(2025河南南阳六校期中联考)
Of all the options for a night out in Boston, a lawyer's office probably doesn't rank high on many lists. Yet, that's where two recent college graduates found themselves last fall. They had such great fun that they've decided to repeat the experience. Tonight, they've arrived at a barbershop. This location is a secret—just as the law office was. A man at the door checks that they're on the guest list. Then, he welcomes them to Don't Tell Comedy.
Every weekend, in over 200 cities around the world, Don't Tell Comedy hosts secret shows by stand-up comedians. Venues range from boxing gyms to boats. For one night only, the barbershop has been transformed into a pop-up comedy club.
Founded in 2017, Don't Tell Comedy has had a success that reflects the remarkable boom of live comedy. In large part, the demand for stand-up has been fueled by filmed specials on streaming platforms and funny clips on TikTok. Events such as Don't Tell Comedy are urging people to get off their sofas, because online entertainment is no replacement for participating in in-person events.
“It feels a little bit like magic,” says Brendan Eyre, the headliner among the five performers at the barbershop. “You're sharing an amusing experience with strangers. You're laughing at the same thing, which brings people together.”
In an era when many people can't watch television without constantly checking their phones, the audiences for both sets at the barbershop are fully unplugged for more than 70 minutes. Attendees may even become part of the show. For instance, one comedian cracked a joke about Gilbert Paredes' and Kelly Emmons' first experiences.
“If you sit at the front, they might give you attention,” says Ms. Emmons. “But that's part of the fun. If you wanted something that is one-way, you would stay at home and watch your TV.” For her, part of the appeal of the inexpensive Don't Tell Comedy event is discovering talents she hasn't heard of before. The lineups are a secret prior to each show.
1.What can be learned about the Don't Tell Comedy event?
A.It is conducted by a lawyer.
B.It usually takes place on weekdays.
C.It appeals to the young especially.
D.It is secretly held in unusual places.
2. What might contribute to the increasing demand for stand-up?
A.People's lack of online entertainment.
B.The easy access to in-person events.
C.The influence of online platforms.
D.People's urge to be unplugged and connect.
3.What does Brendan Eyre think of the experience at the barbershop?
A.It relies on common interests.
B.It forms a sense of community.
C.It inspires audiences to share their stories.
D.It needs to be more humorous.
4.Which word best describes the stand-up at the barbershop?
A.Interactive. B.Creative. C.Educational. D.Complicated.

Having a sense of humor means having the ability to let go and avoid taking everything so seriously, and being able to laugh at life's absurdities(荒谬). This skill can help you interact easily with others, improve your health, and even help deal with difficult situations. 1 You just have to learn to see the lighter side of things. If you find it difficult, here are some ideas.
Learn some jokes you find funny. If you want to bring some humor to social functions, learn a few basic jokes. You can look for humorous pictures and funny Internet memes(爆红的网络话题) to share with others. 2
Practice using humor in your life. Start by using humor with trusted family and friends. Tell them your goal and ask them to be honest with you. 3 As you become more comfortable, expand your comfort zone by putting humor into conversations with people not so close to you.
4 Think about your funny friends who naturally make others crack a smile. What kinds of jokes do they make? Spend more time with them and let their sense of humor influence you. Don't be afraid to throw in a few funny comments.
Be careful not to offend(冒犯) people. As you develop your sense of humor, make sure you avoid jokes that are impolite, cruel, or might turn someone into a laughing stock. 5 Therefore, when you're expressing humor to someone, start soft and see how the person responds to it.
A.Surround yourself with funny people.
B.Everyone has their own sense of humor.
C.True humor is genuine and reflects your personality.
D.You don't have to be funny to have a sense of humor.
E.Continue telling jokes until they feel more natural to you.
F.Listen to them if they tell you your jokes need improvement.
G.Besides, you can also seek things going with your unique brand of humour.

Tom's academic journey hit a rough patch when he unexpectedly 1 . Every time he saw his test scores, his heart 2 with frustration. Being the top student admired by classmates seemed 3 his wildest dreams.
One day, noticing Tom's low spirits, instead of 4 him, his literature teacher, Ms. White, announced a class 5 , “Humor not only lifts your mood, but 6 your mind. Share how you laugh your way through tough stuff.” Immediately, one student stood up and shared his notes he'd stick on his textbooks. Next to a confusing physical law, he wrote, “Let's make a deal—I'll read you twice, you'll make 7 once!” When he messed up on a math problem for the fifth time, he'd tap the paper saying, “You're really testing my patience.”
The class 8 into laughter and Ms. White grinned, “That's how you outsmart stress!” From that day on, Tom turned every study roadblock into a joke. When he stayed up late memorizing vocabulary, he'd joke, “These words are playing hide-and-seek—I'll win by bribing(贿赂) them with 9 !” When he forgot a chemistry formula, he'd whisper, “Come on, buddy. You were right there with me last night—don't 10 me now!” In this way, his spirits always 11 fast. Months later, Tom made 12 progress—jumping from the bottom half of the class to the top 10. Humor had a 13 influence.
Tom finally concluded: humor can't 14 you have success but can give you the courage to 15 when things feel tough—it's about turning “I can't” into “This is ridiculous, but let's try again”.

Ⅰ.1.long face 2.practical jokes 3.laughing stock 4.cracked a smile
Ⅱ.题型(一)
1.who 句意:不止一次,我发现自己想弄明白:创作出这些人物的学生,究竟是如何对他们的描述对象了解得如此透彻的。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词my students,本空在从句中作主语,指人,故应用关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句。
2.which 句意:那就是为什么大多数宠物猫能够立刻辨别它们的主人是否在任何其他猫身边(待过),这通常是它们不喜欢的。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的“their owners were around any other cats”,本空在从句中作宾语,故应用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。
3.whose 句意:玛丽每隔几天就会从华盛顿特区开车去温彻斯特看望祖母,祖母的健康状况去年秋天开始恶化。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词her grandmother,本空在从句中作定语,修饰名词health,故应用关系代词whose引导非限制性定语从句。注意:whose在定语从句中作定语,表示所属关系,定语从句所修饰的先行词既可以是人,也可以是物。
4.when 句意:我们的人生故事在青少年时期开始逐渐清晰,这时我们开始围绕重要事件或人生变故,将生活梳理成一个个篇章。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词our teenage years(指时间),本空在从句中作时间状语,故应用关系副词when引导非限制性定语从句。
5.as 句意:据报道,农村地区往往缺乏足够的医疗设施和训练有素的专业人员。本空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为整个主句的内容,此处表示“正如”,故应用关系代词as引导非限制性定语从句。
知识拓展
as引导非限制性定语从句时,常用于下列固定结构中:as is expected(不出所料),as is mentioned above(正如上面所提到的),as we all know/as is known to all(众所周知),as is reported(据报道),as is often the case(这是常有的事),as has been said before(正如之前所述)等。
6.whom 句意:不久,这个年轻人就被观众围住了,其中一些人是被纸上的文字吸引过来的。“some of ”引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词audiences,本空在从句中作of的宾语,指人,故应用关系代词whom。
