Although Ron Jenkins has a prestigious job at Wesleyan University in Connecticut and a doctorate from Harvard University, he’s not afraid to act the fool.
“Juggling tennis rackets and riding elephants are good lessons to learn in life,” Jenkins said. For him, comedy is the secret to survival. “I’m not embarrassed to express my ignorance, or to be ridiculous,” Jenkins said. “It’s a part of my profession.”
The professor, you see, is a clown. His Harvard doctorate is in clowning degree encompassing anthropology, theater, media and education. Laughter and taking risks have unlocked a lot of doors for Jenkins, who is now the chairman and artistic director of Wesleyan’s Theater Department. The idea that the spirit of laughter is the spirit of survival and a language that transcends all barriers is the great traditional belief of clowns.
Jenkins came to clowning only after pursuing a career in medicine. He grew up in a Philadelphia suburb. He said that he was “a singularly unfunny and painfully shy child”. His life turned around in the early 1970s. As a pre-med student at New York University, he worked with schizophrenic (患精神分裂症的) and autistic (患自闭症的) children in a hospital. The children received very little human contact, and their treatment consisted primarily of drug therapy.
It was when Jenkins was trying to connect with a depressed child named Eric that he discovered that by playing silly games he could make Eric smile and finally say Jenkins’s name
“I won his trust with laughter,” Jenkins said. “I felt the only audience I was capable of acting the fool in front of were the autistic children, the only people that were more shy than me.”
Jenkins can speak French, Italian and Indonesian, but he said his secret to acceptance into foreign cultures is his ability to clown.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Clowns use laughter to overcome barriers. B. Ron Jenkins came to clowning successfully.
C. Laughter can win everything. D. Ron Jenkins becomes a successful doctor.
5. The underlined word “encompassing” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.
A. circling B. except C. passing D. including
6. When did Ron Jenkins begin clowning?
A. When he began to work at Wesleyan University.
B. After he had a doctorate from Harvard University.
C. After he engaged in medicine.
D. When he worked overseas.
7. What kind of person is Ron Jenkins according to the passage?
A. Foolish and ignorant. B. Learned and brave.
C. Brave and serious. D. Funny and ignorant.
C
Most of us don’t put much thought into the way we smile when we have our picture taken or meet someone new, but a recent study by scientists in the US found that certain types of smiles have a better impact on people than others.
According to the study, having a “good” smile is an important way to present ourselves well to other people. “A lot of people don’t understand how important their smiles are and how important this aspect of communication we do with each other every day is,” said Stephen Guy, a co-author of the research.
But what exactly is a good smile, and how did the scientists come to their conclusion? A group of 802 members of the public, aging from 18 to 82, were shown a 3D animated face. The face displayed different types of smiles, and the subjects were asked to rate them, from “creepy” to “pleasant”.
After analyzing the results, the scientists discovered that the “best” smiles are the ones where the mouth is at an angle of between 13 and 17 degrees, and the mouth isn’t too broad or perfectly straight. In simple terms, don’t smile like a shark if you’re trying to make a good impression.
It’s believed that the findings could be used in a number of ways, including making video game characters appear more realistic. The scientists also hope their work will help doctors who are trying to restore facial movement to patients who have suffered from strokes or other conditions.
But Guy pointed out that nobody should feel bad if they don’t match up to his study’s definition of perfection. “It is important to be clear that there is not just one really, really good smile,” he said. “Just because your smile is different... doesn’t mean it is in any way bad.”
8. The scientists’ conclusion is supported by ________.
A. professional research that was conducted B. questionnaires collected by researchers
C. theories that have been proved D. experiments that were carried out in the past
9. What can we learn about a good smile according to the study?
A. The broader your mouth is, the better your smile will be.
B. There is no good smile at all.
C. It has something to do with the angle of your mouth.
D. The smile is bad if it doesn’t match up to the definition of perfection.
10. To which aspect can we apply the scientists’ findings?
A. Bringing facial movement back. B. Curing severe strokes
C. Solving all kinds of problems. D. Playing video games.
11. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. What Are the Benefits of Smiling? B. Why Is Smiling Important?
C. What Are the Different Ways of Smiling? D. What’s a Good Smile?
D
Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of the classical writers like Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a great effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self-examination.
Using a special machine, they monitored the brain activity of 30 volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S. Eliot and others.
