26、 Several recent studies have suggested that women experience laughter more than men. According to medical experts, laughter isn't just about having fun—it actually has many health benefits. Studies have shown that the act of laughing can lower blood pressure, reduce stress and improve immune function(免疫功能).
Not only that, but laughter can also provide benefits similar to that of an anti-depressant. When you laugh, your body releases endorphins(内啡肽)which results in a general feeling of health and well-being. Regular laughter can play a role in helping you to avoid many health problems. Thus, not only do women tend to laugh more than men, they are also more likely to "have the last laugh".
According to a study conducted at the Stanford University of Medicine, gender( 性别)can affect the way that a person's brain responds to humor. The study, which involved the monitoring of 10 men and 10 women watching cartoons, shows that women are more likely than their male peers to use the part of the brain that processes rewards. It seemed that women had lower expectations in regard to a reward (in this case, the reward being the punch-line of the joke or cartoon), which resulted in them enjoying the experience more than the men. Men, on the other hand, seemed to expect that they would find the cartoons humorous, and were therefore more likely to be disappointed and find them less amusing.
Women are more likely to respond to men whom they find humorous and men seem to recognize this and do their best to make women laugh. It has been shown that women are more likely to laugh in the presence of men whom they have an attraction towards and men are more likely to be attracted to women who laugh in their presence because it makes them feel more desirable. Obviously, it is more important to men that a woman appreciates their humor.
【1】The studies show that regular laughter can ______.
A.raise blood pressure B.keep us nervous
C.make immune function worse D.keep us healthy and happy
【2】Why do women experience laughter more than men?
A.Because they like telling humorous stories. B.Because they like watching cartoons.
C.Because they expect little of a reward. D.Because they seldom respond to humor.
【3】From the last paragraph we can infer ______.
A.women dislike humorous men B.men dislike humorous women
C.laughter makes women humorous D.humorous men make women happy
【4】What's the main idea of the passage ?
A.Women enjoy humor more than men
B.Laughter has many health benefits
C.Women laugh more than men
D.Humorous men are popular with women
27、The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world. This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang’an (known today as Xi’an), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.
So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. While this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils (风险).
【1】The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _________.
A.making huge profits
B.traveling the Silk Road

【3】What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert?
A.Travelers were offered free accommodation.
B.They were located around the edges of the desert.
C.They were shared by travelers from different countries.
D.Exchanging goods and ideas there was entirely without risk.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The origins of the Silk Road.
B.The benefits of the Silk Road.
C.The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.
D.The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.
28、More and more consumers across the country are using cashless payment methods. The rapid development of third-party mobile payment tools is helping to encourage cashless payments across the country, said Dong Ximiao, a researcher at the Renmin University of China.
Although there were 3. 4 billion third-party payment accounts(帐户)in total in China in 2016 . China is not the first country to seek a cashless society. Developed states like Sweden , Denmark and Singapore are also seeing that increase.
However, the rapid development of cashless payments does not mean there are no challenges and criticisms. Alibaba's Hema store has come into the spotlight recently. Media reports said that consumers can’t buy goods with cash there, which would be considered illegal.
Alipay and WeChat Pay, the nation's two major third party mobile payment tools, also launched campaigns this month to encourage more people to use cashless payment methods, which caused concern over whether cash will soon disappear.
“Some offline sellers refuse to accept cash, which influences the natural circulation(流通)of cash," said Dong. He stressed that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear. Also it’s important to remember that nearly half of China's population live in the countries, unable to enjoy innovation (革新)brought by the Internet, Dong said. And when it comes to China's senior citizens most of them prefer to use cash in their daily lives, he added.
“It's ridiculous(荒谬的)to question digital payment tools' contribution to financial development. In the long term, various payment methods will be used by consumers, and merchants should respect consumers' payment habits. Dong noted.
【1】What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A.Economic activity.
B.A large amount of payment.
C.Development of economy.
D.Cashless payment.
【2】Why has Alibaba's Hema store become a focus?
A.It fights against illegal activities.
B.Customers are not permitted to use cash there.
C.It provides comprehensive services.
D.It starts campaigns to encourage mobile payment.
【3】What is Dong Ximiao’s attitude towards the payment in future?
A.Cashless payment should be limited in the countryside.
B.The innovation from payment is ridiculous in fact.
C.Various payment methods should be encouraged.
D.Digital payment should replace cash completely.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Innovation on the Internet.
B.Cash or Cashless?
C.Payment online should replace cash.
D.Is the circulation of cash dying?
29、 Cambridge Dictionary has named 'up cycling' as its Word of the Year 2019.
Upcycling was chosen as the 'Word of the Day' which resonated (共鸣)most strongly with followers on the Dictionary's Instagram account. The noun— explained as the activity of making new furniture, objects, etc. out of old or used things or waste material — received more likes than any other 'Word of the Day' when shared on 4 July 2019. The number of times upcycling has been looked up on the Cambridge Dictionary website has risen by 181% since December of 2011, when it was first added to the online dictionary, and searches have doubled in the last year alone.
"We think it's the positive idea behind upcycling that appeals more than the word itself," said Wendalyn Nichols, Publishing Manager of the Cambridge Dictionary. "Stopping the progress of climate change, let alone turning it around, can seem impossible at times. Upcycling is a specific action a single human being can take to make a difference. " "Lookups of upcycling reflect the trend around individual actions to combat climate change—the youth activism started by Greta Thunberg; the growing trends of vegan and plant-based diets; reading and following the handbook There is No Planet B ; or fashion designers upcycling clothes to create their latest collections."
Other words on the shortlist for Word of the Year 2019 reflect the same concern with the effects of climate change, such as carbon sink (碳汇)and compostable (可降解的).
The Cambridge Dictionary editors use data from the website, blogs, and social media to identify and rank new additions to the Dictionary. They recognized upcycling as a word to include after noticing a sharp rise in searches for the word in 2010. Cambridge University Press has been publishing dictionaries for learners of English since 1995. Cambridge Dictionary began offering these dictionaries completely free of charge online in 1999.

A.The activity of reusing old things or waste material.
