From “Easy Street” (1917) to “Modern Times” (1936), he made many of the funniest and most popular films of his time. He was best known for his character, the naive and lovable Little Tramp. The Little Tramp, a well meaning man in a raggedy suit with cane, always found himself wobbling into awkward situations and strangely wobbling away. More than any other figure, it is this kind-hearted character that we associate with the time before the talkies (sound films). Born in London in 1889, Chaplin first visited America with a theater company in 1907. Appearing as “Billy” in the play “Sherlock Holmes”, the young Chaplin toured the country twice. On his second tour, he met Mack Sennett and was signed to Keystone Studios to act in films. In 1914 Chaplin made his first one-reeler, “Making a Living”. That same year he made thirty-four more short films, including “Caught in a Cabaret”, “Caught in the Rain”, “The Face on the Bar-Room Floor”, and “His Trysting Place”. These early silent shorts allowed very little time for anything but physical comedy, and Chaplin was a master at it. Though Chaplin is of the silent movie era, we see his achievements carried through in the films of today. With the appearance of the feature-length talkies, the need for more subtle acting became apparent. To maintain the audiences attention throughout a six-reel film, an actor needed to move beyond constant comedy. Chaplin had demanded this depth long before anyone else. His strictness and concern for the processes of acting and directing made his films great and led the way to a new, more sophisticated, cinema.21. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A“The little Tramp” was the only character that Charlie Chaplin acted.BCharlie Chaplin signed to Keystone Studios in 1906.CCharlie Chaplin made five short films in 1914.DCharlie Chaplin has a great effect on todays sound film.22. What is the right order according to the passage?a. Charlie Chaplin made the film “ Easy Street”.b. The film “Caught in the rain” was made.c. Charlie Chaplin first visited America.d. Charlie Chaplin met Mack Sennett.e. “Modern Times” was made.A. d, c, a, e, b         B d, c, b, a, e           C. c, d, b, a, e          D. c, d, a, b, e23. Which word can best describe Charlie Chaplin according to the passage?Alovable Bkind-hearted Cstrict Dawkward 24. What do you think is the passage about?ALife of Chaplin BWorks of ChaplinCCharacters of Chaplin DAn introduction of ChaplinBMost people call it "body language" the clues（线索） to the meaning that we get from gesture, facial expressions, posture everything that isn't spokenExperts call it "nonverbal communication," but it means the same thing: a second source of human communication that is often more reliable to understanding what is really going on than the words themselvesUnderstanding body language is important to success, whether in the business world or in our personal livesHowever, most of our ideas about body language are wrong, according to modern communication researchThere is a belief that people with shifty （变化的） eyes are probably lyingAs Paul Ekman says, "When we asked people how they could tell if someone was lying, too much blinking（眨眼） and shifty eyes were the winnersBut sometimes people act like that because they are shyLiars pretend to be calm in order not to be caughtEkman goes on to argue against such a wrong beliefAlthough this kind of body language is probably an expression of nervousness, it is not always because the person is lyingShyness can, f or example, make people shift their eyesTo understand what someone's behavior means, you have to watch them carefullyThere is also a belief that when meeting someone, the more eye contact , the betterAs a result people would like to make initial （开始的） contact in formal situations, like a job interview, by staring fixedly at the other humanYet Ekman points out that most of us are comfortable with eye contact lasting a few seconds, but any eye contact that is longer than that can make us nervousIn short, you must carefully consider the speaker and the speaking environmentExperts suggest that unless you know about someone's basic communication style, you will have little hope in understanding their true feelings through body languageIn other words, body language carries important but not always true messages25According to the passage, body language is _Aa language that is not spoken Ba clue to get the meaning来源Ca reflection of people's behaviors Da source of human communication26The word "that" in paragraph 3 refers to _Ablinking Blying Cstaring Dpretending27. From the passage we can learn that _Athere is no doubt that a liar has shifty eyesBpeople sometimes blink because of shynessCeye contact lasting a few seconds can make us nervousDunderstanding body language is more helpful in business28How many examples are given by the writer to support his point of view?A1 B2 C3 D429It can be inferred from the passage that _Abody language is trustworthy in telling who is lyingBbody language helps us better understand other peopleCsometimes we can't judge a person by watching his body languageDthe speaker and the speaking environment are important to a person's body languageCBeing interested in a theme park since the time that I was a child, I have learned a thing or two over the years about packing for a day of fun. A trip to a theme park is always a adventure, but if youre not prepared, your day of fun could easily turn into a tiny little nightmare(噩梦). It is important to pack long sleeved(带袖的) shirts or jackets