Mr Bean is an internationally recognised comedy character in films and TV series.One of my favourite 1.episodes(episode) was Mr Bean in a fancy restaurant.2.Seated(seat) at his table，Mr Bean takes out a card，writes a few words on it，puts it in an envelope and 3.places(place) it on the table.After a moment，he pretends 4.to find(find) it by accident and shows it to others happily.When eating raw hamburger，he makes an attempt to eat it，but the taste is 5.truly(true) awful.So he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach.
Rowan Atkinson is 6.an English actor，comedian and screenwriter.Born on 6 January,1955，he grew up on a farm.Rowan had a very 7.successful(success) academic career.At Oxford，he 8.obtained(obtain) his master’s degree in electrical engineering.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.As early as primary school，Rowan had already shown a talent 9.for acting，but it was only later at university 10.that he decided to become an actor.John Lloyd，who worked as a producer for BBC Television，thinks highly of him.

A
I would never forget that day.When I woke up on Sep 1,2020，there was only one thing on my mind：what to wear.A billion thoughts raced through my brain in the closet.I didn’t want to come off as trying too hard，but I also didn’t want to be seen as a slob.Not only was it my first day of high school，but it was my first day of school in a new state；first impressions are everything，and it was important for me to impress the people who I would spend the next three years with.
This was my third time being the new kid.But this time was different because my dad promised that I would start and finish high school in the same place.This time mattered，and that made me nervous.
After meticulously searching my closet，I proudly came out in a dress from Target.The soft cotton was comfortable，and the laced shoulders added a hint of fun.Yes，this outfit was the one.An hour later，I felt powerful as I headed toward Room 1136.But as I entered class，my jaw dropped to the floor.
Sitting at her desk was Mrs Hutfilz，my English teacher，wearing exactly the same dress as me.I kept my head down and tiptoed to my seat.I made it through my brief introduction speech until Mrs Hutfilz stood up，jokingly adding that she liked my style.Although this was the moment I had been afraid of from the moment I walked in，all my anxiety surprisingly melted away，and the students paid attention as I shared my story.My smile grew as I laughed with the students.After class，I stayed behind and talked to Mrs Hutfilz，relieved to make a humorous and real connection.
Looking back three years later，the ten minutes I spent afraid of giving my speech were really not worth it.My first period of high school certainly made the day unforgettable in the best way and taught me that Mrs Hutfilz has an awesome sense of style!

(2024·广东广州高二上期末)
Laughter comes in many forms，from a polite and quiet laugh to a great hearty laugh.Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts.The team behind the laughing robot Erica said that the system could improve natural conversations between people and an AI robot.“We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy(共情)，” said Dr Koji Inoue，the lead author of the research.“So we decided that one way a robot can empathize with its users is to share their laughter.”
The team has set out to teach their AI system the art of conversational laughter.They gathered training data from more than 80 daily dialogues between male subjects and the robot that was initially operated by four actresses remotely.The dialogue data was grouped into social laughs(where polite or embarrassed laughter isn’t involved) and laughter of joy.Based on the audio files，the algorithm(算法) learned the basic characteristics of social laughs，which tend to be softer，and merry laughs，with the aim of mirroring these in appropriate situations.
“Our biggest obstructor in the work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter because as you know，most laughter is actually not shared at all，” said Inoue.“We had to carefully decide exactly which laughs we could use for our analysis and we couldn’t just assume that any laugh can be responded to.It was really not easy work.” The team said laughter could help create robots with their own distinct character although it could take more than 20 years before it would be possible to have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.
“One of the things we’d keep in mind is that a laughing robot or algorithm will never be able to understand you or the meaning of laughter，” points out Prof.Sandra Wachter of the Oxford Internet Institute.“But with their development，they might get very good at tricking you into believing they understand what’s going on.”
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家正在研究开发一种让机器人可以在适当社交场合展现适当笑容的AI系统。
5．Why did Inoue’s team develop the AI system
A．To better understand human empathy.
B．To promote the social skills of robots.
C．To explore the differences between laughs.
D．To assist robots in identifying people’s moods.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。由第一段中“Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts.The team...said that the system could improve natural conversations between people and an AI robot.”可知，Inoue团队开发该人工智能系统是为了提高机器人的社交技能。故选B。
6．What can robot Erica probably do at present
A．Repeat the details of the 80 dialogues.
B．Distinguish people by hearing their laughs.
C．Recreate a scene played by the four actresses.
D．Master the features of laughs provided by data.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。由第二段中“Based on the audio files，the algorithm(算法) learned the basic characteristics of social laughs，which tend to be softer，and merry laughs，with the aim of mirroring these in appropriate situations.”可知，基于音频文件，算法学习了社交笑和欢乐笑的特征，因此推断机器人Erica目前可能掌握了数据提供的笑的特征。故选D。
7．What does the underlined word “obstructor” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Potential. B．Barrier.
C．Alternative. D．Division.
答案　B
解析　词义猜测题。由画线词所在句“Our biggest obstructor in the work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter because as you know，most laughter is actually not shared at all”以及下文“...It was really not easy work.”可知，现在识别共享笑声的实际案例不是一件容易事情，所以推测obstructor 表示“障碍”，与B选项意义相同。故选B。
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Are AI Systems Going Beyond Human Ability
B．Can Conversational AI Really Understand Us
C．Laughing Robots Are Round the Conner
D．Robots Become Laughing Masters
答案　C
解析　标题归纳题。由第一段中“Laughter comes in many forms，from a polite and quiet laugh to a great hearty laugh.Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts.”及下文可知，文章主要介绍科学家正在开发一种让机器人能够在适当社交场合展现适当笑容的AI系统，目前面临一些困难，但在未来可能实现。所以C项“会笑的机器人即将问世”符合文章主旨，是本文的最佳标题。故选C。

