The Maryland Center for History and Culture (MCHC) is currently hosting “The Jim Henson Exhibition:Imagination Unlimited”.The exhibition spotlights Henson’s unique contributions to children’s education,including his creation of the Muppets (布偶).
Born in 1936 in Mississippi,Henson grew up in Maryland.His creative talents were evident when he was a student at high school.He loved cartooning and creating sets for school theater productions.While a freshman at university,Henson made puppets for a local TV station.The station’s producers were so impressed that they asked him to produce his own puppet show.Called Sam and Friends,the program started in 1955.Viewers loved Henson’s playful characters,including an early version of Kermit the Frog.
While at university,Henson majored in home economics.At the time,it was the only major that offered classes in sewing and textiles (纺织品).Henson not only honed his creative skills at university,but he was also good at marketing and business.“He was an entrepreneur who happened to get into puppetry,” said Deborah Wood,MCHC’s learning manager.
In 1959,Henson married Jane Nebel,whom he had met at university.The couple established a company,where Focus Bert,Ernie,Miss Piggy,and other Muppets were created for Sesame Street,a popular children’s television program.Generations of children around the world have grown up watching and learning from the Muppets.
Henson,who died in 1990,created not just the Muppets,but also films,TV commercials,variety shows,and more.The exhibition shows every aspect of his career.This includes some lesser-known works,including The Cube,a short experimental film that was nominated (提名) for an Academy Award.
Visitors also get a chance to appreciate Henson’s creative process and inventiveness through hands-on displays.They can even make their own Muppets.“For me,I think the really powerful message of this exhibition is the fact that it covers Henson’s whole life and his whole career,” said Chloe Green,public programs manager at the MCHC.

When I was forced to put up with my son’s sense of humor,which included turning every word he read into jokes about his family members,the search was on.Could I,as the supportive and patient parent I try to be,find the right book for my son A book that encourages him to tell a joke without making us want to wash his mouth out with soap I had to admit I wasn’t confident.
Now,I have a book,Jake the Fake Keeps It Real,at hand.In fact,Jake is not a perfect kid.The first book in the series,Jake the Fake Keeps It Real,opens with Jake explaining how he cheated to gain admission to an arts and music academy for gifted kids.
So when Jake realizes that to fit in at art school,he has to come up with some strange ideas,I almost died laughing.Not only did I think it was funny,my son did too.In fact,Jake the Fake Keeps It Real turned out to be a great distraction (使人分心的事物) from my son’s disrespectfully funny behavior.And I would much rather have my son imitate Jake by chewing (咀嚼) the same piece of gum for six hours and then writing a play about it.
I succeeded in one thing:finding a fittingly funny role model for my son.
At the end of the book,in chapter 13,Jake,who has no talent,has to perform in the school talent show (obviously,if you blow it,you have to quit school and work on a fishing boat).Jake sits down at the piano but knows he can’t do it,so he stands up from the piano.
Here’s where the book really wins my son’s heart for life.Maybe one day,my son might say,as Jake does after his mother praises his talent show appearance and hugs him tightly,“She’s pretty cool sometimes,my mom.”

