Both Twain and Wang understood that humour isn't just about laughter, but is a way of life and a tool that can be used to illuminate the world.
Your presentation:
Humour impacts social relationships by creating bonds.It aids cultural understanding as it reveals shared aspects.Also, humour is a form of social commentary, highlighting issues in an approachable way.It can bridge gaps between people, enhance cultural exchanges, making it a valuable aspect of human interaction and cultural exploration.
Humour has been an essential part of human behaviour for thousands of years.There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece, and medieval① writings are filled with jokes.[1] While these same jokes might not be as funny to us now as they were then, their authors understood that humour could not only entertain but also throw new light on② sensitive or emotive③ issues.
[1] 本句为复合句。while引导让步状语从句,主句中that引导宾语从句,从句中并列连词not only...,but also...连接并列谓语部分。

adj.中世纪的,
中古时期的
②throw light on
使人了解;阐明
③emotive
adj.使情绪激动的
[2]Closer to modern times, someone who is remembered for his ability to combine humour with more serious messages is American writer Mark Twain. Twain's particular style of writing is funny and often mischievous④. For example, in his classic novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, he famously says, “Writing is easy.All you have to do is cross out the wrong words.” But he is equally well known for his witty⑤ remarks in his everyday interactions with people. For instance, while on a lecture tour of the United States, Twain went into a barber's shop to get a
④mischievous a
dj.调皮的,淘气的
⑤witty
adj.说话风趣的,
妙趣横生的
haircut and a shave⑥. The barber, not recognising him, asked if he had a ticket to the lecture. When Twain replied that he didn't, the barber told him that if he wanted to go to the event he would have to stand, as there were no seats left in the theatre. Twain's response was, “That's just my luck. I always have to stand when that fellow lectures!”
[2] 本句为复合句。逗号前是时间状语;主句部分是someone is American writer Mark Twain,关系代词who引导定语从句,修饰先行词someone。
⑥shave
n.刮脸,刮胡子
Like Twain, but on the other side of the world, the Chinese writer Wang Zengqi was soon to become famous for his own unique brand of humour⑦.[3] In his essay “On Humour”,Wang used fewer than 600 characters to introduce several humorous examples of famous people, concluding that, “The world is full of amusing things.The thought of them would always make you laugh out loud, even when you're just sitting by yourself.”
[3] 本句为复合句。第一个逗号前是介词短语作状语;主句结构为:sb.use sth.to do某人用某物去做……;concluding that...是非谓语动词作状语。
⑦unique brand of humour
独特的幽默风格
Wang believed that humour not only shows one's personality, but also reflects a person's attitude towards life.He himself gives the best example to the word “humour”.One day, one of his readers flattered⑧ him by saying, “Gaoyou is famous for, first, the poet Qin Shaoyou, and second, Wang Zengqi.” Wang didn't show any displeasure⑨ but only gave a gentle response, “No.Gaoyou salted duck eggs are much more famous than me.I can only stay in the third place.” On another occasion, Wang was invited to give a speech in the US and was scheduled to speak last.He walked to the podium⑩ and began, “Unfortunately, none of today's speakers have last names starting with X, Y, or Z, so I am the last one to speak.Speaking last is difficult because everyone is already very tired.But don't worry.My speech will be as short as a rabbit's tail.”
⑧flatter
v.奉承,讨好
⑨displeasure
n.不高兴,不悦
⑩podium
n.表演台,讲台
⑪illuminate
v.照亮,照明
⑫smooth sailing
一帆风顺
Both Twain and Wang understood that humour isn't just about laughter, but is a way of life and a tool that can be used to illuminate⑪ the world.Wang once said, “Life may be like a dream, short and uncertain.But I pour my true feelings into it.The world gave me its love first, so I cannot help but love it back.” Life is never smooth sailing⑫ and sometimes can be complicated and cruel.But humour can help us maintain our enthusiasm for life.In fact, some may argue that our need for humour is almost as great as our need for water and air.In the words of Mark Twain, “Humor is mankind's greatest blessing”.
幽默的重要性
数千年来幽默一直是人类行为的重要组成部分。古希腊的文献中就有喜剧元素,中世纪的著作中也充满了笑话。虽然这些笑话对现在的我们来说可能不像当时那么有趣,但它们的作者明白,幽默不仅能带来娱乐,还能为敏感或情绪化的问题带来新的启示。
到了近现代,美国作家马克·吐温因擅长用幽默的方式表达严肃的内容而著称。吐温独特的写作风格诙谐有趣且常常带有调侃的意味。例如,在他的经典小说《汤姆·索亚历险记》中,他有一句名言:“写作很容易,你所要做的就是把错误的单词划掉。” 但他在日常与人交往中的机智言辞也同样出名。比如,在美国巡回演讲时,吐温走进一家理发店理发、刮胡子。理发师没有认出他,问他有没有演讲的门票。
当吐温回答说没有时,理发师告诉他,如果他想去听演讲,就得站着,因为剧院里已经没有座位了。吐温回应道:“我就是这么倒霉。那个家伙演讲时我总是得站着!”
和吐温类似,在世界的另一端,中国作家汪曾祺很快就以其独特的幽默风格而闻名。在《论幽默》一文中,汪曾祺用不到 600 字介绍了几个名人的幽默事例,并总结道:“世间充满了有趣的事,想想它们,你自己一个人坐着也会放声大笑。”
汪曾祺认为,幽默不仅能展现一个人的个性,还能反映一个人对生活的态度。他自己就是 “幽默” 一词的最佳例证。有一天,一位读者奉承他说:“高邮出名的,第一是秦少游,第二是汪曾祺。” 汪曾祺没有表现出不悦,只是温和地回应道:“不对。高邮咸鸭蛋比我有名得
多,我只能排在第三位。” 还有一次,汪曾祺受邀在美国演讲,被安排在最后一个发言。他走上讲台,开口说道:“很不幸,今天的演讲者的姓中没有以X、Y 或 Z 开头的,所以我是最后一个发言的。最后一个发言很难,因为大家都已经很累了。不过别担心,我的演讲会像兔子尾巴一样短。”
吐温和汪曾祺都明白,幽默不仅仅关于欢笑,它还是一种生活方式,是一种可以用来照亮世界的工具。汪曾祺曾说:“生活可能像一场梦,短暂而不确定。但我将真情投入其中。世界先给予了我它的爱,所以我不得不回报这份爱。” 生活从来都不是一帆风顺的,有时会很复杂和残酷。但幽默能帮助我们保持对生活的热情。事实上,有人可能会说,我们对幽默的需求几乎和我们对水和空气的需求一样大。用马克·吐温的话来说:“幽默是人类头等的幸事。”

