Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 18 A ［重庆一中2024开学考试］I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a stand-up comedian in 2003.I’d never set foot in a comedy club before. I’ve always been a performer—I’ve worked as a singer, actor and musician—but all that came to an end after I found people around didn’t want to go out or be entertained. 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. But by the time I tried my first joke, people were properly laughing. I was enchanted （使陶醉） by the charm and power of comedy. 刷阅读理解 19 Now, 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.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 old person you don’t need to take a back seat in life. Last year, I was recognised as the oldest female stand-up comedian in the world. My friends think I’m mad. They don’t understand why I wouldn’t choose to take it easy. But I like engaging with the world and I’ve got to be in touch to be funny. I’ve no intention of stopping comedy. I’m 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. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一名女性喜剧演员在68岁时开始走上喜剧道路的经历和感受。文章描述了她如何克服困难和挑战，逐渐适应并热爱喜剧表演，以及她对喜剧的看法和目标。 刷阅读理解 1.Why did the author want to be a comedian?( ) D A.She was tired of her previous job.

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 authors carried on the cartoon caption （说明文字） 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 rated 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 non-funny people. It is not clear why this is the case, but it might be that creators of 刷阅读理解 26 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 found comedians were more withdrawn than the general population. 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 should ask, “Are you good at telling jokes or do you tend to laugh more?” 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究试图找到创造幽默和欣赏幽默之间的其他联系，呈现了研究开展的过程以及研究的结果。 刷阅读理解 1.What quality do joke tellers and appreciators have in common?( ) D A.Attention. B.Creativity. C.Imagination. D.Intelligence. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Telling jokes requires intelligence, creativity, imagination and the ability to tell a story, while listening to jokes is more passive behaviour but it demands attention, intelligence and being in the right mood in order to enjoy jokes.”可知，讲笑话的人和欣赏笑话的人的共同之处是都拥有智慧。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 28 2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?( ) B A.The results of the task. B.The process of the study. C.The judgement on the task. D.The importance of the study. 解析 主旨大意题。第二段主要介绍了该研究的作者给参与者分配的任务：即给漫画配说明文字，包括参与任务的人数、任务的内容和任务的评分标准，由此可知，第二段的主要内容是研究的过程。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 29 3.According to the text, outgoing people ___. C A.are likely to be funny B.tend to be comedians C.are good at appreciating humour D.embrace new experiences 解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Moreover, outgoing people and those who are open to new experiences found the cartoons funnier”可知，外向的人觉得漫画更有趣，即外向的人善于欣赏幽默。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 30 4.What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 4 mean?( ) A A.Being quiet and shy. B.Being easy to talk to. C.Being very successful. D.Being kind to others. 解析 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，研究发现外向的人不太可能是有趣的，这与作者的研究一致，由此可推知，此处表示喜剧演员，也就是本身有趣的人则比普通人更加内向。由此可推知，withdrawn表示“内敛的；内向的”，与A项的表述意思相近。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 31 ［江西新余一中2025高二段考］When we are kids, we laugh a lot.

The great thing is that once we’ve had a good laugh, we feel happier. It would seem, therefore, that bringing a bit of humor into more serious situations might be good for us. Places like a humorless office or a tense classroom could sometimes do with a good dose of laughter. Seeing the funny side of things can certainly lift our spirits and that in turn can make us feel better about what we’re doing. Maybe we should get inspiration from Steve Carlisle, president of General Motors of Canada. He says “Humor can help people feel more relaxed, more comfortable and thus be more efficient at what they do.” Humor can be used by teachers in the classroom too. It’s a good way to break the ice with students and create a more relaxed atmosphere which is good for learning. 刷阅读理解 49 But we have to be careful: Not everyone laughs at the same things. While some of us may admire a work colleague or fellow student for their well-told joke, others may consider them offensive! According to Professor Schweitzer, a worker or boss who successfully uses humor is seen as both confident and competent, which in turn increases his or her status. His study Risky Business: When Humor Increases and Decreases Status also found that someone who tells inappropriate jokes is also seen as confident but they’re also regarded as incompetent. So telling the right jokes in the office or classroom can spread some happiness. A study published in the Journal of Behavioral and Applied Management found for healthcare workers, emotional exhaustion was significantly lower among those who experienced greater levels of fun at work. And other research has discovered that teams who share more jokes give more supportive and constructive statements to each other and that’s no joke! 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。幽默在生活中的作用非常大，甚至会影响一个人的人生。文章主要介绍了幽默在生活和工作中的重要作用。 刷阅读理解 1.In what way does Steve Carlisle try to get along with his employees?( ) D A.Helpful ways.

