Section Ⅳ　Writing about a comedian Ⅰ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。六个星期的脱口秀课程让作者收获满满。 1.A　根据下文中的neatly typed notes or scripts可知，“我”经常觉得自己没有准备好在全班面前表演的所有材料。 2.C　根据下文中的I spoke from the heart可知，不准备材料，由心而发地进行表演是“我”的性格使然。 3.B　根据下文中的Each person has a different process可知，没有一种设定适合所有人。 4.A　结合脱口秀的特点和下文中的the creative struggle可知，普拉提教练说的话也适用于创作过程。 5.B　根据上文中的Each person has a different process可知，我们要学会尊重自己的创作过程。 6.A　根据下文中的You don’t know if people will read it可知，作家在把作品呈现给大众时可能会紧张，担心人们不读或不喜欢。 7.D　参见上题解析。 8.C　根据上文中的You don’t know if people will read it和Stand-up comedy is even worse以及下文中的it’s to your face可知，脱口秀演员面临的情况比作家更糟糕，如果人们不喜欢他们的表演，那会是当面拒绝。 9.B　根据下文中的In the past week， I’ve done two.可知，“我”通过参加开放麦锻炼自己，提升自己的适应力。 10.D　根据下文if one of my punch lines fell flat， I’d be OK可知，开放麦的练习会给“我”安慰，让“我”知道如果“我”的笑话不那么搞笑，那也没关系。 11.C　参见上题解析。 12.B　练习开放麦是为登上大舞台做准备。 13.D　根据a packed house和making people laugh可知，“我”为满满一屋子人表演脱口秀。 14.C　根据下文I was in my own zone of satisfaction可知，“我”在毕业典礼上的表演很令人惊喜。 15.A　结合脱口秀表演和my true self and making people laugh可知，“我”和大家分享真实的自己，逗观众发笑。 Ⅱ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“单口喜剧”这种类型的喜剧以及最著名的单口喜剧演员之一——Billy Crystal。 16.done　17.various　18.which　19.to laugh　20.the　 21.that　22.with　23.groups　24.have discovered 25.and　 Ⅲ. 　　Then the fourth student comes， then the fifth， and just as before， they each bring an apple. There’s no longer any doubt in my mind — this shower of apples has been carefully planned. It is a well-thought-out student strategy. As the amount of fruit continues to grow， my heart overflows with gratitude and love for these kids.My eyes well with tears as the final student places an apple on my desk and says，“Have a great summer， dear teacher. I’m going to miss you.” Though the work of teachers is naturally fruitful， we don’t always receive such a touchable expression of thanks from our students. 　　I’m officially crying now as the last student walks out of the room. It’s just me and the apples on my desk. I realize how deeply grateful. I am to have this group of students in my life and what a valuable gift it’s been to be their teacher. I pick up the nearest apple， smiling at the shining stream of school year memories. It’s going to be a long time before I can eat an apple without thinking of that final day of finals with such an amazing class. This desk drawer moment reminds me that teaching has been more than worth it. 3 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Section Ⅳ　Writing about a comedian Ⅰ.完形填空 　　Six weeks ago， I enrolled in （注册） a stand-up comedy class.

Ⅲ.读后续写 　　阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 　　Teaching is undoubtedly a demanding career. There are days when my passion for this amazing profession starts to fade （逐渐消失）. One of my college professors once told us to keep a desk drawer （抽屉） full of positive memories — reminders of why we chose teaching. This story is one of those “desk drawer” moments. 　　It’s the last day of finals week. There’s just one more exam standing between my students and summer break. I sit at the teacher’s desk， monitoring their progress. When the exam is over， the school year is over. They will walk out of my classroom for the last time. They may not realize it， but I’m thinking about their futures. I wonder where they will be next year， in four years， as adults？ Will they remember what we learned this year？ 　　It’s been just over an hour， and the first student approaches my desk， holding out her exam paper. When I look up， she smiles and places a shiny red apple on my desk. “Thanks for being my teacher，” she speaks softly so as not to disturb the others. 　　My face cracks into a smile. Her gift is such a sweet action. I love apples and am inspired by the significance of the gift. It seems to add a sense of closure， to make the goodbye a little easier as she packs her book bag and takes that first step outside the classroom door. 　　Less than five minutes later the second student approaches my desk. As I check through his exam for completion， he brings his hand from behind his back and holds out an apple. “Thanks for a great year.” Smiling， I take the apple and place it beside the first.How lovely that two students have the same idea. 　　The third student soon comes forward — test paper in one hand and an apple in the other.“Thank you， Ms Lewis.”He puts the apple beside the other two. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 　　Then the fourth student comes， then the fifth， and just as before， they each bring an apple.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　I’m officially crying now as the last student walks out of the room.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 3 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
