分析 本文主要介绍世界喜剧演员卓别林.卓别林一开始等在剧院门口希望获得一份表演的工作.二十年后他成为著名的喜剧演员.他的喜剧不依靠语言而是他的动作来使人们发笑.

解答 61.named 考查过去分词.boy与name之间是动宾关系,用过去分词短语named Charlie作后置定语.
62.hungry 考查形容词.and是并列连词,它前后连接两个相同的语法成分,thin和hungry都形容词用表语.
63.was sent 考查动词时态和语态.he与send之间动宾关系,且事情发生在过去,用一般过去时的被动语态.
64.the 考查冠词.greatest是形容词最高级,加定冠词the.
65.wearing 考查现在分词.the man与wear之间是主谓关系,用现在分词作定语.
66.because 考查连词.前后两句之间是因果关系,后一句是前一句的原因,用连词because.
67.It 考查强调句.英语强调句型:It is/was+被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+that/who(当强调主语且主语指人)+其他部分.
68.plays 考查主谓一致.主语Acting out common human situations是动名词短语,谓语动词应用单数形式plays.
69.where 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词Switzerland在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where.
70.on 考查介词.在特定的某一天用介词on.

16.Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advie to people in industrialized
(工业化) nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living
more than 10,000 years ago.(16)C
The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.(17)E
So they are called"diseases of civilization(文)"Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that peole in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco,probably none.(18)D  However,a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat,which had much less fat than domestic(家养的)ones.
They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products,and they made very little use of grains.(19)BWe eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
(20)F But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did,cutting the amount of fatty,salty and sweet food.

A.Stone Age people lived a simple life.
B.But today,we enjoy eating a lot of these.
C.In that case,they would live much healthier.
D.Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.
E.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
F.People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.
G.Modern people used to suffer from"diseases of civilization".

Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

1.In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.

The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 2.. Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.3.. If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention, and let her know that he is admiring her.

However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking.4.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 5.

Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation.

A. On the contrary, it will give him away.

B. Do you have such a kind of experience?

C. That’s what normal eye contact is all about.

D. Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.

E. After all, everybody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.

F. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.

G. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.

7.When I arrived at 6a.m.in the large hospital kitchen,Rose was already checking name tags(标签) on the trays.
"Hi,I'm Janet."I tried to sound cheerful,although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with."I'm scheduled to work with you this week."
Rose,a middle-aged woman,stopped what she was doing and looked closely over her reading glasses.I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.
"What do you want me to do?Start the coffee?"I asked.
Rose nodded and went back to checking name tags.
I filled the 40-cup pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose yelled,"That's not the way to make coffee!"She stepped in and took over.Nothing I did pleased her.
Back at home,I stayed aloe in my room,fighting back tears.I thought,"Maybe she didn't feel well.Maybe she had some trouble."I decided to forgive her and try to get long with her.
The next morning,I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things and did things Rose's way as much as possible.
Over the next few days an amazing thing began to happen.My focus shifted from what she was doing to me,and I started seeing Rose as the person she was hurting.The icy tension began to melt away.
Throughout the rest of the summer,we had numerous opportunities to work together.Each time she seemed happy to see me.As I worked with this lonely woman,I listened to her---something no one else had done.I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.
That summer I learned a lesson I've never forgotten.The world is full of people like Rose---annoying,demanding,unlovable---yet hurting inside.I've found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.

As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.

In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.

On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute(降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.

Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.