B.To share a parenting experience.
C.To promote arts education.
D.To find a book for a funny child.
D
The question of how art might make us more empathic (有同理心的) citizens is a growing interest for art institutions,artists,and cultural policy makers.
Despite high interest,there is surprisingly little data on whether visiting an exhibition or viewing an artwork really does anything,especially regarding its effect on how we think and behave.What kind of effects we might find and how long effects might last are entirely unknown.
To answer these questions,a research team assessed (评估) visitors’ experiences for the exhibition,Show Me Your Wound,organized by Johanna Schwanberg and Klaus Speidel at Dom Museum Wien.The exhibition used a combination of modern and historical art to focus on the topic of vulnerability (脆弱性).Through the exhibition,Johanna Schwanberg and Klaus Speidel aimed to encourage visitors to reflect on a key issue of humankind and to bring about positive change.
Researchers first stopped people walking out of the museum and asked if they would like to participate in exchange for a free ticket.Visitors accepting the ticket were asked to report on their thoughts and feelings regarding their empathic concern for others—both immediately before and after the visit.The results showed that,indeed,the exhibition increased empathy in visitors.
The research team also used an experience sampling method (ESM) technique with the same exhibition,in which a second group of 41 people used an app on their mobile phones to report their thoughts and actions each day.When comparing the period before the visit to the period after,the two-week results showed that participants reported trying to consider others’ feelings and reflecting more about themselves for the following week.Most of these changes lasted for the rest of the week.
“These results provide evidence that even a brief visit to an art exhibition can make a detectable change.Even when the impact has a shorter duration,it still is positive,” noted Matthew Pelowski from University of Vienna.“If we think about all of the thousands of people who might visit an exhibition,if everyone thinks a little bit more of others,that can lead to a powerful effect.”
32.What did the researchers do first
A.They followed visitors for two weeks.
B.They interviewed exhibition visitors.
C.They gave all passers-by free tickets.
D.They used apps to measure visitors’ empathy.
33.Why did the researchers ask participants to use an app
A.To encourage kindness.
B.To send timely guidance.
C.To limit their screen time.
D.To track their responses.
34.Which of the following may be Pelowski’s expectation
A.Further investigation will be carried out.
B.Art museums do more to appeal to visitors.
C.Joint efforts should be made in the future.
D.More and more people visit art exhibitions.
35.What is the main idea of the text
A.Vulnerability may bring about positive change.
B.Viewing an artwork affects people’s daily behavior.
C.Visiting art exhibitions can make us more empathic.
D.Empathy is a necessary element for art appreciation.

A sense of humor is the ability to sense,observe,and practice humor.Simply,the ability to appreciate a joke is called a sense of humor.A person who can say funny things and can observe the funny side of things is a person with a good sense of humor.　36

The importance of subject,target and its timing in humor.
You can’t be more wrong in a situation if you ignore the subject,its target and its timing.Let’s say what happens when you gift an adult magazine to a 6-year-old kid on his birthday.　38　 However,the narration (叙述) of the same incident 10 years from then would be funny.
　39　
The key to catching the minds of your friends and colleagues is to be familiar with their preferences.Developing a good sense of humor is not just about delivering fancy stuff but also about understanding the perspective of the humor subject.
Want to be humorous Laugh at yourself first.
This is the greatest quality owned by a person with a good sense of humor.If you can laugh at yourself,it means that you have come to terms with your mistakes.　40　After all,any embarrassing story turns into a humorous story if given some time.
A.But how do you become one
B.Share other people’s funny stories.
C.You’ll realize that no one is the same.
D.Be aware of the interests of your listeners.
E.Avoid making fun of others’ weaknesses.

Mr.Cousins thought that the illness could be caused by 　47　 thoughts.He did not want to take 　48　 to cure himself.Instead,he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.
He began to experiment on himself while still in the hospital by watching comedy shows on television.Mr.Cousins quickly found that ten minutes of 　49　 laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night.
Deciding that the 　50　 could not help him,Mr.Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could 　51　 his experiments with laughter.For eight days,Mr.Cousins 　52　in the hotel room watching comedy shows on television,reading amusing books,and sleeping whenever he felt 　53　.Within three weeks,he felt well enough to take a vacation to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for 　54　.

