A passenger threw herself into the seat next to me, holding a bunch of shopping bags tightly against her chest. “Anyone sitting here?” she asked. “No, please sit,” I replied, wishing the train would start moving soon. I boarded at Cardiff Central Train Station after spending the New Year’s holiday with my parents. I was supposed to go home the next week, but a call from my wife completely messed up the plan: Our daughter’s singing competition had been brought forward to that evening. Now I sat staring at my watch, silently begging the engine to go faster. The train was crowded with last-minute shoppers, and a few seats away three teenage girls were laughing and showing each other gifts. Their northern accents were a small comfort to me. “In a rush?” the lady beside me asked. I nodded and began to explain my situation, trying to ignore the pity I saw in her eyes. As the train stopped at each station, the growing darkness outside seemed to steal any hope I had. I checked my phone again and again, but there was no reply from my wife. Finally, the train arrived. I rushed out of the station and into the biting cold. Snow was falling like feathers, but I had no time to admire it. Finding a taxi, I gave the driver my destination — the City Concert Hall — and felt my voice break. The taxi drove through the busy market, while I kept looking at my phone, feeling each minute slip away too fast. At last, the taxi pulled up outside the hall. I paid and hurried inside, where a volunteer pointed me to the competition hall. I ran as fast as I could, fearing that I might be too late. The doors were locked; I pressed the bell impatiently. With a soft click, the door opened, and I found myself facing a crowd of parents and teachers. Just then, I heard the words I had been waiting for: “She made it! Your daughter won first place!” 24．(2.5分)How did the author feel according to paragraph 1? A．Embarrassed. B．Anxious. C．Hopeful. D．Shocked. 25．(2.5分)Why did the author go back early?

Because “moo” is the sound a cow makes! This is an example of a dad joke. Anyone can make a dad joke — you don’t have to be a parent. Most of the time it’s just a joke that uses a very obvious and predictable pun (双关语). Dad jokes are usually thought to be pretty harmless, and maybe even cause feelings of love. And researchers have found that humor may actually be an important tool for parents. A team from the US wanted to find out more about the effect humor can have when it is used by parents when raising their children. More than 300 people aged between 18 and 45 took part in a survey. They were asked to say whether they agreed or disagreed with a number of statements about humor in parenting. These included their memories of whether humor was used by their own parents, and if they might use it with their own children. More than 70% of the participants said they believed humor can be a useful tool in parenting. And 55% said that they had been raised by parents who used humor in their parenting. The study also found that people whose parents used humor were more likely to say they had a good relationship with their parents. Many participants even said they’d like to take a course to learn about how they could use humor in parenting. So why does it work? The researchers said family life can be stressful, and humor can be a good way to reduce stress levels in the home. But that doesn’t just mean telling more dad jokes—humor could be used instead of anger to relieve a stressful situation, for example. 28．(2.5分)How did the author introduce the phrase “dad joke”? A．By giving an example. B．By making a definition. C．By explaining where to use it. D．By showing its hidden meaning. 29．(2.5分)In which aspect do researchers plan to figure out the function of humor? A．Family harmony. B．Social gatherings. C．Parenting skills. D．Parenting stress. 30．(2.5分)What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The benefits of using humor in education. B．Different types of humor used by parents. C．The disadvantages of humor in family relationships. D．Participants’ views on the use of humor in parenting. 31．(2.5分)What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A．How humor deals with pressure. B．What effect humor has on home. C．Which humor should be stressed. D．