Playing computer gamesB Jim Carrey has become one of the most well-known faces in the world. And it is because of his face that he has made such achievements. Jim Carrey was born in a working class family, and life was poor for young Jim. While in his teens, he had to take a job as a doorkeeper when his father lost his job, and finally he dropped out of school. At that time, he developed his sense of humour to help him deal with anger at the world. He was often alone. He said he didnt have any friends because he didnt want any. At 15 he started performing at a comedy club. Later he moved to Los Angeles and there he got the attention from a famous comedian, Rodney Dangerfield, and his life started to change. Jim Carrey got his big b reak in 1990, when he played a role on the new comedy show, In Living Color. He broke into films in 1994. It was the year of Funny Face. First there was Pet Detective, a success that showed Carreys comic style. Next came The Mask, which was another success for him. Jim Carrey has come a long way from his unhappy childhood. In fact, he seems to be having a second childhood now. The future looks good for him. He has developed a large crowd of fans and he also has proved his ability to get through a storm and come out on top, which is important for any person.C54. Why didnt Jim Carrey have any friends when he was young?A. Because he dropped out of school.B. Because he was in a working class family.C. Because he didnt want to make friends.D. Because he was angry at the world.A55. The underlined phrase got his big break in Paragraph 4 may mean _A. got a good chance B. made a lot of moneyC. felt tired D. had a restB56. From the last paragraph we can learn that _.A. Carrey didnt finish his school educationB. many people like Jim CarreyC. he once survived a stormD. Rodney Dangerfield changed Carreys lifeC57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Carreys success comes from his handsome face.B. Carrey was happy in his childhood.C. Carreys sense of humour came from the difficult environment.D. The film The Mask was not a success at first.CIm confused these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence (暴力) is the least civilized (文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees (难民) exist, too.A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to-solve problems and make peace. But can you really make peace by killing so many people? I dont think bombs (炸弹) can reach peoples hearts and change them. Bombs cant create love and caring, and thats what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why cant they use their wisdom (智慧) and talk it over?Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why dont they act as what they say? -A page from a 12-tear-old boy, Joshuas diaryD58. At the beach, Joshua_.A. hit his friend B. won a beautiful shellC. played with a beautiful shell D. came to an agreement with his friendC59. Joshua hates wars between countries because_.A. he is afraid of wars B. he doesnt understand adultsC. wars create death and refugees D. wars are not the only way to make peaceA60. Whats the key to peace in Joshuas opinion?A. Love and care for each other. B. Dont use violence so quickly.C. Stop using bombs in wars. D. Dont hurt or kill people in wars.B61. From the reading we can see Joshua wants adults to_.A. learn from children B. be childrens modelsC. be kind to children D. teach children how to solve problemsDFor hundreds of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on peoples emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you dont know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals (化学物质) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains (大脑) and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special sunrooms with artificial(人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get sunlight for an hour or two!The weather can also affect peoples emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, ram can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains: Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.D62. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor (因素) that can affect ones emotions? A. Weather. B. Actions of others. C. Personality. D. Age.C63. Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage? A. It is a kind of artificial chemical. B. It makes us worried by affecting our brains. C. It is needed by us all to keep fit. D. It is in the sunlight.A64. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. We feel good when we are in the bright weather. B. We will be happy when we are caught in the rain. C. All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter. D. The more vitamin D you have, the happier youll be.B65. What may be the best title for this passage? A. Why Do We Feel Sad? B. The Weather Influences Peoples Emotions C. People Need More Vitamin D D. We Can Hardly Change the Weather第卷（共50分）四、单词拼写。（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空只写一词。66. -We should take actions to prevent water _pullotion_.-Yes, I agree with y
