In Britain, many theatres put on shows for children at Christmas and many theatres have a theatre-in-education team working there. This team, made up of actors and teachers, writes plays for children, usually performing them in schools. They do different plays for different age groups and the children often take part in the play in some way.

Pantomime is a special kind of Christmas show for children. It is loved by people and also allows the audience(观众)to join in. “Pantomime” was the name of the Roman actor who performed shows without speaking----this is where the English word “mime” comes from. A Pantomime is always based on a well-known children's story. But there are always certain types of characters in the show and certain situations and events. For example, a Pantomime must

always include a hero, known as the “principle boy” and this principle boy is always played by a pretty girl wearing a short costume. Then there is the comic older woman, known as the “dame” who is played by a man. There is always a group of men and women who sing and dance and often there is a Pantomime horse. The horse is played by two men who form the “front” and “back” ends inside a “horse” costume. It is funny and it usually kicks the dame when she isn't looking.

Members of the audience have to shout a warning to one of the characters and argue with the character (usually the dame) when she does not believe them. When she shouts, “Oh no, it isn’t,” the audience always responds with “Oh yes, it is!” The audience also learns and sings a simple song and a few children are sometimes invited to help one of the characters during the show. 21. The theatre-in-education teams_____________.

A. are made of famous local actors B. write plays for the same age group C. often give plays in their own theatres D. usually allow children to join in a play 22. According to the text, a Pantomime_____________.

A. is funny and educational B. is made up of three characters

C. is especially popular with grown-ups D. can be watched all year round in Britain 23. When the dame says, “Yes, it is”, the audience should _____________. A. follow her and sing B. stand up and dance C. repeat what she says D. disagree with her loudly

B

“One thing I enjoy about my job is that I can work on something that is actually active,” says Game McGimsey, an American volcanologist(火山学家). Part of his job includes keeping an eye on Alaska’s many active volcanoes and giving people a heads-up when a volcano might erupt(喷发).

Like most jobs in the science, volcanology requires a lot of education. McGimsey received an undergraduate degree in geology at the University of North Carolina, then landed an internship(实习期)with a geologist at the USGS(美国地质勘探局) whose work field was about volcanoes. After earning a graduate degree at the University of Colorado, McGimsey accepted a job with the USGS and has been with the Alaska Volcano Observatory for 25 years.

Volcanoes can influence the world in ways we might not think about. For example, on Dec.15

1989, a 747 jetliner(a large airplane) flew through a thick ash cloud produced by Mount Redoubt, an Alaskan volcano that hadn’t erupted in 25 years. The ash caused all four engines to die, and the plane’s electronics went dead.

“The plane was within several thousand feet of flying into the mountains below when the pilots got a couple of engines restarted and landed safely in Anchorage,” McGimsey says. It cost nearly $80 million to repair the damage to the plane.

Such situations show just how dangerous volcanoes can be. However, volcanologists know the risks and are prepared to protect themselves.

McGimsey admits, “There is certainly a higher danger level in volcanology than some other jobs. We understand how serious the danger is, and we don’t like taking unnecessary chances. We avoid getting too close to an erupting volcano, because it is not worth injury or death simply to get a rock or a photograph.”

24. Before working for the USGS, McGimsey _________. A. had been a pilot for 25 years B. knew nothing about the organization

C. had taught at the University of North Colorado D. had studied at the University of Colorado 25. On Dec. 15, 1989, a 747 jetliner__________.

A. had all its engines restarted B. flew into a volcano in Europe C. survived an air accident luckily D. disappeared in a huge ash cloud 26. What McGimsey says in the last paragraph shows his____.

A. pride B. carefulness C. loneliness D. doubt 27. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Game McGimsey: a man of his word B. Game McGimsey: a volcano watcher C. The eruption of Mt Redoubt D. Lost land of the volcano

C

Around one in a hundred deaths worldwide is due to passive smoking, which kills about 600,000 people a year, World Health Organization (WHO) researchers said on Friday.

In the first study to assess the global impact of second-hand smoke, WHO experts found that children are more heavily exposed to second-hand smoke than any other age-group, and around

165,000 of them a year die because of it.

\"Two-thirds of these deaths occur in Africa and south Asia,\" the researchers, led by Annette Pruss-Ustun of the WHO in Geneva, wrote in their study.

Children's exposure to second-hand smoke is most likely to happen at home, and the double effect of infectious diseases (传染性疾病) and tobacco \"seems to be a deadly causes for children in these regions,\" they said.

While deaths due to passive smoking in children were more likely to happen in poor and middle-income countries, deaths in adults were spread across countries at all income levels. In Europe's high-income countries, only 71 child deaths occurred, while 35,388 deaths were in adults. Yet in the countries assessed in Africa, about 43,375 deaths due to passive smoking were in children compared with 9,514 in adults.

Pruss-Ustun urged countries to enforce the WHO's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which includes higher tobacco taxes (税收), and advertising bans, among other steps.

\"Policy-makers should bear in mind that enforcing complete smoke-free laws will probably reduce the number of deaths due to exposure to second-hand smoke within the first year of its implementation(执行), with accompanying reduction in costs of illness in social and health systems,\" she wrote.

Only 7.4 percent of the world population currently lives in areas with comprehensive smoke-free laws, and those laws are not always strongly enforced.

In places where there are smoke-free rules, research shows that exposure to second hand smoke in high-risk places like bars and restaurants can be cut by 90 percent, and in general by 60 percent, the researchers said. Studies also show such laws help to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked by smokers and lead to higher success rates in those trying to quit.

