Our school organised a campus chorus contest on Wednesday afternoon, the theme of which is “Love Our Motherland”. As scheduled, the contest took place in the school hall, lasting two hours from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
Twenty groups took part in the activity, in the meantime we sang songs about the beauty of our motherland with enthusiasm, expressing our pride in our great mother’s achievements in all aspects in our songs. Fortunately, my class eventually won the first place in the fierce competition.
The activity is of great significance. First of all, I really experienced a feast for the eyes and ears. Besides, it provided us with a platform to explore our country for its culture, its long history and great achievements.Period Six Writing Workshop & Other parts

You can also make an effort to be funny on the job, but when you are working…”可知,应在休息时开玩笑,而非在工作中,因此,工作时应比平时少说笑话,D项与thinly意思相近。故选D项。

I had fast-tracked treatment at the Maudsley Hospital and went through 2.5 years of treatment. People are always interested to know what helped me recover. Actually, it was simple: comedy.”可知,作者提及厌食症经历是为了表明是喜剧治愈了他的神经性厌食,即介绍了一种心理疾病的治疗方式,故选B。
6. C 细节理解题。根据第三段“One of the things that initially held my attention about talk show is how it plays with pain. Humour became a way of understanding things, and then a way of explaining them. Now it’s become a way of helping other people.”可知,喜剧最初吸引作者是因为它能对抗痛苦,故选C。
7. C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So, I want to pay that forward and show other people that your mental health doesn’t have to be ‘broken’ before you can ‘fix it’.”可知,作者想把它继续传递下去,让他人知道心理健康可以在“崩溃”之前就进行“修复”,故选C。
8. D 主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第二段中“People are always interested to know what helped me recover. Actually, it was simple: comedy.”可知,文章主要讲述了作者通过脱口秀治愈了自己的神经性厌食,说明了脱口秀是治疗心理健康问题的有效方式。故D项“脱口秀——修复心理健康的有效方法”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。
Ⅴ. 【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国人的幽默感不同于其他国家,他们的幽默感通常比较消极。最近的一项调查发现,大多数到英国旅游的外国人意识到,英国人“太骄傲”,不友好,并且几乎没有幽默感,但McKinstry认为英国人很有趣。

3. making 考查非谓语动词。when it comes to…意为“说到……;当提到……”,to是介词,其后跟动名词作宾语。故填making。
4. more effective 考查形容词比较级。根据句意和than可知,应用形容词比较级more effective。故填more effective。
5. While/Although/Though 考查让步状语从句。根据句意可知,“大多数英国人并不把这些笑话当回事”和“外国人却常常对此感到困惑”之间有转折关系,应用从属连词while/although/though引导让步状语从句;单词位于句首,首字母应大写。故填While/Although/Though。
6. seriously 考查副词。空处修饰动词take,应用副词seriously作状语,意为“严肃地,认真地”;take sth seriously意为“认真对待某事”。故填seriously。
7. who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空格处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词most foreigners,指人,在定语从句中作主语,应用关系代词who或者that引导该从句。故填who/that。

Humour brightens life
As is known to all, humour is of great significance to our life. Without it, many things in our lives would lose their colour.
When I first came to the school, I was a little nervous. Fortunately, my humour helped me quickly integrate into the new environment and get along well with my classmates. So I think humour is something that we can’t attach enough importance to.
Light up your every day with humour, which will open the door to a new world for you!

【详解】
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“渐渐地,Alessandro把他的花园变成了一个更大的花园。”可知,第一段可以描写Alessandro的花园在被分享到社交平台上后大受欢迎。
②由第二段首句内容“受网上视频大受欢迎的启发,Alessandro开始写园艺方面的书。”可知,第二段可以描写Alessandro通过视频和书籍传播自然意识,并将自己的爱好变成了职业。
2. 续写线索:享受种植过程—在社交平台上分享—大受欢迎—写书—从事园艺相关工作—帮助别人—喜欢现在的生活
One possible version:
Gradually, Alessandro turned his garden into a much bigger one. There were lots of different plants and great biodiversity. Alessandro really enjoyed the process of starting with a seed to harvesting his own food. Meanwhile, he would share videos of his garden, farming processes and dishes made from the produce harvested from his garden on his social media platforms. To his surprise, these videos interested many people hoping to get close to nature and have healthy and safe food. Soon, he got tens of thousands of followers on his social media platforms.

Feeling good and having humour in our lives can do wonders for our position and productivity, which means that there is definitely a place for some humour on the job. Having a smiling face will help your co-workers and supervisors feel better around you, and you may well end up harvesting rewards by laughing more in the workplace. But you need to know how to apply humour to your work environment.
One of the main rules with humour in the workplace is to avoid argument when you are joking about the job. Stay well away from joking about political affairs, race and religion. Never make fun of other people within your organization, as you are trying to win friends with the people you work with, and not set against them. If you can’t help yourself, please be extremely careful.
Making jokes about the ups and downs of your trade is a safe way to the place of work. You will have the benefit of knowing exactly what your co-workers have to face each day, and it’s much better as it helps to let go of tensions and lower stress levels by getting them to chuckle (低声轻笑) about the situations they come across frequently.
The very best time for some humour is when you are not working, but still in the region of the people you work with, such as a coffee or lunch break. You can also make an effort to be funny on the job, but when you are working, it’s a good idea to use jokes much more thinly than you would normally do.
In general, humour in the workplace is a superb way to flex your creative muscles and be a great help to your job.
( )1. Which of the following best describes the function of humour in the workplace
A. Special. B. Convincing.
C. Rewarding. D. Ordinary.
( )2. What topic is safe to joke about at work
A. Politics. B. Work.
C. Race. D. Religion.
( )3. What does the underlined word “thinly” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Humorously. B. Secretly.
C. Directly. D. Infrequently.
( )4. What is the best title for the text
A. Views on making friends at work
B. Ways of making humour at work
C. Benefits of being humorous at work
D. Attitudes towards making humour at work

