第一处：had改为has。考查时态。时间状语up to now（到目前为止）应与现在完成时连用，故将had改为has。
第二处：well改为better。考查比较级。由该词后面的than可知应使用比较级，故将well改为better。
第三处：in改为with。考查形容词短语。be content with…是固定搭配，表“对……满意”。
第四处：第五句中的carried改为carrying。考查非谓语动词。动词carry与wearing由and并列连接作person的后置定语，该动词与person之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故用carrying。
第五处：第六句中was和social中间加a。考查冠词。该句中抽象名词failure具体指代this character，故抽象名词具体化，应加a。
第六处：第六句中的and改为but。考查连词。该连词前后的内容是转折关系，故将and改为but。
第七处：entertained改为entertaining。考查形容词。entertaining表“令人愉快的；有趣的”，常用来修饰指物的名词或代词；entertained表“感到快乐的”，常用来修饰指人的名词或代词。该句中作宾语的名词situation后缺少宾补，故用entertaining。
第八处：第八句中的them去掉。考查定语从句。he starred in是省略关系代词的定语从句，被省略的关系代词已经是in后面的宾语，故将重复的宾语them去掉。
第九处：最后一句中which改为that。考查定语从句引导词。先行词是指人的名词actor，且关系代词在从句中作主语，故用who或that。
第十处：confident改为confidence。考查名词。介词with后应用名词，故将confident改为confidence。
【备注】喜剧演员查理卓别林风趣幽默，他的表演给人们带来了许多快乐。他扮演的流浪者的角色因其乐观及有客服困难的决心深受大家喜欢。他自导自演的电影《淘金热》十分出名。卓别林是一位伟大的演员，他用极大的自信鼓舞着我们。

三、 阅读理解
21. Is It Worth Buying Organic Food? Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels (商标). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.
The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. "We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier," says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. "So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer."
For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.
While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.
Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that "whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste." Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.
12. The new research questions whether organic food __________.
A. should replace traditional food
B. has been overpriced by farmers
C. is grown with less harmful chemicals
D. is really more nutritious and healthier
13. Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that __________.
A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease
B. traditional food was grown with more natural methods
C. both organic and traditional food they examined were safe
D. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food
14. Which of the following is ly healthier according to the passage?
A. Organic chicken and pork.   B. Organic milk and chicken.
C. Traditional chicken and pork.    D. Traditional fruit and vegetables.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward organic food?
A. Sceptical    B. Neutral
C. Unconcerned    D. Approving
参考答案：
12. D    13. C    14. B    15. A
试题分析：本文为议论文由人们花很多钱去购买有机食品入题，提出有机食品真的比传统食品更好吗？然后引用专家的调查结果证实有机食品并未比传统食品有更好的营养成分。
12. D 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句,“we didn’t find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier”, 本题定位在第二段第一句的“latest result”,与题干“thenew research”对应。本题应注意题干问的是“新的调查质疑有机食品…”故D正确。
13. C 推理判断题。第四段详细对比了有机食品和传统食品在各方面的情况，得出结论两种食品只有细微差别，并没有哪一种比另一种营养成分更多。注意选项A 以偏概全了。故C正确。
14. B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第四句“The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease.”
15. A 观点态度题。作者在第一段提出人们不值得花过多的钱去买有机食品，以及最后一段引用USDA 美国农业部的观点“whether you buy organic food or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste”以及最后一句可看出作者是质疑的态度。故A正确。
