試題分析：英語中有一句俗語“笑是一劑良藥”，但是，人們似乎并不是太在意這句話�，F(xiàn)在，醫(yī)生開始對笑展開研究。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，笑能夠改善人的健康狀況

【1】F根據(jù)“There is an English saying”可知，這里說的是英語諺語；根據(jù)“look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body”可知，醫(yī)生開始研究笑對人體的作用，F(xiàn)“笑是一劑良藥”符合語境，故選F。

【2】G根據(jù)上句“...doctors have begun to...”可知，這里指代doctors，應該用代詞主格they，E項太絕對，G“他們發(fā)現(xiàn)笑確實能夠改善人們的健康狀況”，故選G

【3】D根據(jù)前一句“doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles”可知，醫(yī)生研究了人們的心率、血壓、呼吸和肌肉狀況，D項是研究的結果，故選D

【4】C根據(jù)第三段“laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body”可知，其它的實驗研究的是笑能減輕疼痛，C項說的是笑能減輕疼痛的原因，故選C

【5】B根據(jù)“their patients”可知，這里指的是醫(yī)生，與B項中的“some doctors in the United States”一致，故選B
