(2024·浙江杭州高二上期末)
Does a happy person live longer Many studies have convinced us that happiness brings good health，which has resulted in an increasing demand for speakers and products encouraging positive thinking.However，being happy does not promise that one is going to be healthy.There are other factors that influence one’s health and long life such as a person’s genes or even a person’s socio-economic condition.
Some research even suggests that positive thinking can be dangerous.Positive thinking，when taken to the extreme，can cause a person to be separated from reality.For example，a person who thinks that staying happy and positive can help him recover from an illness like cancer but later fails to recover from it，may blame himself for not being happy.In this case，positive thinking may potentially make the victim disregard other factors.Sometimes the pursuit of happiness is even associated with serious mental health problems such as depression.
All types of happiness are not good for us either.For example，pride，a pleasant feeling，can sometimes rob us of the ability to empathize with others or understand another’s viewpoint.This anti-social behaviour can cause people around us to turn away from us，and this could，in turn，make us feel lonely and do harm to our mental and even physical health.
Moreover，unpleasant feelings can be beneficial to a person’s well-being.Researchers believe that unpleasant feelings can help us make sense of our challenges and experiences in a way that supports psychological well-being.For example，if I have behaved badly towards my good friend，the feelings of guilt and sadness might motivate me to apologize and ask for forgiveness.The rebuilding of a broken relationship can be a lift to one’s mental well-being.
In trying to experience happiness，we should remember that seeking for happiness as an end in itself can be self-defeating，and does not necessarily lead to better health.After all，one will surely experience setbacks and conflicts in life.Instead，learning to cope with negative emotions with a realistic positive attitude is key to a person’s good health.
语篇解读　本文是说明文。文章提出了快乐并不能保证一个人的健康，并指出还有其他因素影响一个人的健康和长寿。学会用现实的积极态度应对消极情绪是一个人健康的关键。
1．What’s the writer’s opinion in this passage
A．Negative thinking can be dangerous.
B．Staying happy can bring good health.
C．Unpleasant feelings cannot be beneficial.
D．Happiness cannot ensure one’s good health.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“However，being happy does not promise that one is going to be healthy.There are other factors that influence one’s health and long life such as a person’s genes or even a person’s socio-economic condition.”可知，文章中作者认为快乐并不能保证一个人的健康。故选D。
2．When can positive thinking be dangerous according to the passage
A．When we use it with a realistic attitude to solve problems.
B．When we focus on it as an only determinant of happy life.
C．When we think it one of the necessary factors for good health.
D．When we realize it may rob us of the ability to understand others.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some research even suggests that positive thinking can be dangerous...In this case，positive thinking may potentially make the victim disregard other factors.”可知，当我们将积极思维作为幸福生活的唯一决定因素去关注时，积极思维可能是危险的。故选B。
3．How can unpleasant feelings be beneficial to a person’s well-being
A．They rebuild a broken relationship.
B．They lead to self-reflection and personal growth.
C．They help keep the problems and challenges away.
D．They prevent long-term negative effects on mental health.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Moreover，unpleasant feelings can be beneficial to a person’s well-being.Researchers believe that unpleasant feelings can help us make sense of our challenges and experiences in a way that supports psychological well-being.”和该段中所举的例子可推知，不愉快的感觉能促使自我反思和个人成长，这有益于一个人的健康。故选B。
4．What does the underlined part “an end in itself” in the last paragraph mean
A．An ultimate goal. B．An individual plan.
C．A final decision. D．A great start.
答案　A
解析　词义猜测题。根据第一段和画线短语后文可知，快乐不一定会让我们健康，我们不能把追求快乐当作目的。毕竟，一个人一定会在生活中经历挫折和冲突，只有学会用现实的积极态度来应对生活中的消极情绪才是获得健康的关键，an end in itself是“目的”的意思，和A项“一个最终目标”最接近。故选A。

