain. People will use laughter to get other people to do things. If you get someone laughing, they will tell you more about themselves. Laughter can sometimes feel contagious (有感染力的). You can probably think of occasions when you’ve been watching television or listening to the radio, maybe it’s been broadcast live, and the presenter or presenters start to get the giggles (咯咯的笑). If you chuckle, the contagion is working. And it’s called behaviourally contagious phenomena (现象), which are things you can catch from somebody else just because they’re doing them. You might have noticed this happens with yawning, it happens a lot with laughter. As you know, there are lots of health benefits from laughing. You are more relaxed when you laugh. So as soon as you start laughing, you get a reduction in adrenaline (肾上腺素). You also get an increased uptake of the body’s naturally circulating endorphin (内啡肽). Now, that is because you do quite a lot of exercise at your ribcage (胸腔) when you laugh. It’s exactly the same as a runner’s high or the good feeling you get after exercising. And interestingly, that’s true of laughter even if you’ve completely pretended to laugh. Unluckily, laughter can also have a darker side. When we laugh ha-ha-ha, breathing out, we do squeezes with ribcage. These big squeezes, particularly if you’re laughing really hard, are quite stressful for your heart and your lungs and that can mean if you have some sort of problem with your heart or your lungs or your blood vessels, you can put them under more strain. And throughout history, there are examples of people who have died of laughing. So if you want to get your endorphin going, you can start by laughing out loud. 44. You laugh to ________ while your friend states his team beat your favourite one excitedly. A. feel much comfortable B. ask for more information C. pretend you’re not upset D. show your congratulations 45. The second paragraph is mainly about ________. A. why humans laugh B. what laughter means C. when humans need to laugh D. how laughter affects one’s emotion 46. What do we know from the passage? A. Real laughing influences one’s health much more. B. You’re likely to keep calm while a TV presenter is laughing. C. Laughing hard is possibly harmful to patients with heart illness. D. You're hardly able to get the same feeling from laughing as exercising. D A café in Toronto refuses to offer Wi-Fi to its customers. Its president, Jimson Biensenstock, explains his purpose is to get customers to talk with one another instead of being buried in their portable devices. What a brilliant idea! Perhaps Mr. Biensenstock knows what medical science has been increasingly proving: Social interaction is an extremely important contributor to good health and long life. In a study begun in 1965, the researchers found that people who were disconnected from others were about three times more likely to die during the nine-year study than people with strong social ties. In fact, they found that those with close social ties and unhealthful lifestyles actually lived longer than those with poor social ties but more healthful living habits. Another study in 1988 showed people who are continually lacking in social contacts are more likely to experience higher levels of stress and inflammation (炎症). These, in turn, can weaken the health of nearly every bodily system, including the brain. Absent social interactions, blood flowing to important organs (重要器官) is likely to be reduced and immune function (免疫功能) may be destroyed. Even how genes are expressed can be affected, damaging the body’s ability to turn off inflammation. In a 2010 report, sociology researchers at the University of Texas reported similar findings. The Texas researchers also pointed out that social interactions can boost good health through a positive influence on people’s living habits. For example, if none of your friends smoke, you’ll be less likely to smoke. Lack of social interactions also damages mental health. The emotional support provided by social connection helps to reduce the damaging effects of stress and can help develop “a sense of meaning and purpose in life”, the Texas researchers wrote. Emma Seppala of the Stanford Center wrote, “People who feel more connected to others have lower levels of anxiety and depression. Moreover, studies show they also have higher self-esteem (自尊), greater empathy for others, are more trusting and cooperative and, as a result, others are more open to trusting and cooperating with them.” “In other words,” Dr. Seppala explained, “social connection leads to a positive feedback circle of social, emotional and physical well-being.” For those seeking a health-improving lifestyle, it’s not enough to focus on eating your vegetables and getting regular exercise. Don’t forget to connect. 47. What is the finding of the first two studies? A. Usual connection to others helps one live longer. B. Blood flowing in our body needs social interactions. C. Poor social ties lead to weak bodily system directly. D. Healthful living habits can be developed in social ties. 48. The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”. A. reduce B. improve C. change D. harm 49. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. mental health connects to less purposeful life B. a meaningful life has nothing to do with social ties C. people having more social interactions are likely to be trusted D. social, emotional and physical well-being have the same value in their circle 50. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To encourage people to develop social ties. B. To explain the benefits of social interaction. C. To discuss the bad effects of social interaction. D. To compare the close social ties with poor social ties. 八、阅读表达。(34-36题每题2分,37题4分,共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever seen shadow plays? The shadow play is one of the oldest puppet performances in China. It was a popular folk drama in ancient China and also the ancestor (祖先) of the films in the world. Shadow plays were once a popular form of entertainment, and they were also used for religious (宗教) and instructional purposes. Simple to perform, dramas were played out on screens or walls for thousands of years, and the shadow play is still performed in China today. A simple lamp and a thin screen were all that were needed for a stage. Things like people, animals, furniture, walls and plants were shown on the screen by placing figurines or figures made of cardboard or leather in front of the lamp. The lamp lighted the screen from behind, and people could move little figurines around for theatrical performances. With added music and sound effects, the plays could be quite entertaining if they were well performed. These were ancient dramas or cartoons, and they were even colorized for added entertainment by using colored translucent (半透明的) figurines. The lamp light cast a colored shadow. One can imagine that stone-age people sat next to campfires and watched stories played out on rock walls by shadows cast by using their hands or figurines. It is said that the Mongols in the 13th century liked to watch shadow plays in their camps. They took the entertainment with them, and it became a popular entertainment in the Yuan Empire of the 13th century. Shadow plays were performed in France when French missionaries (传教士) returned from China in 1767 and put on performances in Paris and Marseilles. It is said that this is how the shadow play was introduced to Europe. The plays were popular in France, and they were called “Chinese Shadows” at first. Nowadays, performers use plastics, computer controlled lightning and machinery, and modern paint and dyes to produce bright and colorful shadow figures. They can produce images that are controlled by computers, and these can be used for animation and entertainment effects in plays. It is difficult for shadow puppeteers to compete with modern entertainment technologies for an audience, but some of them are using modern materials and adopting technology to help stage interesting entertainment in China. 51.

I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible. On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up, and then smiled. Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice: “Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.” He then smiled again and walked away. I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again. That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything. If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that needs hope. 41. Where did the writer meet the young man? A. In the school. B. In the library. C. In the classroom. D. On the school bus. 42.What made the writer feel hopeful again? A. The accident on the school bus. B. The young man’s smile and words. C. Talking to tired couples at the checkout line. D. Sitting with naughty babies in the waiting room. 43What can we know from the passage? A. The writer was thankful to meet the young man. B. The writer made good friends with the young man. C. The writer felt hopeless because of the first year of new school. D. The young man always tried his best to help the people in trouble. 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了在“我”失意的时候一位陌生人鼓励了“我”，给了“我”希望的故事。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me.”可知，“我”是在学校遇到的这个年轻人。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段、第三段的“I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up, and then smiled…He then smiled again and walked.”以及第四段的“I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope.”可知，这个年轻人的笑容和话语让作者再一次感到充满希望。故选B。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again.”可知，作者对于这个年轻人是充满了感激之情，并希望再次遇见他。故选A。 