Families are taking down their decorations and throwing out their tees when Christmas has come to end. However, one man in Texas is reusing the trees for a good cause. Canes (拐杖) for Veterans (退伍军人) Central Texas, which was set up by Jamie Willis, makes free canes out of waste wood for veterans in need. Willis started the organization when he found himself in need of a strong cane, he told CBS News.
Jamie Willis had served in the army for eight years, but was left disabled. He would use a cane to get around, but didn’t like the one he received from Veterans Affairs. He decided to ask for a suitable replacement (替代品) from the organization Free Canes for Veterans. Oscar Morris, who ran the organization, apologized to Willis because they were all handed out.
He then considered making one for himself. Luckily, with the help of Morris, Willis made his first cane. Morris encouraged him to make another cane for someone else in need, which gave Willis an idea. He started the Canes for Veterans Central Texas.
During its first year, Willis simply collected thrown-away trees and wood. Now, after getting some attention, Willis has received many donated Christmas trees from neighbors and natives. Since 2016, Willis and his team have made 222 canes for veterans in need. He’s even started to make the canes with slogans (标语) and designs chosen by the veterans, making each one meaningful to those veterans.
“It’s a great feeling,” he told CBS News. “It takes their eyes off their so called disability and it takes their eyes to the cane. Because when people look at a person with just a metal cane, everyone just wonders what happens,” Willis added. “But now, when they’re walking around with canes that we make, they’re looking at the cane, a piece of artwork.”
4 What inspired Willis to start Canes for Veterans Central Texas?
A. His interest in woodworking. B. His own need for a suitable cane.
C. His experience in the army. D. His desire to help disabled people.
5. What contributed to Willis’ success of making 222 canes?
A. The support from the local people. B. The attention of Willis’ neighbours.
C. The cooperation with the veterans. D. The collection of thrown-away wood.
6. Why are the canes meaningful for veterans?
A. Because they are charged free.
B. Because they are designed by themselves.
C. Because they are donated from neighbors.
D. Because they are made from recycled materials.
7. What can we learn about the canes from the last paragraph?
A. They serve as a source of pride for veterans.
B. They provide a solution for movement problems.
C. They are a symbol of community support and care.
D. They help change focus from disabilities to the canes.
C
“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 a result of a small decrease (减少) 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 and may make a difference to the way people deal 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 deal 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.”
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Humor could positively impact people’s health.
B. Joyful women can live longer than happy men.
C. Women who hardly laugh may fall ill easily.
D. Humor makes people pay more attention to their health.
9. The reason for men having a higher risk of death from infection than women is that ________.
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.
10. How does the author show the research findings?
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By stating arguments (论点). D. By making experiments.
11. Which of the following would Sven Svebak agree with?