In the first part of the research, the brain activity of 30 volunteers was monitored as they read passages from Shakespeare’s plays, including King Lear, Othello, Coriolanus and Macbeth, and again as they read the text rewritten in a simpler form or modern language.
While reading the common texts, normal levels of electrical activity were shown in their brains. When they read the works of Shakespeare, however, the levels of activity jumped because of his use of words which were unfamiliar to them. The result of the test showed that the more challenging passages cause a greater degree of electrical activity in the brain than the common ones.
Scientists went on to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and recorded how it lit up as the readers came across unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentences in the classical works. As a result, this lightening up process of the mind lasted longer than that when volunteers read common texts, encouraging further reading.
The research also found that reading poetry especially increases activity in the right hemisphere (半球) of the brain, an area connected with “autobiographical memory”, driving the readers to think carefully about their own experiences based on what they have read. The academics said this meant the classical works of literature are more useful than self-help books.
Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study in the university’s magnetic resonance center, announced this week: “Classical literature acts like a rocket-booster to the brain, which provides extra power for the brain. You may never imagine how powerful it is. The research shows such kind of literature can create new thoughts and connections in the young and the old.”
12. The underlined word “triggers” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to“_______”.
A. stops B. keeps
C. interrupts D. causes
13. Which of the following is NOT true about reading classical literature?
A. It’s helpful for readers to come up with new ideas.
B. It’s an activity that is suitable for people of all ages.
C. It makes readers’ electrical activity of brain return to normal.
D. It makes readers’ brain more active than reading common texts.
14. From the research, we can learn that _______.
A. poetry increases left-brain activity more than other literary forms
B. the readers prefer Shakespeare’s works to the other writers’works
C. the words of classical works make it hard for volunteers to read further
D. reading classical works produces a good and long-lasting effect on the mind
15. What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?
A. Classical works help the brain develop better.
B. Poetry is useful for developing people’s brain.
C. Common books are unpopular anymore.
D. Shakespeare’s plays are worth reading.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段文字,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As is known to all, the traffic is very poor and heavy. The bus or the train is really crowded. Every time I go home from my company or leave home for my company, I have to accept such a hard experience though I have been used to it.
On a cold December morning in 2020, I boarded a bus with my four bags which were large. Luckily, there were two empty seats left. About one hour later, a well-dressed young guy got on and took the seat next to mine. I was cautious. I would often come across guys who were eager to talk to a girl travelling on her own. So I was not surprised when he spoke up.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“Rampur Bushehr,” I replied briefly and put on my earphones to enjoy some music or to avoid talking with him. He did not bother me after that as if he had known my idea.
It started to rain and cold water was dropping through the roof right on to my lap. Seeing that, the guy emptied a plastic shopping bag full of clothes, which he pushed into his travel bag. He then handed me the plastic bag. I accepted it with a sheepish (困窘的) “thanks” before spreading it on my lap.
Minutes later, the bus broke down! The conductor announced we would have to move to another bus that would reach us shortly, and that there would be no more buses after that, since there had been heavy snowfalls. All the passengers of the bus got off and stood on the side of the road, ready to rush into the next bus. The conductor unwillingly helped me get off the bus with my luggage and I too waited with other passengers.
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。
When the bus finally arrived, it had many passengers already.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the bus left for my hometown, I looked around for the guy.

Although Ron Jenkins has a prestigious job at Wesleyan University in Connecticut and a doctorate from Harvard University, he’s not afraid to act the fool.
“Juggling tennis rackets and riding elephants are good lessons to learn in life,” Jenkins said. For him, comedy is the secret to survival. “I’m not embarrassed to express my ignorance, or to be ridiculous,” Jenkins said. “It’s a part of my profession.”
The professor, you see, is a clown. His Harvard doctorate is in clowning degree encompassing anthropology, theater, media and education. Laughter and taking risks have unlocked a lot of doors for Jenkins, who is now the chairman and artistic director of Wesleyan’s Theater Department. The idea that the spirit of laughter is the spirit of survival and a language that transcends all barriers is the great traditional belief of clowns.
Jenkins came to clowning only after pursuing a career in medicine. He grew up in a Philadelphia suburb. He said that he was “a singularly unfunny and painfully shy child”. His life turned around in the early 1970s. As a pre-med student at New York University, he worked with schizophrenic (患精神分裂症的) and autistic (患自闭症的) children in a hospital. The children received very little human contact, and their treatment consisted primarily of drug therapy.