D.Keep calm. 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“a worker or boss who successfully uses humor is seen as both confident and competent, which in turn increases his or her status”可知，如果一个新经理想要看起来自信和有能力可以讲恰当的笑话，表现出幽默。 刷阅读理解 52 3.What is someone seen as when they tell unsuitable jokes?( ) B A.Easy-going.

My musical comedy, Artificially Intelligent, was inspired by the time I asked AI to write me a show based on my life, and it gave me some madly terrible results. I performed some materials generated by AI in the show, and I even made it write a song for an audience member on the spot, and it was always funny in its awfulness. It generated songs telling the audience member who is a doctor to hit the eyes of her co-worker who she is always arguing with. However, this wasn’t independent thinking; we had to feed AI as much information as possible to get any results from it. When it comes to actually getting AI to create jokes on its own, it can’t. 刷阅读理解 56 The problem with AI and comedy is its lack of human nuance （细微差别） that makes something funny. AI might be able to create a joke structure, but it does not have the ability to pull material from personal experience. It lacks a point of view, situational awareness, context, and cultural awareness needed for good comedy. Irony （讽刺）, a complex form of human communication, is hard for AI because of its reliance on context, tones, and cultural knowledge. Unlike humans, AI can’t infer meaning beyond clear statements. Irony involves saying one thing but meaning another, relying on shared context, but AI only processes text and can’t pick up audio and visual cues for irony. AI must signal it’s making a joke. As of now, though AI has made impressive progress in some areas, it is absolutely not funny, but in the future theoretically yes. When technology advances to the point where robots are walking around with free will and independent thinking, experiencing life and potentially even emotions, they would theoretically begin to have enough viewpoints to create comedy, or an activity that voices their experience of being an AI.However, this means AI would create its own culture which would only be relatable to other AIs. 刷阅读理解 The truth is that audiences are really enjoying the AI-generated materials in my show, even if the joke is bad. But—technically—does that make it funny? 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能在创作幽默方面的局限性及其未来的可能性。 刷阅读理解 1.Why does the author mention the comedy Artificially Intelligent?( ) C A.To introduce a successful AI comedy. B.To confirm the application of AI in music. C.To illustrate AI’s limitations in making jokes. D.To recommend the musical comedy to readers. 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段内容和第二段中的“My musical comedy, Artificially Intelligent, was inspired by the time I asked AI to write me a show based on my life… it was always funny in its awfulness.”可知，作者让人工智能根据他的生活给他写了一个节目，而结果很糟糕。由此可知，作者提及他的音乐喜剧是为了展示人工智能生成的糟糕结果，从而引出本文的中心论点，即人工智能在幽默创作上的局限性。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 59 2.What does the author try to explain in paragraph 3?( ) C A.What AI jokes are made up of. B.How AI understands the meaning of irony. C.Why AI fails to create a good joke actually. D.Whether AI can learn from funny experiences. 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，人工智能或许能够构建笑话的结构，但它无法从个人经历中提取笑话素材。它缺乏好的喜剧所需的观点、情境意识、上下文和文化意识。讽刺作为人类的一种复杂交流形式，因其依赖于上下文、语气和文化知识，对人工智能来说尤为困难。由此可推知，作者在第三段中论述的是人工智能实际上无法创作好的笑话的原因。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 60 3.What does the author think of AI in the future?( ) D A.It will relate its culture to humans. B.It will teach itself the theory of comedy. C.It will be free to express others’ feelings. D.It will develop its own culture of humour. 解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容“… an activity that voices their experience of being an AI.However, this means AI would create its own culture which would only be relatable to other AIs.”可知，作者认为当技术发展到机器人能够拥有自由意志、独立思考以及体验生活甚至情感时，它们可能会开始具备足够的观点来创作喜剧，或者表达它们作为人工智能的独特体验。然而，这意味着人工智能将形成其自身的文化，并且可能只有其他人工智能才能理解这种文化。由此可知，人工智能会形成自己的幽默文化。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 61 4.What’s the best title for the text?( ) A A.Will AI Ever Be Funny? B.Is AI Going to Learn to Laugh? C.Is AI the Future of Entertainment? D.Will AI Be the Pioneer in New Fields? 解析 主旨大意题。根据第一段“… making us laugh seems to be its final frontier.”并结合全文可知，作者通过一个例子指出人工智能在喜剧创作方面的局限和相关原因，现在人工智能在一些领域已经取得了显著成就，但在幽默创作方面仍面临巨大的挑战，但理论上未来随着科技进步，人工智能也有可能变得有趣。A项（人工智能会变得有趣吗？）能够概括全文内容，适合作为本文的标题。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 62 ［浙江四校2024联考］“Keep staring!