易错归因
本题易错填which。注意:“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句修饰的先行词指物时,应用关系代词which;修饰的先行词指人时,应用关系代词whom。
7.which 句意:他们到达了车道,在车道的尽头,奶奶正高兴地等着他们。“at the end of ”引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词driveway,本空在从句中作介词of的宾语,指物,故应用关系代词which。
8.where 句意:可如今,我和父母住在中国福建的一个海滨村落里,那里的渔船在浪涛上轻轻摇曳,新鲜的海鲜摆满了当地集市,黎明时分总能听到海鸥的啼鸣萦绕不散。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a coastal village,本空在从句中作地点状语,故应用关系副词where引导非限制性定语从句。
易错归因
本题易错填whose,误将my parents当成先行词,忽视whose无法修饰后面的the sound of seagulls。

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Don't Tell Comedy这个俱乐部,他们在不同寻常的地点秘密举办单口喜剧表演,深受人们的欢迎。
【高频词汇】 1.range from...to... 范围从……到……
2.be transformed into 被改造成 3.boom n.突然风靡的时期 4.replacement n.替代品,替代者 5.attendee n.参与者,出席者 6.appeal n.吸引力 7.prior to 在……之前
【熟词生义】 1.live熟义:v.生活,居住 生义:adj.现场直播的 2.fuel熟义:n.燃料 生义:v.加强,刺激 3.special熟义: adj.特别的,特殊的 生义:n.特别活动(或节目等)
【差距词汇】 1.stand-up comedian单口喜剧演员
2.venue n.活动场地 3.streaming platform流媒体平台
4.lineup n.阵容
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This location is a secret—just as the law office was.”以及第二段中“Venues range from boxing gyms to boats.”可知,Don't Tell Comedy活动的举办地点具有“秘密性”和“不寻常性”,律师事务所、理发店、拳击馆、船只等均是其举办场地。故选D。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“the demand for stand-up has been fueled by filmed specials on streaming platforms and funny clips on TikTok”可知,流媒体平台上的录制特辑和TikTok上的搞笑片段推动了单口喜剧的需求。原文中“streaming platforms”和“TikTok”对应C项中的“online platforms”,即核心原因是在线平台的影响。故选C。
3.B 推理判断题。根据题干中的Brendan Eyre可定位到第四段。原文中“brings people together”对应B 项中“forms a sense of community”,即Brendan Eyre认为在理发店的经历能将人们联结起来,形成社群感。故选B。
4.A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Attendees may even become part of the show.”,且举的例子“one comedian cracked a joke about Gilbert Paredes' and Kelly Emmons' first experiences”,以及最后一段中Ms. Emmons 提到的“If you sit at the front, they might give you attention”可知,该活动具有双向互动性。由此可推知,“互动性”是理发店中单口喜剧的核心特征。故选A。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了培养幽默感的方法,如学习一些有趣的笑话、在生活中练习使用幽默、与幽默的人相处以及注意不要冒犯他人等。
【高频词汇】 1.let go 放下,释怀 2.take...seriously认真对待…… 3.interact with与……互动 4.expand v.扩大,拓展
【差距词汇】 throw in随口说
1.D 前文提到有幽默感是一种技能,能带来诸多益处。空后句“You just have to learn to see the lighter side of things.”指出你只需要学会看到事物轻松的一面即可。D项“你不必非得有趣才能拥有幽默感”承上启下,既解释了幽默感并非天赋,也自然地引出后文“只需要学习”的观点,符合语境。
2.G 前文“...learn a few basic jokes. You can look for humorous pictures and funny Internet memes to share with others.”说明可以通过学习一些基本笑话、找幽默图片和有趣的网红梗来增添幽默,G项“此外,你也可以寻找符合你自己独特幽默风格的事物”进一步补充了培养幽默感的方式,与前文内容相呼应。G项中“Besides, you can also”和前文中“You can”形成递进关系。
