Rowan Atkinson, a famous British comedian, was born in England on January 6th, 1955.
Graduating from the University of Oxford, Rowan Atkinson is well-known for his role of Mr Bean. While Mr Bean looks a bit silly, he tells people to keep optimistic about life. What impresses me most is his unique style of acting. He shows his humour and makes the audience laugh out loud with rich facial expressions as well as body movements.
Not only did he win many awards for his excellent acting skills, but he was also viewed as another comedy master after Chaplin.

Ⅰ.A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI在创作笑话方面的能力和局限性。
1.C 细节理解题。根据文中的“It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials, as males dominate the field of comedy.”(毫不奇怪,许多笑话在网络材料中来自男性视角,因为男性在喜剧领域占主导地位。)可知,很多在线笑话来自男性视角是因为男性主导喜剧行业。故选C。
2.C 细节理解题。根据文中的“…a good joke in real life can always adjust to the audience’s feedback, which often leads comedians to improvise(即兴创作). This, unfortunately, is beyond the current capabilities of AI.”(……现实生活中的好笑话总能根据观众的反馈进行调整,这常常促使喜剧演员进行即兴创作。而不幸的是,这超出了AI当前的能力。)可知,AI无法通过观众反馈进行即兴创作。故选C。
3.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“…which, however, makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain.”(……然而,这仍然使AI笑话的未来充满不确定性。)可知,作者对AI创作笑话的未来持怀疑态度。故选B。
4.A 主旨大意题。根据“So, can they tell jokes This question was raised when UK comedian Karen Hobbs performed in late June.”(那么,它们会讲笑话吗 这一问题是在英国喜剧演员卡伦·霍布斯于六月底表演时提出的。)可知,文章讨论AI是否能够创作笑话,所以Can jokes be made by AI 较为合适。故选A。
B
【文章大意】 这是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述了作者对于笑和快乐的理解,认为笑是最终的快乐体现形式,快乐可以在各种地方被发现,而且我们可以通过帮助他人或者注意自己的微笑来体验快乐。作者呼吁我们不要害怕表现得愚蠢,因为愚蠢可以帮助我们更好地感受生活中的小事情,从而体验到更多的快乐。
5.D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I am a big laugher. I’ve been told that even in a room of a thousand people, you can always hear me laughing over the crowd. For me, laughter is the ultimate form of embodied joy. And by ‘embodied’, I mean that my whole body is involved when I laugh. On the inside, it’s like a bubbling fountain of joy spilling out all over the place.”(我是一个爱大笑的人。有人告诉我,即使在一间有一千个人的房间里,你也总能听到我的笑声盖过人群。对我来说,笑是具体化快乐的终极形式。我说的“具体化”是指当我笑的时候,我的整个身体都参与其中。在内心深处,它就像一个快乐的喷泉,涌向各处。)可推知,文章开始通过分享作者对快乐的理解,将快乐的话题引入。故选D。
6.C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“A friend moved into a new apartment and needed some help, so I helped him. Afterwards, he was obviously so much happier and at ease. I noticed that playing even a small part in his happiness brought me great joy, and I took a moment to let this feeling of embodied joy in.”(一个朋友搬进了新公寓,需要一些帮助,所以我帮助了他。之后,他显然开心多了,也轻松多了。我注意到,即使在他的幸福中扮演一个很小的角色,也会给我带来巨大的快乐,我花了一点时间让这种具体化快乐的感觉进入内心。)和“When I smile, it makes me want to take a deep breath, and I notice my shoulders and belly relaxing. When I embody caring and loving, it feels great!”(当我微笑的时候,它让我想深呼吸,我注意到我的肩膀和腹部放松了。当我表现出关心和爱的时候,感觉很棒!)可推知,作者通过自己帮助朋友的经历建议我们通过做一些小小的善举来发现快乐。故选C。
7.B 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Sadly, many of us are unaware of joy, or suspicious of it. Maybe you are afraid to open up to joy, or maybe you are so unfamiliar with what joy feels like that you ignore or resist it when it comes knocking.”(可悲的是,我们中的许多人都没有意识到快乐,或者对它持怀疑态度。也许你害怕向快乐敞开心扉,或者也许你对快乐的感觉如此陌生,以至于当它来敲门时,你忽略或抵制它。)可推知,我们中的许多人对快乐不敏感,这可能是我们许多人错过快乐的原因。故选B。
8.A 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Want more joy Don’t be afraid to look silly. Silliness helps us take things less personally. It helps us see the world the way a kid does. When we can find more joy in the small things of everyday life, we can embody happiness, rather than just pursuing it.”(想要更多的快乐 不要害怕看起来很傻。愚蠢可以帮助我们不把事情看得太个人化。它帮助我们用孩子的方式看世界。当我们能在日常生活的小事中找到更多的快乐时,我们就能表现出幸福,而不仅仅是追求幸福。)及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者对于笑和快乐的理解,认为笑是最终的快乐体现形式,快乐可以在生活中被发现,可以通过帮助他人体验快乐,因此A项“生活在于创造快乐”适合做文章的标题。故选A。
Ⅱ.第一节
One possible version:
How to maintain a good mood
As we all know, a good mood is very important for our work and life. To keep a good mood, we should do the following things.
First, we should have a sense of humour. Second, we should take up some good hobbies, which will broaden our horizons and add pleasure to our daily life. 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, we should keep calm and try to overcome difficulties bravely when facing them.
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.

