語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章講述了良好的幽默感能夠使人減少得病的幾率。

1.Whatdoesthepassagemainlytalkabout?

A.Peoplewithagoodsenseofhumourgetsicklessoften.

B.humourcanreducethefrequencyofcolds/flu.

C.Anyformofhumourcanpreventpeoplefromgettingsick.

D.humourcantreatillness.

解析：選A主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章講述了良好的幽默感能夠使人減少得病

的幾率。

2.Accordingtothepassage,IgAis.

A.amedicineB.anenzyme

C.afactorD.ameasure

解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知，唾液中的IgA含量高就會使人少生

病，由此推斷IgA應是一種可以抵抗疾病的酶。

3.Whydonewborninfantswhosemothersusehumourtodealwithstresshavefewer

infections?

A.Becausetheydon'toftengetupperrespiratoryinfections.

B.Becausetheyarestrongersincetheywerebom.

C.PossiblybecauseofthehigherlevelsofimmunoglobulinAintheirmothers'breastmilk.

D.Becausetheirmotherstakebettercareofthem.

解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。第三段最后一句Thisseemedtobebecausethesemothershad

higherlevelsofimmunoglobulinA（免疫球蛋白A）intheirbreastmilk.說明了原因。

4.Studentswithsomebadbodilysymptomsshowtowardshumour.

A.apositiveattitudeB.anegativeattitude

C.aneutralattitudeD.anunclearattitude

解析:選B細節(jié)理解題。文章最后一段告訴我們對待幽默的消極反應會體現(xiàn)在身體上，

比如說，胃腸不適等。因此有不好的身體癥狀的學生對待幽默的態(tài)度是消極的。

語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者許多年前是一位心理醫(yī)生，他碰到了失去父母的大衛(wèi)。

大衛(wèi)拒絕跟任何人講話。大衛(wèi)第三次來找作者的時候作者提議他們一起下象棋，于是以后的

每周三下午他們兩個都會在沉默中一起下象棋。終于有一天，大衛(wèi)開口說話了，從此以后大

衛(wèi)開啟了新的生活。作者也從這次經(jīng)歷中學到了很多。

I.A.happilyB.friendly

C.nervouslyD.excitedly

解析：選C根據(jù)前文Davidsfacewaspale可知，大衛(wèi)臉色蒼白，這說明他很緊張。

2.A.willingB.waiting

C.refusingD.longing

解析：選C根據(jù)后文Thefirsttwotimeswemet,Daviddidn'tsayaword.可知，頭兩次

見面時大衛(wèi)一句話也沒說，這說明他拒絕說話。

3.A.butB.because

C.orD.unless

解析：選A根據(jù)前文HedidnTshrinkback可知，他沒有退縮；根據(jù)后文hedidntlook

atmeeither可知，他也沒有看我一眼。由此判斷前后文為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

4.A.hesitatedB.cheered

C.relaxedD.regretted

解析：選A根據(jù)后文ThenIsaidJTknowithurts."可知，我對大衛(wèi)說“我知道這令人難

過”，再結(jié)合前文可知，大衛(wèi)失去了父母，不愿意說話，我這么說可能會觸及他的傷心處，

所以猶豫了一下。

5.A.announcedB.expected

C.suggestedD.ordered

解析：選C根據(jù)后文Henodded.可知，他點頭說明下象棋是我提出來的，大衛(wèi)點頭是

同意了我的建議。

6.A.equalityB.silence

C.libertyD.independence

解析：選B根據(jù)后文Untilsomemonthslater,suddenly,helookedupatme,"It'syour

11_,hesaid.Afterthatday,Davidstarted12.可知,大衛(wèi)在幾個月之后才開口說話，這

說明在這之前他都沒和我說話，我們是在沉默中下象棋的，故選B項。最后一段中的without

anywords亦是提示。

7.A.exerciseB.move

C.restD.contact

解析：選D根據(jù)后文的thoughheneverlookedatme可知，下象棋時大衛(wèi)從不看我，

這說明下象棋時我和他沒有眼神上的接觸交流。

8.A.confusedB.challenged

C.wonD.fought

解析：選C根據(jù)Ifsnoteasytocheatinchess可知，下棋時作弊并不容易，這說明我下

棋時作弊了，結(jié)合語境可知，作為大人我的棋藝肯定好一些，所以我作弊應該是為了讓大衛(wèi)

贏得象棋比賽。

9.A.companyB.request

C.talentD.chess

解析：選A我和大衛(wèi)一起下象棋對于大衛(wèi)來說是一種陪伴。

10.A.heardB.witnessed

C.forgotD.sensed

解析：選D根據(jù)前文Itseemedasifheenjoyedmy9,thoughheneverlookedatme.

可知，大衛(wèi)很喜歡和我在一起，原因有可能就是大衛(wèi)感覺到了我尊重他的苦楚。

11.A.dutyB.achievement

C.turnD.luck

解析：選C結(jié)合語境可知，下象棋是要輪流落棋子的，所以大衛(wèi)對我說“輪到你了”。

12.A.talkingB.living

C.listeningD.growing

解析：選A根據(jù)前文“t，syour_U_，"hesaid可知，大衛(wèi)開口說話了，所以那天

之后，他開始說話了。

13.A.anythingB.something

C.nothingD.everything

解析：選B結(jié)合語境可知，這里要表達的是也許我給過大衛(wèi)某種東西。

14.A.jumpB.reach

C.pickD.look

解析：選B結(jié)合語境可知，我通過下象棋而不是談話幫助了大衛(wèi)。reachouttosb.為固

定搭配，意為“對……伸出援手'符合語境。

15.A.sofaB.topic

C.reasonD.shoulder

解析：選D一個擁抱，一次友好的撫摸，一種同情的本性以及一個聆聽的耳朵都是跟

人有關(guān)，以此類推，哭泣時可以依靠的應該是人的肩膀.
