All members of the human species understand it. Unlike English or French or Swahili, we dont have to learn to speak it. We re born with the capacity to laugh.Very little is known about the specific brain mechanisms responsible for laughter. Contrary to folk wisdom, most laughter is not about humor; it is about relationships. To find out when and why people laugh, I went with several assistants to local malls and recorded what happened just before people laughed. Over a 10-year period, we studied over 2,000 cases of naturally occurring laughter.We found that most laughter does not necessarily follow jokes. People may laugh after a variety of statements, such as, “Here comes Mary,” “How did you do on the test?” or “Do you have a rubber band?” These certainly arent jokes.We believe laughter evolved from the panting (喘气的) behavior of our ancient ancestors. Today, if we tickle (使发痒) chimps, they dont laugh. But, instead, they produce a panting sound. Thats the sound of ape laughter, and its the root of human laughter.Apes laugh in the kinds of situations that lead to human laughter, like games that involve chasing. Other animals produce sounds during play, but they are so different from laughter. Rats, for example, produce high sounds during play and when tickled, but these are very different in sound from human laughter.Laughter is often positive, but it can be negative too. Theres a difference between “laughing with” and “laughing at”. People who laugh at others may be trying to drive them out of the group.No one has actually counted how much people of different ages laugh, but young children probably laugh the most. At ages 5 and 6 we probably laugh more than at any other times. Adults laugh less than children, probably because they play less.Work now underway will tell us more about the brain mechanisms behind laughter, how it has evolved, and why were so susceptible to tickling.1、What was the purpose of the decades research?ATo prove that people laugh because of humour.BTo find out the real reason for people s laughter.CTo research people s different reaction on jokes.DTo record conversations among shoppers in malls.2、What can we learn from the text?APeople who play more tend to laugh more.BApes produce high sounds when tickled.CScientists know the brain mechanisms responsible for laughter well.DThe situations in which apes laugh are very different from those in which humans laugh.3、What does the underlined word “susceptible” in the last paragraph probably mean?ASensitive.BFlexible.CAddictive.DReliable.4、Which of the following might be the best title for the text?AThe Impact of LaughterBThe Meaning of LaughterCA Big Mystery: Why Do We Laugh?DLaughter: The Most Beautiful Words24（8分） In my memory, winters always used to be really unpleasant. You had to bundle up just to keep warm when you went outside. You were often cold, wet, slip on the ice, and youd arrive home to an ice-cold house. And that would mean turning on the heating and waiting. Its a miracle you didnt get cold to the bone.Fortunately, things dont have to be so challenging any more. Technology, engine ring and design have advanced giving us new solutions to old problems. It means dealing with winter neednt be like skating on thin ice.With a smart thermostat (温度自动调节器), our homes can be warm when we need them to be. Many models feature smartphone apps that allow you to control temperature remotely, so we can warm up the house before we arrive home. According to , Tados model features voice control, while the Nest leans your habits and automatically heats the home for you.Clothes have been given an upgrade, too. Electronic thermal jackets, sweaters and coats heat up when you turn them on. What better way to keep warm in the dead of winter? At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. Many models offer three levels of heating which stay warm for over 12 hours. .Finally, there is the clothing for the head, beanie s and Earmuff, that feature speakers included in the fabric using Bluetooth technology so we can listen to our favourite music or, in some cases, have a phone callusing the in-built microphone. All while keeping the head warm and avoiding a cold.For many, the thought of winter used to be enough to make their blood run cold. But using technology, life neednt freeze up. With the right solutions, theres no reason why winter cant be really, really cool.1、What do the underlined words “bundle up” mean in Para.1?AFix an air conditioner.BTake a hot bath.CRun a lot.DPut on more clothes.2、How does electronic thermal clothing work?AThe equipment placed inside the clothing produces heat.BIt needs to be warned up before being used.CThe thermostat heat up automatically when the temperature is low.DIt keeps warm for over 12 hours after being charged fox an hour.3、From the passage, we can lean the following statements EXCEPT that _.ATados model can be controlled by saying something to it.Bwith the in-built speaker and microphone, Beanies and Earmuffs users can have a phone call.Ctechnology can do nothing to make winter less rough.DBluetooth technology is used in the clothing for the head.4、Whats the best title of this passage?AA Smart ThermostatBA Modern winterCWays of keeping warmDAn unpleasant winter25（10分）Andrew started his job four years ago at a job search company G, when he worked in a computer programming language called Stata.
