It was through Charlie Chaplin that the Hollywood comedy movies became famous. ‎ Then in the 1920s came another trend of animated cartoons. They were the most popular Hollywood comedy movies of the time. The several popular characters of that era were Felix the cat, Krazy Kat and Betty Boop. However, the popularity of these movies was blocked out due to lack of sound and color. The end of 1920s, the Hollywood comedy industry marked a change brought about by the introduction of sound into the movies. This has allowed the industry to create dramatic new film styles and use verbal humor. These films were soon replacing silent movies. These films used dialogue of comedians such as the W.C Fields and the Marx Brothers. Charlie Chaplin was the last comedian to have acted in the silent films. ‎ When the United States entered into World War II, Hollywood movies changed ‎ its course to themes related to the conflicts, and Hollywood comedy movies described more on military themes. The war time experienced a boom, where restrictions on the traveling made nearly a quarter of the money spent on attending movies. ‎ In the 1950s, the interest shifted where the TV became popular. During this time the release of Hollywood comedy films declined (衰落). The 1960s saw an increasing number of broad, star-packed comedies. In 1970 Hollywood comedy movies reflected the anti-war sentiment, which was popular then. ‎ In the 1980s the gag (笑料) based comedy Airplane was released, and Hollywood comedy movies paved its way for more of the same. The popular comedians of this time included Dudley Moore, Tom Hanks, etc. Jim Carrey, the Canadian actor and a comedian, came into Hollywood comedy movies in the late 1980s where he won the role in such a comedy, Copper Mountain. ‎ The most popular Hollywood comedy movies were of John Hughes, which includes Ferris Buellers Day Off and Home Alone series of 1990s. The later films focused more on family audience. This was a revival (复兴) in comedy movies. Comedy movies remain popular till date. ‎ ‎21.