A. Humorless 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.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了退伍军人Jamie Willis利用废弃的圣诞树制作拐杖,帮助其他有需要的退伍军人的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Willis started the organization when he found himself in need of a strong cane, he told CBS News.(威利斯在接受CBS新闻采访时说,当他发现自己需要一根结实的拐杖时,就创建了这个组织)”和第二段“Jamie Willis had served in the army for eight years, but was left disabled. He would use a cane to get around, but didn’t like the one he received from Veterans Affairs. He decided to ask for a suitable replacement (替代品) from the organization Free Canes for Veterans. Oscar Morris, who ran the organization, apologized to Willis because they were all handed out.(杰米·威利斯曾在军队服役八年,但后来留下了残疾。他需要用拐杖来辅助行走,但他不喜欢从退伍军人事务部那里得到的那根拐杖。他决定向“退伍军人免费拐杖”组织申请一个合适的替代品。该组织的负责人奥斯卡·莫里斯因为所有拐杖都已经分发完毕而向威利斯道歉)”可知,Willis自己需要一根合适的拐杖,但对从退伍军人事务部得到的拐杖不满意,这促使他开始制作自己的拐杖,并最终成立了Canes for Veterans Central Texas这个组织。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Now, after getting some attention, Willis has received many donated Christmas trees from neighbors and natives. Since 2016, Willis and his team have made 222 canes for veterans in need.(现在,获得了一些关注之后,威利斯收到了许多来自邻居和当地居民捐赠的圣诞树。自2016年以来,威利斯和他的团队已经为有需要的退伍军人制作了222根拐杖)” 可知,当地人的支持促使Willis成功制作了222根手杖。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“He’s even started to make the canes with slogans (标语) and designs chosen by the veterans, making each one meaningful to those veterans.(他甚至开始根据退伍军人选择的标语和设计来制作手杖,使每一根手杖对退伍军人都有意义)” 可知,这些拐杖上有退伍军人自己选择的标语和设计,这让每根拐杖对退伍军人来说都有特殊的意义。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““It takes their eyes off their so called disability and it takes their eyes to the cane. Because when people look at a person with just a metal cane, everyone just wonders what happens,” Willis added. “But now, when they’re walking around with canes that we make, they’re looking at the cane, a piece of artwork.”(“这让人们的目光从他们所谓的残疾上移开,转而关注拐杖本身。因为当人们看到一个人只拿着金属拐杖时,大家只会猜测发生了什么,”威利斯补充道,“但现在,当他们拿着我们制作的拐杖行走时,人们都在欣赏拐杖,一件艺术品。”)”可知,这些拐杖让人们的注意力从残疾转移到拐杖本身,这些拐杖像艺术品一样吸引人们的目光。故选D。
C
“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 a result of a small decrease (减少) 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 and may make a difference to the way people deal 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 deal 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.”
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Humor could positively impact people’s health.
B. Joyful women can live longer than happy men.
C. Women who hardly laugh may fall ill easily.
D. Humor makes people pay more attention to their health.
9. The reason for men having a higher risk of death from infection than women is that ________.
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.
10. How does the author show the research findings?
A. By listing data. B. By giving examples.
C. By stating arguments (论点). D. By making experiments.
11. Which of the following would Sven Svebak agree with?
A. Humorless 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】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。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。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer although they were ill, especially for those with heart problems and infection. Happy men seemed to be protected against infection.(研究发现,具有强烈幽默感的女性即使生病也能活得更久,尤其是患有心脏病和感染的女性。快乐的男性似乎对感染有保护作用。)”可知,幽默可能使得人免受疾病感染,即使生病也能活得更长,即幽默有益于人们的健康。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“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 a result of a small decrease (减少) in humor scores as the men aged. (研究结果显示,对于女性而言,那些在幽默思维方式测试中得分较高的人,全因死亡风险降低了48%,心脏病死亡风险降低了73%,感染死亡风险降低了83%。对于男性,只发现了感染死亡风险的关联 —— 幽默得分较高的男性感染死亡风险降低了74%。研究人员建议,性别差异可能是由于男性随着年龄增长幽默得分略有下降所致。)”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,即男性越老越不幽默。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“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 a result of a small decrease (减少) in humor scores as the men aged. (研究结果显示,对于女性而言,那些在幽默思维方式测试中得分较高的人,全因死亡风险降低了48%,心脏病死亡风险降低了73%,感染死亡风险降低了83%。对于男性,只发现了感染死亡风险的关联 —— 幽默得分较高的男性感染死亡风险降低了74%。研究人员建议,性别差异可能是由于男性随着年龄增长幽默得分略有下降所致。)”可知,作者是通过列举数据来展示研究结果的。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““I expect that children whose parents have no sense of humor when feeling challenges are less likely to develop their sense of humor to deal 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.” (“我预计,那些在面对挑战时没有幽默感的父母的孩子,在长大后不太可能发展出用幽默感应对日常生活的能力,”Sven Svebak说。“但如果你的童年缺乏幽默,也不要害怕 —— 研究表明,人们可以在任何年龄学会变得幽默”。)”可知,没有幽默感的孩子不太可能培养幽默感应对日常生活,所以幽默的人能更好地应对生活中的压力。故选C。

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:父母在洪水中丧生的那个男孩现在和他叔叔住在一起。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,先行词boy和parents是所属关系,因此用表所属的关系代词whose,在从句中作定语,引导定语从句,故选D。
