A
Kurth Reis of San Francisco, California, has been through many hard times in his life. In 2018, Reis had a serious motorcycle accident and spent time in a hospital. The accident affected him deeply, his body and spirits. He had several medical operations. Reis said he felt like he was “reborn” each time he woke after an operation. Following 88 days in the hospital, Reis was released and felt ready to change his ways.
Lately, he says he just wants to cheer people up by making bubbles(泡泡). You can watch him perform his bubble art for hours at a time around the city s streets and in amusement parks. Sometimes he puts out a glass container called a tip jar. People who watch his show can drop money into it if they want to.
If the weather is good for bubbles, Reis makes a special mixture that can make bubbles the size of a small car. To make his large bubble, he puts a small rope hanging from two long sticks into the bubble mixture. As he removes it, he opens his arms wide and the bubbles begin to form. Once enough air is inside the bubble, he moves his arms back together to set the bubble free. Some people feel it looks like a bubble “ballet”.
While Reis may seem like a bubble-making expert, he only got started in April 2020. Reis can support himself with donations from the audiences. But money is not what stirs him to make bubbles. He feels his art is useful in more important ways. Not long ago, a woman told Reis after a performance that his bubbles had lifted her spirits when her dad died.
Reis can see smiles rise from under the face covers worn by those watching him perform. Children crack a smile and clap their hands. Reis said such reactions make him feel like an essential worker whose job is to spread joy.
“I m just trying to put a smile on somebody s face by doing some bubbles,” said Reis. Such a small act will be remembered by others and warm others.

The concept that you can use humour, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true. However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humour, laughter and play play an important part in keeping you healthy.
Treat the blues with a sense of humour, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is contagious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious(傳染性的)as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.
Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it s for children. Physical play is essential for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While they are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(認知的) ability falling.
Anyway, adding a brand of humour, laughter and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humour, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.
5.What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Playing an important role.　　　B.Keeping people in high spirits.
C.Quickly influencing other people.　　　D.Preventing illness from spreading.
6.What can laughter increase according to the author
A.Cognitive ability.　　　B.Good relationships.
C.A sense of humour.　　　D.Happiness and trust.
7.What does the author think the old should do
A.They should have a good rest.　　　B.They should play like children.
C.They should prevent cognitive ability falling.　　　D.They should take part in physical play.
8.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.Humour, Laughter and Play for Health　　　B.Always Keep Our Body Healthy
C.Have an Active and Happy Life　　　D.Let Our Body and Mind Relax

Ⅱ.1.in　考查介詞。句意:在考試失敗之后,她沒心情慶祝生日。be in no mood to do sth.意為“沒心情做某事”,故本空應用介詞in。
2.moody　考查形容詞。句意:薩拉是一個喜怒無常的青少年,她可以在幾秒鐘內從快樂變得憤怒。本空修飾名詞teenager,故應用形容詞moody作定語,意為“情緒多變的;喜怒無常的”。
3.amusement　考查名詞。句意:觀眾們饒有興致地觀看小丑的表演,他們的笑聲充滿了整個劇院。根據空前介詞with可知,本空應用名詞形式。with amusement意為“饒有興致地,津津有味地”。
4.advertisement　考查名詞。句意:我寫信是為了表達我對貴公司最近在網站上刊登的廣告中的職位的興趣。根據空前的形容詞性物主代詞your和形容詞recent可知,本空應用名詞advertisement,意為“廣告”。
5.entertaining　考查非謂語動詞。句意:朋友們聚集在篝火旁,用有趣的故事和歌曲自娛自樂。句中已有謂語動詞gathered,故此處應用非謂語動詞,動詞entertain與其邏輯主語The friends之間為主動關系,故本空應用現在分詞形式作伴隨狀語,故填entertaining。
易錯歸因　　　本題容易將設空處看作謂語部分,而錯填entertained。注意,本句中沒有并列連詞或從句的連接詞,故本句為簡單句。動詞gathered在句中作謂語,故本空動詞在句中不作謂語,應用非謂語動詞形式。
6.Being　考查非謂語動詞。句意:在任何攝影風格中,在正確的時間和恰當的地點(拍攝)是關鍵的。“　　　(be) at the right place at the right time”在句中作主語,表示抽象意義,故應用動名詞形式。
7.that　考查強調句型。句意:他的經歷表明,重要的是過程中的努力,而不是結果。分析句子可知,that引導賓語從句,作showed的賓語,將that從句中的it was 和設空處去掉,從句意思完整,不缺成分,故從句為強調句型“It is/was+被強調部分+that/who+句子其余部分.”,被強調部分是物,故本空應用that。
Ⅲ.1.because of　2.cheer her up　3.looking through
4.did the trick
Ⅳ.1.made me feel nervous and anxious　2.Looking at the old photos　3.It is failure that teaches us valuable lessons and helps us grow stronger.

