comedy movies became famous Then in the 1920s came another trend of animated cartoons They were the most popular Hollywood comedy movies of the time The several popular characters of that era were Felix the cat Krazy Kat and Betty Boop However the popularity of these movies was blocked out due to lack of sound and color The end of 1920s the Hollywood comedy industry marked a change brought about by the introduction of sound into the movies This has allowed the industry to create dramatic new film styles and use verbal humor These films were soon replacing silent movies These films used dialogue of comedians such as the W C Fields and the Marx Brothers Charlie Chaplin was the last comedian to have acted in the silent films When the United States entered into World War II Hollywood movies changed its course to themes related to the conflicts and Hollywood comedy movies described more on military themes The war time experienced a boom where restrictions on the traveling made nearly a quarter of the money spent on attending movies In the 1950s the interest shifted where the TV became popular During this time the release of Hollywood comedy films declined 衰落 The 1960s saw an increasing number of broad star packed comedies In 1970 Hollywood comedy movies reflected the anti war sentiment which was popular then In the 1980s the gag 笑料 based comedy Airplane was released

1970s Hollywood comedies is A domestic violence B desire for freedom C protests against wars D oversea military activities 58 What does this passage mainly talk about A Development of Hollywood comedy movies B Famous comedians in Hollywood history C Outstanding comedies made in Hollywood D Chaplin s contribution to comedies 59 Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to the Hollywood comedy movies a Hollywood comedy movies focused on family audience b Fewer and fewer Hollywood comedy films were released c Animated cartoons of Hollywood comedy movies were popular d

the colour of the water in a river or stream after a heavy rainfall What do you think caused this change in colour It is soil that has been washed into the river from the riverbank or from the nearby fields ComponentsComponents ofof SoilSoil Soil is made up of a number of layers each having its own distinctive colour and texture The upper layer is known as the litter It acts like a blanket limiting temperature changes and reducing water loss The topsoil layer is made up of small particles of rock mixed with rotten plant and animal matter called humus 腐殖质 which is black and gives the topsoil its dark colour This layer is usually rich in nutrients oxygen and water Below the topsoil is the subsoil a layer that contains more stones mixed with only small amounts of organic matter This layer is lighter in colour because of the lack of humus Beneath the soil lies a layer of bedrock Soil forms from the bottom up Over time bedrock is attacked by rain wind frost and snow It is gradually broken down into smaller particles in a process called weathering Plants begin to grow and rotten materials enrich the topsoil Most of the soil in Eastern Canada for example was formed from weathered rock that was exposed when the ice disappeared 12 000 years ago WaterWater BeneathBeneath thethe SoilSoil Surface water collects and flows above the ground in lakes ponds and rivers Once in the soil or rock it is called groundwater Gravity pulls groundwater through the soil in a process called percolation 渗透 Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table Under this is bedrock through which water cannot percolate As water percolates downward it dissolves organic matter and minerals from the soil and carries them to deeper layers This causes a serious problem because plants require these nutrients for growth SoilSoil pHpH Soil can be acidic neutral or basic The pH of the soil is determined by the nature of the rock from which it was formed and by the nature of the plants that grow and rot in it The acidity of rain and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil By burning fossil fuels such as coal oil and gasoline humans have been contributing to higher levels of acidity in many soils When fossil fuels are burned gases are released into the air and then fall back to earth as acid rain Acid soil increases the problem of carrying nutrients to lower soil levels As nutrients are removed soil is less fertile Plants grow more slowly in acidic soil and also become easily attacked by diseases 60 The layer of soil that provides necessary nutrients for plant growth is called A litter B subsoil C humus D topsoil 61 The underlined word dissolve is used to express the idea that organic matter and minerals from soil are A rushed away into the river B mixed with water and become part of it C destroyed and carried away by water D cleaned and purified by water 62 According to the text which of the following is NOT true A Soil forms from weathered rock on the earth surface B Air pollution is partially responsible for acid soil C The deeper layer of soil is darker in colour than the surface soil D Groundwater tends to carry away nutrients for plant growth 63 We can infer from the passage that the water table lies A between the subsoil layer and bedrock B in the subsoil layer above bedrock C between the topsoil layer and the subsoil layer D in the bedrock layer beneath the subsoil C It is the women who have only themselves to blame though they are mercilessly exploited 剥 削 year after year Because they tremble at the thought of being seem in public in clothes that are out of fashion they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion When you come to think of it only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have Skirts are lengthened or shortened neck lines are lowered or raised and so on No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth comfort and durability 耐用 They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort as long as they look right There can hardly be a man who hasn t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion the conclusions to be drawn are obvious Do the constantly changing fashions of women s clothes one wonders reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability That is for you to decide 64 Designers and big stores always make money A by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry B by constantly changing the fashions in women s clothing C because they are capable of predicting new fashions D because they attach great importance to quality in women s clothing 65 The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the of clothing A costB appearance C suitability D comfort 66 According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE A The constant changes in women s clothing reflect their strength of character B New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women C The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society D Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women 67 By saying the conclusion to be drawn are obvious Para 4 Line 1 2 the writer means that A men are more stable and reliable in character B men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers C women s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at D women are better able to put up with discomfort D History is rich with eureka moments scientists from Archimedes to Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are said to have had flashes of inspiration while thinking about other things But the mechanisms 机理 behind this psychological phenomenon have remained unclear A study now suggests that simply taking a break does not bring on inspiration rather creativity is fostered by tasks that allow the mind to wander The discovery was made by a team led by Benjamin Baird and Jonathan Schooler psychologists at the University of California Santa Barbara The researchers presented 145 undergraduate students with two unusual uses tasks that gave them two minutes to list as many uses as possible for everyday objects such as toothpicks clothes hangers and bricks After the two minutes were over participants were given a 12 minute break during which they rested undertook a demanding memory activity that required their full attention or engaged in an undemanding reaction time activity known to elicit mind wandering A fourth group of students had no break All participants were then given four unusual uses tasks including the two that they had completed earlier Those students who had done the undemanding activity performed an average of 41 better at the repeated tasks the second time they tried them By contrast students in the other three groups showed no improvement We ve traditionally found that rapid eye movement sleep grants creative insight That allowing the mind to wander does the same is absolutely fascin