C Laughter is a social emotion, so we’re 30 times more likely to laugh if there is somebody else with us than if we’re on our own. We laugh to show that we agree with what someone says; that we remember the same thing that we’re talking about. People will also use laughter to try and mask other emotions. People will laugh to try and pretend they’re not upset, or embarrassed or in pain. People will use laughter to get other people to do things. If you get someone laughing, they will tell you more about themselves. Laughter can sometimes feel contagious (有感染力的). You can probably think of occasions when you’ve been watching television or listening to the radio, maybe it’s been broadcast live, and the presenter or presenters start to get the giggles (咯咯的笑). If you chuckle, the contagion is working. And it’s called behaviourally contagious phenomena (现象), which are things you can catch from somebody else just because they’re doing them. You might have noticed this happens with yawning, it happens a lot with laughter. As you know, there are lots of health benefits from laughing. You are more relaxed when you laugh. So as soon as you start laughing, you get a reduction in adrenaline (肾上腺素). You also get an increased uptake of the body’s naturally circulating endorphin (内啡肽). Now, that is because you do quite a lot of exercise at your ribcage (胸腔) when you laugh. It’s exactly the same as a runner’s high or the good feeling you get after exercising. And interestingly, that’s true of laughter even if you’ve completely pretended to laugh. Unluckily, laughter can also have a darker side. When we laugh ha-ha-ha, breathing out, we do squeezes with ribcage. These big squeezes, particularly if you’re laughing really hard, are quite stressful for your heart and your lungs and that can mean if you have some sort of problem with your heart or your lungs or your blood vessels, you can put them under more strain. And throughout history, there are examples of people who have died of laughing. So if you want to get your endorphin going, you can start by laughing out loud. 44. You laugh to ________ while your friend states his team beat your favourite one excitedly. A. feel much comfortable B. ask for more information C. pretend you’re not upset D. show your congratulations 45. The second paragraph is mainly about ________. A. why humans laugh B. what laughter means C. when humans need to laugh D. how laughter affects one’s emotion 46. What do we know from the passage? A. Real laughing influences one’s health much more. B. You’re likely to keep calm while a TV presenter is laughing. C. Laughing hard is possibly harmful to patients with heart illness. D. You're hardly able to get the same feeling from laughing as exercising. 【答案】44. C 45. A 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了大笑的好处和坏处。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“People will laugh to try and pretend they’re not upset, or embarrassed or in pain.”可知，人们会笑着假装他们不难过，不尴尬，不痛苦。由此可推测出，当你的朋友兴奋地说他的球队击败了你最喜欢的球队时，你笑着假装自己并不沮丧。故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段内容“We laugh to show that we agree with what someone says; that we remember the same thing that we’re talking about. People will also use laughter to try and mask other emotions. People will laugh to try and pretend they’re not upset, or embarrassed or in pain. People will use laughter to get other people to do things. If you get someone laughing, they will tell you more about themselves.”可知，本段主要讲述了为什么人们会大笑。故选A。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“These big squeezes, particularly if you’re laughing really hard, are quite stressful for your heart and your lungs and that can mean if you have some sort of problem with your heart or your lungs or your blood vessels, you can put them under more strain.”可知，大笑可能对心脏病患者有害。故选C。 D A café in Toronto refuses to offer Wi-Fi to its customers. Its president, Jimson Biensenstock, explains his purpose is to get customers to talk with one another instead of being buried in their portable devices. What a brilliant idea! Perhaps Mr. Biensenstock knows what medical science has been increasingly proving: Social interaction is an extremely important contributor to good health and long life. In a study begun in 1965, the researchers found that people who were disconnected from others were about three times more likely to die during the nine-year study than people with strong social ties. In fact, they found that those with close social ties and unhealthful lifestyles actually lived longer than those with poor social ties but more healthful living habits. Another study in 1988 showed people who are continually lacking in social contacts are more likely to experience higher levels of stress and inflammation (炎症). These, in turn, can weaken the health of nearly every bodily system, including the brain. Absent social interactions, blood flowing to important organs (重要器官) is likely to be reduced and immune function (免疫功能) may be destroyed. Even how genes are expressed can be affected, damaging the body’s ability to turn off inflammation. In a 2010 report, sociology researchers at the University of Texas reported similar findings. The Texas researchers also pointed out that social interactions can boost good health through a positive influence on people’s living habits. For example, if none of your friends smoke, you’ll be less likely to smoke. Lack of social interactions also damages mental health. The emotional support provided by social connection helps to reduce the damaging effects of stress and can help develop “a sense of meaning and purpose in life”, the Texas researchers wrote. Emma Seppala of the Stanford Center wrote, “People who feel more connected to others have lower levels of anxiety and depression. Moreover, studies show they also have higher self-esteem (自尊), greater empathy for others, are more trusting and cooperative and, as a result, others are more open to trusting and cooperating with them.” “In other words,” Dr. Seppala explained, “social connection leads to a positive feedback circle of social, emotional and physical well-being.” For those seeking a health-improving lifestyle, it’s not enough to focus on eating your vegetables and getting regular exercise. Don’t forget to connect. 