6．Charles Chaplin，who died in 1977，is considered one of the greatest and funniest actors in the history of the cinema．During his lifetime，he acted in 13films，and he wrote，directed and acted in 69other films．
Chaplin was born in London in 1889．When a poor boy，he was often seen waiting outside the London theaters，hoping to get work in show business．He could sing and dance，and above all，he knew how to make people laugh．But he couldn't get work and therefore wandered about the city streets．Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents．
Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five．He broke into show business because his mother，a music-hall performer，lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage，and Charlie went on and sang a well-known song．Halfway through the song a shower of money poured onto the stage．Charlie stopped singing and told the audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song．The audiences laughed．This was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin's fabulous career（神话般的生涯）．
Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world．His dream came true in the end．Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film．
Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are mostly silent．The equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed．The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin，as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues．Instead，he continued to make films without dialogue，but he added music，which he wrote himself．It isn't what he says that makes us laugh．His comedy doesn't depend on words．It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people the world over．
Chaplin's later films，however，were not well received．Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the last years in Switzerland，where he was buried at Christmas 1977，at the age of eighty-eight．There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death．
In his book，Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life．He says，"You have to believe in yourself．That's the secret．"

25．Chaplin is regarded as king of comedy mainly becauseC．
A．he acted out the common human situations best in his comedy
B．he could sing and dance well
C．he knew how to make people laugh
D．lots of people have seen his films
26．What makes people laugh in Chaplin's films？A
A．It isn't his words but his actions
B．Neither his words nor actions
C．Either his words or his actions
D．Not only his words but also his actions
27．The only secret of Charles Chaplin's huge success is thatB．
A．he can make all people，men and women，old and young laugh
B．he has full trust in himself
C．he is always active and hard-working all his life
D．though he is always in trouble，he never loses heart
28．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？C
A．He was too shy to meet the managers of the theaters．
B．People won't stop laughing until tears run down Chaplin's face．
C．People all over the world can enjoy Chaplin's films without translation because most of them are silent．
D．He wouldn't like to work at the theater．

9．In science，people copy ideas from nature or natural processes to solve problems or to create products which will serve a specific purpose to help us．This is called biomimicry and its influence can be seen in many everyday products．
We are all familiar with Velcro（魔术贴）．It was invented in 1941by a Swiss engineer called George de Medtral，who found some seeds stuck to his dog's hair．Under the microscope，he discovered that these seeds had hooks（钩） on them，so they could easily stick to clothing or hair．He copied this idea and invented Velcro．It was initially unpopular with fashion companies but after it was used by NASA（美国国家航空航天局）to stop items floating in space，it became popular with children'clothing companies．
More recently，swimwear has also been influenced by nature．The Speed to Fastskin，a controversial swimsuit，was seen at the Beijing Olympics and worn by 28of the 33gold medal winners．The technology is based on the rough patterns on a shark's skin，which allows the shark to swim faster．Shark skin also stop bacteria growing on it，so scientists are copying this surface to design cleaner hospitals．
For NASA，protecting astronauts'eyes from the sun's rays and other dangerous radiation is very important．Scients studied how eagles see things clearly．They discovered that a substance called yellow oil in their eyes does the trick．NASA copied this oil and it is now used by astronauts and pilots in Eagle Eyeglasses．In addition to protecting eyes from all the dangerous rays，these sunglasses also help people see more clearly in even poor weather conditions such as fog．
It appears that influence of biomimicry is unlimited，so it will be interesting to see what solutions nature provides us with in the future．
28．George de Mestral invented VelcroC．
A．to challenge fashion companies

D．The limitation of biomimicry．

16．According to the UN report，some 844animals and plantshave disappeared（消失）in the last 500years．

5．It was in the Victorian Era（维多利亚时期） that the novel became the leading form of literature in English．Most writers were more concerned to meet the tastes of the middle class．The best known works of the period included the works of Charles Dickens and the Bronté sisters and others．
Charles Dickens came on the literary scene in the 1830s．Dickens wrote vividly about London life an the struggles of the poor．Most of his works were written in a very humorous style，which was popular with readers of all classes．
The Bronté sisters were English writers of the 1840s and 1850s．They began to write from early childhood．In 1846they published the first book at their own expense as poets； however，their book attracted little attention，selling only two copies．Then the sisters turned to writing novels，each producing a novel in the following year．
An interest in rural matters and the changing social and economic situation of the countryside may be seen in the novels of Thomas Hardy and a number of others．
Literature for children developed as a single style．Some works became well-known，such as those of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear．Adventure novels were written for adults but are now generally grouped in the list for children．Helen Beatrix Potter was an English author at the end of the Victorian Era，best known for her children's books，which featured animal characters．In her thirties，Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902．

12．I believe that my country，Poland，is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important．When we were little children，we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents-to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing．It's not so common nowadays to treat food that way，since you hardly ever bake your own bread．Besides，everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them!But though we no longer make our food from scratch （起点），some customs have been kept-that's why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away-even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!
Many people of our nation are still working as farmers，eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more．It's widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place．In most homes in Poland，especially those of farmers，the whole family would try and have their meals together-extremely difficult now，but so rewarding!You can share other members'troubles and successes，give your children some attention，or just sit down for a moment，instead of rushing through life aimlessly．Furthermore，your body，and stomach in particular will be very grateful for such a time!
In Poland，a wedding，Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal．Women in the house get together and cook，sometimes for a few days before the event，and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about．
You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country．What's more，almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am．

D．family members can know more about each other by having meals together．

9．Music is magic!Music speaks louder than words and it is a"language"that the whole world can understand．A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind．Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal，music has a spiritual effect on a person．Different kinds of music influence people in different ways．
I have listened to music all my life．When I was twelve years old，the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up．Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America．Their influence changed the way we dressed，looked，acted and spoke even our culture．The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination（暗杀）of President John Kennedy，which had put America into a great depression．And the freshness and lively sprit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself．
Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer．This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it．And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world．Music has a great way of touching people．Music can make you laugh，cry or shout．It's also a great source of inspiration．
Try this one day and notice what happens：make yourself a cup of tea，sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs．Close your eyes，and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images---matching the music that you are listening to．

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, ‘Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!’ Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.

Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, ‘Thanks.’

Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
