We then went for a walk around our area and realized how close we were to the centre of Paris. It only took us 20 minutes to walk to the Louvre. After a walk around the Tuileries Gardens, we went for afternoon tea in a café called Angelina which has the most delicious hot chocolate. After warming up we then walked along to the big department store Printemps, on the top floor where you get a wonderful view of Paris (this was free). We walked along a street called Grands Boulevards which was beautiful with all its Christmas lights. The shops on this street are famous for their Christmas window displays. In the evening we cooked at the apartment and went to a Scottish pub which was funny as two of my friends are Scottish. Saturday In the morning we went for brunch (a meal between breakfast and lunch) at a really cool café called FAB (French American Bakery). We had waffles with bacon and fresh carrot and ginger juice. We found out that we were really close to a chocolate museum, so of course we took a visit--- who doesn’t love chocolate! In the afternoon we went to a Christmas market with unique handmade gifts and crafts. In the evening we ate at a Tunisian restaurant and had roast chicken and vegetable stew with couscous. It was delicious and the restaurant was in a cute little lane. Sunday On Sunday we went for breakfast at the same café and we caught our train back home at midday, carrying shopping bags full of lovely presents that we had bought at the Christmas market. We had a great weekend in Paris. Exploring this beautiful city with no plans was an unusual but great idea as we got to do things we wouldn’t normally discover. I highly recommend spending a weekend somewhere trying to be a local! 1. Where did they enjoy the beautiful view of Paris? A. In a Scottish pub. B. In a department store. C. In a café called Angelina. D. In the Louvre. 2. What may the Christmas market be famous for? A. Christmas lights. B. Delicious food. C. Handmade gifts and crafts. D. Christmas window display. 3. When did they leave Paris according to the text? A. On Sunday lunchtime. B. On the morning of Saturday. C. On the morning of Sunday. D. On Friday lunchtime. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章是一篇旅行日记，主要介绍了作者一行人在星期五、星期六和星期日巴黎之行的旅行活动安排。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“After warming up we then walked along to the big department store Printemps, on the top floor where you get a wonderful view of Paris. ”可知，热身后，他们走到大型百货公司Printemps，在它的顶层可以欣赏巴黎的美景。即他们在百货公司那里可以欣赏巴黎的美景。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“ In the afternoon we went to a Christmas market with unique handmade gifts and crafts. ”可知，下午他们去了一个圣诞节市场，那里有独特的手工制作的礼物和手工艺品。即该圣诞节市场以手工礼品和工艺品而闻名。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“On Sunday we went for breakfast at the same café and we caught our train back home at midday”（星期天，我们在同一家咖啡馆吃早餐，中午赶上了回家的火车）可知，他们中午乘火车回家。结合选项可知，他们在周日午餐时间离开巴黎是合乎文章内容的。故选A。 B It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan. Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and — most important — sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater, Mr. Bellow, did not mind if you did. That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it. We left the theater around 8 just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke. Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life. 4. In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner? A. 1952. B. 1962. C. 1972. D. 1982. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The heat. B. The theater. C. The Music Man. D. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. 6. Why did the author and his brother see the same movies several times? A. The two movies were really wonderful. B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside. C. The manager of the theater was friendly. D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater. 7. Which of the following is True according to the last paragraph? A. The author turned out to be a great singer. B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962. C. The author’s life has been changed by the two movies. D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和哥哥为了应对1962年的热浪，在电影院享受空调同时欣赏电影的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years.(那是1962年，在接下来的十年里，我都不会住在有空调的地方)”可知，作者在1972年才开始住在有空调的地方。故选C。