47. What is the finding of the first two studies? A. Usual connection to others helps one live longer. B. Blood flowing in our body needs social interactions. C. Poor social ties lead to weak bodily system directly. D. Healthful living habits can be developed in social ties. 48. The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”. A. reduce B. improve C. change D. harm 49. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. mental health connects to less purposeful life B. a meaningful life has nothing to do with social ties C. people having more social interactions are likely to be trusted D. social, emotional and physical well-being have the same value in their circle 50. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To encourage people to develop social ties. B. To explain the benefits of social interaction. C. To discuss the bad effects of social interaction. D. To compare the close social ties with poor social ties. 【答案】47. A 48. B 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了社会交往与人的生理健康、心理健康的相互影响关系，并号召人们保持良好的人际交往活动。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据前文“Perhaps Mr. Biensenstock knows what medical science has been increasingly proving: Social interaction is an extremely important contributor to good health and long life.”可知，文章提及的医学研究都共同证明社会交往对人的健康、长寿至关重要。选项A“正常的交往帮助人们更加长寿”符合语境。故选A。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“through a positive influence on people’s living habits”可知，社交活动对人的生活习惯产生了积极的影响，将进一步改善人们身体健康。此处improve“改善”符合语境。故选B。 【49题详解】 观点态度题。根据“studies show they also have higher self-esteem(自尊), greater empathy for others, are more trusting and cooperative”可知，有良好社交活动的人有更高的自尊，更多的同理心，也更加值得信任与合作。选项C“有更多社交活动的人更可能被信任”符合作者的观点。故选C。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“For those seeking a health-improving lifestyle, it’s not enough to focus on eating your vegetables and getting regular exercise. Don’t forget to connect.”可知，作者鼓励人们在保持健康的生活习惯之余，需要保持良好的社交活动。选项A“鼓励人们发展社会关系”符合作者写本文章的目的。故选A。 八、阅读表达。(34-36题每题2分,37题4分,共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever seen shadow plays? The shadow play is one of the oldest puppet performances in China. It was a popular folk drama in ancient China and also the ancestor (祖先) of the films in the world. Shadow plays were once a popular form of entertainment, and they were also used for religious (宗教) and instructional purposes. Simple to perform, dramas were played out on screens or walls for thousands of years, and the shadow play is still performed in China today. A simple lamp and a thin screen were all that were needed for a stage. Things like people, animals, furniture, walls and plants were shown on the screen by placing figurines or figures made of cardboard or leather in front of the lamp. The lamp lighted the screen from behind, and people could move little figurines around for theatrical performances. With added music and sound effects, the plays could be quite entertaining if they were well performed. These were ancient dramas or cartoons, and they were even colorized for added entertainment by using colored translucent (半透明的) figurines. The lamp light cast a colored shadow. One can imagine that stone-age people sat next to campfires and watched stories played out on rock walls by shadows cast by using their hands or figurines. It is said that the Mongols in the 13th century liked to watch shadow plays in their camps. They took the entertainment with them, and it became a popular entertainment in the Yuan Empire of the 13th century. Shadow plays were performed in France when French missionaries (传教士) returned from China in 1767 and put on performances in Paris and Marseilles. It is said that this is how the shadow play was introduced to Europe. The plays were popular in France, and they were called “Chinese Shadows” at first. Nowadays, performers use plastics, computer controlled lightning and machinery, and modern paint and dyes to produce bright and colorful shadow figures. They can produce images that are controlled by computers, and these can be used for animation and entertainment effects in plays. It is difficult for shadow puppeteers to compete with modern entertainment technologies for an audience, but some of them are using modern materials and adopting technology to help stage interesting entertainment in China. 51. What were shadow plays used for? ________________________________________________ 52. How were shadow plays introduced to Europe? ________________________________________________ 53. What challenge do shadow puppeteers meet? ________________________________________________ 54. Would you like to watch shadow plays? Why? (At least two reasons) ________________________________________________ 【答案】51. They were used for entertainment and religious and instructional purposes. 