正确答案：B.
解析：本题为主旨大意题，考查学生对文章中心思想的把握。文章开篇描述小丑医生Larry的工作场景，中间部分通过Lara的例子展示小丑医生如何用娱乐缓解病人痛苦，并引用科学研究支持笑声的益处（第三段：“Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better”）。结尾重申“laughter is the best medicine”，强调医院小丑项目的价值。选项A（描述自行车事故）是细节而非主旨；C（批评传统医院）与文中正面描述不符（如“doctors and nurses did a great job”）；D（讨论医生培训）偏离主题。选项B完整概括了文章核心：介绍医院小丑项目的好处。

1. What is the author's job
A. A doctor who treats children's injuries.
B. A clown doctor working in hospitals.
C. A nurse who helps comfort patients.
D. A magician performing in healthcare facilities.
答案：B
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段 “my name badge ‘Doctor Larry Laugh-Out-Loud’” 及第三段 “We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as ‘hospital clowning’” 可知，作者是一名在医院工作的小丑医生。A、C、D 均不符合文意。
2. What scene is described in the first paragraph
A. Patients like reading magazines in the hospital.
B. The boring and tense atmosphere in the waiting area.
C. Absence of communication between doctors and patients.
D. Doctors' dressing up after working for a typical day.

当我穿着白大褂走向医院的时候，我看起来跟其他医生一样——直到我戴上卷曲的彩虹色假发和大红鼻子，别上我的名牌“拉里·笑哈哈医生”为止。我穿过一道道门进入候诊区，这里充斥着常见的厌烦和紧张情绪。人们别扭地坐在塑料椅上，翻阅着那些已经被读过几百次的旧杂志。焦虑的父母们正竭尽所能安抚紧张哭闹的孩子。
2 In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl ankle is twice its normal size.I speak with the on-duty nurse, tells me that Lara's parents rushed her to the hospital after she fell off her bicycle.Since getting here, Lara has spent her time crying in pain.Although the doctors and nurses will treat her injury, it's my job to make her feel better.

3. Why was Lara crying in the hospital according to the text
正确答案：B. She fell off her bicycle and injured her ankle.
解析：本题为细节理解题，考查学生识别具体事件原因的能力。文章第二段直接说明：“Lara's parents rushed her to the hospital after she fell off her bicycle”，并提到“Lara has spent her time crying in pain”。选项A（无聊读杂志）描述的是候诊室场景，与Lara无关；C（害怕小丑）错误，因为Lara对小丑的反应是积极的；D（父母焦虑）是背景信息，非Lara哭泣的原因。学生需关注第二段因果细节。
A. She was bored from reading magazines.
B. She fell off her bicycle and injured her ankle.
C. She was scared because of the clown.
D. Her parents were anxious.
Language points
In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl ________ ankle is __________________ (是正常大小的两倍).
这条路是那条路的三倍宽。（三种表达）
This road is three times as wide as that one.
This road is three times wider than that one.
This road is three times the width of that one.

前半句核心结构是“让步状语从句(Although) + 强调句”
it's + 被强调部分（doctors and nurses）+ who + 其他部分”，强调“是医生和护士”会治疗她的伤。
后半句（主句）核心结构是“it's + 名词（my job）+ 不定式（to make her feel better）”
形式主语“it”代替真正的主语“to make her feel better”，句子意为“让她感觉好起来是我的工作”。
Although it's the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury, it's my job to make her feel better.

就在这样的场景里，我注意到一个小女孩，她的脚踝肿成了原来的两倍。我和当值护士交谈时她告诉我，劳拉从自行车上摔下来，她的父母匆忙将她送到医院。自从来到这里，劳拉就因为疼痛而一直大哭。尽管为她治疗伤痛的是医生和护士，但让她的心情变好则是我的工作。

