14.How was it that Holly wood came to be the place everyone associates with the American film industry?
In 1887,Harvey Wilcox bought a house and all the(41)surrounding (surround) land on a hillside in southern California.His wife overheard a woman talk on a train about her summer house,(42)which she called"Hollywood".Mrs Wilcox liked the name so much that she decided  (43)to give(give) her new home the same name.Mr Wilcox then built other houses on his land and used the name for (44)thewhole community.
Between 1908and 1913something else (45)happened(happen).Many small independent film companies began moving to southern California for two main reasons.Firstly,they were having problems with the (46)larger(large),more powerful studios in New York.Secondly,they(47)were attracted(attract)by the sunny climate,which let them film throughout the year without the need for expensive lighting.
Only one studio (48)actually (actual) set up in Hollywood itself,because the local people took measures to prevent any more  (49)from arriving.The other studios that came to the area were all built outside Hollywood.In spite of that,by 1915"Hollywood"(50)had become(become) familiar as a term for the movie business as a whole.

解答 41 surrounding.考查派生词.修饰名词land用形容词surrounding表示"周围的". 
42 which.考查定语从句的关系词.代指先行词her summer house,做非限制性定语从句she called"Hollywood的宾语用which.
43 to give.考查非谓语动词.decide 的宾语用to do 表示"决定去做".
44 the.考查冠词.特指他们建造的这个区域,用定冠词the.
45 happened.考查谓语动词.做主语 something else 的谓语动词,根据上文可知用一般过去时态,所以用happened.
46 larger.考查形容词的比较级.和more powerful 并列用large的比较级larger,表示"更大更强的".
47  were attracted.考查谓语动词的语态.和主语they是被动关系,而且发生在过去,所以用一般过去时态的被动语态were attracted.
48 actually.考查副词的用法.修饰动词短语set up 用副词 actually.
49 from.考查介词.prevent…from…表示"组织某人做某事".
50 had become.考查谓语动词的时态.根据时间状语by 1915表示"到1915年",所以谓语动词用过去完成时态had become.

点评 考查语法填空.
过去完成时态的用法:
(1)表示在过去某一时刻或动作以前完成了的动作,可以用by,before等介词短语或一个时间状语从句(在复合句中,由时间连接词引导的状语从句叫做时间状语从句)来表示,也可以用一个表示过去的动作来表示,还可能通过上下文来表示.
(2)表示由过去的某一时刻开始,一直延续到过去另一时间的动作或状态,常和for,since构成的时间状语连用.
(3)叙述过去发生的事情,在已叙述了过去发生的事情后,反过来追述或补充以前发生的动作时,常使用过去完成时.
(4)在含有定语从句的主从复合句中,如果叙述的是过去的事,先发生的动作常用过去完成时.

4.Throughout the world,clothing has many uses.It is used to provide protection from cold.It is also worn to prevent others from seeing specific parts of one's body.However,the parts of the body that must be covered vary widely throughout the world.Some clothing is worn to provide supernatural protection.Wearing a lucky shirt to take an exam is calling for supernatural assistance.
People in all cultures use clothing and other forms of bodily decoration to communicate status(身份),intentions and other messages.In North America,we dress differently for business and various leisure activities.North American women usually are much more knowledgeable of little difference in messages communicated by clothes than men.At times,this leads to silly mistakes of understanding of female intentions on the part of men.Of course,clothing styles also are intended to communicate messages to members of the same gender(性别).
Long before we are near enough to talk to someone,their appearance tells their gender,age,economic class,and often even intentions.We begin to recognize the important cultural clues at an early age.The vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles,jewelry,and other body decoration.In most cultures,however,the same style of dress communicates different messages depending on the age,gender,and physical appearance of the individual wearing it.
Putting on certain types of clothing can change your behavior and the behavior of others towards you.This can be the case with a doctor's white lab coat,or an army uniform.Most uniforms are clearly symbolic so that they can rapidly and unmistakably communicate status.For instance,the strange hairstyle and clothing of the English"punks"are essential aspects of their uniforms.
There are many forms of body decoration other than clothes that are used around the world to send messages.These include body and hair paint,and even body deformation.When doctors put braces on teeth,they are actually doing the same thing-deforming or reforming a part of the body to make it more attractive.

5.Proverbs are quite common in spoken English.We don't normally put them in a composition or a letter.Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean.Here are a few examples.
1)"Once bitten,twice shy."If a dog bites me,I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it.This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs.If you have been cheated at a shop,you will not go to the same shop again.
2)"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."If I am a hunter,trying to catch birds,it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them.Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.
3)"Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup)".When too many people do something,they get in each other's way and do a bad job.
4)"To pour oil on troubled waters"is to try to calm things down.Oil is lighter than water.If a ship is in trouble at sea,another ship may come to help it.The second ship can send small boats to rescue people.However,it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.
5)"Don't be a dog in a manger(槽)"means"Don't be selfish."In a stable (马房),the manger is the place where the horse's food is put.Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food.The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.
6)"He is sitting on the fence"means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it.He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides,perhaps waiting to see which side will win.
7)"He who pays the piper calls the tune."A piper is a musician.The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the musician will play.Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan,he can say how it will be carried out.
8)"You can't get blood out of a stone"means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want.e.g.you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.
