3．A sense of humor is something highly valued．A person who has a great sense of humor is often considered to be happy and socially confident．However，humor is a double-edged sword．Sometimes it can damage self-respect and annoy others．
People who use bonding humor tell jokes and generally lighten the mood．They're thought to be good at reducing the tension in uncomfortable situations．They often make fun of their common experiences，and sometimes they may even laugh off their own misfortunes．The basic message they deliver is：We're all alike，we find the same things funny，and we're all in this together．
Put-down humor，on the other hand，is an aggressive type of humor used to criticize others through teasing．When it's aimed against politicians，as it often is，it's extremely funny and mostly harmless．But in the real world，it may have a harmful effect．An example of such humor is telling friends an embarrassing story about another friend．When challenged about their teasing，the put-down jokers might claim that they are"just kidding，"thus allowing themselves to avoid responsibility．This type of humor，though considered by some people to be socially acceptable，may hurt the feelings of the one being teased and thus have a bad effect on personal relationships．
Finally，in hate-me humor，the joker is the target of the joke for the amusement of others．This type of humor was used by comedians John Belushi and Chris Farley-both of whom suffered for their success in show business．A small amount of such humor is charming，but routinely offering oneself up to be embarrassed destroys one's self-esteem，and fosters depression and anxiety．
So it seems that being funny isn't necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being．In certain cases，it may actually have a negative effect on interpersonal relationships．

21．In bonding humor，people create a relaxing atmosphere byA．
A．joking about experiences they share
B．showing their personal relationships
C．teasing experiences of their friends
D．laughing at other's misfortunes
22．Which of the following is among the common targets of put-down humor？C
A．Comedians．B．Jokers．C．Politicians．D．Actors．
23．In the passage，the author mainly conveysB．
A．humor can be classified into three kinds
B．humor has its bright side and dark side
C．humor deserves to be studied
D．humor is highly valued．

分析 本文主要寫(xiě)了幽默是一把雙刃劍，有時(shí)會(huì)損害自尊和騷擾他人．可見(jiàn)作者認(rèn)為幽默具有兩面性．

解答 21．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)句子 AThey often make fun of their common experiences，and sometimes they may even laugh off their own misfortunes．他們經(jīng)常取笑他們的共同經(jīng)歷，有時(shí)甚至嘲笑自己的不幸．所以答案選A．
22．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)句子When it's aimed against politicians，as it often is，it's extremely funny and mostly harmless．當(dāng)它針對(duì)政客的時(shí)候，通常是這樣的，非常有趣而且基本無(wú)害．可見(jiàn)他們的目標(biāo)是politicians，所以答案選C．
23．B 推理判斷題．根據(jù)句子A person who has a great sense of humor is often considered to be happy and socially confident．However，humor is a double-edged sword．Sometimes it can damage self-respect and annoy others．一個(gè)有幽默感的人通常被認(rèn)為是快樂(lè)的和有社會(huì)自信的，然而，幽默是一把雙刃劍，有時(shí)會(huì)損害自尊和騷擾他人．可見(jiàn)作者認(rèn)為幽默具有兩面性，所以答案選B．

14．Things You Should Insist on No Matter What People SayLife can get pretty crazy at times．（36）GHappiness is dependent upon ourselves，and there are some things in life you should always insist on doing，no matter what others have to say about it．Here is a list of some things you should always do．
1．Learn from your mistakes
No matter what people say，you will make mistakes in your life．Life is a learning process in itself．Some people will make you feel bad about your mistakes，or insult（侮辱） you for making them．（37）EAccept your mistakes fully and really figure out what went wrong．
2．Hug change and creativity
A popular proverb is，"You cannot solve a problem in the same state of consciences that created it．"（38）BChange and creativity are vital in today's world．Things are always changing，so why should we be any different？
3．Appreciate what you have
（39）DThis can take away from our happiness．Sometimes you just need to sit back and be happy about where your life is right now，and what you have to show for it．Sure people might tell you it's not good enough，but don't listen to them．It is good enough，and it gives you a sense of pride when you can enjoy the things you already have in life．
4．Listen to your heart
Sometimes you just need to follow your instincts（直覺(jué)） and do what your heart tells you．There are some situations，like relationships，that rely more on your heart than on your head．People will surely tell you differently，but you should always insist on listening to what you want and feel．Again，you are the one who lives with your choices，and you are the one that has to live with the"what ifs．"（40）A

