　　A new study has found that making someone laugh is one of the best ways to woo(求婚)one’s lover. However, researchers have discovered that not all humour is equal. The quickest path to success is to use a very specific form of wit: Self-deprecation.

　　“Many studies show that a sense of humour is attractive to women, especially to their girlfriends, but we’ve found that self-deprecating humour is the most attractive of all. ” said anthropologist Gil Greengross.

　　One possible explanation is that taking the mickey out of oneself is a high-risk strategy.

　　“It is a risky form of humour because it can draw attention to one’s real faults, thereby diminishing(缩小)the self-deprecator’s status in the eyes of others. But based on the idea that self-deprecating humour can be an especially reliable indicator not only of general intelligence and creativity, but also of moral virtues such as humility. ”

　　Anthropologist Kate Fox, author of Watching the English, believes self-deprecation is uniquely vital for those with an English cultural background: “For the English, the rules of humour are the cultural equivalent of natural laws—we obey them automatically, rather in the way that we obey the law of gravity. ”

　　“Pomposity(夸耀)and self-importance are outlawed. Serious matters can be spoken of seriously, but one must never take oneself too seriously. ” she added.

　　“As long as everyone understands the rules, they are duly impressed both by one’s achievements and by one’s reluctance(不愿)to talk about them publicly. ”

　　However, Greengross warns of another danger in the use of self-deprecation. “If you are a low-status individual, using self-deprecating humour can be disastrous to you. ” he said.

　　“Think about the secondary-school child whom nobody liked, who made fun of his shortcoming in sports. His kids laughed at him and he was considered more pathetic(悲惨的)than he was previously. This is high-risk attraction. It is not for everyone. ” (330W)

　　1. What is Kate Fox?

　　A. A film-maker.

　　B. An official at school.

　　C. A lawyer.

　　D. An expert in studying anthropology.

　　2. From the passage, we know that Gil Greengross　.

　　A. is attractive to women all the way, especially to his girlfriend

　　B. believes that he himself is really the author of Watching the English

　　C. thinks that a low-status individual can be disastrous to him/her while using self-deprecation

　　D. loves the secondary-school child whom nobody liked because of his shortcoming in sports

　　3. The underlined phrase “taking the mickey out of oneself” (in Paragraph 3)may be replaced by　.

　　A. making someone laugh

　　B. self-deprecation

　　C. obeying the law of gravity

　　D. pomposity and self-importance

　　4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. The quickest path to success is to make someone laugh.

　　B. Self-deprecation perhaps lowers its status in the eyes of others.

　　C. The English obey natural laws without obeying the law of gravity.

　　D. Nobody likes making fun of one child’s shortcoming in sports.

　　5. Where does the text probably come from?

　　A. A novel.

　　B. A survey study.

　　C. A pet magazine.

　　D. A travel guide.

　　Ⅲ. 阅读第二节

　　下面文章中有5处(第1~5题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

　　A. Speed-reading courses recommended by the author

　　B. Try to find your own method to improve your reading speed

　　C. More and more people have realized the importance of speed-reading

　　D. People spend more time in reading to prepare themselves for the future

　　E. The benefits of group events in improving the speed-reading ability

　　F. Courses available to improve the speed-reading ability

　　1. 　 

　　Speed-reading has become a necessity in the business world as well as in the world of education. More and more people are signing up to take courses online or at local community colleges to improve not only their reading speed but also the rate at which they accurately comprehend the materials they are reading.

　　2. 　 

　　Many people constantly attend courses, trying to improve their reading speed and the comprehension ability. We’re in such a world where everyone maintains copious(丰富的)useless trivia rattling around in our brains in order to come out at unexpected times. However, we all know that there is no such a thing as bad knowledge, so we constantly educate ourselves in the hope that we can face any challenge or difficulty in life with ease.

　　3. 　 

　　If you are looking for a speed-reading course in order to improve your skills, I recommend courses in which you are doing more than reading tips and advice. There are many that offer software, games, and other boosters to help you learn to read faster. I’m a bit skeptical of the idea of simply reading a list of suggestions in order to accelerate the reading speed and improve the reading comprehension.

　　4. 　 

　　If you have joined a local group that often get together in order to “compete” or offer that little bit of competitive edge as far as speed-reading goes, this is an excellent motivator for those who need a little push or a friendly competition in order to really get into the swing of things. Having some degree of accountability to yourselves or others always seems to help and offer that extra little nudge to do things faster the next time. However, it’s easier to compete with others than it is to compete with yourself. Therefore, group events are great way to encourage you to show marked improvement in your speed-reading ability.

　　5. 　 

　　Keep in mind that if one method doesn’t seem to be working for you, you should try another rather than giving up all together. No two brains are alike and it sometimes takes a lot of trial and error before you find the most suitable way. The ability of speed-reading is a great gift given to you by God, so don’t give up easily.

　　【语篇随练】

　　2. 用30个词左右概括阅读理解大意

　　Ⅰ. 1. 【解析】选B。考查关系副词的用法。先行词occasions, 在从句中作时间状语, 所以用when, 相当于on which。句意:我钦佩我的英语老师。在我的记忆中她几乎没有因为生病而不给我们上课的时候。

　　In a sports team each player has a clear role, and there are few　when members are uncertain of their roles.

