He made a decision that more laughter was needed to improve health and deal with the stress of modern living.       In 1995, while writing an article for a health journal, Dr. Kataria discovered many modern scientific studies describing the benefits of laughter on the human mind and body. In particular, he was impressed by Norman Cousins book Anatomy of an Illness and the research work by Dr. Lee Berk. Then he began to field-test the effect of laughter on himself and others.       Starting with just five people, on March 13, 1995, at a public park in his neighborhood, Dr. Kataria started the first laughter club. They laughed together in the park to the amusement of bystanders, and the small group quickly grew to more than 50 people within a few days. In the early meetings, they stood in a circle with one person in the center to tell a joke or a funny story. Everybody enjoyed themselves and felt good for the rest of the day. However, after two weeks, their jokes and stories ran out. Some complained that it would be better to discontinue the club than to continue without any jokes. Dr. Kataria asked the club members to give him one day to develop a breakthrough that would solve the problem.       That night, Dr. Kataria reviewed his research and finally found the answer. Our body cannot differentiate between pretend and genuine laughter. In fact, both produced the same effect. The next morning, the results were amazing. For some, the make-believe laughter quickly turned into real laughter. Soon the group was laughing like never before. The hearty laughter that followed lasted for almost ten minutes. This was the birth of Laughter Yoga.25. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Madan Kataria _.A. used to be seriousB. was a man of actionC. found his life stressfulD. was an expert in laughing26. After a short period of time, the club members _.A. didnt know what to talk aboutB. doubted whether laughter would helpC. couldnt find any place to get togetherD. showed less interest in Dr. Katarias club27.

What would be the best title for the text?A. Laughter clubs in IndiaB. Benefits of Laughter YogaC. The origin of Laughter YogaD. Laughter the best medicineC       When we hear of dangerous diseases, cancer and heart disease are often what first comes to mind. Recently, a virus called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea (a country in West Africa), killing 62 people so far. It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc. Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.       Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976. There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 outbreak, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.       Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats (果蝠), which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on (吮吸) their blood. Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals. Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.        Since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries. Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakry the capital of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus. It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.        Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola. Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition. Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the affected. The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.29. The news of Ebola in Guinea is mentioned to _.A. make a brief summary B. introduce the topic of the textC. compare Ebola with cancerD. show the latest study of viruses30. What can we learn about Ebola? A. It is a newly discovered virus.B. It is the most dangerous virus in the world.C. It was named after where it first happened.D. It could cause immediate death for anyone infected.31. What is mainly described in Paragraph 3?A. What the Ebola virus is.B. The influences of Ebola.C. The treatments for Ebola.D. How the Ebola virus spreads.32. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Ebola is a highly infectious virus.B. Ebola is now very common in Guinea.C. Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola.D. Females are more easily to be infected by Ebola.D       An interpersonal communication class is one of those courses similar to health or physical education thatstudents often brush off as just another one of those school required classes that are easy to pass. Well, should these interpersonal communication classes be required for all high school students?        After having such a subject as part of the curriculum (课程) in my Communications College major, I believe that this course should be required. Even though it is true that much of the material is common sense to most, there is likely a handful of students who do not know the standard guidelines for communicating interpersonally, either because their family never raised them with the knowledge or they had no place to practice the rules.       To be interpersonally effective in communicating, one must know how to behave confidently in certain situations, how to settle a conflict, and how to moderate behavior and choice of speech among different people or places. If schools required this course in high school, I firmly believe that the graduation as well as college entry percentages of each class would rise rapidly.        My interpersonal communication classes required myself and the other students in my class to team up in groups of two or three on various occasions and practice certain verbal exchanges. The professor would give us scenarios (剧本) and we would have to act out what we would do and say if that situation happened. We performed exercises where we had to read back and forth with our partner practicing different tones of voices and analyze the change in impression each made on the receiving party.        Many people, again, blow interpersonal communication classes off as just a filler class to keep kids in school for an entire day, but I dont think these people realize how important effective communication skills are when entering into the grown-up, independent, college or employment world. Being able to communicate well has a huge effect on ones self-esteem (自尊), ability to make friends, competence in an employment position, and the healthiness of a romantic relationship. 33. The underlined part “students often brush off” can be replaced by “_”.A. students are really fond ofB. students dont take seriouslyC. students feel confused aboutD. students have never heard of34. What were the authors interpersonal communication classes like?A. Students showed no interest and played games.B. Students performed exercises in small groups.C. Students were too shy to play out scenarios.D. Students were often asked to watch videos.35. The authors purpose of writing the text is most likely to _.A. advertise                B. entertainC. persuade               D. instruct第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Olivia Bouler       No one is ever too young to make a difference.  36  Eleven-year-old Olivia was concerned about pollution in the Gulf of Mexico (墨西哥湾). She was especially concerned about the birds living along the coast. Olivia wanted to help and she had an idea about what she could do.        37  “Im no James Audubon,” she said, referring to an artist famous for his pictures of birds, “but I can draw.” Olivia felt her watercolors of birds were good enough that some people might buy them. She wondered if people would be even more likely to buy her artwork if they knew the money would be used to help birds on the Gulf Coast.       Olivia got in touch with the National Audubon Society. This society honors James Audubon, the artist Olivia admires greatly, and it works to aid and save endangered birds.  38  That was because Olivia promised to create 500 original drawings.With the National Audubon Societys help, Olivias “Save the Gulf” campaign was announced.  39  America Online (AOL) news published an article about Olivia. Just three days after the story appeared, her project had already raised $20,000.        40  She then completed a book project. The book, called Olivias Birds: Saving the Gulf, i