Ⅰ.1.wearing　考查現在分詞。句意:當我穿著白大褂走進醫院時,我只是一名普通的醫生。在As引導的時間狀語從句中已有謂語動詞enter,故此處應用非謂語動詞形式。本空在從句中作狀語,動詞wear和主語I之間為主動關系,故本空應用現在分詞形式作伴隨狀語。
2.on　考查介詞。put on意為“穿上,戴上”。
3.studies　考查名詞及其單復數。句意:科學研究表明,笑會產生特殊的化學物質,使人感覺更好,這意味著小丑醫生可以提供幫助。設空處作主語,被形容詞Scientific修飾,故此處應用名詞形式,study意為“研究,調查”時為可數名詞,根據空后的謂語show可知,應用可數名詞的復數形式。
4.which　考查非限制性定語從句。設空處無提示詞,空前有逗號,且逗號前的句子意思完整,不缺成分,逗號后的句子缺少主語,故推測設空處引導非限制性定語從句。先行詞是前面that引導的賓語從句,故應用關系代詞which引導非限制性定語從句。
5.means　考查時態及主謂一致。句意:當一名小丑醫生意味著我可以通過使人們快樂來幫助他們。根據句意可知,本句闡述的是客觀事實,應用一般現在時,且句子主語為動名詞短語,故本空應用動詞的第三人稱單數形式。

1.their　考查代詞。句意:醫務人員正在將其納入他們的護理治療。本空修飾名詞短語care treatments,故應用形容詞性物主代詞their。
2.an　考查冠詞。句意:甚至有一個制訂標準的組織。空后organization為可數名詞單數,此處表示泛指,且organization以元音音素開頭,故應用不定冠詞an。

4.who　考查非限制性定語從句。句意為“它說:‘通過幽默進行接觸的醫療小丑,為患有疾病或有特殊需要的兒童和一些成年人帶來了快樂的時刻。’”本空引導非限制性定語從句,修飾先行詞Healthcare clowns,本空在從句中作主語,指人,故應用關系代詞who。

