Michael J. “Crocodile Dundee” (also called Mick), played by Paul Hogan, is the main character in the fictional Crocodile Dundee film series consisting of Crocodile Dundee, Crocodile Dundee II, and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. The character is a crocodile hunter, hence the nickname.
In the first film, Crocodile Dundee, Mick is visited by a New York reporter, Sue Charlton, who travels to Australia to investigate a report she heard of a crocodile hunter, who had his leg bitten off by a crocodile in the outback. The hunter supposedly walked more than a hundred miles back to civilization and miraculously survived his injuries. However, by the time she meets him, the story turns out to be a somewhat exaggerated legend where the “bitten-off leg” turns out to be just being some bad scarring on his leg; a “love bite” as Mick calls it. Still interested by the idea of “Crocodile Dundee”, Sue continues with the story. They travel together out to where the incident occurred, and follow his route through the bush to the nearest hospital. Despite his old-fashioned views, the pair eventually become close, especially after Mick saves Sue from a crocodile attack.
Feeling there is still more to the story, Sue invites Mick back to New York with her, as his first trip to a city (or “first trip anywhere,” as Dundee says). The rest of the film depicts Dundee as a “fish out of water,” showing how, despite his expert knowledge of living outdoors, he knows little of city life. Mick meets Sue’s boyfriend, Richard, but they do not get along. By the end of the film, Mick is on his way home, lovesick, when Sue realizes she loves Mick, too, and not Richard. She runs to the subway station to stop Mick from leaving and, by passing on messages through the packed-to-the-gills crowd, she tells him she won’t marry Richard, and she loves him instead. With the help of the other people in the subway, Mick and Sue have a loving reunion as the film ends.
1.Which of the following statements is true about Mick?
A. He is a crocodile hunter living in Los Angeles.
B. He is based on a real person in Australia.
C. He got his nickname because of his job.
D. He wrote a film series about himself.
2.In the film Crocodile Dundee, Mick ______.
A. pretends he was bitten by a crocodile
B. urges Sue Charlton to write his life story
C. hasn’t been abroad before his trip to America
D. shows Sue Charlton around the town he lives in
3.When in New York, Mick ______.
A. makes friends with Richard
B. makes full use of his bush skills
C. feels excited about living in a big city
D. doesn’t know how to fit into city life
4.The film Crocodile Dundee can be best described as ______.
A. a romantic story B. an action movie
C. a science fiction D. a frightening story

In today’s society , language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary, and also their non-verbal (非语言的) vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.
Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it.
Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Men’s body language is much more reserved when talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other people’s body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.
Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral. After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”? The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex, “I wonder if there’s something there?” would no longer exist.
1.What does the underlined word “this”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The differences between men’s and women’s languages.
B. The different speed of men’s and women’s speech.
C. The ability of men’s and women’s spoken language.
D. The non-verbal vocabulary of men and women.
2.In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph?
A. Speed of understanding.
B. Understanding of speech roles.
C. Politeness of communication.
D. Application of body language.
3.What is the author’s attitude to the differences between men’s and women’s communication?
A. Cautious.
B. Favorable.
C. Ambiguous.
D. Skeptical.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A. Women , born excellent talkers
B. Men’s and women’s social roles
C. Vocabulary and communication
D. Opposite gender, different language

A great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85
February 12, 2014
BY DERRIK J. LANG, Associated Press
Shirley Temple Black, who died on February 10th at age 85, wasn’t just a child star. She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.
It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment.
In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured (保证) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes—even a drink (alcohol-free, of course).
US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.’’
Unlike so many of today’s child stars, Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (外交), including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.
She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.
1.The word “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______.
A. shorten B. sweeten
C. strengthen D. brighten
2.Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as _______.
A. sweet and lively B. gentle and kind
C. smart and knowledgeable D. shy and attractive
3.What part did she regard as the most important in her life?
A. A top movie star. B. A businesswoman.
C. Her family role. D. Her diplomacy career.
4.Where does this passage possibly come from?
A. A biography. B. A newspaper.
C. A magazine. D. A poster.
