A A 一 二 三 四 五 六 B（2023·南通） The Drama Festival will run in and outside China from June 20 to July 7. Sixty-five works will be put on both in theatres and online. “The festival is all about imagination connecting drama with the latest technology，” says Liu Chang， manager of the festival， who is also a drama director. Technology has improved the design， performances and so on. Artists like Liu aren’t sure if the new technology can take drama to the future. 一 二 三 四 五 六 A Chinese play directed by Meng Jinghui， inspired（赋予灵感） by the two-part drama Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe， will be on as the opening play of the festival. In the first half of the play， Meng introduces the story to 400 real audiences（观众） sitting in the Fengchao Theatre in Beijing. The second half of the play will have more audiences， who use their cellphones， computers and headsets to be part of the play online. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Zhang Zhouxiang is a director full of imagination. His work， inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights， will be shown from June 30 to July 2. Supported by AI， audiences can explore the  　fictitious　⁠ scene， similar to the feeling in the real world， as the painting describes. 一 二 三 四 五 六 “The stage（舞台） design is done by AI， which is like an assistant realizing the ideas of me and my team，” says Liu. “Now I try to use the latest technology， such as ChatGPT， to write the script， and I am still working on it because the language model is difficult to understand.” Now technology is playing a more and more important role. Many artists want to use it to improve drama. They are very interested in the relationship between people and the latest technology， especially when connected in drama—a scene to dream. 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　A　）29.

Drama of the future D. AI-assisted technology D 一 二 三 四 五 六 C Full stops intimidate young people when used in social media communication as they are interpreted as a sign of anger， according to linguistic experts. Teenagers and those in their early twenties， classified as Generation Z， have grown up with smartphones which they use to send short messages without full stops. Linguistic experts are now investigating why teens interpret a correctly-punctuated text as a signal of annoyance. 一 二 三 四 五 六 The debate became active again after writer Rhiannon Cosslett posted on the Internet， “Older people， do you realize that ending a sentence with a full stop comes across as sort of abrupt and unfriendly to younger people in a message？” Genuinely curious. That caused crime novelist Sophie Hannah to reply， “I’ve just asked my 16-year-old son—apparently this is true. If he got a message with full stops at the end of sentences， he’d think the sender was weird， mean or too blunt.” 一 二 三 四 五 六 According to experts， youngsters who are used to communicating electronically break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate message， rather than using a full stop， which they use only to signal they are annoyed. Some have said the full stop is unnecessary when used in texting because the message is ended just by sending it. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Linguist Dr Lauren Fonteyn of Leiden University in the Netherlands posted on the Internet， “If you send a text message without a full stop， it’s already obvious that you’ve concluded the message. So if you add that additional marker for completion， they will read something into it and it tends to be a falling intonation（语调） or negative tone. Make your sentence an open end， and it will make friends online very happy and relaxed. So full stops could be unnecessary in most cases.” 一 二 三 四 五 六 Professor David Crystal， one of the world’s leading language experts， argues that the usage of full stops is being “revised in a really fundamental way”. In his book Making a Point， he says that the punctuation mark has become an “emotion marker” which warns the recipient（接受者） that the sender is angry or annoyed. 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　A　）33. What does the underlined word “intimidate” probably mean in Paragraph 1？ A. frighten B. move C. delight D. reward （　D　）34. Why do the Generation Z dislike full stops when texting？ A. Because full stops end the conversation awkwardly. B. Because full stops make messages more boring. C. Because full stops are punctuation marks without any emotion. D. Because full stops are regarded as an indication of the sender’s anger. A D 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　C　）35. What is Dr Lauren Fonteyn’s attitude towards full stops for completion？ A. Skeptical. B. Conservative. C. Negative. D. Tolerant. （　B　）36. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？ A. Will full stops be replaced in messages？ B. Does a full stop really conclude a message？ C. How do full stops make recipients embarrassed？ D. How do we understand punctuation marks in messages？ C B 一 二 三 四 五 六 D（2023·南通） Jordan had his eye on a scoring record. Jordan took a deep breath as he stood in the doorway， looking in at the basketball court. “Maybe today I’ll make history，” he thought. The city’s youth basketball league was holding a celebration. Today’s championship game marked 50 years since the league’s first title game（冠军争夺赛）. Before the game， Jordan looked over a special programme. It listed the winners of each championship game and the top scorers. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Jordan stopped when he read the name of the top scorer from a game 30 years before. “Devin， look！” he said to his friend. “You see who has the all-time record？ My dad！ Twenty-four points. But he never told me that.” “Twenty-four points，” Devin said. “That’s great.” Jordan’s best was 19 points. He was the league’s top scorer. When his parents showed up at the gym， Jordan brought the programme over to them. 一 二 三 四 五 六 His dad laughed. “I had quite a game that day，” he said. “But look at the score. I prefer to trade all my points for a win.” Jordan hadn’t noticed that his dad’s team had lost by one point. “That was a great group of teammates，” Dad said. “I’m still friends with a lot of them.” As game time came near， Jordan slapped hands with his teammate Tara and then started to warm up. The courts filled up quickly. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Jordan felt strangely calm. He’d played so many games in this gym that it was like his own home. Jordan had led his team to a victory over the Lions last season. Why shouldn’t today be like that？ Jordan grew even more confident when he hit the first 2 shots（投篮）. The Lions called a break. Jordan ran to the bench and jumped up and down with excitement. “Great start，” Coach said. “But those guys are tough. They’ll come back on us.” He was right. By half time， the Lions had pulled ahead， 27―24. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Jordan looked up at his parents. His dad nodded and called， “Great work！” But Jordan didn’t feel quite as confident as before. The teams traded baskets throughout the second half， with neither building a lead. Eleven seconds left. The scoreboard was clear： LIONS 51. BADGERS 51. Coach told Jordan to bring the ball up the court. “Look for Devin inside， but take the shot if you’re open，” he said. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Jordan glanced at his dad again. His dad pointed to Jordan， and then held up two fingers on one hand and three fingers on the other. “Me？” Jordan mouthed. Dad nodded. Jordan had scored 23 points. Another basket would break the record. And it was the right time to do it！ Jordan ran right， then left， but he was still a longway from the basket. The viewers started counting the seconds. “Four ...three ...two.” Jordan rose to shoot. As the Lions rushed toward him， he passed the ball to Devin—wide open near the basket. 一 二 三 四 五 六 Devin turned and shot. The ball fell cleanly through the net for the winning points. “Yes！” Jordan shouted. After celebrating with his team， he ran to hug his parents. “You still have the record，” he told his dad. Dad smiled. “You have something more important. A championship. And great teammates. Congratulations on your history！” 一 二 三 四 五 六 （　C　）37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article？ A. Dad’s team got the championship 30 years before. B. A celebration was held to mark the league’s fiftieth title game. C. Jordan passed the ball to his teammate Devin to win the game. D.

On the one hand， using it a lot is a waste of time and has a bad influence on learning by ourselves. On the other hand， some students are so crazy about playing mobile phone games that they get sick in both body and mind. Moreover， paying too much attention to it prevents us from discovering the beauty of nature and life.　 　In my opinion， the mobile phone is a useful tool， so using it is not wrong.
