Ⅲ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分) A You’ve probably heard the saying，“Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it，using stand-up comedy to help treat people struggling with depression and anxiety in partnership with the NHS. The idea stemmed from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences of teaching comedy at Bristol University.She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient(有恢复力的) they were thanks to stand-up comedy. Inspired，she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with depression in January 2022.Following the success of this initial course，Comedy on Referral won NHS funding to help men at risk of killing themselves in London. Belcher will work alongside psychologists and men who have experienced self-killing events to use comedy as a form of therapy(疗法)． Talking to The Bristol Post，Belcher said，“Past depressions are perfect for comedy.Comedy doesn’t come from the happy，perfect moments of your life，but from our everyday struggles and major life events.People who’ve been through big life experiences such as the death of a close relation and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their stories，mostly because there’s always something strangely funny about the situation.” Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects，such as decreasing levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and increasing endorphins (chemicals making you feel relaxed)．It can even have physiological benefits，although less research has been done in this area.Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular(心血管的) benefits.More research is needed to prove these findings. Nonetheless，the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted，and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“转诊喜剧”项目从“笑是最好的药”这一理念出发，利用喜剧帮助治疗那些与抑郁和焦虑作斗争的人。 1．Why is the saying used at the beginning of the text? A．To attract readers’ attention. B．To introduce the topic. C．To demonstrate a theory. D．To present a statement. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中“Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it，using stand-up comedy to help treat people struggling with depression and anxiety in partnership with the NHS.”可知，文章在引用“笑是最好的药”谚语后，开始介绍采用了这一理念的“转诊喜剧”项目，全文围绕该项目展开。由此推知，文章开头提到该谚语是为了引入话题。故选B。 2．What did teaching comedy inspire Angie Belcher to do? A．She set up a new company for the struggling patients. B．She took an effort to run after the success of her course. C．She created a six-week comedy course for depressed patients. D．She raised money to help men at risk of killing themselves. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段内容和第三段中“Inspired，she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with depression in January 2022.”可知，教授喜剧启发了她，她为抑郁患者开设了为期六周的喜剧课程。故选C。 3．What is the benefit of laughter according to researches? A．Bringing the depressed at ease. B．Making struggling patients energetic. C．Building up the patients’ willpower. D．Ensuring the patients to be pain-free. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Research has shown that laughter has positive...increasing endorphins (chemicals making you feel relaxed)．”可知，研究发现笑能降低压力水平，让抑郁的人放松下来。故选A。 4．What is probably the best title of this text? A．Using Stand-up Comedy Improves Wellbeing B．Depression and Anxiety Can Be Cured Now C．The Initial Course Proves to Be Successful D．Laughter Is Actually Being Used as Medicine 答案　D 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章围绕“转诊喜剧”项目展开，该项目从“笑是最好的药”这一理念出发，利用喜剧帮助治疗那些与抑郁和焦虑作斗争的人，因此D项“笑真的正在被用作药物”符合文章大意，最适合作为标题。故选D。 B “Funny or die” has a whole new meaning，thanks to a study published in April in a medical journal.Women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer although they were ill，especially for those with heart problems and infection(感染)．Happy men seemed to be protected against infection. The researchers reported the findings from a 15-year study on the connection between the sense of humor and death among 53,556 women and men in their country.The team studied the influence of humor on people’s way of thinking，social skills and emotion development，and examined death from different conditions：heart problems，infection and other health problems. The findings showed that for women，those who had high scores on a humorous way of thinking had a 48 percent less risk of death from all causes，a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart problems and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infection.For men，a connection was found only for the risk of death from infection—those with high humor scores had a 74 percent reduced risk.The researchers suggested the sex differences could be due to a small decrease in humor scores as the men aged.No connection was found for the influence of humor on social skills and emotion development. “The humorous way of thinking plays an important role in people’s personality(性格) and may influence the way people cope with everyday life，” said study co-researcher Sven Svebak.“In this way，it may help reduce fighting in daily life，preventing the build-up of stress.” Although the sense of humor is a natural characteristic(特征)，it can also be developed through social activities. “I expect that children whose parents have no sense of humor when feeling challenges are less likely to develop their sense of humor to cope with everyday life when they grow up，” Sven Svebak said.