Ⅰ.阅读理解(导学号02516159)

A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who disliked humor，“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from some sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow­mindedness.

However，Mordechai Gordon，Ph.D of Education，insists，“Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.

In the United States，every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings，how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming? Television shows like The Daily Show have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplane­ing politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.

Of course，politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self­image.On the topic of self­image，Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song Don't Cha as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.

A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things，mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.

Of course，humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸俗)and racism，but，like everything else，it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves，our failures and our connection with one another.

Though life may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles (皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.

With that in mind，remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.

[语篇解读]　一种文化的价值能通过其幽默感表现出来。本文作者介绍了自己幽默的看法，并决定用幽默的态度来面对生活。

1．Hobbes believed that humor　________　.

A．was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel better

B．resulted in narrow­mindedness of human beings

C．had the power to mirror personal glory and national values

D．was for people to view the world from another angle

解析：A　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知，Thomas Hobbes不喜欢幽默，并从他的话中“Laughter is nothing...better than others.”可知。]

2．What is the author's attitude towards political humor?

A．Worried.　　　　　 B．Disappointed.

C．Curious. D．Appreciative.

解析：D　[观点态度题。根据文章第三段中的“Without humor...way of lemming？”及“They make politics fun.”可知，作者对于政治幽默持赞赏的态度。appreciative“欣赏的，赏识的”。]

3．The fourth paragraph is developed mainly　______　.

A．by example B．by process

C．by comparison D．by classification

解析：A　[写作手法题。根据文章第四段的内容可知，作者是通过举例子来支撑自己的观点的。]

4．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A．Chaplin wasn't aware of being laughed at.

B．The author feels helpless and worries about getting older.

C．Never be the one who laughs at other people.

D．The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.

解析：D　[细节理解题。根据文章的最后两段可知，尽管生活有时候会很艰难，但仍然有连卓别林都没有意识到的幽默，要记得用幽默的态度来面对生活。]
