He went home happily and planted the seed in a pot carefully.”和“Everyday, he watered it.”和“Jim was a little sad because nothing had happened since he planted the seed in the pot.”和“Jim put his empty pot on the floor and other men laughed. ”以及“Jim is the next CEO.”可知，事情发生的先后顺序为：吉姆拿到了一颗种子并把它种在了花盆里；吉姆每天给种子浇水；吉姆很伤心因为种子没有生长；其他人嘲笑吉姆；商人说明真相，吉姆是下一任CEO。故选A。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Jim is the next CEO.”可知，吉姆是下一任CEO。故选D。 【22题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“The young man was the only one with honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it.”可知，吉姆是唯一一个诚实的人，他给商人带来了一个装有种子的罐子，由此可知，本文强调了诚实的重要性。故选B。 D Do you want to live a happier life? Try laughing for no reason. That’s how many people start their day at Laughter Yoga (瑜伽) Clubs around the world, and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Yoga Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” A study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California shows that laughter reduces stress (减缓压力) and is very good for the heart. Laughter Yoga is used in many hospitals for the illness treatment (疾病治疗) and it is also practiced in schools, factories and old people’s homes. So what is Laughter Yoga? I went to my nearest Laughter Yoga Club to find out. I was quite nervous about it. I didn’t like the idea of laughing with others. First, our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say, “Ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” He said our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they both work. After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real! We did different kinds of laughter exercises and finally I was surprised by how relaxed I felt. So if you’re sad (伤心的) about something, just start laughing. As Dr. Kataria says, “When you laugh, you change, and when you change, the world around you changes.” 23. How does the writer begin the text? A. By telling a story. B. By giving an example. C. By asking a question. D. By listing (列出) numbers. 24. What does “it” in paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A. Laughter. B. The study. C. Illness treatment. D. Laughter Yoga. 25. How did the writer feel in his Laughter Yoga Club experience? a. Nervous. b. Surprised. c. Sad d. Relaxed. A. abd B. abc C. acd D. bcd 26. What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) in writing the text? A. To ask us to join Laughter Yoga Club. B. To show us different ways of laughing. C. To advise us to laugh for a happier life D. To tell us different kinds of Laughter Yoga Clubs. 【答案】23. C 24. D 25. A 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了大笑瑜伽的相关内容，建议人们笑一笑以使生活更加幸福。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Do you want to live a happier life?”可知，这篇文章是以一个问题开始的。故选C。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Laughter Yoga is used in many hospitals for the illness treatment and it is also practiced in schools, factories and old people’s homes.”可知此处指大笑瑜伽也被用于学校、工厂和老年之家，由此可知it指代大笑瑜伽。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I was quite nervous about it.”和第四段最后一句“We did different kinds of laughter exercises and finally I was surprised by how relaxed I felt.”可知作者在大笑俱乐部中刚开始感到紧张，后面感到惊讶和放松。故选A。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“Do you want to live a happier life? Try laughing for no reason.”及全文内容可知本文主要介绍了大笑瑜伽，建议人们笑一笑以使生活更幸福。故选C。 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Why do we call the forefinger shizhi?

Both Mr. and Mrs. Brown were always so busy that they hardly went out at night. But they still went out once or twice a month. There were other high school girls looking after their kids before, so why couldn’t Sharon do it? One day Sharon went to Mrs. Brown’s home and told her what she wanted to do. Mrs. Brown was surprised at first, but she didn’t seem to be against (反对) the idea. Sharon tried to sound helpful. Sharon said she lived next door, and it would be so convenient. Mrs. Brown said she’d tell her if she needed her. One Saturday night, Mrs. Brown went to Sharon’s house and asked her for help. Sharon watched the kids, Peter and ‘Michelle, that night. Peter was only seven months old, so he could only drink milk. Michelle was 12 years old. Sharon sang songs for Peter, and he fell asleep soon. Sharon helped Michelle with her homework and read stories to her. It was very interesting. Mr. and Mrs. Brown went back two hours later. They were very happy to see everything was OK.

He called all the young men in his company together. He said, “I am going to give each of you a seed (种 子) today. I want you to plant the seed. I will choose the next chief executive officer (CEO) according to your plants.” Jim got a seed. He went home happily and planted the seed in a pot (罐子) carefully. Every day, he watered it. After about three weeks, other men began to talk about their seeds and plants. Jim was a little sad because nothing had happened since he planted the seed in the pot. He just kept watering the seed every day. He tried to make the seed grow, but he still failed. A year later, all the young men brought their plants to the businessman. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and other men laughed. The businessman asked what had happened to the seed. Jim told him the story about it. The businessman said to the other young men, “Jim is the next CEO.” “How could he be the CEO?” the others asked. Then the businessman said, “One year ago, I gave you all boiled seeds. It was impossible for them to grow. The young man was the only one with honesty (诚实) to bring me a pot with my seed in it.” 19. From Paragraph 1 we can know that a businessman wanted to _________. A. play a joke B. plant the seeds C. choose the next CEO D. get some good plants 20. Which is the right order (顺序) of Jim’s story? ① Other men laughed at him. ② Jim watered the seed every day. ③ The businessman told the truth. ④ Jim got a seed and planted it in a pot. ⑤ Jim was a little sad because the seed didn’t grow. A. ④②⑤①③ B. ②④⑤①③ C. ①④②③⑤ D. ④②⑤③① 21. What did Jim get at last? A. The seed. B. The pot. C. The plant. D. The job of the CEO. 22. What can we learn from the text? A. Everyone can become the CEO. B. Honesty is very important to us. C. It’s impolite to laugh at other people. D. Jim is the cleverest man in the company. D Do you want to live a happier life? Try laughing for no reason. That’s how many people start their day at Laughter Yoga (瑜伽) Clubs around the world, and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Yoga Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” A study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California shows that laughter reduces stress (减缓压力) and is very good for the heart. Laughter Yoga is used in many hospitals for the illness treatment (疾病治疗) and it is also practiced in schools, factories and old people’s homes. So what is Laughter Yoga? I went to my nearest Laughter Yoga Club to find out. I was quite nervous about it. I didn’t like the idea of laughing with others. First, our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say, “Ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” He said our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they both work. After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real! We did different kinds of laughter exercises and finally I was surprised by how relaxed I felt. So if you’re sad (伤心的) about something, just start laughing. As Dr. Kataria says, “When you laugh, you change, and when you change, the world around you changes.” 23. How does the writer begin the text? A. By telling a story. B. By giving an example. C. By asking a question. D. By listing (列出) numbers. 24. What does “it” in paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A. Laughter. B. The study. C. Illness treatment. D. Laughter Yoga. 25. How did the writer feel in his Laughter Yoga Club experience? a. Nervous. b. Surprised. c. Sad d. Relaxed. A. abd B. abc C. acd D. bcd 26. What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) in writing the text? A. To ask us to join Laughter Yoga Club. B. To show us different ways of laughing. C. To advise us to laugh for a happier life D. To tell us different kinds of Laughter Yoga Clubs. 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Why do we call the forefinger shizhi?
