He loved watching comedies best and hoped to become a comedy actor one day. When he heard about the talent show to be held at this school, Brian decided to take part in. He had never acted on stage before, and he was very excited. But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny but silly，” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do，” another boy also said to him, loudly. Brian couldn't understand why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny. So he decided to prepare for the show. Brian did a great job at the talent show. Everyone loved his performance, and he won the first prize! His teachers and friends were proud of him. Even so, Ken told Brian that he was not funny, and that he would never be successful. Brian didn't understand why Ken said so, but he realized that it had nothing to do with him. He confidently continued to work towards his goal. As the years went on, Brian met more people like Ken. “You'll do a terrible job，” they said to him. Luckily, most people encouraged him and some helped him to become even funnier. He got a lot of opportunities to perform in movies. He was even invited to appear on television. His fans thanked him because his comedies made them feel good when they were unhappy. Now Brian is a big comedy star! He is doing what he loves best. He never feels stressed like those unkind people, and he laughs all day long! 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Brian (布莱恩)不在乎不友善的人嘲笑他的话，通过自己的努力，最终成为一名深受粉丝喜爱的喜剧明星。 1．What did Brian love best when he was a student?

During performances of Shakespearean plays, there were people who laughed at just the right moments. This would cause other members of the audience to laugh in a similar way, thus making the show seem funnier. Centuries later, when comedy programs were popular on radio, the sound of a laughing audience was a natural part of performances that were aired live. To make sure his performances were aired at the same time in each time zone, actor Bing Crosby had his show prerecorded. Eventually, one of the show's writers realized that big laughs from old recordings could be added in to follow new jokes. So the world was introduced to canned laughter. When TV came along, laugh tracks were recorded from the live studio audience that was present at a show. But sometimes, the audience didn't laugh at the expected time, making these moments seem dull to those watching at home. To fix this problem, TV audio engineer Charley Douglass invented a machine called the Laff Box. Douglass' Laff Box was a collection of tapes connected to different keys. Each tape contained canned laughter that was carefully selected by Douglass for its particular quality. For example, one tape might have produced very soft laughs, while another produced loud cackles (咯咯笑). The machine could be played almost like a musical instrument: if the live audience didn't laugh enough, Douglass would “sweeten” the audio by adding the right amount and type of canned laughter. This technique could even be used when no audience was present, as with cartoons. Critics have long claimed that canned laughter is merely a trick to make people laugh at bad jokes. Live laugh tracks, however, can still be heard on popular modern shows like The Big Bang Theory. Sometimes it's just more fun to share in the laughter—canned or otherwise. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是“罐头笑声”，并介绍了其发展史。 5．What is mentioned about Shakespearean plays? A．They were sometimes broadcast on radio. B．Most of these plays weren't funny enough. C．Some viewers were purposefully arranged to laugh. D．Canned laughter was used during the performances. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“During performances of Shakespearean plays ... in a similar way”可知，在莎士比亚戏剧表演时，一些观众被故意安排大笑来使其他观众发出类似的笑声。故选C。 6．What can be concluded from Paragraph 2? A．Bing Crosby's older jokes got more laughs. B．Bing Crosby's show was aired live worldwide. C．Bing Crosby's team made comedy programs popular. D．Bing Crosby's team brought canned laughter into existence. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“one of the show's writers ... introduced to canned laughter”可推知，是Bing Crosby的团队让“罐头笑声”问世。故选D。 7．What can we learn about Douglass' Laff Box? A．It can offer many types of laughter. B．It is inconvenient for people to use. C．It isn't allowed by law today. D．It can make bad jokes funny. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Douglass' Laff Box ... produced loud cackles (咯咯笑)．”可推知，它可以提供多种类型的笑声。故选A。 8．How does the text mainly develop? A．By giving examples. B.By analyzing reasons. C．By following time order. D.By making comparisons. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“dates back to the 16th century”，第二段中的“Centuries later”和第三段中的“When TV came along”可推知，文章是根据时间顺序来组织全文的。故选C。 Ⅲ　应用文写作 假定你是李华，你的笔友Williams想学习中国相声，请你给他回一封电子邮件。内容包括： 1．相声的简介； 2．著名的演员； 3．学习相声的条件。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Williams， So glad to know you are keen on Chinese crosstalk. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Hope that it can be of help to you.

