Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch, and Bill is going on and on about computer technology.“If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V?32 instead of a V?8, and it would have a top speed of 10，000 miles per hour，” says Gates.“Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50. Why haven't you guys kept up？”
The president of GM smiles and says，“Because the federal government won't let us build cars that crash four times a day.”
Why is that funny (or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17 times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, sitcoms and comedians are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good. For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.
Laughter is a great thing—that's why we've all heard the saying，“Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. In this article, we'll look at laughter—what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier. You'll also learn that there's a tremendous amount that no one understands yet.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇文章的引言。作者通过比尔·盖茨和通用汽车公司总裁的幽默谈话向我们讲述了“笑”的作用：可以促进我们的身体健康，增强抵抗疾病的能力。
1．What's the best title of the passage?
A．Laughter
B．The joke between Gates and the president of General Motors
C．Why do we laugh?
D．Laughter and health
解析：选D 标题归纳题。综观全文可以看出，文章通过一个幽默谈话引出了“笑”的作用：可以增进我们的身体健康，增强抵抗疾病的能力。
2．Which one is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Computer technology has developed quickly during the past few decades.
B．Automotive technology has developed as fast as computer technology according to Bill Gates.
C．The president of GM thinks it is impossible to build cars worth less than 50 dollars.
D．If cars were less than 50 dollars, a large number of accidents would happen per day.
解析：选B 细节理解题。文章第一段中的“If automotive technology had ... instead of a V?8”用的是虚拟语气，故该句中的描述与事实不符。
3．The underlined word “sitcoms” in Paragraph 3 means “________”．
A．situation comedies B．tragedies
C．body language D．fictions
解析：选A 词义猜测题。该词的意思应和此句前面的“Jokes(笑话)”以及后面的“comedians(喜剧演员)”接近。而“tragedies(悲剧)” “body language(身势语)”“fictions(小说)”均不在此列。故选A。
4．This passage is most probably an_________．
A．introduction of an article about Microsoft
B．introduction of an article about laughter
C．article about laughter
D．introduction of an article about General Motors
解析：选B 推理判断题。由最后一段的后半部分尤其是“In this article, we'll ...”可以看出，该文是一篇文章的引言，用来吸引读者，介绍文章的内容。
B
A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from some sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow?mindedness.
However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph. D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at the world through humor is important.
In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming？Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the masses by unconsciously inputting politics into our mouths. They make politics fun.
Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self?image. On the topic of self?image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”， describing their hit song “Don't Cha” as a negative representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture.
A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.
Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸俗) and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.
Though life may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles (皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.
With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.
【语篇解读】 一种文化的价值能通过其幽默感表现出来。本文作者介绍了自己对幽默的看法，并决定用幽默的态度来面对生活。
5．Hobbes believed that humor ________．
A．was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better
B．resulted in narrow?mindedness of human beings
C．had the power to mirror personal glory and national values
D．was for people to view the world from another angle
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知，Thomas Hobbes不喜欢幽默，并从他的话中“Laughter is nothing ... better than others.”可知，应选择A。
6．What is the author's attitude towards political humor?
A．Worried. B．Disappointed.
C．Curious. D．Appreciative.
解析：选D 观点态度题。根据文章第三段中的“Without humor ... way of lemming？”及“They make politics fun.”可知，作者对于政治幽默持赞赏的态度。appreciative“欣赏的，赏识的”。因此选D。
7．The fourth paragraph is developed mainly ________．
A．by example B．by process
C．by comparison D．by classification
解析：选A 写作手法题。根据文章的第四段的内容可知，作者是通过举例子来支撑自己的观点的，应选择A。
8．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A．Chaplin wasn't aware of being laughed at.
B．The author feels helpless and sad about getting older.
C．Never be the one who laughs at other people.
D．The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据文章的最后两段可知，尽管生活有时候会很艰难，但仍然有连卓别林都没有意识到的幽默，要记得用幽默的态度来面对生活，应选择D。

Ⅰ.七选五
Do You Have a Positive Attitude?
