My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasn’t forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnson’s dictionary, Addison’s essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them funny, even at eight o’clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.
My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He asked us to keep journals. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other’s journals. Mine was passed to Joe, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make a joke of and said, “This writing isn’t fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.” Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven away my writing and teaching ever since.
So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or self-defeating.
The passage mainly discusses _____.
A. teaching B. literature C. knowledge D. humor
31. The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.
A. inspiring B. tiring C. funny D. brilliant
32. With his favorite English teacher, the writer found it most amazing that _____.
A. his teacher was very learned
B. his teacher was very humorous
C. few were able to find humor in works by Johnson and others
D. the works by Johnson and Addison were very humorous
33. The English teacher the writer disliked most _____.
A. was not able to make students laugh
B. had no sense of humor
C. didn’t let his students do the grading
D. hurt his students’ feelings

六、七选五
A sense of humor can be a person’s greatest advantage. This skill can help you communicate easily with others, improve your health. And even help deal with difficult situations. 34
Identify the benefits of humor.
A sense of humor allows you to find humor in both positive and negative situations. 35 Besides, it can increase your coping abilities and self-esteem.
36
Being funny means being able to express humor. However, having a sense of humor means having the ability to let go and not take everything so seriously, and being able to laugh at life’s difficulty.
Watch and learn.
You don’t have to be funny to have a sense of humor, or be the one telling all the jokes. If you’re not sure how to laugh or have a sense of humor about things, watch other people. 37 True humor is genuine and reflects your personality.
Accept yourself.
If you want to have a sense of humor, you should accept yourself. 38 Learn to laugh at yourself. Everyone needs to take himself seriously sometimes, but learning to laugh at yourself is a way to self-acceptance. No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes. Keep good humor about your life.
A. Have a sense of humor.
B. However, don’t just copy their humor.

八、短文改错
Maria, a 91-year-old woman, has an unbelievable experience last week. A group of thief broke into her house but took nothing away with themselves. Maria remembered that the windows were broken and all her boxes were opened, and nothing was missing. Instead, she found a handwritten note that was said that “This is to help you get by”. Besides a note there was some money. It seemed that the thieves realized how poor Maria lived and decided not to take something but to help. One policeman who has been working for 40 years was surprising by this event too. Later Maria framed the note receiving from her friendly thieves and used the money buy sweets for her great grandchildren.

八、短文改错
【答案】

4.第四句，去掉was
5.第五句，a改为the
6.第六句，poor改为poorly
7.第六句，something改为anything
8.第七句，surprising改为surprised
9.第八句，receiving改为received
10.第八句，在buy前加to
【解析】本文为记叙文。本文记叙了一群小偷闯进了91岁的老太太玛丽亚家里，感觉她很可怜，决定不拿东西，还留下一张纸条和一些钱。玛丽亚把小偷写的纸条裱框起来，用这些钱为她的曾孙们买糖果。
1.考查时态。根据时间状语last week，可知要用一般过去时，而不是一般现在时，故has改为had。
2.考查名词复数。句thief前被a group of修饰，可知要用复数形式，故把thief改为thieves。
3.考查连词。句意：玛丽亚记得窗户坏了，所有的箱子都打开了，但什么也没有丢。分析前后句的意思可知，前后两句是转折关系，因此把and改为but。
4.考查语态。分析句子可知，句中的名词a handwritten note是先行词，后被一定语从句修饰，而先行词在从句中作主语，它与动词said二者是主动关系，不是被动关系，且要用一般过去时的主动形式，故要去掉was。
5.考查冠词。句意：除了这张纸条外还有一些钱。分析语境可知，此处的note是特指，指上文提及的纸条，要用定冠词the，而不是不定冠词a，故把a改为the。
6.考查副词。分析句子可知，本句中的poor用于修饰动词lived，修饰动词要用副词形式，故把poor改为poorly。
7.考查不定代词。分析语境可知，小偷不拿任何东西（anything），而something为“某事”，故把something改为anything。
8.考查形容词。分析句子可知，本句中的surprising意为“令人惊讶的”，一般用于修饰物，而surprised意为“惊讶的”，一般用于修饰人。本句中是修饰人的，所以要用surprised。故把surprising改为surprised。
9.考查非谓语作定语。分析句子可知，本句中的receiving from her friendly thieves作名词the note的定语。而the note与及物动词receive二者是被动关系，因此要用被动关系，而不是主动关系，因此把receiving改为received。
10.考查动词不定式。句意：用这笔钱为她的曾孙买了糖果。use...to do...为固定搭配，意为“用……做……”，可知，要在buy前加to。
