Maeve Higgins nce set herself a task. The Irish-brn cmedian wanted t see what life wuld be like if she stpped laughing at things that weren’t funny. Turns ut it wasn’t as easy as she thught. “It was s hard,” she says. “ Laughter is a lubricant (润滑油) and is expected, and it’s really hard nt t d it.”
Higgins suggests there’s smething particularly special abut being part f the shared experience that is live cmedy — that curius magic that ccurs when peple cme tgether specifically t laugh.
Cmedy is mre than just a pleasant way t pass an evening, humur mre than smething t amuse. They’re interwven int ur everyday existence. Whether yu’re sharing an amusing stry at a party r telling a dark jke at a funeral, humur is everywhere. But what is it fr? And can humur, as cmedy, change hw we feel, what we think r even what we d?
As an essential part f human interactin, humur has been n the minds f thinkers fr centuries. One f the mst enduring theries f humur was put frward by the philspher Thmas Hbbes. It asserts that humur appears t make fun f the weak and exert superirity. While this is clearly the functin f sme cmedy, it’s far frm a cmplete explanatin fr the verall purpse f humur.
Fr sme cmedians, it’s nt just abut getting laughs — it’s abut changing what we think and maybe even what we d. If there’s ne cmic wh is really typical f this, it’s Jsie Lng. A scial justice activist and a cmedian, Lng has a reputatin fr delightful, ptimistic humur and strytelling.
As her career has evlved, she has cnsciusly put scial and plitical tpics at the heart f her act. She believes that cmedians have a rle t play in challenging sme f the mst pressing issues f the day.
British cmic Stephen K Ams sells ut venues seating thusands, year in, year ut. Ams firmly believes that when cmics cnsciusly deal with pressing r cntrversial （有争议的）scial issues like racism, they can reach peple n a much mre meaningful level than that achieved by briefly lifting smene’s md. And while it may be difficult t quantify, he says, the scial and psychlgical impact f cmedy deserves much greater recgnitin.
The research backs this up. Althugh the rle f cmedy is t be entertaining first and fremst, Sharn Lckyer, a scilgist wh studies humur, has identified a number f pssible ther functins. These include challenging steretypes (刻板印象).
Ams’s wrk frequently settles the issues f race by challenging steretypes.”I dn’t d things fr shck value,” he says. “ I d stuff that matters t me. In the ld days it was just abut ding jkes. We’ve mved n — peple are talking abut things that matter. ”
【译文欣赏】
梅芙·希金斯曾给自己设定过一项任务。这位出生于爱尔兰的喜剧演员想要看看，如果她不再对那些并不有趣的事情发笑，生活会变成什么样。结果发现，这远不像她想象的那么容易。“这太难了，”她说道，“笑是一种润滑剂（起促进作用），是人们自然而然就会有的行为，而真的不去笑却很难做到。”
希金斯认为，参与现场喜剧这种共享体验有其特别之处——当人们特意聚在一起为了欢笑时，就会产生那种奇妙魔力。
喜剧不仅仅是愉快地度过一个夜晚的方式，幽默也不仅仅是用来逗乐的东西。它们与我们的日常生活紧密交织在一起。无论是在聚会上分享一个有趣的笑话，还是在葬礼上讲一个黑暗的笑话，幽默无处不在。但幽默的目的是什么？幽默作为一种喜剧形式，是否能够改变我们的感受、我们的想法甚至我们的行为呢？
作为人类交流的重要组成部分，幽默在思想家们的心中已经存在了几个世纪。哲学家托马斯·霍布斯提出的关于幽默的最持久的理论认为，幽默似乎是在取笑弱者并彰显优越性。虽然这显然是某些喜剧所具有的功能，但它远不足以全面解释幽默的总体目的。
对于一些喜剧演员来说，这不仅仅是为了制造笑点——更重要的是改变我们的想法，甚至影响我们的行为。如果说有哪位喜剧演员能很好地体现这一点，那就是乔西·朗。她既是社会正义活动家，也是喜剧演员，朗以其令人愉快、积极向上的幽默和讲故事的才能而闻名。
随着她的事业不断发展，她有意识地将社会和政治话题置于表演的核心位置。她认为，喜剧演员在挑战当今一些最紧迫的问题方面可以发挥重要作用。
英国喜剧演员斯蒂芬·K·阿莫斯年复一年地让数千名观众爆满座无虚席。阿莫斯坚信，当喜剧演员有意识地处理诸如种族主义等紧迫或有争议的社会问题时，他们能够以一种比短暂提升某人情绪更能产生深远影响的方式与人们产生联系。虽然这种影响可能难以量化，但他表示，喜剧的社会和心理影响值得得到更多的认可。
研究也证实了这一点。尽管喜剧的主要作用在于娱乐观众，但研究幽默现象的社会学家莎伦·洛克耶尔却指出，喜剧还有其他一些潜在的功能。其中包括挑战刻板印象。
阿莫斯的作品常常通过挑战刻板印象来解决种族问题。他说：“我做事不是为了追求刺激效果，而是做那些对我有意义的事情。过去只是搞些笑话而已。我们已经进步了——人们开始谈论真正重要的事情了。”

