It is famous worldwide for its outstanding collections of paintings, from the Middle Ages to the Modern period.(你将会领略到精美的西方艺术作品。它因拥有从中世纪到现代时期的众多杰出画作而闻名于世)”可知，如果游客想要欣赏西方画作，应该去乌菲兹美术馆。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Boboli Gardens部分“Open-air performances are often held on summer nights.(夏季夜晚经常会举行露天演出)”可知，游客在博尔利花园可以参加晚间演出。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Combined Pitti+Boboli: €22. Uffizi+Vasari Corridor: €43, Children under 18 are free.(皮蒂宫与波波里花园联票：22欧元。乌菲兹美术馆与瓦萨里走廊联票：43欧元。18岁以下儿童免费)”可知，对于有一名18岁以下孩子的夫妻来说，乌菲兹美术馆+瓦萨里走廊联票：每人43欧元，皮蒂宫+波波里花园联票：每人22欧元，两人总费用为（43+22）×2=130欧元。故选B。 B At the age of five, Toni was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare visual disease, which would eventually steal his sight. There was no known timeline or cure. His parents chose to keep it from him so that he would grow up believing he could overcome every challenge. At primary school, Toni tried everything from athletics to academics, from building models to working as a rubbish collector. Particularly, he fell in love with running and ran himself into the top spot at his school’s mile-long running race. When Toni got into middle school, school life was tough for him. Bad eyesight made him a laughing stock, so he discovered early how best to read the moods and behaviour of others. It was a matter of survival in the school yard. Before graduating from college at age 23, driven by his love for medicine, he always developed coping strategies. Realizing reading text books was slow going, identifying chemicals in the lab was difficult and performing operations was impractical, he turned to psychiatry (精神病学), which was something he could manage with his eyes shut. Additionally, he traced hospital walls to locate wards (病房) and chatted with patients frequently so as to make them feel relaxed. In the 1980s, fishing emerged as a great pleasure for him. Toni claims mastering a fly rod (飞钓竿) while blind has been no trouble either, and likes to tell people it’s the fish that do the work because they have to grab the hook (钩子). Today, at age 80, Toni continues to travel four hours north to his favourite fishing ground. The former doctor always says, “Get out and do what you love. Life’s beauty lies not in sight but in embracing each challenge as proof that limitations exist only to be redefined by passion.” 4. Why didn’t Toni’s parents tell him the truth? A. Because he had already lost his sight. B. Because they hoped him to be confident. C. Because the disease could be cured one day. D. Because there was no exact time for recovery. 5. How is the text mainly developed? A. By listing data. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making comparisons. D. By following time order. 6. Which of the following can best describe Toni? A. Dependent and sensitive. B. Irresponsible and. rude. C. Enthusiastic and brilliant. D. Generous and humorous. 7. What can we know from this passage? A One kind act can make a big difference. B. One can overcome limitations with passion. C. Looking on the bright side helps us feel happy. D. Life is full of ups and downs that we can’t change. 【答案】4 B 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Toni的人生故事，包括他从小被诊断出患有罕见眼疾、在学校中的经历、对医学的热爱及选择精神病学作为专业、钓鱼的爱好以及他积极面对生活挑战的人生态度。 4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“His parents chose to keep it from him so that he would grow up believing he could overcome every challenge.(他的父母选择向他隐瞒病情，这样他就能在成长过程中坚信自己可以克服所有挑战。)”可知，Toni的父母选择向他隐瞒病情，是为了让他在成长过程中相信自己能够克服所有挑战，即他们希望Toni能充满自信。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“At the age of five, Toni was diagnosed(诊断) with a rare visual disease, which would eventually steal his sight.(五岁时，Toni被诊断出患有一种罕见的眼部疾病，这种病最终会夺走他的视力。)”、第二段“At primary school, Toni tried everything from athletics to academics, from building models to working as a rubbish collector.(小学期间，Toni尝试了各种事情，从体育运动到学术学习，从制作模型到当垃圾收集员。)”、第三段“When Toni got into middle school, school life was tough for him.(Toni上中学时，学校生活对他来说很艰难。)”、第四段“Before graduating from college at age 23, driven by his love for medicine, he always developed coping strategies.(23岁大学毕业前，出于对医学的热爱，他一直在摸索应对策略。)”、第五段“In the 1980s, fishing emerged as a great pleasure for him. (20世纪80年代，钓鱼成了他最大的乐趣。)”以及最后一段“Today, at age 80, Toni continues to travel four hours north to his favourite fishing ground. (如今，80岁的Toni仍然会向北驱车四小时，前往他最爱的钓鱼地点。)”可知，整篇文章按照时间先后顺序展开叙述。