It was when Jenkins was trying to connect with a depressed child named Eric that he discovered that by playing silly games he could make Eric smile and finally say Jenkins’s name.
“I won his trust with laughter,” Jenkins said. “I felt the only audience I was capable of acting the fool in front of were the autistic children, the only people that were more shy than me.”
Jenkins can speak French, Italian and Indonesian, but he said his secret to acceptance into foreign cultures is his ability to clown.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Clowns use laughter to overcome barriers. B. Ron Jenkins came to clowning successfully.
C. Laughter can win everything. D. Ron Jenkins becomes a successful doctor.
5 The underlined word “encompassing” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.

B. After he had a doctorate from Harvard University.
C. After he engaged in medicine.
D. When he worked overseas.

Most of us don’t put much thought into the way we smile when we have our picture taken or meet someone new, but a recent study by scientists in the US found that certain types of smiles have a better impact on people than others.
According to the study, having a “good” smile is an important way to present ourselves well to other people. “A lot of people don’t understand how important their smiles are and how important this aspect of communication we do with each other every day is,” said Stephen Guy, a co-author of the research.
But what exactly is a good smile, and how did the scientists come to their conclusion? A group of 802 members of the public, aging from 18 to 82, were shown a 3D animated face. The face displayed different types of smiles, and the subjects were asked to rate them, from “creepy” to “pleasant”.
After analyzing the results, the scientists discovered that the “best” smiles are the ones where the mouth is at an angle of between 13 and 17 degrees, and the mouth isn’t too broad or perfectly straight. In simple terms, don’t smile like a shark if you’re trying to make a good impression.
It’s believed that the findings could be used in a number of ways, including making video game characters appear more realistic. The scientists also hope their work will help doctors who are trying to restore facial movement to patients who have suffered from strokes or other conditions.
But Guy pointed out that nobody should feel bad if they don’t match up to his study’s definition of perfection. “It is important to be clear that there is not just one really, really good smile,” he said. “Just because your smile is different... doesn’t mean it is in any way bad.”
8. The scientists’ conclusion is supported by ________.
A. professional research that was conducted B. questionnaires collected by researchers
C. theories that have been proved D. experiments that were carried out in the past
9. What can we learn about a good smile according to the study?
A. The broader your mouth is, the better your smile will be.
B. There is no good smile at all.
C. It has something to do with the angle of your mouth.
D. The smile is bad if it doesn’t match up to the definition of perfection.
10. To which aspect can we apply the scientists’ findings?
A. Bringing facial movement back. B. Curing severe strokes
C. Solving all kinds of problems. D. Playing video games.
11. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. What Are the Benefits of Smiling? B. Why Is Smiling Important?
C. What Are the Different Ways of Smiling? D. What’s a Good Smile?
【答案】8 A 9. C 10. A 11. D

The face displayed different types of smiles, and the subjects were asked to rate them, from “creepy” to “pleasant”.(那么,究竟什么样的微笑才算得上是“好笑”呢?科学家又是如何得出这一结论的呢?他们让802名年龄在18岁至82岁之间的公众观看了一个3D动画脸。这个脸展示了各种类型的微笑,参与者需要对这些微笑进行评分,从“令人毛骨悚然”到“令人愉快”不等)”以及第四段“After analyzing the results, the scientists discovered that the “best” smiles are the ones where the mouth is at an angle of between 13 and 17 degrees, and the mouth isn’t too broad or perfectly straight. In simple terms, don’t smile like a shark if you’re trying to make a good impression.(在对结果进行分析后,科学家们发现,“最佳”的笑容应该是嘴角呈13到17度的倾斜角度,并且嘴角不能过于宽阔或过于笔直。简单来说,如果你想给人留下好印象,就不要像鲨鱼那样大口地张嘴笑)”可知,科学家的结论是基于所做的专业的研究而得出的。故选A。

Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of the classical writers like Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a great effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self-examination.
Using a special machine, they monitored the brain activity of 30 volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S. Eliot and others.
In the first part of the research, the brain activity of 30 volunteers was monitored as they read passages from Shakespeare’s plays, including King Lear, Othello, Coriolanus and Macbeth, and again as they read the text rewritten in a simpler form or modern language.
While reading the common texts, normal levels of electrical activity were shown in their brains. When they read the works of Shakespeare, however, the levels of activity jumped because of his use of words which were unfamiliar to them. The result of the test showed that the more challenging passages cause a greater degree of electrical activity in the brain than the common ones.
