Well, studies have long shown that laughter can have a positive effect both physically and emotionally. In South Korea, a nation more used to holding back its emotions, at least one hospital is encouraging patients to let loose on their regular basis.Laughing, for those cancer patients and their families, is a weekly exercise at Seoul National University hospital. It is something that does not come easy for them, but an hour of laughter therapy is all it takes to fight depression that often follows chemical treatment. Lim Song Li, a therapist at the hospital, was once a depression patient herself. She now is a laughter therapist and says when you laugh, blood vessels expand,and sugar levels drop, producing an abundance of hormones(激素)linked with happiness and pleasure. But in Korean culture, where Confucian tradition dominates(主导)social behavior,laughing is not a nature thing. Korean men are taught not to cry more than three times in their lifetime. And the sound of a Korean woman's laughter should not be heard outside the fence of her home. But inside this hospital,they are letting it out. By the end of the session, they make belief laughs somehow become their own.If laughing requires effort,more natural to Koreans, it is singing. The sing-song star therapist, famous for her therapy sessions to fight housewife depression, Jeong Ji Song says singing is an easier way to express inner feelings,especially for Korean women brought up in the conservative background. For some,these classes can be a stress-management tool,but for many more who suffer from depression, learning to sing out their heart can be a healing process.It not only helped Ying Seung Woo come out of severe depression, but also presented her with a new career. After taking up singing therapy, she found a talent in herself-cheer-leading. And now she is taking courses to become a certified therapist.【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。主要讲了微笑的作用以及微笑疗法的运用，尤其是对抑郁症的积极作用。1.The author mentions South Korea to show.A. there are few people suffering from depression in South KoreaB. laughter has a positive influence on Korean women' s healthC. people in South Korea are used to expressing their inner feelingsD. people in South Korea have attempted to use laughter therapy【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Laughing, for those cancer patients and their families, is a weekly exercise at Seoul National University hospital.

The sing-song star therapist, famous for her therapy sessions to fight housewife depression...(如果笑需要努力，对韩国人来说更自然，那就是唱歌。唱歌明星治疗师，以治疗家庭主妇抑郁而闻名)”可知，唱歌疗法对于治疗抑郁有积极作用，因此推断学习唱歌是一个可以治愈抑郁的过程。故选A。B(2021·全国高三模拟)Shakespeare has rightly said, “A light heart lives long.” There is no greater thing than cheerfulness in the daily life and our cheer can be expressed through a smile or a laugh. The saying “Laughter is the best medicine” has deep meanings. Many scientists have stressed the importance of laughter, which can lead a healthy life.In ancient times, most Emperors and Kings had a clown to make them laugh. This improved the atmosphere and helped people to come closer. Almost every comedy has a character to make people laugh. Funny TV plays use recorded sounds of laughter at the proper place.It is a well-known fact that health and cheerfulness influence each other. Doctors and psychologists all agree that patients can actually benefit from laughter. Those who see the bright side of life and remain happy are unlikely to go down with stress-related problems.A good laugh is also a useful tool in the workplace. Nervousness is unavoidable in business, but humor is an unexpected surprise that can help people better deal with the nervousness. Researchers have found that the more stress people are under, the more they are ready to laugh. A good laugh is looked upon as an encouraging tool. After laughing, you can begin a new thought process; it helps to set the mind in a different way.Many cities in India have laughter clubs where people get together in the morning for laughing. There are over 200 such clubs in India, which were started in Mumbai. All kinds of fitness exercise, along with laughter skills, are combined into the program. This has become known as the laughter treatment. Until now, many sick people have benefited from it.Making people laugh is an art and can be cultivated. Collect jokes, funny stories and humorous sayings and use them properly. Build a humor collection — buy books by P. G Wodehouse or anyone else who makes you keep laughing. Watch comedy plays when you are down in life.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了笑的作用，例如：调节氛围，缓解人们的紧张，激发人们的创造性思维，帮助人们恢复健康等，突出了笑的重要性。4.How does a good laugh help people in the workplace?A.