3.F 本段建议在生活中练习幽默。空前句提到告诉亲友你的目标并请他们坦诚相告。F项“如果他们告诉你你的笑话需要改进,要倾听他们的意见”具体说明了应该如何对待亲友的反馈,与前一句构成紧密的逻辑关系。
4.A 设空处位于段首,应是本段的主旨句。后文内容“Think about your funny friends who naturally make others crack a smile...Spend more time with them and let their sense of humor influence you.”都是在讲如何向有趣的人学习。A项“让自己被有趣的人包围”恰好概括了本段主旨。
5.B 前文“Be careful not to offend people.”提醒避免冒犯他人,后文“start soft and see how the person responds to it”建议向某人表达幽默时先温和,然后试探对方反应。B 项“每个人都有自己的幽默感”解释了为何需要试探——因个体差异,幽默的接受度不同,B项为后文“see how the person responds to it”提供合理依据。
易错归因
本空易误选C项。注意C项强调真正的幽默是真诚且反映自身个性的,与前文“避免冒犯他人”及后文“试探对方反应”的核心逻辑无关。后文建议试探反应的关键原因是个体对幽默的接受度不同,而非幽默是否反映自身个性,C项无法为后文的建议提供合理依据,因此不符合语境。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了汤姆在学业上遭遇挫折后情绪低落,文学老师怀特女士通过布置“分享幽默应对困境”的课堂任务,引导汤姆用幽默化解学习压力,最终他重拾状态、成绩大幅进步的故事,展现了幽默在人们面对困境时的积极力量。
【高频词汇】 1.frustration n.沮丧,挫败 2.lift one's mood 改善心情;振奋精神 3.make a deal 达成协议 4.mess up 搞砸,出错 5.tap v.轻敲,轻拍 6.ridiculous adj.荒谬的,可笑的
【熟词生义】 desert 熟义:n.沙漠,荒漠 生义:v.抛弃,离弃
【差距词汇】 1.patch n.一段(艰难)岁月 2.outsmart v.智取;比……更精明 3.roadblock n.障碍
1.A 由上文“hit a rough patch”及下文“jumping from the bottom half of the class to the top 10”可知,汤姆后来从班级成绩排名后半段跻身前十,说明他之前意外落后了(fell behind)。turn around 转身;好转;give up放弃;turn down 拒绝;调低。
2.C 由“with frustration”可知,看到考试成绩时,他的心情因沮丧而低落(sinking)。gallop 疾驰;raise举起;burn 燃烧。
3.B 结合前文他成绩落后、情绪低落的状态可知,被同学羡慕的优等生身份似乎超出了(beyond)他最疯狂的梦想。against反对;within在……之内;through穿过。
4.D 由“instead of”及后文老师布置了关于幽默的课堂任务可知,老师没有批评(criticizing)他,而是用另一种方式引导。flatter 奉承;appreciate欣赏, 感激;inform通知。
5.A 由后文“Share how you laugh your way through tough stuff.”可知,老师宣布了一项课堂任务(assignment)。enthusiasm热情;companionship陪伴,友情;association协会, 关联。
6.D 由“not only lifts your mood, but”可知,此处需体现幽默的积极作用,sharpen one's mind表示“让思维更敏锐”,符合逻辑。destroy破坏,毁坏;crack 破裂;defeat 击败。
7.B 结合前文“a confusing physical law”可知,学生写的内容是“我读你两遍,你让我弄明白一次”,make sense表示“易于理解;表述清楚”,符合语境。progress 进步;use 用途;comment 评论。
8.A 由学生分享的幽默内容可知,班级突然爆发出笑声。burst into laughter为固定短语,意为“突然大笑起来”。crash碰撞;boost促进;bump撞。
9.C 由前文“stayed up late memorizing vocabulary”可知,汤姆熬夜背单词时,用咖啡(coffee)“贿赂”单词,符合熬夜的场景。
10.C 由“Come on, buddy. You were right there with me last night”可知,汤姆调侃公式昨晚还在,现在别抛弃(desert)他,贴合幽默语境。track 追踪;entertain 娱乐;seize 抓住。
11.B 由前文汤姆用幽默应对困境可知,他的情绪总能快速恢复(recover)。reduce减少;remain保持;require要求。
12.A 由“jumping from the bottom half of the class to the top 10”可知,他取得了显著的(remarkable)进步。emotive有感染力的;rare罕见的;intense强烈的。
13.C 结合汤姆的成绩大幅进步的结果可知,幽默产生了强大的(powerful)影响。gentle温和的;amusing有趣的;witty机智的。
14.B 由空后的“but”可知,幽默不能确保(ensure)成功,但能给人勇气。prevent 阻止;replace 替代;aim 旨在。
15.D 由“turning ‘I can't’ into ‘This is ridiculous, but let's try again’”可知,幽默给人在困境中坚持下去(carry on)的勇气。back down放弃;walk away脱身;call off取消。
