课时检测训练19　选择性必修第一册　Unit 1　Laugh out loud! 对应学生用书P328 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·广西南宁市高三一模)A study has found that smiling at London bus drivers increases their happiness.The finding feels obvious and unexpected at the same time.For decades，passengers and drivers in London greet each other in an unfriendly mood；any affection feels disgust.While，the authors of the research，which was conducted by the University of Sussex and others，hope it will lead to “more interaction and kindness on buses”．However，Londoners are sceptical. It might seem impossible that a report on London's buses could change behaviour.But it has happened before.London's buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science.In the 1940s，a single study of London's transport workers transformed epidemiology(流行病学)，medicine and the way we live now.Every time you go on a run，check your steps，or take the stairs instead of the lift，you are following a path established by the feet of the workers on London's buses. In the late 1940s，Britain，like many rich countries，was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why.Various hypotheses(猜想)，such as stress，were suggested；but no one noticed exercise.The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn't the accepted fact that we know today”：Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”． At this time，Jerry Morris started to suspect that the too many deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation.He began studying the medical records of 31，000 London transport workers.His findings were breathtaking：conductors，who spent their time running up and down stairs，had an approximately 30% lower incidence of disease than drivers.He also looked at postal workers，and found a similar pattern：postmen had far lower rates of disease than telephonists. Morris's research was eventually published in 1953，and his work had consequences both big and small.Morris now took up exercise，handing his jacket to his daughter and just running.“People initially thought I went_bananas．” But slowly，the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed.

A．It led to the discovery of a new virus. B．It proved the main cause of heart disease. C．It showed the relationship between exercise and health. D．It corrected the misunderstanding of London bus drivers. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段“In the 1940s，a single study of London's transport workers transformed epidemiology(流行病学)，medicine and the way we live now.”以及第三段“The idea that health and exercise were linked ‘wasn't the accepted fact that we know today’：Some even felt that ‘too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health’．”可知，人们追随伦敦公交的脚步，选择走动出行，可以看出此研究展示了运动和健康的关系。故选C。 答案　C 2．How did Morris conduct his study? A．By carrying out a survey. B．By studying their occupation. C．By analyzing the medical data. D．By doing medical examination. 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段“He began studying the medical records of 31，000 London transport workers.”可知，Morris是通过分析31 000名伦敦交通工人的医疗记录数据来开展研究的。故选C。 答案　C 3．What's the meaning of “went bananas” in the last paragraph?

A．How to Increase Drivers' Happiness B．How to Transform the Way We Live C．How Exercise Influenced Heart Health D．How London Bus Drivers Led the World to Exercise 解析　标题归纳题。根据全文可知，文章主要探讨了对伦敦巴士司机微笑，进而提高幸福感的发现，以及20世纪40年代莫里斯研究发现运动对降低心脏病风险的重要性以及改变人们生活方式的影响，所以选项D “How London Bus Drivers Led the World to Exercise”适合作为最佳标题。故选D。 答案　D B (2024·江苏省泰州市高三一模)Norman Lear，a genius producer and screenwriter，passed away on Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 101.“Lear's hit comedy shows changed television forever，” said Darnel Hunt，a leading artist on TV.

By 1971，when he was almost 50，Lear had produced and directed some shows，among which was the hit show All in the Family.In the beginning，it didn't get on the air smoothly.However，once it did，this show made it to the top 10 for eight of its nine seasons，promising Lear's life was to change. This successful show was just the beginning of Lear's dominating position in comedy shows.Then came The Jeffersons，about a family on its way up.It ran for eleven seasons，one of the longest running comedy shows on television，becoming another successful story.When interviewed about the hit of his shows，Lear said，“Our team read two or three newspapers a day，paid a lot of attention to our families，and came in to talk about everything that was affecting us in our daily lives.” Therefore，it came as no surprise that viewers had a sense of Lear's own family after watching All in the Family. “Routinely，Lear's shows might get fifty or sixty million viewers.He was in direct contact with the living rooms and families of the country，” says Marty Kaplan，founding director of the Norman Lear Center.“Lear did everything with humor and sympathy.” [语篇导读]　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了天才制片人和编剧Norman Lear去世的消息，并回顾了他的生平，介绍了他创作的喜剧所取得的巨大成功。 5．What can we learn about Lear from the first two paragraphs?
