30、icators and better team players.”可知选D。3答案与解析：B推理判断题。由最后一段前两句话可知，如果幽默真的是很重要的，那么为什么我们不在工作中更经常地使用它呢？很可能，主要的原因是很多人不知道工作场所的幽默的积极影响，故选B。4答案与解析：B整篇文章告诉了我们幽默在人们日常生活中所起到的作用，比如可以改善人际关系、提高生产率等，因此说“幽默在工作场所是重要的”这个题目最合适。.七选五【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了幸福和快乐几乎被普遍认为是人类最宝贵的财富之一。然而，关于某些形式的快乐是否比其他形式的好，人们会产生分歧。John Stuart Mill

32、，即可知本句应该说明higher pleasure。故选F“更高的快乐取决于人类的能力，如自我意识或语言使用”。3答案与解析：D上文“The entire debate assumes a clear divide between the physical and the mental.(整个辩论在生理和心理上有明显的分歧)”中the physical and the mental可对应到D选项中the physical and the mental，意为：如果身体和精神不能分开会发生什么？4答案与解析：A根据下文“Food is usually considered to be the lo
33、wer pleasure.”可知提到了food，故可对应到A选项中的dining table。意为：餐桌就是一个分歧很明显的地方。5答案与解析：B根据后文“Preparing it using the powers of reflection and attention turns it into a higher pleasure.(用反思和专注的力量来准备它，会把它变成一种更高的乐趣)”可知狼吞虎咽是一种低级趣味，故选B。.语法填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了单口喜剧表演，并且讲述了喜剧对健康的积极作用。1答案与解析：humorous句意为：在观察类喜剧中，喜剧演员会开一些他/
34、她在日常生活中观察到的一些有趣事情的玩笑。分析句子结构可知，此处应填形容词修饰名词things。humour的形容词为humorous，意为“幽默的；搞笑的”。2答案与解析：of此处是说肢体动作类喜剧演员会利用他们的身体来逗乐观众。固定短语make use of意为“利用”。3答案与解析：and分析句子结构可知，该句是由三个并列的句子组成的，设空前后为并列的关系，故填and。不能填while(用于强调两种情况之间的差别)。4答案与解析：which分析句子结构可知，设空处应填which，引导非限制性定语从句，指代空前的impressionist comedians act or speak li
35、ke a wellknown person整个句子，并在从句中作主语。5答案与解析：He句意为：后来，他也作为一名影视演员而出名。分析句子结构可知，此处应填人称代词He作句子的主语，指代前面提到的Billy Crystal。6答案与解析：to amuse句意为：他深受各年龄层的人们的欢迎，他逗乐全世界的人们的能力证明了单口喜剧表演可以深受每一个人的喜爱。ones ability to do sth.意为“某人做某事的能力”。7答案与解析：be enjoyed句意见上一题解析。that引导的宾语从句缺少谓语，情态动词can后要用动词原形，且表示“被喜欢”，应用被动语态，故填be enjoyed。
36、8答案与解析：researching句意为：研究单口喜剧和其他形式的喜剧带给人们的影响的医生发现，爱笑的人要比不爱笑的人活得更久一些。分析句子结构可知，本句的谓语是have discovered，因此设空处应用非谓语形式。Doctors是本句的主语，且与research之间为逻辑上的主动关系，应用动词的ing形式作Doctors的后置定语，故填researching。9答案与解析：longer句意见上一题解析。由than可知此处应填long的比较级longer。10答案与解析：saying句意为：这正印证了那句英语谚语“笑是灵丹妙药”。定冠词the后面接名词(短语)，故填saying，意为“谚
