题型组合练(二十二)　选择性必修第二册　UNIT 4　HUMOUR
(建议用时：45分钟　总分：50分)
Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
(2026·河南洛阳联考)Humour has long been recognized for its positive effects，even in the darkest times．Laughter serves as a bridge，helping individuals get through pain．This is shown in Amy Herzog's new play，Mary Jane．The play balances humour and heartbreak，providing a fresh perspective on the trials of care-giving and the strength of the human spirit．
Mary Jane tells the story of a single mother who raises her disabled son，Alex．The play explores friendship，unconditional mother's love，and hope and despair．Despite all the challenges she faces，Mary Jane's life is filled with humour，offering the audience a brief respite (喘息) from her emotional trouble．
The play focuses on the characters'emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience．This is achieved by showing the influence of Alex's condition through the eyes of those who care for him．The audience feels the weight of his absence and his various needs，which take up most of Mary Jane's life．Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son's constant medical needs．Her interactions with the supporting characters show the
importance of community support and humour that help her fight against her daily struggles．One of the most moving parts of the play is Mary Jane's interactions with other mothers of disabled children．They exchange advice，encourage and entertain each other with humour．
Norman Cousins，a professor，recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter．Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic (麻醉的) effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep．His findings show humour's physical and psychological benefits．
Research also supports the importance of laughter and humour，showing that it can reduce stress，improve mood and resilience．Humour positively and directly affects people's health．This indicates that humour can buffer against stress and improve overall mental health．
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Mary Jane展现了幽默在困难时期的重要作用，以及幽默对人身心健康的好处。
√
1．What is the purpose of the text
A．To advertise a new play．
B．To provide humour in our daily life．
C．To emphasize the importance of humour．
D．To introduce the way to be humorous．
C　[推理判断题。由文章第一段“Humour has long been recognized for its positive effects...providing a fresh perspective on the trials of care-giving and the strength of the human spirit．”和最后一段“Research also supports the importance of laughter and humour，showing that it can reduce stress...This indicates that humour can buffer against stress and improve overall mental health．”可知，文章主要是强调幽默的重要性。故选C。]
√
2．Which words can describe Mary Jane

√
3．What can we learn from the play

A　[推理判断题。由文章第三段中“The play focuses on the characters'emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience．”可知，剧中主要关注的是人物的情感和心理经历，而不是Alex的实体出场，所以观众在剧中很少看到Alex。故选A。]
4．How did Cousins recover from his illness
A．By having plenty of exercise．
B．By laughing a lot every day．
C．By having a balanced diet．
D．By taking lots of medicine．
√
B　[细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Norman Cousins，a professor，recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter．Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep．”可知，Cousins是通过每天经常欢笑来恢复健康的。故选B。]

