Humour can help us reduce stress and build better relationships with classmates. Here are my suggestions. First, we can look for funny moments in our daily school life and share light‑hearted stories with our friends. Second, it’s a good idea to learn to laugh at our own small mistakes instead of feeling upset. Remember that good humour should never hurt others. I hope my advice will be helpful and your column will be a great success.

In the middle of Saturday workshop. D. After each performance on Friday. B When I first met Mr. Li, my high‑school teacher of literature, I never expected he would teach me the true meaning of humour. Unlike other teachers who kept serious in class, Mr. Li often told short funny stories while explaining texts. At first, some students thought he was wasting class time. One cold Monday morning, our whole class was in a bad mood. We had just received low scores in a difficult test. Nobody wanted to speak, and the classroom was completely silent. Seeing our upset faces, Mr. Li did not start his lesson right away. Instead, he shared a funny story about his own failure when he was a student. He described how nervous he had been during an important exam and how silly his mistakes sounded now. Soon, soft laughter spread across the room. After we calmed down, he told us, “Humour is not only for fun. Sometimes it works as a bridge that helps us face our pain. Laughing at our own mistakes does not mean we give up. It means we have the courage to move forward.” His words touched me deeply. Before that, I had always hidden my mistakes and felt ashamed whenever I failed. Later, I began to try this way of thinking. When I made mistakes in my studies, I would try to find something light-hearted in the situation. Gradually, I became less afraid of failure. I finally understood what Mr. Li wanted us to learn: real humour comes from an open heart, and it gives us power to deal with hard moments in life. 24. What did some students think of Mr. Li’s funny stories at first? A. They were helpful. B. They were a waste of time. C. They were too silly. D. They were hard to understand. 25. Why was the whole class upset on that Monday morning? A. They failed to finish their homework. B. They would take a difficult exam. C. They got poor marks in a recent test. D. They had to listen to a long lesson. 26. What message did Mr. Li want to pass on to his students? A. People should laugh at others’ mistakes. B. Humour helps us face our failures bravely. C. Good scores come from a happy mood. D. Funny stories can improve exam skills. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Power of Humour B. A Funny Story in Class C. My Unforgettable School Tests D. Lessons From My Literature Studies C Why do people laugh? Most of us believe we laugh only at funny jokes. However, scientists have found that laughter is far more complex. Humour does not just bring pleasure; it also carries important social functions. One major role of laughter is to build connection among people. When you laugh together with friends, you send a warm signal that you share the same feelings. Research shows that shared laughter can quickly reduce distance between two people, even between strangers. That explains why comedians are so welcome: they create moments of shared joy for large groups of audience members. Besides social influence, laughter is also good for our physical health. A good laugh can relax our muscles and reduce stress. Some experts point out that laughing slows down our heart‑beat for a short period and helps our body recover from tiredness. Yet scientists remind us that humour cannot take the place of medical treatment. Another interesting finding is that our sense of humour changes with age. Young people are more likely to enjoy fast, surprising jokes, while older adults prefer gentle, life‑related humour. No matter what kind of jokes we like, humour remains a useful tool to make our daily life brighter. 28. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Laughter helps people get closer to each other. B. Comedians usually tell stories for large groups. C. Strangers seldom share their feelings openly. D. Humour provides people with funny signals. 29. What do scientists remind us about laughter? A. It can cure certain serious diseases. B. It cannot work as a medical treatment. C. It has no influence on our heart‑beat. D. It is more helpful for tired young people. 30. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Old people seldom have a sense of humour. B. Young people prefer humour connected with life. C. People’s taste in humour changes as they grow older. D. Different age groups share the same interest in jokes. D Stand‑up comedy, a popular form of humour, has a long history and is developing quickly across the world. A stand‑up comedian usually performs alone on a stage, speaking directly to the audience. Unlike actors in a play, they do not depend on costumes or sets. Their main tool is words. There are different kinds of stand‑up humour. Some comedians make jokes about daily life. Others use their own personal experiences as material. A third type of comedian observes social problems and offers funny but thoughtful opinions. No matter which style they choose, good stand‑up is more than just making people laugh. Many top comedians believe their job carries a special responsibility. Laughter can make difficult social topics easier to accept. By using humour, comedians are able to draw public attention to certain problems without causing angry arguments. This is one reason why stand‑up shows have become an important part of modern culture. However, stand‑up artists must be careful with their words. Humour can easily hurt others’ feelings if jokes are not properly chosen. A successful comedian needs to keep a balance between being funny and being respectful. In other words, great humour does not come from making fun of people; it comes from sharing observations about life in a warm and wise way. 31. What is special about stand‑up comedians according to Paragraph 1? A. They perform together with other actors. B. They mainly depend on their speech. C. They need beautiful stage costumes. D. They seldom talk directly to listeners. 32. How many styles of stand‑up humour are mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 33. Why do some comedians consider their work responsible? A. They can influence public attention through humour. B. They are required to solve serious social problems. C. Their jokes always stop people from arguing. D. Their performances must be free of all risks. 34. What is the main message of the last paragraph? A. It is easy for comedians to make successful jokes. B. Humour should avoid hurting other people. C. Stand‑up comedy is the wisest form of art. D. Comedians should never express different opinions. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Humour is a wonderful skill that can improve our daily life. Yet many people believe they are not funny and cannot bring laughter to others. 35________ Actually, anyone can develop a sense of humour with small daily efforts. First, learn to find the funny side of ordinary life. Pay attention to those little, strange or unexpected moments around you. 36________ You do not need big, clever jokes to make people laugh. A simple observation about daily life is often enough. 37________ If you are too hard on yourself whenever you make a mistake, you will lose the chance to laugh at small failures. Laughing at yourself does not mean you are weak. It shows you are relaxed and confident enough to accept your weaknesses. Another useful tip is to listen more when you stay with other people. 38________ When you catch the funny points in their stories, you can share a laugh together. Shared laughter creates close connections between friends. Finally, remember that good humour should never hurt others. Before you make a joke, think about whether your words will upset someone. 39________ True humour lifts people up instead of putting them down. A. Don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself. B. It is not necessary to become a great comedian. C. They give up trying to be humorous right away. D. Try to notice the funny details in their conversations. E. Humour always helps people solve serious problems. F. If the answer is yes, you had better choose another topic. G. You can tell others these interesting little things later. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Sports are the base of my life. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills (操练) to develop my skills and reach the next level of play. When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake. Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort; he expected 200% effort. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After a tiring practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “Coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters. Unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how we did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual. 40．What did many coaches usually focus on? 41．What mistake did the author make when he was in Senior Two? 42．Please decide which part of the following statement is false, and then underline it and explain why. As a coach, Brian Pawloski not only gave me advice on how to be better in playing basketball, but also taught me knowledge in other subjects. 43．Who is the person that has influenced you the most? Please Explain.

