Unit 2 The Olympic Games
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2017·吉林省部分学校高三模拟)Before I studied psychology,I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred.While I was right about that,I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke.When someone laughs at a joke,there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are,the more powerful the joke will be.
I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt,and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets,everyone laughed their hearts out.The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt anger toward pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.The joke wasn't only funny;it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians.That is,people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.
The better a joke makes a person feel,and the more it includes other psychological factors,the more the person will like it.For example,if you envy one of your friends,and someone tells a joke that is funny and,at the same time,makes your friend seem stupid,then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren't jealous of him.
In short,we don't laugh only when we hear something funny;we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke.I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person's emotions,he will certainly like it a lot.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。作者学习心理学后发现,除了笑话本身,还有很多心理因素会促使人们发笑。
1.What did the author find out after studying psychology? A.Only good jokes make people laugh. B.Many factors lead to people laughing. C.Funny things can make people laugh. D.Laughter can make people healthy.

part of a joke.”可知,作者学习了心理学后发现,除了笑话本身之外,还有很多心理因素会促使人们发笑。]
2.Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians? A.They played a trick on the pedestrians. B.The pedestrians behaved in a funny way. C.They could feel the pedestrians' happiness. D.Their emotion was approved of by the show.
D [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt anger toward pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly”可知,人们大笑的主要原因是几乎所有人都对那些粗心过马路的行人感到愤怒,再根据本段中的“people were laughing...because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got”可知,人们大笑一方面是因为笑话本身好笑,另一方面是因为他们这种愤怒的情感在独白喜剧表演中得到了认可。]
3.What does the underlined word“belittling” probably mean? A.Annoy. C.Look down on.
B.Blame. D.Make up to.
C [词义猜测题。根据文章内容以及画线词前面的“I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or”可知,画线词的感情色彩应与make fun of“取笑”一致,故belittle的意思是“贬低,轻视”,故选C。]
4.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2 ③=Paragraph 3 ④=Paragraph 4) B [篇章结构题。本文第一段引出论点,第二段和第三段分别举了一个例子来进行论证,第四段的“In short”表明本段是总结段,故文章的结构是总(第一段)→分(第二段、第三段)→总(第四段)。]
Ⅱ.阅读填句
(2017·湖南省东部六校高三联考)
How can I get self-motivation?
When you are feeling less than motivated,it can be easy to fall behind on your work,personal life and aspirations.When this mood strikes,it is important to dig deep down and find a way to pull yourself through it to become the self-motivated person that you long to be.
1. For example,if your final goal is to do a 5k run,make running a half mile without stopping your first level of achievements.It doesn't have to be achieved all at once,but little by little.When you feel that you have fully reached

your first level,move on to the next.Having an final goal,and setting steps to get there,can help you have mini achievements.2.
When you want to reach a certain goal,it often helps to imagine already achieving it.You may be able to be more self-motivated if you keep track of your progress.3. Put one picture on the top of each page,and underneath,write what you did to reach that goal.If there are too few words on the page,it may be time to step up your efforts.
Special quotations can be a good way to inspire self-motivation.Find a quote that moves you and inspires you in a way that no other set of words has before. 4. Look at it on a daily basis,and use it as a way to inspire you to be more self-motivated.
5. Even on days when your motivation is lacking,there are ways that you can do what you need to do.If you want to be more self-motivated,it takes a lot of sweat and drive,but it can eventually produce the results that you are longing for.
A.This practice can increase your drive to keep on going. B.It is you that have to motivate yourself to achieve your goal. C.Consider setting different levels of achievements for yourself.
D.If possible,turn those words into an art print and hang it in your home. E.Consider creating a journal with pictures of what you want to accomplish. F.An important way to be self-motivated is to push forward to get what you want. G.Being self-motivated can be difficult at times,but the effort usually reaps the rewards.
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了如何进行自我激励。
1.C [本段讲述了把目标分成一个一个的小部分,一点一点地实现目标。所以本处选“考虑为自己设置不同水平的目标”,符合语境。故选C。]
2.A [由前一句“有了终极目标并一步一步地去实现它,这能够让你取得一些小的成就”可知,本处选“这种做法会增加你前进的动力”顺承上文,符合语境。故选A。]
3.E [根据空后一句中的“one picture”可知,E项符合语境。]
4.D [本段讲述了用格言激励自己。D项“可能的话,把这些格言变成艺术字悬挂在你家里”与下文“每天看它来激励自己”衔接,符合语境。故选D。]
5.G [最后一段进行总结。G项“有时自我激励会很难,但是努力通常会有回报”与下文的“最终会有你想要的结果”呼应,符合语境。故选G。]

【语篇解读】 校园暴力这一现象引起了老师和家长的关注。本文介绍了校园暴力形成的原因以及阻止校园暴力的方法。
1.expressed [考查时态。根据该句中的“showed”可知,该句叙述的是发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时,故填expressed。]
2.the [考查冠词。the whole society意为“全社会”,为固定用法,故填the。] 3.calls [考查时态和主谓一致。分析该句结构可知,该句为定语从句,which指代“a phenomenon”,故谓语动词应用第三人称单数;由“I think this is”可知,应用一般现在时,故填calls。]
4.to prevent [考查动词不定式。我们应当尽一切努力来阻止校园暴力的发生。make every effort to do sth.为固定搭配,故此处应用动词不定式作宾补。]
5.safety [考查名词。根据空处前的“their personal”可知,空处应填名词safety。] 6.Actually [考查副词。分析该句结构可知,空处修饰全句,作状语,故用副词actually。]
7.what [考查宾语从句。分析该句结构可知,空处引导宾语从句,且在从句中作“see”的宾语,故用what。]
8.more [考查比较级。句意:如果我遇到校园暴力,我不会以暴制暴,因为这会导致更多的打斗。根据句意可知,空处应使用比较级。]
