Ⅴ.阅读理解
Dr.Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September 2001.It is the largest study of humor.Participants(参加者)are invited to log on the
laugh lab website，give a few personal details，tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.
The project will last for a year，and the organizers hope to finally discover the world's funniest joke.But there is also a serious purpose.The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny.And they want to find out the differences between the male and female senses of humor.The idea is that if we want to understand each other，we have to find out what makes us laugh.
This is a subject that has long interested psychologists(心理学家)and philosophers(哲学家)．Most of the time，people are not completely honest.We do things that society expects of us and say things that help us get what we want.But laughing cannot be controlled.When we laugh，we tell the truth about ourselves.
By December 2001，over 10,000 jokes had been submitted.This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions.It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor，for instance.
“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor，” said Dr.Wiseman.“Male s use humor to appear superior(优越)to others，while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”
Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor.The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”．But the French like their jokes short and sharp：“You're a high priced lawyer.Will you answer two questions for $500？” “Yes.What's the second question？”
The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor.But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality.Perhaps that proves the point.Is this joke funny？I don't know，but let's say yes，just to be safe.
Dr.Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer.But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing.Perhaps this is puters already seem like they can do everything.At least they should leave the funny stuff to us. 1．Scientists started “the laugh lab” project________.
A．to find the funniest joke in European countries
B．to know what funny people from different nations and cultures find C．to find out the differences between the male and female senses of humor D．to get more personal details about participants
答案 C [由第二段的第四句话“And they want to find out the differences between the male and female senses of humour.”可知C项为正确答案。

] 2．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．most of the people all over the world are completely honest B．psychologists and philosophers take interest in “the laugh lab” project
C．ordinary people are not interested in “the laugh lab” project at all
D．people tell the truth about themselves only when they laugh
答案 B [由第三段的第一句话“This is a subject that has long interested psychologists and philosophers.”可知。

]
3．What is the main idea of the fourth and fifth paragraphs?
A．Men and women have different senses of humor.
B．Males and females have similar senses of humor.
C．About 10,000 jokes have been submitted from September 2001 to December 2001.
D．Scientists have collected enough evidence to make conclusions.
答案 A [第四段的第四句话为两段的主题句。

“It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor，for instance.”说明A项为正确答案。

] 4．The writer gave the examples of the British，the French and the Germans________.
A．to show that the French people have a better sense of humor
B．to prove that the British people have a sense of “toilet humor”C．to show people from different nations have different senses of humor D．to prove that the Germans have no sense of humor