The young scientist discovered a catalyst(催化剂) that could turn Egypt’s one million tons of annually waste plastic into a $78 million worth of biofuel each year. She hopes that the development could “provide an economically efficient method for production of hydrocarbon(碳氢化合物) fuel,” and many appear to agree; Faiad has been awarded the European Fusion Development Agreement Award at the 23rd European Union Contest for Young Scientists, and is seeking patents for her discovery.‎ A Pee(尿)-Powered Energy Generator(发电机) Created by Four Nigerian Teenagers Four Nigerian teenage girls amazed visitors to the Maker Faire Africa with their pee-powered energy generator. Able to source an impressive six hours of power from just one liter of urine(尿)， the 14-and15-year-olds’ renewable energy generator holds interesting possibilities for providing electricity in remote areas or in disaster zones.‎ Turning Banana Peels(皮) into Bioplastics ‎16-year-old Turkish student Elif Bilgin developed her very own technique for turning the ordinary banana peel into bioplastics, a discovery which she hopes could reduce dependence on petrol chemicals and make use of some of the 200 tons of banana peel thrown away daily in Thailand alone. Her development relies on the properties of the starches(淀粉) and cellulose(纤维) found in the outer layer of banana peels, which through a chemical process developed by Bilgin herself, can be transformed into a non-decaying(不腐烂的) bioplastics. ‎ ‎25. What do we know from the first invention?‎ A. The young student was working in a factory though she is young.‎ B. The young student’s invention will surely solve the energy problem.‎ C. The young Egyptian student’s invention is very environmentally friendly.‎ D. People seemed to have different opinions on the young student’s invention.‎ ‎26. What is the purpose of Elif Bilgin’s invention? ‎ A. Increase the dependence on nature. B. Make use of petro chemicals resources.‎ C.Throw away unnecessary banana peels. D.To be less dependent on petro chemicals.‎ ‎27. What do the three inventions have in common?‎ A. They all make full use of nature resources. B. They all try to save a lot of energy.‎ C.They are unique inventions by the young. D. They all can be put into use easily.‎ C ‎ How often do you read a newspaper? About 10 million people read every day in the UK. The most popular newspapers are the tabloids(小报), which are full of celebrity(名人) news and how did these papers get their stories?‎ ‎ Simple! Some have been breaking the law! They’ve been doing this by hacking into people’s mobile phones and stealing private information. Police found out about this back in 2005. At the time, reporters working on The News of The World were accused of hacking the phones of the royal family and other famous people.‎ ‎ But it soon became clear that other celebrities were also victims. They include author J.K. Rowling, actor Hugh Grant and actress Sienna Miller. As a result of the scandal(丑闻), Murdoch(the owner of The News of The World) was forced to close down The News of The World, and David Cameron(the British Prime Minister) announced that there would be an inquiry(调查) into the press.‎ ‎ Lord Justice Leveson(a leading English judge) was appointed to lead the inquiry. On opening the first session Leveson said, “The press provides an essential check on all aspects of public life. That’s why any failure within the media affects all of us. At the heart of this inquiry, therefore may be one simple question: who guards the guardians?” The inquiry is focusing on three major areas: the relationship between the press and 1. ...the public. 2. ...the police. 3. ...politics.‎ ‎ The big question is, what changes are going to be made as a result of the inquiry? Defenders of freedom of the press are worried that journalists won’t be allowed to investigate freely, and ‎ that new laws will be introduced to limit what they can and can’t do. At present, journalists often use undercover techniques to get a story, especially if it’s in the public interest.‎ ‎28. How do the tabloids get news about celebrities?‎ A. They all have to break the law to get the private news.‎ B. Some use illegal ways to get private information.‎ C. They get celebrities’ private information by phoning.‎ D. They steal private information by using a mobile phone.‎ ‎29. What is Leveson’s attitude to the press?‎ A. He has pity on the press. B. He is against the press.‎ C.He will punish the press. D. He will be good to the press.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word refer to in the fourth paragraph?‎ A. Lord Justice. B. The press. C. The common people. D. The police.‎ ‎31. What is the best title of the article?‎ A. Journalists in trouble. B. The law in trouble. ‎ C. Celebrities in trouble. D. Lord Justice in trouble.‎ D ‎ Twenty minutes of exercise may help kids with ADHD(小儿多动症) settle in to read or solve a math problem, a new research suggests.‎ ‎ The small study, of 40 8～10 year-olds, looked only at the short-term effects of a single period time of exercise. But researchers warn that they are not saying exercise is the answer to ADHD.‎ ‎ But it seems that exercise may at least do no harm to kids' ability to focus, they say. And further studies should look into whether it's a good choice for managing some children's ADHD.‎ ‎ "This is only a first study," said lead researcher Matthew B. Pontifex, of Michigan State University in East Lansing.‎ ‎ "We need to learn how long the effects last, and how exercise might combine with or compare to traditional ADHD treatments" like stimulant medications(刺激性药物), Pontifex explained.‎ ‎ He noted that there's been a lot of research into older adults'. But little is known about kids, even though some parents, teachers and doctors have advocated exercise for helping children with ADHD.‎ ‎ So for their study, Pontifex and his colleagues found 20 children with diagnosed(诊断) or ‎ suspected ADHD, and 20 ADHD-free kids of the same age and family-income level.‎ ‎ All of the children took a standard test of their ability to ignore distractions(注意力分散) and stay focused on a simple task at hand --- the main ability that troubles kids with ADHD, Pontifex noted. The kids also took standard tests of reading, spelling and math skills.‎ ‎ Each child took the tests after either 20 minutes of treadmill(跑步机) exercise or 20 minutes of quiet reading (on separate days). Overall, the study found, both groups of children performed better after exercise than after reading.‎ ‎ On the test of focusing ability, the ADHD group was correct on about 80 percent of responses after reading, versus(相对于) about 84 percent after exercise. Kids without ADHD performed better —reaching about a 90 percent correct rate after exercise.‎ ‎ Similarly, both groups of kids scored higher on their reading and math tests after exercise, versus post-reading.‎ ‎32. What does the new research suggest?‎ A. Exercising will make kids with ADHD stronger. ‎ B. Exercising will help kids with ADHD focus better.‎ C. Exercising will help make math problems easier.‎ D. Exercising will help kids read more quickly.‎ ‎33. What is the problem about the research into kids?‎ A. There is too much research into the older adults.‎ B. The research about the ADHD is enough.‎ C. The research about kids with ADHD is limited.‎ D. Exercise is not combined with traditional treatment.‎ ‎34. Why did Pontifex’s team need 20 ADHD –free kids during the research?‎ A. They need to compare their performance with that of kids with ADHD.‎ B. They need them to do some reading and math problems after school.‎ C. They need them to take a standard test of their ability to ignore distractions.‎ D. They need them to take standard tests of reading, spelling and math skills.‎ ‎35. What happened to the kids after exercising?‎ A. Kids with ADHD performed better than kids without ADHD in reading.‎ B. Kids without ADHD performed the same before and after exercising.‎ A. Both groups scored higher on their reading and math tests after reading.‎ B. Both kids with ADHD and without ADHD performed better after exercise.‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?‎ At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 36 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green – eyed monster” and the UK is its home.‎ Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 37 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.‎ ‎38 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.‎ ‎“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”‎ ‎ 39 They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 40 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.‎ A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.‎ B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.‎ C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”‎ D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.‎ E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.‎ F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.‎ G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ A Man and His Word In a used furniture business, unlike new, you cannot order stock (存货) from a catalogue. People call in, and you have to go out and make an offer. “You can’t 41 what you don’t have.” my father would say.‎ ‎ When I was aged thirteen, my father lost his store 42 , a one-armed guy who could do more with his one arm than many will do with two. With his manager gone, my father came to me. “Will you come in while I go out to 43 the day’s calls until I find the 44 person?” he asked.‎ ‎ The store has tens of thousands of 45 . “People like to bargain,” he told me, “So I don’t 46 prices.

However, if it has a freezer that goes well, sell it for eighty dollars, in 49 condition, maybe one hundred dollars. Dishes come in with a houseful of furniture, and I don’t even 50 them in when I give a price. You can sell them for a cent to a dollar.

My employee gave you the 54 and that’s the price.”‎ Afterward, I asked my father, “what was that all about ?”‎ It turned out that it was an antique plate, worth a few hundred dollars. I was 55 . Here I was 56 to help my father in the business and instead I was losing money for him.‎ He said, “I could have 57 the sales if I’d wanted to. You were just writing up the slip and hadn’t yet taken the money. Besides, by civil law, you’re under 58 . But, a man stands by his word and the word of his 59 .”‎ The deal cost my father a small amount of money, but I learned a 60 lesson in integrity（正直）.‎ ‎41. A. buy B. sell C. order D. store ‎42.

As we can see, some pedestrians don' t obey traffic rules and run red lights frequently, which blocks traffic and seriously affects the normal driving of cars; besides, this kind of behavior can easily cause accidents , endangering the safety of themselves and others. In a word, running red lights can produce negative effects and does not do good to the development of good social behavior.‎ It is really a pity to see all this in our society. To deal with the situation, our government has taken some measures. When caught running red lights, the pedestrians are criticized to have them become aware of the dangers of doing this or are warned on the spot and fined for this. ‎ For the sake of all, not only should we obey the traffic rules, but also we must remind others of the importance of doing that. ‎
