That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world – and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.‎ The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing – it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.‎ Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5 – year study in the body, laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.‎ So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest – I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.‎ Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real – and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!‎ ‎24．In which country was the first Laughter Club started?‎ ‎ A．Britain. B．America. C．India. D．Australia.‎ ‎25．How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?‎ ‎ A．Nervous. B．Pleased. C．Surprised. D．Stressful.‎ ‎26．When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?‎ ‎ A．After a few days. B．After a few hours.‎ ‎ C．After a few seconds.

It covers 788 square miles and has a population of 1,100,000, about 750,000 Indians, 300,000 Chinese and 20,000 Whites included. They are living together peacefully, although they share such different beliefs as Hindu, Roman Catholic, Muslim and so on.‎ ‎ The country can be divided into many parts with different climates all because of its peculiar terrains (地形). In the center there are volcanoes several thousand feet high, and 90% of its arable land is covered with sugarcane.‎ ‎ There were no people living on the island before the Dutch landed on it in 1638. The Dutch abandoned it in 1710, and five years later, the French came and succeeded in planting sugarcane there. It was conquered by Britain in 1818. As a result, its official language is English. The main big cities are Beau-Bassin and Mahebourg, with Port Louis as its capital.‎ ‎ Mauritius has many rare and unique animals, such as the snakes, parrots and lizards. The giraffe is a type of animal with a very long neck and legs and yellow skin with dark spots. It is the tallest of all living animals.‎ ‎ Mauritius was extremely poor when it declared its independence in 1968. In the past ten years, obvious economic prosperity(繁荣) has shown itself in this island country. Nowadays its business, culture and tourism are developing rapidly. Every year, thousands of millions of people rush there to enjoy the silver sand beach and song and dance performances with native national characteristics.‎ ‎28.

D.‎ ‎ A Ma A MA Mau Mau ‎ ‎ D As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, do people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.‎ In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.‎ In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory "‎ According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.‎ ‎32. The passage begins with two questions to ______. ‎ ‎ A. describe how to use the Interne. B. show the author's altitude C. introduce the main topic D. explain how to store information ‎33. What can we learn about the first experiment?‎ A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. ‎ B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.‎ C. The first group did not try to remember the formation. ‎ D. The second group did not understand the information.‎ ‎34. In transactive memory, people ______.‎ A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information ‎ C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information ‎35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? ‎ A. We are becoming more intelligent. B. We are using memory differently. ‎ C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information. ‎ 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。‎ We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our life. Instead of letting the world soften us, we let it drive us deeper into ourselves. 36 ‎ The item listed below are four tips you can open your heart more fully and completely.‎ 1. Breathe into pain Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to face it instead of running away. 37 When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and accept it. By using our breath, we soften our experiences and allow more newness.‎ ‎2. 38 ‎ We’re often confused at the next step to take. Actually, we can try a new decision making process. To start the process, we may ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?” See what comes up, then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome.‎ 3. Spend time alone For most of our life we’re surrounded by people: our friends, family members and strangers. 39 When you spend time in solitude(孤独), you’re free from the ‎ influence of other people. It might be painful at first, but eventually you’ll add a whole new layer of depth and understanding into life.‎ 3. Get out of yourself ‎ 40 But in reality, they actually work hand-in-hand. After you’ve explored the depth of yourself, you come away with a new understanding.‎ Now, it’s time to share that, not through telling others, but through being with others.‎ A. Have a light heart B. Ask your heart what it wants C. Is there anything I’m hiding from myself?‎ D. How often do we really spend time alone?‎ E. This may seem to go against the last tip to some degree.‎ F. We should open our hearts and take action to heal the wounds.‎ G. When we run away from sadness, it gets stronger and more real.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ He has been called the “missing link”.