Nervousness is unavoidable in business, but humor is an unexpected surprise that can help people better deal with the nervousness…A good laugh is looked upon as an encouraging tool. After laughing, you can begin a new thought process; it helps to set the mind in a different way.”可知，开怀大笑在工作场合也是一种有用的工具。紧张在工作中是不可避免的，可以帮助人们更好地应对紧张。开怀大笑被认为是一种鼓舞人心的工具。笑过后，你可以开始一个新的思考过程；它有助于以一种不同的方式设置思维。由此推知，笑可以帮助人们产生创造性的想法。故选B。5.What can laughter clubs do for people?A.

I’d hear a joke and ask myself: why it got a laugh? What made it work? Could I ever make it as a comedian? But first I had to finish school and earn a living. After graduation, I worked as an accountant, managing the petty cash in the drawer. It was in this area that I developed my own very odd theory of accounting: If you got a couple of dollars , everything was okay(The theory never really caught on). Every day I’d have to check what was in the drawer with the receipts. It never balanced. At first I’d be tearing my hair out until I found the balance. Finally, one day I pulled the amount I was short of from my pocket and called it a day. Mr. Hutchinson, head of accounting, discovered my shortcut to balancing petty cash. he lectured me: “These are not sound accounting principles.” I said: “I’m not cut out for accounting. Why would you pay me $6 an hour to spend four hours finding $1.40?”Meanwhile, I often called my friend Ed Gallagher to kill boring afternoons, imitating things from my everyday world and identifying myself as plant manager of a yeast factory. “Sir”, it is Mr. Tomkins. We have a problem at your yeast factory. There’s a fire. I’d like you to hold on. Are you still there?”Ed Gallagher heard the routines and offered to provide the money to record them and send them to radio stations. Three wrote back asking how much we wanted .Soon I was on the air.Being a comedian is out of place with my intention, though. I left the world of accounting and took a series of part-time jobs to get me through, hoping for a big chance.【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从小喜欢看喜剧，反思自己能否成为一个喜剧演员。大学毕业后，作者当起了会计，但是还是喜欢幽默和富有想象力。8.Why did he love watching comedians on television?A.

Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling depressed makes them feel good and warms their hearts.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co­worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at the corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with. My grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces. They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep our stress levels under control. Without humor, we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medication to keep ourselves from going crazy. There is too much sadness, which will bring little light into our lives.Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together, tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。我们不仅仅需要而且更有必要有幽默感，以帮助我们度过困难时期。12.The author answers the question in the second paragraph with _______.A. facts and descriptions      B. evidence and the argumentC. examples and the conclusion     D. stories and persuasion【答案】C【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with. My grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.”可知，我总是说一些能让别人笑的话，即使我不认识和我开玩笑的人。我奶奶总是能从她做的每件事中找到幽默，即使这是任何人都能想象到的最困难的工作。这不仅可以缓解任何情况下的压力，而且它是一种与周围人交谈的常见方式。作者提出问题后，先举了自己经常和周围的人开玩笑，他祖母也总是寻找幽默的例子，而后表示他认为这不仅可以缓解任何情况下的压力，而且也是与周围的人交谈的一种常见方式。故判断出作者在第二段中运用了举例和总结的方式。故C选项正确。13.The underlined phrase “busting a gut” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________”.A. keeping silent    B. speaking loud  C. laughing hard    D. explaining carefully【答案】C【解析】词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space.”可知，有些人不能理解让人发笑的笑话，而我就能理解，并大笑起来。其他人就坐在那里，看着我，好像我是从外太空来的。所以第三段中带下划线的短语“busting a gut”可以用 laughing hard“大笑”来代替。故C选项正确。14.According to the passage, laughing is necessary and essential because ________.A. it can lift people’s spirits     B. it can help people get on well with othersC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world  D. it makes people more confident【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。由第四段中的“Laughing is essential to keep our stress levels under control. Without humor, we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medication to keep ourselves from going crazy.”可知，笑对控制我们的压力水平至关重要。如果没有幽默，我们会发现自己有很多心理问题，或者我们需要服用很多药物来防止自己发疯。所以通过逆向推理，我们可以判断出，有了幽默感，我们就没有了心理问题，也不用服用很多药物，也不会发疯。笑是必须且必要的，因为它可以振奋人们的精神。故A选项正确。15.In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to ________.A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。通读全文尤其是文章最后一段“Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together， tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.”可知，我相信改善情绪最好的“药物”是大家聚在一起讲一些笑话，一起开怀大笑。所以在写这篇文章时，作者的主要意图是鼓励人们在日常生活中要幽默。故B选项正确。二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2021·重庆高三二模)Having No Sense of HumorA sense of humor is a quality that is usually considered valuable in a social context.

