三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Chaplin, one of the greatest and funniest actors, was born in London in 1889. When a poor boy, he was often seen waiting outside the London theatres, hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn’t get work and therefore wandered about the city streets.
Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five. He broke into show business because his mother, a music-hall performer, lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage, and Charlie went on and sang a well-known song. Halfway through the song, a shower of money poured onto the stage. Charlie stopped singing and told audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song. The audiences laughed. This was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin’s fabulous(神话) career.
Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world. His dream came true in the world. His dream came true in the end. Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.
Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are mostly silent. The equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed. The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin, as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues. Instead, he coninued to make films without di alogue, but he added music, which he wrote himself. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend on words. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people the world over.
Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the last years in Switzerland, where he was buried at Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
In his book, Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life. He says, “You have to believe in yourself. That’s the secret.”

D. though he is always in trouble, he never loses heart
59. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

as ghosts, skeleton devils, and various other characters, children knock on doors to collect their treats. Seldom do they actually perform a “trick”.
It is thought that trick-or-treating comes from an old English custom. On All Souls Day, poor people went begging and promised to say prayers in exchange for food. Apple bobbing, still a favorite Halloween game, was originally an ancient ceremony honoring the harvest time.
A jack-o’-lantern is placed on porches and windows to tell children that treats are available. The legend was that a man named Jack could enter heaven because he played tricks on the devil. As punishment, he had to wander the earth carrying a lantern waiting to be judged fit to get into heaven.
People believed that Halloween marked the connection between the world of the living and the world of the dead. This meant that ghosts would roam the earth on this night. Some believed that these ghosts would go back to the homes they lived in before they died.
Thankfully, Halloween is an amusing night when children can dress up and get
a bag full of candy. We don’t have to worry about ghosts. Or do we?
67. Apple bobbing was an ancient ceremony held originally to ____.
A. honor the harvest time
B. honor the dead
C. honor the living
D. play a trick on each other

A. come back
B. place
C. collect

A. On Halloween Night, children often dress up as ghosts.
B. On Halloween Night, children often perform tricks.
C,. Trick-or-treating comes from an old English custom.
D. Children can get a lot of candy on Halloween Night.
70. According to the passage, Halloween is a(n) ____ festival.
A. sad
B. bad
C. interesting
D. boring
BEIJING——The handsome face and muscular figure of Lin Dan make him an ideal candidate for the big screen.
However, the Chinese badminton superstar says any speculation about a career in the entertainment industry will have to wait until his on-court career ends.
“Right now, I'm just focused on the 2012 Olympic Games. I will not think about the possibility of acting as long as I'm still able to play the sport,” said 27-year-old Lin during a press conference on Sunday organized by razor (剃刀) brand Gillette.
The reigning(占优势）Olympic and world champion is determined to hold on until the 2012 London Olympics, even though he achieved a grand slam(大满贯）by winning the Asian Games in Guangzhou.
“I will try my best and hold on to play the 2012 Olympic Games,” said Lin, who won the MVP Award at the Asian Games thanks to his men's single title and his
overwhelming popularity with fans and the media.
“I know it will be a tough two years. I know rising stars and old foes will come up and pose bigger threats during my preparation. But I'm ready to accept the challenge,”‘Super Dan’ said.
The Asiad title was the only major crown missing from Lin's glittering resume, which includes one Olympic title and three consecutive world crowns.
He said the pressure going into the Asiad was even greater than that at the 2008 Beijing Games.
“I know lots of people expected me to pick up the title. There was big pressure on me,” said Lin, who was upset by Indonesia's Hidayat Taufik in the Doha final four years ago. “So when I did it, I felt more excited than when I won the Olympic title.”
68. From the passage we can know that___________________________.

B. Lin Dan will work on entertainment and badminton at the same time
C. Lin Dan has decided to take up badminton all his life.
D. Lin Dan won't consider join in the entertainment industry before he retires
69. We can infer that ________________________________________.
A. many athletes are afraid of the new opponent（对手）
B. Lin Dan will achieve his grand slam
C. Lin Dan is prepared to face the 2012 Olympic Games
D. Lin Dan beat Indonesia's Hidayat Taufik in 2006
70. Which can probably replace the underlined word “speculation”in Paragraph 2?
A. observation
B. prediction
C. contribution
D. consideration
71. Which statement is NOT true?
A. Lin Dan has won all kinds of titles of badminton.
B. The 2012 London Olympic Games had brought the biggest pressure to Lin Dan.
C. Lin Dan's success is partly due to the popularity with fans and the media.
D. Every year more new challengers will appear to compete with Lin Dan.
Does a Tea Break Make You More Efficient?
China has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong, 5,000 years ago. Britain’s relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjoys pride of place as the UK’s national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an
average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.
With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, £400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways?
One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.
Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if they’re often drinking it and then go without, they’ll feel tired and won’t work well.”
Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper.
And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a h ot drink: “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; they’re comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caffeine’s doing, I’d say these 24 minutes aren’t wasted.”
56. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.
B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.
C. Tea break plays an important role in people’s life in Britain.
D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.
57. We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _______.
A. £400 is lost in working hours for each person
B. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working day
C. people spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each year
D. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day
58. What’s Psychologist Coopers’ attitude towards tea break?
A. Doubtful.
B. Uncertain.
C. Negative.
D. Positive.
