13、ost silent. It isn t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy(喜剧)doesn t depend upon words of language, but on the little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. In his films, Chaplin raises his thick black eyebrow(眉毛). He straightens his coat or swings his walking stick
14、in the air. He hides behind a fat lady or climbs under a table to escape from his enemies. Trying to be brave, he faints away on the floor. He pretends to be what he is not and never could bea rich, successful, important man. It is the secret of Chaplins huge success. He discovered the character of
15、the little tramp almost by accident. As a young man, he and his brother traveled to America in a small company of actors and acted in various cities. One day Chaplin was invited to join a new company that was making comedies. It was in his second film that he wore the clothes that made his reputatio
16、n: black hat, tight coat, big trousers, huge shoes, moustache(胡须.)and walking stick. He intended simply to make people laugh. But the odd disguises(扮相)made him look both comic and sad. His appearance was a popular success, right from the beginning. But his early films hadn t much story. They were fu
17、ll of actions. The little man played fast-moving games of hide-and-seek with his enemies, racing down city streets, jumping on trains, and boating down rivers.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is true?（分数：2.00）A.Chaplin was a homeless traveler.B.Chaplin hardly did actions in films.C.Chaplin amuse

21、n can greatly increase their children s language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child s language skills i
22、ncrease. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study: the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-end
23、ed questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “ What is the doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how t
24、o praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5. 5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later
25、, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more

28、trol group and the experimental group was_.（分数：2.00）A.the training that parents receivedB.the age of the childrenC.the books that were readD.the number of the children(5).The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that_.（分数：2.00）A.parents should be trained to read to their childrenB.the mor
29、e children read, the more intelligent they will becomeC.children s language skills increase when they are required to respond activelyD.children who read actively seem six months oldDo you ever automatically say “God bless you“ when someone sneezes? Did you ever cross your fingers when making a wish
30、? Most people who do these things never think about why they do them. They just do them. But there is a reason. Both acts are meant to insure good luck. They are little superstitions that have come down to us from an earlier time, when everybody believed in good and evil spirits. And even in our mod
31、em world, when men are traveling to the moon, we are still practicing some of these ancient habits in our daily lives. In ancient times, men believed that the soul lived in the head. Every time someone sneezed, he was risking the danger of dislodging that soul and blowing it out the nose into the ou
32、tside world. So, as insurance against a lost soul, people would say “God bless you“ to be sure that God would catch the soul and return it to its rightful owner. Some people today toss a bit of salt over their left shoulder if they happen to spill any at the dinner table. This practice once had a se
33、rious purpose. In an earlier time, men believed that evil spirits always stood on their left side and good spirits on the right. So any time they spilled some of the precious stuff, they would throw a bit of it over their left shoulder to keep away the evil spirits. Since the evil spirits stood on t
34、he left, and the good spirits on the right, the right side was considered the lucky side of the body. Putting your best foot forward meant starting out on the lucky side, with your right foot first. That was a guarantee of good luck at whatever you were about to do. We still speak of “putting your b
35、est loot forward“ , although we dont always start walking with the right foot.（分数：10.00）(1).The main idea of the passage is that_.（分数：2.00）A.people still believe in superstitionsB.there are reasons behind many superstitionsC.people today dont have superstitionsD.superstitions are foolish(2).Ancient
36、men believed that the soul lived in the_.（分数：2.00）A.heartB.stomachC.headD.feet(3).Today, most people practice superstitions_.（分数：2.00）A.without realizing itB.because it s part of their religionC.because superstitions have proven to be trueD.because superstitions are amusing(4).According to superstit
37、ion, evil spirits stood_.（分数：2.00）A.to the left of peopleB.behind peopleC.to the right of peopleD.in front of people(5).To make a wish come true, you should_.（分数：2.00）A.say “God bless you“B.fling salt over your shoulderC.put your best foot forwardD.cross your fingersIf you say, “The cat s out of the
38、 bag“ instead of “The secret is given away(泄露)“ , you are using an idiom. The meaning of an idiom is different from the actual meaning of the words used. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away“ is a proverb. Proverbs are old but familiar sayings that usually give advice. Both idioms and proverbs are
39、part of our daily speech, and many are very old and have interesting histories. Now lets see the following two examples. “Saved by the bell“: In 17th-century England, a guard at Windsor Castle was accused of falling asleep at his post. He claimed he was wrongly accused and could prove it. He had hea
40、rd the church bell chime thirteen times at mid-night. Townspeople supported his claim and he was not executed. Today we think of the bell that ends a round in boxing, often saving the boxer from injury, or the bell at the end of a class period, saving you from more work. Regardless of its origin, th
41、is idiom means rescue(救援)from a situation at the last possible moment. “A close shave“ : In the past, student barbers learned to shave on customers. If they shaved too close, their clients might be cut or even barely escape serious injury. Today, we use the idiom if a person narrowly escapes a disas

43、he article that_.（分数：2.00）A.it is difficult to guess the meaning of idiomsB.you should not use idioms in your writingC.proverbs are more common than idiomsD.you should be careful to use proverbs and idioms(3).Which of these statements is an example of “a close shave“?（分数：2.00）A.My brother bought a n
