ACharlie Chaplin was one of the greatest and widely loved silent movie stars. 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 andlovable 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 sh ort 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 audience’s 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.B．Charlie Chaplin signed to Keystone Studios in 1906.C．Charlie Chaplin made five short films in 1914.D．Charlie Chaplin has a grea t effect on today’s 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?A．lovable B．kind-hearted C．strict D．awkward24. What do you think is the passage about?A．Life of Chaplin B．Works of ChaplinC．Characters of Chaplin D．An 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 spoken．Experts 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 themselves．Understanding body language is important to success, whether in the business world or in our personal lives．However, most of our ideas about body language are wrong, according to modern communication research．There is a belief that people with shifty （变化的）eyes are probably lying．As 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 winners．But sometimes people act like that because they are shy．Liars pretend to be calm in order not to be caught．Ekman goes on to argue against such a wrong belief．Although this kind of body language is probably an expression of nervousness, it is not always because the person is lying．Shyness can, f or example, make people shift their eyes．To understand what someone's behavior means, you have to watch them carefully．There is also a belief that when meeting someone, the more eye contact , the better．As 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 human．Yet 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 nervous．In short, you must carefully consider the speaker and the speaking environment．Experts suggest that unless you know about someone's basic communication style, you will have little hope in understanding their true feelings through body language．In other words, body language carries important but not always true messages．25．According to the passage, body language is _____．A．a language that is not spoken B．a clue to get the meaning[来源C．a reflection of people's behaviors D．a source of human communication 26．The word "that" in paragraph 3 refers to ____．A．blinking B．lying C．staring D．pretending27. From the passage we can learn that ____．A．there is no doubt that a liar has shifty eyesB．people sometimes blink because of shynessC．eye contact lasting a few seconds can make us nervousD．understanding body language is more helpful in business28．How many examples are given by the writer to support his point of view?A．1．B．2．C．3．D．4．29．It can be inferred from the passage that _____．A．body language is trustworthy in telling who is lyingB．body language helps us better understand other peopleC．sometimes we can't judge a person by watching his body languageD．the 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 you’re 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 won’t dry aren’t so much fun.You don’t want to pack too much food, as you will probably want to experience at least some of the fo od offered at the theme park of your choice(that’s half of the fun), but it’s 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 it’s 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.It’s 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. It’s 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. we’d 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 toolB.A kind of musical instrumentC.A kind of CD playerD.A kind of phoneDIf you’ve never bought organic food, you might be wondering what’s 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 man y people buy it because they think it’s better for their health. Whether that’s 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 it’s also one of the bi ggest 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 they’re 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, you’re doing away with expensive chemicals ... so shouldn’t they be cheaper? Organic farming is typically a more labor-intensive way of farming and that’s why it costs more. As a responsible (有责任的) consumer, it’s 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 people’s 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 ofB. getting rid ofC. keeping away fromD. taking advantage of35. What’s the author’s 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。
