3 . The comedy genre has drawn laughs from audiences since the early 1900s and the birth of moving pictures. Comedy films lighten moods and allow audiences to escape from reality and lose themselves in humor. The format of the comedy genre is either comedian-led or a humorous description. A variety of subgenres exists within the comedy genre, all of which make people laugh, but each includes different characteristics slightly changing the overall tone of the film.

Slapstick’s (打闹剧) origins are firmly rooted in the silent movies of the early 20th century. This type of comedy relies heavily on overplayed visual action and uses harmless violence to raise laughter. Timing and polished performance skills are vital to effective slapstick. The name slapstick comes from the wooden sticks that clowns slapped together to draw laughter. Laure l and Hardy, Abbot and Costello and Harold Lloyd are famous actors of slapstick comedy.

The mid-1930s saw the coming of screwball comedies (怪诞剧). This subgenre typically features satirical (讽刺的) views of society combined with crazy, energetic action accurately timed. Screwball comedies make fun of society and use satirical ways to explore romantic conflicts whereby the usually upper class male suffers disorder and chaos in his life at the hands of a socially mismatched female. The film involves a happy settlement of differences between the male and female characters. Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn play their screwball comedy roles to perfection in Bringing Up Baby.

Romantic comedy (RomCom) remains ever popular at the box office. The American Film Institute describes romantic comedies as “a genre in which the development of romance leads to funny situations”. Romantic comedy tells of the problematic, joyful relationships between a man and a woman in love, and shows the audience in the most pleasant and humorous way that love can defeat all. There’s Something About Mary and Meet the Parents are the best examples of the RomCom.

Black comedy takes a dark subject such as death or war and presents it in a humorous way. Black comedies tell satirical stories about issues that usually make people feel uncomfortable. MASH and Kind Hearts and Coronets belong to dark humor.

9 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

The skyscraper (摩天大楼) became the standard design of a modern, global city in the 20th century. So much so that by the end of last century, centers of many big cities around the world began     1     (look) alike.

As we entered the 21st century, many designers began to ask     2     (they): Is this     3     we want our cities to look? Must our cities give up their individual identities to become modern? Some     4     (architect) have responded to these questions by incorporating traditional design elements into their skyscrapers. Others are returning     5     local traditions and, often, local materials.

In China, internationally famous architect Wang Shu wants to bring a breath of fresh air to modern design. He is creating designs in which modern concrete and Chinese traditional building practices coexist. Traditional Chinese buildings,     6     (include) homes, often have green spaces on the inside. Wang says that the most important thing for Chinese people is “living in some     7     (peace) place with trees, water, and your family together.” He keeps this idea in mind and reuses old materials in his new buildings. Some buildings contain     8     (recycle) bricks and tiles from constructions that     9     (build) hundreds of years ago. Wang believes this is what gives     10     building its spirit and makes it feel alive.

10 . When it comes to Albert Einstein (1879-1955), it's easy to imagine an old, crazy-haired genius. But before he ever came up with the theory of relativity, Einstein was a 23-year-old patent clerk, working for the minimum wage. Young Einstein decided to earn some extra cash tutoring physics. He put up an ad, and Maurice Solovine, a student of philosophy, responded. The two did not do much traditional studying, but instead chatted about philosophy. Conrad Habicht, a mathematician and a friend of Einstein, joined their debates. They jokingly called themselves the Olympia Academy.

We’ve gathered together some books the members of the Olympia Academy read and discussed. Maybe the literature that inspired Einstein can inspire you to be clever, too.

A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume

David Hume, a 18th-century Scottish philosopher, was always suspicious. He believed “everything we know is really just a matter of probability”. He argued “reason doesn’t motivate people’’, which led to all sorts of questions, such as “So what’s motivating you to write this?”

“The chief benefit, which results from philosophy, arises in an indirect manner, and more from its secret insensible influence, than from its immediate application,” Hume wrote.

Analysis of Sensations by Ernst Mach

An Austrian philosopher Ernst Mach wrote about how mysterious senses are. In an attempt to figure out how humans experience balance, Mach cleverly built a turning chairs , which used shades of gray bands to show that the colors people saw were deeply affected by the colors around them.

Science and Hypothesis by Henri Poincare

Henri Poincare, a 19th-century French philosopher, was also a theoretical physicist, an engineer and a mathematician. At college, he was fantastic at math. He created his special theory and wrote Science and Hypothesis. Some of his thoughts actually sowed the seeds for Einstein’s theory of relativity, such as the idea that time is relative.

2. Which of the following does David Hume agree with?

B．Every human sense is mysterious.

C．People should see everything with doubt.

D．The chief benefit of philosophy arises directly.
