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 couldnt get work and so he wandered 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, bestknown, and bestloved edian in the world. Any visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Chaplins filmstrips(胶片). People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who dont understand English can enjoy Chaplins films though most of them are silent. It isnt what he says that makes us laugh. His edy doesnt 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, mon human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. Its a kind of world language.Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day, 1977, at the age of eightyeight. The world was astonished at the news of the death and burst into sadness.文章大意：本文主要介绍了卓别林的生平以及他作为喜剧演员的成就。56Why was young Chaplin waiting outside the back entrance of the theatre?ABecause he had no money to buy a ticket.BBecause he wanted to get a returned ticket.CBecause he wanted to play a part in a play in order to make a living.DBecause he wanted to see the famous actors or actresses after the performance.答案：C推理判断题。从第一段中的hungry一词及hoping to get work in show business可推知他为了生活，想要参与演出，故选C。57It was _ that made people enjoy his films.Awonderful dialoguesBthe beautiful musicChis funny appearanceDhis own manner of acting答案：D推理判断题。由第二段中的His edy doesnt depend upon words and languages.一句可排除A项。B、C两项文中未涉及，因此推断他依靠自己特有的演出方式赢得观众，故选D。58The reason why Chaplin is regarded as king of edy is that _.Ahis films are most silentBhe knew how to make people laughChe could not only act but also write ediesDhe acted out the mon human situations best in his edy答案：D推理判断题。从第二段最后两句可知无声的表演在喜剧中是最好的，卓别林也因此被认为是喜剧之王。BFor any person who must speak in public, to business or pleasure groups, humor is a helpful and necessary tool for getting your message across. Why does humor work a lot? There are several reasons.People will enjoy what you have to say if it is presented with humor. But，more importantly，if you are in a situation where important，and perhaps controversial (有争议的) ，ideas must be presented to less than open minds, humor allows those ideas to be presented in a nonthreatening(无威胁的) manner. Abraham Lincoln was famous for his ability to relate humorous stories to make a point. Humor used carefully throughout a presentation will also keep the listeners interest high. In a word，individuals learning how to use humor in their speeches can strengthen arguments, support interesting presentations and, most of all，entertain their audience in a positive and fortable way.While popular culture may well hold many kinds of humor，some of it has no place in presentations that are designed to educate and encourage the audience. If you want to bee a professional excellent edian whose goal is 100% entertainment, then you may be able to use some of the reference materials like The Art of Using Humor in Public Speaking. They can help you develop your skills and sources of humor. To that end,_your participation in this study of humor will bee necessary. Hopefully, you will e to appreciate the special difficulty of entertaining the audience with good and clean humor.文章大意：幽默在社会生活和日常生活中非常重要。如何培养幽默技巧？本文做了阐述。59How many reasons does the author give for using humor?ATwo.

Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are peting for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the_opposite_is_true:_trees survive through their cooperation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌)networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”， usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly plex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didnt take any notice of it” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.文章大意：本文介绍了植物界的一种现象：树和树之间是相互依存的关系。母亲树会在临死前把营养传给下一代让它们继续生长。63The underlined sentence “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees _ . Apete for survivalBprotect their own wealthCdepend on each otherDprovide support for dying trees答案：C词义猜测题。从文中的trees survive enough their cooperation and support , passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it.”可知本题答案为C项。64“Mother trees” are extremely important because they _.Alook the largest in size in the forestBpass on nutrition to young treesCseem more likely to be cut down by humansDknow more about the plex “tree societies”答案：B推理判断题。根据第四段的She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation transporting important minerals to young trees so they my continue to grow可知本题答案为B项。65The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _.Ahow “tree societies” workBhow trees grow oldChow forestry industry developsDhow young trees survive答案：A词义猜测题。第四段说的是树的社会系统，而第五段的第一句话的意思是：我们以前没有注意到这个事情。故本题答案为A项。66What would be the best title for the passage?AOld Trees municate Like HumansBYoung Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionCTrees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkDTrees Contribute To Our Society答案：C主旨大意题。本文介绍了植物界的一种现象：树和树之间是相互依存的关系。母亲树会在临死前把营养传给下一代让它们继续生长。可知本题答案为C项。DIt is the year 2011，and Im 62 years old. Ive been in the humor business for over 50 years，and I still dont get tired of putting smiles on peoples faces. I think humor is not just jokes that you can find on the Internet.Therapeutic (医疗的) humor can help people who are sick by teaching them to laugh at many of lifes problems. Laughter causes the brain to produce some chemicals which help your body relax. People in Japan found that skin wounds healed up faster for patients who watched Charlie Chaplins edies than for patients who watched weather reports. I believe that the surest and easiest way to send a“feel good” message and to reduce stress is through laughter! Over the years，I have gotten hundreds of emails with respect to my website and my work. I got the following email from a person I do not know named Wayne. He writes：“I wish to thank you for brightening up my day a bit. I found your site during a very difficult time in my life. You see, my mother passed away in July of this year. Later my friend introduced me to your website and I decided to take a look. Thanks for the laughs I had today. Wayne.”From this email you can probably see why Ive been in the humor business for such a long time. Research has shown that having the ability to laugh at ourselves，and at all of the crazy things we do, can be good for our wellbeing. My advice is for everyone to get a lot of Vitamin H (H is short for humor and for health)文章大意：本文以一名多年从事幽默工作的人员讲述了幽默的好处。鼓励人们生活中只要寻找幽默之处，人们就会有美好的生活和健康的身体。67Which of the following is wrong? A. Ive worked in the humor business for more than 50 years. B. In my opinion humor is just jokes that you can find on the Internet. C. Laughter can reduce stress. D. Although the author works in the business for many years，he likes this business very much.答案：B细节理解题。根据第一段前两句可知，A项正确；根据第一段第三句可知，B项错误；根据第二段“I believe that the surest and easiest way to send a feel good message and to reduce stress is through laughter！”可知，C项正确；根据第一段第二句可知，D项正确。故选B项。68People in Japan believe _. A. humor has no effect on the patients B. Charlie Chaplin can cure (治愈) the illness C. humor is good for the patients D. Charlie Chaplins edies is more important than weather reports答案：C细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知，C项正确，A项错误；B项把Charlie Chaplins edies说成了Charlie Chaplin；第二段第三句意思是卓别林的喜剧能使病人康复的快一些，而不是说明它比天气预报重要，所以D项错误。故选C项。69The author has been in the humor business for a long time because _. A. humor can make himself/herself happy B. he can not find a better job C. humor business can make people happy and get out of the trouble Dthis business offers him/her a lot of money答案：C推理判断题。根据第二段最后“He writes. thanks for the laughs I had today. Wayne”和第三段第一句可知，使作者一直从事这份工作的原因就是幽默能使人快乐，使病人康复，能帮助处于困境中的人们脱困。因此选C项。70Whats the best title of this passage?AHumor is good.BHumor and Health.CDo you like humor?DHumor is more important than weather reports.答案：B主旨大意题。整篇文章都围绕幽默能使人快乐，使病人康复，能帮助处于困境中的人们脱困。在最后一段中点出了幽默对健康的促进作用，因此选B项。EI have heard having a good sense of humour often helps in breaking the ice. Also people remember you because of your humour. But I think I dont have a very good sense of humour. Could you suggest how to build on this? Radha Karnik This is a great question that is unfortunately difficult to answer. I can only give you my views on this topic, which may or may not be correct. I know that my sense of humour developed over time. When I was younger I was not funny at all; now I can easily make people laugh. At the same time, sometimes I say things that I think are very funny but others do not. Improving wit and humour, I believe, is an ongoing process. Now, there are various forms of humour and everyone has their individual style. Overall, I believe being fluent in a language is very important for being witty or funny. The way we play around with words adds the “funny” tag to an otherwise normal sentence. Also, seeing irony is very important. I think humour is often t