(2025·江苏无锡模拟)Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a childlike sense of humour．Indeed，a number of studies have found an association between humour and intelligence．Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people，particularly those who enjoy dark humour，have higher IQs than their less funny fellows．They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour．Their analysis shows that funny people have higher intelligence，and they score lower in mood disturbance (忧虑) and aggressiveness (攻击性)．
In psychology we use the term“positive humour style”to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships and reduce conflict．This type of humour is associated with relationship satisfaction，extroversion (外向性) and high self-esteem．Having a humorous outlook on life is also a good coping strategy．It helps people better manage stress and challenges．
Not only do funny people make other people laugh，but they also laugh more themselves．And laughter leads to brain changes，which may explain the link between humour and intelligence．Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states，such as joy，fun and happiness，increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain．Dopamine not only makes us feel great，it also opens up the learning centres of the brain，which enables and sustains more neural (神经) connections．As a result，we become more flexible and creative in our thinking，and better at solving problems．It also boosts our working memory．
Evidence suggests that humour actually bolsters feelings of confidence，competence and status，making funny people very influential．Humour gets people to listen，helps communicate messages and aids learning．It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture．Studies of positive organizations suggest the more fun we have at work the more productive we are，and the less likely we are to suffer burnout．
Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning．Several studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students，and also enhance students'comprehension and recall of the topic．
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幽默与智力的联系，阐述了幽默带来的好处，如有助于处理压力、提升思维能力等，还提及幽默在教育和组织中的积极作用。
√
5．What can we learn from the researchers in Austria
A．People enjoy dark humour most．
B．Less funny people are aggressive．
C．Funny people are always emotional．
D．Humorous people have a brilliant mind．
D　[细节理解题。根据第一段中“Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people，particularly those who enjoy dark humour，have higher IQs than their less funny fellows．”可知，奥地利的研究人员发现幽默的人智商更高，也就意味着有更聪明的头脑。故选D项。]
√
6．What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3
A．The benefit of laughter．
B．The reason of our brain changes．
C．The way of being creative in thinking．
D．The association of humour and intelligence．
D　[推理判断题。根据第三段中“Not only do funny people make other people laugh，but they also laugh more themselves．And laughter leads to brain changes，which may explain the link between humour and intelligence．”可知，作者在第三段主要是通过阐述笑引发的大脑变化，来表明幽默和智力之间的联系。故选D项。]
√
7．What's the meaning of the underlined word“bolsters”？
A．Combine．　　　　 B．Increase．
C．Explain． D．Damage．
B　[词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Evidence suggests that humour actually bolsters feelings of confidence，competence and status，making funny people very influential．”以及后文提到幽默带来的积极影响可推知，幽默能增强这些积极的感觉。“bolsters”意思是“增强”，与“increase”同义。故选B项。]
√
8．What can be concluded from the research in education
A．Teachers are always humorous in class．
B．Students can understand humour better in class．
C．Humorous classes are more efficient for students．
D．Effective learning depends on students'humour levels．
C　[推理判断题。根据最后一段“Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning...and also enhance students'comprehension and recall of the topic．”可知，幽默是一种有效的学习辅助工具，能提高学生对主题的理解和记忆，所以幽默的课堂对学生来说更有效率。故选C项。]
Ⅱ．完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
(2026·安徽阜阳模拟)Most of us lose life's tough battles by starting an unexpected attack—when a touch of humour might well enable us to win．Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who was 　1　 in a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving a warning about being late for the job．　2　 there was a good reason for Sam's being late—serious illness at home—he 　3　 that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't 　4　 any longer．His boss was probably already pacing 　5　 preparing a speech to fire him．
Yes，the boss was there when Sam entered the office at 9：35．The place was as quiet as a locker room；everyone was hard at work．Sam's boss came up to him angrily．Suddenly，Sam 　6　 and stretched out his hand．“How do you do！”he said．“I'm Sam Maynard．I'm applying for a 　7　，which，I understand，became 　8　 just 35 minutes ago．Does the 　9　 bird get the worm？”
The room exploded in laughter．The boss 　10　 a smile and walked back to his office．Sam Maynard had 　11　 his job—with the only tool that could win—a laugh．　12　 is a most effective，yet frequently neglected，means of handling the difficult situations in our lives．It can be used for making up differences，apologizing，criticizing and getting the other fellow to do what you want 　13　 his losing face．For some jobs，it's the only tool that can succeed．It is a way to discuss subjects so 　14　 that serious dialogue may start a quarrel．　15　，comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious problems than people in any other field．

Dear School Administration，
I am writing to shed light on certain unenvironmentally friendly practices on our campus and suggest ways to address them in alignment with the“Green Campus”initiative．
One prevalent unenvironmentally friendly phenomenon on our campus is the excessive use of disposable plastic water bottles．Every day，numerous plastic bottles are discarded，contributing to plastic pollution and harming our environment．
To tackle this issue，we can implement several solutions．Firstly，installing water refill stations across campus can encourage students to use reusable water bottles，reducing the reliance on single-use plastics．Secondly，organizing awareness campaigns and educational workshops can educate students about the detrimental effects of plastic pollution and promote sustainable alternatives．By adopting these measures，we can significantly reduce our environmental footprint and progress towards a greener campus environment．
Thank you for considering these suggestions for a more sustainable future．
Yours，
Li Hua

