Passage 1
Charlie Chaplin has broken all records in making people laugh. No one has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the walking stick and the oversized shoes.
Much has been written about Chaplin's art and his career, and opinions have ranged widely. But perhaps those who called him "the truest human being of our time" came closest to the truth. Those who have called him a genius stress the timeless and common qualities in his work. It is an art filled with sad elements and deep human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but become involved. It is for these reasons, I believe, that the figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation.
All the writers who give accounts of Chaplin's life agree that Charlie's unhappy early years in the area in London where houses were dirty and worn had a great influence on his development and on the type of films he made. Chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memoirs (回忆录). The more one reads about his earliest period, the more one tends to agree. Indeed, his suffering youth had a lasting influence on him.
Chaplin was never afraid to deal with subjects causing much disagreement in his films. He gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American soldiers came home from World War I in 1918. This was regarded as madness, but the performance was well received. So perfectly did it hit the nail on the head that even the returning soldiers found it impossible to hate it and deeply appreciated this short and humorous performance on what for them had been an unpleasant reality. Chaplin gave numerous performances attacking capital governments, satirizing (讽刺) the cruelty of the machine age, and even making fun of Hitler.
Years after his death, the funny films of motion picture actor and director Charlie Chaplin continue to be well loved. He is particularly well known for his success as a creator of humorous presentations that make fun of people, the establishment, or networks.