(确定你擅长什么，什么能激发你的个性。)”以及“You may have a hidden gift that hasn’t been discovered yet.(你可能有一种隐藏的天赋还没有被发现。)”说明本段建议自己要确定自己擅长什么，自己有什么隐藏的天赋，选项A“发现你的才能”作为小标题，概括本段内容，建议发现自己的才能。选项Discover your talents和下文中a hidden gift that hasn’t been discovered语义相关。故选A项。10.【答案】C【解析】上文“Though it may seem that the dominant culture likes and accepts humor, it’s totally okay that some people don’t.(尽管主流文化似乎喜欢并接受幽默，但有些人不喜欢也没关系)”说明不是所有人都喜欢幽默，不喜欢也没关系，选项C“每个人都有自己的角色”承接上文，进一步说明不喜欢幽默也没关系，每个人都有自己不同的角色。语义通顺，逻辑合理。故选C项。三、完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(改编自2020·江苏仪征市第二中学高二月考)In the city of Lima lived a    1    baker and his neighbor was a kind man who was always glad to share the    2    he had.Every morning, as the poor neighbor sat on his porch eating    3    bread, the sweet smell filled the air.

They took care of and loved each other very much, and their country was happy, too. Therefore they didn’t envy anything else. There was one thing they worried about. They wanted to make sure they could live happily forever like this.One day, one of the officials found out the couple’s worry and told them, “Prince, I heard that there is a magic charm(吉祥饰物), and it can protect you from any unfortunate event. If you always carry the magic charm with you, your fear and worry will disappear.” “Is it true? Where can I find that charm?” The prince asked him joyfully. “There is an old man in the forest, and he knows about everything. You can ask him.”The couple visited the old man, and asked for help with their worries and fears. The old man nodded his head as if he knew everything and said, “Travel all around the world. Then, when you meet a very happy couple, ask them to cut a piece of their underwear. If you keep the piece of the underwear, your fear and worry will go away.”The couple appreciated the old man's kindness and set out on the journey. The couple wandered around everywhere and heard about a happy knight and his wife in a town. They went to visit the knight. “Are you really happy like the rumor?” Then the knight answered. “Of course, we are, Prince. But our only worry and problem is that we didn't have any children.”They had to find an absolutely happy couple, so they continued their journey. They visited a happy couple who were famous for their happiness in the next town.And they asked the couple if they were really happy. The couple answered. “Yes, we are very happy. But we have too many children. A mother with a large family of children never has a peaceful day. We worry too much about our children.”They could not get a magic charm this time too,and kept going on their trip. It was very hard to find the happiest couple in the world.One day, the prince couple met a shepherd(牧羊人) and his wife in a big field. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Feeling disappointed and tired out, the prince couple decided to go back. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】One day, the prince couple met a shepherd and his wife in a big field. The shepherd was driving a herd of sheep, and his wife took their two children to him. The moment the shepherd saw his family, he ran to them directly, kissing and embracing each of them by turns. Knowing that this was known to be the happiest family they were looking for, the prince couple approached them and asked politely “I am sorry, but could you please cut a piece of your underwear for us?” But the happiest shepherd couple felt confused and said “We would like to help you but we don’t wear any underwear.”Feeling disappointed and tired out, the prince couple decided to go back. Immediately they returned to their country they visited the old wise man, saying that the magic charm was no where to be found. The old man smiled. “Well is our trip a vain effort?” The prince couple thought to themselves for a while and finally, they realized that the true magic charm was in their mind, and happiness depends on themselves. Then they held hands firmly and looked in each other’s eyes, knowing that they would never be unhappy whatever came their way.