4 What made the author choose his career
A. His love for magic tricks and silly jokes.
B. His experience of being a patient in hospital as a kid.
C. The high pay of working as a clown doctor.
D. The encouragement from his own doctors and nurses.
答案：B
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段 “I chose this career because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid... I spent much of the time feeling frightened and bored” 可知，作者童年住院的经历促使他选择这份职业。A 是工作内容，C、D 文中未提及
5. What can be inferred about Larry's childhood experience in hospitals
正确答案：B. He felt frightened and bored.
解析：本题为推理判断题，考查学生推断隐含信息的能力。文章第三段提到：“I chose this career because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid. Although the doctors and nurses did a great job, hospitals weren't really designed for children. I spent much of the time feeling frightened and more than a little bored!”从中可推断Larry的童年医院经历是负面的——感到恐惧和无聊，这促使他成为小丑医生。选项A（享受医院）与原文矛盾；C（受启发成为医生）部分正确，但“doctor”这里是小丑医生，非传统医生；D（与小丑医生大笑）未提及。推理需基于第三段个人叙述。
A. He enjoyed staying in hospitals.
B. He felt frightened and bored.
C. He was inspired to become a doctor.
D. He laughed a lot with clown doctors.
6. What do scientific studies show about laughter, based on the passage
A. It can cure physical injuries.
B. It produces chemicals that make people feel better.
C. It is unnecessary in hospitals.
D. It only works for children.
正确答案：B.
解析：本题为细节理解题，考查学生提取科学依据的能力。文章第三段明确引用：“Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better.”
选项A（能治愈伤病）夸大其词，文中只说“make people feel better”，非治愈；C（医院不必要）错误，因为小丑项目被正面描述；D（仅对儿童有效）未提及，文中提及病人和家属。学生需定位第三段关键句。
7. What can we infer from the passage
A. Lara's ankle was not seriously hurt.
B. All children in hospital love clown doctors.
C. Laughter can help people feel better.
D. Clown doctors replace doctors and nurses.
答案：C
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段 “Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better” 及全文小丑医生通过笑声缓解病人痛苦的事例可推断，笑能让人感觉更好。A 文中未提伤势轻重；B “all” 过于绝对；D 与 “work together with medical professionals” 矛盾。

科学研究表明，欢笑能令人产生一些有益身心的化学物质，这就意味着小丑医生能帮到患者。我们是受过专门培训的小丑，是“医院小丑”项目的成员。我选择这个职业是由于我自己小时候去医院的经历。尽管当时医生和护士都尽职尽责，但医院实在不是个适合孩子们待的地方。我在那里的大部分时间要么觉得害怕，要么感到非常无聊!而成为小丑医生意味着我可以用娱乐人们的方式帮助他们。
4 hospitals and other health care facilities, we clown doctors work together with medical professionals. a typical day, we spend our time cheering up patients, their families, and more often than not, the hospital staff, too!We do this by doing magic tricks, singing songs, telling stories and, of course, telling silly jokes.Some children, though, don't feel like laughing, especially if they're in pain.We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the doctors and nurses, who keep us updated on each patient.

8. What do clown doctors NOT do to cheer people up
A. Perform magic tricks.
B. Sing songs and tell stories.
C. Give medical treatment to patients.
D. Tell silly jokes and make people laugh.
答案：C
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段 “We do this by doing magic tricks, singing songs, telling stories and... telling silly jokes” 可知，A、B、D 均为小丑医生的工作内容。而 “give medical treatment” 是医护人员的职责，故选 C。
正确答案：B.
解析：本题为细节与综合题，考查学生归纳核心信息的能力。文章第四段明确说明：“we clown doctors work together with medical professionals... spend our time cheering up patients, their families, and more often than not, the hospital staff, too!”并通过娱乐活动（如魔术、歌曲）。
选项A（直接治疗伤病）错误，因为文中说“it's the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury”；C（替代医疗人员）与“work together with medical professionals”矛盾；D（进行科学研究）只在第三段提及，非主要角色。学生需精读第四段总结职责。
9. What is the primary role of clown doctors in hospitals, as stated in the text
A. To treat patients' injuries directly.
B. To cheer up patients, families, and staff.
C. To replace medical professionals.
D. To conduct scientific studies.
10. Why do clown doctors need to work closely with doctors and nurses
A. To learn medical skills from them.
B. To get updates on each patient's condition.
C. To help them treat patients' injuries.
D. To make sure they can tell better jokes.
答案：B
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段 “We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the doctors and nurses, who keep us updated on each patient” 可知，医护人员会告知小丑医生病人的最新情况，因此他们需要密切合作。A、C、D 均不符合文意。