Passage 2
Although Beethoven could sit down and compose easily, his really great compositions did not come easily at all. They cost him a great deal of hard work and he always found it hard to satisfy himself.
When he was 28, he began to notice a strange noise in his ears. As it grew worse, he went to see doctors, and was told that he was going deaf. This was too much for any composer to bear. Beethoven was without hope; he was sure that he was going to die. He went to the countryside where he wrote a long good-bye letter to his brothers, describing how sad and lonely his deafness made him. He longed to die, and said to death, "Come when you will; I shall meet you bravely."
In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went
on writing music, though he could hear what he wrote more and more faintly. He wrote the music for which we remember him best after he became deaf. This music was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the artistic and beautiful music that earlier composers had written for their rich listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting music which reminds us of his troubled and courageous (勇敢的) life. His Heroic(英雄的) Symphony (交响乐) and Fifth Symphony both show his courage in struggling with his fate.
In time he went completely deaf, but he wrote more creatively than ever, for he could "hear" his music in his mind. He was lonely and often unhappy but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music, such as his last symphony, the Ninth. Because of his courage and strong will to triumph, his music has given joy and encouragement to millions of people.
1. How did Beethoven's deafness affect him?
A. It killed him.
B. It stopped his writing music.
C. It drove him mad.
D. It helped him create great music.
2. Which of the following music works written by Beethoven was joyful?
A. No. 9 Symphony.
B. No. 7 Symphony.
C. No. 5 Symphony.
D. No. 3 Symphony.
3. Beethoven longed to die because _______________.
A. he had told death he would meet it bravely
B. he felt his deafness was too much for him to bear as a composer
C. he wouldn't be able to write music for rich listeners after becoming deaf
D. he wouldn't be able to support his family
4. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. Music and Symphony
B. Hard to Satisfy
C. The Music of Fate
D. Deafness in Music.
5. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. When he was partly deaf, Beethoven's music became more and more gentle.
B. His music became more and more artistic although he was deaf.
C. He wrote fainter and fainter music after he went deaf.
D. He composed exciting and encouraging music that reflected his struggle with his fate. Passage 3
English food is thought of poorly in other countries. This is most probably because foreigners in England are often obliged (不得不) to eat in the more fast-food type of restaurant. Here it is necessary to prepare food rapidly in large amounts, and the taste of the food inevitably suffers, though its quality, from the point of view of nourishment (营养), is quite satisfactory. Still, it is rather dull and not always pleasantly presented. Moreover, the Englishman eating in a cheap or medium price restaurant is usually in a hurry (at least at lunch), and a meal eaten in a leisurely way in pleasant surroundings is always far more enjoyable than a meal taken quickly in a business-like environment. In general, it is possible to get a good meal at a reasonable price; in fact, such a meal may be less expensive than similar food in other countries. For those with money to spare, there are restaurants that compare favorably with the best in any country.
In many countries breakfast is a snack (点心) rather than a meal, but the typical English breakfast is a full meal. Some people have a bowl of hot or cold cereal(谷物) to begin with. Then comes a large and filling course, usually cooked, such as bacon (腊肉) and eggs, or some other type of meat. Yorkshire ham (火腿) is also a breakfast many people enjoy. Afterwards comes toast, with butter and marmalade (果子酱), and perhaps some fruit. Tea or coffee is drunk with the meal. Many English people now take such a full breakfast only on Sunday morning.
1. Food in the more fast-food type of restaurant in Britain is always _____________.
A. served in large amounts
B. very pleasant in appearance
C. quite acceptable for foreigners
D. not so delicious
2. According to the passage, English food is _______________ in terms of nourishment.
A. actually quite satisfactory
B. not good at all
C. always very simple
D. always taken in pleasant surroundings despite its poor taste
3. Foreigners in Britain always choose to ____________________.
A. eat the most typical food
B. have a full breakfast every day
C. buy the least expensive food
D. have their meals in the more fast-food type of restaurant
4. Which of the following statements is probably true?
A. Englishmen always talk about time while eating.
B. The same meal would be more enjoyable if eaten in better surroundings.
C. It's almost impossible for any British restaurant to rank among the best in the world.
D. People can hardly get enough food at a reasonable price in Britain.
5. Which of the following statements is probably NOT true?
A. Many Englishmen have a full breakfast only once a week.
B. Typical breakfast in Britain is a meal rather than a snack.
C. Englishmen are so stuck in their old ways that they have a full breakfast every day.
D. English people always have tea or coffee with a full breakfast instead of fruit juice.
Passage 4
Television carries more national advertising than any other medium in the United States. The same is true in some smaller countries such as Spain and Portugal, where it is the only medium reaching a general national audience. In many countries, (Sweden and Denmark, for example) the state-owned television accepts no advertising. In many other countries the amount of commercial (商业广告) time is very much limited, as in France, Germany, and Italy. Russian state-owned television began accepting a limited amount of advertising in 1988.
The chief reason that television is so well liked among United States advertisers is that it reaches a vast number of people at the same time. While it can cost well over 100,000 dollars, a 30-second commercial on network television can be seen and heard by as many as 25 million viewers. For companies that must make prospects aware of their products and convince them of their benefits immediately, there is nothing as efficient as television advertising.
Because it employs motion as well as words, pictures, sounds, and music, television is a
valuable medium for products that lend themselves to demonstration. No other medium is as effective in showing how quickly an automobile can move or how well a certain type of wristwatch will stand up under heavy use and continue to run. In the same way, it is an ideal medium for showing how some products can make a person feel better about him- or herself, such as long-distance telephone calls.
1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. There is less advertising on TV in Spain than in Sweden.
B. One can never see any commercial on TV in Denmark since it is not accepted at all.
C. The amount of commercial time is very much limited in most European countries.
D. French people don't have to worry about being troubled by commercials.
2. According to the passage, what is the main reason United States advertisers like
television so much?
A. It communicates information more quickly.
B. Every household has at least one TV set.
C. It communicates information to a vast number of people at the same time.
D. American people love watching TV more than reading.
3. The word prospects in the 2nd paragraph means _____________.
A. potential customers
B. competitors
C. working staff at TV stations
D. partners
4. Which of the following is employed in TV advertising?
A. Motion
B. Sounds and music.
C. Pictures
D. All of the above.
5. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Television is as efficient as newspaper in demonstration benefits of a certain product
or service.
B. Television is a valuable medium in demonstrating benefits of a certain product or
service.
C. TV commercials can hardly help to communicate feelings.
D. People use advertising on TV whenever necessary because of its effectiveness. Passage 5
Coffee is one of the most popular (流行的) drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average.
Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake—at least for a short time―because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system (系统). A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.
One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850.
Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way.
Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans.
Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story. The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa.
Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.
1. What is caffeine?
A. a kind of seed
B. a kind of plant
C. a kind of drug
D. a kind of nut
2. What is the purpose of drinking coffee?
A. To become more awake.
B. To become more healthy.
C. To become more happy.
D. To become more clever.
3. Coffee was first found by a __________.
A. doctor
B. farmer
C. druggist（药剂师）
D. chemist（化学家）
4. How did the goats react after eating the plants?
A. They fell asleep.
B. They could not find their way home.
C. They started jumping up and down.
D. They wanted to eat more.
5. Why did the green bean get the name "Kaffa"?
A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much.
B. Because Kaldi's goats loved the green bean very much.
C. Because the beans were discovered in a place by this name.
D. Because the beans could be picked and dried.
Passage 6
Pepys and his wife had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd, 1666. The servants (女仆) were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see it. So he set to work to tidy (整理) his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything.
While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high
part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a baker's house in Pudding Lane (小巷), and then the flames (火焰) had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, so it is said, at Pie Corner.

Passage 8
After having lived for over twenty years in the same district, Albert Hall was forced to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.
It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws (爪子) and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend "Bingo". He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large piece a day. If at any time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to "buy him" to get into his own house! He spent such a large part of his money to keep Bingo supplied with chocolate that in the end he had to move somewhere else.

