19、ngly，his sense of humor.As far as I can tell，hes the first American President to have one.Thats because the term “sense of humor”really wasnt in common usage until the eighteensixties and seventies. In the eighteenforties and fifties，it was called “the sense of the ridiculous”，and didnt have the pos

20、itive connotations (隐含意义) that “sense of humor”has today.Back then，what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule (讥笑)Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand. Of course，they still do a lot of arminarm walking in our day as well.Lincolns humor was very different because，for one thing，it was actually “

21、humor”as what the word meant in his time.We dont make the distinction between “wit(风趣)” and “humor” any more；but in the nineteenth century people did.Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic.Its the difference we note now when we distinguish between “laughing with”an

22、d“laughing at”Lincoln was much more about “laughing with”than “laughing at”And when“laughing at”， it was often himself he was teasing.In the famous LincolnDouglas debates，when Douglas accused Lincoln of being twofaced，Lincoln replied，referencing his plain looking，“Honestly，if I were twofaced，would I

23、 be showing you this one？” And，in a way，Lincolns face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians，soldiers，and the like from Lincolns time and not find a single smile.True，the long exposures(曝光) required for photographs of that time made

24、 smiling difficult.Yet Lincoln alone，as far as I can tell，overcame that difficulty.Interestingly，while having a sense of humor，or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time，in the nineteenth century，too much h

25、umor was considered a problem.And that was the case for Lincoln.A journalist covering the LincolnDouglas debates commented that “I could not take a real personal liking to the man，owing to an inborn weakness.that he was extremely fond of jokes，anecdotes and stories.”【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了林肯的幽默。8We can infer

26、from Paragraph 2 that Athe American President could influence the use of EnglishBthe term “sense of humor”wasnt invented until the 1860sCwhat is funny to someone might be offensive to someone elseDthe concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of timeC段落大意题。根据第二段可推知，对一些人来说是幽默，而对另外一些人来说可能就

27、是冒犯。9The underlined words “this one”in Paragraph 4 refer to “ ”ALincolns unattractive faceBLincolns sense of humorCthe debate they were havingDcruelty that went with funninessA词义猜测题。根据第四段画线部分所在句和后面的“And，in a way，Lincolns face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.”可知，画线词指的是林肯那张不吸引人的脸。故选A项。10

28、We rarely see people from Lincolns time wear smile in their photos because Abeing humorous was considered inappropriateBthey found it quite funny to smile before the cameraCnot smiling for photographs was the fashionDphotography technology then was not advancedD细节理解题。根据第六段第一句“True，the long exposures

29、(曝光)required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult.”可知，是因为拍照技术不先进，故选D项。11What might the writer think of the journalist covering the LincolnDouglas debates?AHis comment accurately reflected his time.BHe created a false picture of Lincoln.CHe was prejudiced and selfcentered.DHe was brave

30、 to point out Lincolns weakness.A推理判断题。根据最后一段首句中的“in the nineteenth century，too much humor was considered a problem”可知，那个记者的评论是对他那个时代的情况的反映。故选A。DIf you tell a woman a joke and get a blank look，dont immediately despair.Shes just taking her time to understand it.But if the joke does eventually make he

31、r laugh it will be worth the wait.Scientists have found that while women are slower than men at getting jokes，they enjoy them more.Research shows that women use their brain more than men to process quips(妙语) and have less expectation that they will be funny.When a joke does hit the right note，howeve

32、r，they derive(得到) more pleasure from it.Scientists asked ten men and ten women to look at dozens of black and white cartoons and rate them on a“funniness scale”During the process they underwent sophisticated (复杂) scans that mapped which parts of their brain were lighting up and timed how long it too

33、k them to respond to a joke.The women tended to use certain parts of their brain more than the menResearcher Professor Allan Reiss said：Our findings fit the stereotype of how men and women react to humour.We found that women tend to respond more to narrative and wordplay(双关语) than slapstick(闹剧)Canad

34、ian research has shown that men and women use humour for different ends.Men are more likely to use “hostile”humour to criticize each other and establish dominance，while women employ humour to maintain relationships and put each other at ease.【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了女人没有男人听笑话反应得快，但却比男人更喜欢笑话。12Which of the follo

35、wing is TRUE?AWomen tell more jokes than men.BWomen dont understand jokes.CWomen enjoy jokes more than men.DWomen are better at getting jokes.C细节理解题。根据文章第二段的内容可知，女人没有男人听笑话反应得快，但却比男人更喜欢笑话。故可得出答案为C项。13What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?AMen like jokes more than women.BWomen like jok

36、es more than men.CIt took women more time to respond to a joke than men.DIt took men more time to respond to a joke than women.C句意理解题。结合第五段画线句前面一句话中“.and timed how long it took them to respond to a joke.”可知，画线句应是关于：通过脑部扫描可以测定他们对一个笑话作出反应的时间，故排除A、B项；又根据画线句的意思可知答案为C项。14According to the study，women resp

37、ond more to AslapstickBfunny picturesCnarrative and wordplayDblack and white cartoonsC推理判断题。由文章第六段最后一句“We found that women tend to respond more to narrative and wordplay(双关语)than slapstick(闹剧)”可知，与闹剧相比，女人更易对故事和双关语作出反应，故答案为C项。15What do women use humour for?ATo criticize each other.BTo attract women.C

38、To laugh at each other.DTo keep relationships.D细节理解题。由文章末段第二句可知，女人用幽默来保持良好的关系，使对方感觉轻松自在，故答案为D项。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。I would love to be happier，as Im sure most people would，so I think it will be interesting to find some ways to become a happier person.Exerc

44、为“锻炼可以帮助你放松并增强脑力”，与下文改善身体形象一致，都是锻炼的好处。17F该段说明了睡觉的好处，与F项中的“sleep is also important”相关联。18AA项中的“Social time”指“社交时间”，与该段标题“花时间与朋友和家人相处”相一致。19GG项中的“Going outside on a nice day”与本段小标题 Go outside对应。20E本段主要讲了要帮助他人，空前列举了把钱花在别人身上的人比花在自己身上的人更快乐，而E项更进一步列举了另外一种情况，即“花时间在别人身上怎么样”。.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)During

62、，故用被动语态；这里讲述的是今年早些时候的事，故用一般过去时。44that该空所填词引导表语从句，且在从句中只起连接作用，不充当任何成分，故填that。45thethe study特指前面提到的那项研究。46to understand“主语(表示物的名词或指代物的代词)be形容词不定式”结构中，常用不定式的主动形式表示被动含义。47breathingbreathing too much是动名词短语作主语。48ability根据该空前后的内容可知，填形容词able的名词形式ability。49healthily空格中所填单词在句中修饰谓语动词，故填形容词healthy的副词形式healthily

63、。50more根据该空前面的less可知，这里填much的比较级more。.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。In the summer holiday following my eighteen bir
