mankind,is universally considered the most valuable personality.It is born within every person's heart,but has to be cultivated(培养)．A person without humour is just like a spring without flowers,or like a dish without seasoning(调味)．In a sense,your personality lies in your sense of humour.Humour can improve physical as well as mental wellbeing.It helps us bear our burdens,reduce our tension,overcome our frustration(挫折)．With a joke,all our worries and sadness disappear like smoke,and we are all full of energy once again.Humour helps us live in harmony(和谐)with others.It is unavoidable to have misunderstanding and tension with others during work and study.But humour can help us solve these problems more quickly than angry words or quarrels.With it you can always keep_on_good_terms_with others.A sense of humour is really one of the keys to happiness.It gives fun and interest to life to make it worth living.Here are five ways to improve your sense of humour.1．Begin to cultivate an atmosphere of humour and laughter in your relationships.2．Start association with humourous,fun loving people.3．Learn to laugh at yourself.4．Collect cartoons and jokes and share them with others.5．Use humour to deal with conflict in your relationships.Remember that a sense of humour is learned,not inherited(遗传)．You can sharpen your sense of humour if you really want

history in February 2002.On Christmas Eve,1992,Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21-year-old donor.Two days before Valentine's Day in 2002,Alfred received a 19-year-old heart,marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.“I'm 15 minutes older than him,but now I'm younger because of my heart and I'm not going to respect him,” Alfred said with a grin(咧嘴笑),pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters,who laughed frequently at their jokes.While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition,they recognized that their eating habits mi ght have also contributed to their heart problems.“We'd put half a pound of butter on a steak.I overdid it on all the food that tasted good,so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly.”The discussion moved to Anthony's recovery.In the five years since his heart transplant,he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles,swam each day,and walked a couple of miles.He was still on medication,but not nearly as much as Alfred,who was just in the early stage of his recovery.“Right now I feel pretty young and I'm doing very we ll,” Anthony said.“I feel like a new person.”Alfred said his goal,of course,was to feel even better than his brother.But,he added,“I love my brother very much.We're very close and I'm sure w e'll do just fine.”60．What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?A．Lifespan. B．Career goals. C．A sense of humour. D．Love for bicycling.61．What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems?A．Exercise. B．Diet. C．Surgery. D．Medicines.62．Why did Alfred say,“I'm 15 minutes older than him,but now I'm younger because of my heart”？A．His heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony's.B．His recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony's.C．His exercise program was better than Anthony's.D．His new heart was younger than Anthony's.63．This article is mainly about ______.A．the danger of heart transplant surgeryB．becoming young by getting a new heartC．the effect of genetics on the heartD．the twin brothers who received heart transplantsCCharles Chaplin,who died in 1977,is considered one of the greatest and funniest actors in the history of the cinema.During his lifetime,he acted in 13 films,and he wrote,directed and acted in 69 other films.Chaplin was born in London in 1889.As a poor boy,he was often seen waiting outside the London theatres,hoping to get work in show business.He could sing and dance,and above all,he knew how to make people laugh.But he couldn't get work and therefore wandered about the city streets.Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five.He broke into show business because his mother,a music-hall performer,lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage,and Charlie went on and sang a well-known song.Halfway through the song a shower of money poured onto the stage.Charlie stopped singing and told audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song.The audiences laughed.This was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin's fabulous career(神话般的生涯)．Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world.His dream came true in the end.Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are mostly silent.The equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed.The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin,as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues.Instead,he continued to make films without dialogue,but he added music,which he wrote himself.It isn't what he says that makes us laugh.His comedy doesn't depend on words.It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people the world over.Chaplin's later films,however,were not well received.Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the last years in Switzerland,where he was buried at Christmas 1977,at the age of eighty-eight.There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.In his book,Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life.He says,“You have to believe in yourself.That's the secret.”64．Chaplin is regarded as king of comedy mainly because ______.A．he acted out the common human situations best in his comedyB．he could sing and dance wellC．he knew how to make people laughD．lots of people have seen his films65．What makes people laugh in Chaplin's films?A．It isn't his words but his actions. B．Neither his words nor actions.C．Either his words or his actions. D．Not only his words but also his actions.66．The only secret of Charles Chaplin's huge success is that ______.A．he can make all people,men and women,old and young laughB．he has full trust in himselfC．he is always active and hard-working all his lifeD．though he is always in trouble,he never loses heart67．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．He was too shy to meet the managers of the theatres.B．People won't stop laughing until tears run down Chaplin's face.C．People all over the world can enjoy Chaplin's films without translation because most of them are silent.D．He wouldn't like to work at the theatre.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Some students wish that they could always see the smiles on their teachers' faces.__68__ Why do teachers seldom smile,especially in class?I believe all the people,including teachers,want to smile in their daily life.Teachers teach us from morning till evening every day,which is very difficult.It is because of teachers' hard work that we students can know a lot about different fields.Nevertheless,some students don't study hard,which makes teachers unhappy.__69__What's more,other students don't listen carefully in class.Instead,they sometimes talk,make faces,look outside or do some other things not related to their study.They don't work hard,and often make teachers angry.Can teachers smile in these cases？Of course not.__70__ The first and most important thing is that you must put your heart and mind in your study.That means you should listen to your teachers carefully in class.Try your best to grasp what is taught in class.__71__ If you have any difficulty,you can turn to your teachers or classmates for help.Last but not the least,try to talk with your teachers in your free time.Also,when your teachers are ill,they need your care.Some of your words may make them smile.__72__A．As a result,teachers can't wear smiles on their faces.B．If you can do as I tell you to,your teachers will then often smile.C．In my opinion,if you want to make teachers smile,you must do the following things.D．However,instead of the smiling faces,they usually see the cold,even freezing faces of teachers.E．Smiles are of great importance to not only us but also our teachers.F．Second,go over what you have learned after class and finish your homework on time.G．Remember to smile at life however hard it is.五、短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文.文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处.每处错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改.增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词.删除：把多余的词用斜线(\划掉.修改：在错的词下划一横线(____),并在该词下面写出修改后的词.注意：1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词；2．只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分.My

became so unhappy that he left the castle and returned to England.No family members ever lived there.二、21.C hear sb doing sth的含义是“听见某人在做某事”；hear后接不带to的不定式作宾语补足语.22. D be close to sb的含义是“与某人关系亲近”,因此答案为“Not particularly.(不是特别亲近)”.23.B prefer“更喜欢”；overcome“克服”；injure“损伤”；shock“使震惊”.此处用overcome 表示“克服了她受伤的情况”.24. B cut off“中断,切断”；cut down“削减,砍倒”；cut in“插嘴”；cut up“切碎”.此处cut down表示“你应该削减开支”.25.B well off表示“富有的”；badly off表示“穷的”.句意：由于引进了现代的农业方法,所以村民们比以前富有了.26.C as if的含义是“好像”；even though＝even if,其含义是“即使”；only if “只要,只有”.由句意知as if为最佳答案.27.A词组star in表示“主演,担任主角”.28.