Scientists went on to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and recorded how it lit up as the readers came across unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentences in the classical works. As a result, this lightening up process of the mind lasted longer than that when volunteers read common texts, encouraging further reading.
The research also found that reading poetry especially increases activity in the right hemisphere (半球) of the brain, an area connected with “autobiographical memory”, driving the readers to think carefully about their own experiences based on what they have read. The academics said this meant the classical works of literature are more useful than self-help books.
Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study in the university’s magnetic resonance center, announced this week: “Classical literature acts like a rocket-booster to the brain, which provides extra power for the brain. You may never imagine how powerful it is. The research shows such kind of literature can create new thoughts and connections in the young and the old.”
12. The underlined word “triggers” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to“_______”.
A. stops B. keeps
C. interrupts D. causes
13. Which of the following is NOT true about reading classical literature?
A. It’s helpful for readers to come up with new ideas.
B. It’s an activity that is suitable for people of all ages.
C. It makes readers’ electrical activity of brain return to normal.
D. It makes readers’ brain more active than reading common texts.
14. From the research, we can learn that _______.
A. poetry increases left-brain activity more than other literary forms
B. the readers prefer Shakespeare’s works to the other writers’works
C. the words of classical works make it hard for volunteers to read further
D. reading classical works produces a good and long-lasting effect on the mind
15. What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?
A. Classical works help the brain develop better.
B. Poetry is useful for developing people’s brain.
C. Common books are unpopular anymore.
D. Shakespeare’s plays are worth reading.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A

Li Hua
【答案】Dear Jerry,
Thank you for your trust in me. I understand you are feeling upset now. I’d like to offer you some advice.
To begin with, you’d better have a heart-to-heart talk with your roommate who often stays up late reading e-books at night. You should let him know that you are seriously affected by his voice. What’s more, it is necessary to make him aware that it is harmful to his eyes to stare at the screen of a mobile phone and that it will affect his study at the same time if he hasn’t enough sleep. By the way, if you are too shy to talk with him, you can tell him about your feeling by writing him a letter. I believe he will understand you and give up the bad habit.
I hope you’ll find these ideas useful.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段文字,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As is known to all, the traffic is very poor and heavy. The bus or the train is really crowded. Every time I go home from my company or leave home for my company, I have to accept such a hard experience though I have been used to it.
On a cold December morning in 2020, I boarded a bus with my four bags which were large. Luckily, there were two empty seats left. About one hour later, a well-dressed young guy got on and took the seat next to mine. I was cautious. I would often come across guys who were eager to talk to a girl travelling on her own. So I was not surprised when he spoke up.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“Rampur Bushehr,” I replied briefly and put on my earphones to enjoy some music or to avoid talking with him. He did not bother me after that as if he had known my idea.
It started to rain and cold water was dropping through the roof right on to my lap. Seeing that, the guy emptied a plastic shopping bag full of clothes, which he pushed into his travel bag. He then handed me the plastic bag. I accepted it with a sheepish (困窘的) “thanks” before spreading it on my lap.
Minutes later, the bus broke down! The conductor announced we would have to move to another bus that would reach us shortly, and that there would be no more buses after that, since there had been heavy snowfalls. All the passengers of the bus got off and stood on the side of the road, ready to rush into the next bus. The conductor unwillingly helped me get off the bus with my luggage and I too waited with other passengers.
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。
When the bus finally arrived, it had many passengers already.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the bus left for my hometown, I looked around for the guy.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When the bus finally arrived, it had many passengers already. It seemed there wasn’t enough space for me, let alone my four bags. Seeing that, that young guy came to me, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you get on it.” As a stranger, he behaved too enthusiastically, which made me felt awkward, but I was curious about how he could make it. When the door opened, the guy rushed into the bus. Through the window, I saw he talked to the driver and pointed at me. After a while, the driver asked the crowd to make a path. I didn’t realize it was for me until everyone looked at me. Someone even helped to carry my luggage. It was really crowded on the bus, but at least I got on it.
As the bus left for my hometown, I looked around for the guy. He did me such a favor and I should say thanks to him, but not sheepish this time. However, reminded by another passenger, I found that he was on the side of the road, waving goodbye to me. I came to the window and shouted to him, “What’s your name?” The guy smiled but didn’t reply. The bus bumped its way slowly down the road, while his figure gradually faded away and my heart couldn’t be calm for a long time. We do have to accept hard experiences sometimes, but still can expect kindness and warmth.