A．Sometimes you just have to follow your heart．
B．Not everything can be solved in a traditional way．
C．However，being dedicated to something will pay off．
D．We can forget to take a step back and enjoy what we have in life．
E．However，don't let that stand in your way from learning from them．
F．To some people your dreams might sound far-fetched，unobtainable，or downright silly．
G．Sometimes we forget how important it is to actually listen to ourselves instead of others．

8．Rapid advances in a new technology will soon transform science fiction into reality--meaning people will have driverless cars，small robots at their command and the ability to experience being in another place without leaving home，predicted Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona，the planet's largest cell phone trade show．
Introduction of books available online，Internet translation of languages and voice recognition for computers all happened much faster than anyone could foresee and that technological research into even more previously unheard of advances is progressing at a fast speed．
"People who predict that holograms（全息圖）and self-driving cars will become reality soon are absolutely right，"Schmidt told thousands of attendees．Research under way will lead to situations where people can put themselves at events like a rock concert so that they can see，hear and even feel the event．And turn down the volume，if it's too loud．
One attendee said she was scared that the possibility could be dehumanizing，but Schmidt replied by holding up his cell phone into the air．"It has an off button and it is here on the right，"Schmidt said．"My point is that it is all about your control．If you don't like my version of a rock concert，I'm not forcing you to go．"In the future，small robots could be used so busy people can send them to events for video and voice transmissions when their presence isn't required，Schmidt said．
Technology in the near future will redefine the relationship among people in the world．"With technology comes power and with power comes choice，and smarter resourceful citizens are going to demand a better deal for their new life，"Schmidt said．
 
28．From the passage，the new technologyD．
A．largely depends on science fiction
B．will eventually replace humans'presence
C．a(chǎn)mazingly improves people's social skills 
D．can unexpectedly bring new various choices
29．Why did Schmidt give the example in Paragraph 4？C
A．To list advantages of the new cell phone．
B．To advise a wider use of the new cell phone．
C．To remove people's worry of the new technology．
D．To compare the benefits of using the new technology．
30．What's the writer's attitude toward rapid advances in technology？A
A．Objective．B．Negative．C．Uncared．D．Contradictory．

13．A woman was caught trying to get her boyfriend out of Puente Ayala prison by packing him in a large suitcase．They almost got away with it，but guards became suspicious after seeing the woman struggling with the suitcase．
25 year-old Souda arrived at the Puente Ayala prison in Barcelona，Venezuela，last weeks，to visit her boyfriend，Jose Antonio，who was serving a sentence of 9 years and 8 months for stealing cars．She had brought their six-year-old daughter and a large pink suitcase，which is common for an overnight stay by family members in South American prison．Little did the guards know that Souda and Jose Antoni were planning to leave the prison together the next day，as a big happy family．
Their plan seemed to go smoothly as the woman carrying the bright pink baggage didn't attract the guards'attention，but it failed when they finally noticed the short woman struggling to pull the seemingly light suitcase out of the door．They stopped Souda and asked her to open the suitcase so they could check its items．Left with no choice but to meet the guards'demand，the woman opened the suitcase to show young Jose Antonio looking like a professional contortionist （專(zhuān)業(yè)柔術(shù)演員）and covered with different clothing items．
Puente Ayala guards sent the car thief back to the prison．Souda has been caught by guards and is waiting for official charges，and the couple's six-year-old daughter，Mary，has been placed in the care of social services．
If only Souda had gone to the gym to improve her strength before going through escaping from prison with her lover，things might have gone differently．

25．The underlined word"suspicious"in Paragraph 1 can be best replaced byB．
A．pleased     B．doubtful     C．worried     D．violent
26．Where did Souda put her husband while leaving the prison？C
A．In a car．

C．In a suitcase．
D．In a bag
27．Mary lives in the care of social services becauseC．
A．she broke the law
B．her parents'marriage has ended
C．her parents are both caught by guards
D．her mother is busy building up her body