Ⅲ. A
◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了Kurth Reis因為車禍住院,出院后決定改變自己。他通過泡泡表演給人們帶來了快樂,振奮人們的精神。
1.B　細節理解題。根據第一段中“Following 88 days in the hospital, Reis was released and felt ready to change his ways.”可知,Reis住院88天后出院,已經準備好改變自己的生活方式,即他打算做一些不同的事情。故選B項。
2.A　細節理解題。根據第二段中“Sometimes he puts out a glass container called a tip jar. People who watch his show can drop money into it if they want to.”可知,觀看他表演的人如果愿意就可以把小費投入一個玻璃容器中。故選A項。
3.D　詞義猜測題。根據第四段中“Reis can support himself with donations from the audiences.(Reis可以通過觀看他表演的人群的捐款來養活自己。)”以及“He feels his art is useful...lifted her spirits when her dad died.(他覺得他的藝術在更重要的方面是有用的。不久前,一位女士在一次演出后告訴Reis,當她父親去世時,他的泡泡振奮了她的精神。)”可推知,雖然Reis通過泡泡表演可以賺錢,但賺錢并不是激勵他進行泡泡表演的東西,還有其他的東西促使他進行泡泡表演。由此推斷畫線詞意為“促使,激勵”,故選D項。enable使能夠;determine查明,決定;require要求。
4.D　推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段中“Reis can see smiles rise from under the face covers worn by those watching him perform. Children crack a smile and clap their hands.”和最后一段中“Such a small act will be remembered by others and warm others.”可推知,雖然Reis 的表演是微不足道的,但是可以使觀看表演的人快樂,小小的泡泡表演產生了巨大的影響。故選D項。
【高頻詞匯】　1.release v.釋放,放出　2.at a time一次
3.tip n.小費　4.mixture n.混合物　5.remove v.移除,拿走　6.set sth. free釋放某物,使某物獲得自由
7.donation n.捐贈,捐款　8.lift one s spirits振奮某人的精神　9.clap one s hands拍手,鼓掌　10.reaction n.反應
B
◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。你可以用幽默、笑聲和游戲來使自己更健康的想法似乎太簡單了,不可能是真的。然而,這確實是真實和簡單的。
5.C　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞后文“Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling When laughter is shared...as laughter is.(你是否曾經聽到小孩子的大笑,卻能忍住不笑 當人們之間分享笑聲時,它使他們彼此更親近,增加他們的幸福感。微笑是笑聲的開始,微笑和笑聲一樣具有感染力。)”可知,笑具有感染力,畫線詞“contagious”意為“傳染性的,有感染力的”,即能迅速影響他人。故選C項。
6.B　細節理解題。根據第二段中“When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness.”可知,笑能使人們彼此更親近,即能增進人際關系。故選B項。
易錯歸因　
A項 根據第三段中“physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive ability falling”可知,體育鍛煉在防止認知能力下降方面確實起到了一定的作用,A項(認知能力)是physical play帶來的,而不是本題題干中laughter帶來的,A項張冠李戴,故排除A項。
C項 根據第二段中“Treat the blues with a sense of humour, which is closely tied to laughter.”可知,幽默感帶來笑聲,C項(笑聲增加幽默感)為因果關系顛倒,故排除C項。
D項 D項中trust在原文中沒有提及,為主觀臆造,故排除D項。
7.D　推理判斷題。根據第三段中“However, what we often forget is that...helps prevent illness.(然而,我們經常忘記的是,對于老年人來說,讓游戲成為他們生活的一部分和成為孩子生活的一部分一樣重要。體力游戲對老年人很重要,它當然有助于預防疾病。)”可知,游戲對老年人有很多好處,由此推知老年人應該參加體力游戲。故選D項。
8.A　主旨大意題。
Para. 1 幽默、笑聲和游戲在保持健康方面起著重要作用。
Para. 2 幽默和笑聲使人們更親近,增加幸福感,并可傳播。
Para. 3 游戲對老年人的健康至關重要,幫助預防疾病和認知能力衰退。
Para. 4 幽默、笑聲和游戲對增強心理、身體和社交都有利。
結合各段段意并根據第一段中“The sense of humour, laughter and play play an important part in keeping you healthy.(幽默感、笑聲和游戲在保持健康方面起著重要作用。)”可知,本文介紹了幽默、笑聲和游戲對健康的重要性,A項為最佳標題。
【高頻詞匯】　1.play an important part in 在……中起著重要的作用　2.keep sb. from doing sth.阻止某人做某事　3.benefit n.好處,益處　4.anyway adv.(轉換話題、結束談話或回到原話題時說)無論如何;反正
5.mentally adv.精神上,思想上　6.advantage n.好處,優勢
【熟詞生義】　blue n.錯誤,失誤
長難句　原句　The concept that you can use humour, laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems too simple to be true.
分析　本句為主從復合句。that引導同位語從句,作名詞concept的同位語;“too simple to be true”為“too+形容詞+to do...”結構,意為“太……而不能做……”。
譯文　你可以用幽默、笑聲和游戲來讓自己更健康的概念可能看起來太簡單了,不可能是真的。
