Yuyin Society recorded a video to immerse(使沉浸于)students in Peking Opera,just in time for their Chinese Culture Day.In addition to classic Peking Opera performances,the video included a special backstage view of what professional actors do behind the scenes,especially how they do their facial make-up and wear costume headpieces.Students leamed about how different make-up and costumes would represent and reflect characters'different personalities and status. On the day tour of Yuyinge,students were able to touch and feel the history of Peking Opera through the beautiful ancient architecture.In addition,students were able to explore Peking opera through a mix of activities,including a crash course on Peking Opera,a costume dress rehearsal( ),a lesson on how to do the stage movements,as well as appreciating an actual play.The students walked away with knowledge of the five major roles in Peking Opera and a keen aesthetic( sense of the art. Students at Dulwich College come from over 30 different countries and regions,each carrying an unique cultural background.Although most of the students had been exposed to Peking Opera to some extent,few had engaged with the art closely until they joined the two-day hands-on Peking Opera workshop.Teachers from Yuyin Society shared with students the various roles and techniques of Peking Opera and guided them through interactive activities,where our students leamed to draw mask paintings,sing famous pieces and practice stage poses. 51.What was the main purpose of Dulwich College's collaboration with Yuyin Society?

B Every time I saw my coupled friends share their vacations on social media while I went home to visit my family,I thought,I'll be happy when I finally find someone who will go to Iceland with me."Iceland was a symbol of a lot of things for me.It was also a thing I believed I needed to do with a partner. Years passing by,I realized this habit of saying"l'll be happy when..."is far more damaging than it seems on the surface.In our pursuit()of happiness,we end up postponing joy.We put off trips until we have the right partner to go with.But then as we scroll through our social media feed,it feels like everyone else is living life while we're just siting on the sidelines. I decided to stop waiting for happiness. In 2019,I booked a New Year's trip to Iceland-by myself.What do you think happened when I finally took that trip to Iceland after nearly 10 years of thinking about it?I found joy! I watched the fireworks explode over Reykjavik with three generations of Icelanders.I ate fish and chips and scribbled(草草地写)in my joumal.I booked a trip to Snaefellsnes,which ended with hot chocolate and singing carols()with a crowd of farmers in a hotel.And the highlight of this trip was seeing the Northem Lights,which were more magical than I had imagined. What I've leamed about leaning into the present rather than waiting for the future is that something unexpected always happens.Sometimes it's adventure,and then you're left with memories you 5 never would've had if you'd just waited for happiness to find you.Other times,you find new friends, new opportunities,new inspiration-things that may actually help you get to the happiness you' re seeking faster or help you uncover a new definition of happiness. Now,when I catch myself saying some version of'l'll be happy when .."I try to imagine myself in the future,looking back on right now and asking myself:what are you waiting for? 56.What was the author like at first?

