阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、
C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸
上将该项涂黑。
A
I am
an active playgoer and play-reader,and perhaps my
best reason for editing this book is a
hope of
sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others.
To do this I have searched through
dozens of
plays to find the ones that I think best show the
power and purpose of the short play.
Each
play has a theme or central idea which the
playwright(剧作家)hopes to get across
through
dialogue and action. A few characters are used to
create a single impression growing out
of the
theme. It is not my intention to point out the
central theme of each of the plays in this
collection,for that would,indeed,ruin the
pleasure of reading,discussing,and thinking about
the plays and the effectiveness of the
playwright. However,a variety of types is
represented here.
These include
comedy,satire,poignant drama,historical and
regional drama. To show the
versatility(多面性)of
the short play,I have included a guidance play,a
radio play and a television
play.
Among
the writers of the plays in this collection,Paul
Green,Susan Glaspell,Maxwell
Anderson,Thornton
Wilder,William Saroyan,and Tennessee Williams have
all received Pulitzer
Prizes for their
contributions to the theater. More information
about the playwrights will be found
at the end
of this book.
To get the most out of reading
these plays,try to picture the play on stage,with
you,the
reader,in the audience. The
houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to
open,and in a few
minutes the action and
dialogue will tell you the story.
21. What do
we know about the author from the first paragraph?
( )
A. He has written dozens of plays.
B. He has a deep love for the theater.
C. He
is a professional stage actor. D. He likes
reading short plays to others.
22. What does
the author avoid doing in his work? ( )
A.
Stating the plays' central ideas. B. Selecting
works by famous playwrights.
C. Including
various types of plays. D. Offering information
on the playwrights.
23. What does the author
suggest readers do while reading the plays? ( )
A. Control their feelings. B. Apply their
acting skills.
C. Use their imagination.
D. Keep their audience in mind.
24. What is
this text? ( )
A. A short story. B. An
introduction to a book.
C. A play review.
D. An advertisement for a theater.
B
The
traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in
Bellevue,Washington,generally don't flash
the
same length of green twice in a row,especially at
rush hour. At9:30am,the full
redyellowgreen
signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:33am,a
burst of additional traffic
might push it to
145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:37am could push it
down to 135. Just like the traffic
itself,the
timing of the signals changes.
That is by
design. Bellevue,a fast-growing city,just east of
Seattle,uses a system that is
gaining
popularity around the US:intersection(十字路口)signals
that can adjust in real time to
traffic
conditions. These lights,known as adaptive
signals,have led to significant declines in both
the trouble and cost of travels between work
and home.
“Adaptive signals can make sure
that the traffic demand that is there is being
addressed,”
says Alex Stevanovic,a researcher
at Florida Atlantic University.
For all of
Bellevue's success,adaptive signals are not a
cure-all for jammed roadways. Kevin
Balke,a
research engineer at the Texas A&M University
Transportation Institute,says that while
smart
lights can be particularly beneficial for some
cities,others are so jammed that only a sharp
reduction in the number of cars on the road
will make a meaningful difference. “It's not going
to
fix everything, but adaptive signals
have some benefits for smaller cities,” he says.
In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals
has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new
approaches. In the past, there was often an
automatic reaction to increased traffic: just
widen the
roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue
Transportation Department's traffic engineering
manager.
Now he hopes that other cities will
consider making their streets run smarter instead
of just
making them bigger.
25. What does
the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer
to? ( )
A. Increased length of green
lights. B. Shortened traffic signal cycle.
C. Flexible timing of traffic signals. D.
Smooth traffic flow on the road.
26. What
does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals? (
)
A. ' They work better on broad roads.
B. They should be used in other cities.
C. They have greatly reduced traffic on the
road.
D. They are less helpful in cities
seriously jammed.
27. What can we learn from
Bellevue's success? ( )
A. It is rewarding
to try new things. B. The old methods still
work today.
C. I pays to put theory into
practice. D. The simplest way is the best way.
C
Challenging work that requires lots of
analytical thinking,planning and other managerial
skills might help your brain stay sharp as you
age,a study published Wednesday in the journal
Neurology suggests.
Researchers from the
University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more
than 1,000 retired
workers who were over age
75 and assessed the volunteers' memory and
thinking skills through a
battery of tests.
Then,for eight years,the scientists asked the same
group to come back to the lab
every 18 months
to take the same sorts of tests.
Those who
had held mentally stimulating(刺激),demanding jobs
before retirement tended to
do the best on the
tests. And they tended to lose
cognitive(认知)function at a much slower rate
than those with the least mentally challenging
jobs. The results held true even after the
scientists
accounted for the participants'
overall health status.
“This works just like
physical exercise,” says Francisca Then,who led
the study. “After a
long run,you may
feel like you're in pain,you may feel tired. But
it makes you fit. After a long
day at work-
sure,you will feel tired,but it can help your
brain stay healthy. ”
It's not just corporate
jobs,or even paid work that can help keep your
brain fit,Then points
out. A waiter's job,for
example,that requires multitasking,teamwork and
decision-making could
be just as stimulating
as any high-level office work. And “running a
family household requires
high-level planning
and coordinating(协调),” she says. “You have to
organize the activities of
the children and
take care of the bills and groceries.
Of
course,our brains can decline as we grow older for
lots of reasons-including other
environmental
influences or genetic factors. Still,continuing to
challenge yourself mentally and
keeping your
mind busy can only help.
28. Why did the
scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests? (
)
A. To assess their health status. B. To
evaluate their work habits.
C. To analyze
their personality. D. To measure their mental
ability.
29. How does Francisca Then explain
her findings in paragraph 4? ( )
A. By
using an expert's words. B. By making a
comparison.
C. By referring to another study.
D. By introducing a concept.
30. Which of the
following is the best title for the text? ( )
A. Retired Workers Can Pick Up New Skills
B. Old People Should Take Challenging Jobs
C. Your Tough Job Might Help Keep You Sharp
D. Cognitive Function May Decline As You Age