Laughter serves as a bridge, helping individuals get through pain. This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play, Mary Jane.The play balances humour and heartbreak, providing a fresh idea on the trials of caregiving and the strength of the human spirit. Mary Jane tells the story of a single mother who raises her disabled son, Alex. The play explores friendship, unconditional maternal love, hope and despair. Despite all the challenges she faces, Mary Jane’s life is filled with humour, offering the audience brief respite （喘息） from her emotional trouble. The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex, who is mostly hidden from the audience. This is achieved by showing the influence of Alex’s condition through the eyes of those who care for him. The audience feels the weight of his absence and his various needs, which take up most of Mary 刷阅读理解 85 Jane’s life. Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son’s constant medical needs. Her interactions with the supporting characters show the importance of community support and humour that help her cope with her daily struggles. One of the most moving parts of the play is the depiction of Mary Jane’s interactions with other mothers of disabled children. They exchange advice, encourage and entertain each other with humour. Norman Cousins, a professor, recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter. Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anaesthetic （麻醉的） effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep. His findings show humour’s physical and psychological benefits. Research also supports the importance of laughter and humour, showing that they can reduce stress, improve moods and resilience. Humour positively and directly affects people’s health. This indicates that humour could buffer people against stress and improve overall mental health. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要通过戏剧《玛丽·简》中主人公的故事展现了幽默在困难时期的重要作用，并通过卡曾斯的疾病恢复经历论述了幽默对身心健康的好处。 刷阅读理解 1.What is the purpose of the text?( ) C A.To advertise a new play.

I’ve been told that even in a room of a thousand people, you can always hear me laughing over the crowd. For me, laughter is the ultimate form of embodied joy. And by “embodied”, I mean that my whole body is involved when I laugh. On the inside, it’s like a bubbling （冒泡的） fountain of joy spilling out all over the place. But what is joy, anyway? Life can be terrible, but if you decide to follow the sound of the joy fountain, you will find joy showing up in all kinds of places: pets playfully bouncing around, kindness, or even in nothingness. How can joy be found? A friend moved into a new apartment and needed some help, so I helped him. Afterwards, he was obviously so much happier and at ease. I noticed that playing even a small part in his happiness brought me great joy, and I took a moment to let this feeling of embodied joy in. We can practise letting joy in by noticing how it feels to smile. 刷阅读理解 92 Where does your body light up when you smile? When I smile, it makes me want to take a deep breath, and I notice my shoulders and belly relaxing. When I embody caring and loving, it feels great! Sadly, many of us are unaware of joy, or suspicious of it. Maybe you are afraid to open up to joy, or maybe you are so unfamiliar with what joy feels like that you ignore or resist it when it comes knocking. No one, other than you, owns your happiness, but you might unknowingly block feelings or experiences that help you embody joy. The fact is that when you can’t embody joy, you miss out on one of life’s essential vitamins. Want more joy? Don’t be afraid to look silly. Silliness helps us take things less personally. It helps us see the world the way a kid does. When we can find more joy in the small things of everyday life, we can embody happiness, rather than just pursuing it. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们如何找到快乐。 刷阅读理解 1.How is the topic of joy introduced at the beginning of the passage?( ) C A.By highlighting a joyful experience.

