Born in 1928,   小题3:  sweet-faced, curly-haired Temple was   小题4:  of the most popular child stars in Hollywood history, getting her first film role at the age of three.
Her singing, dancing and acting won over fans worldwide. She was given a special teenage Oscar in 1935,   小题5:  she was just six years old. To this day, she is still the   小题6:  person to receive an Academy Award because nobody else got it at such a young age.

小题1:as/when
小题2:from / of
小题3:the
小题4:one
小题5:when
小题6:youngest
小题7:it
小题8:and

试题分析:本文主要讲奥斯卡金像奖最年轻的的获得者,童星秀兰.邓波儿的生平历程。
小题1:as/when。在19世纪30年代,这个女演员在电影想“起立欢呼”,“亮眼睛”,“卷头发”中作为一个小女孩儿变得出名。
小题2:from / of 。die from / of :死于... 她死于自然因素。
小题3:the。特指面容甜美的卷发Temple这个人,故用定冠词the。
小题4:one。one of +n.:是...中的一个。Temple是好莱坞历史上最有名的童星之一。
小题5:when。她在1935年获得特殊青少年奥斯卡奖,当年她只有六岁大。先行词为1935,故用when引导非限制性定语从句。
小题6:youngest。直到今天,她仍然是奥斯卡金像奖年龄最小的获得者,因为没有其他人在这么小的年龄获得过。与其他任何人相比,她是年龄最小的,句意中存在比较含义,故用比较级。
小题7:it。Find it+adj/adv+to do sth.发现做某事很....她发现在成年期很难维持她的事业,于是在1950退出了好莱坞。从后文的retired from Hollywood in 1950可知维持她的事业是困难的。
小题8:and。根据句意可知found it hard to maintain her career in adulthood和retired from Hollywood in 1950是并列关系,所以填and.

Zebras have their own bug repellent(驱虫剂)?
Eww bugs! They are so annoying! We humans are lucky that we can apply repellents to avoid nasty bites. But what’s an animal to do? They have no choice but to spend their days shooing them off with their tails, unless, of course, they are zebras, who apparently have their own automatic repellent--- their striped skin!
Scientists had originally thought that the reason why the animal had developed the black and white lines was to help protect itself from predators in the African savannah, because the stripes make it difficult to single out one zebra that is traveling with a herd.While that may be true, the theory has never been tested or proven. Now the experts have another---that the stripes have evolved to repel the annoying horse flies that not only feed off their blood, but also, transmit dangerous germs into the bodies of these innocent animals.
The study was performed by a team of Swedish scientists. One of the clues that got them thinking along these lines was the fact that darker horses got bitten more often than light-colored or white ones.
The fact that zebras are born black and only develop strips as they grow older made the scientists theorize that the stripes may be something the animals have developed to make themselves less attractive to flies.
To test if this may be the case, they painted some boards at a horse-infested horse farm in Budapest with patterns of black and white stripes of varying widths and applied a layer of glue on them. What they noticed was that the places where the black and white stripes were at their narrowest (similar to what zebras have) attracted the fewest flies. They achieved similar results when they painted horses with black and white zebra-like stripes.
While the research are not sure why this may be the case, they believe it may be something to do with the way insects operate---horseflies are attracted to horizontally polarized light(偏振光); since white does not reflect it, white horses are luckier than black ones. But zebras seem to be the luckiest of all. When the researchers measured the polarized light reflected from real zebra skins, they found that it matched light patterns that were the least attractive to horseflies.
While this theory does make logical sense, nobody is 100 percent sure that it is really true, given that it has never been tested on a real zebra. If it is true, it does raise the question of why a horse, a close relative of the zebra has failed to develop stripes. The researchers believe that this could be because there are more horseflies in Africa, where zebras reside, then anywhere else in the world.

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个恰当的单词。
How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.
Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.
What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats, and more American men followed his example.
There is also a cyclical(周期性的) pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War II, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter until the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.
Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.
At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater, and it would be discourteous(失礼的) to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either!
Fashion Change
People’s attitude towards fashion
In our life, teenagers or people in their early twenties care more about their小题1: ___.
Ordinary people just follow the trends of fashion passively.
小题2:that fashion has on people
People are able to feel more小题3:  or less embarrassed if they dress themselves fashionably.
People are constantly under 小题4:__to keep up with the fashion.
Causes of fashion changing
Sometimes a fashion can be小题5:  _ due to convenience or practical necessity, or just because of the fancy of an influential person.
Cyclical 小题6:in fashion
Some old小题7: may become popular again after a certain period of time.
Fashion today
People are free to dress or do their hair according to their小题8: instead of going after popularity.
Writer’s attitude
People must小题9:properly on some occasions and always 小题10: delighted even if you don’t look fashionable.

A few things to do during weekends to improve your life
Weekend at last! Something you’re so looking forward to after a tiring week at work. Here are several tips on how to make the most of your weekends.
Spend time with loved ones. Reconnect with family members or friends you neglected(疏忽) lately. Don’t do it out of guilt or because you have to. Do it because you want to.
