He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldnt get work and so he wandered（流浪）about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.But twenty years later this name Chaplin became the greatest, best-known, and best-loved comedian（喜剧演员）in the world. Any visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Chaplins filmstrips. People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who dont understand English can enjoy Chaplins films though most of them are silent. It isnt what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesnt depend upon words and languages. It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words, common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. Its kind of world language.Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day, 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of the death.56. Why was young Chaplin waiting outside the back entrance of the theatre? A. Because he had no money to buy a ticket. B.

Because he wanted to see the famous actors or actress after the performance. 57. It was _ that made people enjoy his films.

What doesnt Chaplins comedy depend on? A. Common human situations.B. Actions. C. Words and languages. D. Acting out. B“If there is one thing Im sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are. Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, Im pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read sports and international news, etcI think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasnt happenedWhat is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, its never really pleasant to read something just on a screen. 61What is the best title for the passage?AThe Best Way to Get News BThe Changes of Media CMake Your Own Newspaper DThe Future of Newspaper 62In the writers opinion, in the future, _. Amore big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news Bnewspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer Cnewspapers will cover more scientific research Dmore and more people will watch TV 63What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?ASports and international newsBA menu of important news. CThe most important newsDWhat you are interested in. 64From the passage, we can infer _. Anewspapers will win the competition among the different media Bnewspapers will stay with us together with other media Ctelevision will take the place of newspaper Dthe writer believe some media will die out 65The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means _. Adepend onBcompete withCfight withDkill off CThe name of the hurricanes（飓风） is chosen from a list of names in alphabetical order（依字母顺序的）. Female and male names are chosen alternatively. For example, the first hurricane of the year will be called “Alexandra”, the second “Bernard”, the third “Catherine”, etc. When newspapers and radio describe the damage caused by a hurricane named Hazel, girls named Hazel are probably teased（取笑）by their friends. To keep out of trouble, the Weather Bureau says, “Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental（偶然的）”. Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names, but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines. They dont even care that they are the names of destructive storms. Because more women seem to listen to like it than dislike it, the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girls names for hurricanes. In some ways a hurricane is like a person. After it is born, it grows and develops, then becomes old and dies. Each hurricane has a character of it own. Each follows its own path through the world, and people remember it long after it has gone. So it is natural to give hurricanes names, and to talk about them as if they were alive.66. The underlined word “resemblance” probably means _. A. sameness B. difference C. trouble D. success67. What happens to girls named Hazel according to the passage?A. They suffer from hurricanes. B. The Weather Bureau looks for them.C. Others often make fun of them. D. They cant find boyfriend.68. According to the passage, which is more reasonable?A. Some women feel unhappy because hurricanes are given their names.B. A lot of women complain of the Weather Bureau.C. Many women want to be known.D. All the hurricanes are caused by women.DMen sometimes say: “We are better and cleverer than women. Women never invented things. We do.” It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things: the alphabet, machines, rockets, and guns, too. But scientists and archeologists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It had changed the history. They invented agriculture. Before the invention of agriculture men were hunter. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals-sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day, too. They collected roots, fruit and grass. Then, one day, more than 10,000years ago a woman dropped some grass seeds. She dropped them near her home in the Middle East. They grewand the first wheat was born. The idea grew, too. Women planted roots and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after the children and the animals. Women liked baby animals: dogs, cows, sheep and goats. That idea grew, too. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home. They built villages and cities. Men began civilization-after women invented agriculture.71. Sometimes men think that _.A. they have rights as equal as womenB. women have changed the historyC. they have more abilities than historyD. women are not so bright as they are72.

Women are better and cleverer than men.B. Women invented many useful things like men.C. Women played a very important part in agriculture.D.