I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills (操练) to develop my skills and reach the next level of play. When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake. Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort; he expected 200% effort. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After a tiring practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “Coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters. Unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how we did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual. 40．What did many coaches usually focus on? 41．What mistake did the author make when he was in Senior Two? 42．Please decide which part of the following statement is false, and then underline it and explain why. As a coach, Brian Pawloski not only gave me advice on how to be better in playing basketball, but also taught me knowledge in other subjects. 43．Who is the person that has influenced you the most? Please Explain.

As a quiet boy, I never saw myself as someone who could make others laugh. Last winter, however, an unexpected experience completely 1 my opinion about humour.

I was afraid my classmates would think my performance was silly. Later that evening, I talked to my father. He told me that true humour was not just about making big jokes. Sometimes a gentle, light-hearted word could lift people’s 4 . He suggested I try a simple story from my daily life instead of a prepared funny play. His words 5 me a little. The next few days, I practised my story again and again. On the day of the show, my hands shook as I walked to the front of the classroom. I took a deep breath and began to speak. At first, my voice was 6 . Then I noticed a few classmates smile. Slowly, more people began to laugh. Their warm reaction surprised me. I relaxed and kept going, adding small funny facial 7 while telling my story. When I finished, the whole class clapped. I realized I had not made perfect jokes, but I had shared a moment of joy with them. Humour was not about being a great 8 . It was about connecting with people honestly.