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Before graduating from college at age 23, driven by his love for medicine, he always developed coping strategies. Realizing reading text books was slow going, identifying chemicals in the lab was difficult and performing operations was impractical, he turned to psychiatry (精神病学), which was something he could manage with his eyes shut. Additionally, he traced hospital walls to locate wards (病房) and chatted with patients frequently so as to make them feel relaxed.( 23岁大学毕业前，出于对医学的热爱，他一直在摸索应对策略。他意识到，阅读课本进度缓慢，在实验室识别化学物质很困难，做手术更是不现实，于是他转向了精神病学——这是一个他闭着眼睛也能从事的领域。此外，他会沿着医院的墙壁摸索着找到病房，还经常和病人聊天，让他们感到放松。)”以及第五段“In the 1980s, fishing emerged as a great pleasure for him. (20世纪80年代，钓鱼成了他最大的乐趣。)”可知，Toni大学时因热爱医学转向精神病学并努力应对工作中的困难，还通过与病人聊天让他们放松，晚年仍坚持自己热爱的钓鱼，始终积极面对生活，展现出对生活和事业的热情；再根据第五段“Toni claims mastering a fly rod (飞钓竿) while blind has been no trouble either, and likes to tell people it’s the fish that do the work because they have to grab the hook (钩子).(Toni说，失明后掌握飞钓竿对他来说也毫无难度，而且他喜欢告诉人们，其实是鱼在“干活”，因为鱼得自己咬住鱼钩。)”可知，Toni非常聪慧。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The former doctor always says, “Get out and do what you love. Life’s beauty lies not in sight but in embracing each challenge as proof that limitations exist only to be redefined by passion.”(这位前医生总是说：“走出去，去做你热爱的事。生活的美好不在于视觉所见，而在于拥抱每一个挑战——这证明，所谓的局限存在的意义，就是为了被热情重新定义。”)”以及Toni一生的经历：尽管视力逐渐丧失，却凭借热情在跑步、医学（精神病学）、钓鱼等领域不断突破，可知一个人可以用热情克服局限。故选B。 C Most people can point to an experience in their lives where personal relationships have caused them emotional harm. However, does building better relationships with others have to involve the risk of getting hurt? One popular theory is the hedgehog’s dilemma, also called the porcupine’s dilemma. It has its roots in the thinking of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who proposed that, even with the best of intentions, humans harm each other when they attempt to have intimate and friendly relationships. It goes like this. One cold winter night, a group of porcupines gathered to keep warm, but they hurt each other with their quills, forcing them to move apart. When feeling cold, they moved closer, only to be hurt again. Repeatedly, they eventually found the ideal distance. So the theory ends with the advice: Keep your distance. However, keeping distance is not enough. If you’ve been hurt before, it might be that your quills are up, and you’ve fallen into defence(防御) mode. Hilary, a psychologist, points to some examples of common defence mode such as going blank and regarding the present reaction as criticism. Most of these defensive reactions originate from early experiences of hurt. “In treatments, if people can be helped to recognize the defences by tracking back through the personal experiences, they can be encouraged to be understanding. Then they, have a chance to change and not just repeat old behaviors,” Hilary suggests. “Defences need to be respected and not knocked down in one step. Removing one brick at a time from the wall is very important.” Unlike hedgehogs, humans don’t come with the quills built in. So, when we learn to lower our defences for safe, loving people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all. 8. Why does the author raise a question in the first paragraph? A. To give examples. B. To lead to a story. C. To inspire reflection. D. To express concern. 9. What does the underlined word “intimate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Permanent. B. Detailed. C. Independent. D. Close. 10. What does Hilary advise people to do when bringing down defences? A. Address problems with patience. B. Avoid discussing past experiences. C. Immediately remove self-protection. D. Accept the behaviour without changing 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. Psychology Today. B. Wildlife Focus. C. Technology Review. D. Runner’s World. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍刺猬困境理论及人类在人际关系中如何放下防御。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Most people can point to an experience in their lives where personal relationships have caused them emotional harm. However, does building better relationships with others have to involve the risk of getting hurt?(大多数人都能举出生活中人际关系给他们带来情感伤害的经历。然而，建立更好的人际关系就一定要冒受伤的风险吗？)”可知，作者在第一段提出问题是为了引发读者思考。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“One popular theory is the hedgehog’s dilemma, also called the porcupine’s dilemma. It has its roots in the thinking of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who proposed that, even with the best of intentions, humans harm each other when they attempt to have intimate and friendly relationships.(一个流行的理论是刺猬困境，也被称为豪猪困境。它源于德国哲学家亚瑟·叔本华的思想，他提出，即使出于最好的意图，当人类试图建立intimate友好的关系时，也会彼此伤害。)”可知，“intimate”与“friendly”并列，结合语境，应表示“亲密的”，与“Close”意思相近。