Why humor makes people happy. （本题10分）A new study gives “funny or die” a whole new meaning. Published in April in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, the research found that women with a strong sense of humor tend to live longer — even when they get sick, especially from heart disease or infections. For men, having a joyful personality also helped protect against infections. Norwegian researchers followed 53,556 women and men over 15 years. They wanted to see if a sense of humor could affect how long people live. The team used a detailed questionnaire to measure different parts of humor — like how people think, socialize, and feel about funny situations. They then looked at deaths from several diseases, including heart disease, infections, cancer, and lung disease. The results showed that women who scored high in the “thinking” part of humor had: ·A 48% lower risk of dying from any cause, ·A 73% lower risk of dying from heart disease, ·And an 83% lower risk of dying from infections. For men, the benefit was only seen in infections — those with high humor scores had a 74% lower risk of dying from them. Researchers think this difference between men and women might be because men’s sense of humor slightly decreased as they got older. Also, the social and emotional parts of humor didn’t show any clear effect on how long people lived. According to Sven Svebak, a professor who co-authored the study, the thinking part of humor is a stable personality trait (特性). It affects how people understand everyday events. This can help reduce social conflicts and stress and prevent stress hormones like cortisol(皮质醇) from rising too much. When cortisol stays high for a long time, it weakens the immune system. Although genes partly decide our sense of humor, it’s also shaped by life experiences. Svebak says children who don’t see adults using humor to deal with problems may not use it themselves when they grow up. But don’t worry if your childhood wasn’t filled with laughter — studies show it’s never too late to learn to laugh at life’s absurdities (荒谬). 32．(2.5分)How did the researchers carry out their study? A．By assigning tasks. B．By doing an interview. C．By doing field research. D．By designing questions. 33．(2.5分)Which part of humor has clearly affected people’s life according to the study? A．The social part. B．The cultural part. C．The thinking part. D．The emotional part. 34．(2.5分)What can be inferred about our sense of humor according to Svebak? A．Genes alone play a key role. B．It can be acquired when we grow up. C．It must be developed since childhood. D．It is rarely shaped by life experiences. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Laugh Lots, Live Longer B．Art of Growing Young C．The Best Medicine for Us D．Be Funny or Die Young （本题12.5分）Humor is a universal language, but each country or culture has its unique style. A great example of this is Australia. In Australia, people enjoy making fun of each other as a way to joke around or lighten the mood. For example, “What happened to your hair? It looks like a bird’s nest.” In other cultures, saying this could be risky, as it might lead to a loss of face or dignity. 36(2.5分) The closer you are to someone, the more honest you can be. After such a comment, your friend will likely laugh and appreciate your honesty — while fixing their “bird’s nest” hairstyle. 37(2.5分) An Australian might say, “When I sing, it sounds like two cats fighting on the street.” Australians enjoy making fun of themselves, sharing embarrassing moments or making light of their own shortcomings. 38(2.5分) Some believe this way of joking comes from Australia’s history, where prisoners did not agree with fixed social levels or class differences. Sarcasm (冷面幽默) is also a popular form of humor in Australia. 39(2.5分) “On our last shark-watching tour, we left with 20 passengers, but only five came back. I really have no idea what happened to the other 15.” Tourists unfamiliar with Australian humor might believe this was a serious statement, imagining the missing passengers were eaten by sharks! 40(2.5分) In fact, it’s just another way Australians connect and share a laugh. A．For instance, a tour guide might joke with a straight face, B．This kind of humor often surprises visitors from other countries. C．Self-deprecation (自嘲) is another key part of Australian humor. D．Australians also enjoy telling stories about their wildlife adventures, E．However, in Australia, such jokes indicate closeness and comfort between friends. F．This shows they don’t take themselves too seriously, making them more approachable. G．Therefore, it’s important to be careful when using humor in cross-cultural communication. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Inspired by Jackie Chan’s fight scenes in films, Swedish comedy actor Pilotti discovered Peking Opera as a 41 to cultural exchange. “It’s not just martial arts — it’s about telling a story and creatively 42 ,” he says.

