　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　Jan Fields, our web editor, has always loved two things— writing and teaching, so she's done both throughout her professional career.

　　After graduating from college with a BA in Journalism, she quickly found that writing for newspapers didn't fulfill her dreams. So she switched to magazines and soon began teaching magazine writing. Still, something didn't feel quite right. She wanted more challenges and creativity.

　　In the 1980s, Jan answered a call to rewrite a year's children's church lessons. She quickly found that writing stories and activities for children offered all she desired. She dove in and has never looked back. Her work has appeared in Ladybug, Shining Star and many others.

　　As Jan continued building credit in children's magazines, educational magazines, and parenting magazines, she looked for opportunities to pass along what she had learned to other writers.

　　Soon, teaching small community college classes wasn't enough—she wanted to help other writers to find success in creating material for children.

　　In 2001, she discovered the Institute of Children's Literature and she's been happily instructing students here ever since. To best meet her students' needs, she's constantly searching out new information. As a web editor, Jan looks after the needs of all the visitors to this site. She moderates the Scheduled Events discussion groups and the Writer's Retreat forum, writes for the Writer's Support Room, and edits the Writer's Support Room and Writing Tips articles.

　　Jan is always open to suggestions for new ways to meet the needs of the writing communities.

　　Feel free to email her. She's eager to hear from you.

　　1．解析：考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“She quickly found that writing stories and activities for children offered all she desired”可知，她真正想做的是给孩子们写故事和活动，故选C项。

　　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, PhD 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 learning? 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 tunny 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.

　　4. 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

　　5. What is the author's attitude towards political

　　humor?

　　A. Worried.

　　B. Disappointed.

　　C. Curious.

　　D. Appreciative.

　　6. The fourth paragraph is developed mainly __________.

　　A. by example

　　B. by process

　　C. by comparison

　　D. by classification

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

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

　　B. The author feels helpless and sad 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.

　　【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对幽默的看法，并决定用幽默的态度来面对生活。

　　4．解析：考查细节理解。根据文章第一段可知，Thomas Hobbes不喜欢幽默，并从他的话“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from some sudden thought of feeling far better than others”可知，应选择A。

　　答案：A

　　5．解析：考查观点态度。根据文章第三段中的“Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of learning”及“They make polities fun”可知，作者对于政治幽默持赞赏的态度。appreciative“欣赏的，赏识的”。

　　答案：D

　　6．解析：考查写作手法。根据文章的第四段的内容可知，作者是通过举例子来支撑自己的观点的，因此选择A。

　　答案：A

　　7．解析：考查推理判断。根据文章的最后两段可推知，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，应选择D。

　　答案：D
