What is it that makes people laugh? More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined (定义) jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of triumph(胜利) by showing we're better than someone else in a certain way. According to Aristotle and many other philosophers，all jokes depend mainly on showinginferiorityin another person or group of persons—that is，putting it clearly，on showing that they are worse off than ourselves. Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone else's expense.
Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes. Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us. We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin. The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society. This is probably the reason why some of the jokes，especially those involving cruelty，are so popular with certain people.
Besides，all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because it's different from things which are happening around it. The same situation can be either sad or pleasant，depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is. If a girl in a bathing suit falls into a swimming pool，we don't laugh because nothing unusual has happened. But if a man in a smart suit falls in，the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way
and we laugh. A good joke-teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens，and so we laugh. 24．According to Aristotle，all jokes depend mainly on ________.
A．showing inferiority in another person or group
B．resulting in a sense of success
C．having a good opinion of other people
D．making people laugh unexpectedly
25．The underlined word “inferiority”(in Paragraph 1) means ________. A．something that is not as good as something else
B．something that is better than something else
C．someone that is not as good as someone else
D．someone that is better than someone else
26．What's the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A．Showing we are better than other people is the only one reason we like jokes.
B．When people are angry，they would like to hear jokes.
C．People who like jokes are usually cruel.
D．To express those attitudes usually unacceptable to society is one of the reasons we like jokes. 27．What will a good joke teller always try to do?
A．Make a sad situation into a pleasant one.
B．Make different things happen at the same time.
C．Make an unexpected thing happen in an expected situation.
D．Make people laugh at something unusual and out of place.

Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.
As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with
a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜). Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak! Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup!
28．Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?
A．To earn some money for the family. B．To collect manure for his crops.
C．To get rid of the terrible smell. D．To set a good example to us.
29．What can we infer about Dad’s stew?
A．It is popular among the neighbors. B．It contains honey and vegetables.
C．It looks very wonderful. D．It tastes quite delicious.
30．What does the underlined word “offend”in the last paragraph mean?
A．To attract. B．To upset. C．To air. D．To shut.
31．What can we learn about Dad form the text?
A．He is an experienced cook. B．He is a troublesome father.
C．He has a positive attitude to life. D．He suffers a lot from his disability.
D
I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a
recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
32．What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1? A．Efforts made in vain. B．Getting injured in his work.
C．Feeling uncertain about his future. D．Creatures forced out of their homes. 33．Why was the author called to Muttontown?
A．To rescue a woman. B．To take care of a woman. C．To look at a baby owl. D．To cure a young owl.
34．What made the chick calm down?
A．A new nest. B．Some food. C．A recording. D．Its parents.
35．How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?
A．It’s unexpected. B．It’s beautiful. C．It’s humorous. D．It’s discouraging.

How do actors and actresses memorize hundreds of lines? Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly.
36．
For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals(排练) encourage this by running through the lines or having a"read-through". By the time the opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.
Listen to your cast members
Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. 37．. This will help the actors learn their lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbing.
38．
Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the play's dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene. Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own lines. 39．. Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members, and they
leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.
Think positively and don't panic
Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night. Actors forget lines now and then. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice. If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, don't freeze. Stay in character. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability. If unfortunately, you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again. 40．.
A．Record your lines B．Practice makes perfect C．Read lines loud and repeat them D．Remember the lines in a short time
E. Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization
F. Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines
G. Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times
五、完形填空
The world always makes way for the dreamer
When I was nine years old, I lived in a small town. I found an ad for selling greeting cards
in the back of a children’s magazine. I thought to myself I could do this, so I begged my mother to let me send for the kit (卡片盒). Two weeks later when the kit arrived, I took the cards and ran out of the house. Three hours later, I returned home with no 41 and a pocket full of money. A 42 was born.
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to 43 Zig Ziegler. I remember listening to Mr. Ziegler who raised everyone’s 44 up to the ceiling. I left there feeling like I could do anything.
