Being very short of money and wanting to do something 2 , I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no 3 of teachi

14、ng my chances of getting the job were slight. 4 , three days later, a letter arrived, calling me to Croydon for a 5 with the headmaster. It proved to be a 6 journeya train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling

15、too hot to be nervous. It was clearly the 7 himself that opened the door. He was short and round. “The school,“ he said, “is made up of one class of twenty-four between seven and thirteen.“ I should have to teach all the subjects 8 art, which he taught himself. I should have to 9 the class into thre

16、e groups and teach them 10 at three different levels, and I was 11 at the thought of teaching matha 12 at which I wasn“t very 13 at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of having to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be 14 themselves at that time. Before I had time to as

17、k about my 15 , he got up to his feet. “Now,“ he said, “you“d better meet my wife.

It isn“t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy(喜剧) doesn“t

20、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 in the air. He hides behind a fat lady or climbs under a table to escape from

21、 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 Chaplin“s huge success. He discovered the character of the little tramp almost by accident. As a young man he and his brother trave

22、led 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 reputation: black hat, tight coat, big trousers, huge shoes, moustache(胡须) and walking

23、 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 full of actions. The little man played fast-moving games of hide-and-seek with

24、 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 amused his audience by his actions.D.Chaplin always did the same actions in his f

27、e(5).Chaplin“s films were full of the following action EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.boating down riversB.racing down city streetsC.jumping on trainsD.riding bicycles六、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children“s languag

28、e 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 increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-ol

29、d 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-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. F

30、or 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 to praise correct answers. At the beginning of th

31、e 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, the children in the experimental group still sh

32、owed 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.C.Active children should read more and be given

34、ent.(3).According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?（分数：2.00）A.Do you see the elephant?B.Is the elephant in the cage?C.What animals do you like?D.Shall we go to the zoo?(4).The difference between the control group and the experimental group was _.

35、（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 more children read, the more intelligent they

36、 will becomeC.children“s language skills increase when they are required to respond activelyD.children who read actively seem six months old七、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Do you ever automatically say “God bless you“ when someone sneezes? Did you ever cross your fingers when making a wish? Most people w

37、ho 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 modern world, when

38、 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 outside world. S

39、o, 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 serious purpose.

40、 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 the left, and t

41、he 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 tuck at whatever you were about to do. We still speak of “putting your best foot forwa

42、rd“, although we don“t 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 don“t have superstitionsD.superstitions are foolish(2).Ancient men believed

43、 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 superstition, evil

44、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 fingers八、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)If you say, “T

45、he cat“s out of the 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

46、 and proverbs are part of our daily speech, and many are very old and have interesting histories. Now let“s 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 p

47、rove it. He had heard 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. Regardles

48、s of its origin, this 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 narro

49、wly escapes a disaster.（分数：10.00）(1).The purpose of this article is to _.（分数：2.00）A.compare idioms and proverbsB.explain the meaning of some interesting everyday expressionsC.show the importance of using proverbs and idioms in your writingD.to tell the difference between idioms and proverbs(2).It can be inferred from the article that _.（分数：2.00）A.it is difficult to guess th