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.(然后，我们坐下来看了《欢乐音乐妙无穷》，接着看了《双虎屠龙》。我们之前已经看过第二部了。它从今年1月就在影院上映了，因为贝娄喜欢任何有约翰·韦恩参演的电影)”可知，it在此句中指代前文提到的第二部电影——《双虎屠龙》。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat.(那天，我和哥哥坐着看了两场电影，想要躲避一下炎热)”及第四段“But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.(但第二天我们又去看了同样的两部电影，又看了两遍。第二天我们也这么做了。最后，在第四天，热浪消退了)”可知，作者和哥哥看了几次相同的电影是为了避开外面的高温。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.(然而，直到今天，我还能唱《欢乐音乐妙无穷》中一半的歌曲，背诵一半的《双虎屠龙》中约翰·韦恩的对话！这些是我对1962年热浪仅有的记忆。它们实际上是对屏幕的记忆，而不是对我生活的记忆)”可推知，作者认为在剧院的经历影响自己到现在，令人难忘。故选D。 C Adaptation and innovation (创新) of traditional opera is an important trend in Chinese opera circle in recent years. In order to attract young audience of new generation and catch up with the time, traditional opera circle makes efforts to create new works. In recent years, traditional opera has come across the change of time and society. It gradually lost the main elderly audience and was not attractive for the young. In order to find new opportunities, using modern sound, light and digital stage effects, China’s traditional Peking, also known as jingju, Opera is appealing to young people in a fashionable and innovative way, as the classic art faces an aging audience. The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing has introduced fashionable performances of Peking Opera. The opera combines instrumental music, vocal performance, mime (哑剧表演), dance and acrobatics (杂技). Tianleyuan has a jingju art experience section and fashionable performances. It has attracted more than 2,000 audience members, mostly young people, according to theater staff. “Good art should keep pace with the times, so does jingju,” said Zhang Zishang, a 22-year-old performer of The Drunken Beauty, one of the classic jingju plays performed in the theater. “I feel today’s performance is very special,” Zhang added. She was born into a family of jingju performers and has had 10 years of stage experience. “Innovation is good, but we must also carry on the basic elements of jingju,” another young performer Deng said. According to Deng, innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience. It has made successful attempts to combine jingju with local opera forms such as ballet when organizing performances abroad. “Innovation can help traditional arts go further. We are happy to see many young faces, and some of them even come twice to experience the ‘new’ art,” she added. 8. Why is adaptation and innovation of traditional opera important? A. To run after fashion. B. To attract the young audience. C. To improve digital stage effect. D. To change the traditional opera circle. 9. Which of the following can best describe Tianleyuan Theater? A. A destroyer of Peking Opera. B. An objector of modern opera. C. A pioneer of innovative opera. D. A defender of traditional opera. 10. How does Deng feel about the innovation of jingju? A. Favourable. B. Unreliable. C. Worthless. D. Conservative. 11. Which one can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Traditional Opera Is Dying Out B. The Future of the Traditional Opera Is Promising C. The Performers of the Traditional Opera Are Supporting Jingju D. Traditional Opera Circle Is Innovating to Attract Young Audience 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是传统戏剧用创新和改编的办法，顺应时代潮流，吸引年轻观众。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章第一段“Adaptation and innovation (创新) of traditional opera is an important trend in Chinese opera circle in recent years. In order to attract young audience of new generation and catch up with the time, traditional opera circle makes efforts to create new works.(对传统戏曲的改编和创新是近年来中国戏剧界的一个重要趋势。为了吸引新一代的年轻观众，跟上时代的步伐，传统歌剧界努力创作新的作品。)”可知，对传统戏曲进行创新和改编主要是为了吸引年轻人也来观看，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing has introduced fashionable performances of Peking Opera. The opera combines instrumental music, vocal performance, mime (哑剧表演), dance and acrobatics (杂技).(有着百年历史的北京天乐园剧院引进了流行的京剧表演。京剧结合了器乐、声乐、哑剧、舞蹈和杂技。)”和第四段“Tianleyuan has a jingju art experience section and fashionable performances. It has attracted more than 2,000 audience members, mostly young people, according to theater staff.(天乐园设有京剧艺术体验区和时尚表演区。据剧院工作人员说，它吸引了2000多名观众，其中大部分是年轻人。)”可知，天乐园剧院率先进行了改革，所以它是创新戏剧的先驱，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“According to Deng, innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience.(邓认为，创新或许是京剧应对观众老龄化问题的最佳方式。)”可知，他认为创新或许是京剧应对受众老龄化问题的最佳方式，并且可以帮助传统艺术走得更远。 由此可知，他认为对京剧进行创新是有帮助的。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Adaptation and innovation (创新) of traditional opera is an important trend in Chinese opera circle in recent years. In order to attract young audience of new generation and catch up with the time, traditional opera circle makes efforts to create new works. In recent years, traditional opera has come across the change of time and society. It gradually lost the main elderly audience and was not attractive for the young.(对传统戏曲的改编和创新是近年来中国戏剧界的一个重要趋势。为了吸引新一代的年轻观众，跟上时代的步伐，传统歌剧界努力创作新的作品。近年来，传统戏曲经历了时代和社会的变迁。它逐渐失去了主要的老年观众，对年轻人也没有吸引力。)”和第二段“In order to find new opportunities, using modern sound, light and digital stage effects, China’s traditional Peking, also known as jingju, Opera is appealing to young people in a fashionable and innovative way, as the classic art faces an aging audience.(为了寻找新的机会，使用现代声音、灯光和数字舞台效果，中国传统的京剧，也被称为京剧，以一种时尚和创新的方式吸引年轻人，因为这门经典艺术面临着老龄化的观众。)”可知，文章主要讲的是传统戏剧用创新和改编的办法，顺应时代潮流，吸引年轻观众，因此最恰当的标题是D选项“Traditional Opera Circle Is Innovating to Attract Young Audience(传统戏曲圈创新吸引年轻观众)”，故选D。 D Scientists have long known that plants react to their environment in all sorts of ways. For example, they grow toward sunlight and release chemicals to fight off insects that want to eat them. Not all scientists are comfortable calling those abilities “awareness,” a word many people use to describe only humans and animals. But for Gagliano, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Western Australia, it’s obvious. “Plants are responding to the environment and the information that the environment is providing them,” she says. “That’s awareness.” The challenge for scientists like her is to prove it. So Gagliano created an experiment. She attached potted mimosa (含羞草) plants to a metal rail and dropped them, letting them quickly slide down six inches. At first, all the mimosa plants closed their leaves when they fell. But once Gagliano had dropped them several times, they got used to it and started to keep their leaves open during the fall. Then Gagliano left the mimosa plants alone for almost a month. When she came back and dropped them again, they still didn’t close their leaves. Gagliano’s work showed mimosa plants could not only learn from past experiences, but they could also remember them for a long time. More recently, Gagliano gave pea plants a chance to shine. Plants make their food out of sunlight, so they grow toward light sources. Every time Gagliano shined a light source at her pea plants, she also pointed a fan at them. The breeze came from the same direction as the light. After three days of training, she took away the light source and just pointed a fan at the plants. Sure enough, most of the pea plants grew toward the breeze. They had learned to associate it with light. “That was pretty amazing. It shows a real choice, a real decision,” she says. Gagliano hopes her experiments will inspire other scientists to give plants more credit. “Humans have a tendency to look at our perspective as the only available one, and the only worthwhile one,” she says. Her experiments help reveal how much we humans have overlooked, just because we didn’t know how to see what plants were really up to. 12. Which of the following can be regarded as “awareness” of plants according to Gagliano? A. Plants eat insects for food. B. Plants’ leaves produce oxygen. C. Plants’ roots grow toward water source. D. Plants release chemicals to attract insects. 13. Why did Gagliano drop the mimosa plants several times in her first experiment? A. To help them to grow better. B. To test whether they have memories. C. To see if they can close their leaves. D. To create a challenging environment for them. 14. What can be concluded about pea plants from paragraph 3? A. They shine with sunlight. B. They are sensitive to changes. C. They grow towards breeze naturally. D. They respond to the environment well. 15. What does Gagliano mean in the last paragraph? A. Plant behaviors are too complex to understand. B. Plants should be treated like humans and animals. C. Plants may have more potential than humans thought. D. Humans have a unique perspective in the study of plants. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家Gagliano通过实验证明植物具有“意识”和反应能力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中““Plants are responding to the environment and the information that the environment is providing them,” she says. “That’s awareness.” (“植物正在对环境以及环境提供给它们的信息作出反应，”她说，“这就是意识。”)”可知，Gagliano认为植物对环境及其提供的信息作出反应就是“意识”。因此，植物朝向水源生长可以被视为植物的“意识”。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“The challenge for scientists like her is to prove it. So Gagliano created an experiment. She attached potted mimosa (含羞草) plants to a metal rail and dropped them, letting them quickly slide down six inches. At first, all the mimosa plants closed their leaves when they fell. But once Gagliano had dropped them several times, they got used to it and started to keep their leaves open during the fall. Then Gagliano left the mimosa plants alone for almost a month. When she came back and dropped them again, they still didn’t close their leaves. Gagliano’s work showed mimosa plants could not only learn from past experiences, but they could also remember them for a long time. (像她这样的科学家面临的挑战是如何证明这一点。于是，Gagliano设计了一个实验。她将盆栽的含羞草植物绑在金属轨道上，然后让它们迅速滑落六英寸。起初，当含羞草植物落下时，它们的叶子都会闭合。但Gagliano多次让它们落下后，它们就习惯了，在落下时开始保持叶子张开。然后，Gagliano让含羞草植物独自放置了近一个月。当她回来再次让它们落下时，它们的叶子仍然没有闭合。Gagliano的研究表明，含羞草植物不仅能够从过去的经历中学习，而且还能长时间记住这些经历)”可推知，Gagliano在第一次实验中多次让含羞草植物掉落是为了测试它们是否有记忆能力。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“After three days of training, she took away the light source and just pointed a fan at the plants. Sure enough, most of the pea plants grew toward the breeze. They had learned to associate it with light. (经过三天的训练后，她拿走了光源，只对着植物吹风扇。果然，大多数豌豆植物都朝着微风的方向生长。它们已经学会了将微风与光线联系起来)”可知，豌豆植物在经过训练后学会了将风与光联系起来，说明它们对环境有很好的反应能力。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Gagliano hopes her experiments will inspire other scientists to give plants more credit. “Humans have a tendency to look at our perspective as the only available one, and the only worthwhile one,” she says. Her experiments help reveal how much we humans have overlooked, just because we didn’t know how to see what plants were really up to. (Gagliano希望她的实验能激励其他科学家对植物给予更多的认可。“人类往往认为我们的视角是唯一可用的视角，也是唯一有价值的视角，”她说。她的实验有助于揭示我们人类因为不知道如何观察植物的真实行为而忽略了多少东西)”可知，Gagliano希望她的实验能够激励其他科学家更加重视植物，她的实验揭示了人类因为不知道如何观察而忽略了很多植物的潜能。因此，她认为植物可能比人类想象的有更多的潜能。故选C。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night?

Before you go to bed tonight，play some soft music. Then，just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland! A. This prepares us for sleep B. Make sure that the final piece is one that slowly fades out C. It would take as many as three weeks to see any improvements D. Therelore，folk music is something that anyone can understand E. Classical，jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles F. Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity G. Music plays a more important role in our life than just being a source of entertainment 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. A 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章作者告诉我们轻音乐有助于我们提高睡眠质量，增加睡眠时间。 【16题详解】 划线后提到“这个方法对所有年龄段的睡眠者都有效，甚至对那些有睡眠问题的人也有效”。同时划线后在第二句话也提到了“轻音乐可以帮助我们更快地入睡，在晚上少醒来，在早上感觉更休息的更好”。由此可知，F项“科学家发现，轻音乐可以帮助改善睡眠质量和睡眠时间”统领下文，且划线后的this指代F项的“轻音乐改善睡眠质量和睡眠时间”这个发现。因此F项切题。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据前句提到“不过，你可能不会在一夜之间注意到这些效果”可知，C项“可能需要长达三周的时间才能看到任何改善”是对前句进行补充说明。因此C项切题。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据前句提到“轻音乐可以降低我们的心率和呼吸速度”可知，A项“为我们睡觉做好准备”和前句构成因果关系，且A项中的this 指代前句提及的“降低我们的心率和呼吸速度”。因此A项切题。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据前句提到“科学家说，对大多数人来说，每分钟70拍的音乐效果最好”可知，E选项“古典、爵士和民俗音乐通常比其他音乐风格更有效”是对前句进行补充说明。因此E项切题。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据划线后句提到“否则，你可能会被突然的寂静吵醒”可知，B项“确保最后一曲是慢慢结束的”前后构成条件关系。即要确保最后一曲是慢慢结束，不然会被突然的安静吵醒。因此B项切题。故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in a small coastal town where hurricanes were a constant threat.

