His comedy(喜剧)doesn t depend upon words of language, but on the little actions which mean the same thing
13、 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 his enemies. Trying to be brave, he faints away on the floor. He pretends to be wh
14、at he is not and never could bea rich, successful, important man. It is the secret of Chaplins huge success.He discovered the character of 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 Cha
15、plin 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 stick. He intended simply to make people laugh. But the odd disguises(扮相)made him l
16、ook 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.

20、C） jumping on trains（D）riding bicycles35 By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children 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
21、 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-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study: the other half acted as the control group. In the ex
22、perimental 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. For example, the parent should ask, “ What is the doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the experimental group
23、 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 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 s
24、howed 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 showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.36 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（A）Children who
25、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 more attention.（D）Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.37 What does “It“(Para. 1)can most probably be replaced by?（A）Parents increasing
26、 children s language development.（B） Reading techniques being simple.（C） Parents reading to children.（D）Childrens intelligence development.38 According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?（A）Do you see the elephant?（B） Is the elephant in the cage?（C
27、） What animals do you like?（D）Shall we go to the zoo?39 The difference between the control group and the experimental group was_.（A）the training that parents received（B） the age of the children（C） the books that were read（D）the number of the children40 The best conclusion we can draw from the passag
28、e is that_.（A）parents should be trained to read to their children（B） the more children read, the more intelligent they will become（C） children s language skills increase when they are required to respond actively（D）children who read actively seem six months old40 Do you ever automatically say “God b
29、less you“ when someone sneezes? Did you ever cross your fingers when making a wish? 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 ea
30、rlier time, when everybody believed in good and evil spirits. And even in our modem 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 ri
31、sking the danger of dislodging that soul and blowing it out the nose into the outside 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 should
32、er if they happen to spill any at the dinner table. This practice once had a serious 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
33、 left shoulder to keep away the evil spirits.Since the evil spirits stood on the 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
34、 good luck at whatever you were about to do. We still speak of “putting your best loot forward“ , although we dont always start walking with the right foot.41 The main idea of the passage is that_.（A）people still believe in superstitions（B） there are reasons behind many superstitions（C） people today
35、 dont have superstitions（D）superstitions are foolish42 Ancient men believed that the soul lived in the_.（A）heart（B） stomach（C） head（D）feet43 Today, most people practice superstitions_.（A）without realizing it（B） because it s part of their religion（C） because superstitions have proven to be true（D）bec
36、ause superstitions are amusing44 According to superstition, evil spirits stood_.（A）to the left of people（B） behind people（C） to the right of people（D）in front of people45 To make a wish come true, you should_.（A）say “God bless you“（B） fling salt over your shoulder（C） put your best foot forward（D）cro
37、ss your fingers45 If you say, “The 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
38、 usually give advice. Both idioms and proverbs are 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
39、was wrongly accused and could prove 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, savin
40、g you from more work. Regardless 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 u
41、se the idiom if a person narrowly escapes a disaster.46 The purpose of this article is to_.（A）compare idioms and proverbs（B） explain the meaning of some interesting everyday expressions（C） show the importance of using proverbs and idioms in your writing（D）to tell the difference between idioms and pr
42、overbs47 It can be inferred from the article that_.（A）it is difficult to guess the meaning of idioms（B） you should not use idioms in your writing（C） proverbs are more common than idioms（D）you should be careful to use proverbs and idioms48 Which of these statements is an example of “a close shave“?（A
43、）My brother bought a new bicycle to ride to school.（B） A car nearly hit me on my way to school.（C） No one in my school has ever been to Canada.（D）A barber cut his clients seriously.49 The word “chime“ in Paragraph 2 probably means_.（A）strike the hour（B） sing the song（C） sound the alarm（D）give beauti
44、ful sound50 What is the best title of the passage?（A）Everyday Expressions（B） Idioms（C） Proverbs（D）The Difference Between Idioms and Proverbs50 June 10, 2016 Dear Sirs,We thank you for your irrevocable(不可撤销的)letter of credit( 信用证)opened through your bank for 4000 dozen Man s Shirts.According to stipu
