World Laughter Day is a special day when people all over the world come together to laugh. Although this day sounds a bit silly, there is a serious reason behind it.
This day happens on the first Sunday of May every year. It was started by Dr. Madan Kataria, a doctor from India, in 1998. Its goal is to achieve health, happiness and world peace through laughter. Dr. Kataria encouraged people to join laughter groups where they could meet up and laugh in public. More than 12,000 people came to the first event, and since then it has caught on around the world.
Nobody knows for sure why people laugh, but all human cultures have laughter. Even babies laugh before they can talk!
Dr. Kataria found that when people fake (假装) laughing, it often causes real laughter. “Our body doesn’t know the difference between acting happy and being really happy, so we can fake laughing until the laughter comes naturally,” he said.
On World Laughter Day, lots of people meet up in parks or squares to laugh together. They do Laughter Yoga, a kind of exercise that mixes laughing and deep breathing. There may also be music and dancing. They even have competitions (比赛) to see who has the best laugh.
If you can’t find a Laughter Day event near you, why not set up your own with friends and family? Or, you could watch a funny movie to join in the fun. Remember, the spirit of World Laughter Day is all about bringing joy and laughter into every day of the year.
21.What’s the goal of World Laughter Day?
A.To find out who has the best laugh in the world.
B.To remember the man who loved laughing most in India.
C.To achieve health, happiness and world peace through laughter.
22.What does the underlined part “caught on” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Made changes. B.Become popular. C.Caused problems.
23.Which of the following will Dr. Kataria most probably agree with?

25.Why did the writer write the passage?
A.To encourage people to always stay happy.

21.细节理解题。根据“Its goal is to achieve health, happiness and world peace through laughter.”可知,世界欢笑日的目的是为了通过欢笑来实现健康、幸福和世界和平。故选C。

23.推理判断题。根据“Dr. Kataria found that when people fake (假装) laughing, it often causes real laughter. ‘Our body doesn’t know the difference between acting happy and being really happy, so we can fake laughing until the laughter comes naturally,’ he said.”可知,Kataria博士认为我们的身体不知道表现得快乐和真正快乐之间的区别,所以我们可以假装笑,直到笑声自然出现。因此,选项A“假笑能带来真正的快乐。”符合题意。故选A。

52.句意:事实上,在一些其他亚洲国家,比如日本、韩国和马来西亚,也有类似的传统。根据“in some other Asian countries...Japan South Korea, and Malaysia.”可知空格后列举了三个国家名称,表示举例,需用介词like,意为“像……一样,比如”。故填like。
53.句意:在新年期间,日本的孩子通常会收到otoshidama,这在日语中意为压岁钱。根据“otshidama...means lucky money in Japanese”可知此处是定语从句,先行词是“otoshidama”,在从句中作主语,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,用which。故填which。
54.句意:与中国传统相似,日本人把钱放在信封里,但这些信封是多种颜色的,而不仅仅是红色的。根据“Similar to the Chinese tradition, Japanese place the money in envelopes...these envelopes are in many colors rather than just red.”可知前半句说日本人也用信封,后半句说信封颜色多样(不仅仅是红色),前后为转折关系。but表示转折,符合逻辑。故填but。
55.句意:在韩国,父母和祖父母给孩子们压岁钱。
分析句子结构,give后接宾语,表示给予的对象。根据“In South Korea, parents and grandparents give...lucky money.”以及上下文可知给予的对象是“孩子”,且用复数泛指。child的复数形式为children。故填children。
56.句意:相反,钱被放在幸运袋里。根据“However, they don’t use envelopes. Instead, the money is...in lucky bags”可知此处为被动语态,指把钱放在幸运袋里,is后接过去分词构成被动语态。put的过去分词与原形相同,意为“放置”。故填put。
57.句意:当客人来拜访他们时,人们通常会给客人装在绿色信封里的钱。根据“when they come to...them during the holiday.”可知to为不定式符号,指来拜访他们,后接动词原形。visit意为“拜访”,符合句意。故填visit。58.句意:他们也会给长辈钱,祝愿他们身体健康、长寿。根据“wish...good health and long life”可知wish后接双宾语,空格处为间接宾语,指代前面的“the elders”。需用人称代词they的宾格them。故填them。
59.句意:无论是通过不同颜色的信封还是幸运袋,这些传统都表达了人们向所爱之人传播快乐和好运的愿望。根据“show people’s wishes to...joy and good luck”和备选词可知传播快乐和好运,to为不定式符号,后接动词原形。spread意为“传播”,符合句意。故填spread。
60.句意:当我们快乐地庆祝中国新年时,请记住红包的真正价值不在于钱,而在于给予的行为。根据“celebrate the Chinese New Year...”可知空格处修饰动词celebrate,指快乐地庆祝。需用副词。happy的副词形式为happily,意为“快乐地”。故填happily。

