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.

When the coach started pitching, hitting became 1 for me. I missed every single pitch. From the side, I heard my teammate Emily laughing at me. My face got hot and my throat felt like it had a softball stuck in. At that moment, I was starting to 2 playing softball.The next afternoon, when Mum said it was time to play the game, I told her I was 3 . She allowed me to lie down for a while. So I went to my room and 4 myself in bed. This was difficult for me because I was fine.Soon Mum came in and said, "Time to go!" She didn't even ask if I felt 5 . I imagined Emily laughing from the sideline, and 6 I really did feel sick to my stomach. I began crying loudly. Still, Mum pulled my team T-shirt over my head. She said, "You have to play for the rest of the season, and only after that we can talk about 7 you′ll continue next year." She added that practice was what I needed, not giving up. She promised to practice with me.I got two hits that afternoon, and Emily didn't make a 8 .

But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a t ree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducksin the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingo’s body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.Would you like to sleep how they sleep?1. The animals that sleep with half their brains are _______.A. ducks and sealsB. dolphins and ducksC. bats and dolphinsD. flamingos and seabirds2. Horses often stand up when they sleep because _______.A. they can run from danger quicklyB. they are afraid of falling overC. this helps them to sleep deeplyD. it takes them a long time to go to sleep3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How animals sleepB. Sleep to stay healthyC. Sleep as animals doD. What sleeping animals are likeBLizzie's diary from Antarctica(南极洲)Day 3:Tuesday December 2We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We'd be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth，sometimes you can't fly at all.We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we'd be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air，there was still a chance we wouldn't be able to fly the whole day.Day 4:Wednesday December 3After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.We're staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It's about minus 2℃today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars(常客)here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!Day 5:Thursday December 4I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I'm told it's a bit colder today，about minus 5℃，but it's not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we're allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.Day 7:Saturday December 6Not a cloud in the sky and it's warm enough to sit outside(in a jacket).The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery(风景)changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I'd step outside in the morning and think，"I'm sure that big mountain of ice wasn't there yesterday." It's because the sea ice is always moving一slowly thankfully!4. Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on .A. TuesdayB. WednesdayC. ThursdayD. Saturday5. What could stop Lizzie from leaving Stanley for Rothera?A. Strong winds.B. Thick clouds.C. Mountains of ice.D. Low temperatures.6. How did Lizzie feel during her stay in the Antarctic?A. Afraid.B. Nervous.C. Amazed.D. Bored.7. What impressed Lizzie most about Rothera was that .A. people walked around in T-shirtsB. there was a special training courseC. the weather was sometimes warmD. the scenery changed every dayCNowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a "sea of digital(数字) technology". As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others."I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things." said a teacher, Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone."Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and fter scriool. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age?Digital technology can be used for good or bad.