作为小丑医生，我们要走访医院和其他的医疗保健机构，和专业医疗人员一起工作。我们一天的工作内容通常是为病人、病人家属，甚至是医院的工作人员带来欢乐!为此，我们会变魔术、唱歌、讲故事，当然还会讲一些滑稽的笑话。尽管如此，有些孩子并不想笑，尤其是在他们感到疼痛的时候。所以我们必须非常善解人意，并且与医护人员密切合作，他们会为我们提供每个病人的最新情况。

5 And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trick.While the doctor concentrates examining Lara's ankle, I get her attention by doing a magic trick.Although she is clearly still in some pain, her scared and anxious look has been replaced-first by a small smile, and then by loud laughter as I “magically" her sock from out of my pocket.Seeing their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara's parents more .
in turn 是副词短语作状语，修饰谓语动词“has made”，说明动作的逻辑关系（“反过来；相应地”），而非插入语（插入语通常可独立省略，此处“in turn”是句子必要的语义补充）

11. The phrase “do the trick” in Paragraph 5 probably means “______”.
A. solve the problem
B. make a mistake
C. tell a secret
D. lose the chance
答案：A
解析： 词义猜测题。根据第五段下文可知，作者通过魔术让 Lara 从痛苦焦虑变为大笑，父母也更放松，说明 “魔术药” 起到了作用。“do the trick” 意为 “奏效，起作用”，与 A 项 “solve the problem” 意思相近。
12. How did Lara's parents feel after seeing their daughter laugh
A. More anxious.
B. More relaxed.
C. More scared.
D. More bored.
答案：B
解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段 “Seeing their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara's parents more relaxed” 可知，父母因女儿开心而更放松。A、C、D 与原文相反。
13. How did Lara react to Doctor Larry's magic trick
A. She cried even more.
B. Her scared look turned into a smile and laughter.
C. She ignored him completely.
D. She asked for her sock angrily.
正确答案：B.
解析：本题为细节理解题，考查学生追踪事件发展的能力。文章第五段详细描述：“her scared and anxious look has been replaced—first by a small smile, and then by loud laughter as I ‘magically’ produce her sock from out of my pocket.”这表明Lara从恐惧转为微笑和大笑。
选项A（哭得更多）与原文相反；C（完全忽视）错误，因为她的注意力被吸引；D（愤怒要求袜子）未提及。学生需定位第五段具体描述。
14. What effect did Lara's laughter have on her parents
A. They became more anxious.
B. They started crying too.
C. They felt more relaxed.
D. They left the hospital immediately.
正确答案：C.
解析：本题为细节理解题，考查学生识别因果关系的技能。文章第五段结尾直接指出：“Seeing their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara's parents more relaxed.”
选项A（更焦虑）和B（也开始哭）与原文矛盾；D（立即离开医院）未提及。学生需抓住“in turn”这一因果链。
15. What does the phrase "magic medicine" refer to in the passage
A. Real medical treatment for injuries.
B. Laughter produced by entertainment.
C. The doctors' examination process.
D. The chemicals in actual medicine.
正确答案：B.
解析：本题为词义猜测题，考查学生理解比喻含义的能力。短语“magic medicine”出现在：“And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trick.”上下文描述Larry用魔术让Lara大笑，缓解了疼痛（“her scared and anxious look has been replaced... by loud laughter”），并结合主题“laughter is the best medicine”，可推断“magic medicine”比喻笑声的疗效。
选项A（真正的医疗治疗）错误，因为Larry不是医生；C（医生检查过程）与Larry的魔术无关；D（实际药物化学物质）偏离主题。学生需结合上下文和主旨推断比喻义。
这是一个 主谓宾宾补（SVOc）结构：
主语（Subject）+ 谓语（Verb）+ 宾语（Object）+ 宾语补足语（Object Complement）。
主语（Subject）
Seeing their daughter so much happier
- 性质：动名词短语（非谓语动词结构）作主语，表达“看到他们的女儿如此开心得多”这一行为/情况，在句中承担名词性功能。
- 内部结构：
- 动名词Seeing 是核心动词（非谓语形式）；
- their daughter 是动名词的宾语（动作“看到”的对象）；
- so much happier是形容词短语作宾语补足语，补充说明“their daughter”的状态（“如此开心得多”），其中“so much”是程度状语，修饰比较级“happier”。
谓语（Predicate） has... made（现在完成时）
- 核心动词：
made（及物动词，“使；让”），体现句子的动作。
- 时态：与助动词 has 构成现在完成时，强调“看到女儿开心”这一过去发生的情况对现在造成的影响（父母更放松）。
宾语（Object） Lara's parents
- 是谓语动词“made”的动作对象，即“被使放松的人”，为名词短语作宾语。
4. 宾语补足语（Object Complement）more relaxed
- 性质：形容词比较级短语作宾补，补充说明宾语“Lara's parents”在动作“made”之后的状态（“更放松”），是“make + 宾语 + 宾补”结构的典型体现（使宾语呈现某种状态）。
总结
整体逻辑为：“A情况（看到女儿开心）反过来使B（劳拉的父母）呈现C状态（更放松）”。结构清晰体现了
“行为→影响→结果状态”的语义关系。
Seeing their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara's parents more .