We then went for a walk around our area and realized how close we were to the centre of Paris. It only took us 20 minutes to walk to the Louvre. After a walk around the Tuileries Gardens, we went for afternoon tea in a café called Angelina which has the most delicious hot chocolate. After warming up we then walked along to the big department store Printemps, on the top floor where you get a wonderful view of Paris (this was free). We walked along a street called Grands Boulevards which was beautiful with all its Christmas lights. The shops on this street are famous for their Christmas window displays. In the evening we cooked at the apartment and went to a Scottish pub which was funny as two of my friends are Scottish. Saturday In the morning we went for brunch (a meal between breakfast and lunch) at a really cool café called FAB (French American Bakery). We had waffles with bacon and fresh carrot and ginger juice. We found out that we were really close to a chocolate museum, so of course we took a visit--- who doesn’t love chocolate! In the afternoon we went to a Christmas market with unique handmade gifts and crafts. In the evening we ate at a Tunisian restaurant and had roast chicken and vegetable stew with couscous. It was delicious and the restaurant was in a cute little lane. Sunday On Sunday we went for breakfast at the same café and we caught our train back home at midday, carrying shopping bags full of lovely presents that we had bought at the Christmas market. We had a great weekend in Paris. Exploring this beautiful city with no plans was an unusual but great idea as we got to do things we wouldn’t normally discover. I highly recommend spending a weekend somewhere trying to be a local! 1. Where did they enjoy the beautiful view of Paris? A. In a Scottish pub. B. In a department store. C. In a café called Angelina. D. In the Louvre. 2. What may the Christmas market be famous for? A. Christmas lights. B. Delicious food. C. Handmade gifts and crafts. D. Christmas window display. 3. When did they leave Paris according to the text? A. On Sunday lunchtime. B. On the morning of Saturday. C. On the morning of Sunday. D. On Friday lunchtime. B It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan. Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and — most important — sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater, Mr. Bellow, did not mind if you did. That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it. We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke. Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life. 4. In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner? A. 1952. B. 1962. C. 1972. D. 1982. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The heat. B. The theater. C. The Music Man. D The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. 6. Why did the author and his brother see the same movies several times? A. The two movies were really wonderful. B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside. C The manager of the theater was friendly. D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater. 7. Which of the following is True according to the last paragraph? A. The author turned out to be a great singer. B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962. C. The author’s life has been changed by the two movies. D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable. C Adaptation and innovation (创新) of traditional opera is an important trend in Chinese opera circle in recent years. In order to attract young audience of new generation and catch up with the time, traditional opera circle makes efforts to create new works. In recent years, traditional opera has come across the change of time and society. It gradually lost the main elderly audience and was not attractive for the young. In order to find new opportunities, using modern sound, light and digital stage effects, China’s traditional Peking, also known as jingju, Opera is appealing to young people in a fashionable and innovative way, as the classic art faces an aging audience. The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing has introduced fashionable performances of Peking Opera. The opera combines instrumental music, vocal performance, mime (哑剧表演), dance and acrobatics (杂技). Tianleyuan has a jingju art experience section and fashionable performances. It has attracted more than 2,000 audience members, mostly young people, according to theater staff. “Good art should keep pace with the times, so does jingju,” said Zhang Zishang, a 22-year-old performer of The Drunken Beauty, one of the classic jingju plays performed in the theater. “I feel today’s performance is very special,” Zhang added. She was born into a family of jingju performers and has had 10 years of stage experience. “Innovation is good, but we must also carry on the basic elements of jingju,” another young performer Deng said. According to Deng, innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience. It has made successful attempts to combine jingju with local opera forms such as ballet when organizing performances abroad. “Innovation can help traditional arts go further. We are happy to see many young faces, and some of them even come twice to experience the ‘new’ art,” she added. 