It was just another boring day for Jamie,a third-grader.He sat in his English class,mindlessly doodling on his notebook.
“Jamie Turner,please report to the principal’s office immediately.”
Jamie’s heart sank.With his mind racing,Jamie grabbed his backpack and made the long walk down the hallway to the principal’s office,avoiding eye contact with fellow students.As he walked,he searched his brain for any possible explanations for why he was being called.
Jamie finally reached the principal’s office.He took a deep breath and pushed it open,bracing himself for the worst.
To his surprise,he found the principal,Mr.Harrison who was wearing a giant yellow chicken hat on his head,standing on his desk and waving his arms as if he were trying to fly!
Jamie’s mouth fell open at the sight,too stunned to speak.
“Jamie,sit down,” Mr.Harrison exclaimed,gesturing him to take a seat.“I’ve called you here because we’ve been having some complaints about your behavior.You’ve been...too funny.”
Jamie’s jaw dropped further.Was that really the reason he was called to the principal’s office
The principal continued,his tone serious,“Now,we take our education very seriously here,and while we appreciate a good sense of humor,we have to draw the line somewhere.We cannot have students disturbing the learning environment with their...their humor.”
Jamie couldn’t help it—he burst out laughing,doubling over in his seat as he gasped for breath.
Finally,Jamie managed to compose himself enough to speak.“I’m sorry,sir,it’s just...I can’t stop laughing at the thought of getting in trouble for laughing...and your hat! It’s ridiculous!”
The principal frowned,“Well,I’m glad you find it funny.But your teachers don’t.”
Jamie nodded seriously,trying to contain his laughter.“I understand,sir.I’ll be less funny in class.” “Um,Mr.Harrison,why are you wearing a chicken hat ” Jamie asked,unable to contain his curiosity.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
“Oh,today is Animal Day for the first-graders.” Mr.Harrison grinned. 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
“Really,Mr.Harrison You think I’m that good for the upcoming school Comedy Festival ” Jamie asked.

The Maryland Center for History and Culture (MCHC) is currently hosting “The Jim Henson Exhibition:Imagination Unlimited”.The exhibition spotlights Henson’s unique contributions to children’s education,including his creation of the Muppets (布偶).
Born in 1936 in Mississippi,Henson grew up in Maryland.His creative talents were evident when he was a student at high school.He loved cartooning and creating sets for school theater productions.While a freshman at university,Henson made puppets for a local TV station.The station’s producers were so impressed that they asked him to produce his own puppet show.Called Sam and Friends,the program started in 1955.Viewers loved Henson’s playful characters,including an early version of Kermit the Frog.
While at university,Henson majored in home economics.At the time,it was the only major that offered classes in sewing and textiles (纺织品).Henson not only honed his creative skills at university,but he was also good at marketing and business.“He was an entrepreneur who happened to get into puppetry,” said Deborah Wood,MCHC’s learning manager.
In 1959,Henson married Jane Nebel,whom he had met at university.The couple established a company,where Focus Bert,Ernie,Miss Piggy,and other Muppets were created for Sesame Street,a popular children’s television program.Generations of children around the world have grown up watching and learning from the Muppets.
Henson,who died in 1990,created not just the Muppets,but also films,TV commercials,variety shows,and more.The exhibition shows every aspect of his career.This includes some lesser-known works,including The Cube,a short experimental film that was nominated (提名) for an Academy Award.
Visitors also get a chance to appreciate Henson’s creative process and inventiveness through hands-on displays.They can even make their own Muppets.“For me,I think the really powerful message of this exhibition is the fact that it covers Henson’s whole life and his whole career,” said Chloe Green,public programs manager at the MCHC.

When I was forced to put up with my son’s sense of humor,which included turning every word he read into jokes about his family members,the search was on.Could I,as the supportive and patient parent I try to be,find the right book for my son A book that encourages him to tell a joke without making us want to wash his mouth out with soap I had to admit I wasn’t confident.
Now,I have a book,Jake the Fake Keeps It Real,at hand.In fact,Jake is not a perfect kid.The first book in the series,Jake the Fake Keeps It Real,opens with Jake explaining how he cheated to gain admission to an arts and music academy for gifted kids.
So when Jake realizes that to fit in at art school,he has to come up with some strange ideas,I almost died laughing.Not only did I think it was funny,my son did too.In fact,Jake the Fake Keeps It Real turned out to be a great distraction (使人分心的事物) from my son’s disrespectfully funny behavior.And I would much rather have my son imitate Jake by chewing (咀嚼) the same piece of gum for six hours and then writing a play about it.
I succeeded in one thing:finding a fittingly funny role model for my son.
At the end of the book,in chapter 13,Jake,who has no talent,has to perform in the school talent show (obviously,if you blow it,you have to quit school and work on a fishing boat).Jake sits down at the piano but knows he can’t do it,so he stands up from the piano.
Here’s where the book really wins my son’s heart for life.Maybe one day,my son might say,as Jake does after his mother praises his talent show appearance and hugs him tightly,“She’s pretty cool sometimes,my mom.”

