13．1always figured that comedians were the best kind of people to hang around with as a kid．They tell funny stories，make joke after joke，and happiness seems never to leave them．But time goes on，and we come to see these same people as clowns on the outside，but crying a river in the inside．Comedy from these people comes from a deep pain and sadness in their lives，or out of a deep-seated anger they have at the world around them．
Look at Richard Pryor，need I say more？Richard seemed to have everything．For Superman，he ended up getting more money than Christopher Reeve did．Yet he said while he was in his forties that the last truly happy moment he remembered in his life was when he was jumping around in the dirt while pretending to be a cowboy at the age of 10．This guy set himself on fire，and he played that for laugh while performing live at the Sunset Strip!Comedy was his constant weapon against pain，and he never held anything back．
The movie Funny People understand very well this gloomy field many comedians have to survive in．It stars Adam Sandler as George Simmons，a famous comedian in the movie．Simmons has it all：a beautiful mansion overlooking the sea，a swimming pool，great cars，and so on．But in his eyes，we see that he is a sad man who has come to truly look down upon himself for what he has become．All the wealth he has collected only serves to separate him from the rest of the world and it makes him defensive when around total strangers who cannot see him as a normal person．But now，he hears from his doctor that he has a terminal disease and has only months left to live．Simmons reacts to this news as if someone took away his blood in the heart，and it makes him clearly see just how much he hates his life．So now he has to make every minute count．Then come a series of funny stories．
Comedy is just life as it is，isn't it？

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了喜剧的背后其实是悲伤的升华，然后通过不同的例子来证明．作者认为生活中总是充满了很多痛苦，只是喜剧人员将痛苦进行了加工．
解答 32．D．细节理解题．根据文章第一段末"Comedy from these people comes from a deep pain and sadness in their lives，or out of a deep-seated anger they have at the world around them"这些人他们的生活喜剧来自深深的痛苦和悲伤，或从一个深层次的愤怒；可知喜剧来自经历痛苦的人，即这些人会把这些痛苦经历转化为喜剧形式来表达；故选D．

34．A．推理判断题．根据文章第三段All the wealth he has collected only serves to separate him from the rest of the world and it makes him defensive when around total strangers who cannot see him as a normal person．可知是 钱使Simon和外界隔离了，并且始终对陌生人有一种防卫感，而其他人也没有把他看作是正常人；因此George Simmons不开心是因为他不被外面的世界接受；故选A．
35．B．主旨大意题．通读全文，可知文章从一开始就说喜剧的背后其实是悲伤的升华，然后通过不同的例子来证明．作者认为生活 中总是充满了很多痛苦，只是喜剧人员将痛苦进行了加工；故选B．
