The silent films were made in the early 1900s. They are very 36 from modem films. In fact, it would be very difficult for us to watch silent films now. They are 37 black and white and are often not very clear. However, these are not the 38 problems for us. The biggest problem is that they're silent.

Silent films don't use the same acting skills as 41 in films with sound. The actors in silent films used 42 body language. For example, a person who was 43 in a silent film would open his or her mouth and eyes very wide. It's really very funny. The 44 was not very powerful so the actors 45 wear a lot of make-up(化妆). Otherwise, it would be difficult to see their faces.
Silent films were usually very 46 because it was hard to develop a long story 47 speech. The films were also very 48 to make. One of the most famous actors of silent films, Charlie Chaplin, said, \" 49 I need to make a film is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl. He knew how to 50 money.

Do you know what Oscar is? When did it start? Maybe you can find the background of the awards in the following passage.
The awards started in 1929. Their full title is “The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards”. The Academy is a group of people who have worked in the film industry for many years. They decide who will receive the awards. The awards are often referred to as the “Oscar”. This is a nickname given to the awards by a lady called Margaret Herrick. She was once the director of the Academy and she once said that the little gold statue reminded her of her uncle Oscar! 中国最大的教育门户网站 E度中考网www.zhongkao.com

The Oscar is always an exciting event. Each year, at least one unusual thing happens. When the Italian actor and director Roberto Benigni won an Oscar for best foreign film, he danced on stage! When Gwyneth Paltrow, the star of Shakespeare in Love won the Oscar for best actress, she could not make her acceptance speech(受奖演讲) because she was crying so much with happiness!
In 1987, Roberto Benigni won the award for best director for a film about the last emperor of China. Since then, Chinese film and actors have started to make an impact(影响) at the award. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a huge success and it won the award for best foreign language film in 2001. It also won several technical awards for its amazing “flying” people. We expect to see more awards for Chinese film in the near future.
It’s time for the Oscar again. Once more, the stars will dress up in their finest and go to Kodar Theater. There, they will find out who had won the awards for best actor, best actress and best director. Millions of people watch the awards every year to find out who the winners are. Some people watch it to see the stars crying and laughing as they receive their awards. 51. Who give the awards?
A. In 1927. B. Oscar. C. The Academy of Nicknames.
D. A group of people who have worked in the film industry for many years. 52. What did Gwyneth Paltrow win an Oscar for?
A. Best Director. B. Best Foreign Film. C. Best Actress. D. Best Actor.
53. Which Chinese film won an award for best foreign film?
A. Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger. B. Crouching and Hidden Dragon and Tiger. C. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. D. Crouching, Dragon, Hiding Tiger. 54. Where are the Oscars held?
A. At the Academy. B. in a Los Angeles restaurant. C. At Oscar’s house. D. At Kodar Theater. 55. Why do some people watch Oscars?
A. To see the restaurant. B. To see the fashion.

In the United States, parents tend(倾向) to encourage their children to develop their potential(潜能) to the fullest extent—in a word, to dream.
American parents concentrate（集中） on what their kids can do, not what they can’t. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes（运动员）, diplomats（外交官） and doctors; many even want to become president（总统）.
American parents always encourage their kids to take part in all kinds of activities at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that joining in these activities can make their children mature（成熟） and more able. Schoolwork is important, to be sure, but parents realize that social skills that their children learn are more closely approximate to the skills they will need in the “real world”.
As a rule, Chinese kids are often told and made to study hard and pass many exams. Too often, time away from schoolbooks is seen as time wasted. This approach(观点)does harm to children. It has created so much pressure for Chinese children that leaders of the country have issued(发布) calls for less homework at the lower grades levels. People think only healthy kids can become healthy adults.
More and more Chinese parents have understood this. We are very confident about China’s future.
56. American parents always encourage their kids to ____________
A. become very important people, such as actors, diplomats and doctors. B. dream and take part in many school activities. C. work hard at their lessons and do much schoolwork. D. Learn from their schoolwork and the real world.
57. The underlined word approximate in Paragraph 3 probably means___________. A. different B. correct C. similar D. wonderful 58. We Chinese students should _________________.

A. study harder than the children in the USA. B. not waste time on school activities.
C. not do any homework and spend time on activities. D. be given less pressure and become healthier. 59. The writer thinks that __________________.
A. American children don’t have enough schoolwork. B. time away from schoolbooks is time wasted. C. kids in China should join in activities often D. schoolwork is not important in America.
60. Why have leaders in China issued calls for less homework? A. They want to learn from American kids.
B. They have realized Chinese kids are not mature at all C. They want children to be healthier.
D. They don’t think homework is important.