C When many of us think of robots,we picture large metal objects in the shape of humans,having difficulty moving around.But robots have come a long way.A team at Harvard University in Massachusetts recently developed a soft-bodied robot.The team based the design of its robot on sea creatures without hard shells or skeletons() The robotic device was made with soft materials called elastomers (3).It is about thirteen centimeters long and has four legs that can move separately.The movements are controlled by compressed air and can be operated from a computer. George Whitesides led the Harvard researchers.The United States Department of Defense paid for the project. The robot itself took two months to develop.In tests,researchers have guided the robot under a plate of glass less than three centimeters high.The researchers say their invention can move at a 6 speed of about thirteen meters an hour. A report about the robot was published in November in the joumal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Increasingly,soft robots are being developed for difficult jobs like moving through a battlefield or wreckage(from a natural disaster.The robot can move across uneven surfaces including small rocks and wet dirt. Earlier this year,scientists from Tufts University in Massachusetts developed another kind of soft robot made of silicone rubber().This robot is about ten centimeters long and shaped like a caterpillar()It is able to roll up into a ball shape and move itself forward. But researchers say there are difficulties in making these robots move.For one,they want to find a way for the robot to transport its own power source.They are also hoping to improve its speed. 61.What can we leam from the passage? A.The robots made of silicone rubber can move more easily than those made of metal. B.A caterpillar can change its body like a ball and roll itself forward quickly. C.The large metal robots in the shape of humans can't be used to do some difficult jobs D.The soft robot developed by the Harvard researchers is useful after the earthquake. 62.The researchers at Harvard University came up with the idea of soft-robots according to _ A.a science fiction B.the animals under the sea C.the aliens in the Mars D.the balls in the playground 63.What does the underlined word 'uneven"in the sixth paragraph probably mean? A.Regular. B.Unsmooth. C.Polished. D.Flat. 64.What should the researchers in Tufts University do more in the development of the soft robot? A.To raise more money for the research. B.To make the robot move more quickly C.To make the robot useful in the emergency. D.To save the robot's power and energy. 65.We can infer that the author of the text is A.objective in his introduction to the soft-bodied robot B.curious about the future of the soft-bodied robot C.doubtful about the speed of the soft-bodied robot D.disappointed at the development of soft-bodied robot D In 1987,a mountain on Mercury()got a name-Li Qingzhao,the name of a Chinese female poet.According to the International Astronomical Union,all new mountains on Mercury must be named after a litterateur)or an artist who was famous for more than fifty years,and dead for more than three years,before the date they are named.Of the total of 310 names,fifteen are named after famous Chinese writers and artists,and Li Qingzhao is one of them,together withLi Bai,Bai Juyi,Cao Xueqin and Lu Xun. What did Li Qingzhao do to deserve such an honour?Li is a poet of the Song Dynasty.Compared with other male poets in China,who have left hundreds or even thousands of poems,Li has only eighty-seven,like a drop in a bucket of water.However,her talents and artistic creativity as shown in her eighty-seven works have eamed her a lasting place in the Chinese literary circle. Li was born into a scholar-official family in 1084.Like other young women in a rich family,she was well-read and trained in Chinese calligraphy and musical instrument.Most young women of rich families were taught to follow the"Three Obediences and Four Virtues"at that time,while Li was free in both character building and artistic development. When it was time for her to start another stage in life-marriage,Li married ZhaoMingcheng,a student at the supreme academy of the imperial court.The couple devoted their spare time to their common interests-literature and the collection of calligraphy and painting. Unluckily,their happiness didn't last long.The power struggle at the very top of the govemment destroyed everything.Li first followed her husband to Qing Zhou,and spent the next ten years there. It tumed out that the ten years in Qing Zhou was the most productive period for her artistic creativity.Then in 1127,when the North Song Dynasty ended,Li followed her husband to Lin'an. Soon her husband died.And the worst part was that not only did she lose her loved husband but she also lost most of her accumulated(积累的)works. Later,Li remarried a government official,who tumed out to be a total liar and treated her badly.She died in 1155 in loneliness and pain. 66.With the strict rules set by The International Astronomical Union in naming mountains on Mercury,· A.Li Qingzhao is the only female poet B.310 of them are named after famous Chinese figures C.15 of them are named after well-known Chinese writers and artists D.none but Li Qingzhao,Li Bai,Bai Juyi,Cao Xueqin and Lu Xun are chosen 67.Why did Li Qingzhao deserve such an honour? A.Because she wrote eighty-seven poems. B.Because she was like a drop in a bucket of water. C.Because she was a famous female poet in the Song Dynasty.

B.She was free to do whatever she wanted to. C.She was forced to follow the"Three Obediences and Four Virtues".

Seeing me or rather my car,a boy quickly ran up to me,eager to sell his bananas and nuts."Banana 300 naira.Nuts 200 naira!"I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts.When he agreed,I handed him a 500 naira note.He didn't have change,so I told him not to worry.He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth. When,two weeks later,I ran into this same boy,I was more aware of my position in Nigerian society where it wasn't that uncommon to see a little boy who should have been in school selling fruit in the buming sun.My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us. What's up?"I asked him."1......I don't have money to buy books."I took out two 500 naira notes. He looked around nervously before taking the money.One thousand naira means a lot to a family that makes only 50,000 each year. The next moming,an officer told me,"In this place,when you give a little,people think you're a fountain of chance.Possibly it's right,but this happens everywhere in the world.I wondered if my little friend had actually used the money for books. After six months'work in northem Nigeria,I retumed and saw him again standing on the road. "Are you in school now?"I asked. He nodded. A silence fell as we looked at each other,and then I realized what he wanted.I held out a 500naira note."Take this."He shook his head fiercely and stepped back as if hurt.'What's wrong? I asked.'It's a gift."Shaking his head again,he handed me a basket of bananas and nuts before he said,"I've been waiting to give these to you." 71.What happened when the author met the boy for the first time?(No more than 15 words) 72.What do the underlined words"ran into"in Paragraph 4 mean?(No more than 5 words) 73.What was the author's impression of Nigerian society?(No more than 20 words) 74.Why did the author give two 500 naira notes to the boy?(No more than 10 words) 75.What do you leam from the boy?(No more than 15 words) 第五部分：根据首字母和汉语提示，写出下列单词（共10小题，每小题0.5分，满分5分） 76.Letme d 演示)to you how to carry out the experiment. 77.He is a f_(频繁的)visitor to this country 78.Metal c (传导)electricity well. 79.We had to carry the piano three flights of s (楼梯). 8o.Shep_(按压the key hard but it didn't work. 81.Many people lost their lives in the b()of Pingjin. 82.Her reasons were not e_(完全地)cear.. 83.G()is one of the four Chinese inventions. 84.Kathy seems to take a p.__(被动的)role in the relationship, 85.It is my strong d()that I should win in the competition. 10