No joke could make me smile, not even during the school's annual talent show. My classmates called me “Ms Grumpy” because I always buried my face in textbooks. Everything changed when our new English teacher, Mr Wilson, announced a “Humor Challenge”. He asked us to bring a joke to share in class every Monday morning. At first, I panicked. Sharing jokes felt like the ultimate embarrassment. But Mr Wilson said, “Laughter is the best medicine. It heals the heart and brightens the soul.” On the first Monday, I memorized a joke about a math book: “Why was the equal sign so humble? Because he knew he wasn't less than or greater than anyone else！” To my surprise, everyone laughed. My classmates cheered, “Emily finally cracked a smile！” From that day on, I started practicing jokes at home. My collection grew: a joke about cats sleeping 20 hours a day (“They're just preparing for their careers as couch potatoes！”), and a pun about bicycles (“Why don't bikes fall over? Because they have two wheels and a strong sense of balance！”)． The “Humor Challenge” transformed our classroom. Students who once argued over homework now shared funny stories. Even shy students like Tom joined in with his joke about scarecrows: “Why do scarecrows win an award? Because they're outstanding in their field！” Mr Wilson smiled proudly. “See? Humor isn't about being funny. It's about connecting hearts.” That year, our class won the “Most Creative Class” award—not for academic achievements, but for the laughter echoing through our room every Monday morning. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Emily (艾米莉)因英语老师的“幽默挑战”从沉闷转向开朗，同学们用笑话化解矛盾、凝聚同学，班级氛围焕然一新并获奖的故事。 1．What was Emily's problem before the “Humor Challenge”？ A．She was bad at math. B．She couldn't make friends. C．She rarely smiled or laughed. D．She disliked English classes. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I used to be ... make me smile”可知，Emily很少笑。故选C。 2．Why did Mr Wilson start the “Humor Challenge”？ A．To prepare students for talent shows. B．To help students improve their English. C．To bring joy and connection to the class. D．To teach students how to tell jokes. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中Wilson (威尔逊)老师说的话“Laughter is the ... brightens the soul.(笑是最好的药。它治愈心灵，照亮灵魂。)”可推知，Wilson老师举办该活动的目的是为班级带来快乐和团结。故选C。 3．How did Emily feel about sharing her first joke?

However, it is often difficult for foreigners to make sense of their jokes. The main thing to remember is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. __1__ Another key to understanding British humour is to know that the British often use understatement. Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn't exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situations or to make another person look silly. __2__ The British like to make fun of many other things. They often laugh about the silly and terrible things that happen to us every day, like when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. __3__ Finally, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy programme Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. __4__ In pictures, he almost never talks, and instead he uses his body movement 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. For instance, once Mr Bean bought a large chair. He needed to take it home, but it was too big to fit in his small car. His solution was to put the chair on top of his car. __5__ 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 can better understand the British sense of humour. A．British humour brings people laughter and content. B．Understatement plays an important part in British humour. C．Then, he sat in the chair and used a broom to drive the car! D．They also like to make jokes about situations that are quite serious. E．Throughout the film, the audience were amused by his convincing acting. F．Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. G．Such jokes are normally about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英式幽默的特点。 1．答案：D 解析：根据前文“The main thing to remember is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.(最要紧的是记住英国人喜欢开自己和其他人的玩笑。)”