本文是一篇議論文。主要內(nèi)容論述了微笑的影響力是非常大的——微笑是善意的傳達(dá)者。

【1】根據(jù)空前的內(nèi)容可知，狗狗們看到我們很高興，高興得幾乎要跳出來了�？芍�D選項(xiàng)中的them指代前文的dogs，且和前文內(nèi)容成因果關(guān)系，語義（所以，我們看到他們也很高興）相呼應(yīng)，故選D。

【2】根據(jù)空前的內(nèi)容可知，年輕的婦女抱著嬰兒坐在一位先生旁邊，這個(gè)嬰兒看著那位先生微笑著，故可知A選項(xiàng)中的he指代前文gentleman，嬰兒對(duì)著他笑，他也對(duì)著嬰兒笑了笑，語義承接上文，故選A。

【3】根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知，由一個(gè)微笑引起的愉快的經(jīng)歷，可見微笑的力量是強(qiáng)大的，故可知G選項(xiàng)的前半句承接上文，再由下文的最后一句可知，你的微笑從電話中流露出來，可見微笑即使不被人看見，力量也是強(qiáng)大的，故G項(xiàng)的后半句承接下文，故選G。

【4】根據(jù)空前的句子可知，你不喜歡笑嗎？可知，E選項(xiàng)恰好是其的答語，那就強(qiáng)迫自己微笑吧，故選E。

【5】根據(jù)空前內(nèi)容可知，你的微笑是你善意的信使，B選項(xiàng)Your smile和前句呼應(yīng)，且根據(jù)下文可知，你的微笑可以幫助他人感受到世界并非都是絕望，可見你的微笑照亮了那些能看到微笑的人，B選項(xiàng)能承接下文，故選B。

英語表達(dá)中，代詞出現(xiàn)的頻率極高。代詞主要用于指代前面提到的人或物，有時(shí)也是為了區(qū)別前面提到的名詞或概念。巧妙利用這樣的指代關(guān)系及差異可以準(zhǔn)確而快速地解題。本文的第一題和第二題運(yùn)用這種方法可以迅速解題。
