It was then that I started to think about comedy.I realised people needed to laugh，to enjoy themselves again，and thought that with a little training I could do it.I took a few classes，tried to work out a routine，and finally plucked up the courage to get up on stage.That first time was terrifying.I had no idea what the audience would make of me. In New York，comedians are typically young men with beards.It’s hard enough to break through as a woman，even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother.As I stepped on stage that first time，people laughed nervously.They were clearly surprised to see me.I introduced myself，stated my age and tried my first joke.There was silence.But by the time I got to the third line，people were properly laughing.I was addicted. Now my sets differ.I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people，or my one－woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100.Even today，I’m nervous before I step out.My first line is，“Hello，everybody.I’m 88 and three－quarters years old.I’m telling you that in case I don’t make it all the way through the show.” Then people laugh and I relax. After a show，people young and old come up to me，saying what an inspiration I am.They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age.I’m pleased I can show that as an older person you don’t need to take a back seat in life. I’ve no intention of stopping comedy.I’m taking all these pills，trying to stay alive，and I hope to still be performing when I’m 100.My goal is to still be up there making people laugh.It’s hard work，but it stops me being bored.I’d only be playing golf otherwise. What made the writer take up comedy? A.She wanted to overcome her fears. B.She wanted to brighten others’ lives. C.She was unwilling to quit performing. D.She wanted to work out a routine. 2.Why does the writer mention young men with beards in Paragraph 3? A.To show the challenge she was facing. B.To explain her attraction to the job. C.To illustrate her special advantage. D.To describe her new friends in comedy. 3.How has the writer made progress since her first performance? A.She now performs before larger audiences. B.She no longer feels nervous before performances. C.She remains on the stage for a longer time. D.She has learned to make a joke of her age. 4.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A.Age is just a number. B.Advancing years bring greater wisdom. C.Old age means a chance to sit back. D.Being elderly means you have to slow down. Passage 2 (2025・重庆高三三模拟）The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement(轻描淡写). Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say，“It’s a little damp outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person，someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour. Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street.They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents(口音), the way they dress and the way they behave.What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh.Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour. 1.Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes? A.The British often stick to the facts. B.British jokes are involved with many different cultures. C.British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries. D.The British try to make out that something is less important than it is. 2.The author explains understatement by ______________. A.describing process B.making comparisons C.following time order D.using examples 3.Mr. Bean makes people laugh by ________. A.using his body movements and facial expressions B.making jokes about others’ accents C.copying others’ behavior D.telling funny stories 4.What can be the best title for the text? A.British Humour in Comedy B.Humour in Different Cultures C.Understanding British Humour D.Developing Your Sense of Humour Passage 3 (2025・张家口高三质量检测)The British are known for their sense of humour.However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement (轻描淡写).​ Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.

Because they are visual—the humor unfolds right before our eyes.As writers,we have a unique challenge to craft worlds,including humorous ones,using only words.​ At first glance,writers and cartoonists have vastly different toolboxes and skill sets.But if you look closely,you will notice similar devices,such as simplification,exaggeration (夸张) and contrast.​ In many literary forms,decoration enriches a piece.That’s not true for humor writing—humor can get lost with too many details.Adding a bit of shading will give depth to an illustration,yet there’s usually no need to detail every feature.There’s a thin line between plain and funny,and the difference often lies in whether a writer adheres to the universal comedic principle,“less is funnier.”By simplifying complex situations,characters,plots and reactions,your work becomes more digestible and humorous.​ Exaggeration is one of the most straightforward and effective comedic tools.As a humor writer,don’t shy away from every chance to stretch the truth,whether by understatement or overstatement. However,effective humor is truth⁃based.The relationship between exaggeration and realism in humor is like stretching a rubber band (橡皮筋).A little stretching,even repeated stretching,is no problem. However,overstretching the band will cause it to break,as well as the humor and the readers’ trust.