Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Attention from strangers is nothing new to me.Questions about my height are the center of almost every public interaction.My friends say my height is just a physical quality and not a personality aspect.However, when I reflect on my life, I realize that my height has shaped my character in many ways and has helped to make me who I am.
I learned how to be kind.When I was younger, some parents in my neighborhood regarded me as kind of dangerous because I was so much larger than other children of my age.I had to be extra welcoming and gentle simply to play with other children.Of course, now my coaches wish I weren't quite so kind on the basketball court.
I learned the quality of not being too proud of myself.At 7 feet tall, everyone expects me to be an amazing basketball player.They come to see Dirk Nowitzki, and instead they might see a performance more like Will Ferrell (successfully starred a professional basketball player)．I have learned to be modest and to work even harder than my fellows to meet their (and my) expectations.
I developed a sense of lightheartedness.When people playfully make fun of my height, I laugh at myself too.On my first day of high school, a girl dropped her books in a busy hallway.I got down to her level and gathered some of her books.As we both stood up, her eyes widened as I kept rising over her.Astonished, she dropped her books again.Embarrassed，we both laughed and picked up the books a second time.
All of these lessons have defined me.Looking back, I realize that through years of such experiences, I have become a confident, expressive person.Being a 7-ooter is both a blessing and a curse (诅咒), but in the end, accepting who you are is the first step to happiness.

2．When he was young, the author intended to be more friendly just to .
A．gain extra favor
B．play with other children
C．prove his kindness
D．please his coach
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I had to be extra welcoming and gentle simply to play with other children.”可知，当作者小的时候，为了能够和其他孩子一起玩耍，就要表现得更加友好，这样其他孩子才不会因为他的身高而不和他一起玩。

A．Dirk Nowitzki was an awful basketball player.
B．The author seldom disappointed his basketball fans.
C．The author expected to make something better of himself.
D．Will Ferrell was better at playing basketball than Dirk Nowitzki.

A 33-year-old hospital security guard in Ottawa, Janelle Niles is making her childhood dream come true by moonlighting (兼职) as a stand-up comic (喜剧演员)．
But she was unhappy and unsatisfied to be the only Indigenous (土著的) comic on the bill most nights — and it didn't take long for her to grow tired of being the “token (象征性的) one”．Niles loved the comedian Kenny Robinson's long-running, all-Black Yuk Yuk's Toronto set, “Nubian Show”， and wondered, “Well, where's ours？”
Then she gave her all-Indigenous show a name.“Got Land？” is a nod to the Land Back movement.And Niles found some actors to make Indigenous comics, such as Don Kelly of APTN's “Fish Out of Water”．Last September, Niles stood up inside Eddy's Diner, an Ottawa diner, and welcomed the people to her show.The night sold out: she had to turn people away at the door.
Melissa Lambert-Tenasco attended the first show and is now a big fan.“Laughter is big in our communities，” she says, “and it was really nice to laugh with a group of Native people.” And while the show is “for our people, with our people，” Niles also wants “Got Land？” to help increase Canadians' general knowledge about Indigenous culture.“It's a safe environment for us not only to get along with each other, exchange laughs and get some knowledge，” she says, “but also to tell some unpleasant truths.”
Niles says her next step is to bring Indigenous comedy into the mainstream.She wants to see Indigenous comedians share the stage next to big stars like Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr.Her own comedy dream is to be featured on “Just for Laughs”．“With ‘Got Land？’， I'm trying to pull everyone together，” says Niles.“As I make my way through comedy, I want to bring everyone with me.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了33岁的医院保安奈尔斯在兼职当一名单口喜剧演员之后，自己创作了喜剧节目“拥有土地？”，受到了土著人群的欢迎，接下来她准备把土著喜剧带入主流，让更多的人享受其中的快乐。
4．Why did Niles decide to create “Got Land？”？
A．She loved Kenny Robinson's show.
B．Indigenous comics were treated badly.
C．She wanted to be as funny as possible.
D．There was no well-known Indigenous show.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第二句和第三段前两句可推知，当奈尔斯看到喜剧节目“Nubian Show”的成功后意识到关于土著的喜剧节目少之又少，于是决定自己创作喜剧节目“Got Land？”。
√
5．How was Niles' show at Eddy's Diner last September
A．It was a big success.
B．It did not draw much attention.
C．It was not accepted by the public.
D．It was mostly popular among white people.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“The night sold out: she had to turn people away at the door.”可知，这个表演很成功，吸引了很多人。
√
6．What does Melissa think of “Got Land？”？
A．It fails to bring people laughter.
B．It warns people of upcoming dangers.
C．It helps to connect the Indigenous people.
D．It needs more support from communities.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段前两句可知，梅利莎认同这个节目，和一群土著人一起看表演、一起笑，说明这个节目有凝聚力，有助于把土著人团结起来。
7．What will Niles do in the future
A．Turn Indigenous artists into great comics.
B．Introduce Indigenous comedy to the public.
C．Increase her influence in Indigenous communities.
D．Invite other famous Indigenous comedians to join her.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Niles says her next step is to bring Indigenous comedy into the mainstream.”可知，奈尔斯将会把土著喜剧带入主流，推向大众。

