About the year 1900, a small, dark-haired hot boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrance of London theatres. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn’t get work and so he wandered（流浪）about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.
But twenty years later this name Chaplin became the greatest, best-known, and best-loved comedian（喜剧演员）in the world. Any visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Chaplin’s filmstrips. People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films though most of them are silent. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend upon words and languages. It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words, common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. It’s kind of world language.
Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day, 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of the death.
56. Why was young Chaplin waiting outside the back entrance of the theatre?
　A. Because he had no money to buy a ticket.
　B. Because he wanted to get a returned ticket.
　C. Because he wanted to play a part in a play in order to make a living.
　D. Because he wanted to see the famous actors or actress after the performance.
57. It was ________ that made people enjoy his films.
　A. wonderful dialogues　　 　 　B. the beautiful music
　C. his funny appearance　　　　 D. his own manner of acting
58. What is a kind of world language according to the story?
　A. The cinema.　　　　　　　　　　 B. The theatre.
　C. Acting out without words.　　　　　D. A common language.
59. The reason why Chaplin is regarded as king of comedy is that _______.
　A. his films are most silent
　B. he knew how to make people laugh
　C. he could not only act but also write comedies
　D. he acted out the common human situation best in his comedy
60. What doesn’t Chaplin’s comedy depend on?
　A. Common human situations.　　　　B. Actions.
　C. Words and languages.　　　　　　 D. Acting out.
B
“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc．
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened．What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
61．What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Best Way to Get News B．The Changes of Media
C．Make Your Own Newspaper D．The Future of Newspaper
62．In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.
A．more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C．newspapers will cover more scientific research
D．more and more people will watch TV
63．What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A．Sports and international news． B．A menu of important news.
C．The most important news． D．What you are interested in.
64．From the passage, we can infer _______.
A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B．newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C．television will take the place of newspaper
D．the writer believe some media will die out
65．The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means _______.
A．depend on B．compete with C．fight with D．kill off
C
The name of the hurricanes（飓风） is chosen from a list of names in alphabetical order（依字母顺序的）. Female and male names are chosen alternatively. For example, the first hurricane of the year will be called “Alexandra”, the second “Bernard”, the third “Catherine”, etc.
When newspapers and radio describe the damage caused by a hurricane named Hazel, girls named Hazel are probably teased（取笑）by their friends. To keep out of trouble, the Weather Bureau says, “Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental（偶然的）”.
Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names, but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines. They don’t even care that they are the names of destructive storms. Because more women seem to listen to like it than dislike it, the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girl’s names for hurricanes.
In some ways a hurricane is like a person. After it is born, it grows and develops, then becomes old and dies. Each hurricane has a character of it own. Each follows its own path through the world, and people remember it long after it has gone. So it is natural to give hurricanes names, and to talk about them as if they were alive.
66. The underlined word “resemblance” probably means ________.
A.