“But if you had a humorless childhood，never fear—studies show people can learn to be humorous at any age.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了幽默感与死亡之间的联系，幽默感强的人死于各种疾病的风险较低。 5．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Humor could benefit people’s health. B．Joyful women can live longer than happy men. C．Women who seldom laugh may fall ill easily. D．Humor makes people pay more attention to their health. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer although they were ill，especially for those with heart problems and infection(感染)．Happy men seemed to be protected against infection.”可知，幽默有益于人们的健康。故选A。 6．Why do men have a higher risk of death from infection than women? A．Men have poor memories as they age. B．Men become less humorous as they grow older. C．Men have bad sleeping quality as they grow older. D．Men take part in fewer social activities as they age. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“The findings showed that for women...The researchers suggested the sex differences could be due to a small decrease in humor scores as the men aged.”可知，男性感染的死亡风险高于女性是由于随着年龄的增长，男性的幽默得分略有下降，即男性年纪越大越不幽默。故选B。 7．How does the author show the research findings? A．By listing data. B．By giving examples. C．By stating arguments. D．By making experiments. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“The findings showed that for women...had a 48 percent less risk of death from all causes，a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart problems and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infection...had a 74 percent reduced risk.”可知，作者是通过列数据来展示研究结果的。故选A。 8．Which of the following would Sven Svebak agree with? A．Humorous people have an unhappy childhood. B．Children must learn to be humorous at an early age. C．Humorous people can better deal with pressure in life. D．Parents with a sense of humor are better at child education. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段前两句可推知，Sven Svebak赞同幽默的人能更好地应对生活中的压力。故选C。 训练10　Reading Club(B)　[分值：32.5分] Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分) A Portia Kapraun has always seen unwelcome ads on Twitter，usually from major brands pitching(竭力推销) expensive jewelry or vehicles that she，as a librarian in Indiana，could not afford.Ms Kapraun was not interested.But she soon saw the ads again.And again.And again.“These feel like low-end ads，” she said.In a shaky advertising market in an uncertain economy，ads that few people want to see suddenly seem to be everywhere. Advancements in digital advertising technology were meant to improve users’ experience.People interested in shoes are intended to get ads for sneakers and boots，not repeated pitches promoting gold investments.And the technology is supposed to remove misleading or dangerous pitches.But lately，on several platforms，the opposite seems to be happening for a variety of reasons，including a slowdown in the overall digital ad market.As numerous deep-pocketed marketers have pulled back，and the softer market has led several digital platforms to lower their ad pricing，opportunities have opened up for less demanding advertisers. Advertising experts agree that poor-quality ads appear to be increasing greatly.They point to a variety of potential causes：internal troubles at technology companies，weak content moderation(审核)，and high-level advertisers seeking other choices.Then，there’s the economy：A recent survey of 43 multinational companies representing more than $44 billion in advertising spending found that nearly 30 percent planned to cut back on their marketing spending last year. Other factors are also contributing to lower advertising quality.Social media advertising，once only practiced by specialists，is now easily available to anyone.Many of them are avoiding targeted ads—placements intended to reach specific audiences，usually at a higher cost—in favor of a cheaper spray-and-pray(广撒网式的) approach online，hoping to catch the attention of gullible(容易受骗的) or bored shoppers.Major social media platforms are now like “a mall that used to be good”，Corey Richardson，vice president at a multicultural ad company，says.“But now there’s no longer a mall there—it’s just a place selling anything.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是由于数字广告市场的低迷和经济的不确定性，用户开始在社交媒体平台上遇到越来越多低质量的广告，这些低质量的广告导致主要的社交媒体平台逐渐变得没有吸引力，只剩下了一些低价的广告商。 1．What message does the author want to deliver in Portia Kapraun’s story? A．Repeated ads have a strong power of persuasion. B．Social media users often encounter unwanted ads. C．Major brands usually prefer social media advertising. D．An uncertain economy leads to lower levels of consumption. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。 根据第一段中“Portia Kapraun has always seen unwelcome ads on Twitter，...And again.And again.”以及该段最后一句可知，作者想在Portia Kapraun的故事中传达的信息是社交媒体用户经常会遇到不需要的广告。故选B。 2．What can be inferred about the “less demanding advertisers” mentioned in paragraph 2? A．They are forced to exit the digital ad market. B．They have benefited from advertising experts. C．They work hard to improve their users’ experience. D．