(2024·四川成都高二下期末)
Managing Conflict with Humor
Laughter is a powerful tool. 1 Here’s how to use humor to resolve disagreements and strengthen your relationships.
Make sure you’re both in on the joke.Humor can help you overcome conflict only when both parties are in on the joke. 2 If he or she isn’t likely to appreciate the joke，don’t say or do it，even if it’s “all in good fun”．When the joking is one-sided rather than mutual，it can damage the relationship.
3 Humor helps you face challenges in life.But there are times when humor is not healthy.For example，sometimes it is used as a cover for avoiding painful emotions.You can be funny about the truth，but hiding the truth isn’t funny.When you do that，you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships.
Develop a smart sense of humor.Some find it easier than others to use humor，especially in tense situations.If your efforts aren’t going over well，start by using self-deprecating(自嘲的) humor.We all love people who don’t take themselves too seriously.After all，nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes.So，if you’re having a bad hair day，make a joke about it. 4
Tap into(发掘) your playful side.It’s understandable to fear rejection when attempting humor.However，it’s important to point out that you don’t need to be a comedian to use humor to manage conflict.The point isn’t to impress the other person，but simply to lighten the mood. 5 It can lower the other person’s defenses and put you both in a more positive state of mind.
A．Some jokes are easy to understand.
B．Avoid humor when facing challenges.
C．Don’t use humor to cover up other emotions.
D．So it’s important to be sensitive to the other person.
E．Therefore，don’t be afraid to simply act silly like a kid.
F．It brings people closer，managing conflict and reducing tension.
G．Even if the joke falls flat，the only person you risk offending is yourself.
语篇解读　本文为说明文，主要就如何运用幽默来解决冲突和加强人际关系提供了建议和指导。
1．答案　F
解析　由上文“Laughter is a powerful tool.”及下文“Here’s how to use humor to resolve disagreements and strengthen your relationships.”可知，这段文字主要讲述幽默在解决冲突中的作用，选项F“它拉近了人们之间的距离，处理冲突，并减少紧张情绪”阐述笑所带来的积极效果，承上启下，符合语境；选项中“It”指代上文中的“Laughter”。故选F。
2．答案　D
解析　由上文“Make sure you’re both in on the joke.Humor can help you overcome conflict only when both parties are in on the joke.”和下文“If he or she isn’t likely to appreciate the joke，don’t say or do it，even if it’s ‘all in good fun’．When the joking is one-sided rather than mutual，it can damage the relationship.”可知，上文强调双方都要能理解笑话，后面紧接着提到如果对方不会欣赏这个笑话就不要讲，选项D“所以对另一个人的感受保持敏感是很重要的”与上文构成因果关系，承上启下，符合题意。故选D。
3．答案　C
解析　设空处为本段主题句；本段空后的内容讲述了不当使用幽默的情况，特别是用幽默来逃避痛苦的情绪是不健康的；选项C“不要用幽默来掩饰其他情绪”指出应避免用幽默掩盖其他情绪，概括本段主旨，引领下文，符合语境。故选C。
4．答案　G
解析　本段空前内容通过自嘲幽默的例子来说明自嘲的好处；选项G“即使笑话没引起共鸣，你唯一可能冒犯的人就是你自己”承接上文，进一步阐述自嘲的好处，指出自嘲即使没有引起共鸣，也不会伤害别人，符合语境。故选G。
5．答案　E