可知，设空处应进一步陈述英式幽默的特点。D项(他们也喜欢对相当严肃的情况开玩笑。)承接前文。故选D。 2．答案：B 解析：根据前文“Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.(低调说法意味着说的比你想的或感觉的程度要低。)”可知，本段围绕understatement展开。B项(低调说法在英式幽默中扮演着重要的角色。)对应本段的主旨，understatement是关键词。故选B。 3．答案：G 解析：根据前文“They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society.(他们也喜欢拿社会不同阶层的人开玩笑。)”可知，设空处应陈述他们可能在哪些方面开玩笑。G项(这样的笑话通常是关于他们的口音、穿衣方式和行为方式。)进一步做出说明。故选G。 4．答案：F 解析：根据前文“The comedy programme Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.(喜剧节目《憨豆先生》就是这种幽默的一个很好的例子。)”和后文“In pictures ... to make people laugh.(在电影里，他几乎没有台词，相反他用他的肢体动作和面部表情让人们笑。)”可知，F项(憨豆先生是英国演员罗温·阿特金森在1990年扮演的角色。)承前启后，后文中的he指代选项中的Mr Bean。故选F。 5．答案：C 解析：根据前文“For instance ... on top of his car.(例如，有一次憨豆先生买了一把很大的椅子。他需要把它搬回家，但椅子太大了，车里装不下。他的解决办法是把椅子放在车顶上。)”可知，C项(然后，他坐在椅子上，用扫帚开车！)陈述憨豆先生下一步的做法。故选C。 Ⅲ　读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Last Friday, our school organized a special event named “Humor Show” to relieve the pressure of study and add some fun to our campus life. All classes were required to present a humorous skit or performance. My class decided to put on a play based on a popular comedy movie. We spent days practicing after class, with everyone trying their best to master their lines and actions. On the day of the event, the atmosphere in the school auditorium was electric. As our class's turn approached, nervousness filled the air among the performers. Our play began, and at first, everything seemed to go smoothly. The actors delivered their lines clearly, and the audience was already laughing at some of the funny scenes. However, halfway through, a funny accident happened. One of the main characters, Tom, was supposed to trip over a fake rock on stage. But he miscalculated the distance and actually stumbled into another actor, Sarah. The two of them fell to the ground in a heap, and for a moment, the whole auditorium went silent, thinking it was a disaster. Yet, Tom, with his quick­witted sense of humor, immediately got up and said in a loud voice, “Well, that wasn't part of the plan, but it seems like this rock really wanted to hug Sarah！” The audience burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere instantly turned into one of joy. Sarah, also joining in the fun, stood up and replied, “Yes, and I guess I was too charming for it to resist！” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Encouraged by the audience's reaction, 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Our class didn't win the first prize in the end, but we didn't care.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在舞台表演时，因为意外发生。Tom (汤姆)和Sarah (莎拉)机智的化解了这一情况。其他演员会怎么做？我们从这次事件中体会到了什么？ [精彩范文] Encouraged by the audience's reaction, the actors carried on with even more energy. They added some improvised humorous lines and actions, making the play even more hilarious. When the play finally ended, the auditorium was filled with thunderous applause.As the event continued with performances from other classes, everyone was still talking about the funny moment in our play. Our class didn't win the first prize in the end, but we didn't care. We had learned that humor could turn an unexpected situation into a memorable and enjoyable one. And that day, we all truly felt the magic of humor, which not only brought laughter to the stage but also closer bonds among classmates.Whenever we faced a tough situation later on, all it took was a mention of the “Humor Show” and we would burst into laughter, instantly feeling the warmth and togetherness that this event had brought to our lives. 【持续背记】 ①They looked at each other, their expressions of relief and gratitude more persuasive than words. 他们面面相觑，宽慰和感激的表情比言语更有说服力。 ②It goes without saying that going to bed early and getting up early is of great benefit to our health. 不言而喻，早睡早起对我们的健康有很大的益处。 ③One thing slowing the adoption of Christmas trees was the burden most families faced of having to find and chop down their own trees. 过去圣诞树在美国的接受度不太高，因为多数家庭不得不自己去寻找和砍伐圣诞树。 【持续积累】 persuasive/pə'sweIsIv/adj. 有说服力的；令人信服的 benefit/'benIfIt/n. 优势；益处 adoption/ə'dɒpʃn/n. 接受；采用 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
