Question

10．There is an English saying；"（36）F"Until recently，few people took the saying seriously．Now，however，doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body．（37）G．
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body．People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts，blood pressure，breathing and muscles．It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise．（38）DIf laughter exercises the body，it must be beneficial．
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body．In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs．The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program．（39）C
（40）BThey have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing，making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter．

A．Laughter can prolong one's life．
B．As a result of these discoveries，some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics，in which they help to improve their patients'condition by encouraging them to laugh．
C．The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain．
D．It increases blood pressure，the heart beating and breathing，it also works several groups of muscles in the face，the stomach，and even the feet．
E．Although laughter helps cure the disease，doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice．
F．Laughter is the best medicine．
G．They have found that laughter really can improve people's health．

Answer 1

分析 本文介紹了歡笑確實(shí)對(duì)身體健康有益處．人們發(fā)現(xiàn)笑與身體運(yùn)動(dòng)有相似的作用，歡笑能改善人們的健康，笑能增加血壓、心臟跳動(dòng)，還能鍛煉面部、胃部甚至足部的肌肉群．而笑能減輕疼痛的原因似乎是笑會(huì)產(chǎn)生一種減輕壓力和疼痛的化學(xué)物質(zhì)．

解答 36-40 FGDCB
36．F語(yǔ)境辨析題．根據(jù)下文doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body．可知醫(yī)生開始研究笑以及對(duì)人類身體的影響，可知這句諺語(yǔ)跟笑有關(guān)，而A不是諺語(yǔ)．F項(xiàng)：Laughter is the best medicine．笑是最好的藥．符合文意，故選F．
37．G聯(lián)系上文題．根據(jù)上句Now，however，doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body．可知這里想說(shuō)歡笑確實(shí)能改善人們的健康，故與G吻合．故選G．
38．D語(yǔ)境辨析題．根據(jù)上句It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise．可知人們發(fā)現(xiàn)笑與身體運(yùn)動(dòng)有相似的作用．D項(xiàng)：It increases blood pressure，the heart beating and breathing，it also works several groups of muscles in the face，the stomach，and even the feet．它能增加血壓、心臟跳動(dòng)和呼吸，還能鍛煉面部、胃部甚至足部的肌肉群．符合語(yǔ)境，故選D．
39．C聯(lián)系上文題．根據(jù)上句The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program．可知忍受疼痛時(shí)間最長(zhǎng)的一組是聽一個(gè)有趣節(jié)目的小組．C項(xiàng)：The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain．笑能減輕疼痛的原因似乎是笑會(huì)產(chǎn)生一種減輕壓力和疼痛的化學(xué)物質(zhì)．符合文意，故選C．
40．B聯(lián)系后文題．根據(jù)后句They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing，making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter．可知他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，即使他們的病人真的不想笑，讓他們微笑也能產(chǎn)生類似于笑所產(chǎn)生的有益效果．B項(xiàng)：As a result of these discoveries，some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics，in which they help to improve their patients'condition by encouraging them to laugh．由于這些發(fā)現(xiàn)，一些在美國(guó)的醫(yī)生舉辦了笑診所，在他們的幫助鼓勵(lì)他們笑改善他們的病情．符合文意，故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 在答題中，應(yīng)首先略讀每個(gè)段落，了解每個(gè)段落的大致意思，然后把幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)含義理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表達(dá)有交叉的選項(xiàng)之間的區(qū)別．然后再細(xì)讀短文，把答案填入合適位置．答題時(shí)可以把含義相近的幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)輪流填入同一處位置，反復(fù)閱讀，反復(fù)體會(huì)，找出最佳選項(xiàng)，對(duì)于實(shí)在沒(méi)有把握的小題可以留待最后完成．完成短文后，再認(rèn)真通讀一遍全文，看看上下語(yǔ)意是否通順，是否符合邏輯關(guān)系．