语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古代建筑中的榫卯结构。
1．答案　which
解析　考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Chinese wooden architecture，指物，在定语从句中作介词of的宾语，用关系代词which引导。故填which。
2．答案　joined
解析　考查省略句。when引导的时间状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，且谓语部分含有be动词时，可以省略从句的主语和be动词，动词join与主语The sun and the mao为被动关系，完整的从句是when they are joined together，此处省略they are。故填joined。
3．答案　flexibility
解析　考查名词。空处应填名词作宾语，flexibility为不可数名词。故填flexibility。
4．答案　incredibly
解析　考查副词。空处修饰形容词simple和efficient，应用副词incredibly，作状语。故填incredibly。
5．答案　dating
解析　考查非谓语动词。空处需填非谓语动词作定语，修饰the Hemudu site，date back和the Hemudu site为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词形式。故填dating。
6．答案　generations
解析　考查名词复数。generations of为固定用法，意为“一代又一代”。故填generations。
7．答案　have been invented
解析　考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。空处作谓语，根据“Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties”可知，本句应用现在完成时，主语a whole set of systematic methods和invent为被动关系，用被动语态，主语为复数名词，助动词用have。故填have been invented。
8．答案　to
解析　考查介词。from...to...为固定搭配，意为“从……到……”。故填to。
9．答案　but/yet
解析　考查连词。上文提到“它们的风格可能不同”，下文提到“它们都有相同的根源”，上下文之间为转折关系，用连词but/yet连接。故填but/yet。
10．答案　harmonious
解析　考查形容词。空处用形容词harmonious修饰名词coexistence，作定语。故填harmonious。(共96张PPT)

Ⅱ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。因为想给同学们留下深刻印象，作者很重视上高中的第一天。结果，作者精挑细选的衣服和英语老师哈菲尔兹夫人的一模一样，但是她幽默地化解了作者的尴尬，这让作者很难忘。
This was my third time being the new kid.But this time was different because my dad promised that I would start and finish high school in the same place.This time mattered，and that made me nervous.
After meticulously searching my closet，I proudly came out in a dress from Target.The soft cotton was comfortable，and the laced shoulders added a hint of fun.Yes，this outfit was the one.An hour later，I felt powerful as I headed toward Room 1136.But as I entered class，my jaw dropped to the floor.
Sitting at her desk was Mrs Hutfilz，my English teacher，wearing exactly the same dress as me.I kept my head down and tiptoed to my seat.I made it through my brief introduction speech until Mrs Hutfilz stood up，jokingly adding that she liked my style.Although this was the moment I had been afraid of from the moment I walked in，all my anxiety surprisingly melted away，and the students paid attention as I shared my story.My smile grew as I laughed with the students.After class，I stayed behind and talked to Mrs Hutfilz，relieved to make a humorous and real connection.
Looking back three years later，the ten minutes I spent afraid of giving my speech were really not worth it.My first period of high school certainly made the day unforgettable in the best way and taught me that Mrs Hutfilz has an awesome sense of style!

(2024·广东广州高二上期末)
Laughter comes in many forms，from a polite and quiet laugh to a great hearty laugh.Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts.The team behind the laughing robot Erica said that the system could improve natural conversations between people and an AI robot.“We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy(共情)，” said Dr Koji Inoue，the lead author of the research.“So we decided that one way a robot can empathize with its users is to share their laughter.”
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家正在研究开发一种让机器人可以在适当社交场合展现适当笑容的AI系统。
The team has set out to teach their AI system the art of conversational laughter.They gathered training data from more than 80 daily dialogues between male subjects and the robot that was initially operated by four actresses remotely.The dialogue data was grouped into social laughs(where polite or embarrassed laughter isn’t involved) and laughter of joy.Based on the audio files，the algorithm(算法) learned the basic characteristics of social laughs，which tend to be softer，and merry laughs，with the aim of mirroring these in appropriate situations.
“Our biggest obstructor in the work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter because as you know，most laughter is actually not shared at all，” said Inoue.“We had to carefully decide exactly which laughs we could use for our analysis and we couldn’t just assume that any laugh can be responded to.It was really not easy work.” The team said laughter could help create robots with their own distinct character although it could take more than 20 years before it would be possible to have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.
“One of the things we’d keep in mind is that a laughing robot or algorithm will never be able to understand you or the meaning of laughter，” points out Prof.Sandra Wachter of the Oxford Internet Institute.“But with their development，they might get very good at tricking you into believing they understand what’s going on.”
5.Why did Inoue’s team develop the AI system
A.To better understand human empathy.