Passage 9
Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden
shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon focus on some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must hurry off to keep some forgotten appointment.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop.
A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can range round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting, "Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.
Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop making a gesture to him with his hand. Expecting to be scolded, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was put away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone had a desire to buy it!" he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.
1. Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant _______________.
A. only when you can find the book you want to buy
B. only when you are a book-lover
C. even when you enter it to avoid a sudden shower
D. even when you know you are late for an appointment
2. A bookshop is of much attraction because ______________ .
A. it offers you an opportunity to forget about everyday life
B. it offers you an opportunity to listen to as much music as possible
C. it allows you to learn about new ideas and ways of doing things
D. it allows you to have a good excuse for being late for an appointment
3. In a good bookshop __________.
A. an assistant should always follow you
B. an assistant should frequently approach you and offer help

B. in case the medical student wanted to buy it
C. because he wanted to sell it at a high price
D. because he wanted to keep it for himself
Passage 10
In the United States, it is not normal to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows
that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important role. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation (邀请) to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.
The meaning of time is different in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. To be on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as not polite or not fully responsible. In the US no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour; it would be bad-mannered. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
1. If you telephone someone early in the day, it means ___________________.
A. you are expected to explain why
B. you are not kind enough
C. you want to show your concern for him
D. you have a very important matter to discuss

3. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded _______________.
A. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended early enough
B. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended too far in advance
C. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended repeatedly
D. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended to too many people

Reading Comprehension (2’X20=40’) Directions: Read the following three passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Passage One Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong things. The key to preventing or treating behavior problem is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit”, it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you pleasantly if they accept that you are in charge. Tainting should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and more safely allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. 1. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______. A) worsen in modern society B) be just part of their nature C) occur when they go wild D) present at threat to the community 2. The primary purpose of obedience training is to ________. A) enable the dog to regain its normal behavior B) teach the dog to perform clever tricks C) make the dog aware of its owner’s authority D) provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior 3. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______. A) an extreme measure in obedience training B) a good way to teach the dog new tricks C) the foundation for dogs to perform tasks D) essential to solve the dog’s behavior problems 4. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters? A) To show their willingness to obey. B) To show their affection for their masters. C) To avoid being punished. D) To win leadership of the dog pack. 5. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner________. A) will enjoy a better family life. B) can give the dog more freedom C) can give the dog more rewards D) will have more confidence in himself Passage Two: Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and

2018年大学英语第一学期期末考试(A卷) Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience. It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, who review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.” In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星）from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time. After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock. Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted? No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings are examined by other scientists. That’s how we learn. Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two. It’s a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.
一年级数学试卷命题说明 一年级数学期末试卷说明 一、命题依据： 以《全日制义务教育数学(1-2年级)课程标准（实验稿）》和目前使用的《义务教育课程标准实验教科书.数学一年级下册》（教科版）为命题依据. 命题范围： 数学一年级下册全册内容.测查的内容是《数学（低段）课程标准》中要求学生识记、理解、分析、运用的相关内容. 命题原则： （一）、注重数学内容的基础性，强化过程与方法的评价. 《数学课程标准》指出，数学作为人们生活、劳动和学习必不可少的工具，为其他学科提供了语言、思想和方法，是一切重大技术发展的基础，也是学生全面发展和终身可持续发展的基础. 由此可以看出小学数学基础知识和基本技能是基础的基础，在小学数学试卷中无疑要占绝对大的份量. 但在编拟试卷时，对单纯的再现性、记忆性的基础则尽量少考或不考，对数学“双基”的评价则更多关注学生对知识本身意义的理解和灵活运用. （二）、注重数学内容的生活性，强化对学生应用意识及动手操作能力的评价. 数学来源于生活，应用于生活，数学的价值在于应用. 在命题改革实践中我们重视《课标》基本理念的实施，加强数学与生活实际的联系，注意选择利用“现实的、有意义的、富有挑战性的”生活中的素材，精心设计试题，让学生在对现实问题的探究和运用数学知识解决实际问题的过程中，拓展思路，扩大视野，体会到数学与生活的联系，体验到数学的应用价值. （三）、注重试题形式的多样性、开放性，强化对学生的创新精神及探索能力的评价. 数学命题要促进学生发展，命题形式就应富有创意. 要达成这一目标，最重要的策略就是突破传统数学命题纯文字叙述的枯燥藩篱，而换之以图像、表格、对话、等丰富的形式加以呈现，把对数学知识的检测建立在生动有趣的新颖形式上，使数学命题为学生喜闻乐见的