命题特点
推理判断题是阅读理解中难度较大的题型。它不仅要求考生理解文章的字面意思，还要对文章的表面信息进行挖掘，将作者在文中没有直接说出的意思通过对细节上的暗示和语篇逻辑关系的分析，做出一定判断和推理，从而得出文章的深层意义和隐含意义。推理判断题在高考中占比很重，经常达到4-8题甚至以上，包括隐含意义推断题、观点态度推断题、文章出处或写作对象、目的意图推断题和下文预测推断题。
命题规律1.文中长复合句、特殊句型处常考2.语言转折和强对比处常考3.对文章中心思想处常考
推理判断题解题思维
1. 理解文章的字面意思，从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索，打好推理判断的基础。
2. 对文字的表面信息由浅入深地进行挖掘，通过分析、综合、判定等，进行合乎逻辑的推断。不能断章取义，以偏概全，局限于肤浅的表面意思。
3. 忠实于原文，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据进行合理推断。不能主观臆想，凭空想象，随意揣测，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点;
4. 把握句间、段之间的逻辑关系，了解语篇的结构和体裁。体会文章的基 调，揣摸作者的态度，感悟文章
的逻辑发展，揣摩作者的弦外之音。
注意：推理判断题要在阅读理解整体语篇的基础上，把握文章的真正内涵。推理时我们务必要忠于原文，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，准确理解文中的已知部分，再结合语境和常识推论出未知部分和作者的言外之意。
推理判断题干扰项特征
1. 主观臆断：根据现实生活常识推断。虽然符合考生的常识，但文中并没有支撑的依据。
2. 过度推断：作者并未做出评论，只是客观的陈述事实，考生进行了过度的解读和推断。
3. 以细节代替推断：将文章中出现的文中无关紧要或片面推出的结论，如某一处细节当作合理推断，实则是原文信息的简单重复，并不是推断出来的结论。
4. 无中生有：在解题时将自己的观点或社会的一种普遍性倾向而文中并无关系的观点当成作者的观点。实际上真正的答案在文章中并不能直接找到，会进行词汇的替换。

Passage 2
（24-25高二下·江苏南京·期中）The first time my imprv (即兴表演) teacher called me t act ut a scene, my thrat tightened and my visin blurred (模糊). Perfrming silly scenes in frnt f thers made my anxiety sht thrugh the rf. Every time I tried t imprvise, I frze. I swre everyne culd hear my racing heartbeat, and I kept trying t frce myself t relax instead f fcusing n the scene. Fr weeks, I fught against my anxiety. I’d get angry at myself fr feeling nervus during smething “fun”, trying t ignre the butterflies in my stmach. But psychlgists nw say that apprach was wrng — sme anxiety can actually be helpful.
The Yerkes-Ddsn Curve, a well-knwn psychlgy cncept, explains this. When anxiety is t high, peple underperfrm, because they might be s wrried. When it’s t lw, they als suffer, because they might be s relaxed. “There’s a middle zne where anxiety becmes useful,” says Dr. Shannn Sauer-Zavala frm the University f Kentucky. “It signals, ‘This matters — pay attentin and prepare.’”
Psychlgist Dennis-Tiwary writes in her bk Future Tense that when her sn was diagnsed with a heart cnditin as a baby, anxiety and wrry intensified her effrts t get him help. “Wrry pushed me t figure ut hw t maximize the chances f a successful surgery,” she writes. Her mind racing, she read academic articles abut her sn’s cnditin, made lists f questins fr his dctrs and searched cmmunity frums fr infrmatin. “In the end,” she writes, “it was the wrry that helped us get thrugh.”
Anxiety can be a frm f caring, f ur minds highlighting what matters. It tells us that accmplishing ur gals will require effrts, and it pushes us t think abut what effrts, exactly, we shuld take. It mtivates us t take actin. In sme studies, peple wh felt anxius came up with mre and better slutins t prblems than thse wh felt calm. In ther wrds, yu shuldn’t want t live cmpletely free f anxiety, because yu need sme anxiety t get things dne.

A．He felt relaxed by fcusing n the scene.
B．Nervus, he frgt his imprv cmpletely.
C．With his heart racing, he tried t calm dwn.
D．He felt annyed at being called t imprvise.
2．Accrding t the Yerkes-Ddsn Curve, hw des anxiety affect ne’s perfrmance?
A．The higher anxiety is, the better ne’s perfrmance is.
B．T lw anxiety leads t ne’s suffering mental health.
C．Balanced anxiety betters ne’s attentin and preparatins.
D．A middle zne makes anxiety useful t ne’s perfrmance.
3．What des the underlined wrd “intensified” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Pursued.B．Fueled.C．Cncentrated.D．Cmbined.
4．What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?

Passage 3
（24-25高二下·湖南邵阳·期中）A new study by Japanese researchers cncludes that listening t sad music may actually cntribute t psitive emtins. Researchers say the findings help t explain why peple enjy listening t sad music.
Ai Kawakami and the clleagues frm Tky University f the Arts and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute asked 44 vlunteers, including bth musicians and nn-specialists, t listen t tw pieces f sad music and ne piece f happy music.

Accept yurself. Yu knw that nbdy is perfect. 2 When talking abut the “negatives”, it’s extremely imprtant t knw which parts f yurself can be changed and which can’t.