【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

A [2025·辽宁大连高二联考]
It seems you can ask artificial intelligence (AI) programs anything, and they’ll give you an answer back. So, can they tell jokes This question was raised when UK comedian Karen Hobbs performed in late June. Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs delivered jokes written by ChatGPT. The process made her nervous.
Hobbs said that when she asked ChatGPT for a joke, what it provided was a man joking about being impatient with his shopping-obsessed (痴迷于购物的) girlfriend. Even when she asked to switch to the woman’s perspective, the joke still featured a shopping-obsessed girlfriend, just told from the first-person perspective.
It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials, as males dominate the field of comedy. The BBC commented that AI storytelling can only reproduce information that already exists in some form, although it can produce some never-before-seen combinations of ideas.
“One way that AI can tell jokes is to do what any 5-year-old does—repeat a successful joke they have heard or try to make an obvious variation of it,” said Les Carr, a professor of Web science.
Nonetheless, a good joke in real life can always adjust to the audience’s feedback, which often leads comedians to improvise (即兴创作). This, unfortunately, is beyond the current capabilities of AI.
For instance, in improvisation, there is no space for premeditation (预先策划); the comedian must rely only on their instinctive (直觉的) reaction to the audience.
“A well-done stand-up bit can lead the audience through a funny story all the way to a hilarious punchline (令人捧腹的妙语),” Michael Ryan, a student researching AI’s impact on comedy, explained to the BBC.“The whole time the comedian knew exactly where he or she was going with the joke and brought the audience there.”
Research is already ongoing with the goal of giving AI a greater understanding of the world around it, which, however, makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain.
( )1.Why do many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials
A.AI prefers male perspectives.
B.Women don’t like telling jokes.
C.Men control the comedy industry.
D.Men are more humorous than women.
( )2.What is AI unable to do with jokes
A.Repeat jokes. B.Adapt jokes.
C.Improvise jokes. D.Combine jokes.
( )3.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of AI-created jokes
A.Hopeful. B.Doubtful.
C.Uncaring. D.Disapproving.
( )4.What is a suitable title for the passage
A.Can jokes be made by AI
B.Can AI jokes be genuinely funny
C.Can AI change the world
D.Can audiences prefer jokes created by comedians
B [2025·四川阆中中学高二期中]
I am a big laugher. I’ve been told that even in a room of a thousand people, you can always hear me laughing over the crowd. For me, laughter is the ultimate form of embodied joy. And by “embodied”, I mean that my whole body is involved when I laugh. On the inside, it’s like a bubbling fountain of joy spilling out all over the place.
But what is joy, anyway
Life can be terrible, but if you decide to follow the sound of the joy-fountain, you will find joy showing up in all kinds of places: pets playfully bouncing around, kindness, or even in nothingness.
How can joy be found A friend moved into a new apartment and needed some help, so I helped him. Afterwards, he was obviously so much happier and at ease. I noticed that playing even a small part in his happiness brought me great joy, and I took a moment to let this feeling of embodied joy in. We can practise letting joy in by noticing how it feels to smile. Where does your body light up when you smile When I smile, it makes me want to take a deep breath, and I notice my shoulders and belly relaxing. When I embody caring and loving, it feels great!
Sadly, many of us are unaware of joy, or suspicious of it. Maybe you are afraid to open up to joy, or maybe you are so unfamiliar with what joy feels like that you ignore or resist it when it comes knocking. No one, other than you, owns your happiness, but you might unknowingly block feelings or experiences that help you embody joy. The fact is that when you can’t embody joy, you miss out on one of life’s essential vitamins.
Want more joy Don’t be afraid to look silly. Silliness helps us take things less personally. It helps us see the world the way a kid does. When we can find more joy in the small things of everyday life, we can embody happiness, rather than just pursuing it.
( )5.How is the topic of joy introduced at the beginning of the passage
A.By highlighting a joyful experience.
B.By stressing the importance of laughing.
C.By presenting an ultimate form of satisfaction.
D.By sharing the author’s understanding of joy.
( )6.What might be the author’s advice on finding joy
A.Taking a deep breath.
B.Smiling to your friends.
C.Doing small acts of kindness.
D.Reflecting on nothingness.
( )7.What might be the reason for many of us missing joy
A.That many of us refuse it on purpose.
B.That many of us are insensitive to joy.
C.That many of us lack life’s essential vitamins.
D.That many of us are likely to take joy for granted.
( )8.What is the best title of the text
A.Life is the creation of joy
B.A happy man always laughs last
C.People are always unaware of joy
D.Happy people are happy in childhood