Three travelers, Allan, Carl and Paul were sitting on the chairs in a train station. They were waiting for a train that was very late. To kill the time, they began talking to each other.
At first, they talked about the weather and their work. Then Paul said, \"Tell me--what would you most like to do if your doctor tells you that you have only three months to live?
The other two men thought about this for a while, then Carl spoke.
\"Well,\" he said, \"if I have only three months to live, I'll take all my money out of the bank and go to foreign countries for holidays with my best friend, Erik. I'd like to travel to the places in the world as many as possible. And I'll stay at the best hotels and then eat the best food. I think I'll have a wonderful time.\" \"That's very interesting.\" Paul said.
With these words, he turned to the other man, saying, \"And what about you?” \"I'll tell you a secret,\" Allan said. \"I always want to be a racing driver. So if I have only three months to live, the first thing I'd like to do is to sell my house. With the money I'll buy the fastest car in the world. Maybe I can enter all the big motor races.\"
Then he laughed, \"I might even end up (以„„而告终) world champion.\"
\"Now it’s your turn,\" Allan went on, “If your doctor tells you the bad news, what would you most like to do?”
\"Oh,\" said Paul with a smile, \"I'll go and see another doctor.\" 61. The three men were talking _____
A. in the post office B. in the waiting room C. on the train D. in the hospital 62. The man called _____ answered the question first.
A. Carl B. Allan C. Erik D. Paul 63. The three men _____ while waiting.
A. play a game B. play cards C. talked to each other D. read books
64. The underlined word \"champion\" means _____ in Chinese.
A.名人. B.赛车手 C.大款 D.冠军 65. Which sentence is TRUE according to the passage? A. The train didn't arrive on time.
B. Paul wanted to buy a racing car very much.
C. Allan was the second man to answer the question. D. Carl didn't like travelling at all.

Hi, everyone! Can you believe it? I walked into a maze(迷宫) at school!
“All right, today’s homework is to read through chapter two. See you tomorrow!” Mr Keller said as his class finished. This was my first class of the day in room 223.
In 10 seconds, I was alone in the classroom. Everybody had taken their things 中国最大的教育门户网站 E度中考网www.zhongkao.com
E度中考网www.zhongkao.com
and run out! I looked at my schedule: my next class was in room 103, not 223!
“AAAAAH!” I have just three minutes and 49 seconds to go all the way downstairs to arrive at room number 103. To make things worse, the main building of my school is H-shaped. There are so many crossroads that it can drive you crazy deciding which way to choose. Come on, I’m not a GPS! And in three minutes? It’s even hard for Liu Xiang to speed from 223 to 103 in that time. The rooms are at two different corners of the building!
The whole way, I ran in and out between people in a hurry. Finally, I made it to 103. “Thank god. I’m here!” I thought.
“I’m sorry, you’re late for class today. Would you mind having a little chat with me after school?” my English teacher asked politely. What? I thought I should be praised for running so fast!
Maybe this is how American people think of efficiency(效率). They control their time well and quickly make themselves it for a new environment. In a five-minute break, one doesn’t have to be an athlete to go from class to class. It all depends on if we really want to save our time for what is more meaningful.
66. By saying “I walked into a maze at school!” the writer means: ______. A. She played an interesting game at school. B. She wanted to know more about her school.
C. It was very easy for her to get lost at school. D. It was hard for her to find her next classroom.
67. The writer was left alone after the first class within 10 seconds because her
classmates ________.
A. all went out to have a rest B. all hurried to their next classrooms
C. wanted to rush home at once D. didn’t have any classes
68. Why might the writer’s English teacher want to talk with her after school? A. To tell her not to be late for class again. B. To tell her something about the subject.
C. To tell her something about her family. D. To tell her that it is all right to be late.
69. What can we know about American people from the story?
A. They are ready to help others. B. They don’t value efficiency. C. They don’t like being late. D. They are polite and friendly. 70. What does the underlined word “praised” mean?
A. 抬起 B. 称赞 C. 上升 D. 上涨

Here are some American classroom customs:
If the teacher asks a question, you are expected to give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat 中国最大的教育门户网站 E度中考网www.zhongkao.com
E度中考网www.zhongkao.com
the question. If you do not know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you do not know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.
There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent (缺席), you should call your teacher or someone who is in your class and ask for the assignment(作业). It is your responsibility (责任) to find out what assignments you have missed. It is not the teacher's responsibility to remind you of missed assignments.
You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you should take the test within one or two days after returning to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.
Be on time! It is considered rude to be late. Also it disturbs other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. ①In the U.S. it is not necessary to ______ on the door before you ______ the classroom. If you must leave during class, do so quietly. There is no need to ask the teacher's permission(许可). Entering a teacher's office or any office with a closed door without knocking first is not acceptable. Knock first, then wait to be invited in.
②Wearing a hat in class is considered impolite by many teachers. Some teachers may ignore(忽视) it, but you should ask permission first. 81. 在①处各填入一个单词使句子通顺：___________ __________
82. 将②处译成汉语： 83. 回答问题：What should a student do if he or she doesn't understand the teacher's
question?
84. 写此句的同义句： You mustn’t miss a test unless you are badly ill.. 85. 在短文中找出一句能概括短文意思的句子。
七、根据所给的首字母填写单词。（10分）
Everyone knows that exercise is important. We all need to exercise. Doctors say i 86 is good for us. It makes your heart and body s 87 . Children who often exercise are more alert(灵活的).This means they do better in tests and schoolwork than those who don't exercise.

She might seem like a characteristic girl in her films, but in real life, Korean star Jang Nara is very sweet! Some lucky Chinese fans got a chance to meet her last Friday.
They met Jang in Beijing. Though she turned 23 today, she celebrated her birthday early by having a small party with those fans. Jang really enjoyed her stay in China and said she liked Chinese food. Her favourite dish is the egg fried rice.
Jang still looks like a child and she just can’t stay quiet. Her dad is an actor and always encourages her. He even came to China with her. “I talk about almost everything with my dad! We are like old friends,” Jang said.