The question of how art might make us more empathic (有同理心的) citizens is a growing interest for art institutions,artists,and cultural policy makers.
Despite high interest,there is surprisingly little data on whether visiting an exhibition or viewing an artwork really does anything,especially regarding its effect on how we think and behave.What kind of effects we might find and how long effects might last are entirely unknown.
To answer these questions,a research team assessed (评估) visitors’ experiences for the exhibition,Show Me Your Wound,organized by Johanna Schwanberg and Klaus Speidel at Dom Museum Wien.The exhibition used a combination of modern and historical art to focus on the topic of vulnerability (脆弱性).Through the exhibition,Johanna Schwanberg and Klaus Speidel aimed to encourage visitors to reflect on a key issue of humankind and to bring about positive change.
Researchers first stopped people walking out of the museum and asked if they would like to participate in exchange for a free ticket.Visitors accepting the ticket were asked to report on their thoughts and feelings regarding their empathic concern for others—both immediately before and after the visit.The results showed that,indeed,the exhibition increased empathy in visitors.
The research team also used an experience sampling method (ESM) technique with the same exhibition,in which a second group of 41 people used an app on their mobile phones to report their thoughts and actions each day.When comparing the period before the visit to the period after,the two-week results showed that participants reported trying to consider others’ feelings and reflecting more about themselves for the following week.Most of these changes lasted for the rest of the week.
“These results provide evidence that even a brief visit to an art exhibition can make a detectable change.Even when the impact has a shorter duration,it still is positive,” noted Matthew Pelowski from University of Vienna.“If we think about all of the thousands of people who might visit an exhibition,if everyone thinks a little bit more of others,that can lead to a powerful effect.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究团队通过展览实验,证实参观艺术展览能提升参观者的同理心,且部分积极影响会持续一段时间。
32.What did the researchers do first

A.Further investigation will be carried out.
B.Art museums do more to appeal to visitors.
C.Joint efforts should be made in the future.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A sense of humor is the ability to sense,observe,and practice humor.Simply,the ability to appreciate a joke is called a sense of humor.A person who can say funny things and can observe the funny side of things is a person with a good sense of humor.　36　
Share your point of view more.
When answering the question on how to improve humor skills,you cannot be Louis C.K.,George Carlin or Richard Pryor.It has to be the original you.Take a moment and think about the funniest people you have met in your life.　37　 Every person has a different style and opinion when describing an event.So start sharing your point of view.
The importance of subject,target and its timing in humor.
You can’t be more wrong in a situation if you ignore the subject,its target and its timing.Let’s say what happens when you gift an adult magazine to a 6-year-old kid on his birthday.　38　 However,the narration (叙述) of the same incident 10 years from then would be funny.
　39　
The key to catching the minds of your friends and colleagues is to be familiar with their preferences.Developing a good sense of humor is not just about delivering fancy stuff but also about understanding the perspective of the humor subject.
Want to be humorous Laugh at yourself first.
This is the greatest quality owned by a person with a good sense of humor.If you can laugh at yourself,it means that you have come to terms with your mistakes.　40　After all,any embarrassing story turns into a humorous story if given some time.
A.But how do you become one
B.Share other people’s funny stories.
C.You’ll realize that no one is the same.
D.Be aware of the interests of your listeners.
E.Avoid making fun of others’ weaknesses.
F.When you share your mistakes,it makes you complete.