relaxed
而我的灵药似乎确实取得了成效。当医生集中精力检查劳拉的脚踝时，我用魔术来吸引劳拉的注意力。看得出，尽管她显然仍有一些痛苦，但她恐惧和焦虑的表情已经不见了:先是一个小小的微笑，接着变成了大笑——因为我“魔术般地”从我的口袋里变出了她的一只袜子。看到女儿破涕为笑，劳拉的父母也松了一口气。

16. What is the author's attitude towards his job
A. Tired.
B. Doubtful.
C. Proud.
D. Worried.
答案：C
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “when I take off my wig... I'm still wearing a big smile” 及作者对工作意义的肯定（“laughter is the best medicine”）可知，他对这份工作感到自豪。A、B、D 与文意不符。
17. Why does the author end the passage with the quote "laughter is the best medicine"
A. To introduce a new medical treatment.
B. To summarize the central message about laughter's benefits.
C. To criticize the inefficiency of hospitals.
D. To emphasize the importance of magic tricks.
正确答案：B.
解析：本题为作者意图题，考查学生对文章结构和写作目的的分析能力。文章开头引入小丑医生，中间用实例和科学证据论证笑声的益处，结尾用谚语点题（“After all, it really is true that ‘laughter is the best medicine’”），起到总结主旨的作用。
选项A（介绍新疗法）错误，因为主题已贯穿全文；C（批评医院效率）与正面基调不符；D（强调魔术重要性）片面，魔术是手段，主题是笑声。学生需结合全文结构推断结尾功能。
18. What is the main idea of the passage
A. How to become a clown doctor.
B. The importance of laughter in hospitals.
C. A day in the life of a clown doctor.
D. Why do children hate going to hospitals.
答案：B
解析： 主旨大意题。文章通过小丑医生 Larry 的工作经历，讲述了笑声如何缓解病人的痛苦和焦虑，最终点明 “laughter is the best medicine”。A、D 未提及；C 是文章的叙事载体，核心是强调笑声的重要性，故选 B。
6 And as for me Well, when I take off my wig and my red nose, I'm still a big smile, as I remember all the fun and laughter of the day.While there might be more hospital visits ahead for Lara and others, I hope that clown doctors help make a friendlier place to visit.After all, it really is true that “laughter is the best medicine”
而我呢 当我摘下假发和红鼻子的时候，脸上仍然带着大大的微笑，因为我记得这天所有的乐趣和欢笑。也许将来，对于劳拉或者其他人来说，他们还有更多到医院就诊的需要，而我希望，小丑医生能够帮助医院成为一个更温暖友善的就诊场所。毕竟,“欢笑是最佳灵药”,这句话是千真万确的。
