version of the famous British comedy actor Charlie Chaplin． 　　His name is Karim Asir．He wears make－up and clothes to look like Charlie Chaplin in his movies．Asir also uses similar physical movements．He performs on the streets and at events in the capital of Afghanistan， Kabul． 　　Afghanistan has dealt with many years of war and widespread destruction brought by attacks．The 25－year－old actor says his goal is to use humour to help take people’s minds off the difficulties they face every day．“It is very simple．I want to give Afghans a reason to smile，” he said． 　　Charlie Chaplin rose to fame during the silent film age of the 1920s．His movies became popular around the world．When young Asir and his family escaped to Iran in 1996， he watched Chaplin’s movies on television and became fond of the actor and the characters he played．One of the characters that impressed Asir most was a funny－looking man known as the Little Tramp．This character had no money and was always getting into trouble．The creative method he used to get out of trouble was always being humorous． 　　After returning to Afghanistan， Asir started wearing make－up and recreating Chaplin’s characters．He performs in public parks， homes for needy youth， as well as private parties and international aid agency events． 　　“I want to give my people a chance to forget their problems such as war， conflicts， and insecurity，” he said． 　　To do this， he keeps smiling while performing around the city and meeting with fans， but Asir says that inside， he cannot help but feel fearful about possible attacks． 　　“I am afraid of getting attacked， but these issues cannot stop me from being Charlie Chaplin，” he said． 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了阿富汗的查理•卓别林的扮演者卡里姆•阿西尔，以及他给人们带来快乐的故事。 1.What does Asir want to do by using humour？（　　） A．To make himself look like Chaplin． B．To make people laugh and be happy． C．To earn money and support his family． D．To encourage people to face their difficulties． 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，阿西尔想通过幽默来让人们笑，让他们快乐。 2.Which of the following is true about Asir？（　　） A．Asir got to know Chaplin at the age of 25. B．Asir wanted to be an actor when he was a child． C．Asir began to perform after returning from Iran． D．Asir played the Little Tramp and became popular． 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第五段可知，阿西尔从伊朗回来后开始表演。 3.What did Asir concern about while performing？（　　） A．People may not like his performance． B．He may encounter with dangerous attacks． C．He might make mistakes in his performance． D．People might feel afraid of being out in public． 解析：B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，阿西尔在表演时担心可能会遇到危险的袭击。 4.What is the best title for this article？（　　） A．Afghanistan： War and Peace B．The Challenges of Being an Actor C．The Story of the Afghan Charlie Chaplin D．Charlie Chaplin： The World’s Greatest Comedian 解析：C　标题归纳题。文章主要讲的是阿富汗翻版查理•卓别林的喜剧演员卡里姆•阿西尔，以及他给人们带来快乐的故事。因此，文章最好的标题是C项（阿富汗查理•卓别林的故事）。 B 　　（2026•四川成都高二期中）Humor has long been recognized for its positive effects， even in the darkest times．Laughter serves as a bridge， helping individuals get through pain．This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play， Mary Jane．The play balances humor and heartbreak， providing a fresh idea on the trials of care giving and the strength of the human spirit． 　　Mary Jane tells the story of a single mother who raises her disabled son， Alex．The play explores friendship， unconditional mother love， and hope and despair．Despite all the challenges she faces， Mary Jane’s life is filled with humor， offering the audience brief respites （喘息） from her emotional trouble． 　　The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience．This is achieved by showing the influence of Alex’s condition through the eyes of those who care for him．The audience feels the weight of his absence and his various needs， which take up most of Mary Jane’s life．Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son’s constant medical needs．Her interactions with the supporting characters show the importance of community support and humor that help her fight with her daily struggles．One of the most moving parts of the play is that of Mary Jane’s interactions with other mothers of disabled children．They exchange advice， encourage and entertain each other with humor． 　　Norman Cousins， a professor， recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter．Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic （麻醉的） effect and gave him at least two hours of pain－free sleep．His findings show humor’s physical and psychological benefits． 　　Research also supports the importance of laughter and humor， showing that it can reduce stress， improve mood and resilience．Humor positively and directly affects people’s health．This indicates that humor can buffer against stress and improve overall mental health． 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了幽默对身心健康的积极作用。文章以剧本《Mary Jane》为例，论述了幽默在应对生活挑战、减轻压力、改善情绪等方面的作用，并引用Norman Cousins的例子和研究结果进一步证明，强调了幽默的重要性。 5.What is the purpose of the text？（　　） A．To advertise a new play． B．To provide humor in our daily lives． C．To introduce the way to be humorous． D．To emphasize the importance of humor． 解析：D　推理判断题。根据第一段中 ．．．its positive effects ．．．Laughter serves as a bridge， helping individuals get through pain ．．．及最后一段中．．．reduce stress， improve mood and resilience．可知，文章的主题是幽默对身心健康的积极作用。 6.Which words can describe Mary Jane？（　　） A．Careful and friendly． B．Loyal and hardworking． C．Strong and humorous． D．Curious and sensitive． 解析：C　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句和第三段中Mary Jane tries hard ．．．medical needs．可知，Mary Jane面对生活中的困境时，保持幽默，并展现出坚强的品质。 7.What can we learn from the play？（　　） A．The audience seldom see Alex in the play． B．Mary Jane has no friends． C．Mary Jane never goes out to work． D．Mary Jane has a considerate husband． 解析：A　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，剧中很少展示Alex的身体形象。 8.How do we know about Norman Cousins？