His myth-based work Jingwei earned 53 for “sparks of East-West fusion.” Now, Pilotti aims to co-create shows with Chinese and Swedish actors, calling it “true cross-cultural 54 .” For him, combining Peking Opera with physical theater embodies cultural resonance (共鸣) — a journey 55 by Chan’s films and sustained by equal passion. 41．(1分)A．commitment B．gateway C．response D．proof 42．(1分)A．fighting B．directing C．following D．researching 43．(1分)A．slightly B．cautiously C．strictly D．secretly 44．(1分)A．admitting B．mastering C．discovering D．teaching 45．(1分)A．adventure B．dream C．plan D．role 46．(1分)A．fit B．fan C．contribution D．quality 47．(1分)A．inspire B．relieve C．save D．test 48．(1分)A．announced B．repeated C．introduced D．explained 49．(1分)A．experienced B．rooted C．skilled D．engaged 50．(1分)A．checking out B．reflecting on C．interacting with D．listening to 51．(1分)A．exhibition B．project C．competition D．show 52．(1分)A．shapes B．promotes C．replaces D．purifies 53．(1分)A．guarantee B．comprehension C．leadership D．praise 54．(1分)A．background B．comment C．dialogue D．character 55．(1分)A．explained B．lighted C．considered D．described 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Humor is defined as the ability to enjoy what is 56(1.5分) (amuse) in a given situation.

Though the treatment was tough and exhausting, Bob never lost his courage and optimism. When my husband Art and I asked him whether he wanted to take a driving trip to Mexico to relax and recharge, he firmly said, “Yes.” His wife Debbie supported him wholeheartedly, and his doctors agreed, stopping his treatment temporarily to let him enjoy the journey. After Christmas, with the hope of a new year and Bob’s positive spirit guiding us, the four of us headed off on a memorable Mexican adventure. We all wanted to make this trip special for Bob, as he had gone through great hardships from his illness. Unexpectedly, Bob lifted our spirits with his humor and enthusiasm. When we crossed the Tropic of Cancer (北回归线) and I asked for a photo stop, Art pulled over, Debbie laughed, and Bob playfully complained, “Cancer, oh, no.” We all burst out laughing right after. As keen birdwatchers, we visited a flower-filled park famous for special birds. When Bob saw buzzards (秃鹫) circling above, he raised his fist (拳头) and shouted, “Go away! I’m not done yet!” His lively humor filled the trip with joy and made us forget his sufferings. Our days in Mexico were filled with laughter and pleasant surprises, all thanks to Bob’s positive attitude. Once, returning from Tamazunchale, Art spotted colorful birds in an orange garden and drove onto a private road. We enjoyed birdwatching for half an hour before a black truck approached — the landowner and his workers asked about our breaking in. Art explained anxiously, and luckily, the landowner welcomed us warmly and gave us two bags of delicious oranges, which Bob enjoyed deeply. On New Year’s Eve, we attended a local party, made friends with Bob’s help, and followed the grape-eating tradition. Back in our room, we celebrated with Bob’s special drinks, finishing two bottles happily before bed. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When heading back, our car broke down unexpectedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the repairmen arrived, we’d turned the long wait into joy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 1 Laugh out Loud!（适中版01）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What are the speakers mainly talking about?

Visitors to the “Ha ha” house in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, walk into a little cloud of white smoke when they step inside. Its purpose is to blow away their worries before they climb into a giant washing machine. Then they move down a twisting slide into a space filled with little white balls, where their trip to a happier place starts. 43-year-old Andrea Golubic is the museum’s creator. Golubic said she got the idea during the pandemic. At that time, many people were feeling down, so she wanted to heal people with laughter. Golubic said a picture of herself when she was seven inspired her. "I was constantly joking as a kid, "she added. The museum has eight interactive zones or areas. One has rubber chickens singing cheerfully. They sing songs like Abba’s dancing queen. There is a room where people wrestle in large clothes. There is also some serious history of humor, from ancient to modern times told through theaters, films or the Internet. Singer Zura Buick said the museum was just right for this era. “Entering here is like entering childhood, being relieved of all problems” she said.