​ Contrasting is the juxtaposition (并列) of elements not usually coupled,a technique that cartoonists use to create humorous mismatches by placing significantly different elements side by side.As writers,we can use juxtaposition to brainstorm new humor angles and create funny mismatches.​ Humor is at its funniest when it’s visual,and writers can craft more humorous material by employing the same techniques used by cartoonists.By thinking and writing visually,you can show the funny to readers.​ What do writers and cartoonists have in common in expressing humor?​ A.They craft worlds literally.​ B.They focus closely on details.​ C.They employ techniques alike.​ D.They get through to readers easily.​ 2.What does the underlined phrase“adheres to” in paragraph 3 probably mean?​ A.Break. B.Follow.​ C.Revise. D.Challenge.​ 3.What is a way to achieve humor according to the author?​ A.Overstating simple situations.​ B.Shying away from the truth.​ C.Reducing the number of characters.​ D.Combining uncoupled elements.​ 4.Where is the text most probably taken from?​ A.A review of modern cartoons.​ B.An essay on the art of writing.​ C.An introduction to painting skills.​ D.A guidebook for passionate readers. 题型二 七选五（模考真题） Passage 1 (2024·河北张家口二模)Want to lower your blood pressure, lose weight and reduce the risk of diseases? Go take a walk. Walking, as a simple activity most of us do without much thought, offers a host of vital health benefits.__1__ It also contributes to improved bone strength, energy and mental health, among other things.Despite these advantages, our busy lives can be roadblocks.But there are simple ways to help you put one foot in front of the other. Make it a habit.__2__ For busy folks who might forget to walk, you’d better put it in your calendar.Give yourself an appointment—schedule it as “me time”.Over time, you will make walking one of your habits. __3__ To avoid predictability or boredom, get others to join you.Whether it’s a coworker, a family member or a friend, having someone else by your side can be a big encouragement. Make it work.Office types needn’t be confined (限制) to your desks.If circumstances allow, consider a walking meeting.Group discussions can take place during a walk.Or, when you can, walk around the building during phone calls.__4__ Make use of technology.There’s no shortage of high tech fitness tools and apps designed to follow your every move.And it’s certainly fine to keep score.__5__ Instead, use those that count the amount of time you’re walking，ideally 10 minutes or more in a given stretch. With these tips to help you, you are sure to benefit a lot from walking. A.Make it a group outing. B.Make it a family activity. C.Repetition is the mother of routine. D.Seeing these scores can get you inspired. E.And instead of sending email, walk over to talk to them. F.But don’t choose trackers that simply monitor your step numbers. G.For example, walking just 30 minutes a day can lower your risk of cancer. Passage 2 (2025·泰安高三针对性训练)If you see humour as a form of entertainment, you’re missing some of its biggest benefits: Humour makes average⁃looking people look cute and uninteresting people entertaining.1____ Best of all, humour raises your energy, and that can have an effect on everything you do at school, at work, or in your personal life.The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise, and that will raise your overall energy even more. 2____ Humour lets you better understand life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems.So it will be useful to include some humour tips for everyday life. You don’t have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humour.You can be the one who directs the conversation of fun topics that are ripe for others to add humour.Every party needs a straight person.3____ When it comes to in⁃person humour, effort counts a lot.When people see you trying to be funny, it frees them to try it themselves.4____ People need permission to be funny social settings because there’s always a risk that comes with humour.For in⁃person humour, quality isn’t as important as you might think.Your attitude and effort count a lot. Some people—and I was one of them—believe that humorous complaints about the little problems of life make humor, and sometimes that is the case.5____One funny observation about a problem in your life can be funny, but five is just complaining, no matter how smart you think you are.Funny complaints can wear people out. A.You’ll appear fun and funny by association. B.But not all senses of humour are created equal. C.Humour also transports your mind away from your daily troubles. D.Studies show that a good sense of humour even makes you seem smarter. E.The problem comes when you start doing too much complaint⁃based humour. F.You have to be at least a bit self⁃assured to laugh at yourself in front of others. G.So even if your efforts at humour fail, you might free the hidden humour in others. 题型三 语法填空（本单元话题） A The British sense of humour, 1._______ is famous worldwide, has some unique aspects.

