Professor Ferner explains that，“You use energy when you laugh，you move your diaphragm(横隔膜)，you expand your lungs，and both those things can be helpful.”According to the research，laughing for a quarter of an hour can burn 40 calories，and if you laughed all day youd use up about 2，000 calories，which is what most people consume in a day.But dont do that or you might end up with a painful jaw.Ouch! Or you might find people looking at you in a funny way.But I dont want to finish this article leaving you feeling desperate.Laughter comes naturally for most of us.Babies begin to laugh at around 36 months.So give in to your sense of humour and keep smiling.Life is short anyway.27Laughing too much may cause the following harmful results EXCEPT .Aheart stopBdiaphragm movementClung burstDjaw dislocation答案B解析细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“He says，We found people with heartbeat problems which had stopped their hearts，we found people who had fainted(昏倒)，and we found people whod dislocated their jaws or burst their lungs.”可知，笑得太多的危害性有：心脏骤停、昏倒、下巴脱臼以及伤到肺。B项没有提到。28The underlined phrase “doom and gloom” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”Ahopeless BfunnyCpainful Dnervous答案A解析词义猜测题。根据第二段提到“好像笑并不是玩笑的事情，但它也不是无用，费尔纳教授说，当你想减肥时，笑是非常有效的”。故选A项。29How many calories can you use if you laugh for half a day？AAbout 40. BAbout 1，000.CAbout 2，000. DAbout 2，040.答案B解析数字计算题。根据第三段提到“if you laughed all day youd use up about 2，000 calories，which is what most people consume in a day”可知，一天消耗大约2 000卡路里，那么半天就消耗大约1 000卡路里。故选B项。30What is the authors attitude towards laughing in the last paragraph？AUninterested. BDisapproving.CWorried. DFavorable.答案D解析观点态度题。根据最后一段提到“So give in to your sense of humour and keep smiling.Life is short anyway.”可知，作者认为不要放弃幽默，保持微笑，毕竟生命是短暂的。故选D项。BSoccer is not a violent game.But players can hit the ball with their heads to purposely change the direction of the ball.In the sport，this move is known as a “header”Besides，they may sometimes collide(碰撞) with other players，the ground and goal posts(门柱)Catherine McGill is an expert at the Childrens National Health System in Washington，D.C.She examines many children who have suffered concussions(脑震荡)Concussions are the most common brain injury when children are playing soccer.Her research shows that concussions from soccer and other youth sports are increasing these days.Catherine McGill says，“On the one hand，we are getting better.That means parents，coaches and medical providers are getting better at recognizing and responding to that injury.They are paying more attention to the safety of their children.On the other hand，kids are getting bigger，faster，and stronger across the sports，so more injuries will happen simply because of that.”Catherine McGill spoke at a recent meeting on ways to make soccer safer for young players.The meeting was held recently in Washington，D.C.She said，“Researchers are examining the influences of soccerrelated head injuries.They want to know whether repeated hits to the head can cause CTE.” CTE is a brain disease which will become worse and worse as a person ages.She said she was often asked by parents about at what age children should start “heading” or whether there should be “heading” at all.She thinks that this is a very individual decision.The age for one child may be very different from the age for another.31We can learn from the first two paragraphs that playing soccer .Aneeds many different skillsBbelongs to a very violent gameCmay cause brain injuries to childrenDis not good for little children答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章前两段内容可知，孩子们在踢足球的时候常常用头顶球，还可能和别人发生碰撞，这些都可能导致孩子们的脑部受伤。32The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 means “ ”Amore and more children enjoy playing sportsByoung players are becoming stronger and fasterCparents pay more attention to their childrens safetyDteachers protect children from suffering brain injuries答案B解析代词指代题。根据画线词所在的上文可知，因为孩子越来越高大、强壮，跑得也越来越快了，因此踢球时更容易发生碰撞而导致脑损伤。33In Catherines opinion，kids should start “heading” .Aaccording to their own situationsBwhen they are strongerCfrom an early ageDwhen they are faster答案A解析推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“She thinks that this is a very individual decision.The age for one child may be very different from the age for another.”可知，由于每个人的情况不同，因此凯瑟琳建议孩子根据自己的情况来决定是否用头击球。34What is the main idea of this passage？AHow to make soccer safer for children.BWhy more children choose to play soccer.C“Heading” is harmful to children who play soccer.DThe advantages and disadvantages of playing soccer.答案C解析主旨大意题。文章主要介绍专家的研究发现：孩子们踢足球的时候用头顶球可能会给他们的头部带来伤害。.七选五 35 People use money to buy food，furniture，books，bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want.When they work，they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. 36 One of the first kinds of money was shells.Shells were not the only things used as money.In China，cloth and knives were used.In the Philippine Islands，rice was used as money for a long time.Elephant tusks，monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.The first metal coins were made in China.They were round and had a square hole in the center. 37 Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. 38 Sweden and Russia used copper(铜) to make their money.Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive.Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. 39 The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.AThe first coins in England were made of tin(锡)BBut people used to use all kinds of things as money.CNo one knows for certain when people began to use money.DPeople strung(用线串) them together and carried them from place to place.EMoney，as we know，is all made of paper.FThey began to use paper money.GToday anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services.35答案G解析作为首句显然应该切入主题，符合此要求的选项有C.E和G项，但内容与第一段内容相符的只有G项。该项中的Today为暗示词。36答案B解析依据行文逻辑，空前后内容有转折关系。该空前有metal和paper，空后有shell，且B项中有暗示词kinds。故选B。37答案D解析依据行文逻辑，上下文间为递进关系。该空前有“a square hole”，D项中有“strung(用线串) them together”，这是对前后内容的有效、合理的承接。38答案A解析依据行文逻辑，上下文间为顺承关系。空前有“Different countries.”，空后有“Sweden and Russia.”，因此只有A项“.in England.”与之相吻合。故选A。39答案F解析依据行文逻辑，上下文间为因果关系。空前谈及中国人最先制造出金属货币，又因为贵重金属作为货币带来的不便而想出了一个改进的方法；空后紧接着引出纸币，故只有F项可以前后照应。.微写作写作素材(关于职业选择)1我的叔叔是一名记者，从他那里，我了解了做记者的一些事情。2做一名专业记者很费力但是令人羡慕。3你必须要得到最新的消息，编辑报道并在最后期限之前上交。4我的父母说我有这方面的天赋，并支持我将来做一名记者的决定。5我很欣喜他们支持我。提示：黑体部分用本单元词汇表达，并且请使用“介词关系代词”引导的定语从句，动名词作主语等。连句成篇(将以上句子连成一篇50词左右的英语短文)My
