The group tha tolerated(忍受） the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they heip to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh.

Four years ago, my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.
I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception.
My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land. The place was rustic(乡村的), with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.
In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was “Moon River” and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk.
As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit them every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle(喧闹)of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.( 叙旧)
Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me. My heart skipped a beat. “Moon River” was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned,with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.
Then the radio announcer came on. “Here’s one we haven’t heard in a while,” and an unfamiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves.
9. The writer didn’t like staying on the farm for the following reasons EXCEPT that ______.
A. it was too cold and quiet
B. she could only sing one song on the small farm
C. there was nothing more that could make her excited
D. the place was rustic, with no indoor plumbing or heat
10. From the first paragraph, we know that the writer’s mother ______.
A. left the small farm with Lord B. passed away four years ago
C. left for Lord to live her own way D. preferred to be with Lord
11. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage
A. Mom’s music B. Cherish (珍惜) life
C. My happy childhood D. Our small farmhouse

4.extreme→extremely
5.them→us
6.act→action
7.在see前面加上to
8.an→the
9.and→but
10.waste→wasting
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述昨天我去参加同学的生日聚会，结交了很多的朋友，其中一个朋友给我们看了他去不同地方旅游的照片，我们都很羡慕，而且意识到我们应该多去旅游来丰富我们的见识。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：昨晚我去参加我朋友的生日聚会。根据时间状语last night可知句子用一般过去时态，谓语动词要用过去式。故将go改为went。
2.考查可数名词单复数。句意：我交了一些新朋友，我们谈得很开心。根据句中的some可知，后面为可数名词的复数。故将friend改为friends。
3.考查语态。句意：一位新朋友给我们看了他去过的地方的照片。分析句子结构，he had been visited为定语从句，修饰先行词places，所以从句为主动语态，表示他参观过的地方。故将been去掉。
4.考查副词。句意：我们非常钦佩他，因为我们都渴望去不同的地方旅行。admired为动词，所以要用副词修饰它，故将extreme改为extremely。
5.考查代词。句意：我们非常钦佩他，因为我们都渴望去不同的地方旅行。根据句意可知，是我们渴望去不同的地方。故将them改成us。
6.考查固定搭配。句意：然而，由于种种原因，我们至今尚未采取行动。take action “采取行动”，故将act改为action
7.考查非谓语动词。句意：他告诉我们有很多精力去看世界。分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语动词为had，see要用非谓语做energy的定语，所以动词不定式。故在see的前面加to。
8.考查冠词。句意：一旦我们有了这个主意，就应该执行我们的旅行计划。根据句意可知，一旦我们有了这个主意，特指想要旅行的主意，不是泛指。故将an改成the。
9.考查连词。句意：他告诉我们的是对的，但大多数年轻人还没有意识到这一点。分析句意可知，前后为转折关系。故将and变成but。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意：我们应该做我们想做的事，而不是浪费青春。instead of “代替，而不是”，of为介词，后面要加动名词做宾语。故将waste改成wasting。

Four years ago, my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.
I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception.
My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land. The place was rustic(乡村的), with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.
In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was “Moon River” and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk.
As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit them every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle(喧闹)of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.( 叙旧)
Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me. My heart skipped a beat. “Moon River” was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned,with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.
Then the radio announcer came on. “Here’s one we haven’t heard in a while,” and an unfamiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves.
9. The writer didn’t like staying on the farm for the following reasons EXCEPT that ______.
A. it was too cold and quiet
B. she could only sing one song on the small farm
C. there was nothing more that could make her excited

C. left for Lord to live her own way D. preferred to be with Lord
11. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage

Thanks to the hybrid rice that was discovered by Yuan Longping,the hunger problem of thousands of Chinese people was mostly fixed in the 1980s.
On Sept 8th,Yuan, together with two other scientists, won China's 2018 Future Scientist Prize, for his continuous research on rice. Even on his 88th birthday on Sept 7th, he took part in the International Development Forum of Rice Production in Hunan province. Although he was recovering from an illness at the time, he was happy to talk to reporters about his latest work on seawater rice.
Yuan has been researching on rice since he was at college. In 1964. he discovered a natural hybrid nice plant in Hainan. Since then, he has focused on developing high yield, hybrid nice varieties (多样性). In1973,he became the first to successfully cultivate (培育) a type of hybrid rice species in the world. With the hard work of Yuan's group for about ten years, the production of the rice was increased (From 150kg per mu (亩) to 500kg per mu and more). These varieties now take up about two thirds of China's rice crop, according to China News. So, it's no wonder that he's known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”。
And because of China's Belt and Road (一带一路) initiative,Yuan's hybrid rice is helping to solve food problems around the world.According to Xinhua News Agency,hybrid rice plants in Kenya produce fcur to five times more nice than the country's usual rice plants. With a rising fame all over the world. Yuan gave a speech in English at the 9th Shandong High-level Talents Forum in Qingdao last year.His speech made him an internet sensation. Beginning with “I speak broken English",his 20-minute speech turned out to be a huge success, with barely any pauses or mistakes.
The humble Yuan was simply being modest during his speech. According to au article in1999 by CNN,the scientist speaks both English and Russia fluently.“I never need an interpreter when I go overseas.”he hold the US news network. Butin spite of his great knowledge,Yuan inderstands that even the wisest people should stil he told Xinhua.“We should learn from them.”