52. When French missionaries returned from China in 1767 and put on performances in Paris and Marseilles. 53. It is difficult for shadow puppeteers to compete with modern entertainment technologies for an audience. 54. Yes, I would like to. Because they are quite entertaining and we can also learn some culture from it. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的皮影戏。 【51题详解】 根据“Shadow plays were once a popular form of entertainment, and they were also used for religious (宗教) and instructional purposes”可知，它们被用于娱乐、宗教和教学目的。故填They were used for entertainment and religious and instructional purposes. 【52题详解】 根据“Shadow plays were performed in France when French missionaries (传教士) returned from China in 1767 and put on performances in Paris and Marseilles. It is said that this is how the shadow play was introduced to Europe”可知，1767年，当法国传教士从中国回来，在巴黎和马赛演出时，皮影戏在法国上演，皮影戏就是这样传入欧洲的。故填When French missionaries returned from China in 1767 and put on performances in Paris and Marseilles. 【53题详解】 根据“It is difficult for shadow puppeteers to compete with modern entertainment technologies for an audience”可知，皮影戏演员很难与现代娱乐技术竞争观众。故填It is difficult for shadow puppeteers to compete with modern entertainment technologies for an audience. 【54题详解】 开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I would like to, because they are quite entertaining and we can also learn some culture from it. 九、文段表达。(共10 分) 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 题目① 55. 假设你是李华，你的英国笔友 Peter对近期举办的“近光讲堂”很感兴趣。他给你发来邮件，询问相关信息。请你用英语回复一封邮件，向他介绍你最喜欢的一次“近光讲堂”，以及主要内容和你的感悟。 提示词语：invite, introduce, experience, change 提示问题：Which speech do you like best?

B 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 When I was in my first year of high school, I had a terrible time when every area of my life was a disaster. I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible. On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up, and then smiled. Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice: “Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.” He then smiled again and walked away. I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again. That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything. If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that needs hope. 41. Where did the writer meet the young man? A. In the school. B. In the library. C. In the classroom. D. On the school bus. 42.What made the writer feel hopeful again? A. The accident on the school bus. B. The young man’s smile and words. C. Talking to tired couples at the checkout line. D. Sitting with naughty babies in the waiting room. 43What can we know from the passage? A. The writer was thankful to meet the young man. B. The writer made good friends with the young man. C. The writer felt hopeless because of the first year of new school. D. The young man always tried his best to help the people in trouble. C Laughter is a social emotion, so we’re 30 times more likely to laugh if there is somebody else with us than if we’re on our own. We laugh to show that we agree with what someone says; that we remember the same thing that we’re talking about. People will also use laughter to try and mask other emotions. People will laugh to try and pretend they’re not upset, or embarrassed or in pain. People will use laughter to get other people to do things. If you get someone laughing, they will tell you more about themselves. Laughter can sometimes feel contagious (有感染力的). You can probably think of occasions when you’ve been watching television or listening to the radio, maybe it’s been broadcast live, and the presenter or presenters start to get the giggles (咯咯的笑). If you chuckle, the contagion is working. And it’s called behaviourally contagious phenomena (现象), which are things you can catch from somebody else just because they’re doing them. You might have noticed this happens with yawning, it happens a lot with laughter. As you know, there are lots of health benefits from laughing. You are more relaxed when you laugh. So as soon as you start laughing, you get a reduction in adrenaline (肾上腺素). You also get an increased uptake of the body’s naturally circulating endorphin (内啡肽). Now, that is because you do quite a lot of exercise at your ribcage (胸腔) when you laugh. It’s exactly the same as a runner’s high or the good feeling you get after exercising. And interestingly, that’s true of laughter even if you’ve completely pretended to laugh. Unluckily, laughter can also have a darker side. When we laugh ha-ha-ha, breathing out, we do squeezes with ribcage. These big squeezes, particularly if you’re laughing really hard, are quite stressful for your heart and your lungs and that can mean if you have some sort of problem with your heart or your lungs or your blood vessels, you can put them under more strain. And throughout history, there are examples of people who have died of laughing. So if you want to get your endorphin going, you can start by laughing out loud. 44.

