多幕剧的形式及特点
戏剧按作品形式规模可分为多幕剧(Multiact play)与独幕剧(Oneact play)。
《青鸟》是由比利时剧作家Maurice Maeterlinck创作的经典多幕剧,讲述了 Tyltyl和Mytyl兄妹二人寻找象征幸福与快乐的青鸟的冒险之旅。课文节选并改编了其中两场内容。第四幕第二场为 Tyltyl 和 Mytyl到达the Palace of Happiness之后与Happiness之间的对话。 Happiness反复提醒兄妹二人“青鸟就在你们身边”,二人却浑然不知。在第六幕第二场中,Tyltyl和Mytyl怏怏而归,却意外发现自己的小鸟正是他们苦苦找寻的青鸟。为了让邻居家中患病的小女孩开心,Tyltyl将小鸟送给了她。小姑娘得到青鸟后,病立刻好了。最后,青鸟飞走了。《青鸟》告诉人们,幸福就在身边,静静等待着他们去发现,并将它传递给身边的人,从而获得更多的快乐。
在阅读多幕剧的剧本时,建议同学们先找出剧本的线索,然后按图索骥,梳理剧情。其次,聚焦戏剧的矛盾冲突,了解冲突的发生、发展与高潮。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题4分,共28分)
A
(2024·武汉二中高二下期末)Schaumburg District 54, a school district in Schaumburg, IL, has implemented a happiness curriculum.A key component of the curriculum is gratitude, where students develop four habits that take just 21 minutes each day through exercises and learn to be thankful for not what they may want, but what makes them happy right now.And the four happiness habits are listed.
Two minutes of emailing
Write a twominute maximum email each day praising or thanking a different person in your life.Not only do you often receive positive emails back, but this habit significantly increases your social connection, which is the greatest predictor of longterm happiness and is also as predictive of how long you will live as obesity or high blood pressure.
Fifteen minutes of movement
Fifteen minutes of movement each day can be the equal of taking an antidepressant, and acts as a gateway drug because people who do this start adding on entire groups of positive habits.
Two minutes of meditation (冥想)
Two minutes of meditation—simply watching your breath go in and out—improves accuracy on tasks by 10 percent, significantly reduces stress, improves sleep and raises engagement scores.
Two minutes of journal
Two minutes of journal about a positive, meaningful experience each day can significantly decrease pain symptoms and stress and increase the amount of meaning you feel in your life.Simply think of one meaningful event that happened over the past 24 hours and then on a sheet of paper, write down some details you can remember, which is called “Doubler”.Your brain struggles to tell the difference between visualization and actual experience, so you are doubling a meaningful event each day.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了幸福课程中的四个幸福习惯。
1.What does the new curriculum focus on?
A.Being grateful.
B.Being energetic.
C.Physical health.
D.Interpersonal relationship.
A [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A key component of the curriculum is gratitude”可知,新的课程聚焦于懂得感恩,故 A项正确。]
2.Which habit promote you to develop good habits?
A.Two minutes of journal.
B.Two minutes of emailing.
C.Two minutes of meditation.
D.Fifteen minutes of movement.
D [细节理解题。根据第三段“Fifteen minutes of movement...start adding on entire groups of positive habits.”可知,每天15 分钟的运动有助于你养成良好的习惯,故D项正确。]
3.What is the benefit of keeping a diary?
A.Improving sleep.
B.Boosting optimism.
C.Gaining insight into life.
D.Increasing social connection.
C [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“increase the amount of meaning you feel in your life” “you are doubling a meaningful event each day”可知,写日记能加深人们对生活的意义以及对有意义的事情的认识,故 C项正确。]
B
(2024·惠州市高二下期末)We've all had a guilty pleasure or two.Maybe it was an awkward TV show that we enjoyed a little bit too much, maybe a song we listened to ironically until it became a bit too unironic.Perhaps a snack which was very disgusting but it wound up coming back around to be delicious, or a movie which was very egregious but it ended up being a fantastic one.Thought we often wonder why we enjoy these things, we should really be asking ourselves why we feel guilty for enjoying them.
With the obvious exception of things that are harmful to people, our harsh judgment toward ourselves and others over what we enjoy does nothing but harms our individual expression and enjoyment.
It's natural to want to appear “cool” to other people whatever that may mean to you.With the cultural tendency and the means to share literally anything and everything you enjoy via social media, we perfectly curate (组织) the media we consume to match some sort of the imagined ideal aesthetic (美学)—a trap that's much too easy to fall into.Don't fall into the trap!
