Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points) Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as “a bodily exercise precious to health.” But -_1_some claims to the contrary, laughing probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does _2_short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, _3_ heart rate and oxygen consumption But because hard laughter is difficult to _4_, a good laugh is unlikely to have _5_ benefits the way, say, walking or jogging does. _6_, instead of straining muscles to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the _7_, studies dating back to the 1930s indicate that laughter_8_ muscles, decreasing muscle tone for up to 45 minutes after the laugh dies down. Such bodily reaction might conceivably help _9_the effects of psychological stress. Anyway, the act of laughing probably does produce other types of _10_ feedback, that improve an individuals emotional state. _11_one classical theory of emotion, our feelings are partially rooted _12_ physical reactions. It was argued at the end of the 19th century that humans do not cry _13_they are sad but they become sad when the tears begin to flow. Although sadness also _14_ tears, evidence suggests that emotions can flow _15_ muscular responses. In an experiment published in 1988,social psychologist Fritz Strack of the University of wrzburg in Germany asked volunteers to _16_ a pen either with their teeth-thereby creating an artificial smile or with their lips, which would produce a(n) _17_ expression. Those forced to exercise their smiling muscles _18_ more exuberantly to funny cartoons than did those whose mouths were contracted in a frown, _19_ that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around. _20_ , the physical act of laughter could improve mood. 1Aamong Bexcept Cdespite Dlike 2Areflect Bdemand Cindicate Dproduce 3Astabilizing Bboosting Cimpairing Ddetermining 4Atransmit Bsustain Ceva luate Dobserve 5Ameasurable Bmanageable Caffordable Drenewable 6AIn turn BIn fact CIn addition DIn brief 7Aopposite Bimpossible Caverage Dexpected 8Ahardens Bweakens Ctightens Drelaxes 9Aaggravate Bgenerate Cmoderate Denhance 10Aphysical Bmental Csubconscious Dinternal 11AExcept for BAccording to CDue to DAs for 12Awith Bon Cin Dat 13Aunless Buntil Cif Dbecause 14Aexhausts Bfollows Cprecedes Dsuppresses 15Ainto Bfrom Ctowards Dbeyond 16Afetch Bbite Cpick Dhold 17Adisappointed Bexcited Cjoyful Dindifferent 18Aadapted Bcatered Cturned Dreacted 19Asuggesting Brequiring Cmentioning Dsupposing 20AEventually BConsequently CSimilarly DConversely 【标准答案】 1Cdespite 从后面一个句子中的little我们可以判断出这里的转折意为，因而本题选择despite； 2Dproduce 此处前一个词does表示强调，根据上下文课意思可判断选项； 3Bboosting boost意思是促进增进、stabilize意思是稳定、impair是减少削弱、determine意思是决定。因而可以判断选boost； 4Bsustain 本题全凭词义选择：transmit 意思是传输；sustain，维持；eva luate，评估；observe，观察。 5Ameasurable 本题一样是词义考察：measurable，可评估的；manageable，可掌握的；affordable，可承受的；renewable，可更新的。 6BIn fact 从后一句中的Instead of doing.可以看出此处有意群的转换，因而选择了In fact，实际上起到承前启后的作用。 7Aopposite 从前一句的 instead of 得知此处句意发生转折，因而选择opposite 8Drelaxes 从后一句decreasing muscle tone，减少肌肉张力，可判断此处应选择relaxes，放松。 9Cmoderate 也是从上一句的句意“放松肌肉、减少肌肉张力”可看出此处的意思应该相同，因而选择moderate，稳定、减轻。 10Aphysical 还是词义考察，同学们可以从这道题看出出题老师对形近字、意近字有多爱了吧 physical，身体上的；mental，精神上的（这是一对，一定要记住！）；subconscious，潜意识的；internal，内在的。 小编分享一个做题的“非官方方法”给大家：当选项中出现明显的成对、或反义词时，那么答案多半在其中。也就是我们可以从做一个四选一的题，变成做二选一的题。那就算是猜、正确率也有50%了吧！？ 11BAccording to 后一句提到one classical theory of emotion，一个经典情感理论，说明是距离。所以此处连接词选择According to。 12Cin 这题的考点是介词和动词的搭配，如果你明白前一个root是“根、扎根”的意思，那么基本可以排除选项中的with，那到底是on, at 或是 in，就看日常积累了。 13Dbecause 这整句的意思是：“在19世纪末期有这样的争论：人们不是因为悲伤而哭泣，而是因为当流泪时会变得悲伤。” 因而此处选择表示因果关系的because。其他的until，直到；unless，除非；if，如果，都不符合。 14Cprecedes 词义又来：exhaust，精疲力尽；follow，跟随；precede，在之前；suppress，抑制。 15Bfrom 从动词flow，流动，来判断。 16Dhold 因为后一句提到“thereby creating an artificial smile”，从而创造一个虚假的笑脸。可以看出，无论是fetch或是pick（都是取来、捡来的意思）都是不对的，bite（咬）更不对。要维持一个笑脸，所以用hold。 17Adisappointed 这道题的技巧在于，无论是excited, joyful 或是indifferent，它们所能传达的面部表情都是类似的，因而得知选disappointed，失望的得出不一样的表情。 18Dreacted 词义题：adapt，适应；cater，迎合；turn，转变；react，反应、 19Asuggesting 词义题：suggest，传达了、证明了；requ
