课时冲关13　UNIT 4　 HUMOUR Ⅰ.阅读A 主题语境：人与社会 体裁：说明文 话题：创造幽默与欣赏幽默的联系 　　Telling jokes requires intelligence, creativity, imagination and the ability to tell a story, while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but one that demands attention, intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes. Besides, there are also clear similarities between joke tellers and appreciators. A new study takes this further and tries to find other connections between creating humour and appreciating humour. The author carried on the cartoon caption (字幕) task. 159 participants were shown more than 30 cartoons without captions and were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of them. Later, independent judges classified those captions based on how funny they were. The results showed that those who produced the funniest captions also produced more captions overall. What was more interesting was that creating funny captions was negatively related to appreciation of humour. In other words, funny people tend to find jokes less funny than other people do. It is not clear why this is the case, but it might be because creators of great humour have higher standards of humour creativity and expect higher levels of creativity from people who tell jokes, compared to those who are not so good at creating humour. Moreover, outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier, but surprisingly, outgoing people are less likely to be funny. This is consistent with my own research that comedians were more introverted than the general population. They usually don't like to express themselves in social situations. Appreciation and production of humour are two different cognitive (认知的) tasks, each with unique characteristics. This is why when someone tells you he or she has a great sense of humour, you may ask, “Are you good at telling jokes or do you tend to laugh more？” 1．What qualities do joke tellers and appreciators have in common? A．Attention　　　　B．Creativity C．Imagination D．Intelligence 2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The results of the study. B．The process of the study. C．The judgement of the study. D．The importance of the study 3．According to the text, outgoing people ________． A．are good at appreciating humour B．are more likely to be comedians C．are more likely to be funny D．are unwilling to express themselves in social situations 4．What does the underlined word “introverted” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Being very successful. B．Being easy to talk to. C．Being quiet and shy. D．Being kind to others. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了讲笑话的人和欣赏笑话的人的共同之处是需要聪明才智，一项新的研究对此进行了进一步研究，并试图找到创造幽默和欣赏幽默之间的其它联系。文章解释了研究开展的过程以及研究的发现。 1．D　细节理解题。根据第一段“Telling jokes requires intelligence, creativity, imagination and the ability to tell a story, while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but one that demands attention, intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes.(讲笑话需要智力、创造力、想象力和讲故事的能力，而听笑话则是一种更被动的行为，但它需要注意力、智力和良好的心情才能欣赏笑话。)”可知，讲笑话的人和欣赏笑话的人的共同之处是聪明才智。 2．B　主旨大意题。根据第二段“The author carried on the cartoon caption (字幕) task. 159 participants were shown more than 30 cartoons without captions and were asked to come up with a funny caption for each one of them. Later, independent judges classified those captions based on how funny they were.(作者进行了漫画配文的任务。研究人员向159名参与者展示了30多部没有字幕的漫画，并要求他们为每一幅漫画想出一个有趣的标题。之后，独立评委根据搞笑程度对这些字幕进行分类。)”可知，第二段的主要内容是研究的过程。 3．A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Moreover, outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier, but surprisingly, outgoing people are less likely to be funny.(此外，外向的人和那些乐于接受新体验的人觉得卡通更有趣，但令人惊讶的是，外向的人不太可能有趣。)”可知，外向的人善于欣赏幽默。 4．C　词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“They usually don't like to express themselves in social situations.(他们通常不喜欢在社交场合表达自己。)”可知，喜剧演员通常不喜欢在社交场合表达自己，说明他们比较安静和害羞。故画线词意思是“安静害羞”。 阅读B 主题语境：人与自我 题裁：记叙文 话题：天才制片人和编剧 　　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. Lear grew up in an ordinary family in Connecticut, where an unexpected accident brought about his father's business collapse.So he had to drop out of college and joined the army.In his late 20s, he moved to Los Angeles where he struggled hard for several years, selling furniture door to door.Later on, unsatisfied with his life, he eventually turned to writing for a nightclub comedy act. 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.” 5．What can we learn about Lear from the first two paragraphs?