My point is, the things that hold us back from openly enjoying our “guilty pleasures” often come from completely unfounded places.This is especially true that a teenage girl would rather be misunderstood than admit she likes pink.Frankly, what's the point? Who are you proving yourself to, and why do you feel the need to prove yourself? If you're not harming anyone, and you are getting happiness from something, then why bother holding yourself back from it just to preserve some kind of curated image of whom you're supposed to be?
Life is hard enough as it is.If you've found something that eases the stress of life even just a little bit, hold onto it for dear life.Read a super tacky (俗气的) romance novel.Throw that guilt right out of the window with absolutely no regrets, and do whatever makes you happy.
[语篇解读]本文是议论文。作者论述并建议读者不要因为自己喜欢的事情不被世俗理解而感到罪恶,只要你喜欢的事情对别人无害、能让你快乐,就尽情去做吧。
4.What does the underlined word “egregious” mean in the first paragraph?
A.Moving. B.Unpopular.
C.Thrilling D.Unbearable.
D [词义猜测题。根据语境可知,画线词含义应与“fantastic(极好的,了不起的)”意义相反,分析四个选项可知,D项“Unbearable(无法忍受的)”与画线词意义最为接近。moving“感人的”;unpopular“不受欢迎的”;thrilling“令人兴奋不已的”。]
5.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A.Most people want to gain recognition from others.
B.Social media has a bad impact on selfrecognition.
C.The cultural tendency sets a standard for the ideal aesthetic.
D.People enjoy curating the media that they consume.
A [细节理解题。结合第三段中的“It's natural to want to appear ‘cool’ to other people...we perfectly curate (组织) the media we consume to match some sort of the imagined ideal aesthetic(美学)”可知,我们总是想要维护自己的形象,期待得到别人的认可,故A项正确。]
6.What would hold us back from enjoying “guilty pleasures”?
A.The desire to lead a simple life.
B.The intention to show off ourselves.
C.The need to admit that we like pink.
D.The purpose to guard our ideal image.
D [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“why bother holding yourself back from it just to preserve some kind of curated image of whom you're supposed to be?”可以看出,维护自己的完美形象可能会阻碍自己去享受“罪恶乐趣”,故D项正确。]
7.Which of the following may the author agree with?
A.Find ways to overcome hard life.
B.Set ourselves free from fixed opinions.
C.Have an indepth talk with ourselves to find our souls.
D.Talk with people and make our own decisions.
B [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“some sort of the imagined ideal...Don't fall into the trap!”和第四段中的“why bother holding yourself back...image of whom you're supposed to be?”可知,作者建议读者不要掉入一些想象的理想美学的陷阱,而是要勇敢地摆脱固有看法,尽情享受生活,故B项正确。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每题2分,共10分)
(2024·东北师大附中高二下期末)Are people less or more happy when they get older? A study in 2018 found that people generally became happier and experienced less worry after the age of 50.In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people were happier with their life than they were at 18.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.1.
Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70's.But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70's and 80's.The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grew older.2.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.
3. One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
4. In another study, people in their 80's reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.5. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.
A.So why will happiness increase with age?
B.Researchers surveyed more than 150,000 American adults.
C.At that time, the people were between the age of 18 and 25.
D.Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50's.
E.Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.
F.The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women.
G.However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了随着人们年龄的增长,人们的情绪更加稳定,担忧也更少。
1.D [设空处位于第二段最后一句,设空前一句说了研究团队关于压力水平的发现,即最高的压力水平出现在哪些年龄段,所以该空可能与压力水平的下降有关。故选D。]
2.G [该空前一句说的是随着年龄变大,男人和女人有相似的情绪模式,所以此处应接着说基于男女情绪对比的研究发现。故选G。]
3.A [空处位于句首,根据后面的解释(一个理论认为,人变老时会变得对他们所拥有的事物更加感激,而且能更好地控制情绪)可知,A项“那么为什么幸福感会随着年龄增加?”符合语境。故选A。]
4.E [空处位于句首,根据后面的内容可知,人们到了80多岁的时候,睡眠质量问题最少,这是随着变老出现的又一个好处。故选E。]
5.F [前一句说,有个流行的观点认为,随着年龄的增长,睡眠问题应该增加。而空后“But”表转折,故可推知此空和前一句为顺承关系,应与睡眠问题的增加有关,故选F。]