B.That many of us are insensitive to joy. C.That many of us lack life’s essential vitamins.

If the lawyer defending you in court couldn’t stop joking, you’d be understandably alarmed. However, regarding humour as insignificant is a mistake. Humour, jokes and laughter have a vital role to play in human behaviour and interaction. They are a powerful part of social bonding and are genuinely beneficial for health via their stress-relieving properties. Why do we respond, in such powerful and rewarding ways, to things that objectively make little sense? A substantial amount of data has been generated regarding how humour works in the brain and on the various types of recognisable jokes that trigger it. Verbal puns （双关语）, the most familiar type of jokes, involve words that convey two meanings at once. For example, “Why did the golfer wear two pairs of trousers? In case he got a hole in one.” Here “hole in one” has two possible interpretations. Their simplicity and familiarity mean most people recognise the humour in puns. So, the brain’s humour processing mechanism is still activated. 刷阅读理解 111 But where does humour arise from in the brain? Considerable research points towards a specific system in the brain for recognising humour. This system seemingly detects and resolves incongruity （不和谐）.Our brains know how things, like languages and behaviours, should work. But, in the real world, many things don’t match our expectations. It seems our brains have evolved a system to recognise when this happens. If normality is subverted, it means we don’t know what’s going to happen, which creates cognitive （认知的） tension. However, the system that recognises incongruity seemingly also resolves it, by providing an explanation, or at least a confirmation that the incongruity has no negative consequences. This removes the uncertainty, relieving the tension. So, we experience a rewarding feeling. If the incongruity is not resolved, however, humour is absent. If the answer to “Why did the golfer wear two pairs of trousers?” is “In case the metal owl that lived in his gold bag attacked him”, that’s not funny. There’s unresolved incongruity. 刷阅读理解 112 Humour is essentially our brain going, “This isn’t how things usually work… but I’m okay with it!” 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了大脑的幽默处理机制。 刷阅读理解 1.What does the author say about humour in the first two paragraphs?( ) A A.Its positive role is often underrated. B.It aims at providing amusement. C.Its harmful effects shouldn’t be ignored. D.It is essential for professional communication. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Jokes and humour are often thought of as unimportant.”以及第二段中的“However, regarding humour as insignificant is a mistake.”可知，人们经常认为幽默无足轻重，这是一种错误的看法。再由“Humour, jokes and laughter have a vital role to play in human behaviour and interaction.”可知，幽默对人类有重要意义，因此这两段意在说明幽默的积极影响经常被低估。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 114 2.Why does the author mention the “hole in one” example in paragraph 4?( ) C A.To prove a theory. B.To draw a conclusion. C.To illustrate a concept. D.To make a comparison. 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Verbal puns, the most familiar type of jokes, involve words that convey two meanings at once.For example… Here ‘hole in one’ has two possible interpretations.Their simplicity and familiarity mean most people recognise the humour in puns.”可知，此处的例子意在对双关语作进一步的解释说明。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 115 3.What does the underlined word “subverted” in paragraph 6 probably mean?( ) B A.Detected. B.Overturned. C.Established. D.Repeated. 解析 词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“But, in the real world, many things don’t match our expectations.”和画线词前的normality以及画线词后的“it means we don’t know what’s going to happen, which creates cognitive tension”可知，此处指的是如果符合我们预期的正常情况被颠覆或者推翻，我们就无法知道将会发生什么，这会造成认知紧张。故画线词意为“推翻”。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 116 4.What is the best title for the text?( ) D A.How Jokes Affect Brain Structures B.Using Humour to Boost Brain Power C.Jokes and the Brain’s Reward System D.Unlocking Brain Secrets Behind Humour 解析 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第三段的“A substantial amount of data has been generated regarding how humour works in the brain and on the various types of recognisable jokes that trigger it.”、第四段的“So, the brain’s humour processing mechanism is still activated.”