Over the years working as a psychologist, I have found that the following habits seem to be the most important for developing a happier, healthier mind.
8
By nature, most of us are critical of our emotions — especially the difficult ones: You feel anxious and afraid and then immediately criticize yourself for being weak.Though something feels bad, it doesn't mean it is bad. 9 When your muscles are painful after a good workout, your pain is a sign of growth and health.Sometimes pain is helpful.By avoiding it or trying to get rid of it, you could be making things worse on yourself.
Be realistic with your expectations.
When you create an expectation in your head — which is really just you imagining the thing you want to be true — it relieves some of that anxiety and uncertainty for the time being.But in reality, your expectations are merely fictions in your own mind.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作为一名心理学家，作者提出了几点保持快乐、健康心态的方法。
8．选A 空处是段落小标题。本段“By nature ...immediately criticize yourself for being weak.”讲了否定消极情绪，后文又讲了某些消极情绪也会有积极的影响。因此A项(承认你的情绪)能概括本段的主旨，适合作段落标题。
9．选D 根据下句可知，疼痛并不是坏事。因此D项(在生活中许多情况下，疼痛实际上是件好事)衔接下文，符合语境。
10．选F 根据下句可知，要时常保持期望和现实接近，否则就会产生不好的结果。因此F项(如果期望被忽略，它们就可能疯狂发展，带来消极影响)衔接下文，符合语境。
11．选C 根据下句可知，过于挑剔自己会带来很强烈的情绪。因此C项(消极的自言自语会使你的情绪变得更糟糕)符合语境，其中self-talk是原词复现。
12．选E 上文提到对待自己的不良情绪要遵循另一条黄金法则；下文提到想象你的朋友有相同的问题，你会给他什么建议。因此E项(对待你自己就像你对待一个好朋友)承上启下，符合语境，其中friend是原词复现。UNIT 4 课时检测(九) Reading Club (自修课)

A
Attention from strangers is nothing new to me.Questions about my height are the center of almost every public interaction.My friends say my height is just a physical quality and not a personality aspect.However, when I reflect on my life, I realize that my height has shaped my character in many ways and has helped to make me who I am.
I learned how to be kind.When I was younger, some parents in my neighborhood regarded me as kind of dangerous because I was so much larger than other children of my age.I had to be extra welcoming and gentle simply to play with other children.Of course, now my coaches wish I weren't quite so kind on the basketball court.
I learned the quality of not being too proud of myself.At 7 feet tall, everyone expects me to be an amazing basketball player.They come to see Dirk Nowitzki, and instead they might see a performance more like Will Ferrell (successfully starred a professional basketball player)．I have learned to be modest and to work even harder than my fellows to meet their (and my) expectations.
I developed a sense of lightheartedness.When people playfully make fun of my height, I laugh at myself too.On my first day of high school, a girl dropped her books in a busy hallway.I got down to her level and gathered some of her books.As we both stood up, her eyes widened as I kept rising over her.Astonished, she dropped her books again.Embarrassed，we both laughed and picked up the books a second time.
All of these lessons have defined me.Looking back, I realize that through years of such experiences, I have become a confident, expressive person.Being a 7 footer is both a blessing and a curse (诅咒), but in the end, accepting who you are is the first step to happiness.

