29、of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt
30、, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was thatalmost all of them felt anger toward pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasnt only funny; it also made the audience feel
31、that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological fac
32、tors, the more the person will like it.

33、ething funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone orbelittlingsomeone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a persons emoti

37、之外,还有很多心理因素会促使人们发笑。25考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt anger toward pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly“可知,人们大笑的主要原因是几乎所有人都对那些粗心过马路的行人感到愤怒,再根据本段中的“people were laughing.because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psycholog
38、ical support they got“可知,人们大笑一方面是因为笑话本身好笑,另一方面是因为他们这种愤怒的情感在独白喜剧表演中得到了认可。26考查词义猜测。根据文章内容以及画线词前面的“I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or“可知 ,画线词的感情色彩应与 make fun of“取笑“一致,故 belittle 的意思是“贬低,轻视“,故选 C。27考查篇章结构。本文第一段引出论点,第二段和第三段分别举了一个例子来进行论证,第四段的“In short“表明本段是总结段,故文章的结构是总(第一段 ) 分(第二段、第三段)总(第四段) 。【

47、 felt the need to tell lies on an impulse(冲动) that didnt feel like my own“可知作者撒谎是出于一种难以抑制的冲动。29考查推理判断。根据第二段的叙述,尤其是“Nobody did! Aunt Kim told us how disappointed she was“可推知,姑姑之所以感到失望是因为没有一个人承认这个错误。30考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The next thing I knew was that she was on the phone with my parents and they were on t
48、heir way to picking me up. It had to be me“可知,因为作者经常撒谎,作者的父母和姑姑都认为是作者做了那件事。31考查推理判断。根据最后一段的“No matter how big or small your lies are, once you are labeled a liar, earning trust takes a lot of work and time“可知,作者通过自己的亲身经历明白了一个道理:撒谎的人如果想重新赢得他人的信任需要花费很多时间和努力。【备注】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者为自己的撒谎行为付出代价的故事。Say your