You're hardly able to get the same feeling from laughing as exercising. D A café in Toronto refuses to offer Wi-Fi to its customers. Its president, Jimson Biensenstock, explains his purpose is to get customers to talk with one another instead of being buried in their portable devices. What a brilliant idea! Perhaps Mr. Biensenstock knows what medical science has been increasingly proving: Social interaction is an extremely important contributor to good health and long life. In a study begun in 1965, the researchers found that people who were disconnected from others were about three times more likely to die during the nine-year study than people with strong social ties. In fact, they found that those with close social ties and unhealthful lifestyles actually lived longer than those with poor social ties but more healthful living habits. Another study in 1988 showed people who are continually lacking in social contacts are more likely to experience higher levels of stress and inflammation (炎症). These, in turn, can weaken the health of nearly every bodily system, including the brain. Absent social interactions, blood flowing to important organs (重要器官) is likely to be reduced and immune function (免疫功能) may be destroyed. Even how genes are expressed can be affected, damaging the body’s ability to turn off inflammation. In a 2010 report, sociology researchers at the University of Texas reported similar findings. The Texas researchers also pointed out that social interactions can boost good health through a positive influence on people’s living habits. For example, if none of your friends smoke, you’ll be less likely to smoke. Lack of social interactions also damages mental health. The emotional support provided by social connection helps to reduce the damaging effects of stress and can help develop “a sense of meaning and purpose in life”, the Texas researchers wrote. Emma Seppala of the Stanford Center wrote, “People who feel more connected to others have lower levels of anxiety and depression. Moreover, studies show they also have higher self-esteem (自尊), greater empathy for others, are more trusting and cooperative and, as a result, others are more open to trusting and cooperating with them.” “In other words,” Dr. Seppala explained, “social connection leads to a positive feedback circle of social, emotional and physical well-being.” For those seeking a health-improving lifestyle, it’s not enough to focus on eating your vegetables and getting regular exercise. Don’t forget to connect. 47. What is the finding of the first two studies? A. Usual connection to others helps one live longer. B. Blood flowing in our body needs social interactions. C. Poor social ties lead to weak bodily system directly. D. Healthful living habits can be developed in social ties. 48. The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”. A. reduce B. improve C. change D. harm 49. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. mental health connects to less purposeful life B. a meaningful life has nothing to do with social ties C. people having more social interactions are likely to be trusted D. social, emotional and physical well-being have the same value in their circle 50. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To encourage people to develop social ties. B. To explain the benefits of social interaction. C. To discuss the bad effects of social interaction. D. To compare the close social ties with poor social ties. 八、阅读表达。(34-36题每题2分,37题4分,共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever seen shadow plays? The shadow play is one of the oldest puppet performances in China. It was a popular folk drama in ancient China and also the ancestor (祖先) of the films in the world. Shadow plays were once a popular form of entertainment, and they were also used for religious (宗教) and instructional purposes. Simple to perform, dramas were played out on screens or walls for thousands of years, and the shadow play is still performed in China today. A simple lamp and a thin screen were all that were needed for a stage. Things like people, animals, furniture, walls and plants were shown on the screen by placing figurines or figures made of cardboard or leather in front of the lamp. The lamp lighted the screen from behind, and people could move little figurines around for theatrical performances. With added music and sound effects, the plays could be quite entertaining if they were well performed. These were ancient dramas or cartoons, and they were even colorized for added entertainment by using colored translucent (半透明的) figurines. The lamp light cast a colored shadow. One can imagine that stone-age people sat next to campfires and watched stories played out on rock walls by shadows cast by using their hands or figurines. It is said that the Mongols in the 13th century liked to watch shadow plays in their camps. They took the entertainment with them, and it became a popular entertainment in the Yuan Empire of the 13th century. Shadow plays were performed in France when French missionaries (传教士) returned from China in 1767 and put on performances in Paris and Marseilles. It is said that this is how the shadow play was introduced to Europe. The plays were popular in France, and they were called “Chinese Shadows” at first. Nowadays, performers use plastics, computer controlled lightning and machinery, and modern paint and dyes to produce bright and colorful shadow figures. They can produce images that are controlled by computers, and these can be used for animation and entertainment effects in plays. It is difficult for shadow puppeteers to compete with modern entertainment technologies for an audience, but some of them are using modern materials and adopting technology to help stage interesting entertainment in China. 51.