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Defences need to be respected and not knocked down in one step. Removing one brick at a time from the wall is very important.(防御需要被尊重，不能一步就被打破。一次从墙上拆下一块砖是非常重要的。)”可知，希拉里建议人们在放下防御时要有耐心，循序渐进地解决问题。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Hilary, a psychologist, points to some examples of common defence mode such as going blank and regarding the present reaction as criticism.(心理学家希拉里指出了一些常见的防御模式，比如大脑一片空白，把当前的反应视为批评。)”以及全文围绕人际关系中的情感伤害、防御机制等内容可知，本文最可能来自《今日心理学》。故选A项。 D Novelists have different ways of describing laughter. Characters can wear a big smile, be all smiles, crack a smile, grin from ear to ear, break into a smile and so on. The richness of language may suggest that laughter has limitless diversity (多样性). However, it may be wrong. A new study led by Dr Roza Kamiloglu, provides evidence that there are just two main types of laughter: one generated when people find something funny and one that can be caused only through the physical act of tickling (挠痒痒). Dr Kamiloglu instructed assistants to collect 887 videos that were then classified (分类), ranging from tickle attacks to laughing for other factors. About 70% of these videos were used to train a machine-learning algorithm (算法) to classify laughter by reasons. The algorithm was then asked to classify the remaining 30% and correctly identified laughter produced by tickling 62.5% of the time. All other forms of laughter, whether they came from viewing stand-up comedy or practical jokes, were difficult to tell apart. This suggested there was something unique about the tickling laughter. When Dr Kamiloglu ran the experiment again, asking human observers to classify the laughter, a similar result showed: Human observers correctly identified tickling laughter 61.2% of the time. The findings made scientists reflect on the roots of laughter. After all, humans are not the only animals that can laugh and tickle. This points to the fact that laughter from tickling evolved (演变) over 10 million years ago. This early sort of laughter probably evolved to help primates (灵长目动物) build friendly relations. As for other forms of laughter, they probably evolved millions of years after tickling, when human brain became complex enough to understand deeper meanings. 12. What does the underline word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The richness of human language. B. The approach to describing laughter. C. The idea of countless kinds of laughter. D. The complexity of classifying laughter. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The contents of the videos. B. The process of the research. C. The methods of generating laughter. D. The working principle of the algorithm. 14. What can we learn from the research findings? A. Tickling laughter evolved much later than others. B. All the forms of laughter are difficult to tell apart. C. Primates use tickling to build pleasant relationships. D. Humans’ laughter is far more complex than primates’. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. The Origin of Laughter: All Starts from Tickling. B. Laughter in Animals: How do Primates Build Relations? C. The Language of Laughter: How do Writers Describe Joy? D. Types of Laughter: Humans Laugh in Two Different Ways. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究发现笑声主要有两种类型，以及相关研究过程和起源等内容。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“The richness of language may suggest that laughter has limitless diversity (多样性). However, it may be wrong. (语言的丰富性可能表明笑声有无限的多样性。然而，这可能是错误的。)”可知，“it”指代前文提到的“笑声有无限多样性”这一观点。故选C项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Dr Kamiloglu instructed assistants to collect 887 videos that were then classified (分类), ranging from tickle attacks to laughing for other factors. About 70% of these videos were used to train a machine-learning algorithm (算法) to classify laughter by reasons. The algorithm was then asked to classify the remaining 30% and correctly identified laughter produced by tickling 62.5% of the time. (卡米洛格鲁博士指示助手收集了887个视频，然后对这些视频进行了分类，范围从挠痒痒引发的笑到因其他因素引发的笑。这些视频中约70%被用来训练一种机器学习算法，根据原因对笑声进行分类。然后，该算法被要求对剩下的30%进行分类，在62.5%的情况下正确识别出了挠痒痒产生的笑声。)”以及“When Dr Kamiloglu ran the experiment again, asking human observers to classify the laughter, a similar result showed: Human observers correctly identified tickling laughter 61.2% of the time. (当卡米洛格鲁博士再次进行实验，让人类观察者对笑声进行分类时，出现了相似的结果：人类观察者对挠痒痒引发的笑声的正确识别率为 61.2%。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了研究的过程。