In which film aren’t there any Chinese actors?A. Mr. SixB. The GhoulsC. Detective China TownD. The Abominable BrideBWe are always using body language in our daily life. When we have a conversation with someone, we may be usingmore body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries.That's why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly. Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means ‘He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head'. In our Chinese culture, nodding(点头) our head up and down means ‘yes'and shaking our head from side to side means ‘no'. However, in parts of India, Greece and Turkey, it means just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise yourhand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means ‘You're all right or Everything is OK'. However,if we do this in France or Belgium, it means ‘You're worth zero'. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture(手势). Or we are thought to be very rude.The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the V sign meant ‘peace'. However, during WorldWar II, it meant ‘victory'. In Greece, it is a very insulting(污辱性) sign.Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughoutthe world, such as smiling and crying.49. In England, if people point to their heads it means they think someone is ________.A. cleverB. stupidC. headacheD. angry50. In India, if one nods his head up and down, it means he ________.A. doesn't agreeB. agreeC. is happyD. is sad51. In France, if you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means ________.A. you are cleverB. everything is OKC. it is trueD. you are worth nothingCThe size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with bigears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes(the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached(连着) to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he/she just has high blood pressure(高血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.52. In the old times people might ask for help from a person with ________.A. red earsB. big earsC. small earsD. pale ears53. The passage is mainly about ________.A. the size of our earsB. musical earsC. ears which related to charactersD. our faces and ears54. We can guess Beethoven may have ________.A. pale earsB. white earsC. small earsD. ears with a big inside hole55. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher ________.A. get biggerB. get smallerC. get colderD. get redder五、词汇(每小题1分, 共15分)--I don't think the actors play very well. However, the story ________ is really fun.57. --Mr. Black, I worry about the exam so much. What can I do?--Don't worry. Before handing in your test paper, remember to look ________ your answers as carefully as possible.58. It's important to brush your teeth at ________ twice a day.59. ________, they passed the exams and went to their favorite high school.60.

So he went to a medical school in Virginia, the USA. But when he was there, he did things in different ways. For example, he didn't like the doctors' white coats. He liked wearing shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients(病人)，and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn't like Adams very much because he was too different.Adams believed that people in hospital need more than just medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them not just as patients, but as people, too. He spent a lot of time with children in hospital, and often put a special red nose on his face to look like a clown and to make the children laugh.When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital called "The Gesundheit Institute", together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place in a different way of working with patients.Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life.

Our once lively house became quiet and lonely. I missed and worried him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say hello or to give him a word of warning.One of my messages says, "So you told me you lost your wallet. If you are always careless, one day you'll wake up and find yourself lost."I did get Eric's messages, but most of them were about money. I was a bit angry.They were not different from the notes he used to leave on the white board when he was at home."I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90. Please help!""Money is running short because I've bought some books for my research paper. Help me please!"Recently, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles (文章). Some are funny, some are touching and some make me think. He knows I haven't got many things to do in my free time. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times.I read the articles slowly, like a careful student, with mixed feelings as well- my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my teacher!So I write back, "I've read all those articles, I'll take them as a loving son's hopes towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still young enough to accept new things. That makesme feel proud. We parents can't learn quickly and change in both body and mind. Thank you, my son."In this way we share ideas, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel warm.（1）From the underlined sentence, we can infer (推断) that the son often wrote about ____________ in the past.A. studyB. hobbiesC. moneyD. future（2）The following EXCEPT ____________ are the reasons (原因) why Eric sends his mother all kinds of articles.A. giving his mother some things to doB. asking his mother for some more moneyC. helping his mother keep up with the timesD. helping his mother understand young men better（3）The writer's feelings about her son after leaving for university can be described as ____________.A. proud →angry →worriedB. proud →worried →angryC. angry →worried →pr oudD. worried-→angry →proud（4）Which part of a magazine may the article come from?A. Life.B. Health.C. Sports.D. Technology.13.阅读理解For thousands of years, humans(人) have explored (探索) the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploringspace. Astronomers (天文学家) are the modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start exploring?First of all, astronomers look for a star. That's because our own Earth moves around a star— the Sun. More importantly, it is neither too far from nor too near to the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.However, if the planet is in a good place, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock (岩石). Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That's because there is often water under the rock.After many years of exploring, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. It's Gliese 581g and it's near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the temperature is between -31°C and -12°C. That's cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle, for example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days, not 365 Earth days. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.（1）How do astronomers discover a new planet for humans to live on? Choose the right order.a. Astronomers look for three key things.b. Astronomers look for and find a right star.c. Astronomers look at the planets around the star.A. a-b-c.B. b-a-c.C. b-c-a.D. c-a-b.（2）According to paragraph 3, which of the following things is the most important?A. Water.B. Air.C. Rock.D. Food.（3）What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 4 refer to?A. the EarthB. Gliese 581gC. the SunD. Gliese（4）What's the main idea of the text?A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth.B. There are some planets like our Earth.C. Water, air and rock are important.D. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.答案：10.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）B【考点】日常生活类，说明文【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要介绍了四个动画工作室，包括他们的位置、基本情况以及代表的动画电影等信息。

The highlight （亮点）of the festival is the tomato fight which takes place on that day, lasting about an hour. The event has become one of the high-lights on Spain s summer festival calendar with thousands of people rushing to this little Valencian town for this event.Getting thereMost young visitors book cheap hotels in Valencia and then take the train to Buflol for the day.

The owners provide you with the tent, the bed as well as breakfast and an evening meal if you want it. It also has a small pool which is so great once you get back from the tomato fight. What to wearWhatever you wear is going to get destroyed（破坏），so make sure you lake a change of clothes for the return train journey. You can try to clean up a little at the public showers near the river.There actually are a few rules that need to be followed during La Tomatina. These rules are set out by the Bunol Town Council:•Don't bring any kind of bottles or other things that could cause an accident•You must not destroy T-shirts.•Keep a safe distance fr om trucks.•Tomatoes must be crushed （被压碎）before throwing so that they don t hurt anybody.•As soon as you hear the 2nd banger （爆竹），you must stop throwing tomatoes•Follow the directions of security staff.27.
