2023—2024学年高二12月月考英语试题 命题人： 审题人： 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A，B，C，D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Skip the West End and discover some exciting, theatrical treasures—maybe in a pub or under a railway station—in one of London's many alternative theatres. If you want to experience the glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium, for a £ 10 ticket, off-West End is the way to go. Theatre 503 Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub, up a very narrow staircase, and beyond a dinky foyer（门厅）, you will find yourself at Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time, which is a tight squeeze even then. But it's well worth the intimacy that you'll necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions. King's Head Theatre Perhaps the perfect example of London pub theatre, the King's Head has been in business since the early 1970s. The King's Head is consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed（归类） or, indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre's uncle who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music, refusing to give up its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun. Soho Theatre An institution that hardly needs introducing, Soho Theatre has been at the forefront for new writing and comedy for decades, producing some of the most exciting new talent on the scene today. As the name suggests, the theatre sits in the centre of Soho, and its bar has become a hub for artists and audiences alike. Vaults Theatre A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below Waterloo station, with an atmosphere all of its own. Not only is Vaults Theatre home to some of the most thrilling immersive and alternative theatre, it's also leading the way in accessibility, offering a pay-what-you-can ticket price on Wednesday s and Sundays as of Autumn 2022. 1. How long has been King's Head Theatre in business? A. About 50 years.