A passenger threw herself into the seat next to me, holding a bunch of shopping bags tightly against her chest. “Anyone sitting here?” she asked. “No, please sit,” I replied, wishing the train would start moving soon. I boarded at Cardiff Central Train Station after spending the New Year’s holiday with my parents. I was supposed to go home the next week, but a call from my wife completely messed up the plan: Our daughter’s singing competition had been brought forward to that evening. Now I sat staring at my watch, silently begging the engine to go faster. The train was crowded with last-minute shoppers, and a few seats away three teenage girls were laughing and showing each other gifts. Their northern accents were a small comfort to me. “In a rush?” the lady beside me asked. I nodded and began to explain my situation, trying to ignore the pity I saw in her eyes. As the train stopped at each station, the growing darkness outside seemed to steal any hope I had. I checked my phone again and again, but there was no reply from my wife. Finally, the train arrived. I rushed out of the station and into the biting cold. Snow was falling like feathers, but I had no time to admire it. Finding a taxi, I gave the driver my destination — the City Concert Hall — and felt my voice break. The taxi drove through the busy market, while I kept looking at my phone, feeling each minute slip away too fast. At last, the taxi pulled up outside the hall. I paid and hurried inside, where a volunteer pointed me to the competition hall. I ran as fast as I could, fearing that I might be too late. The doors were locked; I pressed the bell impatiently. With a soft click, the door opened, and I found myself facing a crowd of parents and teachers. Just then, I heard the words I had been waiting for: “She made it! Your daughter won first place!” 24．(2.5分)How did the author feel according to paragraph 1? A．Embarrassed. B．Anxious. C．Hopeful. D．Shocked. 25．(2.5分)Why did the author go back early?

A．His wife’s safety. B．The cold weather. C．The noisy teenagers. D．His daughter’s situation. 27．(2.5分)What can we know about the author from the text? A．He was an impatient man. B．He failed to enter the hall. C．He missed the competition. D．He was surprised by the result. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．D 27．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在新年假期后紧急赶回家参加女儿歌唱比赛的经历，描述了他在火车上的焦急等待、途中的紧张心情以及最终赶到比赛现场得知女儿获得第一名的故事。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段中““Anyone sitting here?” she asked. “No, please sit,” I replied, wishing the train would start moving soon. (“这里有人吗？”她问道，“没有，请坐吧，”我回答道，心里希望火车能尽快开动。)”可知，作者急切地希望火车尽快出发，说明他内心十分焦急不安。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was supposed to go home the next week, but a call from my wife completely messed up the plan: Our daughter’s singing competition had been brought forward to that evening. (我原计划下周回家，但妻子打来的电话彻底打乱了计划：我们女儿的歌唱比赛被提前到了当晚。)”可知，作者提前赶回去是为了参加女儿的歌唱比赛。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中“As the train stopped at each station, the growing darkness outside seemed to steal any hope I had. I checked my phone again and again, but there was no reply from my wife. (火车在每个车站停靠时，外面越来越深的黑暗似乎夺走了我所有的希望。我反复查看手机，但妻子却没有任何回应。)”可知，作者在火车上反复查看手机却收不到妻子的回复，内心担忧的是女儿比赛的情况。 27．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The doors were locked; I pressed the bell impatiently. (门是锁着的；我不耐烦地按了门铃。)”以及“She made it! Your daughter won first place! (她成功了！你女儿获得了第一名！)”可知，作者赶到时比赛已经开始，门都锁了，说明他错过了比赛的全部进行过程，仅赶上了结果宣布环节。 （本题10分）Why did the cow go to Hollywood? Because it wanted to be in the moo-vies! Get it? Because “moo” is the sound a cow makes! This is an example of a dad joke. Anyone can make a dad joke — you don’t have to be a parent. Most of the time it’s just a joke that uses a very obvious and predictable pun (双关语). Dad jokes are usually thought to be pretty harmless, and maybe even cause feelings of love. And researchers have found that humor may actually be an important tool for parents. A team from the US wanted to find out more about the effect humor can have when it is used by parents when raising their children. More than 300 people aged between 18 and 45 took part in a survey. They were asked to say whether they agreed or disagreed with a number of statements about humor in parenting. These included their memories of whether humor was used by their own parents, and if they might use it with their own children. More than 70% of the participants said they believed humor can be a useful tool in parenting. And 55% said that they had been raised by parents who used humor in their parenting. The study also found that people whose parents used humor were more likely to say they had a good relationship with their parents. Many participants even said they’d like to take a course to learn about how they could use humor in parenting. So why does it work? The researchers said family life can be stressful, and humor can be a good way to reduce stress levels in the home. But that doesn’t just mean telling more dad jokes—humor could be used instead of anger to relieve a stressful situation, for example. 28．(2.5分)How did the author introduce the phrase “dad joke”? A．By giving an example. B．By making a definition. C．By explaining where to use it. D．By showing its hidden meaning. 29．(2.5分)In which aspect do researchers plan to figure out the function of humor? A．Family harmony. B．Social gatherings. C．Parenting skills. D．Parenting stress. 30．(2.5分)What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The benefits of using humor in education. B．Different types of humor used by parents. C．The disadvantages of humor in family relationships. D．Participants’ views on the use of humor in parenting. 31．(2.5分)What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A．How humor deals with pressure. B．What effect humor has on home. C．Which humor should be stressed. D．Why humor makes people happy. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“爸爸笑话”及幽默在父母养育孩子过程中的作用和相关研究发现。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Why did the cow go to Hollywood? Because it wanted to be in the moo-vies! Get it? Because ‘moo’ is the sound a cow makes!(为什么奶牛要去好莱坞？因为它想参演‘牛影’（moo-vies与movies同音）！明白了吗？因为‘moo’是奶牛发出的声音！)”以及第二段中的“This is an example of a dad joke.(这就是一个‘爸爸笑话’的例子)”可知，作者通过举例介绍了“爸爸笑话”这一短语。故选A项。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A team from the US wanted to find out more about the effect humor can have when it is used by parents when raising their children.(美国的一个研究小组想进一步了解父母在养育孩子时使用幽默所产生的影响)”可知，研究人员计划弄清楚幽默在育儿技巧方面的作用。故选C项。 30．主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“More than 70% of the participants said they believed humor can be a useful tool in parenting. And 55% said that they had been raised by parents who used humor in their parenting. The study also found that people whose parents used humor were more likely to say they had a good relationship with their parents. Many participants even said they’d like to take a course to learn about how they could use humor in parenting. (超过70%的参与者表示，他们认为幽默可以成为育儿过程中的一个有用工具。55%的人说，他们的父母在养育自己时就使用过幽默。研究还发现，父母使用幽默的人更有可能表示自己与父母关系融洽。许多参与者甚至表示，他们愿意参加相关课程，学习如何在育儿中运用幽默。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了参与者对在育儿中使用幽默的看法。故选D项。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The researchers said family life can be stressful, and humor can be a good way to reduce stress levels in the home. But that doesn’t just mean telling more dad jokes—humor could be used instead of anger to relieve a stressful situation, for example.(研究人员表示，家庭生活可能充满压力，而幽默是减轻家庭压力的好方法。但这不仅仅意味着讲更多的‘爸爸笑话’——例如，幽默可以用来代替愤怒来缓解紧张的局面)”可知，接下来的段落可能会谈论幽默是如何应对压力的。故选A项。 （本题10分）A new study gives “funny or die” a whole new meaning. Published in April in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, the research found that women with a strong sense of humor tend to live longer — even when they get sick, especially from heart disease or infections. For men, having a joyful personality also helped protect against infections. Norwegian researchers followed 53,556 women and men over 15 years. They wanted to see if a sense of humor could affect how long people live. The team used a detailed questionnaire to measure different parts of humor — like how people think, socialize, and feel about funny situations. They then looked at deaths from several diseases, including heart disease, infections, cancer, and lung disease. The results showed that women who scored high in the “thinking” part of humor had: ·A 48% lower risk of dying from any cause, ·A 73% lower risk of dying from heart disease, ·And an 83% lower risk of dying from infections. For men, the benefit was only seen in infections — those with high humor scores had a 74% lower risk of dying from them. Researchers think this difference between men and women might be because men’s sense of humor slightly decreased as they got older. Also, the social and emotional parts of humor didn’t show any clear effect on how long people lived. According to Sven Svebak, a professor who co-authored the study, the thinking part of humor is a stable personality trait (特性). It affects how people understand everyday events. This can help reduce social conflicts and stress and prevent stress hormones like cortisol(皮质醇) from rising too much. When cortisol stays high for a long time, it weakens the immune system. Although genes partly decide our sense of humor, it’s also shaped by life experiences. Svebak says children who don’t see adults using humor to deal with problems may not use it themselves when they grow up. But don’t worry if your childhood wasn’t filled with laughter — studies show it’s never too late to learn to laugh at life’s absurdities (荒谬). 32．(2.5分)How did the researchers carry out their study? A．By assigning tasks. B．By doing an interview. C．By doing field research. D．By designing questions. 33．(2.5分)Which part of humor has clearly affected people’s life according to the study? A．The social part. B．The cultural part. C．The thinking part. D．The emotional part. 34．(2.5分)What can be inferred about our sense of humor according to Svebak? A．Genes alone play a key role. B．It can be acquired when we grow up. C．It must be developed since childhood. D．It is rarely shaped by life experiences. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Laugh Lots, Live Longer B．Art of Growing Young C．The Best Medicine for Us D．Be Funny or Die Young 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．B 35．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项研究发现，幽默感有助于延长寿命，女性受益更显著，男性可降低感染死亡风险，幽默感可后天培养。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“The team used a detailed questionnaire to measure different parts of humor — like how people think, socialize, and feel about funny situations.(该团队采用了一份详细的调查问卷来衡量幽默的各个方面——比如人们是如何思考、如何社交以及对有趣的情境会有怎样的感受)”可知，研究人员通过设计问题开展这项研究。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“According to Sven Svebak, a professor who co-authored the study, the thinking part of humor is a stable personality trait (特性). It affects how people understand everyday events. This can help reduce social conflicts and stress and prevent stress hormones like cortisol(皮质醇) from rising too much.(据该研究的合著者之一、教授斯文·斯韦巴克称，幽默中的思考部分是一种稳定的个性特征。它会影响人们对日常事件的理解方式。这有助于减少社会冲突和压力，并防止像皮质醇这样的压力激素过度升高)”可知，幽默的思维部分显然对人们的生活产生了影响。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although genes partly decide our sense of humor, it’s also shaped by life experiences. Svebak says children who don’t see adults using humor to deal with problems may not use it themselves when they grow up.(虽然基因在一定程度上决定了我们的幽默感，但这种幽默感也会受到生活经历的影响。斯韦巴克表示，如果孩子没有看到成年人用幽默的方式来解决难题，那么他们长大后可能就不会自己运用这种幽默方式了)”可知，幽默感是在我们成长过程中逐渐习得的，故选B。