(2025·甘肃酒泉模拟)Last summer，a group of high school students，including Lily，Tom，and Jack，participated in an environmental protection camp in a small coastal town．The town was famous for its beautiful beaches，but recently，it had been suffering from severe pollution due to the large amount of plastic waste washed up on the shore．
On the first day of the camp，the instructor，Mr．Green，took them to the beach．What they saw was shocking．The once-clean sand was covered with all kinds of plastic items，from bottles and bags to broken toys．“This is the result of our inappropriate use of plastic，”Mr．Green said seriously．“Our goal this week is to clean up this beach and raise people's awareness of environmental protection．”
The students immediately got to work．They divided into several groups，each equipped with gloves and large trash bags．Lily and her group were responsible for the northern part of the beach．As they picked up the plastic waste，they were disappointed by the amount of it．“How could people be so irresponsible？”Lily complained angrily．Tom，who was in the same group，sighed，“It seems like an endless task，but we have to do something．”
After hours of hard work，they managed to fill dozens of trash bags．However，they knew that this was just a solution for a short time，not permanent．They needed to find a more effective way to prevent the plastic pollution．That evening，they had a group discussion．Everyone shared their ideas．Jack suggested organizing a community-wide campaign to encourage people to reduce plastic use．Some students thought it was a good idea，but others were worried that it might not attract enough attention．

Just then，Lily had an inspiration．“Why not use social media？”she said passionately．“We can create short and eye-catching videos about the beach pollution and our cleaning efforts．Then post them on platforms like TikTok．With the power of the Internet，we can reach a much wider audience．”The others were immediately excited about the idea．They spent the next few days filming the videos and appealing to people to take action．Tom，who was good at video editing，worked day and night to make the videos as attractive as possible．
The campaign turned out to be a huge success．Once the videos were uploaded，they went viral within a few days．Many people liked and shared them．The residents were deeply touched and decided to join the fight．Some businesses started to provide eco-friendly alternatives to plastic products．The students were overjoyed to see their small actions making such a big difference．They realized that with determination and creativity，they could contribute to protecting the environment．
谢 谢 ！题型组合练(二十二)　选择性必修第二册　UNIT 4　HUMOUR
(建议用时：45分钟　总分：50分)
Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
(2026·河南洛阳联考)Humour has long been recognized for its positive effects，even in the darkest times．Laughter serves as a bridge，helping individuals get through pain．This is shown in Amy Herzog's new play，Mary Jane．The play balances humour and heartbreak，providing a fresh perspective on the trials of care-giving and the strength of the human spirit．
Mary Jane tells the story of a single mother who raises her disabled son，Alex．The play explores friendship，unconditional mother's love，and hope and despair．Despite all the challenges she faces，Mary Jane's life is filled with humour，offering the audience a brief respite (喘息) from her emotional trouble．
The play focuses on the characters'emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience．This is achieved by showing the influence of Alex's condition through the eyes of those who care for him．The audience feels the weight of his absence and his various needs，which take up most of Mary Jane's life．Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son's constant medical needs．Her interactions with the supporting characters show the importance of community support and humour that help her fight against her daily struggles．One of the most moving parts of the play is Mary Jane's interactions with other mothers of disabled children．They exchange advice，encourage and entertain each other with humour．
Norman Cousins，a professor，recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter．Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic (麻醉的) effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep．His findings show humour's physical and psychological benefits．
Research also supports the importance of laughter and humour，showing that it can reduce stress，improve mood and resilience．Humour positively and directly affects people's health．This indicates that humour can buffer against stress and improve overall mental health．
1．What is the purpose of the text
A．To advertise a new play．
B．To provide humour in our daily life．
C．To emphasize the importance of humour．
D．To introduce the way to be humorous．

(2025·江苏无锡模拟)Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a childlike sense of humour．Indeed，a number of studies have found an association between humour and intelligence．Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people，particularly those who enjoy dark humour，have higher IQs than their less funny fellows．They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour．Their analysis shows that funny people have higher intelligence，and they score lower in mood disturbance (忧虑) and aggressiveness (攻击性)．
In psychology we use the term“positive humour style”to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships and reduce conflict．This type of humour is associated with relationship satisfaction，extroversion (外向性) and high self-esteem．Having a humorous outlook on life is also a good coping strategy．It helps people better manage stress and challenges．
Not only do funny people make other people laugh，but they also laugh more themselves．And laughter leads to brain changes，which may explain the link between humour and intelligence．Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states，such as joy，fun and happiness，increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain．Dopamine not only makes us feel great，it also opens up the learning centres of the brain，which enables and sustains more neural (神经) connections．As a result，we become more flexible and creative in our thinking，and better at solving problems．It also boosts our working memory．
Evidence suggests that humour actually bolsters feelings of confidence，competence and status，making funny people very influential．Humour gets people to listen，helps communicate messages and aids learning．It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture．Studies of positive organizations suggest the more fun we have at work the more productive we are，and the less likely we are to suffer burnout．
Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning．Several studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students，and also enhance students'comprehension and recall of the topic．
5．What can we learn from the researchers in Austria
A．People enjoy dark humour most．
B．Less funny people are aggressive．
C．Funny people are always emotional．
D．Humorous people have a brilliant mind．
6．What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3
A．The benefit of laughter．
B．The reason of our brain changes．
C．The way of being creative in thinking．
D．The association of humour and intelligence．
7．What's the meaning of the underlined word“bolsters”？
A．Combine．　　　　 B．Increase．
C．Explain． D．Damage．
8．What can be concluded from the research in education
A．Teachers are always humorous in class．
B．Students can understand humour better in class．
C．Humorous classes are more efficient for students．
D．Effective learning depends on students'humour levels．
Ⅱ．完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
(2026·安徽阜阳模拟)Most of us lose life's tough battles by starting an unexpected attack—when a touch of humour might well enable us to win．Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who was 　1　 in a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving a warning about being late for the job．　2　 there was a good reason for Sam's being late—serious illness at home—he 　3　 that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't 　4　 any longer．His boss was probably already pacing 　5　 preparing a speech to fire him．
Yes，the boss was there when Sam entered the office at 9：35．The place was as quiet as a locker room；everyone was hard at work．Sam's boss came up to him angrily．Suddenly，Sam 　6　 and stretched out his hand．“How do you do！”he said．“I'm Sam Maynard．I'm applying for a 　7　，which，I understand，became 　8　 just 35 minutes ago．Does the 　9　 bird get the worm？”
The room exploded in laughter．The boss 　10　 a smile and walked back to his office．Sam Maynard had 　11　 his job—with the only tool that could win—a laugh．　12　 is a most effective，yet frequently neglected，means of handling the difficult situations in our lives．It can be used for making up differences，apologizing，criticizing and getting the other fellow to do what you want 　13　 his losing face．For some jobs，it's the only tool that can succeed．It is a way to discuss subjects so 　14　 that serious dialogue may start a quarrel．　15　，comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious problems than people in any other field．
1．A．dug　　　　　　　　　　　 B．trapped
C．erupted D．aimed
B　 [考查动词词义辨析。根据前文“an unexpected attack”和后文“in a traffic jam on his way to work”可知，朋友受堵车之苦。be trapped in a traffic jam意为“被困在交通拥堵中”。故选B项。]

3．A　[推理判断题。由文章第三段中“The play focuses on the characters' emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience．”可知，剧中主要关注的是人物的情感和心理经历，而不是Alex的实体出场，所以观众在剧中很少看到Alex。故选A。]
