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對身體健康有益處．人們發(fā)現笑與身體運動有相似的作用，歡笑能改善人們的健康，笑能增加血壓、心臟跳動，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產生一種減輕壓力和疼痛的化學物質．

解答 36-40 FGDCB
36．F語境辨析題．根據下文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人類身體的影響，可知這句諺語跟笑有關，而A不是諺語．F項：Laughter is the best medicine．笑是最好的藥．符合文意，故選F．
37．G聯系上文題．根據上句Now，however，doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body．可知這里想說歡笑確實能改善人們的健康，故與G吻合．故選G．
38．D語境辨析題．根據上句It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise．可知人們發(fā)現笑與身體運動有相似的作用．D項：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、心臟跳動和呼吸，還能鍛煉面部、胃部甚至足部的肌肉群．符合語境，故選D．
39．C聯系上文題．根據上句The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program．可知忍受疼痛時間最長的一組是聽一個有趣節(jié)目的小組．C項：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產生一種減輕壓力和疼痛的化學物質．符合文意，故選C．
40．B聯系后文題．根據后句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，即使他們的病人真的不想笑，讓他們微笑也能產生類似于笑所產生的有益效果．B項：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，一些在美國的醫(yī)生舉辦了笑診所，在他們的幫助鼓勵他們笑改善他們的病情．符合文意，故選B．

點評 在答題中，應首先略讀每個段落，了解每個段落的大致意思，然后把幾個選項含義理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表達有交叉的選項之間的區(qū)別．然后再細讀短文，把答案填入合適位置．答題時可以把含義相近的幾個選項輪流填入同一處位置，反復閱讀，反復體會，找出最佳選項，對于實在沒有把握的小題可以留待最后完成．完成短文后，再認真通讀一遍全文，看看上下語意是否通順，是否符合邏輯關系．