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study gives “funny or die” a whole new meaning. Published in April in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, the research found that women with a strong sense of humor tend to live longer — even when they get sick, especially from heart disease or infections. For men, having a joyful personality also helped protect against infections.(一项新的研究为“幽默至上，否则必死”这一说法赋予了全新的含义。该研究于4月发表在《心理生理学医学》杂志上，研究发现，具有强烈幽默感的女性往往更长寿——即便她们生病了，尤其是患心脏病或感染性疾病时也是如此。而对于男性而言，拥有乐观的性格也有助于预防感染)”结合文章主要说明了一项研究发现，幽默感有助于延长寿命，女性受益更显著，男性可降低感染死亡风险，幽默感可后天培养。可知，A选项“多欢笑，寿命更长久”最符合文章标题。故选A。 （本题12.5分）Humor is a universal language, but each country or culture has its unique style. A great example of this is Australia. In Australia, people enjoy making fun of each other as a way to joke around or lighten the mood. For example, “What happened to your hair? It looks like a bird’s nest.” In other cultures, saying this could be risky, as it might lead to a loss of face or dignity. 36(2.5分) The closer you are to someone, the more honest you can be. After such a comment, your friend will likely laugh and appreciate your honesty — while fixing their “bird’s nest” hairstyle. 37(2.5分) An Australian might say, “When I sing, it sounds like two cats fighting on the street.” Australians enjoy making fun of themselves, sharing embarrassing moments or making light of their own shortcomings. 38(2.5分) Some believe this way of joking comes from Australia’s history, where prisoners did not agree with fixed social levels or class differences. Sarcasm (冷面幽默) is also a popular form of humor in Australia. 39(2.5分) “On our last shark-watching tour, we left with 20 passengers, but only five came back. I really have no idea what happened to the other 15.” Tourists unfamiliar with Australian humor might believe this was a serious statement, imagining the missing passengers were eaten by sharks! 40(2.5分) In fact, it’s just another way Australians connect and share a laugh. A．For instance, a tour guide might joke with a straight face, B．This kind of humor often surprises visitors from other countries. C．Self-deprecation (自嘲) is another key part of Australian humor. D．Australians also enjoy telling stories about their wildlife adventures, E．However, in Australia, such jokes indicate closeness and comfort between friends. F．This shows they don’t take themselves too seriously, making them more approachable. G．Therefore, it’s important to be careful when using humor in cross-cultural communication. 【答案】36．E 37．C 38．F 39．A 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍澳大利亚幽默的独特风格，包括互相调侃、自嘲及冷面幽默等形式与特点。 【详解】36．根据上文“In other cultures, saying this could be risky, as it might lead to a loss of face or dignity.(在其他文化中，说这话可能有风险，因为它可能会导致丢脸或失尊严)”以及下文“The closer you are to someone, the more honest you can be.(你和某人越亲近，就可以越坦诚)”可知，此处应体现澳大利亚与其他文化的差异，说明此类玩笑在澳大利亚的意义。E选项“However, in Australia, such jokes indicate closeness and comfort between friends.(然而，在澳大利亚，这样的玩笑表明朋友之间的亲密与融洽)”以转折衔接上下文，符合语境。故选E项。 37．根据下文“An Australian might say, “When I sing, it sounds like two cats fighting on the street.” Australians enjoy making fun of themselves, sharing embarrassing moments or making light of their own shortcomings.(一个澳大利亚人可能会说：“我唱歌的时候，听起来就像两只猫在街上打架。”澳大利亚人喜欢自嘲，分享尴尬时刻，或者对自己的缺点轻描淡写)”可知，此处应引出“自嘲”这一澳大利亚幽默的特点。C选项“Self-deprecation is another key part of Australian humor.(自嘲是澳大利亚幽默的另一个重要部分)”作为段落主旨句，引出下文具体例子，符合语境。故选C项。 38．根据上文“Australians enjoy making fun of themselves, sharing embarrassing moments or making light of their own shortcomings.(澳大利亚人喜欢自嘲，分享尴尬时刻或淡化自己的缺点)”可知，此处应说明自嘲带来的效果。F选项“This shows they don’t take themselves too seriously, making them more approachable.(这表明他们不会太较真，从而让自己更易亲近)”中的this指代上文自嘲的行为，解释其带来的积极影响，符合语境。故选F项。 39．根据上文“Sarcasm is also a popular form of humor in Australia.(冷面幽默也是澳大利亚一种流行的幽默形式)”以及下文““On our last shark-watching tour...I really have no idea what happened to the other 15.”