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This early sort of laughter probably evolved to help primates (灵长目动物) build friendly relations. (这种早期的笑声可能是为了帮助灵长目动物建立友好的关系而进化来的。)”可知，灵长目动物用挠痒痒产生的笑声来建立愉快的关系。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“A new study led by Dr Roza Kamiloglu, provides evidence that there are just two main types of laughter: one generated when people find something funny and one that can be caused only through the physical act of tickling (挠痒痒). (罗扎·卡米洛格鲁博士领导的一项新研究提供了证据，表明笑声主要有两种类型：一种是人们觉得某事有趣时产生的，另一种是只能通过挠痒痒这一身体行为引起的。)”可知，文章主要介绍了笑声主要有两种类型，因此“笑声的类型：人类以两种不同方式笑”概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 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。 Ice climbing is a lot like rock climbing, but it’s done on ice using special tools.

You’ll do the solo in the school hall that day.” My throat tightened. I stared at her for a while. The band director was looking right at me. So was everyone else. Saying no to Ms. Reed was like trying to stop an avalanche (雪崩). “OK!” I said unwillingly, trying to hide my hopelessness. In fact, stage fright wasn’t just a fear; it was a storm I couldn’t escape. Kelly, the violin star, passed me and made fun of me. “You’ve never done a solo, right? Don’t mess up! By the way, the Youth Symphony’s (青年交响乐团的) director is coming. I’m sure he’ll love your nerves.” Her words felt like a knife, I’d dreamed of playing in the Youth Symphony for a long time. However, I could only play great in the basement (地下室) of my home. It’s comfortable down there — just me, my sax (萨克斯), my music stand and a couple of spiders(蜘蛛) as my audience. I like to practice at night, and no one can hear me in the basement. When I got home, I began to think about the performance piece. I grabbed a sheet of music, “Summertime.” I spent hours practicing and perfecting it. But doubt washed over me. “What if I freeze?” I was in low spirits for several days. “You’re not alone,” Jill, my best friend, said in a low voice one day after school and came along with me to my basement. “Imagine the crowd is a group of spiders (蜘蛛),” she suggested. Her thought felt funny, but her support relieved my anxiety a little. “It’s no use. I just felt comfortable here,” I replied. “If I could do my solo here, it’d be no problem.” “Why can’t the school hall feel like your basement?” Jill shouted excitedly. “Will it work if you see a photo of your basement?” 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。 Hearing her words, I suddenly had an idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Ms. Reed signaled to me, I stood up with a photo taped on my sax. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Hearing her words, I suddenly had an idea. I took out my phone and snapped a few pictures of my basement — the dusty floor, the old chair, even the corner where the spiders lived. I printed one and taped it to my sax. Every day until the performance, I practiced in front of the photo. Slowly, the fear that once choked me began to loosen its grip. Jill came every evening to listen and cheer me on. Her presence made me believe that maybe, just maybe, I could do this. I told myself the school hall would be just another room, and the audience — just another group of spiders. When Ms. Reed signaled to me, I stood up with a photo taped on my sax. My heart was pounding, but I took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. The hall was full, and the Youth Symphony’s director sat in the front row. I looked down at the photo on my sax and smiled slightly. Then I began to play “Summertime.” The notes flowed smoothly, just like in my basement. As I played, I forgot the crowd, forgot Kelly, and even forgot myself. The music carried me away. When I finished, silence filled the hall for a second — then loud applause. I did it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以凯文的萨克斯独奏经历为线索，讲述了凯文被乐队指挥里德女士安排在学校礼堂独奏，却因严重的舞台恐惧症而倍感绝望。在好友吉尔的建议下，他尝试将学校礼堂想象成自己熟悉的地下室，并想到用地下室照片来缓解紧张的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听到她的话，我突然有了一个主意。”可知，第一段可描写凯文拍下地下室的照片贴在萨克斯上，每天对着照片练习，在吉尔的鼓励下，逐渐减轻恐惧，开始相信自己能完成独奏的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当里德女士向我示意时，我站起身来，萨克斯上贴着那张照片。”可知，第二段可描写凯文在里德女士示意下上台，看着萨克斯上的照片，平静地演奏《夏日时光》，最终成功完成独奏，赢得掌声的情景。 2. 续写线索：产生想法——拍摄照片——练习缓解恐惧——上台演奏——成功完成——获得掌声 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①拍摄照片：snap a few pictures /take a few photos ②练习：practice/keep practicing ③演奏：play/perform 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/terror ②鼓励：cheer on/encourage 【点睛】[高分句型1] Slowly, the fear that once choked me began to loosen its grip.（运用了that引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] As I played, I forgot the crowd, forgot Kelly, and even forgot myself.