Who would you rather hang around with? Someone who always acts in low spirits? Or someone who manages to see the good around him, even when things aren't always going great？ 1
Having a positive attitude can help you in many ways. 2 Your friends will definitely appreciate you more if you see the silver lining rather than just the dark clouds!
3 The less pressure you feel, the better you will feel overall. So if you've been feeling tired, put on a happy face and you just might feel better soon.
But how can you have a positive attitude when life is hard? It's more than just turning life's lemons into lemonade. 4 But it's worth it.
A positive attitude doesn't mean ignoring life's troubles. It just means looking for the good in things, rather than being a pessimist and concentrating on the bad in things. Sometimes your attitude can make all the difference.
Identify (识别) those areas of your life that might not be going so well. 5 Focus on one at a time and think of ways you can find the positive in things.
A．The answer is to have a positive attitude.
B．Having a positive attitude can take some hard work.
C．They are likely to make you have negative thoughts.
D．Having a positive attitude can also reduce your stress level.
E．If you have a positive attitude, you're more fun to be around.
F．When you feel better physically, you naturally feel better mentally.
G．It's no surprise that people enjoy being around positive people rather than negative people.
【语篇解读】 与那些垂头丧气的人相比，人们更愿意和那些具有积极心态的人在一起。本文论述了积极心态的重要性和拥有积极心态的方法。
1．解析：选G 上文是三个问句：你愿意与什么样的人在一起？是那些总是垂头丧气的人？还是那些总是设法看到事情积极一面的人？因此G项(人们喜欢和积极的人而不是消极的人在一起是意料之中的事)回答了上文提出的三个问题。
2．解析：选E 上一句提到积极的心态可以在很多方面帮到你，因此E项(如果有积极的心态，你就能给身边的人带去更多的快乐)紧承上文，说明了积极心态带给周围的人的好处。
3．解析：选D 上一段讲了积极心态给周围的人带去的好处，下一句提到压力越少，你的整体感觉就越好，因此D项(拥有积极的心态也能减少你的压力)在此承上启下。
4．解析：选B 上一句提到拥有积极的心态不像把柠檬变成柠檬水那样简单，那是需要人的努力的，故B项符合语境。
5．解析：选C 上一句提到要找出生活中不顺的事情，下一句提到一次只专注于一件事，并找到它积极的一面，因此C项(它们可能会使你产生消极的思想)在此承上启下。

Section Ⅲ Grammar
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying“no”， criticizing, and getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it is the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that a serious dialogue may start a riot. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance that people in any other forum.
Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating (升级) into a big deal. Recently a neighbor of mine had a quarrel with his wife as she drove him to the airport. Airborne, he felt miserable, and he knew she did, too. Two hours after she returned home, she received a long?distance phone call. “Person?to?person for Mrs. I. A. Pologize.” intoned the operator.“That's spelled ‘P’ as in ...” In a twinkling (眨眼间), the whole day changed from bad to lovely at both ends of the wire.
As English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests whom she hoped to enlist (赞助) in a major charity drive. Austerity was a fashion in England at the time, and she had asked her children to serve the meal. She knew that anything could happen ... and it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration of a tight rope walker, brought in a large roast turkey; he successfully elbowed the swinging dining?room door, but the back bird dropped onto the dining?room floor.
The boy stood rooted, the guests staring at their plates. Moving only her head the hostess looked at her son，“No harm, Daniel”， she said，“just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen” ... she enunciated (发音) clearly so he would think about what she was saying ...“and bring in the other one.”
A wink and a one?liner instantly changed the dinner from a red?faced embarrassment to a laughter.
【语篇解读】 幽默能使我们有效地应对尴尬的局面。
1．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Humor is the key to success in our work and lives.
B．Humor enables us to deal with difficult situations effectively.
