However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.‎ Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.‎ Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.‎ Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了幽默、大笑和玩耍给人们的健康带来的好处。‎ ‎1．What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A．Playing an important role.‎ B．Keeping people in high spirits.‎ 15‎ C．Quickly influencing other people.‎ D．Preventing illness from spreading.‎ C　解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段第四句“When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness.”可知，当人们分享笑容时，人们的关系更亲密，人们也会更加快乐。故infectious的意思为“迅速影响其他人”。‎ ‎2．What can laughter increase according to the author?‎ A．Cognitive ability.‎ B．Good relationships.‎ C．A sense of humor.‎ D．Happiness and trust.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness...and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.”可知，在作者看来大笑能使人们之间的关系更亲密。‎ ‎3．What does the author think the old should do?‎ A．They should have a good rest.‎ B．They should play like children.‎ C．They should prevent cognitive falling.‎ D．They should take part in physical play.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四句“However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness.”可知，作者认为老年人应该参与身体活动。‎ ‎4．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ A．Humor, Laughter and Play for Health B．Always Keep Our Body Healthy C．Have an Active and Happy Life D．Let Our Body and Mind Relax A　解析：标题归纳题。根据最后一段“Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages.

Is that you？” The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. “Marci？” I asked. “It is you！” she cried out, smiling broadly. “It’s good to see you again！”‎ It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I’ve wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really a surprise.‎ We spent a few minutes talking about our lives—the good old and bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. “You know, Joe，” she said, “I’ve always wanted to tell you how...how...sorry I am for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally.” It was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her. “It’s OK，” I said, “No big deal！” “But I was such a jerk，” she continued. “Yes, you were，” I thought. “We were both pretty young，” I smiled. “I know，” she said. “It’s just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And I’ve wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.” The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief. “OK，” I said. “Apology accepted！” Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been and she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.‎ It isn’t enough to just say “I’m sorry” and “You’re forgiven”. But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bring peace to an injured soul—even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。“我”在棒球赛场见到了多年未见的朋友Marci。她见到“我”后为以前那样对待“我”向“我”真诚地道歉，“我”立刻原谅了她。之后“我们”都感到温暖和愉快。‎ ‎5．What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?‎ A．Happy.　　　　　　　　　 B．Busy.‎ C．Hard. D．Simple.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“I almost tried to search for her a few 15‎ ‎ years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci.”可知，在20世纪90年代Marci生活得很艰难，故C项正确。‎ ‎6．What does the underlined word “jerk” in the third paragraph mean?‎ A．A humorous person. B．A cruel person.‎ C．A careless person. D．An honest person.‎ B　解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词下文中的“It’s just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you.”可知，当时她对“我”很刻薄，这件事一直困扰着她，再结合画线词所在句可知，她认为自己是一个刻薄的人；据此可知，画线词与B项含义相近，故B项正确。‎ ‎7．Why did Marci look in relief after talking with the author?‎ A．Because her favorite team won the game.‎ B．Because she learned Joe was living a good life.‎ C．Because she made an apology to the author.‎ D．Because she found she was not mean any longer.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘...And I’ve wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.’ The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief.”可知，由于Marci向“我”真诚地道了歉，所以她的眼里露出了轻松，故C项正确。‎ ‎8．What might be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Excitement of a Baseball Game B．Mental Burden of a Woman C．Miracles of Forgiveness D．Relief of Finding a Friend C　解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章最后两句为全文的主题句；结合全文内容可知，本文通过讲述“我”接受朋友Marci的真诚道歉，体会到原谅可以抚慰受伤的心灵的故事，说明了原谅创造的奇迹，故C项最适合作为本文标题。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 ‎(2020·兰州高三诊断)When I was a kid, my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire.

