问题共用题干 Ha!The Sdence of When We Laugh and Why
It's certainly possible to over-analyze a joke._______(46)Considering the abundant research on the topic,maybe not.
Scott Weems,a neuroscientist,takes readers on a wide-ranging tour that explains what humor is and why readers should care.______(47)Humor improves interpersonal relationships,and studies show that simply watching a funny movie can lower stress,improve immune system response and even help viewers better solve problems.
The complexity of the human brain makes humor possible,Weems argues,and it also helps explain how some people can find a joke hilarious while others deem it grossly offensive.
Humor takes many forms-as many as 44 by one researcher's count-but shares certain traits and themes.From puns and riddles to slapstick（打闹剧）,humor is inherently subversive , Weems says , often treating serious subjects with frivolity（轻浮）or even rudeness.______(48) Ha ! Isn ' t a self-help guide to being funny , though a careful reader can find useful nuggets（块金） throughout?______( 49 ) Surprise helps , too , whether it ' s the incongruity（不协调）of an elephant hiding in a cherry tree or the absolute improbability of Raquel Welch and the pope ending up in the same lifeboat.
The final chapter divulges（透露）Weems's semi-successful attempt at stand-up comedy.He got a few laughs,he says,but not where he expected them. ______(50)The joke that got Weems the most laughs,and judged by one website's readers as the best in the world,is a story that he had practiced many dozens,maybe hundreds,of times.

选项 _______(50) A:Prisoners of war and others in dire situations,for instance,often turn to dark humor. B:It turns out that humor influences health and social well-being in many ways. C:The funniest jokes carry a little edginess（急躁）,but not too much. D:But can the same be said for humor as a whole? E:Maybe practice does make perfect. F:Laughter is the bridge between dreams and reason,and ev6ry good bridge needs abutments.

答案 E

解析空格前一句提到，笑话是完全可以分析的；空格后一句又说“或许不可以”。所以可以推测出，空格处与空格前一句应该是转折关系。且空格后一句是答语，可知空格处应为问句。只有D项符合题意。
结合上下文语境，空格处应该是幽默的好处，且应与空格后所列举的幽默的具体益处相一致，故选B。
第四段主要讲的是幽默的不同类型和本质特征，因此空格处也应为幽默的一种类型，A项讲的黑色幽默符合题意。
空格前一句表明，一些小技巧可以帮助你变得有意思或幽默，虽然聪明人可以看出其中的小手段。空格处选C项：最爆料的笑话可能有点故意为之，来博取人们一笑，但也并不是那么操之过急。空格后内容运用surprise的例子也可以很好地说明这一点。
空格前说的是Weems的喜剧的笑点并不多，空格后说的是他最受欢迎的笑话，特别是通过空格后的“…he had practiced many dozens …”中的“practiced”一词可知，讲笑话或许也可以熟能生巧，因此选E。
