单元测评19　Unit 1　Laugh out loud！ (时间：30分钟　　满分：32.5分) (本栏目内容在学生用书中以活页形式分册装订！) Ⅰ.阅读理解(本题共8个小题，每小题2.5分，共20分) A (2024·南宁一模) It's well­known that humor 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 humor is the highest of the psyche's defense mechanism, capable of turning anxiety into pleasure. There are four humor styles.Affiliative humor refers to jokes about things that might be commonly considered funny, which is usually employed to improve relationships or make others laugh.If you've ever shared a funny picture with a co­worker, you've used affiliative humor.Self­enhancing humor 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 humor is laughing at the expense of others, which often involves sarcasm (讽刺), teasing, and criticism.Self­defeating humor is the art of putting yourself down to gain favor from your peers, which is possibly used by someone who's targeted by bullies. Each style of humor 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 self­enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others.By contrast, both aggressive and self­defeating humor styles can hint at trouble.“We find that self­defeating humor is the most concerning style as it is also linked with loneliness and feelings of not mattering.Those with an aggressive humor style may not experience loneliness as much, however, since they rely on group dynamics in order to make fun of their peers，” says Schermer. Even if you tend to favor more negative humor styles, there's no reason to lose heart.Schermer says people can develop a positive, self­enhancing humor 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 worries and anxieties.I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种不同的幽默类型，以及它们能带来的好处。 1．Why is Sigmund Freud's book mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To show the importance of mental health. B．To stress the role of humor. C．To persuade people to stay positive. D．To introduce ancient jokes to us. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。作者在第一段首先提到了 “The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been around since ancient times.”，紧接着提到弗洛伊德1905年的书。再根据第一段中弗洛伊德的观点 “humor is the highest of the psyche's defense mechanism, capable of turning anxiety into pleasure” 可推知，作者之所以提及弗洛伊德的书是为了强调幽默的作用，故选B。 2．According to the text, which kind of humor may you use to relieve pressure? A．Affiliative humor. B．Self­enhancing humor. C．Aggressive humor. D．Self­defeating humor. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “Self­enhancing humor 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嘲笑自己，经常被用来作为你应对压力或困难的一种方式，并让你感觉更好，故选B。 3．What does the underlined phrase “hint at” probably mean in the third paragraph? A．Signal. B．Explain. C．Prevent. D．Solve. 答案：A 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线短语上一句中的 “people using self­enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others” 可知，使用自我提升式幽默几乎不会呈现孤独或人际关系不佳。并结合画线短语所在句中的“By contrast”可知， 前后句之间形成了转折关系。因此，转折之后提到攻击性幽默和自我挫败式幽默应该会暗示麻烦，由此可知，画线短语hint at意为“暗示”，故A 项与画线短语的意思最为接近，故选A。 4．Which of the following will Kurt Vonnegut probably agree with? A．Humor is difficult to control. B．Crying is a good way of relief. C．Humor is a double­edged sword. D．Laughter is the best cure for stress. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中 Kurt Vonnegut 所说的话 “Laughter and tears are both responses to worries and anxieties.I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward” 可知， Kurt Vonnegut认为笑和哭都是对担忧和焦虑的反应，他更喜欢笑。由此可推知，他很可能会认可D 项的观点，故选D。 B (2025·天域全国名校协作体联考) The text from my son said it all: “Dad, there's an article you were born to write that the world is finally ready for: Bring Back the Handkerchief！” As my son knows, there's no “bring back” for me.For me, the handkerchief never left. My mother raised me with several fixed rules.One was that a gentleman always had a clean handkerchief in his right rear pocket, a piece of simple cotton, roughly 15 inches square and less than four inches when folded.I was a dutiful son, but as a child, I had been wondering what it was there for. After 60 years, my body weight now feels wrong if I'm heading out of the house with an empty back pocket. I am sure this habit has sometimes struck friends, but in a polite company nobody comments on somebody else's business.Children like my kids think of my hankie ridiculously old­fashioned and they have their arguments.If you have to be prepared every day for allergies or a cold, why not choose a little packet of tissues, which saves you from that disgusting business of blowing your nose in the thing and then stuffing it back in your pants? Point taken.But a handkerchief is more durable and has a far wider variety of uses.Can you grab the handle of a pot that's boiling over with a Kleenex? Or do you recall the cases of skinned knees and drippy noses that hankie wiped? In fact, my wife gave me several new handkerchiefs as gifts.Neither of us can count the number of times her eyes have welled up at a movie, or, as happens, she's needed to blow her nose. Yet not even my mother could have anticipated the hankie's new role as an Essential Public Health Appliance.All of us have learned how hard it is to follow advice from medical experts about not touching your face.Here is an answer.Use your hankie.In case of emergency, your handkerchief can become a makeshift DIY mask that can be pulled over your lower face like a robber entering a bank. And it will certainly give me the chance to lift my chin and look at my adult children through one eye, asking in her good­hearted way, “What do you have to say now, smarty­pants？” 