they are mostly silent It isn t what he says that makes us laugh It depends upon actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world He is master of the art a kind of world language As a young man he and his brother traveled to America in a small company of actors Chaplin was then invited to join a new company that was making film comedies Very soon he had made dozens of short films for this company And it was in his second film that he wore the clothes which made his reputation black hat tight coat baggy trousers huge shoes moustache and walking stick He intended simply to make people laugh But the odd make up made him look both comic and sad 5 By the time he was thirty Chaplin was the greatest best known and best loved comedian in the world He received thousands of dollars for each film he made He had formed his own manner of acting He was welcomed by excited crowds wherever he went But he worked very hard and had few close friends Perhaps that is why the sad side of the little tramp began to show more clearly in the films he made The little man began to want more than food and a roof over his head He began to want love In one of his most famous films The Gold Rush a girl plays tricks on the little man Then she begins to feel sorry for him and treats him kindly He mistakes her pity for love The girl in City Lights is blind She thinks he is the most wonderful man she has ever met But then she recovers her sight and sees what a foolish figure he is This sadness gives Chaplin s films a depth of human experience which few comedians can equal After living in America for forty years he moved to Switzerland There he died on Christmas Day 1977 He once described himself as a citizen of famous pictures that were made during the 1920s and 1930s the time of the silent films But to many people all over the world Chaplin will always be the king of comedy 56 What s the meaning of the underlined word in the first paragraph A A man in control of people animals or things B A man who is head of a house or a family C A man of great skill in art or work D A skilled workman with his own business 57 Charlie Chaplin had few friends because he A was famousB didn t want to have friends C was not good at making friends D spent most of his time in working and had no time to make friends 58 In all Chaplin s films the main character is A a girlB a girl and little man C a little manD a wonderful man B B A new study gives us the warning that about thirty percent of the world s people may not have enough water by the year 2025 A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study It says more than three hundred thirty five million people lack enough water now The people live in twenty eight countries Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East P A I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025 about three thousand million people may lack water At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems The demand for water keeps increasing Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same Mr Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world He says population growth in these 6 countries will continue to increase The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems It may increase health problems Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe Mr Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases such as cholera which are carried in water Lack of water may also result in more international conflict Countries may have to compete for water in the future Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries This is true of Egypt the Netherlands Cambodia Syria Sudan and Iraq And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem One way it says is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water A third way is to use less water of agriculture The report also says long term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have 61 are expected to have severe water problems by the year 2025 A No countries B 18 countries C 46 countries D 28 countries 62 All the following are true except A Lack of water may cause conflict between countries B Egypt now has enough fresh water C There are solutions to the water problem D New industries need a lot of water 63 It can be inferred that A There is connection between providing clean water and slowing population growth B Lack of water may also result from international conflict C The ability of developing has nothing to do with lack of water D It is not known whether diseases have something to do with lack of water 64 What is the solution to the water problem for a long time A Not to waste water B Less developing industries C Less international conflict D Control the population 65 The best title of the passage would be A World Conflict B Diseases and Water C World Water Shortage D Population and Water C C Fear can be a wonderful feeling in our lives protecting us from dangerous situations and keeping us safe But fear can also limit our lives significantly While it may not be conscious fear may make us think we are unacceptable or that what we have to offer isn t valuable Fear may make us feel that we are not safe being ourselves To avoid feeling fear we may limit our lives greatly living in tiny boxes Living this way gives us the illusion 假象 of safety but leaves us with an unfulfilling life of no passion If we shine a light on many of our fears we see they have a very limited view of what is safe and how to protect 7 us Many of our fears are concerned only with protecting us from humiliation 羞 辱 and failure While these fears are doing their jobs incredibly well they are doing so with faulty and outdated programming Many fears we have as adults are trying to protect us as they protected us when we were children Indeed many of our current automatic reactions to fear were actually formed when we were children Even so it s important not to judge ourselves for feeling these types of fears If we judge ourselves we will bury our fears or disguise them By denying our fears however we also deny our energy creativity and passion So what do we do with fear We recognize the fear for what it is a feeling we ve experienced many times in the past and a feeling we will experience many times in the future We become very familiar with our own particular brand of fears and how we allow them to control our lives It is especially beneficial for each of us to become aware of the particular behavior patterns we ve adopted when we feel fear so we can look at our reactions with a sense of humor and compassion Then if we wish we can choose a different response which can be a scary yet very exciting experience 66 According to the first paragraph fear sometimes A protect us when we ve made mistakes B makes sure our feelings are not hurt C brings great change to our everyday life D makes us lose confidence in ourselves 67 It can be inferred from the passage that the author A thinks it difficult to control our fear B believes fears protect us negatively C thinks it s good to criticize ourselves D values the advantages of feeling fear 68 According to the author the ways we react to fear A vary from person to person B have been formed since childhood C develop during our growth D will not change until we get old 69 The last paragraph mainly tells us A what is the essence of fears B usual reactions we have when feeling fear C how to deal with fears reasonably D the importance of humor and compassion 70 What would be the best title for the passage A Is fear managing your life B Be calm when feeling fear C What do you fear most D Passion chance and fear D D Norah had a cottage on a cliff 悬崖 above a big bay In winter it could be very unpleasant because of strong winds and sea waves In fact when a gale was blowing Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs because their bedroom upstairs which faced the gales had a very big window and they were afraid that an extra violent wind might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them 8 Also the salt wave from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden She tried putting up a fence to protect them but the wind just hit it went up over the top and then down the other side so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much At weekends she could sit out of doors in the sun looking at the beautiful view with interesting ships and boats passing by and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim Now Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place and in the end it really became quite annoying for the couple When they were at home they found friends and relations arriving expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals and to sit in the sun for hours talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them This went on for several years Norah didn t wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in but on the other hand she was getting tired every summer Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair You re disturbed by too many uninvited guests are you said the hairdresser Why don t you try my way of escaping What s that asked Norah Well the hairdresser answered when the bell rings I put on my coat and take my shopping bag If it s someone I don t want to see I say innocently I m sorry but I ve got to go out But 71 The underlined word gale can be replaced by A windB shipC seaD animal 72 We can infer that A lots of friends cam to visit them in winter B few friends came to visit them in winter C friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals D Norah was a good cook 73 How did Norah go to the sea for a swim A She went there by ship B She walked there C She swam there D She went there by bicycle 74 The hairdresser likely to continue to say in the end A if I m tired I say Sorry can you come next time B if it s someone I like to see I say How lucky I ve just come in C if it is fine that day I say I m tired of this but I ll show you around the place D if it s someone I like to see I say How happy to see you