A 33 year old hospital security guard in Ottawa, Janelle Niles is making her childhood dream come true by moonlighting (兼职) as a stand up comic (喜剧演员)．
But she was unhappy and unsatisfied to be the only Indigenous (土著的) comic on the bill most nights — and it didn't take long for her to grow tired of being the “token (象征性的) one”．Niles loved the comedian Kenny Robinson's long running, all Black Yuk Yuk's Toronto set, “Nubian Show”， and wondered, “Well, where's ours？”
Then she gave her all Indigenous show a name.“Got Land？” is a nod to the Land Back movement.And Niles found some actors to make Indigenous comics, such as Don Kelly of APTN's “Fish Out of Water”．Last September, Niles stood up inside Eddy's Diner, an Ottawa diner, and welcomed the people to her show.The night sold out: she had to turn people away at the door.
Melissa Lambert Tenasco attended the first show and is now a big fan.“Laughter is big in our communities，” she says, “and it was really nice to laugh with a group of Native people.” And while the show is “for our people, with our people，” Niles also wants “Got Land？” to help increase Canadians' general knowledge about Indigenous culture.“It's a safe environment for us not only to get along with each other, exchange laughs and get some knowledge，” she says, “but also to tell some unpleasant truths.”
Niles says her next step is to bring Indigenous comedy into the mainstream.She wants to see Indigenous comedians share the stage next to big stars like Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr.Her own comedy dream is to be featured on “Just for Laughs”．“With ‘Got Land？’， I'm trying to pull everyone together，” says Niles.“As I make my way through comedy, I want to bring everyone with me.”
4．Why did Niles decide to create “Got Land？”？
A．She loved Kenny Robinson's show.

5．How was Niles' show at Eddy's Diner last September
A．It was a big success.
B．It did not draw much attention.
C．It was not accepted by the public.
D．It was mostly popular among white people.
6．What does Melissa think of “Got Land？”？
A．It fails to bring people laughter.
B．It warns people of upcoming dangers.
C．It helps to connect the Indigenous people.
D．It needs more support from communities.
7．What will Niles do in the future

C．Increase her influence in Indigenous communities.
D．Invite other famous Indigenous comedians to join her.

Over the years working as a psychologist, I have found that the following habits seem to be the most important for developing a happier, healthier mind.
__8__
By nature, most of us are critical of our emotions — especially the difficult ones: You feel anxious and afraid and then immediately criticize yourself for being weak.Though something feels bad, it doesn't mean it is bad.__9__ When your muscles are painful after a good workout, your pain is a sign of growth and health.Sometimes pain is helpful.By avoiding it or trying to get rid of it, you could be making things worse on yourself.
Be realistic with your expectations.
When you create an expectation in your head — which is really just you imagining the thing you want to be true — it relieves some of that anxiety and uncertainty for the time being.But in reality, your expectations are merely fictions in your own mind.
Expectations have their place.__10__ If you want a calmer and more peaceful mind, get into the habit of checking on your expectations regularly and make sure they aren't too far outside of reality.
Practice compassion (同情) in your self talk.
__11__ When you're too negative and particular about yourself, you turn normal embarrassment into intense shame; everyday depression into anger; ordinary sadness into desperation.If you want to start being kinder toward yourself, follow the other Golden Rule：__12__ The next time you feel bad, imagine that a good friend felt the same way and came to you for support and advice ...What would you say to them
A．Acknowledge your emotions.
B．Try to avoid painful emotions.
C．Negative self talk worsens your emotions.
D．In much of life, pain is actually a good thing.
E．Treat yourself like you would treat a good friend.
F．But they may run wild and cause negative effects if ignored.
G．They teach your brain that your emotions are bad and dangerous.