It was then that I started to think about comedy.I realised people needed to laugh，to enjoy themselves again，and thought that with a little training I could do it.I took a few classes，tried to work out a routine，and finally plucked up the courage to get up on stage.That first time was terrifying.I had no idea what the audience would make of me. In New York，comedians are typically young men with beards.It’s hard enough to break through as a woman，even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother.As I stepped on stage that first time，people laughed nervously.They were clearly surprised to see me.I introduced myself，stated my age and tried my first joke.There was silence.But by the time I got to the third line，people were properly laughing.I was addicted. Now my sets differ.I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people，or my one－woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100.Even today，I’m nervous before I step out.My first line is，“Hello，everybody.I’m 88 and three－quarters years old.I’m telling you that in case I don’t make it all the way through the show.” Then people laugh and I relax. After a show，people young and old come up to me，saying what an inspiration I am.They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age.I’m pleased I can show that as an older person you don’t need to take a back seat in life. I’ve no intention of stopping comedy.I’m taking all these pills，trying to stay alive，and I hope to still be performing when I’m 100.My goal is to still be up there making people laugh.It’s hard work，but it stops me being bored.I’d only be playing golf otherwise. What made the writer take up comedy? A.She wanted to overcome her fears. B.She wanted to brighten others’ lives. C.She was unwilling to quit performing. D.She wanted to work out a routine. 2.Why does the writer mention young men with beards in Paragraph 3? A.To show the challenge she was facing. B.To explain her attraction to the job. C.To illustrate her special advantage. D.To describe her new friends in comedy. 3.How has the writer made progress since her first performance? A.She now performs before larger audiences. B.She no longer feels nervous before performances. C.She remains on the stage for a longer time. D.She has learned to make a joke of her age. 4.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A.Age is just a number. B.Advancing years bring greater wisdom. C.Old age means a chance to sit back. D.Being elderly means you have to slow down. 答案：B​ 详解：根据第二段中的 “It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realised people needed to laugh, to enjoy themselves again, and thought that with a little training I could do it.” 可知，作者意识到人们需要欢笑、需要重新享受生活，于是决定从事喜剧，目的是让他人的生活变得愉快，即照亮他人的生活。A 选项 “克服恐惧”、C 选项 “不愿放弃表演”、D 选项 “想制定一套流程” 均未在文中体现，故选 B。​ 答案：A​ 详解：第三段提到 “In New York, comedians are typically young men with beards. It’s hard enough to break through as a woman, even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother.”，说明纽约的喜剧演员通常是留胡子的年轻男性，而作者作为女性本就难以脱颖而出，作为足以当他们祖母的老年人则更难。由此可知，作者提及年轻男性是为了凸显自己所面临的挑战（性别和年龄），故选 A。​ 答案：D​ 详解：倒数第三段提到 “Even today, I’m nervous before I step out. My first line is, ‘Hello, everybody. I’m 88 and three－quarters years old. I’m telling you that in case I don’t make it all the way through the show.’ Then people laugh and I relax.”，可见作者现在会拿自己的年龄开玩笑作为开场，这是她自第一次表演后的进步。A 选项 “观众更多”、C 选项 “表演时间更长” 是表演形式的变化，并非 “进步” 的核心体现；B 选项 “不再紧张” 与文中 “even today, I’m nervous” 矛盾，故选 D。​ 答案：A​ 详解：倒数第二段提到 “I’m pleased I can show that as an older person you don’t need to take a back seat in life.”，最后一段提到 “I hope to still be performing when I’m 100. My goal is to still be up there making people laugh.”，说明作者认为老年人也可以积极生活，年龄不会成为阻碍，即年龄只是一个数字。B 选项 “年长带来更多智慧” 文中未提；C 选项 “老年意味着可以退居二线”、D 选项 “年老意味着必须放慢脚步” 与作者观点相反，故选 A。 Passage 2 (2025・重庆高三三模拟）The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement(轻描淡写). Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say，“It’s a little damp outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person，someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour. Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street.They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents(口音), the way they dress and the way they behave.What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh.Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour. 1.Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes? A.The British often stick to the facts. B.British jokes are involved with many different cultures. C.British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries. D.The British try to make out that something is less important than it is. 2.The author explains understatement by ______________. A.describing process B.making comparisons C.following time order D.using examples 3.Mr. Bean makes people laugh by ________. A.using his body movements and facial expressions B.making jokes about others’ accents C.copying others’ behavior D.telling funny stories 4.What can be the best title for the text? A.British Humour in Comedy B.Humour in Different Cultures C.Understanding British Humour D.Developing Your Sense of Humour 答案：D 详解：文章第一段指出 “The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement (轻描淡写)”，第二段进一步解释 “Understatement means saying less than you think or feel”，即英国人在表达时会轻描淡写，让事情显得不如实际重要。这正是外国人难以理解英式笑话的原因。A 选项 “英国人经常坚持事实” 与轻描淡写的特点不符；B 选项 “英式笑话涉及多种不同文化” 在文中未提及；C 选项 “英式笑话不如其他国家的笑话有趣” 也不符合文意，故选 D。 答案：D 详解：第二段中，作者为了解释 “understatement（轻描淡写）”，举了两个例子：一是有人被大雨淋湿时可能会说 “It’s a little damp outside”；二是有人很不礼貌地对别人大喊时，其他人可能会说 “She isn’t exactly friendly”。通过具体例子让读者明白什么是轻描淡写，所以是通过举例的方式进行解释，故选 D。 答案：A 详解：文章最后一段明确提到 “Mr.Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh”，即憨豆先生不常说话，而是通过肢体动作和面部表情让人们发笑。B 选项 “拿别人的口音开玩笑”、C 选项 “模仿别人的行为”、D 选项 “讲有趣的故事” 均不符合文中对憨豆先生的描述，故选 A。 答案：C 详解：文章开篇指出外国人难以理解英式笑话，接着介绍了英式幽默的主要特点 —— 轻描淡写，以及英国人喜欢自嘲和调侃他人、喜欢看关于不懂社交礼仪的人的喜剧等内容，最后以憨豆先生为例进一步说明英式幽默。全文围绕 “理解英式幽默” 这一核心展开，A 选项 “喜剧中的英式幽默” 范围较窄；B 选项 “不同文化中的幽默” 并非文章重点；D 选项 “培养你的幽默感” 与文章内容无关，故选 C。 Passage 3 (2025・张家口高三质量检测)The British are known for their sense of humour.However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement (轻描淡写).​ Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.