(“我们上次的观鲨之旅，出发时有20名乘客，但回来时只有5名。我真不知道另外15人怎么了。”)”可知，此处应举例说明澳大利亚的冷面幽默。A选项“For instance, a tour guide might joke with a straight face,(例如，导游可能会面无表情地开玩笑)”以“例如”引出下文导游的玩笑例子，且“面无表情”契合冷面幽默的特点，符合语境。故选A项。 40．根据上文“Tourists unfamiliar with Australian humor might believe this was a serious statement, imagining the missing passengers were eaten by sharks!(不熟悉澳大利亚幽默的游客可能会认为这是严肃的陈述，以为失踪的乘客被鲨鱼吃了！)”以及下文“In fact, it’s just another way Australians connect and share a laugh.(事实上，这只是澳大利亚人建立联系、分享欢笑的另一种方式)”可知，此处应说明这种幽默给游客带来的感受。B选项“This kind of humor often surprises visitors from other countries.(这种幽默常常让来自其他国家的游客感到惊讶)”衔接上文游客的误解，符合语境。故选B项。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Inspired by Jackie Chan’s fight scenes in films, Swedish comedy actor Pilotti discovered Peking Opera as a 41 to cultural exchange. “It’s not just martial arts — it’s about telling a story and creatively 42 ,” he says.

Though the treatment was tough and exhausting, Bob never lost his courage and optimism. When my husband Art and I asked him whether he wanted to take a driving trip to Mexico to relax and recharge, he firmly said, “Yes.” His wife Debbie supported him wholeheartedly, and his doctors agreed, stopping his treatment temporarily to let him enjoy the journey. After Christmas, with the hope of a new year and Bob’s positive spirit guiding us, the four of us headed off on a memorable Mexican adventure. We all wanted to make this trip special for Bob, as he had gone through great hardships from his illness. Unexpectedly, Bob lifted our spirits with his humor and enthusiasm. When we crossed the Tropic of Cancer (北回归线) and I asked for a photo stop, Art pulled over, Debbie laughed, and Bob playfully complained, “Cancer, oh, no.” We all burst out laughing right after. As keen birdwatchers, we visited a flower-filled park famous for special birds. When Bob saw buzzards (秃鹫) circling above, he raised his fist (拳头) and shouted, “Go away! I’m not done yet!” His lively humor filled the trip with joy and made us forget his sufferings. Our days in Mexico were filled with laughter and pleasant surprises, all thanks to Bob’s positive attitude. Once, returning from Tamazunchale, Art spotted colorful birds in an orange garden and drove onto a private road. We enjoyed birdwatching for half an hour before a black truck approached — the landowner and his workers asked about our breaking in. Art explained anxiously, and luckily, the landowner welcomed us warmly and gave us two bags of delicious oranges, which Bob enjoyed deeply. On New Year’s Eve, we attended a local party, made friends with Bob’s help, and followed the grape-eating tradition. Back in our room, we celebrated with Bob’s special drinks, finishing two bottles happily before bed. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When heading back, our car broke down unexpectedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the repairmen arrived, we’d turned the long wait into joy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When heading back, our car broke down unexpectedly. We got stuck on a remote rural road far from nearby towns, with no mobile signal to call for help. A sense of worry crept over us instantly. However, optimistic Bob cheered everyone up right away. He took out the remaining sweet oranges gifted by the garden owner and suggested an impromptu roadside picnic. While having fruit, we talked about funny experiences on the trip, including his jokes at the Tropic of Cancer and his playful warning to buzzards. His constant humor drove away our anxiety. When the repairmen arrived, we’d turned the long wait into joy. They were greatly surprised to see us enjoying ourselves instead of feeling annoyed. After they finished repairing the car efficiently, they shared homemade local candies with us. The sudden breakdown turned into another precious surprise of our journey.