以及第五段的“But where does humour arise from in the brain?”可知，本文重点介绍人们在听到幽默或者笑话时，大脑是如何进行信息加工和处理，以便人们能够恰当理解幽默的。D项（解开幽默背后的大脑秘密）适合作为文章最佳标题。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 117 词汇加油站 核心词汇 1.arise vi.发生，出现 2.essentially adv.本质上，根本上 进阶词汇 rewarding adj.值得做的，有意义的 刷阅读理解 118 B ［福建厦门大学附属科技中学2024高二期中］It’s well-known that humour can benefit us both physically and mentally. The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been around since ancient times. In his 1905 book, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, Sigmund Freud argued that humour is the highest of the psyche’s defence mechanism （机制）, capable of turning anxiety into pleasure. Yet not all types of humour have the same effect on well-being. To better distinguish the effects of different types of humour on mental health, psychologist Rod Martin developed a questionnaire, in which he broke humour down into four styles. Affiliative humour refers to jokes about things that might be commonly considered funny, which is usually employed to improve relationships or make others laugh. Self-enhancing humour involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result. Aggressive humour is laughing at the expense of others, which often involves sarcasm （讽刺）, teasing, and criticism. Self-defeating humour is the art of putting yourself down to gain favour from your peers. 刷阅读理解 119 Each style of humour actually carries a different influence, when it comes to mental health. Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychological researcher at the University of Western Ontario, says people using self-enhancing humour are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others. By contrast, both aggressive and self-defeating humour styles can hint at trouble.“We find that self-defeating humour is the most concerning style as it is also linked with loneliness and feelings of not mattering. Those with an aggressive humour style may not experience loneliness as much, however, since they rely on group dynamics （群体动力） in order to make fun of their peers,” says Schermer. Even if you tend to favour more negative humour styles, there’s no reason to lose heart. Schermer says people can develop a positive, self-enhancing humour style by concentrating on the lighter and more humorous aspects of life. As author Kurt Vonnegut once wrote, “Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的幽默类型对心理健康不同的影响。 刷阅读理解 1.Why is Sigmund Freud’s book mentioned in paragraph 1?( ) B A.To show the importance of mental health. B.To stress the positive role of humour. C.To persuade people to stay positive. D.To introduce ancient jokes to us. 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，“笑是最好的良药”这一观点自古以来就存在，西格蒙德·弗洛伊德在他1905年出版的《诙谐及其与潜意识的关系》一书中认为，幽默是心灵的最高防御机制，能够将焦虑转化为快乐。因此，第一段提到这本书是为了强调幽默的积极作用。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 121 2.According to the text, which kind of humour may you use to relieve pressure?( ) B A.Affiliative humour. B.Self-enhancing humour. C.Aggressive humour. D.Self-defeating humour. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Self-enhancing humour involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result.”可知，自我提升式幽默包括能够自嘲，通常是处理压力或困难的一种方式。因此，可用于缓解压力的是自我提升式幽默。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 122 3.What does the underlined phrase “hint at” in the third paragraph probably mean?( ) A A.Signal. B.Explain. C.Prevent. D.Solve. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文中的“… people using self-enhancing humour are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others.”及By contrast可知，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表现出孤独和与他人关系不好的迹象。相比之下，攻击性和自我挫败的幽默风格都可能暗示出麻烦。由此可猜测，画线短语意思是“暗示”，与A项意思相近。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 123 方法总结 词义猜测题的解题方法 解答词义猜测题可根据画线部分前后的语义逻辑关系进行准确理解，并且要联系文章主旨。本题中，画线短语前的are less likely to show signs of及By contrast是解题关键。 刷阅读理解 124 4.Which of the following will Kurt Vonnegut probably agree with?( ) D A.Humour is difficult to control. B.Crying is a good way to get relief. C.Humour is a double-edged sword. D.Laughter is the best cure for stress. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion.I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”可知，笑和泪都是对担忧和焦虑的反应，库尔特·冯内古特更喜欢笑，可得出他可能同意“笑是缓解压力的最好方法”这一观点。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 125 词汇加油站 核心词汇 1.employ vt.应用；运用；雇用 2.at the expense of… 在牺牲/损害……的情况下 刷阅读理解 126 ［河北石家庄一中2024高二期中］Last summer, my family had a vacation that left a lasting impact on me.