“May we all be blessed with longevity. Though miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together (但愿人长久,千里共婵娟)”, written by Su Shi, a poet during the Song Dynasty, in his well-known poem to his younger brother Su Zhe.
The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. On this day, people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. It has been enjoying great popularity all over the country.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has its own special food just like other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat mooncakes with fillings such as sugar and lotus seed paste. (5)在中秋夜,月饼是一个满月的形状。The full moon and mooncakes stand for family reunion (团聚).

61.根据“written by Su Shi, a poet during the Song Dynasty, in his well-known poem to his younger brother Su Zhe”可知,苏轼写这首诗是给他的弟弟苏辙的,故填Su Shi wrote the poem for his younger brother Su Zhe.
62.根据“In ancient China, that day was a harvest festival because crops were harvested during that period”可知,中秋节在古代是丰收节,因为那段时间庄稼会被收割,故填Because crops were harvested during that period.
63.根据“With the beautiful moon up in the sky, people sit together, enjoy the full moon, eat mooncakes and fruit, share the stories and express the best wishes for the family members and friends who live afar”可知,人们在中秋夜会坐在一起,赏月、吃月饼和水果、分享故事,并向远方的亲友表达美好祝愿,故填People sit together, enjoy the full moon, eat mooncakes and fruit, share the stories and express the best wishes for the family members and friends who live afar.
64.It指代中秋节那段时间,a time for…表示“是……的时光”,relaxation“放松”,celebration“庆祝”,故填:那是一段放松和庆祝的时光。

World Laughter Day is a special day when people all over the world come together to laugh. Although this day sounds a bit silly, there is a serious reason behind it.
This day happens on the first Sunday of May every year. It was started by Dr. Madan Kataria, a doctor from India, in 1998. Its goal is to achieve health, happiness and world peace through laughter. Dr. Kataria encouraged people to join laughter groups where they could meet up and laugh in public. More than 12,000 people came to the first event, and since then it has caught on around the world.
Nobody knows for sure why people laugh, but all human cultures have laughter. Even babies laugh before they can talk!
Dr. Kataria found that when people fake (假装) laughing, it often causes real laughter. “Our body doesn’t know the difference between acting happy and being really happy, so we can fake laughing until the laughter comes naturally,” he said.
On World Laughter Day, lots of people meet up in parks or squares to laugh together. They do Laughter Yoga, a kind of exercise that mixes laughing and deep breathing. There may also be music and dancing. They even have competitions (比赛) to see who has the best laugh.
If you can’t find a Laughter Day event near you, why not set up your own with friends and family? Or, you could watch a funny movie to join in the fun. Remember, the spirit of World Laughter Day is all about bringing joy and laughter into every day of the year.
21.What’s the goal of World Laughter Day?
A.To find out who has the best laugh in the world.

23.Which of the following will Dr. Kataria most probably agree with?

World Laughter Day is a special day when people all over the world come together to laugh. Although this day sounds a bit silly, there is a serious reason behind it.
This day happens on the first Sunday of May every year. It was started by Dr. Madan Kataria, a doctor from India, in 1998. Its goal is to achieve health, happiness and world peace through laughter. Dr. Kataria encouraged people to join laughter groups where they could meet up and laugh in public. More than 12,000 people came to the first event, and since then it has caught on around the world.
Nobody knows for sure why people laugh, but all human cultures have laughter. Even babies laugh before they can talk!
Dr. Kataria found that when people fake (假装) laughing, it often causes real laughter. “Our body doesn’t know the difference between acting happy and being really happy, so we can fake laughing until the laughter comes naturally,” he said.
On World Laughter Day, lots of people meet up in parks or squares to laugh together. They do Laughter Yoga, a kind of exercise that mixes laughing and deep breathing. There may also be music and dancing. They even have competitions (比赛) to see who has the best laugh.