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] When I finished, silence filled the hall for a second — then loud applause.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 大连市2024～2025学年度第二学期期末考试 高一英语 注意率项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的名字、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B At the age of five, Toni was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare visual disease, which would eventually steal his sight. There was no known timeline or cure. His parents chose to keep it from him so that he would grow up believing he could overcome every challenge. At primary school, Toni tried everything from athletics to academics, from building models to working as a rubbish collector. Particularly, he fell in love with running and ran himself into the top spot at his school’s mile-long running race. When Toni got into middle school, school life was tough for him. Bad eyesight made him a laughing stock, so he discovered early how best to read the moods and behaviour of others. It was a matter of survival in the school yard. Before graduating from college at age 23, driven by his love for medicine, he always developed coping strategies. Realizing reading text books was slow going, identifying chemicals in the lab was difficult and performing operations was impractical, he turned to psychiatry (精神病学), which was something he could manage with his eyes shut. Additionally, he traced hospital walls to locate wards (病房) and chatted with patients frequently so as to make them feel relaxed. In the 1980s, fishing emerged as a great pleasure for him. Toni claims mastering a fly rod (飞钓竿) while blind has been no trouble either, and likes to tell people it’s the fish that do the work because they have to grab the hook (钩子). Today, at age 80, Toni continues to travel four hours north to his favourite fishing ground. The former doctor always says, “Get out and do what you love. Life’s beauty lies not in sight but in embracing each challenge as proof that limitations exist only to be redefined by passion.” 4. Why didn’t Toni’s parents tell him the truth? A. Because he had already lost his sight. B. Because they hoped him to be confident. C. Because the disease could be cured one day. D. Because there was no exact time for recovery. 5. How is the text mainly developed? A. By listing data. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making comparisons. D. By following time order. 6. Which of the following can best describe Toni? A. Dependent and sensitive. B. Irresponsible and. rude. C. Enthusiastic and brilliant. D. Generous and humorous. 7. What can we know from this passage? A. One kind act can make a big difference. B. One can overcome limitations with passion. C. Looking on the bright side helps us feel happy. D. Life is full of ups and downs that we can’t change. C Most people can point to an experience in their lives where personal relationships have caused them emotional harm. However, does building better relationships with others have to involve the risk of getting hurt? One popular theory is the hedgehog’s dilemma, also called the porcupine’s dilemma. It has its roots in the thinking of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who proposed that, even with the best of intentions, humans harm each other when they attempt to have intimate and friendly relationships. It goes like this. One cold winter night, a group of porcupines gathered to keep warm, but they hurt each other with their quills, forcing them to move apart. When feeling cold, they moved closer, only to be hurt again. Repeatedly, they eventually found the ideal distance. So the theory ends with the advice: Keep your distance. However, keeping distance is not enough. If you’ve been hurt before, it might be that your quills are up, and you’ve fallen into defence(防御) mode. Hilary, a psychologist, points to some examples of common defence mode such as going blank and regarding the present reaction as criticism. Most of these defensive reactions originate from early experiences of hurt. “In treatments, if people can be helped to recognize the defences by tracking back through the personal experiences, they can be encouraged to be understanding. Then they, have a chance to change and not just repeat old behaviors,” Hilary suggests. “Defences need to be respected and not knocked down in one step. Removing one brick at a time from the wall is very important.” Unlike hedgehogs, humans don’t come with the quills built in. So, when we learn to lower our defences for safe, loving people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all. 8. Why does the author raise a question in the first paragraph? A. To give examples. B. To lead to a story. C. To inspire reflection. D. To express concern. 