Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest and widely loved silent movie stars. From
“Easy Street” (1917) to “Modern Times” (1936), he made many of the funniest and most popular films of his time. He was best known for his character, the naive and lovable Little Tramp. The Little Tramp, a well meaning man in a raggedy suit with cane, always found himself wobbling into awkward situations and strangely wobbling away. More than any other figure, it is this kindhearted character that we associate with the time before the talkies (sound films).
Born in London in 1889, Chaplin first visited America with a theater company in 1907.Appearing as “Billy” in the play “Sherlock Holmes”, the young Chaplin toured the country twice. On his second tour, he met Mack Sennett and was signed to Keystone Studios to act in films. In 1914 Chaplin made his first onereeler, “Making a Living”. That same year he made thirtyfour more short films, including “Caught in a Cabaret”, “Caught in the Rain”, “The Face on the BarRoom Floor”, and “His Trysting Place”. These early silent shorts allowed very little time for anything but physical comedy, and Chaplin was a master at it.
Though Chaplin is of the silent movie era, we see his achievements carried through in the films of today. With the appearance of the featurelength talkies, the need for more subtle acting became apparent. To maintain the audience's attention throughout a sixreel film, an actor needed to move beyond constant comedy. Chaplin had demanded this depth long before anyone else. His strictness and concern for the processes of acting and directing made his films great and led the way to a new, more sophisticated, cinema.
文章大意:让我们多了解一下大师卓别林吧!
1.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A.“The little Tramp” was the only character that Charlie Chaplin acted.
B.Charlie Chaplin signed to Keystone Studios in 1906.
C.Charlie Chaplin made five short films in 1914.
D.Charlie Chaplin has a great effect on today's sound film.
答案:D 细节理解题。由第一段第三句话“He was best known for his character, the naive and lovable Little Tramp.”可知,Little Tramp是卓别林最出色的角色,但是却不是他唯一扮演的角色,所以A项错误;由第二段前三句话可知,卓别林在1907年到美国访问,第二次时,与Keystone Studios签约,所以签约绝对应该发生在1907年后,所以B项错误;由第二段第四、五句话可知,卓别林在1914年一共制作了35部短片,所以C项错误;由第三段第一句话可知,卓别林对今天的有声电影有巨大的影响,所以D项正确。
2.What is the right order according to the passage?
a.Charlie Chaplin made the film “Easy Street”.
b.The film “Caught in the rain” was made.
c.Charlie Chaplin first visited America.
d.Charlie Chaplin met Mack Sennett.
e. “Modern Times” was made.
A.d, c, a, e, b B d, c, b, a, e
C.c, d, b, a, e D.c, d, a, b, e
答案:C 排列顺序题。由第二段第二、三句话可知,c发生在d前,所以排除A、B两项;由第一段第一句话可知,Easy Street 拍摄于1917年,Modern Times拍摄在1936年,由第二段倒数第二句话可知,The film “Caught in the
rain”拍摄于1914年,所以这三部电影的顺序为b、a、e。
3.Which word can best describe Charlie Chaplin according to the passage?
A.lovable B.kindhearted
C.strict D.awkward
答案:C 细节理解题。由最后一段最后一句话可知,只有C项符合。
4.What do you think is the passage about?
A.Life of Chaplin B.Works of Chaplin
C.Characters of Chaplin D.An introduction of Chaplin
答案:D 主旨大意题。D项为概括性最强的选项,它包含前三个选项。

How to Teach a Child Respect
As a child grows out of being an infant(婴儿)and begins to notice and react to the world around them, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly impart all of the things that they need to become a responsible, respectful adult. __1__ A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others in kind, but learns to respect himself as well.
Instructions
★1 Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving her your full attention and she will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in relationships.
★2 __2__ The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
★3 Agree to disagree. __3__ Explain your decision so that she will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn't equate to disobedience.
★4 Control your impulse to overreact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. __4__
★5 Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough. __5__
A.Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.
B.Try to remember that a child won't always agree with you.
C.Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.
D.If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.

答案:
one possible version:
Dear Jack,
How is everything going?
In your last letter, you asked me what major I'd like to choose at university. I have two majors in mind.
First, I intend to choose agriculture science. Why? Because food is fundamental to our existence. However, food shortage is severe in many countries where many people are still going hungry and every second there are people starved to death. It is my hope that I can feed the world well through my research on organic farming.
Secondly, medicine is also one of my considerations, which, I think, is another worthy way to save lives. Can you give me some advice? I'm looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Ming
