A new photobook unveils their often overlooked beauty. Proctor’s Theatre, Newark, New Jersey Although available outdoors from street sellers, food was banned in theatres to display respectability. In the late 1920s, however, the operators in Proctor’s Theatre in Newark began to set up stands to improve the economic situation during the Great Depression. Popcorn and Coke would become a significant part of the theatre’s income. Proctor’s Theatre, Troy, New York Originally opened as Proctor’s Fourth Street Theatre in 1914, it hosted famous comedians such as Jack Benny and Bob Hope. From 1929, it was successively taken over, renamed as Proctor’s Troy Theatre and switched to screening films. In the 1960s, it began playing second-run films before closing in 1977. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1979. In 2010, the theatre was repaired but is currently not being used today. RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre, New York Originally opened in 1928, RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre was designed by Thomas Lamb. In 1982, it was listed on the NRHP. In 1986, the theatre was bought and closed by its new owner who planned to build a shopping centre on the site, intentionally damaging the hall. In 2019, despite the preservation efforts, the hall was knocked down to make way for a residential tower block. Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia The theatre was originally opened as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908. In the 1920s, it was renamed as the Metropolitan Opera House, showing silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the 1940s, it became a sports arena. In 1954, it was turned into a church. In the late 1990s, the building was purchased by Mark Hatcher. The church and the developer came to an agreement on a repair for a music venue that was completed and reopened in 2018. 7．In the late 1920s, Proctor’s Theatre in Newark set up stands to ________.

Popcorn and Coke would become a significant part of the theatre’s income.（然而，在20世纪20年代末，纽瓦克的普罗克特剧院的经营者开始设立摊位，以改善大萧条时期的经济状况。爆米花和可乐将成为剧院收入的重要组成部分）”可知，在20世纪20年Proctor’s Theatre in Newark设立（小吃）摊位是为了增加剧院的收入。故选B。 8．细节理解题。根据Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia部分的“In the 1920s, it was renamed as the Metropolitan Opera House, showing silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the 1940s, it became a sports arena. In 1954, it was turned into a church. In the late 1990s, the building was purchased by Mark Hatcher. The church and the developer came to an agreement on a repair for a music venue that was completed and reopened in 2018.（在20世纪20年代，它被重新命名为大都会歌剧院，除了主办各种歌剧公司外，还放映无声电影。在20世纪40年代，它变成了一个运动场。1954年，它被改成了教堂。上世纪90年代末，这栋建筑被Mark Hatcher买下。教堂和开发商就音乐场地的修复达成了协议，该场地于2018年完工并重新开放）”可知，Metropolitan Opera House从上世纪20年代到本世纪大约100年间几经变化，从歌剧院到运动场，再到教堂，目前它是一个音乐场地，即Metropolitan Opera House的功能发生了变化。故选C。 9．推理判断题。根据第一段“Old and unrestored theatres are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook unveils their often overlooked beauty.（我们周围到处都是未修复的老剧院，却无人注意。一本新的相册揭示了它们经常被忽视的美）”结合下文对四个老剧院的独特之处的介绍可知，本文的目的是提供一些有关被忽略的旧剧院的资料。故选D。 主题02 人与自我——方法/策略 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·北京北师大附中·期中） If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class! Look for people who have the same hobbies as you. You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do. If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks. Spend time around people who show kindness. Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand. Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible. When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you. Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions. When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course. 10．If you are fond of reading, you can ______. A．talk to people with the same interest. B．join a book club to read better books. C．approach people with lots of hobbies. D．spend your free time meeting different people. 11．According to Paragraph 5 (When you’re around someone...), what should you do first when you meet someone you don’t know well? A．Start with a warm handshake. B．Make eye contact with the person. C．Start by talking about a serious topic. D．Start with a brief introduction of yourself. 12．You should avoid asking yes or no questions to ______. A．keep the conversation going. B．end the conversation. C．show kindness. D．respect others. 【答案】10．A 11．D 12．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要给新生在新学校结交新朋友提供几点建议，例如通过寻找有相同兴趣的人，或是参加课外俱乐部和活动。 10．细节理解题。根据文章Look for people who have the same hobbies as you部分中“If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks. (如果你热爱读书，那就加入读书俱乐部，参加公共读书会，或者和那些带着小说来学校的同学交流。)”可知，喜欢读书的人可以去找和自己有相同兴趣的人交谈。故选A项。 11．细节理解题。根据文章Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible部分中“When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. (当你和不认识的人在一起时，静静地坐在那里并不罕见，尤其是当你害羞的时候。然而，在简单的介绍之后，你和对方都会更舒服。)”可知，当你遇到不太熟悉的人时，你可以从简单的自我介绍开始。故选D项。 12．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. (然而，避免简单地问“是”或“否”的问题，因为一个词的回答不一定能让谈话保持活力。)”可知，避免问“是”或“否”的问题是为了让交谈继续进行下去。故选A项。 主题03 人与自然——人与环境 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·北京牛栏山一中·期中） HABITAT RESTORATION TEAM Help restore and protect Marin's natural areas from the Marin Headlands to Bolinas Ridge.

