Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrance of London Theatre.He looked thin and hungry.He was hoping to get work in show business.He could sing and dance；above all，he knew how to make people laugh.But he couldn't get work and so he wandered about the city streets.Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.But twenty years later this name Chaplin became the greatest，bestknown，and bestloved comedian in the world.Any visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Chaplin's filmstrips(膠片).People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces.Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films though most of them are silent.It isn't what he says that makes us laugh.His comedy doesn't depend upon words and languages.It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world.Acting out，without words，common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries.It's a kind of world language.Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day，1977，at the age of eightyeight.The world was astonished at the news of the death and burst into sadness.1Why was young Chaplin waiting outside the back entrance of the theatre？_C_ ABecause he had no money to buy a ticket.BBecause he wanted to get a returned ticket.CBecause he wanted to play a part in a play in order to make a living.DBecause he wanted to see the famous actors or actresses after the performance.解析：推理判斷題。從第一段中的hungry一詞及hoping to get work in show business可判斷出。2It was _D_ that made people enjoy his films.Awonderful dialoguesBthe beautiful musicChis funny appearanceDhis own manner of acting解析：推理判斷題。由第二段中的倒數(shù)第三句：表演一些對于全世界人來說相同的小事可知答案選D。3The reason why Chaplin is regarded as king of comedy is that _D_.Amost of his films were silentBhe knew how to make people laughChe could not only act but also write comediesDhe acted out the common human situations best in his comedy解析：推理判斷題。從第二段的最后兩句可知無聲的表演在喜劇中扮演重要角色，卓別林也因此被認為是喜劇之王。4What's the best title for this passage？_A_ ACharlie Chaplin，a Famous Humorous ActorBCharlie Chaplin，a WorkerCCharlie Chaplin，a Small BoyDCharlie Chaplin，a Director解析：主旨大意題。本文主要說明了卓別林作為滑稽演員的成就。B、C和D太片面。B(2018·廣西河池中學高一下學期月考試題)J.K.Rowling is the writer of

little furry friend will always live in our memories.Like all of us，though，your puppy must have adequate nutrition right from the start to make certain that it'll have a long and healthy life.1_B_ You might ask yourself what is the best for your new pet with all of the different varieties on the market in all of their attractive packaging.Some dry food produced specially for puppies is the best for the development of their teeth.2._E_ Contraty to the belief of many firsttime puppy owners，it is not always the best idea to purchase food that is too high in calcium(鈣)，protein，and vitamin levels.3._F_ In addition，a high intake of calcium is associated with bone disease in largebreed dogs.If you have a “smallbreed” puppy，you can buy that kind of food.It is not a good idea to feed the food you eat to your puppy frequently，as your puppy may become selective about food.4_D_ Some people think that dog biscuits and other treats are fine，but they should not be a main part of a puppy's diet.Young puppies should be fed three times a day.Each puppy is unique，so feeding them twice a day is acceptable.After ten to twelve weeks of age，feed your puppy twice per day.Allow your puppy to eat as much as he would like in fifteen minutes.5._A_ If you let your puppy eat too much or too often by keeping food accessible at all times，he may become overweight and have health problems as an adult.Like humans，your puppy will not enjoy the food any longer if it is there at all times.APick up the dish with the remaining food.BProper food is a basic necessity for your puppies.CRemember to give your puppy the food he would like to have.DIt can also cause an upset stomach due to an unbalanced diet.EA further benefit is that it is less expensive than the canned food.FOne example is that extra helpings of nutrients do harm to digestive organs.GIt's good to provide the extra nutrients a puppy needs until he grows larger.文章大意：本文介紹了如何給寵物合理的飲食。1解析：根據(jù)下文中You might ask yourself what is
