Ⅰ.阅读理解
What is it that makes people laugh? More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined (定义) jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of triumph(胜利) by showing we're better than someone else in a certain way.According to Aristotle and many other philosophers,all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group of persons—that is,putting it clearly,on showing that they are worse off than ourselves.Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone else's expense.
Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes.Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us.We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin.The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society.This is probably the reason why some of the jokes,especially those involving cruelty,are so popular with certain people.
Besides,all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because it's different from things which are happening around it.The same situation can be either sad or pleasant,depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is.If a girl in a bathing suit falls into a swimming pool,we don't laugh because nothing unusual has happened.But if a man in a smart suit falls in,the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way and we laugh.A good joketeller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens,and so we laugh.
1.According to Aristotle,all jokes depend mainly on .
A.showing inferiority in another person or group
B.resulting in a sense of success
C.having a good opinion of other people
D.making people laugh unexpectedly
2.The underlined word “inferiority” (in Paragraph 1) means .
A.something that is not as good as something else
B.something that is better than something else
C.someone that is not as good as someone else
D.someone that is better than someone else
3.What's the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Showing we are better than other people is the only one reason we like jokes.
B.When people are angry,they would like to hear jokes.
C.People who like jokes are usually cruel.
D.To express those attitudes usually unacceptable to society is one of the reasons we like jokes.
4.What will a good joketeller always try to do?
A.Make a sad situation into a pleasant one.
B.Make different things happen at the same time.
C.Make an unexpected thing happen in an expected situation.
D.Make people laugh at something unusual and out of place.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了笑话。
1.A [细节理解题。根据第一段第三句According to Aristotle and many other philosophers, all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group of persons...可知,笑话是依赖于展示出另外一个人或群体的自卑。]
2.A [词义猜测题。根据破折号后的“that is,putting it clearly,on showing that they are worse off than ourselves.”可知,inferiority与worse off是同义词,故答案为A项。]
3.D [段落大意题。由第二段的首句即该段的主题句“Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes.”可以得知,利用笑话表达别人不喜欢接受的态度是较好的方式,因此这也是我们喜欢笑话的原因之一。]
4.C [细节理解题。根据短文的最后一句“A good joketeller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens,and so we laugh.”可知,C项正确。]

People who are naturally funny in social situations experience many benefits.Numerous studies have shown that humor reduces social anxiety, helps to ease tension, and has a number of positive emotional and psychological effects.In addition, it has been shown that funny people may be more successful.However, it is important that being funny comes across naturally in a laidback and spontaneous(即兴的) fashion.1.
1.Start by loosening up!
2. Remember that laughter is contagious(可传染的), so if you carry yourself in an open and humorous way people will be ready to laugh.To break the ice, you may follow the lead of others if you need to.
2.Look for humor in everyday events.
Many comedians focus on the world around them to find comedic material.3.
Try making a goal of noticing 5 funny things per day that happen to you.Through this technique,you will begin to see humor in mundane situations that everyone will appreciate.
3. 4.
We all have friends who are always good for a laugh.What is it that makes them funny? When you see them, pay careful attention to what makes them funny.Is it their tone of voice, body language, content, general demeanor, or something else that makes them naturally funny.Identifying what is that makes them funny will provide clues for how you can be naturally funny as well.
4.Practice being funny.
Make it your goal to say or do something that makes someone laugh once a day.5. Therefore, professional comedians often spend years developing their unique style.By starting small, you will be on your way to being naturally funny in general conversation.
A.A good sense of humor does not appear overnight.
B.Visit with a naturally funny friend or acquaintance.
C.If you find something funny, share it with a friend who you think will find this funny as well.
D.Having humor come across as forced and awkward can have a negative impact upon social situations.
E.Others look to their past experiences, such as their childhood, or past relationships as a way to make people laugh.
F.While others will not always understand your humor, you can use their reactions to help improve your style, content, and timing.
G.Being too uptight and selfconscious are roadblocks to developing and communicating a natural sense of humor that is relatable to other people.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。短文就如何以一种轻松、自然的方式表现出自己的风趣幽默提出了几点建议。
1.D [由“However, it is important that being funny comes across naturally in a laidback and spontaneous(即兴的) fashion”可知,然而,重要的是,幽默是以一种轻松、自然的方式表现出来的。所以小题1要说明让人觉得幽默是被迫的和尴尬的,会对社交场合产生负面影响。然后引出作者提出的几点建议,希望这几点建议能帮助读者摆脱被迫的和尴尬的幽默,以此对社交场合影响产生积极的影响。故D选项“让人觉得幽默是被迫的和尴尬的,会对社交场合产生负面影响”符合句意。故选D项。]
2.G [由标题“Start by loosening up”可知,从放松开始。所以小题2要说明,不放松会带来什么样不好的影响。故G选项“过于紧张和自我意识过强是把自然的幽默感传达给他人的障碍”符合句意。故选G项。]
3.E [由“Many comedians focus on the world around them to find comedic material”可知,许多喜剧演员关注周围的世界来寻找喜剧素材。所以小题3要说明其他人是如何寻找喜剧素材的。故E选项“另一些人则把他们过去的经历,比如童年,或者过去的人际关系作为一种让人发笑的方式”符合句意。故选E项。]
4.B [由第四段内容可知,我们都有朋友,他们总是善于笑。是什么让他们这么风趣幽默?当你看到他们时,要注意是什么让他们变得风趣幽默。是他们的语调、肢体语言、内容、一般的举止,还是其他一些东西使他们风趣幽默。确定什么让他们风趣幽默,这将为你如何自然地变得风趣幽默提供线索。所以本段主要在说要想变得风趣幽默,要拜访一个天生风趣的朋友或熟人也就是小题4本段的标题所要表达的内容。故B选项“拜访一个天生风趣幽默的朋友或熟人”符合句意。故选B项。]
5.A [由“Therefore, professional comedians often spend years developing their unique style.”可知,因此职业喜剧演员往往花费数年时间来形成自己独特的风格。所以小题与下一句为承接关系,来说明幽默感需要很长的时间的实践才能形成。故A选项“幽默感不是一夜之间就能表现出来的”符合句意。故选A项。]