It was just another boring day for Jamie,a third-grader.He sat in his English class,mindlessly doodling on his notebook.
“Jamie Turner,please report to the principal’s office immediately.”
Jamie’s heart sank.With his mind racing,Jamie grabbed his backpack and made the long walk down the hallway to the principal’s office,avoiding eye contact with fellow students.As he walked,he searched his brain for any possible explanations for why he was being called.
Jamie finally reached the principal’s office.He took a deep breath and pushed it open,bracing himself for the worst.
To his surprise,he found the principal,Mr.Harrison who was wearing a giant yellow chicken hat on his head,standing on his desk and waving his arms as if he were trying to fly!
Jamie’s mouth fell open at the sight,too stunned to speak.
“Jamie,sit down,” Mr.Harrison exclaimed,gesturing him to take a seat.“I’ve called you here because we’ve been having some complaints about your behavior.You’ve been...too funny.”
Jamie’s jaw dropped further.Was that really the reason he was called to the principal’s office
The principal continued,his tone serious,“Now,we take our education very seriously here,and while we appreciate a good sense of humor,we have to draw the line somewhere.We cannot have students disturbing the learning environment with their...their humor.”
Jamie couldn’t help it—he burst out laughing,doubling over in his seat as he gasped for breath.
Finally,Jamie managed to compose himself enough to speak.“I’m sorry,sir,it’s just...I can’t stop laughing at the thought of getting in trouble for laughing...and your hat! It’s ridiculous!”
The principal frowned,“Well,I’m glad you find it funny.But your teachers don’t.”
Jamie nodded seriously,trying to contain his laughter.“I understand,sir.I’ll be less funny in class.” “Um,Mr.Harrison,why are you wearing a chicken hat ” Jamie asked,unable to contain his curiosity.

【写作指导】
1.段落续写:①由续写第一段首句“‘哦,今天是一年级学生的动物日。’ 哈里森先生笑着说。”可知,第一段可以描写哈里森先生从动物日话题联想到可以让杰米利用自己的喜剧天赋去参加喜剧节。
②由续写第二段首句“‘真的吗,哈里森先生 你认为我能胜任即将到来的学校喜剧节吗 ’ 杰米问道。”可知,第二段可以描写哈里森先生鼓励杰米参加喜剧节,杰米最终在喜剧节舞台上表现很成功,他也找到了自己的使命。
2.续写线索:哈里森先生通过动物日联想到家禽游戏→哈里森先生推荐杰米参加喜剧节→杰米对此感到不可置信→哈里森先生鼓励杰米→杰米在舞台上表现很成功

“Oh,today is Animal Day for the first-graders.” Mr.Harrison grinned. “It’s just part of the school theme week for the primary students.Today is animal day,and I wanted to show my support for our bird friends.Are you familiar with fowl play,Jamie ” “Uh,not really,” Jamie said,feeling more confused by the second.“Well,it’s a kind of joke that involves wordplay and humor.Like,why did the chicken cross the playground To get to the other slide!” Mr.Harrison said,grinning widely.“Well,Jamie.You have a natural talent for comedy that is rare in someone your age.You have turned a lecture into a comedy show,and a science experiment into a stand-up routine.You are a born entertainer!You should join the upcoming school Comedy Festival.”
“Really,Mr.Harrison You think I’m that good for the upcoming school Comedy Festival ” Jamie asked. “I do.Jamie.I do,” Mr.Harrison said,leaning closer to him.“Our school’s first ever Comedy Festival will be a showcase of the funniest students in the district,and you will represent our school with pride!” Jamie felt like he had won the lottery.He could not believe his luck! “Thank you,Mr.Harrison! Thank you!” Jamie said,jumping up from his chair.“I won’t let you down! I promise I’ll be the best comedian you’ve ever seen!” Although Jamie found himself stepping onto the stage the following week,shaking with nerves,as soon as he started telling his jokes,it was like a switch flipped within him.And when the crowd erupted in laughter,he knew that he had found his calling.
