参考范文
Chaplin was an extraordinary comedian who starred in and directed many outstanding comedies.His moustache,his gestures and his entertaining reactions when chased by detectives are so amusing that few feel bored when watching.One scene that amuses me most is that one day he was walking on the street when he slid on a banana skin.
His particular sense of humour has astonished everybody throughout the world up to now.
In another small budget film,he played a badly-off and homeless person wearing worn-out shoes and messy clothes who boiled his shoes,cut off the leather bottom and chewed it as if it were a pancake.His acting was so convincing and amusing that everybody couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

B(★)
Patients and doctors alike have long believed in the healing(治疗) power of humor.It is claimed that humor not only affects patients’ moods,but can actually help them recover faster.
Several studies seem to support this.Patients in better spirits are known to have a larger number of immune cells.Some have even claimed to have healed themselves of serious illnesses by reading comics and watching comedies.
Despite all this,many researchers are not convinced.They point out the fact that many sufferings have been known to disappear naturally,with or without a daily dose of laughter.They also say that while optimism in general does seem to be related to better health,it is hard to tell which comes first.
Humor in times of stress,however,clearly makes us feel better.On one level,it takes our minds off our troubles and relaxes us.On another,it releases powerful endorphins,a chemical produced by your body that reduces pain.
There are cases where the appreciation of a good joke is indeed directly related to a person’s health.It can show,for example,whether a person has suffered damage to one particular area of the brain: the right frontal lobe(额叶).
Scientists confirmed this by having people read jokes and asking them to choose the funniest endings from a list.Subjects with normal brains usually chose endings that were based on a relatively complex synthesis(综合) of ideas.Subjects with specifically located brain damage,however,responded only to slapstick(闹剧) endings,which did not depend on a particular context.When pressed,the brain-damaged subjects saw the logic in the correct endings.They simply did not find them funny.
Of course,humor is largely an individual matter.Next time your friend does not get one of your jokes,there is no need to accuse him of being a lamebrain.However,you might suggest that he lighten up—for the health of it.
语篇解读 这是一篇科普类说明文。作者通过介绍相关科学研究和事例指出幽默对人有积极作用。
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A.All researchers have agreed on the healing power of humor.
B.People seldom accuse their friends of not understanding jokes.
C.The author holds a positive attitude to the healing power of humor.
D.Reading comics will surely become a popular way of treating diseases.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段内容及最后一段的最后一句“However,you might suggest that he lighten up—for the health of it.”可知,作者对幽默的治疗作用持积极的态度,故选C。
5.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Many researchers are not convinced of the healing power of humor.
B.Patients in bad moods are known to have higher immune cell counts.
C.Optimism in general does seem to be related to better health.
D.People should try their best to cheer up for their good health.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Patients in better spirits are known to have a larger number of immune cells.”可知,病人情绪好,免疫细胞数量高,所以B选项的内容与文章内容不符。故选B。
6.Why did scientists have some people read jokes and ask them to choose the funniest endings from a list?
A.To confirm that the brain-damaged people are different from those with normal brains.
B.To confirm that a person with a normal brain usually responds to slapstick endings.
C.To confirm that a person suffering certain brain damage doesn’t appreciate a good joke.
D.To confirm that humor takes our minds off our troubles by releasing powerful endorphins.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段内容及第六段的第一句“Scientists confirmed this by having people read jokes and asking them to choose the funniest endings from a list.”可知,第六段第一句中的this指代第五段内容。结合第六段最后两句“When pressed,the brain-damaged subjects saw...They simply did not find them funny.”可知,大脑右额叶受过损伤的人不太会欣赏笑话。故选C。
7.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.Which Comes First,Humor or Health?
B.Humor Can Cure Different Illnesses
C.People Need Humor in Times of Stress
D.Humor Contributes to Good Health
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。根据第一段“Patients and doctors alike have long believed in the healing(治疗) power of humor.It is claimed that humor not only affects patients’ moods,but can actually help them recover faster.”并综合全文的内容可以看出,文章主要讲述的是幽默在生活中尤其是病人康复方面所起的某些积极的作用。故选D。
C
Food deserts are generally classified as geographic regions where people have few or limited options to purchase nutritious and affordable foods like vegetables and fruits.Food deserts affect low-income areas far from supermarkets.Over 23 million Americans live in low-income areas located more than one mile from a food store.Over 11 million people living in these regions are themselves low-income.While people in food deserts may have easier access to convenience stores and fast food,they experience more challenges in shopping at large grocery stores that offer a more comprehensive(全面的) selection of healthy foods at lower prices.
This inequality in food access means that families,children,and communities living in food deserts may be at increased risk of obesity and other diet-related health issues,including diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
While the existing literature on the lack of accessible,affordable foods has not reached a consensus on the root causes of food deserts,several factors are regularly recognized.Urban areas lacking access to fresh foods are generally divided by racial and economic lines.Diets rich in more nutritious foods cost around $1.50 more per day.For individuals and families living paycheck to paycheck,this cost difference can significantly impact their food choices.For people living in the countryside,they must travel many miles to the nearest store;a lack of access to a vehicle and limited or nonexistent public transportation contribute to food accessibility challenges.
Lack of business investment also plays a big part.When large food stores consider possible locations,low-income areas can appear to be “too risky” of an investment.More economically depressed(萧条的) areas can increase a business’s insurance and security costs.Even public utility(设施) challenges,like poorly maintained roads,can prevent big companies from setting up shops in neighborhoods that most need their goods and services,according to Harvard Business Review.These market conditions have a great effect on food accessibility for high-poverty regions.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章阐释了“食物荒漠”这一概念,并介绍了食物荒漠所造成的影响以及形成的原因。
8.What do we know about a food desert?
A.Agriculture is impossible there.
B.People there are too poor to feed the family.
C.Many fast food restaurants are located there.
D.People there have limited access to healthy foods.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据文章开头第一句“Food deserts are generally classified as geographic regions where people have few or limited options to purchase nutritious and...foods...”可知,处在食物荒漠地区的人们获取健康食物的途径有限,故选D项。
9.What is a key reason for food deserts?
A.Poor health care.
B.A low income.
C.Business failure.
D.Dangerous environment.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Food deserts affect low-income areas far from supermarkets.Over 23 million Americans live in low-income areas...Over 11 million people living in these regions are themselves low-income.”可推断出,“食物荒漠”出现的主要原因是低收入,故选B项。
10.What does the underlined word “consensus” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.A balanced diet.
B.A general agreement.
C.A contributing factor.
D.An inspiring achievement.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。画线词所在的从句与主句之间是转折关系,且根据主句“several factors are regularly recognized”可推知,画线词所在的从句表示“尽管现有文献对造成食物荒漠这个问题的根本原因尚未达成共识”,a general agreement与画线词意思最相近。故选B项。
11.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A.The causes of food deserts.
B.Ways to make food choices.
C.The problems with transportation.
D.Principles of business investment.
答案 A
解析 段落大意题。根据倒数第二段首句“While the existing literature on the lack of accessible,affordable foods has not reached a consensus on the root causes of food deserts,several factors are regularly recognized.”以及倒数第一段首句“Lack of business investment also plays a big part.”可知,最后两段主要讲的是“食物荒漠”的形成原因,故选A项。

