Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
　　Each year at Girl Scout summer camp， the night I， as a kid， expected most was the closing campfire， a few hours of silliness that marked our final evening together.All week， my teammates and I had been addicted to our skit （滑稽短剧） performance， editing lines and practicing scenes.
　　Skits and songs are deeply rooted in the camp experience.The days might be all about sports or nature， but night-time entertainment is a kid’s dream.Similar to a talent show， some performances are educational but mostly， they just make you laugh.Talent is irrelevant， and audience engagement through call and response is essential.
　　In the camp， social rule disappears and space for self-exploration forms.Shy kids come out of their shells， and cool kids let their guard down.They get to open up this door to a part of themselves that they wouldn’t have felt safe to show at school or at home.
　　It’s a decade ago that I performed as a camp member， and I never thought of skits from a skill-building view.But I now realize this rich camp tradition left a great impression on me.Through camp skits， I developed my sense of humor， built confidence in front of a crowd， and learned how to accept others for their quirks （怪癖）.
　　Maybe we can make our schools or communities more like summer camps by bringing the silliness of skits into our families and classrooms to reconnect with ourselves and each other.The next time you’re sitting around a campfire with friends and family， give it a try.Embrace the discomfort and invite your loved ones to join in on the improvising （即兴创作）.And remember： the more funny noises and childlike humor， the better.
1.What is the main purpose of skit performances at summer camp？（　　）
A.To entertain and engage the audience. B.To showcase talent and skills.
C.To educate the audience. D.To compete with fellow campers.
2.What does the underlined phrase “let their guard down” in paragraph 3 mean？（　　）
A.Defend. B.Relax.
C.Mature. D.Respond.
3.How did the author benefit from camp skits？（　　）
A.She developed a competitive spirit. B.She understood social rules better.
C.She became more tolerant. D.She became more creative.
4.What does the author advise us to do？（　　）
A.Take up challenges in life. B.Accept our imperfections.
C.Participate in more community activities. D.Step out of our comfort zone.

　　It seems you can ask artificial intelligence （AI） programs anything， and they’ll give you an answer back.So， can they tell jokes？ This question was raised when UK comedian Karen Hobbs performed in late June.Instead of the usual jokes she created， Hobbs delivered jokes written by ChatGPT.The process made her nervous.
　　Hobbs said that when she asked ChatGPT for a joke， what it provided was a man joking about being impatient with his shopping-obsessed （痴迷于购物的） girlfriend.Even when she asked to switch to the woman’s perspective， the joke still featured a shopping-obsessed girlfriend， just told from the first-person perspective.
　　It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials， as males dominate the field of comedy.The BBC commented that AI storytelling can only reproduce information that already exists in some form， although it can produce some never-before-seen combinations of ideas.
　　“One way that AI can tell jokes is to do what any 5-year-old does — repeat a successful joke they have heard or try to make an obvious variation of it，” said Les Carr， a professor of web science.
　　Nonetheless， a good joke in real life can always adjust to the audience’s feedback， which often leads comedians to improvise （即兴创作）.This， unfortunately， is beyond the current capabilities of AI.
　　For instance， in improvise， there is no space for premeditation （预先策划）； the comedian must rely only on their instinctive （直觉的） reaction to the audience.
　　“A well-done stand-up bit can lead the audience through a funny story all the way to a hilarious punchline （令人捧腹的妙语），” Michael Ryan， a student researching AI’s impact on comedy， explained to the BBC.“The whole time the comedian knew exactly where he or she was going with the joke and brought the audience there.”
　　Research is already ongoing with the goal of giving AI a greater understanding of the world around it， which， however， makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain.
5.Why do many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials？（　　）
A.AI prefers male perspectives. B.Women don’t like telling jokes.
C.Men control the comedy industry. D.Men are more humorous than women.
6.What is AI unable to do with jokes？（　　）
A.Repeat jokes. B.Adapt jokes.
C.Improvise jokes. D.Combine jokes.
7.What is the author’s attitude toward the future of AI-created jokes？（　　）
A.Hopeful. B.Doubtful.
C.Uncaring. D.Disapproving.
8.What is a suitable title for the passage？（　　）
A.Can jokes be made by AI？
B.Can AI jokes be genuinely funny？
C.Can AI change the world？
D.Can audiences prefer jokes created by comedians？