Because they are visual—the humor unfolds right before our eyes.As writers,we have a unique challenge to craft worlds,including humorous ones,using only words.​ At first glance,writers and cartoonists have vastly different toolboxes and skill sets.But if you look closely,you will notice similar devices,such as simplification,exaggeration (夸张) and contrast.​ In many literary forms,decoration enriches a piece.That’s not true for humor writing—humor can get lost with too many details.Adding a bit of shading will give depth to an illustration,yet there’s usually no need to detail every feature.There’s a thin line between plain and funny,and the difference often lies in whether a writer adheres to the universal comedic principle,“less is funnier.”By simplifying complex situations,characters,plots and reactions,your work becomes more digestible and humorous.​ Exaggeration is one of the most straightforward and effective comedic tools.As a humor writer,don’t shy away from every chance to stretch the truth,whether by understatement or overstatement. However,effective humor is truth⁃based.The relationship between exaggeration and realism in humor is like stretching a rubber band (橡皮筋).A little stretching,even repeated stretching,is no problem. However,overstretching the band will cause it to break,as well as the humor and the readers’ trust.​ Contrasting is the juxtaposition (并列) of elements not usually coupled,a technique that cartoonists use to create humorous mismatches by placing significantly different elements side by side.As writers,we can use juxtaposition to brainstorm new humor angles and create funny mismatches.​ Humor is at its funniest when it’s visual,and writers can craft more humorous material by employing the same techniques used by cartoonists.By thinking and writing visually,you can show the funny to readers.​ What do writers and cartoonists have in common in expressing humor?​ A.They craft worlds literally.​ B.They focus closely on details.​ C.They employ techniques alike.​ D.They get through to readers easily.​ 2.What does the underlined phrase“adheres to” in paragraph 3 probably mean?​ A.Break. B.Follow.​ C.Revise. D.Challenge.​ 3.What is a way to achieve humor according to the author?​ A.Overstating simple situations.​ B.Shying away from the truth.​ C.Reducing the number of characters.​ D.Combining uncoupled elements.​ 4.Where is the text most probably taken from?​ A.A review of modern cartoons.​ B.An essay on the art of writing.​ C.An introduction to painting skills.​ D.A guidebook for passionate readers. 答案：C​ 详解：第二段提到 “But if you look closely, you will notice similar devices, such as simplification, exaggeration (夸张) and contrast.”，说明作家和漫画家在表达幽默时使用相似的技巧（简化、夸张、对比），故选 C。​ 答案：B​ 详解：第三段提到 “there’s a thin line between plain and funny, and the difference often lies in whether a writer adheres to the universal comedic principle, ‘less is funnier.’”，结合语境，“less is funnier” 是普遍的喜剧原则，作家是否 “遵循” 这一原则决定了作品是平淡还是有趣，因此 “adheres to” 意为 “遵循”，与 follow 同义，故选 B。​ 答案：D​ 详解：倒数第二段提到 “Contrasting is the juxtaposition (并列) of elements not usually coupled... As writers, we can use juxtaposition to brainstorm new humor angles and create funny mismatches.”，说明将通常不搭配的元素结合（并列）是实现幽默的方式之一。A 选项 “夸大简单情况” 文中提到过度夸张会破坏幽默；B 选项 “回避真相” 与 “effective humor is truth－based” 矛盾；C 选项 “减少角色数量” 未提及，故选 D。​ 答案：B​ 详解：文章围绕 “作家如何运用技巧（简化、夸张、对比）表达幽默” 展开，第一段提到 “as writers, we have a unique challenge to craft worlds... using only words”，后续介绍具体技巧，因此最可能来自一篇关于写作艺术的散文，故选 B。 题型二 七选五（模考真题） Passage 1 (2024·河北张家口二模)Want to lower your blood pressure, lose weight and reduce the risk of diseases?