Unlike other teachers who kept serious in class, Mr. Li often told short funny stories while explaining texts. At first, some students thought he was wasting class time. One cold Monday morning, our whole class was in a bad mood. We had just received low scores in a difficult test. Nobody wanted to speak, and the classroom was completely silent. Seeing our upset faces, Mr. Li did not start his lesson right away. Instead, he shared a funny story about his own failure when he was a student. He described how nervous he had been during an important exam and how silly his mistakes sounded now. Soon, soft laughter spread across the room. After we calmed down, he told us, “Humour is not only for fun. Sometimes it works as a bridge that helps us face our pain. Laughing at our own mistakes does not mean we give up. It means we have the courage to move forward.” His words touched me deeply. Before that, I had always hidden my mistakes and felt ashamed whenever I failed. Later, I began to try this way of thinking. When I made mistakes in my studies, I would try to find something light-hearted in the situation. Gradually, I became less afraid of failure. I finally understood what Mr. Li wanted us to learn: real humour comes from an open heart, and it gives us power to deal with hard moments in life. 24. What did some students think of Mr. Li’s funny stories at first? A. They were helpful. B. They were a waste of time. C. They were too silly. D. They were hard to understand. 25. Why was the whole class upset on that Monday morning? A. They failed to finish their homework. B. They would take a difficult exam. C. They got poor marks in a recent test. D. They had to listen to a long lesson. 26. What message did Mr. Li want to pass on to his students? A. People should laugh at others’ mistakes. B. Humour helps us face our failures bravely. C. Good scores come from a happy mood. D. Funny stories can improve exam skills. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Power of Humour B. A Funny Story in Class C. My Unforgettable School Tests D. Lessons From My Literature Studies 答案与详细解析 24. B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段 “At first, some students thought he was wasting class time.” 可知一开始部分学生认为他讲趣事是浪费课堂时间。 25. C 解析：细节理解题。第二段 “We had just received low scores in a difficult test.” 点明全班情绪低落的原因是刚考完试，分数不理想。 26. B 解析：推理判断题。由第三段 “Humour is not only for fun. Sometimes it works as a bridge that helps us face our pain… Laughing at our own mistakes does not mean we give up. It means we have the courage to move forward.” 可知老师想告诉学生幽默可以帮助我们勇敢面对失败。 27. A 解析：主旨大意题。全文通过老师的故事，讲述幽默拥有治愈情绪、给予人直面挫折的力量，The Power of Humour最贴合文章主旨。 C Why do people laugh? Most of us believe we laugh only at funny jokes. However, scientists have found that laughter is far more complex. Humour does not just bring pleasure; it also carries important social functions. One major role of laughter is to build connection among people. When you laugh together with friends, you send a warm signal that you share the same feelings. Research shows that shared laughter can quickly reduce distance between two people, even between strangers. That explains why comedians are so welcome: they create moments of shared joy for large groups of audience members. Besides social influence, laughter is also good for our physical health. A good laugh can relax our muscles and reduce stress. Some experts point out that laughing slows down our heart‑beat for a short period and helps our body recover from tiredness. Yet scientists remind us that humour cannot take the place of medical treatment. Another interesting finding is that our sense of humour changes with age. Young people are more likely to enjoy fast, surprising jokes, while older adults prefer gentle, life‑related humour. No matter what kind of jokes we like, humour remains a useful tool to make our daily life brighter. 28. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Laughter helps people get closer to each other. B. Comedians usually tell stories for large groups. C. Strangers seldom share their feelings openly. D. Humour provides people with funny signals. 29. What do scientists remind us about laughter? A. It can cure certain serious diseases. B. It cannot work as a medical treatment. C. It has no influence on our heart‑beat. D. It is more helpful for tired young people. 30. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Old people seldom have a sense of humour. B. Young people prefer humour connected with life. C. People’s taste in humour changes as they grow older. D. Different age groups share the same interest in jokes. 答案与详细解析 28. A 解析：段落主旨题。第二段中心句 “One major role of laughter is to build connection among people.” 说明笑声能够拉近人与人之间的距离。 29. B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段 “Yet scientists remind us that humour cannot take the place of medical treatment.” 可知幽默不能代替药物治疗。 30. C 解析：推理判断题。由最后一段 “Another interesting finding is that our sense of humour changes with age.” 可以得出人们对于幽默的喜好会随着年龄发生改变。 D Stand‑up comedy, a popular form of humour, has a long history and is developing quickly across the world. A stand‑up comedian usually performs alone on a stage, speaking directly to the audience. Unlike actors in a play, they do not depend on costumes or sets. Their main tool is words. There are different kinds of stand‑up humour. Some comedians make jokes about daily life. Others use their own personal experiences as material. A third type of comedian observes social problems and offers funny but thoughtful opinions. No matter which style they choose, good stand‑up is more than just making people laugh. Many top comedians believe their job carries a special responsibility. Laughter can make difficult social topics easier to accept. By using humour, comedians are able to draw public attention to certain problems without causing angry arguments. This is one reason why stand‑up shows have become an important part of modern culture. However, stand‑up artists must be careful with their words. Humour can easily hurt others’ feelings if jokes are not properly chosen. A successful comedian needs to keep a balance between being funny and being respectful. In other words, great humour does not come from making fun of people; it comes from sharing observations about life in a warm and wise way. 31. What is special about stand‑up comedians according to Paragraph 1? A. They perform together with other actors. B. They mainly depend on their speech. C. They need beautiful stage costumes. D. They seldom talk directly to listeners. 32. How many styles of stand‑up humour are mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 33. Why do some comedians consider their work responsible? A. They can influence public attention through humour. B. They are required to solve serious social problems. C. Their jokes always stop people from arguing. D. Their performances must be free of all risks. 34. What is the main message of the last paragraph? A. It is easy for comedians to make successful jokes. B. Humour should avoid hurting other people. C. Stand‑up comedy is the wisest form of art. D. Comedians should never express different opinions. 答案与详细解析 31. B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段 “…their main tool is words.” 可知单口喜剧演员主要依靠言语进行表演。 32. B 解析：细节理解题。第二段依次列举了三类单口喜剧：①笑话日常生活；②以个人经历为素材；③评论社会问题。一共三种类型。 33. A 解析：推理判断题。第三段 “By using humour, comedians are able to draw public attention to certain problems without causing angry arguments.” 说明喜剧演员可以借助幽默引导公众关注社会问题，因此肩负一定责任。 34. B 解析：段落主旨题。尾段核心：幽默创作要在搞笑和尊重之间找到平衡，不能以伤害他人为代价。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Humour is a wonderful skill that can improve our daily life.

