Man is the only animal that laughs. Why is this true? What makes us respond as we【C1】______ to pleasurable experiences? What is the history of this "happy convulsion", as someone once【C2】______ it, and just what is its function?
We are not short【C3】______ theories to explain the mystery; for centuries, biologists, psychologists, and medical men have【C4】______ a definitive explanation of laughter. One writer theoried that its function is to intimidate others or to gain stature【C5】______ them by humiliating them. Another took the opposite view that we laugh in order not to cry. A psychologist offered the explanation that laughter functions as a remedy【C6】______ painful experiences, and that it serves to defend a person【C7】______ what the psychologist termed "the many minor pains【C8】______ which man is exposed". In the seventeenth century, a writer set【C9】______ the theory that we laugh when we compare ourselves with others and find ourselves superior; in effect, we laugh at the infirmities of others.【C10】______ every theory bas been concerned with either the structure or the function of laughter,【C11】______ relatively few have been devoted 【C12】______ the question of its origin. I propose to offer a theory which, so far as I am 【C13】______ , has not previously been set forth: that only those animals capable of speech are capable of laughter; and that therefore man, being the only animal that【C14】______ , is the only animal that laughs.
Those of us who have observed chimpanzees closely feel quite confident that the chimpanzee occasionally【C15】______ behavior that looks very much like a primitive precursor of human laughter. This behavior, however, has been observed only in a human【C16】______ ; whether or not it occurs under natural【C17】______ is dubious; but the 【C18】______ fact that under any condition an ape is capable of such behavior is【C19】______ more than passing【C20】______ for does it not indicate that early man had the rudiments of laughter?
【C11】
选项
A、therefore
B、whereas
C、so
D、to
答案
B
解析
此题考查连词用法。whereas意思是“然而,另一方面”,是转折连词,引导对比或对立的从句。相当于作连词用的while。如;He was poor,whereas/while his brother was very rich.他穷,而他兄弟却很富。