TEXT 1　Mr Bean
　　Mr Bean is an internationally recognised comedy character in films and TV series.He has a reputation① for constantly encountering② awkward situations， which greatly amuses③ audiences of all nationalities④ and cultures.[1]His humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely⑤ purely⑥ on body language that is universal⑦.
　　One of my favourite episodes⑧ was Mr Bean in a fancy restaurant.After being seated at his table， Mr Bean takes out a card， writes a few words on it， puts it in an envelope and places it on the table.[2]After a moment， he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised， as if he did not know it was there.He opens it to find a birthday card and very happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.
　　When he looks at the menu， an astonished⑨ look quickly appears on his face.He takes all the money out of his wallet， counts it and puts it in a saucer.He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile.Then he orders a dish called “steak⑩ tartare”.When the dish arrives， he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger.[3]He makes an attempt to eat it， but it is clear from the look on his face as he is chewing that he finds the taste truly awful.He cannot hide his feelings， except when the waiters ask if everything is all right.When this happens， he smiles and nods， indicating that everything is fine.When the waiters are not looking， however， he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach — the sugar bowl， the tiny flower vase ， inside a bread roll and under a plate.He becomes so desperate in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant’s violinist！
　　I like to watch Mr Bean on TV but I wouldn’t want to meet someone like him in real life， and I certainly wouldn’t want to have dinner with him！
　　[1]本句为主从复合句。句中两个that都引导定语从句，分别修饰先行词acts和body language。
　　[2]本句为并列复合句。句中but连接两个并列分句；在第二个分句中含有一个as if引导的方式状语从句，其谓语部分使用了虚拟语气，此处表示与现在事实相反的情况，用了一般过去时。
　　[3]本句为并列复合句。句中but连接两个并列分句；第二个分句为it is clear that ...句型，其中it为形式主语，that引导的从句为主语从句，as引导时间状语从句。

参考译文
憨豆先生 　　憨豆先生是一位国际知名的影视喜剧人物。他的著名之处在于总是遇到尴尬的情境，使来自不同国家、不同文化背景的观众都觉得非常好笑。他的幽默总是通过一连串简单、可笑的动作清晰地表达出来，完全依靠肢体语言这一全世界都能理解的方式。 　　我最喜欢的一集是憨豆先生在一家高档餐厅用餐的故事。在餐厅里就座后，憨豆先生拿出一张卡片，在上面写了几个字，塞进信封，放在桌子上。过了一会儿，他再看那信封，露出惊讶的表情，好像完全不知道它在那里。打开信封后，发现是张生日贺卡，他便高兴地把贺卡放在桌上向大家炫耀起来。 　　看菜单时，憨豆先生脸上立刻露出震惊的表情。他把钱包里所有的钱都拿出来，数了数，放进碟子里。他担心地一会儿看看菜单，一会儿看看钱，最终找到了一种食物，脸上露出了微笑。然后他点了一道“鞑靼碎牛排”。可上菜的时候，憨豆先生惊讶地发现“鞑靼碎牛排”其实就是生肉馅。他尝了尝，从他那咀嚼的表情就能看出，这东西一点都不好吃。他无法掩饰自己的感觉，除了在服务员问他是否一切满意时。服务员问他的时候，他笑着点点头，装作一切都好的样子。然而，在服务员没有注意的时候，他却忙着把生肉藏在他能够到的任何地方——糖碗、小花瓶、小圆面包里和盘子下面。最后他无计可施，居然把一部分生肉藏在旁边女士的钱包里，塞进餐厅小提琴手的裤子里！ 　　我喜欢看电视里的憨豆先生，却不希望在现实生活中遇到像他这样的人，更不想和他共进晚餐！
TEXT 2　The Contemporary① Chaplin
　　Rowan Atkinson is an English actor， comedian and screenwriter②.In Britain， Mr Atkinson is mostly③ famous for many successful TV shows but internationally we know him best as the awkward， clumsy④， but always amusing⑤ Mr Bean.If you think that Rowan Atkinson is anything like his famous creation⑥， then you are in for a surprise.On the contrary⑦， he is nothing like Mr Bean.
　　Rowan was born on 6 January， 1955.He grew up on a farm with his parents and three older brothers.His father was very strict and did not believe in the value of television.
　　Rowan had a very successful academic⑧ career.At the age of 13， he was awarded a scholarship⑨ to a boarding school⑩.Later， he studied at Newcastle University， where he attained the highest marks in his year.At Oxford， he obtained his master’s degree in electrical engineering .[1]This may explain why he loves fast cars， of which he has many.
　　When Rowan was young， he had a stutter and to make his speech clearer， he began to speak very carefully.This may be why some of his characters have unusual ways of speaking.
　　[2]As early as primary school， Rowan had already shown a talent for acting， but it was only later at university that he decided to become an actor.A key event occurred one day in 1976 when he was playing around and pulling a face in the mirror .“I discovered my face，” he said later.
　　[3]John Lloyd， who worked as a producer for BBC Television， says that one rarely meets someone with such genius ， and that when he worked with Atkinson he became convinced that Rowan would be more famous than Charlie Chaplin.
　　[1]本句为主从复合句。句中why引导宾语从句，of which he has many是一个由“介词＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句。
　　[2]本句为并列复合句。句中but连接两个并列分句；第二个分句是一个强调句型，本句强调的是时间状语only later at university。
　　[3]本句为主从复合句。句中who引导定语从句；and连接两个并列的that引导的宾语从句。

