Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”. It was very popular in south China during the 18th century. Theatrical (戏剧的) art forms in many other countries do not have singing, dancing and spoken parts together in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer doesn’t speak or sing. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment (娱乐). It includes spoken parts, singing and dancing. Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries. “You will doubt and sometimes be a little bored, but you will be interested gradually. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera, even if you know nothing about the drama background.” This is how one traveler described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera! 36. Beijing Opera is ________. A. unpopular in north China B. only developed from the local drama “Huiban” C. a traditional Chinese drama art form D. a much larger Chinese opera form 37. After watching Beijing Opera for the first time, the traveler felt ________. A. interested B. happy C. uncomfortable D. busy 38. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph means “________”. A. a modern play B. local drama C. an opera singer D. Beijing Opera 39. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? ________ A. Only old people are interested in Beijing Opera. B. An opera singer neither dances nor speaks on stage usually. C. Beijing Opera is a kind of entertainment. D. Mei Lanfang was the first one to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners. 40. The main purpose of writing the passage is to ________. A. ask young people to learn Beijing Opera B. introduce everything about foreign operas C. show why Beijing Opera is popular in Europe D. tell us something about Beijing Opera B I was on a train in Switzerland. The train came to a stop and the conductor’s (乘务员的) voice over the loudspeaker delivered (传递) a message in German, Italian, and French. I’d made the mistake of not learning any of those languages before my vacation. Everyone started getting off the train and an old woman saw that I was confused and stressed. She could speak some English and told me that an accident had happened on the tracks (轨道). She asked me where I was trying to get to, then went and talked to some workers, and came back to tell me that we’d have to hop (换乘) trains three or four times to get there. I was really glad she was heading the same way because it would have been impossible for me to figure it out on my own. So we went from one train station to the next, getting to know each other along the way. She was really the sweetest woman. It was a 2.5-hour journey in total, and when we made it to the final destination (目的地), we got off and said our goodbyes. I had made it just in time to catch my train to Rome. She told me she had a train to catch as well. I asked her how much farther she had to go and it turned out that her home was two hours back the other way. She had jumped from train to train and travelled the whole way just to make sure that I made it. I was in shock. A woman spent her whole day sitting on trains and taking her hours away from her home just to help out a confused tourist visiting her country. No matter how many countries I visit, I’ll always say the most beautiful country in the world is Switzerland. 41. The author had to get off the train because ________. A. she got on the wrong train by mistake B. there was an accident on the tracks C. she couldn’t understand the conductor D. an old woman invited her to travel together 42. How many hours did the old woman spend travelling that day? A. About 4.5 hours. B. About 2.5 hours. C. About 2 hours. D. About 6 hours. 43. Why did the old woman help the author? A. To practise her English with the author. B. To make sure the author wouldn’t get lost. C. To kill time with a foreigner on the train. D. To guide the author around her country. 44. What can we infer about the author from the story? A. Her hometown is Rome, Italy. B. Her English is not better than the old woman’s. C. She was not satisfied with her trip in Switzerland. D. She thinks people in Switzerland are quite nice. 45. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The Most Beautiful Country B. An Accident on the Train C. The Sweetest Woman D. Learn Some Languages Before Vacation C How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial (日晷) about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows(流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz(石英) clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It was also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work. 46. According to the passage, we can’t use a ________ to tell the time on a rainy day. A. water clock B. mechanical clock C. digital clock D. sun clock 47 What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph? A. 现代的 B. 普通的 C. 富有的 D. 特殊的 48. How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven. 49. Which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, …) A. ①②/③④ B. ①/②③④ C. ①/②③/④ D. ①②③/④ 50. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The development of timekeeping. B. The importance of time. C. The inventions of clocks. D. The history of a digital clock. D Think of a simple object—a piece of chalk, for example. Are you remembering its name, its shape, its color or its size? Arc you remembering what it is used for, or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard? Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain, such as language and the ability of sense. They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something in your senses. Then messages are sent to different brain cells (细胞) which join together to form connections. A new connection goes into your shorter memory. It is stored there for about 30 seconds, and then it is either lost or stored in your long term memory. Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in your long term memory. To do this, you need to keep your brain in good shape. Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil, fruit and vegetables. Laughter also makes your brain more active. Also, don’t forget to exercise. So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house. Finally, get plenty of sleep. This will make your memories grow stronger. When you want to remember information, you must pay special attention. Use your senses-sight, smell, hearing and touch, and keep repeating the information. To do well in your exams this year, turn off the TV, silence your mobile phones, and review your work regularly. To remember something special, use your imagination to create visual connections. For example, you need to take a pencil, an eraser, your ID card and chips to your next exam. Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal, the pencil its long neck, and the eraser its head. Your animal is hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips. It may sound crazy, but it’s fun and it works. Another way is to do something different to your room. Turn a picture upside-down, or tie a sock around the door handle to remind yourself of something to remember! 51. At the beginning, the writer gives an example to ________. A. let readers remember the word B. show the importance of chalk C. lead in the topic of the article D. make readers know his favorite 52. Which of the following can make our memories grow stronger? A. Laughter. B. Plenty of sleep. C. Lots of exercise. D. Plenty of brain food. 53. What does the underlined “visual” mean in Chinese? A. 相关的 B. 必要的 C. 感觉的 D. 视觉的 54. The main idea of the last paragraph is ________. A. how to remember new information B. how to do well in exams C. why to review your work D. what to eat to make memories stronger 55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Memory has nothing to do with languages. B. A picture of eating chips is the most useful. C. Laughter can help to improve our memory. D. Our brain is difficult to keep in good shape. E 根据对话内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全对话，其中有两个为多余选项。 A: Hello, Tony! Guess where I am now! I’m in Hohhot!
