In spite of this, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his pen name.Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mothers care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbours. He didnt like to go to school, and he often ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi(密西西比河). He was nearly drowned nine times.After his fathers death, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and clothing. Then, he worked as a river boat pilot(领航员) and late joined the army. But shortly after that he became a miner. During this period, he started to write short stories. Afterwards he became a full-time writer.In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he wrote many books including Tom Sawyer in 1876, and Huckleberry Finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him great fortune.Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments (投资) and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died, and then three of his children passed away.At the age of 70, his hair was completely white. He bought many white suits and neckties(领带).

Oswald, Bugs, and hundreds of other characters were created by Walt Disney, perhaps the most famous cartoonist in history.Born in Chicago in 1901, Walt Disney always wanted to be an artist. After returning from World War I, in which he drove an ambulance, Disney worked as a commercial artist. He enjoyed drawing cartoons more than anything else, and decided to try his hand at a technology that was new at the time, moving pictures.In the 1920s, he produced several films where he made cartoon characters move as if by magic. The technique Disney used was painstaking. He made hundreds or even thousands of repeated drawings of the same character. In each drawing, the character was changed just a bit. A film was taken of the series of drawings, and when it was shown, the characters appeared to move. The process, called animation, is still used today, although computers have made the process much easier.In 1928, Disney created his most famous character, Mortimer Mouse, who we know today as Mickey. The mouse starred in a cartoon called Steamboat Willie, which was unusual because it involved the use of a sound track. Within the next few years, Disney invented many of his other characters.The list of Disneys animation successes is long and memorable. It includes Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, and Peter Pan. Perhaps his most remarkable animated film is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Created in 1937, it was an immediate success. Today, more than fifty years later, it is still one of the most popular films for children.28. What is one of the chief differences between animation today and in Walt Disneys early years?A. More people like animated movies.B. Fewer people like animated movies.C. Computers have made the job easier.D. Computers have made the job harder.29. The author of this passage would probably agree that .A. Oswald the Rabbit is well-known todayB. Walt Disney is a remarkable personC. animation is an easy techniqueD. cartoons move by magic30. What does the underlined word“painstaking”(in Paragraph 3) probably mean?A. Something that hurts because it involves hard work.B. Taking a long time and involving much hard work.C. Requiring a lot of effort, like running a marathon.D. Requiring many fine tools, such as pens and pencils.31. The secret of animation is to .A. make drawings that are exactly the same, then film themB. choose names for characters that make people remember themC. combine music, voices, and sound effects with picturesD. make a film of many drawings that change just a littleDIn Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called“satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become“satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a“satellite kid”.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the“satellite kid”problem. Because these children do not speak English and their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a“satellite kid”means growing up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means growing up alone, because your parents are elsewhere. What these“satellite kids”will probably say to their parents is that its better to have parents around than to have a university education.32. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because .A. they hope their children may easily find a job thereB. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesC. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesD. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends33. The phrase“satellite kids”refers to Asian kids .A. without parentsB. living abroad aloneC. with university educationD. speaking no English34. Some Asian immigrant children become“satellite kids”because their parents have to .A. leave their own countryB. let them go to universityC. return to their country to workD. let them be independent35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Parents want better education for their kids.B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families.C. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the“satellite kid”problem.D. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Expressions about water are almost as common as water. 36The expression“to be in hot water”is one of them. It is a very old expression.“Hot water”was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of extremely throwing hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.When we are in“hot water”, we are in trouble. 37 A young boy can be in hot water with his mother, if he comes into the house with dirty shoes.“To keep your head above water”is a colourful expression that means staying out of debt.

A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.Another common expression,“to hold water”, is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no hole in it. If your argument can hold water, 38 If it does not hold water, 39“Throwing cold water”also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals. 40 For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems.