They can now advertise at a more affordable price. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。 根据第二段中“As numerous deep-pocketed marketers have pulled back，and the softer market has led several digital platforms to lower their ad pricing，opportunities have opened up for...”可推知，由于财力雄厚的商人退出市场和市场疲软导致很多数字平台降低了广告的定价，很多要求很低的广告商获得了机会，能够以较低的价格投放广告。故选D。 3．What is Corey Richardson’s attitude to major social media platforms? A．Negative. B．Unclear. C．Favorable. D．Hopeful. 答案　A 解析　观点态度题。 根据最后一段中“Major social media platforms are now like ‘a mall that used to be good’...it’s just a place selling anything.”可知，Corey Richardson认为如今社交媒体平台变成了只卖东西的地方，由此可知，他对当前社交媒体平台的态度是消极的。故选A。 4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Where Is Social Media Advertising Heading? B．What Is Shaking up the Online Advertising Market? C．Why Are You Seeing So Many Bad Digital Ads Now? D．How Are Targeted Ads Impacting Your Purchase Decisions? 答案　C 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段最后两句、第三段前两句和第四段第一句可知，本文主要讲的是由于数字广告市场的低迷和经济的不确定性，用户开始在社交媒体平台上遇到越来越多低质量的广告，这些低质量的广告导致主要的社交媒体平台逐渐变得没有吸引力，只剩下了一些低价的广告商。因此C选项“Why Are You Seeing So Many Bad Digital Ads Now？”适合作文章标题。故选C。 B David Brown is known as the world’s fastest completely blind runner.He was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at 15 months old，which led him to completely lose his sight by age 13. Brown says he was living in fear for a number of years until he discovered his passion for running.After winning an essay contest，he earned the ticket for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008.It was at that time that he knew he wanted to compete himself. Paralympic runners train and compete alongside sighted guides.At the Rio Games in 2016，Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10.99 in the men’s 100-meter dash to take home the gold.Brown made his way to running from another sport.He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3，and lost vision in his right eye over time.He played basketball as a kid，but was increasingly getting injured because he couldn’t see the ball coming.“I took the opportunity to run on the playground，and realized I had some speed there，” he says. He pursued his passion at the Missouri School for the Blind.Brown started at the school when he was 11，and it was there that he really started running track. He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running.Brown was one of the 25 winners of an essay contest that got to attend the event in Beijing.He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome obstacles，noting that as he grew up he struggled with depression. It’s important to be in sync with your running partner.His new partner Steward says he doesn’t have to slow down when running with Brown，because he’s fast.A 10- or 11-second race doesn’t require much speaking，Steward says.“It’s also an honor，” Brown says.He notes that Paralympic runners can’t do what they do without guides like Steward，who could theoretically run solo but choose not to.He calls it “a great honor”． 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了大卫·布朗是世界上跑得最快的全盲运动员。他在15个月大时被诊断出患有川崎病，导致他在13岁时完全失明。文章讲述了他的个人经历以及成就。 5．What made David Brown decide to take part in the competition himself?

A．His change in personal interest. B．The decline and loss of his vision. C．The diagnosis with Kawasaki disease. D．His participation in his first Paralympic games. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3...and realized I had some speed there”可知，视力的衰退和丧失让大卫·布朗从篮球转向跑步。故选B。 7．What can we know about David Brown’s essay? A．It was inspiring. B．It was interesting. C．It was pessimistic. D．It was depressing. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running...noting that as he grew up he struggled with depression.”可知，大卫·布朗的文章很鼓舞人心。故选A。 8．Which proverb best describes David Brown’s story? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Every dog has its day. C．Where there is a will，there is a way. D．Hope for the best，prepare for the worst. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段内容并结合全文可知，大卫·布朗在15个月大时被诊断出患有川崎病，导致他在13岁时完全失明，但凭借对跑步的热情，克服了困难，赢得了奥运会金牌。由此可推知，“有志者，事竟成”最能描述他的故事。故选C。 Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Your joke never works？Or，being humorous is just too hard for you？Some even think that being funny is something people are born with，not to be learned. 1 Tell funny stories.Sometimes，the funniest thing you can do is to tell a funny story. 2 However，your audience will likely find that something that actually happened will be a little more humorous.Think of a few true funny things and tell those stories when it is proper. Make the end funny.When you try to surprise your friends with a funny story or joke，put the surprise at the end. 3 You might say “And do you know what was in my car when I opened the door，Rebecca？A cat！” This will be funnier than saying “And，Rebecca，a cat was in my car when I opened the door！” 4 Check out comedy clubs in your area and study the comedians.What kinds of jokes or stories worked with the audience and what didn’t？Notice what things made you laugh the most and tell similar stories and jokes in your personal life.You can also watch comedy shows online if you can’t find a local club.