C．Humor is the best way to criticize someone without losing his face.
D．Humor makes fun of any difficult situation.
解析：选B 主旨大意题。从文章结构上分析，作者在首段中就提出了本文的中心论点，而且其后的三段都对中心论点加以说明。首段的第一句又是本段的中心，下面所列出的一些幽默的作用都是具体的方面。故应选B项。
2．Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?
A．Comedians on TV are believed to have done a lot in making people more tolerant (容忍) of racial and religious differences.
B．To make up differences, humor is a most acceptable and effective means.
C．People often turn to humorous ways when meeting with difficult situations because of its effectiveness.
D．Only by adopting the means of humor can one succeed in some jobs.
解析：选C 细节理解题。选项A、D内容分别位于第一段的末句和第三句中，选项B的内容虽然在原文中没有直接出现，但与第一段中所含意思相同。
3．What caused the roast turkey to drop onto the floor?
A．The backward movement of the door.
B．The son's rude behavior.
C．Someone happened to be at the door.
D．The bird raised by the family.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句可知，他成功地用肘部推开了门，但是复位的门却将火鸡打到了地上。故应选A项。
4．What do you think would probably be the result if the hostess got angry and scolded the son?
A．It would make the embarrassing situation worse.
B．The son would refuse to serve the guests any more.
C．The son would talk back and make the mother all the more angry.
D．The guests would leave before the dinner was over.
解析：选A 推理判断题。由最后一段可推知，答案选A。
B
I can still remember it as if it happened yesterday. I was a college freshman and had stayed up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first class of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought.
Boom! I lifted my head immediately and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of the noise. My young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous，boyish smile on his face. He had intentionally dropped the pile of textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning！” he said, still smiling. “I'm glad to see everyone is awake. Now let's get started.”
For the next hour I wasn't sleepy at all. It wasn't from the shock of my professor's textbook alarm clock either. Instead, it was from the attractive discussion he led. With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious (有感染力的). I left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well.
I learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love. What a glorious place this world would be if all of us did our work joyously and well! What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor, teacher, musician, cook, waitress, poet, miner, farmer, and laborer made their work an expression of their love! Don't sleepwalk through your life then. Wake up! Let your love fill your work and your soul. Life is too short not to live it well.
【语篇解读】 本文通过作者大学第一节课的经历告诉我们：无论从事什么职业，我们都应该带着热情和快乐去做好它。
5．What did the author want to do just before his first class of the day?
A．Talk with his friends. B．Take a short sleep.
C．Get his eyes examined. D．Stay away from the class.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后两句“... my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier ... A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought.”可知，作者很困，想在上课前小睡一会儿。故选B项。
6．The underlined word “mischievous” in Paragraph 2 probably means “____”．
A．naughty B．tricky
C．sensitive D．dishonest
解析：选A 词义猜测题。画线词与boyish共同修饰smile，感彩应一致。根据boyish的含义“男孩子气的”可推测，mischievous应表示“调皮的，淘气的”，与naughty意思相近。故选A项。
7．What else did the author learn that day?
A．Students should not sleep in class but respect their teachers.
B．Everyone should love his job and sleepwalk through his life.
C．Life is too limited to make your work an expression of your love.
D．People from all walks of life should do their jobs with joy and love.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love.”和“What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor ... made their work an expression of their love！”可知，作者学到无论你从事什么职业，都应该用充满快乐与爱的心去把工作做好，从而创造一个更美好的世界。故选D项。
8．What can be inferred from this passage?
A．The professor often kept his students sharp by using a textbook alarm.
B．The author was attracted by the professor's great joy and enthusiasm.
C．The author left the two?hour period not only wide awake, but a little smarter.
D．Though the author was frightened awake, he was not clear?headed in the class.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious (有感染力的)．”可知，作者被教授的快乐和热情所吸引。故选B项。
Ⅱ.短文改错