It can be even scarier when you’re a young little blue penguin(企鹅), the tiniest of the penguin species. Luckily, there are some humans willing to help. They stepped in to protect Billy, a blue penguin that appeared on a beach in Christchurch, New Zealand.‎ 15‎ Spotted on November 29 at the slipway at Moncks Bay, near Sumner, in Christchurch, the little penguin immediately attracted a small crowd. Jeff Mein Smith saw the crowd while he was bicycling that afternoon, and he biked home to get his camera. When he returned to the scene, he found that the penguin had received a little sign, one that read “Hi, I’m waiting for my mum to come back. DOC(Department of Conservation) knows I’m here. Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away. Thanks, Billy the baby blue penguin.”‎ Billy didn’t move away from the sign. The DOC arrived later that afternoon to pick up Billy, though they were surprised to see it on the beach. “It’s unusual for a blue penguin to be out in the open on the beach during the day，” Anita Spencer, a DOC senior ranger, told Stuff.‎ Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach. Volunteers believe the bird may actually be a female penguin, and is around 2 months old. The chick weighs a mere 550 grams, less than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age. Most little penguins grow up to weigh 1 kilogram.‎ The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice, before it’s set free into the ocean.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要讲述了一只小蓝企鹅在人们的帮助下最终得救的故事。‎ ‎1．Why can the world be frightening to a young penguin?‎ A．It is a rare species.‎ B．It faces potential danger.‎ C．It is surrounded by the crowd.‎ D．It is threatened by dogs.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段，尤其是倒数第二、三句“Please leave me alone. Keep your dog away.”可知，当时有人在那只小蓝企鹅旁边竖立了一个牌子警示人们不要打扰它，不要让狗靠近它。由此可推知，对于那只小蓝企鹅来讲，这个世界是可怕的，因为它面临着一些潜在的危险。故B项正确。‎ ‎2．It can be inferred from the text that Billy________．‎ A．is a female penguin B．has expressed its thanks C．weighs less for its age D．prefers living on the beach C　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The chick weighs a mere 550 grams, less 15‎ ‎ than a standard basketball. A blue penguin should weigh around 900 grams at this age.”可知，这只小蓝企鹅体重只有550克，而处于它这个年龄的小蓝企鹅的体重应达到900克左右。由此可推知，这只小蓝企鹅的体重低于它这个年龄的小蓝企鹅的体重。故C项正确。‎ ‎3．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “retrieved” in Paragraph 4?‎ A．Ignored.　　　　　　　　 B．Cured.‎ C．Given away. D．Brought back.‎ D　解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句“Billy was taken to the Christchurch Penguin Rehabilitation Center after being retrieved from the beach.”可知，这只小蓝企鹅是从沙滩上被带到克赖斯特彻奇的一个企鹅康复中心的。由此可推知，画线词与brought back “带回”意思相近。故D项正确。‎ ‎4．What will happen to Billy in the center?‎ A．It will be reported to Stuff.‎ B．It will be visited by the locals.‎ C．It will be taken good care of.‎ D．It will be fed with fruit juice.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“The center will help the little penguin gain some weight by feeding it fish juice, before it’s set free into the ocean.”可知，在这只小蓝企鹅被放回海洋之前，康复中心会帮助它增加一些体重。由此可推知，在那个企鹅康复中心里，这只小蓝企鹅会得到很好的照顾。故C项正确。‎ B ‎(2020·佛山高三调研)I was selfish as a teenager. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college. I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didn’t change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith, it was only to increase my own happiness.‎ I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me. ‎ Still, I didn’t give up on happiness, I knew that there must be a way to find 15‎ ‎ it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: It is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.‎ Carolyn Arends wrote：“The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets. The more love you get, the more love you have to give. It just keeps growing.” So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述作者由一个自私的人成长为一个心中对他人有爱的人，也明白了“爱他人即幸福”的道理的经历。‎ ‎5．What do we know about the author form the first paragraph?‎ A．He often helped his brother with housework.‎ B．He studied hard for his family.‎ C．He put his own needs above others’．‎ D．He was concerned about his family.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“let my older brother do most of the work” “let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems” “This didn’t change even when I went to college either” “I studied hard but only to make my own life better.”和“it was only to increase my own happiness” 的描述可推知，作者在青少年时期较为自私，行为处事总是只考虑自己，几乎不为家人考虑，即他把自己的需要放在别人的需要之上。故选C项。‎ ‎6．What did the author realize after he suffered in life?‎ A．Spoiled people can’t survive the hardship of life.‎ B．Life is cruel to spoiled people.‎ C．Spoiled people are never happy in life.‎ D．Selfishness is helpful.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people.”可知，作者在经历了人生的失意后，终于发现生活对被宠坏的人是残酷的。‎ ‎7．What can be inferred from the passage?‎ 15‎ A．The author loved kids.‎ B．The author often fed his baby.‎ C．The author realized the importance of happiness.‎ D．When caring for his baby, the author got inspired.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes.
