" But 1 despite some claims to the contrary, chuckling probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does 2 produce short-term changes in cardiovascular function and respiration, 3 boosting heart rate, respiratory rate and depth, as well as oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to 4 sustain, a good guffaw is unlikely to have 5 measurable cardiovascular benefits the way, say, walking or jogging does。
6 In fact, instead of straining muscles to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the7 opposite. Studies dating back to the 1930s indicate that laughter8 relaxes muscles, decreasing muscle tone for up to 45 minutes after the guffaw subsides。

4、完形填空&填词
中考英语完形填空&填词分析:年份年份及难度星级2009年☆☆☆☆2010年☆☆☆☆2011年☆☆☆2012年☆☆☆分值25分15分15分15分篇数2篇1篇1篇1篇字数第一篇157字第二篇385字320字332字302字题材生活故事(邻居,士兵做汤)人物生活(爱拍照的人)生活故事(残疾孩子母亲的经历)教育性故事(孩子面对失败)从上表我们可以得出以下结论:1.考查方式渐渐固定:从2009年以后都是每年考查1篇,15小题,300字左右。
2.题材固定在生活故事上:完型在选材时注重选择与孩子们生活很接近的文章,比如,校园事件,故事,社区事件,故事,名人励志故事和社会热点大事。
3.难度适中:2010年的文章最难。
一般情况下文章不会太难,读懂没有问题,但要选出正确的选项还是需要仔细推敲的。
4.重视词汇和上下文关联:对孩子们基础词汇的要求较高,要求孩子熟知基础词汇的用法,近义词区别,固定搭配及其基础词汇另外的特殊含义。
另外,在做题过程中要学会根据上下文来推测答案,有时在文中甚至可以找到原词,所以遇到不会的题目不必害怕,做好记号,沉着应对。
Tips:1、做题顺序:一定是先快速浏览文章,再做题。
浏览文章需达到的目标:(1)了解文章的大概主题(第一句话,第一句话一定不会设空)(2)了解文章行文思路(注意转折等地方)2、当达到炉火纯青的地步时,应该能够看到文章,不看选项就知道填什么词。
在选择选项时直奔自己先前脑海中跳出的词语,这样可以跳过各个选项的陷阱。
完型填空主要测验学生的语言综合运用能力,包括基础知识的掌握和运用,对整个文章逻辑联系的理解,在情景中辨析词义的能力以及词组短语搭配的使用能力,这是大部分考生认为难度最大的考查项目。
有些考生的听力基础知识部分做的还比较好,但是完型填空却只能做对一两道,有的甚至对完型填空产生了恐惧心理,导致全军覆没。
其实只要我们有信心,有良好的心理素质,再加上一定的技巧,完型填空并不是不可逾越的鸿沟。

Fruit flies who were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly 2 to live shorter lives. This suggests that 3 bulbs burn longer, that there is an 4 in not being too terrifically bright.Intelligence, it 5 , is a high-priced option. It takes more upkeep, burns more fuel and is slow 6 the starting line because it depends on learning a 7 process instead of instinct. Plenty of other species are able to learn, and one of the things they’ve apparently learned is when to 8 .Is there an adaptive value to 9 intelligence? That’s the question behind this new research. I like it. Instead of casting a wistful glance 10 at all the species we’ve left in the dust I.Q.-wise, it implicitly asks what the real 11 of our own intelligence might be. This is 12 the mind of every animal I’ve ever met.Research on animal intelligence also makes me wonder what experiments animals would 13 on humans if they had the chance. Every cat with an owner, 14 , is running a small scale study in operant conditioning. I believe that 15 animals ran the labs, they would test us to 16 the limits of our patience, our faithfulness, our memory for terrain. They would try to decide what intelligence in humans is really 17 , not merely how much of it there is. 18 , they would hope to study a 19 question: Are humans actually aware of the world they live in?20 the results are inconclusive.1.[A] Suppose[B] Consider[C] Observe[D] Imagine2.[A] tended[B] feared [C] happened[D] threatenedstabler3.[A] thinner[B] stabler[C] lighter[D] dimmer4.[A] tendency[B] advantage[C] inclination[D] priority5.[A] insists on[B] sums up[C] turns out[D] puts forward6.

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And 36 otherwise assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the back of the classroom.All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 48 “just yet”.I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “53” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 54 raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.36. A. as B. until C. unless D. though37. A. hoped B. agreed C. meant D. chose38. A. continued B. changed C. settled D. started39.