D．Lear never focuses on the theme of family. 8．Where is this text probably taken from? A．A newspaper. B．A comedy script. C．A novel. D．A health magazine. [语篇解读]　这是一篇记叙文，讲述了Norman Lear这位天才制片人和编剧的一生，以及他的电视剧对电视行业产生的深远影响。 5．B　推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Norman Lear, a genius producer and screenwriter, passed away on Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 101.(天才制片人和编剧诺曼·李尔周二在洛杉矶去世，享年101岁)”以及文章第二段“So he had to drop out of college and joined the army.(所以他不得不辍学参军)”以及“In his late 20s, he moved to Los Angeles where he struggled hard for several years, selling furniture door to door.(在他快 30 岁的时候，他搬到了洛杉矶，在那里他努力奋斗了好几年，挨家挨户地卖家具)”可知，诺曼·李尔在二十几岁的时候过着艰难的生活。故选B项。 6．D　推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Therefore, it came as no surprise that viewers had a sense of Lear's own family after watching All in the Family.(因此，观众在看完《全家福》后对李尔自己的家庭有了一种感觉也就不足为奇了。)”可知，李尔的节目成功的原因是他的节目反映了真实的日常生活。故选D项。 7．C　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘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.’(诺曼·李尔中心的创始主任马蒂·卡普兰说：‘通常，李尔的节目可能会有五六千万观众。他与这个国家的客厅和家庭有直接联系。李尔做的一切都带有幽默和同情。’)”可知，李尔的节目很受欢迎。故选C项。 8．A　推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Norman Lear, a genius producer and screenwriter, passed away on Tuesday in Los Angeles at the age of 101.(天才制片人和编剧诺曼·李尔周二在洛杉矶去世，享年101岁)”可知这是一则关于Norman Lear去世的新闻，这种类型的信息通常出现在报纸上；根据第二段“Lear grew up in an ordinary family in Connecticut(Lear在康涅狄格州的一个普通家庭中长大)”、第四段“This successful show was just the beginning of Lear's dominating position in comedy shows.(这部成功的剧集仅仅是Lear在喜剧节目中占据主导地位的开始)”可知本文多使用报纸中常见的正式和客观的语言；根据第一段“‘Lear's hit comedy shows changed television forever，’said Darnel Hunt, a leading artist on TV.(‘Lear的热门喜剧节目永远改变了电视业，’电视界的一位领军艺术家Darnel Hunt说道)”可知，这些评论通常用于增强新闻报道的说服力和可信度，也是新闻报道中常见的做法。因此，结合上述推理，可以判断这篇文本很可能来自一份报纸。故选A项。 Ⅱ.语法填空 主题语境：人与社会 体裁：议论文 话题：与朋友交谈，笑声多 　　When 1.______ (ask) what makes them laugh, most adults will tell you it's jokes and humour.

[语篇解读]　这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了当被问及是什么让他们笑时，大多数成年人会告诉你是笑话和幽默。但他们错了。马里兰大学的一位心理学家罗伯特·普罗文不久前发现，我们在与朋友交谈时笑得最多。 1．asked　考查非谓语动词。句意：当被问及是什么让他们笑时，大多数成年人会告诉你是笑话和幽默。分析句子结构可知，此处用非谓语动词，ask与逻辑主语most adults是被动关系。故填asked。 2．a　考查冠词。句意：但他们错了，马里兰大学的一位心理学家罗伯特·普罗文不久前发现，我们在与朋友交谈时笑得最多。分析句意可知，此处泛指“一位心理学家”，应用不定冠词，psychologist的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。 3．found　考查动词时态。句意：但他们错了，马里兰大学的一位心理学家罗伯特·普罗文不久前发现，我们在与朋友交谈时笑得最多。分析句子结构可知，主语是Robert Provine，缺谓语，由ago可知，应用一般过去时。故填found。 4．to laugh　考查非谓语动词。句意：事实上，当我们和其他人在一起时，我们对某事发笑的可能性是其他人的30倍。固定搭配be likely to do“可能会做”。故填to laugh。 5．are　考查动词时态。句意：有趣的是，在这些对话中，我们仍然不会因为笑话而笑；我们笑的是那些在他们看来一点也不有趣的言论和评论。句子描述的是目前的情况，应用一般现在时，主语是we。故填are。 6．reaction　考查名词。句意：这是一种交流方式，而不是一种反应。分析句子结构可知，此处与a form of communication作并列表语，也应用名词，由空前a可知，应用名词单数形式。故填reaction。 7．with　考查介词。句意：关于笑的科学告诉我们笑和笑话没有太大的联系。固定搭配be associated with“和……有联系”。故填with。 8．that　考查宾语从句。句意：实际上，在更大程度上，这是一种社会行为，我们用来向人们展示我们喜欢他们，我们理解他们。分析句子结构可知，此处与前面“that we like them”作并列宾语从句，从句句意完整、成分齐全，应用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故填that。 9．emotionally　考查副词。句意：笑是一种情绪，我们可以用它来和情感亲近的人相处，让自己感觉更好。此处修饰后面的形容词close，应用副词。故填emotionally。 10．enjoying　考查非谓语动词。句意：这对我们享受快乐的心情至关重要——但当环境让我们感觉糟糕时，这可能更重要。分析句子结构可知，空前to是介词，应用动名词，与our构成动名词的复合结构。故填enjoying。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
