36、ality stakes, nothing is more highly valued than a sense of humor. We seek it out in others and are proud to claim it in ourselves, perhaps even more than good looks or intelligence. If someone has a great sense of humor, we reason, it means that they are happy, socially confident and have a healthy

37、 perspective on life. This attitude would have surprised the ancient Greeks, who believed humor to be essentially aggressive. And in fact, our admiration for the comically gifted is relatively new, and not very well-founded, says Rod Martin, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario. Being

38、 funny isn“t necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being, his research has shown. It may just as likely be a sign of personality flaws. He has found that humor is a double-edged sword. It can forge better relationships and help you cope with life, or it can be corrosive, eating awa

39、y at self-esteem and irritating others. “It“s a form of communication, like speech, and we all use it differently,“ says Martin. We use bonding humor to enhance our social connections, but we also may employ it as a way of excluding or rejecting an outsider. Though humor is essentially social, how y

40、ou use it says a lot about your sense of self.

Similarly, those who are able to view the world with amused tolerance are often equally forgivi

B.It is a feature of a given culture.C.It is a unique gift of human beings.D.It is a result of both nature and nurture.解析：听力原文 What has psychologist Rod Martin found about humor? 解析 文章中提到，罗德马丁认为幽默感是一把双刃剑，即 a double-edged sword，

43、故答案为 A。五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：16.00)Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard. （分数：16.00）A.She is a tourist guide. B.She is an interpreter.C.She is a domestic servant.D.She is from the royal family.解析：听力原文 And now, if you“ll walk this way, ladies and gentlemen, the next room we

44、“re going to see is the room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionally entertain heads of state and royalty. However, they managed to keep this room friendly and intimate and I think you“ll agree it has a very informal atmosphere, quite unlike some grand hous

45、es you visit. The curtains were never drawn, even at night, so guests got a view of the lake and fountains outside, which were lit up at night. A very attractive sight. As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, the guests were seated very informally around this oval table, which would add to the relaxed

46、 atmosphere. The table dates from the eighteenth century and is made of Spanish oak.

However, it seems to have survived like that for two hundred years, so it“s probably going to last

47、a bit longer. The chairs which go with the table are not a complete setthere were originally six of them. They are interesting for the fact that they are very plain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at the back and no arm-rests. I myself find them rather uncomfortable t

48、o sit in for very long, but people were used to more discomfort in the past. And now, ladies and gentlemen, if you“d like to follow me into the Great Hall. What do we learn about the speaker? 解析 本题解题的关键是首句中出现的关键词 ladies and gentlemen，这是一句引起大家注意的提示词，并且接下来还介绍了一个房间的历史特点，故得知该演讲者是一名导游，因此答案为 A。A.It is sit

49、uated at the foot of a beautiful mountain.B.It was used by the family to hold dinner parties. C.It was frequently visited by heads of state.D.It is furnished like one in a royal palace.解析：听力原文 What does the speaker say about the room they are visiting? 解析 文章首句提到该房间过去曾经举办过正式的晚宴，有时也招待国家首脑和皇室贵族，故答案为B。A.It is elaborately decorated.B.It has survived some 2,000 years.C.It is very big, with only six slim legs.