8. Why is adaptation and innovation of traditional opera important? A. To run after fashion. B. To attract the young audience. C. To improve digital stage effect. D. To change the traditional opera circle. 9. Which of the following can best describe Tianleyuan Theater? A. A destroyer of Peking Opera. B. An objector of modern opera. C. A pioneer of innovative opera. D. A defender of traditional opera. 10. How does Deng feel about the innovation of jingju? A. Favourable. B. Unreliable. C. Worthless. D. Conservative. 11. Which one can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Traditional Opera Is Dying Out B. The Future of the Traditional Opera Is Promising C The Performers of the Traditional Opera Are Supporting Jingju D. Traditional Opera Circle Is Innovating to Attract Young Audience D Scientists have long known that plants react to their environment in all sorts of ways. For example, they grow toward sunlight and release chemicals to fight off insects that want to eat them. Not all scientists are comfortable calling those abilities “awareness,” a word many people use to describe only humans and animals. But for Gagliano, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Western Australia, it’s obvious. “Plants are responding to the environment and the information that the environment is providing them,” she says. “That’s awareness.” The challenge for scientists like her is to prove it. So Gagliano created an experiment. She attached potted mimosa (含羞草) plants to a metal rail and dropped them, letting them quickly slide down six inches. At first, all the mimosa plants closed their leaves when they fell. But once Gagliano had dropped them several times, they got used to it and started to keep their leaves open during the fall. Then Gagliano left the mimosa plants alone for almost a month. When she came back and dropped them again, they still didn’t close their leaves. Gagliano’s work showed mimosa plants could not only learn from past experiences, but they could also remember them for a long time. More recently, Gagliano gave pea plants a chance to shine. Plants make their food out of sunlight, so they grow toward light sources. Every time Gagliano shined a light source at her pea plants, she also pointed a fan at them. The breeze came from the same direction as the light. After three days of training, she took away the light source and just pointed a fan at the plants. Sure enough, most of the pea plants grew toward the breeze. They had learned to associate it with light. “That was pretty amazing. It shows a real choice, a real decision,” she says. Gagliano hopes her experiments will inspire other scientists to give plants more credit. “Humans have a tendency to look at our perspective as the only available one, and the only worthwhile one,” she says. Her experiments help reveal how much we humans have overlooked, just because we didn’t know how to see what plants were really up to. 12. Which of the following can be regarded as “awareness” of plants according to Gagliano? A. Plants eat insects for food. B. Plants’ leaves produce oxygen. C. Plants’ roots grow toward water source. D. Plants release chemicals to attract insects. 13. Why did Gagliano drop the mimosa plants several times in her first experiment? A. To help them to grow better. B. To test whether they have memories. C. To see if they can close their leaves. D. To create a challenging environment for them. 14. What can be concluded about pea plants from paragraph 3? A. They shine with sunlight. B. They are sensitive to changes. C. They grow towards breeze naturally. D. They respond to the environment well. 15. What does Gagliano mean in the last paragraph? A. Plant behaviors are too complex to understand. B Plants should be treated like humans and animals. C. Plants may have more potential than humans thought. D. Humans have a unique perspective in the study of plants. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night?
