Ⅰ.閱讀理解
“Funny or die” has a whole new meaning, thanks to a study published in April in a medical journal. Women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer though they were ill, especially for those with heart problems and infections. Happy men seemed to be protected against infection.
The researchers reported the findings from a 15-year study on the connection between the sense of humor and death among 53,556 women and men in their country. The team studied the influence of humor on people s way of thinking, social skills and emotion development, and examined death from different conditions: heart problems, infections and other health problems.
The findings showed that for women, those who had high scores on a humorous way of thinking had a 48 percent less risk of death from all causes, a 73 percent lower risk of death from heart problems and an 83 percent lower risk of death from infection. For men, a connection was found only for the risk of death from infection—those with high humor scores had a 74 percent reduced risk. The researchers suggested the sex differences could be due to a small decrease in humor scores as the men aged. No connection was found for the influence of humor on social skills and emotion development.
“The humorous way of thinking plays an essential part in people s personality(性格)and may influence the way people cope with everyday life,” said co-researcher Sven Svebak. “In this way, it may help reduce fighting in daily life, preventing the build-up of stress.” Although the sense of humor is a natural characteristic(特征), it can also be developed through social activities.
“I expect that children whose parents have no sense of humor when feeling challenges are less likely to develop their sense of humor to cope with everyday life when they grow up,” Sven Svebak said. “But if you had a humorless childhood, never fear—studies show people can learn to be humorous at any age.”
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Humor could benefit people s health.
B.Joyful women can live longer than happy men.
C.Women who seldom laugh may fall ill easily.
D.Humor makes people pay more attention to their health.
2.Why do men have a higher risk of death from infection than women
A.Because men have poor memories as they age.
B.Because men become less humorous as they grow older.
C.Because men have bad sleeping quality as they grow older.
D.Because men take part in fewer social activities as they age.
3.How does the author show the research findings
A.By listing data.　　　B.By giving examples.
C.By stating arguments.　　　D.By making experiments.
4.Which of the following would Sven Svebak agree with
A.Humorless children have an unhappy childhood.
B.Humorless parents can better deal with pressure in life.
C.Humorless children may be humorous when they grow up.
D.Parents with a sense of humor are better at child education.
Ⅱ.七選五
A sense of humor is the ability to sense, observe, and practice humor. Simply, the ability to appreciate a joke is called a sense of humor. A person who can say funny things and can observe the funny side of things is a person with a good sense of humor. 　1　
Share your point of view more.
When answering the question on how to improve humor skills, you cannot be Louis C.K., George Carlin or Richard Pryor. It has to be the original you. Take a moment and think about the funniest people you have met in your life. 　2　 Every person has a different style and opinion when describing an event. So start by sharing your point of view.
The importance of the subject, its target and timing in humor.
You can t be more wrong in a situation if you ignore the subject, its target and its timing. Let s say what happens when you gift an adult magazine to a 6-year-old kid on his birthday. 　3　 However, the narration(敘述) of the same incident 10 years from then would be funny.
　4　
The key to catching the minds of your friends and colleagues is to be familiar with their preferences. Developing a good sense of humor is not just about delivering fancy stuff but also about understanding the perspective of the humor subject.
Want to be humorous Laugh at yourself first.
This is the greatest quality owned by a person with a good sense of humor. If you can laugh at yourself, it means that you have come to terms with your mistakes. 　5　 After all, any embarrassing story turns into a humorous story if given some time.
A.But how do you become one
B.Share other people s funny stories.　　　
C.You ll realize that no one is the same.
D.Be aware of the interest of your listeners.　　　
E.Avoid making fun of others weaknesses.
F.When you share your mistakes, they make you complete.
G.This is not a humorous course of action but a stupid one.

Ⅰ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了幽默感與死亡之間的聯系,幽默感強的人死于各種疾病的風險較低。
1.A　細節理解題。根據第一段中“Women with a strong sense of humor were found to live longer...Happy men seemed to be protected against infection.”可知,幽默可能使人免受疾病感染,即使生病也能活得更長,即幽默有益于人們的健康。故選A。
2.B　細節理解題。根據第三段中“For men, a connection was found only for the risk of death from infection—those with high humor scores had a 74 percent reduced risk. The researchers suggested the sex differences could be due to a small decrease in humor scores as the men aged.”可知,男性感染的死亡風險高于女性是由于隨著年齡的增長,男性的幽默得分略有下降,即男性越老越不幽默。故選B。
3.A　推理判斷題。根據第三段中出現的“48 percent” “73 percent” “83 percent” “74 percent”可推知,作者是通過列舉數據來展示研究結果的。故選A。
4.C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中Sven Svebak說的話“But if you had a humorless childhood, never fear—studies show people can learn to be humorous at any age.(但是,如果你的童年沒有幽默感,不要害怕——研究表明,人們在任何年齡都可以學會幽默。)”可推知,不幽默的小孩有可能在長大后變得幽默。故選C。
【高頻詞匯】　1.infection n.感染;傳染;傳染病　2.score n.分數　3.decrease n.減少,下降　4.cope with對付
5.fear v.害怕
【熟詞生義】　age v.變老,成熟
長難句　原句　“I expect that children whose parents have no sense of humor when feeling challenges are less likely to develop their sense of humor to cope with everyday life when they grow up,” Sven Svebak said.
分析　引號中為直接引語,作said的賓語;whose引導定語從句,修飾先行詞children; “when feeling challenges”為“連詞+分詞”結構,作狀語;不定式短語 “to cope with everyday life”作目的狀語;“when they grow up”為when引導的時間狀語從句。
譯文　Sven Svebak說:“我預計,那些在感受挑戰時沒有幽默感的父母的孩子長大后不太可能培養幽默感來應對日常生活?！?br/>Ⅱ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了如何成為一個有幽默感的人。
1.A　過渡句?？涨熬浣榻B了有幽默感的人是什么樣的,下文介紹了一些成為一個有幽默感的人的方法。A項(但你如何才能成為一個有幽默感的人呢 )承上啟下,符合語境。

3.G　細節句。根據空前句“Let s say what happens when you gift an adult magazine to a 6-year-old kid on his birthday.(讓我們假設當你在一個6歲的孩子生日時送他一本成人雜志會發生什么。)”可知,本空應對這種行為進行評價,這當然是不正確的行為。G項(這不是一個幽默的行動方案,而是一個愚蠢的行動方案。)承接上文,符合語境。
4.D　主旨句。本空為本段小標題。根據“The key to catching the minds of your friends and colleagues is to be familiar with their preferences. (抓住你的朋友和同事的思想的關鍵是熟悉他們的喜好。)”可知,本段主要講的是要注意你的朋友和同事的喜好,也就是他們對什么感興趣,D項(注意你的聽眾的興趣。)概括了本段主要內容,可作為小標題。
5.F　細節句。空前句“If you can laugh at yourself, it means that you have come to terms with your mistakes.”介紹如果你能自嘲就說明你已經接受了自己的錯誤,也就是愿意分享自己的錯誤。F項(當你分享你的錯誤時,它們使你完整。)介紹了分享自己的錯誤的好處,承接上文,符合語境。