When I was a teenager, I knew nothing about mental health and I didn’t care about mental health. Why would I Like my dad always used to say, “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it!”
But, unfortunately my mental health did “break”. Aged 17 I developed anorexia (神经性厌食). I didn’t realise at the time. When I was 23, I was found severely clinically anorexic. I had fast-tracked treatment at the Maudsley Hospital and went through 2.5 years of treatment. People are always interested to know what helped me recover. Actually, it was simple: comedy.
I’m a professional talk show edy, for me, began as a hobby and has unbelievably progressed into a job. One of the things that initially held my attention about talk show is how it plays with pain. Humour became a way of understanding things, and then a way of explaining them. Now it’s become a way of helping other people.
The combination of being told to speak out about mental health and writing comedies to play jokes on myself, actually turned into the best type of treatment I could ever have had. Nothing has ever really helped normalise a thought or feeling quite like a joke that makes people openly say, “Me too!”
That’s why I’ve come up with a six-week comedy course aimed at people with mental health difficulties. It builds lasting friendships, fights against loneliness and normalises conversations around mental health; when audiences are laughing, they have to be listening, and when they’re listening, they can learn. This unique opportunity enables comedy to reach people in a completely different way to all the sob stories, shocking statistics and dry documentaries (纪录片) about mental illness, inspiring positivity rather than turning to negativity.
The talk show was a must to my recovery. So, I want to pay that forward and show other people that your mental health doesn’t have to be “broken” before you can “fix it”.
( )5. Why is “anorexia” experience mentioned in the passage
A. To provide exact examples about mental health.
B. To introduce a kind of treatment for mental health.
C. To stress the importance of caring about mental health.
D. To make a comparison between these two times of feelings.
( )6. Why does comedy attract the author most at the very beginning
A. It helps others.
B. It spreads humour.
C. It deals with pain.
D. It serves as a hobby.
( )7. What can we learn from the story
A. The author is an active and ambitious person.
B. Comedy plays an important part in people’s life.
C. The author will pass on comedy to help others.
D. A six-week course is open to help the disabled.
( )8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. My life is full of talk shows
B. Mental health should be fixed earlier
C. Humorous lifestyle—a key to curing ourselves
D. The talk show—an efficient way to fix mental health

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。
Alessandro Vitale was born in Verona, Italy. As his parents were busy working, they were unable to care for his sister and him at the same time. Therefore, Alessandro grew up with his grandparents.
Alessandro’s grandmother was good at cooking. His grandfather used to take him out for fishing or to his garden in the town. Alessandro’s grandparents greatly influenced him, and he learned many things from them. At a young age, he was introduced to gardening, especially growing fruit and vegetables by his grandfather, and he learned great recipes from his grandmother.
Even though Alessandro got into gardening at a young age, he had to focus on school later. In 2015, he moved to London to work there and left gardening aside. Alessandro did several different jobs after getting there, but he liked none of them really.
One day after working in London for a few months, Alessandro and his roommate went to a supermarket and bought some vegetables. After returning home, they started cooking together. When cutting a red chilli (辣椒), Alessandro saw its seeds. An idea occurred to him that he could grow food himself. He had little connection with nature then and thought the food grown by himself was much healthier. Moreover, he wanted to take up gardening in memory of his grandfather. But he had never expected his future gardening journey would greatly influence his life and career.
Alessandro planted these seeds in pots on his small balcony. In just a few weeks, Alessandro scaled up his garden and grew more plants. His whole space was filled with plants. He fell in love with gardening and did anything he could to make his garden thrive (旺盛), such as reading various farming books to learn new technologies and skills. Besides gardening, he was also into zero-waste cooking. Thanks to his grandmother’s recipes, he could cook his garden produce in creative ways.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Gradually, Alessandro turned his garden into a much bigger one.
Paragraph 2:
Inspired by the popularity of his videos online, Alessandro began to write books on gardening.

One possible version:
Our school organised a campus chorus contest on Wednesday
afternoon, the theme of which is “Love Our Motherland”. As
scheduled, the contest took place in the school hall, lasting two
hours from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
Twenty groups took part in the activity, in the meantime we
sang songs about the beauty of our motherland with enthusiasm,
expressing our pride in our great mother's achievements in all
aspects in our songs. Fortunately, my class eventually won the first
place in the fierce competition.
The activity is of great significance. First of all, I really
experienced a feast for the eyes and ears. Besides, it provided us
with a platform to explore our country for its culture, its long
history and great achievements.