（　　） A．He interacts with other mothers of disabled children． B．The community helps him a lot． C．He has a balanced diet． D．He recovers from his illness by laughing a lot． 解析：D　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知，Norman Cousins通过每天大笑从重病中恢复。 C 　　Jokes and humor are often thought of as unimportant．If the lawyer defending you in court couldn’t stop joking， you’d be understandably alarmed． 　　However， regarding humour as insignificant is a mistake．Humour， jokes and laughter， have a vital role to play in human behaviour and interaction．They are a powerful part of social bonding and are genuinely beneficial for health via their stress－relieving properties． 　　Why do we respond， in such powerful and rewarding ways， to things that objectively make little sense？ A substantial amount of data has been generated regarding how humour works in the brain and on the various types of recognisable jokes that trigger it． 　　Verbal puns， the most familiar type of joke， involve words that convey two meanings at once．For example， “Why did the golfer wear two pairs of trousers？ In case he got a hole in one．” Here “hole in one” has two possible interpretations．Their simplicity and familiarity mean most people recognise the humour in puns．So， the brain’s humour processes are still engaged． 　　But where does humour arise from in the brain？ Considerable research points towards a specific system in the brain for recognizing humour．This system seemingly detects and resolves incongruity （不和谐）．Our brains know how things， like language and behaviors， should work．But， in the real world， many things don’t match our expectations．It seems our brains have evolved a system to recognise when this happens． 　　If normality is subverted， it means we don’t know what’s going to happen， which creates cognitive （认知） tension．However， the system that recognises incongruity seemingly also resolves it， by providing an explanation， or at least a confirmation that the incongruity has no negative consequences．This removes the uncertainty， relieving the tension．So， we experience a rewarding feeling．If the incongruity is not resolved， however， humour is absent．If the answer to “Why did the golfer wear two pairs of trousers？” is “in case the metal owl that lives in his gold bag attacks him”， that’s not funny．There’s unresolved incongruity． 　　Humour is essentially our brain going， “This isn’t how things usually work ．．．but I’m okay with it!” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了笑话和幽默如何影响大脑结构和功能，以及它们如何与大脑的奖励系统相互作用。 9.What does the author say about humour in the first two paragraphs？（　　） A．Its positive role is often underrated． B．It mainly serves to entertain and amuse． C．Its harmful effects shouldn’t be ignored． D．It is essential for professional communication． 解析：A　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句和第二段第一句可知，幽默给人们带来的积极作用和影响经常被低估。 10.Why does the author mention the “hole in one” example in paragraph 4？（　　） A．To prove a theory． B．To draw a conclusion． C．To illustrate a concept． D．To make a comparison． 解析：C　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知，此处在对pun（双关语）进一步的举例解释说明。 11.What does the underlined word “subverted” in paragraph 6 probably mean？（　　） A．Detected．　 B．Overturned． C．Established．　 D．Repeated． 解析：B　词义猜测题。根据第五段最后两句以及画线词所在句可知，此处normality is subverted指的是正常的、符合人们预期的表达被颠覆或者推翻会造成大脑的紧张感。由此推测，画线词意思是“推翻”。 12.What is the best title for the text？（　　） A．How Jokes Affect Brain Structures B．Using Humour to Boost Brain Power C．Jokes and the Brain’s Reward System D．Unlocking Brain Secrets Behind Humour 解析：D　标题归纳题。本文介绍了幽默和笑话在人类行为中的重要作用，并解释了大脑如何处理幽默信息。因此，D项（揭开幽默背后的大脑秘密）适合作文章标题。 Ⅱ．阅读七选五 　　（2026•河南濮阳高二期中）To be funny is not just talent but a skill that can be learned．Many people believe humor is natural．Research， however， shows that funny people actually practice techniques．Being funny matters.13.　　 Yet most common advice on humor sounds vague （含糊的）．Suggestions like “listen carefully” or “be surprising” leave people wondering how to use them in real life．Fortunately， researchers and comedians have provided practical strategies． 　　One of the easiest techniques is to give the opposite answer to yes/no questions．When people expect “yes”， a sudden “no” creates surprise and laughter．The magic is that the moment you give the opposite answer， you have surprised your audience， so they laugh.14.　　 　　The Rule of 3 is another useful method.15.　　 For example， “I love hot dogs， hamburgers， and handsome men．” The break in pattern catches attention and creates humor．Similarly， switching character roles in a story can also work．If the “serious” person suddenly acts silly， or the “weak” one becomes powerful， the change surprises the audience． 　　16.　　 Jokes may fail if the punchline （妙语） is weak， but true experiences are relatable．That is why many comedians collect daily observations and later share them．If the story is not funny， it still has meaning； if it is funny， the effect is even stronger．In daily life， you can do the same： note down things that made you laugh and retell them naturally in conversation． 　　Finally， humor is also about attitude．When you are asked an awkward question， turning it into humor shows confidence．Even a simple word like “whatever” can shift the focus and make others laugh.17.　　 Anyone can become funnier through practice． A．Then you can move on to your real story． B．In short， humor is not a gift for only a few． C．The real－life stories are often funnier than jokes． D．It explains why they often make their jokes funny． E．Practicing humor requires observing others’ mistakes carefully． F．It builds a pattern with two normal items and ends with something unexpected． G．It makes conversations easier， creates connection， and often reduces awkwardness． 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了幽默不仅是天赋更是可习得的技能，并介绍了制造幽默的实用策略及幽默态度的重要性。 13.G　由上文可知，本空应具体说明幽默的重要性。G选项详细列举了幽默的三个好处，解释了“幽默为何重要”，能承接上文，符合语境。 14.A　由上文可知，本空应说明使用该技巧后的后续动作，衔接“让观众发笑”的效果。A 选项表示用相反答案制造幽默后，可自然过渡到核心内容，符合“技巧应用逻辑”。
