Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin，entertained by the apprentices(徒弟) of Hou Baolin，Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan—all leading crosstalk artists of years past—for only 20 yuan. The success in Tianjin has also caused the rejuvenation(复活) of crosstalk in Beijing and other places. Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty(1644-1911)，Tianjin became a place where rising stars formed their styles and new pieces were tried out.The city was well-known nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances. Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally，“face and voice”)，crosstalk was the chief form of comedy throughout most of the 20th century.In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere，temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform，although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters. Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture，from history and folk tales to social issues of the time.Although there’re hundreds of traditional pieces，they’re constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience，while new works are written as well.It’s one of the features that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history. “Crosstalk was in the doldrums(萎靡不振) with competition from other art forms，especially TV，” said Wang Xiaochun，headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China(NSAS)．“But it has regained its status(地位) with crosstalk fans，especially young people，growing aware of its rare qualities.” “More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk，including some girl students，” said Wang.“They’re sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.” 1. What does crosstalk mean in Chinese? A．Storytelling. B．Face and voice. C．Folk tale. D．Dialogue. 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．Crosstalk first arose in Tianjin. B．Crosstalk was mainly performed at teahouses in the past. C．Crosstalk was the most popular art form in the 20th century. D．Crosstalk didn’t appear until the Qing Dynasty. 3．We can learn that the future of crosstalk first lies in . A．setting up more storytelling art schools B．beating TV and other arts C．young people’s understanding of its value D．a strong market B Today’s teens are still going through the same physical and emotional transitions (过渡) older generations had, but they’re also burdened with pressures we never could have imagined even several years ago—from the cruel separation caused by social media to the terrifying impact of climate change. In the face of all this, how can teens overcome these challenges? While there’re no simple answers to this question, part of the way forward is learning self-compassion. Self-compassion means treating yourself with kindness and support when you’re having a hard time, being aware of difficult emotions and recognizing they’re a normal part of life. This may sound like no big deal, but actually, most of us do the opposite. When something’s happened that makes us feel bad, for example, we tend to be overly self-critical, often assuming that whatever happened was our fault. In a recently published study, my colleagues and I taught one group of teens the Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens (MSC-T) program. Eight sessions were designed to help them be more supportive and compassionate to themselves. Another group learned a healthy lifestyle course that included sessions on nutrition, exercise, sleep and healthy social media use. In our study, all the teens were exhibiting some anxious symptoms. The results showed that after six months, teens in the self-compassion group were over 2.5 times less likely to develop full-blown anxiety compared to teens in the healthy lifestyle group, suggesting the self-compassion course protected the teens from getting more anxious. Although we can’t determine how self-compassion is protective, we suspect it has to do with teens developing an understanding of common humanity. In one class, a teen said, “Whatever you’re feeling, you’re not alone in it. Somebody else will feel the same way, and will know where you’re coming from.” Self-compassion won’t solve all teens’ problems. But it’ll give them a new way to approach their problems without blaming themselves. As one teen said to me after taking a self-compassion course, “You know, it’s changed the way I look at myself and the world.” And that can make all the difference. 4．What do most people tend to do when having a hard time? A.They criticize others. B.They seek support. C.They remain normal. D.They blame themselves. 5．How did the author and his colleagues mainly draw their conclusion? A. By making comparisons. B. By listing numbers. C. By quoting sayings. D. By presenting examples. 6．How can self-compassion affect teens in the author’s opinion? A．It helps develop kindness in them. B．It can give them a new viewpoint. C．It gets them to take care of others. D．It makes them emotionally weaker. 7．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．How Can Teenagers Get Over Challenges in Life? B．How Is Self-Compassion Used to Fight Loneliness? C．Can Self-Compassion Help Teens With Anxiety? D．Is Guiding the Teen Years Harder Than Before? C The southwestern United States has experienced drought for more than 20 years. Arizona has increasingly pumped (抽吸) water from underground, but that meets less than half of what the state needs. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of new residents arrive every year, and more communities are built. One report shows that a large area near Phoenix doesn’t have enough groundwater for all the homes that developers want to build there. That means 800,000 people. Some experts say the solution is to import water from outside the state. One idea is to build a $5.5 billion desalination (脱盐) plant on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. The plant would remove salt from the water and pump that water to Arizona through a 200-mile pipeline. Supporters say this could provide a water supply for decades. Environmentalists see a different future. Some of the salt taken out of the Sea of Cortez might end up back in the ocean, harming wildlife. The pipeline would damage land where people and animals live. And the desalination process uses lots of energy. This would create greenhouse gases, the very gases that are causing the conditions that have led to Arizona’s water problems. Margaret Wilder is a professor at the University of Arizona, in Tucson. She warns that big projects like this one could be used to show much more unsustainable development in the desert in the future. Moreover, desalinating water would likely be a massive expenditure for Arizonans. Cities pay about $50 to $150 for 326,000 gallons. That’s enough for a family of three in Phoenix for a year. Desalinated water could charge 20 times as much. Environmentalists say the government should focus on cutting the demand for water rather than increasing the supply. That would mean taking water-saving measures and limiting how many homes are built. Thousands of households in Tucson, Arizona, are collecting rainwater and using it for cooking, drinking, and in their gardens. Government leaders have taken notice. Tucson also helps residents pay for equipment that collects rainwater for home use. 8．What is the problem faced by the southwestern United States? A．A population increase B．A serious heatwave. C．A waste of resources. D．A water shortage. 9．What do environmentalists probably think of the desalination project? A．It provides a long-term solution to drought. B．It would harm the planet from various aspects. C．It fails to take people’s basic needs into account. D．It draws people’s attention to environmental destruction. 10．What does the underlined part “a massive expenditure” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Affordable. B．Costly. C．Unsafe. D．Beneficial. 11．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．People are unsatisfied with the government’s water measures. B．Collecting rainwater is the key to meeting water demands. C．People are exploring water resources with official support. D．Public concern about water safety has increased. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，选出最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 How Laughing at Yourself Makes You Attractive Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public and got laughed at for it？ 12 And it’s okay—we should even have a laugh about them. ·Laughing at yourself means accepting who you really are.You may feel bad about yourself because of past misfortune.However，it’s normal to be imperfect.What’s important is that you should be honest with yourself about who you are. 13 You won’t be able to laugh at yourself without self-acceptance. ·Laughing at yourself helps increase your confidence.When you’re able to stay optimistic and laugh at yourself，you are likely to be more successful in life. 14 More importantly，it helps you realize your own weaknesses，so you know which areas to do better in. · 15 Laughing at someone else may hurt their feelings even if you didn’t intend to，while laughing at yourself does not.You might even bring a smile to their faces.Don’t worry about losing respect from others，because people actually appreciate it when you laugh at yourself.Laughing at yourself shows that you have the courage to do so and you’re being real about your imperfections，making people think you are likeable.
