This kind of show has a long history. It started in Paris, France. The performers (表演者) put on lots of makeup (化妆品) and are usually dressed as famous people. It’s not easy to be a living statue. The performers have to stay completely still (完全静止) for hours. If you want to ask them something, you will probably not get an answer, because they never speak. So why do they do such a tough job? Well, some do it simply for fun. But for most, it’s a way to make money. If people love their performance, they often give the performers some money. Really good performers have also got a problem. Because they perform very well, people may just pass them, thinking they’re real statues. So now the performers let themselves make small movements (动作). The performers may have some tricks (小把戏) to make people give them money. If someone gives them some money, they may lift a hat, hand over a flower or reach out their hand to touch the person. 26. Where did the living statue show start? A. In France. B. In China. C. In England. D. In America. 27. What should the performers do to look like real statues? ①Wear heavy makeup. ②Put on common clothes. ③Keep still for a long time. ④Dress up as someone else. A ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ 28. What does the underlined word “tough” probably mean? A. Boring. B. