Iəs]adj.先前的,以往的欣赏单口喜剧,促进身心健康!人们总是爱笑,幽默无时不在。一种深受人们喜爱的喜剧形式叫做单口喜剧。单口喜剧是一种由一位喜剧演员在舞台上直接与观众交流而表演的喜剧。单口喜剧演员可以拿某一位观众开玩笑,也可以根据观众对他/她之前所讲的笑话的反应随机
应变,讲各种不同的笑话。Typesofstand-upThereareavariety⑨ofdifferentstyles⑩ofstand-upcomedy.Somecomedianstelljokesaboutthewaypeop

举动,或者可能问为什么偏偏在你忘记带雨伞时天会下雨。另外一些喜剧演员依靠视觉幽默。他们的幽默可能是由物品激发的。例如,某个喜剧演员一边拿着个巨大的锤子去砸西瓜,一边以此说着笑话。另一个喜剧演员指着电脑网球游戏说:
“我每天都打网球,已经一个月了。我就是搞不懂体重为什么降不下来!”还有些别的喜剧演员可能玩这些把戏逗笑观众:被椅子绊倒,撞到了房门上,或是跌倒在舞台上。如果你只是听而不看喜剧演员的表演,这种荒唐的幽默就不搞笑了。最后一种喜剧演员做印象模仿——他或她的动作或说话方式都像某
个名人,目的是取笑那人。这种幽默听起来可能有点刻薄,但通常只有当喜剧演员和观众都喜欢或者崇拜这个被打趣的对象时,这种幽默才奏效。AfamouscomedianOnlyafewstand-upcomedians

○34brushinghisteeth为现在分词短语作伴随状语。一位著名的喜剧演员只有为数不多的单口喜剧演员在之后的生涯中成为走红的影视明星。比利·克里斯托就是这样的一个人。与其他转向电影表演的单口喜剧演员一样,克里斯托依然热爱单口喜剧。全世界的观众都喜爱看他主持的奥斯卡颁奖典礼。他已主持了
九届奥斯卡颁奖典礼。每次他都会通过电视直播在数百万观众面前表演他的单口喜剧节目。这里有一个鲜为人知的事实:每次主持奥斯卡颁奖典礼的时候,克里斯托总要在自己的口袋里放一把牙刷以求好运。他说,这是因为在他小时候开始练习单口喜剧时,他站在镜子面前,边刷牙边给自己讲笑话。OnereasonCrystalh

此出名,原因之一就是他思维非常敏捷,常常能就身边的人或事即兴编出笑话来。当克里斯托主持2004年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼时,曾在无声电影中扮演过角色的一位很老的演员上台发言。他讲了几分钟,但由于技术故障,观众中没
有人能够听见他在说些什么。大家只能看见他站在那里,嘴唇动个不停。见此情景,克里斯托放弃了事先准备好的笑话,编了一个新的。他说:“看来,他的确适合从无声电影起家!”观众哄堂大笑。克里斯托深受各年龄段人群的喜爱,他有能力让全世界的人开心。这证明,单口喜剧能得到所有人的喜爱。你可以期
待听到更多比利·克里斯托的单口喜剧——他尚无息影的打算,也没有停止讲笑话的想法。他希望效仿像鲍勃·霍普和乔治·伯恩斯等单口喜剧明星,他们都活到了一百岁,并且一直工作到生命的最后时期。Laughterisgoodforyourhealth!Nowadays,st

脑会向全身传送有益健康的化学物质。笑有助于保持身体健康,甚至能够帮助你战胜疼痛。这个说法或许能够解释像鲍勃·霍普和乔治·伯恩斯这样的人长寿的原因吧。不管是什么原因,研究表明,那句英语格言“笑是灵丹妙药”到头来可能真的没错。所以,行动起来,让别人笑一笑——这或许能够有助于他们(
还有你自己)更长寿。A卷Ⅰ阅读理解AItis7amonagrayThursday,andIamonthetelephonetoagroupofstrangersstrugglingwithexcitedlaughter.Theremustbe20ofthem

ofreadingahardcopybook?A.Itischeaper.B.Itiseasiertocarryaround.C.Ithelpspeoplethinkdeeper.D.Itprovidesinstantinformation.C解析:细节理解题。根据文章第五
段可知,读纸质书能让人更专注、更认真,因此思考更深入。故选C项。10.What’sthebiggestproblemofreadingdigitally?A.Environmentalconcern.B.Physicaldiscomfort.C.Lackofconcentrati
on.D.Internetconnection.C解析:细节理解题。根据文章第六段中的第一句“Butwhatmakesthefailureofelectronicreadingisconcentratio
n.”可知,电子书阅读的最大问题是缺乏专注。故选C项。11.What’stheauthor’sattitudetowardereading?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Unconcerned.B解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三
至六段尤其是最后一段可知,作者认为,如果电子阅读不会影响你阅读的愉悦感和对文本的理解,那么无可厚非。但是读类似乔伊斯的作品时就不是合适的选择了。由此可推测,作者对电子阅读持不赞成的态度。故选B项。12.Howisthepassagemainlydeveloped?A
.Byanalyzingpossiblereasons.B.Byprovidingtypicalexamples.C.Bylistingpracticalsuggestions.D.Bypresentingdirectcompar
isons.D解析:推理判断题。文章的第二段主要讲了电子书的好处,第三段讲了电子书的缺点,第四、五段主要讲了纸质书的益处,第六段讲了电子书的缺点。因此整个文章是通过比较来写作的。故选D项。Ⅱ七选五Everyoneexperiencesunhappytimesonoccasion,butther
