2019-2020年高考英语北师大版一轮复习课时作业：语言朋友（66）Dr.Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September xx.It is the largest study of humour.Participants(参加者)are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favourite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the worlds funniest joke.But there is also a serious purpose.The researches want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny.And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour.The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.This is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers.Most of the time, people are not pletely honest.We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want.But laughing cannot be controlled.When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.By December xx over 10，000 jokes had been submitted.This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions.It seems that men and women do have different senses of humour, for instance.“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humour, ” said Dr.Wiseman.“Males use humour to appear superior to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humour.The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humour”But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “Youre a high priced lawyer.Will you answer two questions for $500？” “Yes.Whats the second question？”The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humour.But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality.Perhaps that proves the point.Is this joke funny? I dont know, but lets say yes, just to be safe.Dr.Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by puter.But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing.Perhaps this is reliefputers already seem like they can do everything.At least they should leave the funny stuff to us.解题导语：研究者建立了“笑声实验室”，收集了许多笑话并分析了男性与女性之间、不同国家或民族之间幽默的不同点。1Scientist started “the laugh lab” project_Ato find the funniest joke in European countriesBto know what funny people are like from different nations and culturesCto find out the differences between the male and female sense of humourDto get more personal details about participants解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour.”可知他们要找出女性和男性对于幽默感的不同，故选C。答案：C2We can infer from the passage that_Amost of the people all over the world are pletely honestBpsychologists and philosophers take interest in the “laugh lab” projectCordinary people are not interested in “the laugh lab” project at allDpeople tell the truth about themselves only when they laugh解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“This is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers.”可推知选B。答案：B3According to the passage, we can safely say that _.Ajokes created by puter are less appealing to peopleBmen and women have similar senses of humourCthe project lasted from September, xx to December, xxDscientists have collected enough evidence to make final conclusions解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“Dr.Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by puter.But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing.”可知由计算机制造的笑话不吸引人，故选A。答案：A4The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans_Ato show that French people have a better sense of humourBto prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humour”Cto show people from different nations have different senses of humourDto prove that the Germans have no sense of humour解析：细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知不同的国家有不同的幽默感，故选C。答案：C5What is the best title for the passage?AFunny or not?BLaugh louder!CMen laugh better.DWatch out for the trap in jokes!解析：主旨归纳题。根据全文可知，幽默因性别、国家不同而不同，没有定性，故选A最合适。答案：A语法填空From ancient up to now, festivals and celebrations of all kinds are held everywhere.The hunters 6._ (starve) if they couldnt find food, so they celebrated when they had food.Some festivals are held 7._ (honour) the dead, or satisfy and please the ancestors, 8._ could return either to help or to do harm.On the other hand, festivals can be held as 9._ honour to famous people or to gods, such as Columbus Day in USA, in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America.In India there is a national festival 10._ October 2 to honour Mahandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain Indias 11._ (independent) from Britain.Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events.People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter, 12._ because a season of agricultural work is over.Chinese New Year is an 13._ (energy) and important festival.People look forward to 14._ (dress) up, eating dumplings, giving children lucky money in red paper, and playing dragon dances.The celebration of the Lunar New Year may take place throughout the country, day and night for 15._ is the most important festival in China.解题导语：本文介绍了一些重要节日的意义。6解析：在if引导的条件状语从句中，主句要用将来时，且由从句的couldnt可知主句用would。答案：would starve7解析：不定式作目的状语。答案：to honour8解析：非限制性定语从句的先行词是人，且在从句中作主语，故用who引导。答案：who9解析：表示“作为对的一种敬重”，表泛指，且honour的读音是以元音音素开头，故用an。答案：an10解析：表示在具体某天用on。答案：on11解析：用independent的名词形式作宾语。答案：independence12解析：and连接两个并列的原因状语从句。答案：and13解析：形容词作定语。答案：energetic14解析：look forward to 意为“期盼，盼望”，to 为介词，后接ving形式。答案：dressing15解析：指代the Lunar New Year。答案：it