(2025·贵州清镇高二上期中)
You’ve probably heard the phrase，“Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it，using stand-up comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma(精神创伤) and anxiety in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS)．
The idea came from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences teaching comedy at the University of Bristol.She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient(有适应力的) they were thanks to stand-up comedy.
Inspired，she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022.Following the success of this initial course，Comedy on Referral won NHS funding to help men with trauma in London.
Belcher said，“Past traumas are perfect for comedy.Comedy doesn’t come from the happy，perfect moments of your life，but from our everyday struggles and major life events.People who’ve been through big life experiences such as losing a loved one and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their stories，mostly because there’s always something especially funny about the situation.”
Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects，such as decreasing levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and increasing endorphins (the hormone that reduces the feeling of pain)．It can even have physiological benefits，although less research has been done in this area.Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular(心血管的) benefits.More research is needed to prove these findings.
Nonetheless，the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted，and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了转介喜剧采用“笑是最好的药”这一理念，与英国国民医疗服务体系合作，利用单口喜剧来帮助治疗那些与精神创伤和焦虑作斗争的人。
5．Why is the phrase mentioned in paragraph 1
A．To explain the harm trauma causes.
B．To stress the importance of laughter.
C．To show the effect of stand-up comedy.
D．To state the idea behind Comedy on Referral.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段“You’ve probably heard the phrase，‘Laughter is the best medicine.’ Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it...”可知，转介喜剧采纳了“笑是最好的药”这一理念，利用单口喜剧来帮助遭受精神创伤和焦虑的人们，由此可推知，作者在第一段提及此谚语是为了介绍转介喜剧背后的理念。故选D。
6．How was the first six-week comedy course for patients
A．Effective. B．Ambiguous.
C．Fruitless. D．Controversial.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段“...create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022.Following the success of this initial course...”可知，第一个为期六周的喜剧课程很成功，即它对病人是有效的。故选A。
7．What may contribute to a comedy according to Belcher
A．Struggling moments.
B．Funny moments.
C．Successful moments.
D．Boring moments.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中Belcher所说“Past traumas are perfect for comedy.Comedy doesn’t come from the happy，perfect moments of your life，but from our everyday struggles and major life events.”可知，在Belcher看来，喜剧往往来自挣扎痛苦的时刻。故选A。
8．What is the best title for the text
A．Comedy Is One Thing That Can Make You Struggle
B．Laughter Is Useful for People’s Mental Health
C．Anxiety Can Also Make You Feel Better
D．Laughter Will Cure You of All Diseases
答案　B
解析　标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第一段可知，本文主要介绍的是转介喜剧采用“笑是最好的药”这一理念，利用单口喜剧来帮助治疗那些与精神创伤和焦虑作斗争的人，并介绍了笑对人的心理健康的积极影响，所以B项“笑对人的心理健康有益”符合主题，故选B。

Moreover，unpleasant feelings can be beneficial to a person’s well-being.Researchers believe that unpleasant feelings can help us make sense of our challenges and experiences in a way that supports psychological well-being.For example，if I have behaved badly towards my good friend，the feelings of guilt and sadness might motivate me to apologize and ask for forgiveness.The rebuilding of a broken relationship can be a lift to one’s mental well-being.
In trying to experience happiness，we should remember that seeking for happiness as an end in itself can be self-defeating，and does not necessarily lead to better health.After all，one will surely experience setbacks and conflicts in life.Instead，learning to cope with negative emotions with a realistic positive attitude is key to a person’s good health.

You’ve probably heard the phrase，“Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it，using stand-up comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma(精神创伤) and anxiety in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS).
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了转介喜剧采用“笑是最好的药”这一理念，与英国国民医疗服务体系合作，利用单口喜剧来帮助治疗那些与精神创伤和焦虑作斗争的人。
The idea came from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences teaching comedy at the University of Bristol.She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient(有适应力的) they were thanks to stand-up comedy.
Inspired，she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022.Following the success of this initial course，Comedy on Referral won NHS funding to help men with trauma in London.
Belcher said，“Past traumas are perfect for comedy.Comedy doesn’t come from the happy，perfect moments of your life，but from our everyday struggles and major life events.People who’ve been through big life experiences such as losing a loved one and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their stories，mostly because there’s always something especially funny about the situation.”
Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects，such as decreasing levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and increasing endorphins (the hormone that reduces the feeling of pain).It can even have physiological benefits，although less research has been done in this area.Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular(心血管的) benefits.More research is needed to prove these findings.
Nonetheless，the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted，and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.
5.Why is the phrase mentioned in paragraph 1
A.To explain the harm trauma causes.
B.To stress the importance of laughter.
C.To show the effect of stand-up comedy.
D.To state the idea behind Comedy on Referral.
√

6.How was the first six-week comedy course for patients
A.Effective. B.Ambiguous.
C.Fruitless. D.Controversial.

解析
7.What may contribute to a comedy according to Belcher
A.Struggling moments.
B.Funny moments.
C.Successful moments.
D.Boring moments.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段中Belcher所说“Past traumas are perfect for comedy.Comedy doesn’t come from the happy，perfect moments of your life，but from our everyday struggles and major life events.”可知，在Belcher看来，喜剧往往来自挣扎痛苦的时刻。故选A。
解析
8.What is the best title for the text
A.Comedy Is One Thing That Can Make You Struggle
B.Laughter Is Useful for People’s Mental Health
C.Anxiety Can Also Make You Feel Better
D.Laughter Will Cure You of All Diseases
√