Passage 3 （24-25学年高二上·北京第八十中学·期中） Old and unrestored theatres are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook unveils their often overlooked beauty. Proctor’s Theatre, Newark, New Jersey Although available outdoors from street sellers, food was banned in theatres to display respectability. In the late 1920s, however, the operators in Proctor’s Theatre in Newark began to set up stands to improve the economic situation during the Great Depression. Popcorn and Coke would become a significant part of the theatre’s income. Proctor’s Theatre, Troy, New York Originally opened as Proctor’s Fourth Street Theatre in 1914, it hosted famous comedians such as Jack Benny and Bob Hope. From 1929, it was successively taken over, renamed as Proctor’s Troy Theatre and switched to screening films. In the 1960s, it began playing second-run films before closing in 1977. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1979. In 2010, the theatre was repaired but is currently not being used today. RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre, New York Originally opened in 1928, RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre was designed by Thomas Lamb. In 1982, it was listed on the NRHP. In 1986, the theatre was bought and closed by its new owner who planned to build a shopping centre on the site, intentionally damaging the hall. In 2019, despite the preservation efforts, the hall was knocked down to make way for a residential tower block. Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia The theatre was originally opened as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908. In the 1920s, it was renamed as the Metropolitan Opera House, showing silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the 1940s, it became a sports arena. In 1954, it was turned into a church. In the late 1990s, the building was purchased by Mark Hatcher. The church and the developer came to an agreement on a repair for a music venue that was completed and reopened in 2018. 7．In the late 1920s, Proctor’s Theatre in Newark set up stands to ________. A．show respect for the guests B．increase the theatre’s income C．promote newly released movies D．compete with the street sellers 8．What can we know from the passage? A．RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre is well preserved. B．Proctor’s Theatre in Troy plays second-run films now. C．Metropolitan Opera House has witnessed changes in its function. D．Proctor’s Theatre in Newark has been officially listed on the NRHP. 9．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To rank the old and unrestored theatres. B．To show the development of American theatres. C．To encourage people to protect the old theatres. D．To provide information on overlooked old theatres. 主题02 人与自我——方法/策略 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·北京北师大附中·期中） If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class! Look for people who have the same hobbies as you. You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do. If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks. Spend time around people who show kindness. Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand. Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible. When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you. Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions. When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course. 10．If you are fond of reading, you can ______. A．talk to people with the same interest. B．join a book club to read better books. C．approach people with lots of hobbies. D．spend your free time meeting different people. 11．According to Paragraph 5 (When you’re around someone...), what should you do first when you meet someone you don’t know well? A．Start with a warm handshake. B．Make eye contact with the person. C．Start by talking about a serious topic. D．Start with a brief introduction of yourself. 12．You should avoid asking yes or no questions to ______. A．keep the conversation going. B．end the conversation. C．show kindness. D．respect others. 主题03 人与自然——人与环境 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·北京牛栏山一中·期中） HABITAT RESTORATION TEAM Help restore and protect Marin's natural areas from the Marin Headlands to Bolinas Ridge.
