单项选择题
Which of the following statements is NOT true of comedy according to the passage
A．Present comedy is funnier than the past.
B．People’s conception on comedy remains unchanged for decades.
C．Contemporary comedy tends to be superficial.
D．Old comedy was considered thought-provoking.
答案
参考答案：B
解析：对比表达的识别和判断。原文将喜剧的过去和现在加以对比，听者可发现“The present…laugh the hardest，the past...laugh the best．Today...physical comedy，cerebral comedy of the past” 。由此可判断，人们对喜剧的看法是有变化，而非一成不变的。因此，选项b的说法符合题意，是正确答案。 注意：掌握表示对立概念的表达结构和词语有助于迅速解题。如本文中使用的the present和the past；today和the past。