当代卓别林 　　罗温·艾金森，英国喜剧演员、编剧。艾金森先生在英国的名气主要源于他参演了很多著名影视剧，但在国际上，我们所熟悉的他是那个尴尬、笨拙，总能把人逗乐的憨豆先生。如果你认为罗温·艾金森和他扮演的憨豆先生角色一样，那你一定会感到惊讶。相反，他本人实际上一点也不像憨豆先生。 　　罗温出生于1955年1月6日，随父母在农场长大，家中有三个哥哥。他的父亲非常严厉，不相信电视的价值。 　　罗温的学生生涯非常成功。他13岁就获得了一所寄宿学校的奖学金。之后就读于纽卡斯尔大学，并以专业第一名的优异成绩毕业。随后，他又取得了牛津大学电机工程硕士学位。这也许是他为什么那么喜欢跑车，而且收藏了很多跑车的原因吧。 　　罗温小时候有口吃的毛病，为了讲话更清楚，他说话格外仔细。这也是他所塑造的一些角色讲话方式与众不同的原因。 　　早在小学时，罗温就表现出了表演天赋，但直到大学毕业，他才决定当一名演员。1976 年的一天发生了一件关键的事情，闲玩之中他对着镜子做鬼脸。后来他说：“那天，我发现了自己的另一副面孔。” 　　英国广播公司电视台的制片人约翰·劳埃德说，遇到这样的天才很难得，与罗温的合作使他相信罗温会比查理·卓别林更出名。

TEXT 1　Mr Bean
　　Mr Bean is an internationally recognised comedy character in films
and TV series.He has a reputation① for constantly encountering② awkward
situations， which greatly amuses③ audiences of all nationalities④ and
cultures.[1]His humour is always made clear through a series of simple
and funny acts that rely⑤ purely⑥ on body language that is universal⑦.
　　One of my favourite episodes⑧ was Mr Bean in a fancy
restaurant.After being seated at his table， Mr Bean takes out a card，
writes a few words on it， puts it in an envelope and places it on the
table.[2]After a moment， he looks back at the envelope but this time he
looks surprised， as if he did not know it was there.He opens it to find a
birthday card and very happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.
　　When he looks at the menu， an astonished⑨ look quickly appears on
his face.He takes all the money out of his wallet， counts it and puts it in
a saucer.He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he
finds one thing that makes him smile.Then he orders a dish called “steak
⑩ tartare”.When the dish arrives， he is shocked to discover that “steak
tartare” is actually raw hamburger.[3]He makes an attempt to eat it，
but it is clear from the look on his face as he is chewing that he finds the
taste truly awful.He cannot hide his feelings， except when the waiters
ask if everything is all right.When this happens， he smiles and nods，
indicating that everything is fine.When the waiters are not looking，
however， he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can
reach — the sugar bowl， the tiny flower vase ， inside a bread roll and
under a plate.He becomes so desperate in the end that he even hides some
inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the
trousers of the restaurant’s violinist！
　　I like to watch Mr Bean on TV but I wouldn’t want to meet someone
like him in real life， and I certainly wouldn’t want to have dinner with
him！