I experienced years of loneliness as a child.
31 His friends teased him about babysitting
his sister and his interests were far
different from mine. With no other kids of my age
in the
neighborhood,I had to spend hours by
myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be
reading. My love of the written word began early
as my
mother read to me every evening. 32
I started reading books on my own before age 5 and
my mother took me to the public library once a
week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated
from typical children's books to ones
with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading
opened
new worlds to me. 33 .
My
mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I
tried making toy cars with
cardboard boxes and
constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and
bits of wood my father
gave me. When my mother
saw my creations,she told me how creative my
designs were. 34
I learned a lot about how
to extend the life of objects and transform them
into something new and
useful. It was a
trait(特点)others found helpful,and I soon had
friends who wanted to make
things with me.
35 My parents made it a point for their two
kids to spend time outside,no matter the
weather or season. My brother,of course,raced
off to be with his friends,while I had plenty to
do
myself. There was making leaf houses in
autumn,ice skating in winter,and so much more.
They're all memories I treasure today.
A.
I wasn't alone any longer.
B. I enjoyed
reading stories aloud.
C. I was invited to
play with another kid.
D. I loved the
colorful photographs in the books.
E. Another
habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F.
Thus,I began my lifelong interest in making
things.
G. My older brother couldn't be
bothered to play with me.

Some
time after 10,000 BC,people made the first real
attempt to control the world they lived
56
,through agriculture. Over thousands of years,they
began to depend less on 57 could
be hunted
or gathered from the wild,and more on animals they
had raised and crops they had
sown.
Farming produced more food per person 58
hunting and gathering,so people were able
to
raise more children. And,as more children were
born,more food 59 (need). Agriculture
gave
people their first experience of the power of
technology 60 (change)lives.
By about 6000
BC,people 61 (discover)the best crops to grow
and animals to raise.
Later,they learned to
work with the 62 (season),planting at the
right time and,in dry areas,
63 (make)use
of annual floods to irrigate(灌溉)their fields.
This style of farming lasted for quite a long
time. Then,with 64 rise of science,
changes
began. New methods 65 (mean)that fewer people
worked in farming. In the last
century or
so,these changes have accelerated. New power
machinery and artificial fertilizers(化

now totally transformed a way,of life that started
in the Stone Age.

One fall,my wife Elli and I had a single
goal:to photograph polar bears. We were staying at
a research camp outside “the polar bear
capital of the world”-the town of Churchill in
Manitoba,
Canada.
Taking pictures of polar
bears is amazing but also dangerous. Polar bears-
like all wild
animals-should be
photographed from a safe distance. When I'm face
to face with a polar bear,I
like it to be
through a camera with a telephoto lens. But
sometimes,that is easier said than done.
This
was one of those times.
As Elli and I cooked
dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in
a nearby lake
sniffed,and smelled our garlic
bread.
The hungry bear followed his nose to
our camp,which was surrounded by a high wire
fence.
He pulled and bit the wire. He stood on
his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence
posts.
Terrified,Elli and I tried all the
bear defense actions we knew. We yelled at the
bear,hit pots
hard,and fired blank shotgun
shells into the air. Sometimes loud noises like
these will scare bears
off. Not this polar
bear though-he just kept trying to tear down the
fence with his massive paws
(爪子).
1
radioed the camp manager for help. He told me a
helicopter was on its way,but it would be
30
minutes before it arrived. Making the best of this
close encounter(相遇),I took some pictures
of
the bear.
Elli and I feared the fence
wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the
bear's punishment.
The camp manager suggested
I use pepper spray. The spray burns the bears'
eyes,but doesn't hurt
them. So I approached
our uninvited guest slowly and,through the
fence,sprayed him in the face.
With an angry
roar(吼叫),the bear ran to the lake to wash his
eyes.