9. What does the underlined word “intimate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Permanent. B. Detailed. C. Independent. D. Close. 10. What does Hilary advise people to do when bringing down defences? A. Address problems with patience. B. Avoid discussing past experiences. C. Immediately remove self-protection. D. Accept the behaviour without changing 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. Psychology Today. B. Wildlife Focus. C. Technology Review. D. Runner’s World. D Novelists have different ways of describing laughter. Characters can wear a big smile, be all smiles, crack a smile, grin from ear to ear, break into a smile and so on. The richness of language may suggest that laughter has limitless diversity (多样性). However, it may be wrong. A new study led by Dr Roza Kamiloglu, provides evidence that there are just two main types of laughter: one generated when people find something funny and one that can be caused only through the physical act of tickling (挠痒痒). Dr Kamiloglu instructed assistants to collect 887 videos that were then classified (分类), ranging from tickle attacks to laughing for other factors. About 70% of these videos were used to train a machine-learning algorithm (算法) to classify laughter by reasons. The algorithm was then asked to classify the remaining 30% and correctly identified laughter produced by tickling 62.5% of the time. All other forms of laughter, whether they came from viewing stand-up comedy or practical jokes, were difficult to tell apart. This suggested there was something unique about the tickling laughter. When Dr Kamiloglu ran the experiment again, asking human observers to classify the laughter, a similar result showed: Human observers correctly identified tickling laughter 61.2% of the time. The findings made scientists reflect on the roots of laughter. After all, humans are not the only animals that can laugh and tickle. This points to the fact that laughter from tickling evolved (演变) over 10 million years ago. This early sort of laughter probably evolved to help primates (灵长目动物) build friendly relations. As for other forms of laughter, they probably evolved millions of years after tickling, when human brain became complex enough to understand deeper meanings. 12. What does the underline word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The richness of human language. B. The approach to describing laughter. C. The idea of countless kinds of laughter. D.

You’ll do the solo in the school hall that day.” My throat tightened. I stared at her for a while. The band director was looking right at me. So was everyone else. Saying no to Ms. Reed was like trying to stop an avalanche (雪崩). “OK!” I said unwillingly, trying to hide my hopelessness. In fact, stage fright wasn’t just a fear; it was a storm I couldn’t escape. Kelly, the violin star, passed me and made fun of me. “You’ve never done a solo, right? Don’t mess up! By the way, the Youth Symphony’s (青年交响乐团的) director is coming. I’m sure he’ll love your nerves.” Her words felt like a knife, I’d dreamed of playing in the Youth Symphony for a long time. However, I could only play great in the basement (地下室) of my home. It’s comfortable down there — just me, my sax (萨克斯), my music stand and a couple of spiders(蜘蛛) as my audience. I like to practice at night, and no one can hear me in the basement. When I got home, I began to think about the performance piece. I grabbed a sheet of music, “Summertime.” I spent hours practicing and perfecting it. But doubt washed over me. “What if I freeze?” I was in low spirits for several days. “You’re not alone,” Jill, my best friend, said in a low voice one day after school and came along with me to my basement. “Imagine the crowd is a group of spiders (蜘蛛),” she suggested. Her thought felt funny, but her support relieved my anxiety a little. “It’s no use. I just felt comfortable here,” I replied. “If I could do my solo here, it’d be no problem.” “Why can’t the school hall feel like your basement?” Jill shouted excitedly. “Will it work if you see a photo of your basement?” 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。 Hearing her words, I suddenly had an idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Ms. Reed signaled to me, I stood up with a photo taped on my sax. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
