Human beings love to laugh，and the average adult laughs 17 times a day.Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter.Jokes，sitcoms and comedians are all designed to get us laughing，because laughing feels good.For us it seems so natural，but the funny thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs.Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.Laughter is a great thingthats why weve all heard the saying，“Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease.In this article，well look at laughterwhat it is，what happens in our brains when we laugh，what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier.Youll also learn that theres a tremendous amount that no one understands yet.语篇解读：俗话说得好：“笑一笑，十年少。”本文是一本书的引言，通过比尔盖茨和通用汽车公司总裁的幽默谈话向我们讲述了“笑”的作用：它可以促进我们的身体健康，增强抵御疾病的能力。24Whats the best title of the passage?ALaughterBThe Joke Between Gates and the President of General MotorsCWhy do We Laugh?DLaughter and Health解析标题归纳题。纵观全文可以看出，文章通过一个幽默引出了笑的作用：可以增进我们的身体健康，增强抵御疾病的能力。答案D25Which one is NOT true according to the passage?AComputer technology has developed quickly during the past few decades.BAutomotive technology has developed as fast as computer technology according to Bill Gates.CThe president of GM thinks it is impossible to build cars worth less than 50 dollars.DIf cars were less than 50 dollars，a large number of accidents would happen per day.解析细节理解题。文章第一段的“If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades，you would now be driving a V32 instead of a V8”用的是虚拟语气，故该句中的描述与事实不符。答案B26The underlined word “sitcoms” in Paragraph 3 means_.Asituation comedies BtragediesCbody languages Dfictions解析词义猜测题。该词的意思应和此句前面的Jokes(笑话)以及后面的comedians接近，故选A。而tragedies(悲剧)，body languages(身势语)，fictions(小说)均不在此列。答案A27This passage is most probably an_.Aintroduction of an article about MicrosoftBintroduction of an article about laughterCarticle about laughterDintroduction of an article about General Motors解析推理判断题。由最后一段的后半部分尤其是“In this article，well.”可以看出，该文是一篇文章的引言部分，用以吸引读者，介绍文章的内容。答案BCDo you regularly get together to talk with your family about problems or the days events? Conversation is the key to any strong relationship，but family communication is especially important.What to improve your familys communication skills? Try implementing (实施) these simple steps.1Create opportunities for talkingIts no secret that Americans are overworked，overcommitted and overscheduled.Parents rush home from work to take kids to soccer practice，piano lessons and Girl Scout meetings，all before hitting the drive through window to pick up fast food for dinner.Mix in kids whod rather text their friends than chat with Mom or Dad，and we have a family communication crisis.So what can you do? Make time for talking by reducing the number of activities your family is involved in each weekthe time it frees up for communication will be invaluable.And if you do find yourself in the car running from place to place，make a point of turning off the radio，the cell phones and the personal game players，and use that opportunity to catch_up_on the days activities.2Insist on family mealsIn addition to bringing everyone together for a wrap up of the days activities，insisting on a few standing family meals creates ritual and routine that kids come to expect and look forward to.Use the family dinner table as an opportunity to share whats going on in family members lives.3Go on individual dates with your childrenSpending time with each of your children lets them know that they matter and arent getting lost in the hubbub (喧闹) of a busy day or large family.Older teens might enjoy going out for a hamburger or a coffee.Younger children often enjoy going to the supermarket，especially when you let them select their favorites.Dont forget your older family members who live near you.Regular lunches with aging parents keep your relationship healthy，as well.Maintaining positive family communications benefits your family in so many ways.Children feel comfortable sharing their problems with parents.Parents remain connected and intimate (亲密的) with each other and their children.And all family members develop effective communication styles that can improve the quality of their relationships beyond the family home.Why not start talking today?语篇解读：你经常和家人聚在一起谈论生活中的问题或每天发生的事吗？你认为“家人相互交流”重要吗？如何实现家人无障碍沟通呢？28Whats the passage mainly about?AFamily communication.BConversation skills.CThe relationship between parents.DThe relationship between children.解析主旨大意题。第一段中“but family communication is especially important”和最后一段中“Maintaining positive family communications benefits your family in so many ways.”前后呼应，它们是解答本题的关键信息句，故选A。答案A29The underlined part “catch up on” in the passage probably means “_”Amake up for Bfind out aboutCtake part inDbe prepared for解析短语意义猜测题。画线部分所在段落主要讲的是如何创造机会、寻找时间和家人交流(谈论白天发生的事情)，故推测catch up on与find out about意义接近。catch up on意为“了解”。答案B30The family members can share the days events_.Awhen they have meals togetherBwhen they live a routine lifeCbefore they buy fast foodDbefore they have dinner解析细节理解题。第四段中“Use the family dinner table as an opportunity to share whats going on in family members lives.”是解答本题的关键信息句。答案A31That parents remain connected and intimate with each other and their children can_.Aimprove the quality of family activitiesBmake all family members positiveChelp with communication skillsDstrengthen the family bonds解析推理判断题。“Maintaining positive family communications benefits your family in so many ways.”是最后一段的主题句。父母之间、父母与孩子之间沟通畅通自然能使家庭关系纽带更为牢固。由此可知D为正确选项。答案DDEvery winter there are stories of dog owners who have died trying to save a dog that has fallen through ice.People who have no pets of their own often listen to such stories with shock and discouragement.Why would anyone risk their life trying to save a dog? I would.Your dog is part of your life.You love it.If you have no family，partner or children，you possibly love your dog even more.Your life centres on it，and if you see it in any sort of serious trouble，then you will，usually，try to save it，just as you would try to save anyone else that you love.Its a flash decision.When your dog is being swept away by a flood，you dont have time to think about danger，and you wont stand on the bank wondering whether or not that would be a wise move.Dog owners like me have been told a million times that you should never involve yourself in a dog fight or try to pull the dogs apart，or you may easily end up getting hurt.But thats easier said than done.What are you meant to do when your dog is pinned to the ground by its throat with screaming? Some people manage to do nothing.They think that the dogs will eventually sort things out for themselves，and often theyre right.I also once pulled a friends dog out of a pond.I saw its nose sticking up.The dog was struggling in the pond; my elderly friend was shaking behind me.What was I meant to do? Watch it drown? If a helpless creature that you love is in serious trouble，it doesnt really matter if its a dog，a cat，a horse or a whale.Youre going to go on jumping into rivers and fires to save it，whatever anyone else thinks.语篇解读：经常听说有人奋不顾身地去救别人，但是你听说有人奋不顾身地去救动物吗？32People think separating dogs when they are fighting_.Aneeds lots of courage Bshould be bannedCought to be guided Dshows the owners love解析推理判断题。文章第三段第一句提到狗打架时拉架是非常危险的行为。答案A33The author pulled her friends dog out of a pond because her friend_.Atried to give up the dog Bfelt it dangerousCwas too frightened Dcould not swim解析细节理解题。
