Answer 1

分析 本文主要介绍World Laughter Day（世界大笑日）的历史．

解答 61．laughter 考查名词．分析句子结构，宾语从句中缺少主语，要用名词作主语，动词laugh的名词是laughter．
62．of 考查介词．the cause of意为"…的原因"，是固定搭配．
63．meant 考查动词时态和语态．be meant to意为"旨在"，是固定搭配，表示的是一般事实，要用一般现在时的被动语态．
64．be celebrated 考查动词语态．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词day指事，在从句中作主语，与celebrate之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态．
65．by 考查介词．在被动语态中由介词by引出动作的执行者．
66．began 考查动词时态．根据句中时间状语in 1995表示过去时间，要用一般过去时．
67．where 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词class表示模糊化地点，在从句中作状语，用关系副词where．
68．Though 考查连词．根据句意：尽管刚开始只有五个人上课，很快这种有趣的锻炼传开了．前后两个句子用连词though引导让步状语从句．
69．surprisingly 考查副词．修饰句子要用副词，名词surprise的副词是surprisingly，意为"惊人地；出人意外地"．
70．organizing 考查动名词．suggest是及物动词，后接动名词短语organizing the celebrations in public places 作宾语．
