题目内容

—The weather report says it will be tomorrow.
A.much hot B.more hotter C.the hottest D.much hotter
D
【解析】
试题分析:句意:多热的天气啊!天气预报说明天会更热。结合语境可知本句表示和今天的对比,故用形容词的比较级,比较级前不能再加more进行修饰,故选D。
考点:英语中的比较
点评:英语中在表示两个事物进行对比时,一般用比较级结构,常见搭配结构为比较级+than,但是当比较范围确定在两个事物之间时,即使句子结构有所不同也用比较级。也就是说,只要是两个事物进行对比,不管什么结构都用比较级。形容词的最高级表示在三个及三个以上的多个中进行比较,确定其比较范围是解答此类问题的关键,注意形容词最高级是特指前面定冠词不能省略。
Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world — and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria, “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest — I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real — and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!