参考译文
憨豆先生
　　憨豆先生是一位国际知名的影视喜剧人物。他的著名之处在于
总是遇到尴尬的情境，使来自不同国家、不同文化背景的观众都觉
得非常好笑。他的幽默总是通过一连串简单、可笑的动作清晰地表
达出来，完全依靠肢体语言这一全世界都能理解的方式。
　　我最喜欢的一集是憨豆先生在一家高档餐厅用餐的故事。在餐
厅里就座后，憨豆先生拿出一张卡片，在上面写了几个字，塞进信
封，放在桌子上。过了一会儿，他再看那信封，露出惊讶的表情，
好像完全不知道它在那里。打开信封后，发现是张生日贺卡，他便
高兴地把贺卡放在桌上向大家炫耀起来。
　　看菜单时，憨豆先生脸上立刻露出震惊的表情。他把钱包里所有的钱都拿出来，数了数，放进碟子里。他担心地一会儿看看菜单，一会儿看看钱，最终找到了一种食物，脸上露出了微笑。然后他点了一道“鞑靼碎牛排”。可上菜的时候，憨豆先生惊讶地发现“鞑靼碎牛排”其实就是生肉馅。他尝了尝，从他那咀嚼的表情就能看出，这东西一点都不好吃。他无法掩饰自己的感觉，除了在服务员问他是否一切满意时。服务员问他的时候，他笑着点点头，装作一切都好的样子。然而，在服务员没有注意的时候，他却忙着把生肉藏在他能够到的任何地方——糖碗、小花瓶、小圆面包里和盘子下面。最后他无计可施，居然把一部分生肉藏在旁边女士的钱包里，塞进餐厅小提琴手的裤子里！
　　我喜欢看电视里的憨豆先生，却不希望在现实生活中遇到像他这样的人，更不想和他共进晚餐！
TEXT 2　The Contemporary① Chaplin
　　Rowan Atkinson is an English actor， comedian and screenwriter
②.In Britain， Mr Atkinson is mostly③ famous for many successful TV
shows but internationally we know him best as the awkward， clumsy④，
but always amusing⑤ Mr Bean.If you think that Rowan Atkinson is
anything like his famous creation⑥， then you are in for a surprise.On the
contrary⑦， he is nothing like Mr Bean.
　　Rowan was born on 6 January， 1955.He grew up on a farm with his
parents and three older brothers.His father was very strict and did not
believe in the value of television.
　　Rowan had a very successful academic⑧ career.At the age of 13， he
was awarded a scholarship⑨ to a boarding school⑩.Later， he studied at
Newcastle University， where he attained the highest marks in his
year.At Oxford， he obtained his master’s degree in electrical
engineering .[1]This may explain why he loves fast cars， of which he
has many.
　　When Rowan was young， he had a stutter and to make his speech
clearer， he began to speak very carefully.This may be why some of his
characters have unusual ways of speaking.
　　[2]As early as primary school， Rowan had already shown a talent
for acting， but it was only later at university that he decided to become an
actor.A key event occurred one day in 1976 when he was playing around
and pulling a face in the mirror .“I discovered my face，” he said
later.
　　[3]John Lloyd， who worked as a producer for BBC Television，
says that one rarely meets someone with such genius ， and that when
he worked with Atkinson he became convinced that Rowan would be
more famous than Charlie Chaplin.
　　[1]本句为主从复合句。句中why引导宾语从句，of which he has
many是一个由“介词＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句。
　　[2]本句为并列复合句。句中but连接两个并列分句；第二个分句
是一个强调句型，本句强调的是时间状语only later at university。
　　[3]本句为主从复合句。句中who引导定语从句；and连接两个并
列的that引导的宾语从句。