Or it could be that no aliens will ever make it to the point where they are able to make contact with other species. In The Three-Body Problem, Chinese writer Liu Cixin’s science fiction, he describes the universe as a dark forest, where each alien society is like a fearful, armed hunter cautiously moving forth. If that hunter finds other life, he is left with the safest course of action: to wipe out any other life forms before they can do the same to him. Being fearful contributes to humans’ development. Our caution may save our lives when we face a genuine threat.“Take the initiative in the competition, and you may sleep more securely while getting extra resources,” says Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer. 刷阅读理解 136 Thankfully, the Dark Forest Theory has lots of issues that are difficult to resolve—the most obvious being that it’s extremely difficult to hide a technologically advanced world.“We’ve never given the slightest thought to turning off all the radar （雷达） and going completely silent because it might be dangerous,” says Shostak. The Dark Forest Theory also falls apart when you consider the true nature of the universe.“The distances between planets are likely to be so vast that the idea that they would feel the need to attack one another seems odd. Even if they fear each other, the expanse means that they wouldn’t likely need to compete for the near-limitless resources,” says Shostak. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the Dark Forest Theory is a nonstarter. Addressing the holes in the theory requires adding the terror factor. Suppose that technological civilisation is going from star to star destroying signs of life whenever planets with life or technology are found. We don’t see them because they’re not there. That’s the really scary thing. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了刘慈欣在科幻小说《三体》中提出的“黑暗森林法则”，他将宇宙描述成一片黑暗森林，其中每个外星社会都像是谨慎前行的、恐惧且全副武装的猎人。如果那个猎人发现了其他生命，他会消灭掉所有其他生命形态。恐惧促进了人类的发展。在面对真正的威胁时，我们的谨慎可能会救我们一命。 刷阅读理解 1.What do we know about the Fermi Paradox?( ) C A.It denies aliens’ existence. B.It is studied thoroughly. C.Its answers vary considerably. D.Its answers are similar. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Answers to the paradox range from the optimistic to the downright frightening.”可知，人们对于费米悖论给出的解答有乐观的，也有可怕的，因此这些答案差别很大。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 139 2.What can be inferred from Shostak’s words in paragraph 4?( ) D A.Fear is deadly. B.Attacks are risky. C.Fear dominates humans’ development. D.Attacks have survival value. 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Being fearful contributes to humans’ development.Our caution may save our lives when we face a genuine threat.”和“Take the initiative in the competition, and you may sleep more securely while getting extra resources”可知，塞思·肖斯塔克认为，恐惧有助于警醒人们，在面临真正的威胁和竞争时，采取主动才能更加安全地生存，同时获取更多资源。由此可推知，塞思·肖斯塔克认为攻击具有生存价值。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 140 3.Which factor challenges the Dark Forest Theory according to Shostak?( ) B A.Aliens may not understand human culture. B.The vastness of space makes conflicts less likely. C.Advanced civilisations tend to compete for survival. D.Competition for resources could become more serious. 解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The distances between planets are likely to be so vast that the idea that they would feel the need to attack one another seems odd.Even if they fear each other, the expanse means that they wouldn’t likely need to compete for the near-limitless resources”可知，肖斯塔克认为，行星之间的距离十分遥远，因此行星之间不太可能为了资源竞争而产生冲突，即浩瀚的太空减少了冲突发生的可能性，挑战了“黑暗森林法则”。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 141 4.Why does the author make the assumption in the last paragraph?( ) D A.To prove aliens are scary. B.To find holes in the theory. C.To add horrible atmosphere. D.To warn us of the potential threat. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Suppose that technological civilisation is going from star to star destroying signs of life whenever planets with life or technology are found.We don’t see them because they’re not there.That’s the really scary thing.”可知，作者在最后一段作出假设，假设科技文明正在从一颗恒星移动到另一颗恒星，只要发现具有生命或技术的行星，就会摧毁星球上存在的生命迹象，以此警告应对人类的处境保持警醒，即警告我们潜在的威胁。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 142 文本解构 刷阅读理解 143 ［全国新课标Ⅰ2023］ Personal Forgiveness Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them.
