This indicated that humour could buffer against stress and improve overall mental health.”(研究也支持笑声和幽默的重要性,表明它可以减轻压力,改善情绪和恢复力。幽默积极而直接地影响着人们的健康。这表明幽默可以缓冲压力,改善整体心理健康。)可知,文章主要是强调幽默的重要性。故选D项。 2.C　推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Despite all the challenges she faces, Mary Jane’s life is filled with humour, offering the audience a brief respite (喘息) from her emotional trouble.”(尽管面临挑战,Mary Jane的生活仍充满幽默,让观众从她的情感困扰中得到短暂的喘息。)以及第三段“Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son’s constant medical needs.”(Mary Jane努力满足工作需求,同时还要处理儿子持续的医疗需求。)可知,Mary Jane在面对生活的重重困难时,依然保持幽默,且努力应对各种需求,说明她很坚强且幽默。选项C(坚强且幽默。)符合题意。故选C项。 3.A　细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience.”(这部剧聚焦于角色的情感和心理体验,而不是Alex的实体形象,Alex大部分时间都隐藏在观众视线之外。)可知,观众在剧中很少看到Alex。故选A项。 4.D　推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Norman Cousins, a professor, recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter.

It boosts our learning efficiency, strengthens relationships, and is essential for both physical and mental health. So, how can we cultivate it? First, develop a sense of humour to find lightness in daily routines. Second, taking up some good hobbies, which will broaden our horizons and add pleasure to our daily life, is a rewarding choice. Third, it is very important for us to be friendly, communicate openly, and share our interests and pleasures with others as much as possible. Finally, faced with difficulties and challenges, we should keep calm and gather our courage to overcome them bravely. In a word, if we can follow the suggestions above, I am sure we can keep up a good state of mind all the time. 第二节 【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者在医院度过了夏天,通过制作串珠动物保持活力,让护士们和其他病人感到快乐。作者决定为病房里的每个孩子制作串珠动物,这让作者能把自己的困难经历变成美好的事情并传播快乐。 【详解】 1.段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“她的话提醒我,我可以做点什么。”可知,第一段可描写作者决定为病房里的每个孩子都制作一个串珠动物。 ②由第二段首句内容“这一天到了,我要给病房里的孩子们送礼物。”可知,第二段可描写作者给每一个孩子分发串珠动物的过程。 2.续写线索:护士长的话提醒了作者—决定为每个人做串珠动物—制作过程—给病房里的孩子们送礼物—分享了制作钥匙扣的故事—感悟 One possible version: Her words reminded me that I could do something.

Laughter serves as a bridge, helping individuals get through pain. This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play, Mary Jane. The play balances humour 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 humour, offering the audience a brief respite (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 humour 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 humour. 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 humour’s physical and psychological benefits. Research also supports the importance of laughter and humour, showing that it can reduce stress, improve mood and resilience. Humour positively and directly affects people’s health. This indicated that humour could buffer against stress and improve overall mental health. (　)1.What is the purpose of the text?

B [2026·浙江宁波高二期中] Laughter is often called the best medicine, but according to a new study led by researchers from Pennsylvania State University, it could also serve as an effective parenting tool. “Humour can teach people cognitive (认知的) flexibility, relieve stress, and promote creative problem solving and resilience,” noted Benjamin Levi, the senior author of the study. The researchers surveyed 312 individuals aged 18 to 45. More than half reported being raised by caregivers who used humour, and 71.8% agreed that humour can be an effective parenting tool. The majority also said they either use or plan to use humour with their children and believe it has more potential benefits than drawbacks. The researchers also found that among those who reported that their parents used humour, 50.5% said they had a good relationship with their parents, and 44.2% felt their parents did a good job raising them. On the contrary, among those whose parents didn’t use humour, only 2.9% reported having a good relationship with their parents, and just 3.6% believed their parents had done a good job. According to the study’s first author Lucy Emery, both business and parenting are hierarchical (等级制的). “In business, humour is shown to help reduce hierarchies, create better environments for collaboration and creativity, and relieve tension,” she said, noting that while parent-child relationships are more loving than business relationships, stressful situations are common in parenting. “Humour can help reduce that tension and hierarchy, making both parties feel better about stressful situations.” The study authors noted that if these findings are generalizable, they potentially open the door to a much deeper exploration of how “parenting humour” can be appropriately applied to enhancing the experiences of both children and their parents. “To that end, we should examine how parents currently use different kinds of humour, and how to map these uses of humour onto existing knowledge and theory,” Levi said. (　)5.What’s the purpose of the new study? A.To prove strict parenting is outdated. B.To measure different people’s sense of humour. C.To explore humour’s role in parenting.

For the first week or so, I was so uncomfortable that I did nothing but sleep. As I started feeling better, I wanted to keep engaged. I read too quickly for my mum to keep me in books and wasn’t really interested in television either, so my mum was desperate. One day, she accidentally hit on one of the most popular trends of the time: making bead(珠子)animals. She bought me a lot of silk thread, a big bag of beads in every colour of the rainbow, and a book that taught me how to make all different types of animals. I got the hang of it quickly, and enjoyed making bead animals, such as snakes, rabbits and turtles. One morning, one of the nurses came in, saw me working on a beaded keychain, and praised it warmly as cute. She was one of my favourite nurses, so I offered her one, and she quickly attached the keychain to her ID badge. An elder nurse asked for one, so I gave her one, too, and then my doctor…and then it seemed like everyone wanted one! I started spending most of my time making them. My mother felt bad that it was turning from a hobby into a burden, but I truly enjoyed it and wanted to make something for everybody who’d been so nice to me when I was sick. The nurses proudly wore them on their badges, which not only made me smile but also made the other patients smile. Joy was brought into the wards, making us more cheerful. The head nurse also received such a gift and she appreciated it so much. She told me the children in other wards kept asking her where she got it. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 Paragraph 1: Her words reminded me that I could do something.             Paragraph 2: The day came for me to give gifts to the children in the wards.             学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