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用幽默的口吻描述了手帕在新时代下的作用更迭。 5．What kind of person is the author in the eyes of his son? A．His father is a born writer. B．His father lost his handkerchief long ago. C．His father will bring back the handkerchief. D．His father has a habit of using handkerchief. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的 “For me, the handkerchief never left.” 及第三段中的 “After 60 years, my body weight now feels wrong if I'm heading out of the house with an empty back pocket.” 可知，对于作者来说，手帕从未离开过。60年过去了，现在如果两手空空地走出家门，作者也会感觉不对劲。由此可推知，在作者儿子看来，作者一直有使用手帕的习惯。故选D。 6．How do the younger generation like the handkerchief? A．They adore it very much. B．They regard it as fashionable. C．They consider it inconvenient. D．They desire to have their own someday. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的后两句 “...think of my hankie ridiculously old­fashioned...why not choose a little packet of tissues, which saves you from that disgusting business of blowing your nose in the thing and then stuffing it back in your pants？” 可知，作者的孩子们认为作者的手帕过时得可笑，还建议选择一小包纸巾，这样就不用再用手帕擤鼻涕，然后再把手帕塞回裤子里了。由此可推知，年轻人认为手帕不如纸巾方便。故选C。 7．What can be learned from the passage? A．The function of handkerchiefs has been updated. B．Handkerchiefs will be taken over by tissues sooner or later. C．The author's wife feels embarrassed to give him a handkerchief. D．The author was ridiculed by his friends for his use of handkerchiefs. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第六段中的 “Yet not even my mother could have anticipated the hankie's new role as an Essential Public Health Appliance.” 可知，即使是作者的母亲也没有预料到手帕作为一种基本公共卫生用品的新角色。并结合下文“In case of emergency, your handkerchief can become a makeshift DIY mask...” 可知，在紧急情况下，你的手帕可以成为一个临时的自制面具。由此可推知，手帕的功能日新月异了。故选A。 8．What's the tone of the author in the passage? A．Bossy. B．Humorous. C．Pessimistic. D．Critical. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章中作者以一种轻松幽默的语气描述了自己对手帕的偏爱，并且用 “What do you have to say now, smarty­pants? ” 这样的话语来挑战他的孩子，这表明作者的笔调幽默诙谐。故选B。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(本题共5个小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分) (2025·甘肃诊断) As our lives become more closely connected with the digital age, it's more important than ever to keep the spark of human connections, a key part of which is making small talk. 1 Here's how to master the art of small talk. The cornerstone of effective small talk lies in developing genuine interest.Genuine interest is about actively seeking to understand the other person, valuing their perspectives and appreciating the uniqueness they bring to the conversation. 2 Small talk extends beyond spoken words; it includes the art of observation.As you engage in conversation, pay attention to the speaker's body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. 3 Being familiar with them not only helps you navigate the conversation with sensitivity but also enables you to establish a deeper connection by respecting the slight differences of the other person's communication style. Actually listening and connecting with someone are essential for a conversation.By providing your undivided attention, you convey respect and interest in what the other person has to say. 4 Ask follow­up questions to show that you value their insights.This depth of engagement lays the foundation for a more meaningful connection. At the heart of successful small talk lies the authenticity(真实性) of your engagement.Authenticity fosters a sense of trust and connection, making the conversation more meaningful and memorable.Avoid the temptation to project an image or use scripted responses. 5 In the world of small talk, authenticity is the key that unlocks the door to deeper connections and more fulfilling interactions. A．Instead, let your true self shine through. B．Some accessible topics are great for small talk. C．Active listening involves fully engaging with the speaker. D．Focus on understanding their viewpoints beyond simply hearing words. E．The signals provide valuable insights into their emotions and intentions. F．Small talk may be a gateway to building rich and meaningful relationships. G．By expressing authentic curiosity you make the other person feel seen and heard. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了闲聊的艺术。 1．答案：F 解析：空前提到人际交往的很重要的一部分是闲聊，空后则讲到了掌握闲聊艺术的方式，由此可知，空处承上启下，应该会讲到闲聊的作用或重要性，故F 项 “闲聊可能是建立丰富而有意义的关系的途径。” 符合语境。 2．答案：G 解析：本段第一句讲到有效闲聊的基础是培养真诚的兴趣，第二句则讲了什么是真诚的兴趣。因此，空处承接上文，应该会讲到真诚的兴趣(好奇心)的作用，故G项“通过表达真诚的好奇心，你会使对方感受到被关注和倾听。”符合语境，故选G。 3．答案：E 解析：根据空后的 “Being familiar with them” 可知，空处应该会讲到一个表示物的复数名词；再结合空前的 “pay attention to the speaker's body language, facial expressions and tone of voice” 可知，空处应该讲到关注这些肢体语言、面部表情、语言等信号的好处，故E项 “这些信号对他们的情绪和意图提供了有价值的见解。” 符合语境。 4．答案：D 解析：根据空后的 “Ask follow­up questions” 可知，此处讲的是闲聊的时候不仅要听他们说的话，还要全神贯注去理解他们的观点并问问题以表示对他们见解的重视，故D项 “专注于理解他们的观点，而不仅仅是简单地听听(他们说的)话。” 符合语境。 5．答案：A 解析：结合本段的第一句话可知，真实性是闲聊成功的关键。结合空前的 “避免试图表现出某种形象或使用照本宣科的回应。” 可知，空处应该会讲到怎么做才能展示真实性，故A项 “相反，让你真正的自我闪耀光芒。” 符合语境。 学生用书第152页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
