Ⅳ．阅读理解

A

A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor．

Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who, in “On Nature”，

disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from 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 TheDailyShow

have become important parts of American

culture．

They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplaning 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'tCha 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．

Among 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 (粗俗) 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 to 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：幽默能够反映一种文化的价值观。

Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too, US researchers reported on Tuesday．

They found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications．

“We have a pretty impressive effect，”

said Dr Michael Miller,

director of preventive cardiology (心脏病学) at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Balitimore．

“Blood vessel diameter improved，”

he said．“The vessel opened up pretty significantly．

You can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise．” A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins．

When blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝块) that cause heart attacks and strokes．“We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health，” said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans．

Miller's team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite music．

They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound (超声波) tests designed to show blood vessel function．

Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers listened to their joyful music．

Listening to music they disliked, blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said．

Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly．“I asked myself what other things make us feel good, besides calories from dark chocolate of course．

Music came to mind．

It makes me feel really good，” he said．

Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important as what pleases each individual．

语篇解读：这是一篇说明文，讲述音乐对人们身体健康的影响。

5．The underlined word in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to “________”．

A．widened

B．moved C．changed

D．increased 解析：选A

词义猜测题。从文章第二段、第四段可以看出，当人们在欣赏自己喜欢的音乐时，血管扩张就像人们大笑或吃血管治疗类药物一样。所以选A。

6．According to the passage, which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up? A．Taking exercise．

B．Listening to unpleasant music．

C．Bursting into laughter．

D．Taking drugs like statins．

解析：选B

细节理解题。从文章内容可知，A、C、D三项都会使血管扩张，而从文章倒数第三段内容可知B项不能使血管扩张，所以选B。

7．It can be inferred from the passage that ________．

A．blood clots are caused by heart attacks and strokes B．music is better than chocolate for your health C．different music has different effects on different people D．a person's overall health is more influenced by how much exercise he gets 解析：选C

推理判断题。通读全文可知，音乐对人们的健康有很重要的作用，听喜欢的音乐有益于健康，而听不喜欢的音乐则会对身体有不利的影响。所以选C。

8．What is the passage possibly taken from? A．A scientific journal．

B．A school textbook．

C．A medical brochure．

D．A local newspaper．

解析：选D

文章出处题。这是一篇科普类文章，但又不是专业性科普文章，故排除A项。它属于通俗类大众科普，所以最可能出现在报纸上，为大众服务，所以选D。

Ⅴ．任务型阅读

Right now you are reading English．

1．________ You know, reading is a very active

process．

It is true that the writer does a lot of work, but the reader also has to work hard．

Here are some useful tips for you．

Try to read at the right level．

2．________ If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting for you and you will soon be discouraged．

So when you read, make sure the content is understandable．

Make a note of new vocabulary．

If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your vocabulary book．

3．________ Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read, mark them with a pen, and then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and add them to your vocabulary book．

Try to read regularly．

For example, read for a short time once a day．

Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday．

4．________ For example, you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up, or at lunchtime．

5．________ Choose a magazine or book about a subject that you like．

If you choose something that you like to read, it can actually be interesting and enjoyable．

For example, if you like to read about football in your own language, why not read about football in English? You will get information about football and improve your English at the same time．

A．You may not even need to use a dictionary because you can guess the meaning．

B．That means you are using your brain in a very active way．

C．But you don't have to write them while you are reading．