解析 空处位于段首,为本段中心句。根据下文“They will surely be an exciting part of the educational experience with the main purpose to expose children to knowledge of various fields and expand their horizons.”可知,博物馆可以让孩子们受到教育,B项“博物馆经常举办以儿童为中心的展览”能够概括本段内容。故选B项。
4.答案 C
解析 根据上文“Museums support tourism...Museums aren’t a burden on tax revenue(税收)...projects.”可知,本段涉及博物馆对城市旅游业的推动;C项“Instead,they generate funding and fuel employment.”与上文为转折关系,并呼应下文“Statistics show that museums support more than 726,000 jobs in America.”。故选C项。

On Mondays,two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way.Each packs plenty of food and water,a pair of rubber boots and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate.Then,I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certified forest school.
When I first signed them up for forest school program,I loved the idea,but as a mum,I was concerned about a few things:Would they be comfortable outside for that long?Would they stay engaged for that many hours?Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly,they stared at me in confusion.They didn’t understand my question,which fittingly removed it.
In this program,kids direct their own play,climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake.They are never told their play is too high or too sharp,but are rather trusted to self-adjust.Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity,but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows.
“What about all the things they’re missing in real school?” concerned parents have asked me.Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem,but most significantly,my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach.They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close—a skill that’s virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting.They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups.They cooperate together,using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games.
I appreciate it that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the outdoors.They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature,what to do to pass the time,and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades.
语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要介绍了作者送孩子们在一所认证的森林学校度过一整天,在那里孩子们接近大自然,能学到很多在校内学不到的技能。

5.How did the author feel about kids’ reaction to her question?
A.Awkward. B.Concerned.
C.Relieved. D.Proud.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly,they stared at me in confusion.They didn’t understand my question,which fittingly removed it.”可知,孩子们对作者的问题感到很迷惑,这也消除了作者的担忧,由此可知,见到孩子们的这种反应,作者感到宽慰。故选C。

4.答案 which
解析 考查定语从句。指代前面的一句话,用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
5.答案 shared
解析 考查形容词。名词laughter与share之间为被动关系,所以前用-ed形式形容词修饰。故填shared。
