8、ather was an entertainer and although not one of the big names, he was doing very well. His mother Hannah was also an entertainer. While they were by no means rich, the music hall provided the Chaplins with a comfortable living.Unfortunately happy life didnt last long. Fathers alcoholism was slowly,
9、 but surely destroying his marriage. Finally it ended in divorce. But Hannah was indomitable (不屈不挠的).Without her, Charlie Chaplin would have become just one more child lost in the poverty of Victorian London. Somehow she not only managed to keep Charlie and his brother Sydney clean and warm, clothed
10、 and fed, but she conjured (变戏法)little treats for them. She would sit at the window watching the passers-by and guess at their characters from the way they looked and behaved, spinning tales to delight Charlie and Syney. Charlie took in her skills and went on using them all his life.Charlie had alwa

With no experience at all,he was being offered the part of Billy, the pageboy (小听差) in a new production of “Sherlock Holmes“. “Sherlock Holmes“ op
12、ened on July 27, 1903 at the enormous “Pavilion Theatre“. Charlie seemed to change overnight. It was as if he had found the thing he was meant to do.In 1910, when Kamo set off on its yearly American tour, Charlie was regarded as “one of the best pantomime (哑剧)artists ever seen here. “ They had reach
13、ed Philadelphia when a telegram arrived and he was being offered the chance to replace a star in the Keystone film company.Cinema was born in the same year as Charlie, though people still believed it was a passing fad (一时的狂热，时尚), and would never replace live shows. He was kept hanging about for seve
14、ral weeks and he used the time to watch and learn. He was determined to master this new medium. It offered him the chance of money and success and it would set him free from the unpredictability of live audience.Charlies first film, released in February 1914, was called “Making a living“. Though it

19、changed. They are no longer places for the privileged few or for bored vacationers to visit on rainy days. Action and democracy are words used in descriptions of museums now.At a science museum in Ontario, Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.
20、At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, you can look at 17th century instruments while listening to their music. At the Modem Museum in Sweden, you can put on costumes provided by the Stockholm Opera. As these examples show, museums are reaching out to new audiences, particularly the you
21、ng, the poor, and the less educated members of the population. As a result, attendance is increasing.More and more, museums directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, for example, there are no guided tours. The v
22、isitor is encouraged to touch, listen, operate, and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself. He can have the experience of operating a spaceship or a computer. He can experiment with glass blowing and papermaking. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people
23、feel at home in the world of science. The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it, and those who fear science will not use it to the best advantage. Many museums now provide educational services and childrens departments. In addition to the usual displays, they also
24、 offer film showings and dance programs. Instead of being places that one should visit, they are places to enjoy.One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time.

26、are about anything beyond the basic needs of daily life are now becoming curious about the worldaround them. The young people in these groups, like young people in general, have benefited from a better education than their parents received. All these groups, and the rest of the population as well, h
27、ave been influenced by television, which has taught them about places and other times.The effect of all this has been to change existing museums and to encourage the building of new ones. In the US and Canada alone, there are now more than 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were 25 years a
28、go. About half of them are devoted to history, and the rest are evenly divided between the arts and sciences. The number of visitors, according to the American Association of museums, has risen to more than 700 million a year.In fact, the crowds of visitors at some museums are creating a major probl
29、em, admission to museums has always been either free or very inexpensive, but now some museums are charging entrance fees for the first time or raising their prices.

34、e from poverty and persecution, a chance to start again. We can say that, as nation, America begins with that hope. When, however, does American literature begin?

35、rthmen who found America about the year 1,000, Native Americans lived here. Each tribes literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land. Another kind of experience, one filled with fear and excitement, found its ex
36、pression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, France and England. In addition, the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilderness tell unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years. Experience, then,
37、is the key to early American literature. The New World provided a great variety of experiences, and these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers. These writers included John Smith, who spent only two-and a half years on the American cont
38、inent. They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd, who thought of themselves as British subjects, never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own. American Indians, explorers, Puritan ministers, frontier wives, plantation owner-they are al

DAbout the experience of those who died in the New England wilderness.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The main purpose of the last paragraph is to tell the readers that Ai
42、n the early days most American writers were from Great Britain. Bpeople with rich life experiences became writers. Cthere were many writers in the early days of American history. Dearly-day experience provided the foundation for American literature.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(5).According to the last paragrap

All living creatures, especially human beings, have their peculiarities, but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual. What
45、 else can be said about an odd animal that, among other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous hut is considered supremely edible by gourmets(美食家) ?For some fifty million years, despite all its eccentriciti
46、es, the sea cucumber has subsisted on its diet of mud. It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet, under rocks in shallow water, or on the surface of mud fiats. Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to suck up .mud or sand and digest what
47、ever nutrients are present.Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish-brown to sandcolor and nearly white. One form even had vivid purple tentacles. Usually the creatures are cucumbers-shapedhence their nameand because they are typically rock inhabitants, this shape, co
48、mbined with flexibility, enables them to squeeze into narrow cracks where they are safe from predators and ocean currents.Although they have voracious appetites, eating day and night, sea cucumbers have the capacity to become inactive and live at a low metabolic rate feeding sparingly or not at all
49、for long periods, so that the marine organisms that provide their food have a chance to multiply. If it were not for this faculty, they would devour all the food available in a short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence.But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself. Its major enemies are fish and crabs, when att