for all members of your family. I is also a good idea to pack an extra pair of socks for each member of the family, especially the children, as those wonderful water rides can be fun, but wet socks that wont dry arent so much fun.You dont want to pack too much food, as you will probably want to experience at least some of the food offered at the theme park of your choice(thats half of the fun), but its always a good idea to bring some energy increasing snacks, such as fruit, trail mix, etc. This can mean the difference between spending a lot of money on snacks or a little money on one or two good meals.Theme parks, while fun and exciting, can wear a person out, especially a child, so its important to keep hydrated(含水的). I would suggest packing one bottle of water per person, and possibly a couple of cans of soda or bottles of juice as well.Its a good idea to have at least two cell phones or even a set of “walkie-talkies” in the event that your family gets, separated in the park. Its a good idea to give one of these things to the children and one to the parents and make sure that each of them knows how to use it. This could be the difference between trouble and a happy ending,30. You should get well prepared before going to a theme park_.  A. because the trip always costs much moneyB. because there are always too many people in a theme park.C. so as not to suffer from bad dreams when going backD. so as to cut down your trip expenses and have more fun31. From the passage, we can know_.  A. the author was fond of visiting theme parks when he was a childB. wearing wet socks in a theme park will bring children much funC. it is terrible to have a taste of the food offered in a theme park.D. wed better bring enough food, clothing and water when going to a theme park32. What does the underlined part “walkie-talkies” in the last paragraph probably refer to?  A. A kind of transportation tool           B.A kind of musical instrumentC.A kind of CD player                  D.A kind of phoneDIf youve never bought organic food, you might be wondering whats so special about it. Is it really better for you? How does that work? This text will give you a short introduction to the subject. Organic food is produced without the use of artificial fertilizers or pesticides (insect and bug killers) and many people buy it because they think its better for their health. Whether thats true or not is still debated, but there are lots of other reasons for organic food. Intensive agriculture (集约型农业) gives us cheap and plentiful food, but its also one of the biggest sources of environmental pollution. According to a report by the World Resources Institute, half of all the chemical fertilizers ever produced have been used since 1984. Fertilizers and the much more deadly pesticides and herbicides (weed killers) used with them finally find their way into rivers and seas. Sometimes they break down harmlessly, but theyre just as likely to build up in creatures that eat them (including humans). Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is one way to help reduce the problem.Many people find it puzzling that organic products are more expensive. After all, youre doing away with expensive chemicals . so shouldnt they be cheaper? Organic farming is typically a more labor-intensive way of farming and thats why it costs more. As a responsible (有责任的) consumer, its up to you to decide where to put your money. Are you happy to buy products that may have been grown in a harmful way? Are you willing to pay more to buy organic products that may help to protect the environment?33. Which of the following does the author agree on?A. Organic food is better for peoples health.B. Organic food is better for the environment.C. Organic food tastes better than traditional food.D. Organic food can be produced in great amounts.34. The underlined words “doing away with” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “_”.A. making use of B. getting rid ofC. keeping away from D. taking advantage of35. Whats the authors attitude towards organic food?A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain.C. Worried. D. Supportive.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Are you full of exciting new ideas for your business, but short on implementation (实施)? Actually, the ideas that stay in your head wont ever earn income. 36 So how do you make sure that you put your ideas into action? Here are my top four tips for getting things done. 37 Henriette Anne Klauser, author of “Write it down, make it happen”, says that by expressing your wishes, you are more likely to reach your goals. Im regularly amazed at how things on my “to do” list get finished though some of them were considered to be extremely difficult. Determine the next action.Theres a good chance that your list is a mixture of actions. Unless you determine the next action for each project, they will simply stay on your list. Youll get an unpleasant feeling every time you think of it and youll be no further forward. 38 Dont try to do it all at once. 39 Youll get more done if you plan activities around your best hours. For example, I like to schedule calls with my team early in the day when my concentration (专心) is higher. In the late afternoon my creativity (创造力) drops, so I try to schedule tasks and activities that require little creative energy for that time of the day. Keep track.Check in on your list regularly to track your progress and determine next action items. _40 Illness, family problems, unexpected setbacks can not stop you, as long as you