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2025·山东青岛高二上期中)For a lucky 32 percent or so of humans, happiness may seem like a matter of good genes.That's because their DNA encodes (解码) for certain personality quality, like outgoing and low anxiety, which are closely linked to increased levels of life satisfaction.In studies of twins, those genetic differences help explain why one was happier with their life than the other.
But a happy life isn't entirely determined by genetics.For the most part, your happiness is impacted by environmental and behavioral factors, aspects of your lives over which we can exercise some control.And there are more direct ways to boost our happiness level, too.
Often referred to as “positive psychology”,a growing body of evidence suggests there are interventions that can teach people happiness skills, like how to be more compassionate with themselves, or how to enjoy positive experiences.Some emphasize reflecting on your personal strengths and values.Others involve thoughts or connecting with others.Admittedly, none will lead to excitement—but they can make a meaningful difference in your life.
A researcher Lyubomirsky compares learning happiness to creating exercise habits; a routine that has to be practiced frequently.One strategy she recommends is writing thankyou letters to people in your life.
But there's no magic set of practices, though.That's why Lyubomirsky says it's important to find techniques that work for you.If a thankyou letter gets boring or isn't your thing, try calling a friend or thinking.
But neither genes nor clinically tested exercises can protect people from the reality that life is hard.During the pandemic, Santos found herself overworked, exhausted and nearly close to burnout.She was fortunate enough to take a holiday and practice the strategies.The experience has been an important reminder for Santos that even the most scientifically supported exercises can't help if you don't do them.
“The strategies I teach work, ” she says.“But you have to make sure you're following them and putting them into practice, which takes regular work and effort.”

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
(2025·山西高二上期中)Laughter is a universal language for humans to connect with each other and form social bonds.Even as babies, we giggle (咯咯笑) when our parents pull funny faces, and then gradually learn to make others laugh as we grow up.But, is it a uniquely human experience?1( ).
Have you ever seen dogs let people come close to their toy, and then playfully run away with it? Marc Bekoff, biology professor at the University of Colorado, also observed dogs playfully teasing each other by approaching slowly and then quickly running away.2( ).And he's also said that animals may spend time doing silly things as a way to cope with stress.
In a 2024 study, Isabelle Laumer and colleagues watched four ape (猿类) species interact with each other.3( ).They saw young apes approach quietly behind an adult, push them to surprise them and then wait and watch the response, behaviour similar to that shown by human children.So, a sense of humour may have appeared early in our evolutionary timeline.
4( ).While playing, dogs sometimes produce a breathy snort (喷鼻息) that could sound like laughter, says Jeffrey Burgdorf, professor at Northwestern University.
But, are the apes in Laumer's study really joking around or just attentionseeking? What would be the evolutionary purpose of animals teasing? “In humans, humour can serve as an icebreaker, removing social barriers and strengthening relationships,” says Laumer.“5( ).”
A.What about laughing?
B.The sound of their laughter died away.
C.Dogs can hear much better than humans.
D.His work concluded that dogs just want to have fun.
E.Meanwhile, they observed 18 distinct teasing behaviours.
F.We don't know if it's the same in apes or other animals, but it's possible.
G.Scientists have observed behaviours in animals that suggest your pets might be secret jokesters.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。有大量证据表明动物们和人类一样喜欢互相捉弄对方,而且它们这样做完全是出于好玩!
1.解析:选G。根据上文“But, is it a uniquely human experience?”可知,本句回答上文提出的问题,G选项中pets与第二段中的 dogs相呼应。故G项“科学家已经观察到动物的行为,表明你的宠物可能是秘密的开玩笑者”回答了该问题。故选G。
2.解析:选D。设空处承上启下。上文讲述了狗的行为,本句承接上文,说明这个教授对这些狗的行为的研究发现。故D项“他的研究结论是狗只是想找乐子”符合语境。故选D。
3.解析:选E。设空处承上启下。上文提到了观察猿类,后文举例说明了猿类具体的捉弄行为。本句承接上文,说明观察的结果,故E项“同时,他们观察到18种不同的戏弄行为”符合语境。故选E。
4.解析:选A。设空处为段首句。根据后文的描述可知,本段主要说明了动物会发出笑声的情况。故A项“那笑呢?”符合语境。故选A。
5.解析:选F。设空处总结本段。前文提到人类的幽默,本句可能会联想到猿类和其他动物是否也有类似的行为。故F项“我们不知道猿或其他动物是否也有同样的情况,但这是可能的”符合语境。故选F。
