阅读理解短文
There exist cruel wars,fighting and sadness in the world today,so it's not only necessary,but
also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us tide through difficult times in our lives.
Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling depressed,as the saying goes,
makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife,husband,child,co-worker,
neighbor,close friend,or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your 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 common
courtesy (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 face.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
2
a really funny joke?
Laughing is essential to keeping your stress levels under control.Without humor we would
find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems,or on a lot of medications to keep us from going
crazy.There is too much sadness in this present world.It drives people crazy.We all need to find
a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives.So,I believe our best medicine
is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.

答案与逐题解析
正确答案:28-31CBBD
28.C (Critical)
考点:作者态度推断
语境逻辑:首段提到”当今世界存在残酷的战争、冲突和悲伤”,末段再次强调”这个世界有太
多悲伤,让人疯狂”,可见作者对现状持批判态度。
选项辨析:A.Positive(积极的);B.Satisfied(满意的);D.Indifferent(冷漠的)均与”悲
伤”疯狂”等负面描述矛盾,C.Critical(批判的)符合对世界问题的负面评价。
4
29.B (opinions and persuasion)
考点:论证方式分析
语境逻辑:第二段以反问”如果不能和亲友开玩笑会怎样”引出观点,接着表达自己”总是让别
人笑”的做法,并引用奶奶的例子强化”幽默缓解压力、体现礼貌”的主张,通过观点输出和说
服性语言回答问题。
选项辨析:A.evidence(实证)未出现具体数据或研究;C.conclusion(结论)未明确总结句;
D.analysis(分析)侧重逻辑拆解,此处更侧重观点表达和说服,故选B。
30.B (laughing hard)
考点:短语词义猜测
语境逻辑:前文描述”别人听了笑话笑到打滚,他们却毫无笑容”,后文对比”我在busting a gut,
他们却像看外星人一样看我”,可见”busting a gut”与”毫无笑容”相反,指”大笑”。
选项辨析:A.speaking loudly(大声说话);C.acting strangely(行为怪异);D.explaining
carefully(仔细解释)均与”笑话引发的反应”无关,B.laughing hard(狂笑)符合语境。
31.D (convince people of the power of being optimistic about life)
考点:主旨意图推断
语境逻辑:首段提出”幽默帮助度过难关”,末段总结”笑是控制压力的关键,幽默是良药”,核
心是通过幽默传递乐观态度的重要性。
选项辨析:A.仅个人理解未上升到说服;B.”实用方法”未明确:C.”拿严肃事开玩笑”与文
中”礼貌幽默”不符:D.”说服人们乐观生活的力量”符合”幽默缓解悲伤、带来光明”的全文
逻辑。
