However, a terrible earthquake hit her hometown, Yaan, Sichuan on April 20.Yang ran to the playground. She was safe. But all her study materials were buried (被埋) in the classroom. A university in Chengdu lent a helping hand. Now Yang and her classmates are studying there.The earthquake killed at least 196 and injured more than 12,000. Soldiers and experts arrived at the quake zone (震區(qū)) immediately. They helped rescue people and rebuild homes. Tens of thousands of people have donated money and materials to help.There is little we can do to stop natural disasters such as earthquakes from happening. But we can try to make ourselves better prepared for these disasters.Japan is considered to be one of the best countries at dealing with earthquakes. From a young age, the Japanese are taught how to keep safe in earthquakes. Schools in Japan often take earthquake drills (演練).Almost every Japanese family has a survival kit (救生包), which has a flashlight, a radio, water and enough food for several days. This helps people to stay alive after an earthquake.What can we do when an earthquake happens? Some methods can reduce the harm they cause. The American Red Cross introduced the “Drop, Cover & Hold on” method.*Drop down onto your hands and knees. This position protects you from falling.*Cover your head and neck under a strong table or desk. If there is no shelter nearby, you can also stay along a wall, and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.*Hold on to your shelter until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking shifts it around.( )31. We can tell from the first two paragraphs that _.A. an earthquake hit Yangs hometownB.

It was in 1889 that both moving pictures and Charlie Chaplin were born. Sadly, Charlies father died when Charlie was five, and his mother was sent to mental (精神的) hospital. This left young Chaplin homeless and living on the streets.Things seemed bad for Charlie, but he had a bright, nice character. He was pleasant and easy to like. So he managed to get small parts in performances around London. Then, he moved to the USA in 1906, and his life took a major change for the better. He got a part in a show performing there. Seven years after his arrival in the USA, he got his first major part in a film. Charlie was a great success in the movie theaters. His silent, highly visual (視覺(jué)的) form of comedy was perfect for the silent films of the time. By 1915, he was making over $1,250 a week, which was a huge amount of money at that time. Charlie knew what he was good at, and he stuck to it. Even when sound could be used for movies in 1923, he continued to make silent pictures. Charlie knew that the silence was an essential part of what made his movies so funny. Charlie continued to make silent films well into the 1940s, when almost everyone else had changed to sound. Charlie, however, still remained one of the worlds greatest film stars.( )34. When did Charlie get his first major part in a film? A. In 1889.B. In 1906.C. In 1913. D. In 1923.( )35. The underlined word “essential” in Paragraph 2 probably means _. A. very boringB. very correctC. very difficultD. very important( )36. From the passage we know that Charlie _. A. was easy to get along withB. stopped making movies in 1923 C. was born and brought up in AmericaD. didnt produce silent films in America( )37. Which could be the best title of the passage? A. A Great Man of Silent Movies.B. The Major Change for an Actor. C. The Beginning of Silent Movies.D. The Hard Life for A Movie Maker.DHave you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists (靈學(xué)家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理學(xué)家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared(盯著) at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受試者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they werent. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they werent. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when theyre being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”（ ）38. The aim of the two experiments is to_.A. explain when people can have a sixth senseB. show how people act while being watched in the labC. study whether humans can sense when they are stared atD. prove why humans have a sixth sense（ ）39. The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means_.A. value B. result C. performance D. connection（ ）40. What can be learned from the passage?A. People are born with a sixth sense.B. The experiments support parapsychologists idea.C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.D. People have a sixth sense in all places.第卷 (非選擇題 共45分)四、詞匯（每小題1分，共15分）A) 請(qǐng)根據(jù)句意、音標(biāo)或括號(hào)中的中文提示、英文釋義，寫(xiě)出句中所缺單詞，使句子通順。41.
