About the year 1900, a small dark-haired boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting

out- side the black entrances of London theatre. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn't get work and therefore wandered(徘徊) about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.

But twenty years later this same Chaplin became the greatest, best known, and best loved comedian(喜剧演员) in the world. Nearly all visitors to cinema must have seen some of Chaplin's films. People everywhere had sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are almost silent. It isn't what he says that makes people laugh. His comedy doesn't depend on words or languages. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words, of common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. It's a kind of world language.

Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.

Why was young Chaplin waiting outside the back entrances of the theatres？

A．Because he wanted to enjoy a play in the theatre.

B．Because he was hungry and wanted some food.

C．Because he liked to play a part in a play and thus make a living.

D．Because he wished to become a man of business.

听力原文： Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationships with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term--quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.

Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life？ One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900；you could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75 or be older.

(30)

A．Different interpretations of the term “health.”

B．Improving the quality of life

C．The importance of health to quality living.

D．People's expectations of a long and healthy life.

"If he has a child, he could name it 3.0," he said. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard. 23. What do we know about "Jon Black Cusack 2.0" according to the passage？ 24.

听力原文：Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use

听力原文： Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.

How much paper do you use every year？ Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.

Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.

(33)

A．More people could be educated than before.

B．More ways could he used to exchange knowledge.

C．More jobs could be provided than before.

D．More books could he printed and distributed.

根据短文回答 36～40 题。 Ford's Assembly LineWhen it comes to singling out those who have

根据短文回答 36～40 题。

Ford's Assembly Line

When it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars--one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses (屠宰场).

Back in the early 1900's, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a "disassembly line,. Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on e conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time.

Professor David Household of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened:

"The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assembly team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person."

Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed (拖,拉) past workers who completed them one piece at a time. It wasn't long before Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then And so efficient and economical was this new system that me cut the price of his cars in half, to $260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers the world over copied him. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitle today and tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile has arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation (自动化), everything from toasters to perfumes is made on assembly lines.

第 36 题 Which of the following statements about Henry Ford is NOT true？（）

A．He introduced a new way of production.

B．He influenced all manufacturing.

C．He inspired other auto makers.

D．He changed the minds of historians.

Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

When it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives, you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars — one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses.

Back in the early 1900’s, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a “disassembly line”. Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto (磁发电机). Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened:

“The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assembly team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person.”

Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed past workers who completed them one piece at a time. It wasn’t long before Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then. And so efficient and economical was this new system that he cut the price of his cars in half, to $260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers all over the world copied him. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitled Today and Tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile had arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation, everything from toasters to perfumes is made on assembly lines.

第27题：In Paragraph 1, the author gives a historian’s statement about Henry Ford to show _________.

A) Henry Ford is quite popular with historians

B) historians are quite interested in Henry Ford

C) Henry Ford’s influence on history can hardly be ignored