C 解析：空前句 “Yet many people believe they are not funny and cannot bring laughter to others.”（很多人认为自己没有幽默感）；空后转折 “anyone can develop a sense of humour”。C 选项 “他们立刻放弃尝试变得幽默” 承接上文人们的消极想法，逻辑连贯。 36. G 解析：本段中心为发现日常生活中有趣的瞬间。前文讲到留意身边出人意料的小事，G 选项 “之后你可以把这些有趣的小事讲给别人听” 顺承文意。 37. A 解析：设空为本段主题句。下文多次出现 “laugh at yourself”“laugh at small failures”，A 选项 “不要害怕自嘲” 概括本段主旨。 38.

F 解析：前文提到开玩笑前思考话语会不会让别人不快。F 选项 “如果答案是肯定的（会让人不快），最好换一个话题”，承接上文的思考，引出善意幽默的原则。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Sports are the base of my life. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills (操练) to develop my skills and reach the next level of play. When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake. Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort; he expected 200% effort. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After a tiring practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “Coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters. Unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how we did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual. 40．What did many coaches usually focus on? 41．What mistake did the author make when he was in Senior Two? 42．Please decide which part of the following statement is false, and then underline it and explain why. As a coach, Brian Pawloski not only gave me advice on how to be better in playing basketball, but also taught me knowledge in other subjects. 43．Who is the person that has influenced you the most? Please Explain. (In about 40 words) 【答案】 40．They usually focused on drills to develop the author’s skills and reach the next level of play. 41．He only put out about 90% effort in the school basketball team tryouts because he thought he would be selected without any problem. 42．As a coach, Brian Pawloski not only gave me advice on how to be better in playing basketball, but also taught me knowledge in other subjects. The reason is that Brian Pawloski only gave the author advice on basketball and life, but did not teach him knowledge in other subjects. 43．开放性试题。答案可以为The person who has influenced me most is my English teacher. She always encouraged me when I failed exams and taught me effective learning methods, which helped me become confident in English. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者自幼热爱运动，高二时遇到篮球教练Brian，其要求极致努力且关注队员全面发展，对作者的篮球之路和人生影响深远。 【详解】40．细节理解题。根据第一段“I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills (操练) to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.(我认识很多教练，听过他们上百条建议，但他们通常侧重于通过操练来提升我的技能，帮助我在运动水平上更上一层楼。)”可知，很多教练通常侧重于通过训练来提升作者的运动技能，助力其运动水平提升。故填They usually focused on drills to develop the author’s skills and reach the next level of play. 41．细节理解题。根据第二段“I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.(我去参加了选拔赛，只付出了大约九成的努力，因为我觉得自己肯定能入选。那真是个大错误。)”可知，作者高二时犯的错误是参加校篮球队选拔仅付出约九成努力，因自认为入选毫无问题而未全力以赴。故填He only put out about 90% effort in the school basketball team tryouts because he thought he would be selected without any problem. 42．细节理解题。根据第四段“I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life.(我可以坦诚地说，没有哪个教练像他这样，给过我这么多关于如何打好篮球的建议，更重要的是，还给了我很多关于如何经营人生的建议。)”可知，Brian教练只是给作者篮球和人生方面的建议，并未教其他学科知识。所以划线部分为taught me knowledge in other subjects。故填As a coach, Brian Pawloski not only gave me advice on how to be better in playing basketball, but also taught me knowledge in other subjects. The reason is that Brian Pawloski only gave the author advice on basketball and life, but did not teach him knowledge in other subjects. 43．开放性试题，言之有理即可。答案可以为：对我影响最大的人是我的英语老师。当我考试不及格时，她总是鼓励我，教我有效的学习方法，这帮助我对英语充满信心。故填The person who has influenced me most is my English teacher. She always encouraged me when I failed exams and taught me effective learning methods, which helped me become confident in English. 第二节（20分） 44．假定你是李华，你校英文报正在开设一个 “Humour in Life” 专栏。专栏编辑来信，向你征集建议，希望你谈谈如何在校园生活中培养幽默感。请你给编辑回一封邮件，内容包括： 幽默感的益处； 给出两条可行建议； 表达祝愿。 注意： 词数 80 左右； 可适当增加细节，使行文连贯； 邮件开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear editor, I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on developing a sense of humour at school.