I fell seriously ill when I was twelve and I was in hospital for the better part of the summer. 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。

reproduce information that already exists in some form, although
it can produce some never-before-seen combinations of ideas.
“One way that AI can tell jokes is to do what any 5-year-
old does—repeat a successful joke they have heard or try to
make an obvious variation of it,” said Les Carr, a professor of
Web science.
Nonetheless, a good joke in real life can always adjust to
the audience's feedback, which often leads comedians to
improvise (即兴创作). This, unfortunately, is beyond the current
capabilities of AI.

For instance, in improvisation, there is no space for
premeditation (预先策划); the comedian must rely only on their
instinctive (直觉的) reaction to the audience.
“A well-done stand-up bit can lead the audience through a
funny story all the way to a hilarious punchline (令人捧腹的妙
语),” Michael Ryan, a student researching AI's impact on comedy,
explained to the BBC.“The whole time the comedian knew
exactly where he or she was going with the joke and brought
the audience there.”

I am a big laugher. I've been told that even in a room of
a thousand people, you can always hear me laughing over the
crowd. For me, laughter is the ultimate form of embodied joy.
And by “embodied”, I mean that my whole body is involved
when I laugh. On the inside, it's like a bubbling fountain of joy
spilling out all over the place.
But what is joy, anyway

Life can be terrible, but if you decide to follow the sound
of the joy-fountain, you will find joy showing up in all kinds of
places: pets playfully bouncing around, kindness, or even in
nothingness.
How can joy be found A friend moved into a new
apartment and needed some help, so I helped him. Afterwards,
he was obviously so much happier and at ease. I noticed that
playing even a small part in his happiness brought me great joy,
and I took a moment to let this feeling of embodied joy in.

We can practise letting joy in by noticing how it feels to smile.
Where does your body light up when you smile When I smile,
it makes me want to take a deep breath, and I notice my
shoulders and belly relaxing. When I embody caring and loving,
it feels great!
Sadly, many of us are unaware of joy, or suspicious of it.
Maybe you are afraid to open up to joy, or maybe you are so
unfamiliar with what joy feels like that you ignore or resist it
when it comes knocking. No one, other than you, owns your

happiness, but you might unknowingly block feelings or
experiences that help you embody joy. The fact is that when
you can't embody joy, you miss out on one of life's essential
vitamins.
Want more joy Don't be afraid to look silly. Silliness helps
us take things less personally. It helps us see the world the way
a kid does. When we can find more joy in the small things of
everyday life, we can embody happiness, rather than just
pursuing it.

One possible version:
How to maintain a good mood
As we all know, a good mood is very important for our
work and life. To keep a good mood, we should do the
following things.
First, we should have a sense of humour. Second, we
should take up some good hobbies, which will broaden our
horizons and add pleasure to our daily life. 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, we should keep calm and try to overcome difficulties
bravely when facing them.
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 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成
一篇完整的短文。
I fell seriously ill when I was twelve and I was in hospital
for the better part of the summer. 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._______________________________________________________________
One possible version:
Her words reminded me that I could do something. I
realized that my bead animals could bring joy not just to
the nurses but also to the other children in the hospital
(宾语从句). Inspired(过去分词作状语), I decided to create bead
animals for everyone in the ward. I spent hours each day
crafting(现在分词作宾补) dynamic, colourful creatures, from
playful frogs to elegant swans, pouring my heart into each
piece(现在分词短语作状语). My mum helped by gathering
supplies and even called on the staff to spread the word about
my little project.
The day came for me to give gifts to the children in the
wards. Armed with a basket full of bead animals(过去分词短语
作状语), I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as I
entered the playroom(时间状语从句). The children looked up,
with their faces lighting up with curiosity(with复合结构). I
introduced myself and shared my story about making the
keychains. One by one, I handed each child a bead animal,
watching their eyes widen in delight(现在分词短语作状语).
Laughter filled the room as they admired their new
treasures(时间状语从句). In that moment, I realized that my
illness had given me the opportunity to spread happiness
(宾语从句；不定式作后置定语), turning my difficult experience
into something beautiful(现在分词短语作状语).
【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