　　A. occasions

　　3.【解析】选C。句意:像莫言这样的成功人士都拥有一些好的品质, 最重要的是他们绝不会对简单的生活感到满意, 因此他们不断奋斗直到成为顶尖人才。A项意为 “对……感兴趣” , B项意为 “对……感到好奇” , C项意为 “对……感到满意” , D项意为 “对……有信心” 。

　　4.【解析】选A。be particular about对……挑剔。这里表达的意思是他对衣服特别挑剔。

　　5.【解析】选B。句意:他看起来贫困, 但是我怀疑他很有钱。suspect “怀疑” , 为及物动词, 其后可直接接从句。wonder想知道; convince使确信; doubt不相信后面的内容。

　　6.【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。句意:狄更斯在1842年访问了美国, 回来时出版了他的《美国纪行》, 在另一本书中也包含了他的这次经历。由前面的publishing可知空格处要用including作状语。and连接两个现在分词短语。

　　7.【解析】选A。考查动词短语辨析。句意:中国人结婚时有剪汉字 “双囍” 并把它们贴在墙上或门上的传统。cut out裁剪, 把(纸、布等)剪切成某种形状, 符合句意。cut off剪下, 切断; cut up切碎; cut down砍倒, 减少。

　　8.【解析】选C。句意:我父亲打算让哥哥学驾驶, 但是他想在业余时间学点电脑知识。intend sb. for doing sth. “打算让某人做某事” ; pick up “学会” , 均为固定搭配。

　　C. made up

　　D. picked up

　　【解析】选D。考查动词短语辨析。句意:当她在法国时她无意间学会了法语, 现在她能随意地说了。pick up意为 “无意间学会” , 符合语境。pick out意为 “挑选” ; make out意为 “理解; 辨认出” ; make up意为 “弥补; 编造” 。

　　10.【解析】选C。句意:观众被演员滑稽的表演逗得如此高兴, 以至于他们一直笑个不停。由后面的kept laughing可知, 此处应是 “快乐的” , be entertained快乐的。

　　11.【解析】选C。考查so和such为修饰词的用法。句意:当妈妈回顾他们刚结婚时的那段日子时, 她很奇怪当时是如何用那么少的钱走过来的。首先few修饰可数名词, 故排除A、B两项; 当不可数名词前有much, little(少)修饰时, 只能用so而不能用such, 这是一种固定用法, 故此处C项正确, 又如so many books这么多书; so few people这么少的人; so much money这么多的钱。

　　12.【解析】选D。句意:随着物价的快速上涨, 我发现每月1, 000元钱几乎不够一月的生活费用。不及物动词rise和其逻辑主语the price之间为主谓关系, 所以用现在分词作补语, 表主动。

　　【知识拓展】

　　failure与success对比

　　①failure(失败)和success(成功)是一对反义词, 但用法上有不少相似之处和需注意之处:泛指一般意义的 “失败” 或 “成功” , 通常是不可数名词; 指具体的失败(成功)的人或事等, 或指一次失败或成功等, 通常是可数名词。例如:

　　Failure is the mother of success.

　　失败是成功之母。

　　If you fail, make failure a stepping stone to success.

　　假若你失败, 就把它当作通向成功的垫脚石。

　　Success came after many failures.

　　多次失败之后, 终于获得了成功。

　　He is a failure(success)in business.

　　他在生意上很失败(成功)。

　　It was said that the party was a failure(success).

　　据说晚会开得不成功(很成功)。

　　②表示未能做某事, 通常用one’s failure to do sth. ; 表示成功地做了某事, 通常用have success in doing sth. 。例如:

　　His failure to help us was disappointing.

　　他未能帮助我们真是令人失望。

　　Did you have any success in persuading her to come?

　　你说服了她来吗?

　　表示在某一方面的失败或考试不及格等, 可用介词in。例如:a failure in duty(失职), failure in love(失恋), one’s failure in an exam(考试不及格)

　　Ⅱ.

　　幽默可帮助一个人获得良好的人际关系。一项新的研究发现, 让某人笑是求爱的最好办法之一。成功的最快捷途径则是运用一种独特的智慧:自嘲。然而, 自嘲的运用是否还有高风险呢?

　　1.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第五段首句可知Kate Fox是研究人类学的。故选D项。

　　2.【解析】选C。推理判断题。对于Gil Greengross的相关信息表述, 只有C项符合倒数第二段Gil Greengross所说的 “If you are a low-status individual, using self-deprecating humour can be disastrous to you” 一句的含义。

　　3.【解析】选B。词义猜测题。由第四段的解释 “It is a risky form of humour. . . to one’s real faults, thereby diminishing the self-deprecator’s status in the eyes of others. . . . ” 说明, taking the mickey out of oneself就是 “戏弄自己” 也就是 “自嘲” (self-deprecation)。

　　4.【解析】选B。推理判断题。A项错在与第一段最后一句不吻合; B项正确是因为与第四段中 “It is a risky form of humour. . . diminishing the self-deprecator’s status in the eyes of others. ” 一句吻合; C项错在与第五段最后一句的 “we obey them automatically, rather in the way that we obey the law of gravity. ” 不吻合; D项错在与最后一段第一句不吻合。

　　5.【解析】选B。推理判断题。文章讨论的是谦卑、笑以及自嘲等的运用, 说明一种社会问题, 极有可能出自某个调查研究。故不可能是A项(小说)、C项(宠物杂志)、D项(旅游指南), 而应该是B项(一份调查研究)。

　　Ⅲ. 答案:1~5. CDAEB

　　【语篇随练】

　　1. 很多研究表明, (男士的)幽默感对于女性来说很有吸引力, 尤其是对他们的女友来说, 但是我们已经发现(在所有的幽默形式中)自嘲是最有魅力的(一种形式)。

　　2. A new study has found that making someone laugh is one of the best ways to woo one’s lover. And the quickest path to success is self-deprecation.