参考译文
当代卓别林
　　罗温·艾金森，英国喜剧演员、编剧。艾金森先生在英国的名气
主要源于他参演了很多著名影视剧，但在国际上，我们所熟悉的他
是那个尴尬、笨拙，总能把人逗乐的憨豆先生。如果你认为罗温·艾
金森和他扮演的憨豆先生角色一样，那你一定会感到惊讶。相反，
他本人实际上一点也不像憨豆先生。
　　罗温出生于1955年1月6日，随父母在农场长大，家中有三个哥
哥。他的父亲非常严厉，不相信电视的价值。
　　罗温的学生生涯非常成功。他13岁就获得了一所寄宿学校的奖学金。之后就读于纽卡斯尔大学，并以专业第一名的优异成绩毕业。随后，他又取得了牛津大学电机工程硕士学位。这也许是他为什么那么喜欢跑车，而且收藏了很多跑车的原因吧。
　　罗温小时候有口吃的毛病，为了讲话更清楚，他说话格外仔细。这也是他所塑造的一些角色讲话方式与众不同的原因。
　　早在小学时，罗温就表现出了表演天赋，但直到大学毕业，他才决定当一名演员。1976 年的一天发生了一件关键的事情，闲玩之中他对着镜子做鬼脸。后来他说：“那天，我发现了自己的另一副面孔。”
　　英国广播公司电视台的制片人约翰·劳埃德说，遇到这样的天才很难得，与罗温的合作使他相信罗温会比查理·卓别林更出名。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
　　Each year at Girl Scout summer camp， the night I， as a kid，
expected most was the closing campfire， a few hours of silliness that
marked our final evening together.All week， my teammates and I had
been addicted to our skit （滑稽短剧） performance， editing lines and
practicing scenes.
　　Skits and songs are deeply rooted in the camp experience.The days
might be all about sports or nature， but night-time entertainment is a
kid’s dream.Similar to a talent show， some performances are
educational but mostly， they just make you laugh.Talent is irrelevant，
and audience engagement through call and response is essential.
　　In the camp， social rule disappears and space for self-exploration
forms.Shy kids come out of their shells， and cool kids let their guard
down.They get to open up this door to a part of themselves that they
wouldn’t have felt safe to show at school or at home.
　　It’s a decade ago that I performed as a camp member， and I never
thought of skits from a skill-building view.But I now realize this rich
camp tradition left a great impression on me.Through camp skits， I
developed my sense of humor， built confidence in front of a crowd， and
learned how to accept others for their quirks （怪癖）.
　　Maybe we can make our schools or communities more like summer
camps by bringing the silliness of skits into our families and classrooms to
reconnect with ourselves and each other.The next time you’re sitting
around a campfire with friends and family， give it a try.Embrace the
discomfort and invite your loved ones to join in on the improvising （即兴
创作）.And remember： the more funny noises and childlike humor，
the better.

　　It seems you can ask artificial intelligence （AI） programs
anything， and they’ll give you an answer back.So， can they tell
jokes？ This question was raised when UK comedian Karen Hobbs
performed in late June.Instead of the usual jokes she created， Hobbs
delivered jokes written by ChatGPT. The process made her nervous.
　　Hobbs said that when she asked ChatGPT for a joke， what it
provided was a man joking about being impatient with his shopping-
obsessed （痴迷于购物的） girlfriend.Even when she asked to switch to
the woman’s perspective， the joke still featured a shopping-obsessed
girlfriend， just told from the first-person perspective.
　　It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in
online materials， as males dominate the field of comedy.The BBC
commented that AI storytelling can only reproduce information that
already exists in some form， although it can produce some never-before-
seen combinations of ideas.
　　“One way that AI can tell jokes is to do what any 5-year-old does —
repeat a successful joke they have heard or try to make an obvious
variation of it，” said Les Carr， a professor of web science.
　　Nonetheless， a good joke in real life can always adjust to the
audience’s feedback， which often leads comedians to improvise （即兴
创作）.This， unfortunately， is beyond the current capabilities of AI.
　　For instance， in improvise， there is no space for premeditation
（预先策划）； the comedian must rely only on their instinctive （直觉
的） reaction to the audience.
　　“A well-done stand-up bit can lead the audience through a funny
story all the way to a hilarious punchline （令人捧腹的妙语），”
Michael Ryan， a student researching AI’s impact on comedy，
explained to the BBC. “The whole time the comedian knew exactly
where he or she was going with the joke and brought the audience there.”
　　Research is already ongoing with the goal of giving AI a greater
understanding of the world around it， which， however， makes the
future of AI jokes still uncertain.

“Mom， I almost turned myself into the main dish！” His mom rushed
over， saw the cut， and couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same
time.“You’re making a dish， not adding yourself as an ingredient！”
Xiao Ming replied pitifully， “Mom， I’m just being creative！” His
mom sighed， “What you need is not innovation， but a healthy dinner！”
