Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Humor Dictionary Observational humour is based on comments about everyday life.Comedians who use this type of humour often start by saying，Have you ever noticed how...? Then，they make funny comments about everyday things such as work，marriage，children，etc.This trend began in the 1970s with US comedians such as Bill Cosby and Jay Leno. Slapstick humour is very physical.It involves characters falling down，hitting people or crashing into things.This type of comedy is very common in cartoons such as Tom and Jerry，Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.Typical comedians，such as Laurel，Hardy (from The Three Stooges)，Charlie Chaplin，Rowan Atkinson are people's favorites. Self­deprecating humour involves making jokes about yourself or drawing attention to your faults.George Costanza from the comedy series Seinfeld uses a lot of self­deprecating humour，often making jokes about his lack of hair，his weight and his shallow personality.Comedians such as Chris Farley，Conan O'Brien，David Letterman and Woody Allen also use self­deprecating comedy. Toilet humour often focuses on the noises and functions of the body.It's often viewed as rude，impolite and childish，although many people find it very funny.There is a hilarious scene involving toilet humour in the film Along Came Polly，Reuben (Ben Stiller) is invited back to Polly's apartment (Jennifer Aniston).After dinner，Reuben accidentally blocks the toilet.In an attempt to unblock it，he uses her hand­embroidered towel (a gift from her grandmother) and an expensive loofah.Eventually，the toilet overflows，leaving Reuben with no option but to leave. [语篇解读]　本文是说明文。文章介绍了四种幽默。 1．What kind of humour is about comments on everyday things? A．Self­deprecating humour. B．Slapstick humour. C．Observational humour. D．Toilet humour. 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Observational humour is based on comments about everyday life”可知，观察幽默是基于对日常生活的评论。故选C。 2．Which statement about Slapstick humour is correct? A．It can only be seen in cartoons. B．It mainly uses body movements. C．It's the most popular humor. D．It often laughs at people and things. 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Slapstick humour is very physical.It involves characters falling down，hitting people or crashing into things.”可知，闹剧幽默主要运用身体动作。故选B。 3．Which of the following belongs to Self­deprecating humour? A．George often teased himself about his bald head. B．Bill Cosby often made funny comments on children. C．Laurel often fell down on stage，and broke the microphone. D．Tom made a thundering noise when he went to the toilet. 解析：A　推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Self­deprecating humour involves making jokes about yourself or drawing attention to your faults.”可知，“乔治经常取笑他的秃头”属于Self­deprecating humour。故选A。 4．If you are interested in toilet humour，you can go to see ． A．Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck B．Tom and Jerry C．The Three Stooges D．Along Came Polly 解析：D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There is a hilarious scene involving toilet humour in the film Along Came Polly，Reuben (Ben Stiller) is invited back to Polly's apartment (Jennifer Aniston).”可知，如果你对厕所幽默感兴趣，你可以去看Along Came Polly。 故选D。 B There are two types of people in the world.Although they have an equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life，one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things，persons，events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation，the well­prepared dishes，the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.Therefore，they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks，they sour the pleasure of society，hurt many people，and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature，such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied.The intention of criticising and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation.It grows into a habit，unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong，but it may be cured when those who have it realise its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning will be of service to them，and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination，it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them，and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect.This frequently puts them in a bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at getting some advantages in the social position or fortune，nobody wishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favour their hopes.If they bring on themselves public objections，no one will defend or excuse them，and many will join to criticise their wrongdoings.They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing，without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.If they do not，it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.Otherwise，it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient，especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处。作者建议不快乐的人对令人愉悦的事物感到满意，以此希望他们能够快乐。 5．What does the underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most probably mean? A．Make others unhappy. B．Enjoy the pleasure of life. C．Tend to please others openly. D．Have a good taste with social life. 解析：A　词义猜测题。由第二段中的“hurt many people，and make themselves disagreeable everywhere”可知，通过他们的言论，他们伤害了许多人，使他们自己在任何地方都不讨人喜欢。此处and连接的三部分并列，因此它们的意思应该是接近的，他们那样说话会伤害别人的情感，会让别人不开心。由此可以判断出A选“让别人不开心”最接近画线部分的意思。故选A。 6．What can we conclude from the text? A．We should pity all such unhappy people. B．People can get rid of the habit of unhappiness. C.Such unhappy people are dangerous to social life. D．Unhappy people cannot understand happy people. 解析：B　推理判断题。由第二段中的“The habit may be strong，but it may be cured when those who have it realise its bad effects on their interests and tastes.”可知，当那些有这种习惯的人意识到它对他们的兴趣和爱好有不良影响时，即便这种习惯是根深蒂固的，它也可能会被改掉。由此可知，人们可以摆脱不快乐的习惯。故选B。 7．If such unhappy people insist on keeping the habit，the author suggests people should ． A．show no respect for them B．prevent any communication with them C．persuade them to recognise the bad effects D．quarrel with them until they realise the mistakes 解析：B　细节理解题。由最后一段中的“They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing，without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.If they do not，it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.”可知，这些人应该改变这种不良习惯，对令人愉悦的事物感到满意，而不要不必要地担心自己和他人。如果他们不这样做，那么其他人最好避免与他们接触。故选B。 8．What is the purpose of the text? A．To describe two types of people in the world: happy and unhappy. B．To laugh at unhappy people and let us avoid such kind of people. C．To suggest unhappy people should remove the habit of unhappiness. D．To suggest people should fix their attention on happy things. 解析：C　推理判断题。由文章第一段以及后文可知，短文介绍了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处。结合上一题的分析可知，作者着重建议不快乐的人对令人愉悦的事物感到满意，以此希望他们能够快乐。所以通过本文，作者主要建议不快乐的人改掉不快乐的习惯。故选C。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2025·山东威海高二上期中)Soon after my arrival in Luanda，I realized that I was going to have some free time available.I decided to spend it doing something 1 and involving in the local community.