28. Where do children most likely suffer the exposure to second-hand smoke? A. In their schools. B. In their homes.

C. In bars and restaurants. D. In disease-infected areas.

29. Apart from passive smoking, what is also responsible for the high death rate of African and South Asian children?

A. Long-term starvation B. Active smoking C. Poor parental care D. Infectious diseases

30. According to the passage, death in children due to passive smoking _____. A. is partly attributable to their active use of tobacco. B. is similar in countries at all income levels C. is controlled in some South Asian countries D. is low in high-income countries.

31. In the last few paragraphs, the author implies that smoke-free laws _____. A. have worked reasonably well so far. B. leave much to be expected. C. should be enforced strongly D. should be made carefully.

D

Like many people, I’ve always seen the Olympics as the “main” sporting event held every four years —the headline act— and the Paralympics(残奥会) as something of an “add-on” — the supporting act. If you are not disabled it is hard to understand some of the games and the athletes movement problems.

But being in the host city for these Paralympics changed my views. I came to realize these athletes were nothing short of superheroes. Lacking physical abilities that able-bodied people take for granted, they made up for them and then some. They tested their physical ability to extremes that the Bolts and Phelpses of this world never have to.

If some Olympics runners had to be double-amputated (双侧截肢) , I wonder if they would tie two carbon fiber blades (碳纤维刀片) to their knees like Oscar Pistorius, also known as Blade Runner, of South Africa, and relearn everything that once came naturally.

If some Olympic swimming heroes suddenly went blind, would they have the courage to still swim fast through the water, not knowing when they would reach the end of the pool? Would any of us be brave to face a life-changing experience like a car crash? And not only get our lives back on track but then try to be the best at a sport?

“What Paralympic sport would you do if you were disabled? ” was a question I posed today. It’s not something you would normally think about. You don’t watch TV as a kid dreaming to be a Paralympician. But it takes more than early mornings, training programs and special diets to get to the Paralympics. It takes a tragedy or loss that will have been worked through and overcome. Skiing is terrifying enough if you have all your faculties. Standing at the top of a ski slope, it’s a war of wills for most people to start, but Canada’s Donovan Tildesley, who has been blind from

birth, revealed to a China Daily reporter that not only did he already ski, but he also wanted to take it up competitively.

Superheroes indeed, each and every one. The Paralympics should be renamed the “Superlympics”. It’s nothing to do with the equality denoted by the Greek “para”, it’s about “super” ability, courage and strength that most of us, the top able-bodied athletes of the world included, will never have to .

It’s worth remembering that many Paralympics suffered horrific injuries while living life to the full. You don’t get paralyzed (瘫痪的 ) sitting at home playing video games. And having lived life to the full they are not prepared to stop. That’s we talked about “Paralympic spirit”

I only hope that if life dealt me or my loved one, we would handle them in the same way as these outstanding men and women.

32. What does the author think of Paralympics athletes?

A. They are more than heroes. B. They are unsung heroes. C. They are second only to superheroes. D. They are able-bodied superheroes. 33. By saying “… and then some”(para.2), the author means that _____. A. Paralympic athletes made up for some physical abilities

B. Not all Paralympic athletes were able to make up for physical abilities C. There are some abilities that diabled athletes cannot make up for. D. There are some other abilities besides what has been made up for. 34. What does the author imply in Paragraphs 3 and 4?

A. Some Olympic stars will turn into Paralympic competitors when disabled. B. Olympic stars’ career will come to a natural end when they are disabled C. It should be braver to be Paralympic athletes than Olympic athletes. D. It is anybody’s guess whether Olympic stars will try to be the best at sports. 35. According to the author, what should be learned from Paralympic athletes? A. Overcoming their physical disabilities B. Refusing to face what they suffer C. Playing video games to live life to the full D. Working their way through sporting competitions. 第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Today, we tell about the expression apple-pie order. It means in perfect order, very well organized. 36 Some say that Scottish and English writers use the expression a long time ago. Others say it was first used in the northeastern American state—New England. 37 Then they filled pie pans with them in an organized way — row upon row. This perhaps explains why it’s believed to begin in New England.

Another old expression describes the opposite condition — chaos. That expression is apple of discord(不和). It comes from ancient mythology(神话). It says that all the gods and goddesses were celebrating the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the gods, Discord, a troublemaker, threw a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. It was not an easy decision to make. 38 He decided to give it to Venus. Juno and Minerva were very angry and threatened him. This, the myth says, began the Trojan War.

At one time the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. 39 In the sixteenth century, Spain imported tomato form south America. Spain then exported tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it onto Italy. The Italian name for tomato was pomo de Mauro, apple of the Moores. When French growers imported it from Italy, they thought de Mauro meant d’amour, the French word for love, and so pomme d’amour became the apple of love.

40 One belief is that it has great powers of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Another belief is based on fact: one rotten apple spoils the barrel. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act bad.

A. Everyone present had the right to vote. B. This is how the mistake happened.

C. People believe many things about the apple. D. There are also many stories about the apple. E. Paris was given the task of deciding.

F. The housewives there cut their apples in even slices. G. Nobody is sure where and when the expression began.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have genetic(基因的) defects(缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 41 !” You’ve surely heard them.

For my strong points, I 50 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” For the 51 , I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills. ”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 52 and told him about my 53 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 54 is it that you can solve 55 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve easy mechanical problems?” Suddenly I realized that I didn't 56 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 57 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 58 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 59 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have genetic defects that we can never get over, we can do well in almost 60 we choose. 41 A.away

May I have your attention, please? Today I’m supposing to say something about students watch TV. As we know, in our daily lives, TV plays an important part. It is quicker and more convenient to get information from TV as from newspapers. Providing us with vividly and lively pictures, TV enables us not only to see what was happening in the world but also to learn many things, including foreign languages. However, it is not reasonable to forbid students watch such programs. But watching TV for too long is not good. Sitting in the front of TV all day does harm to our eyes and wastes our time on study. So you should take a right attitude towards it. Thank you for your listening.
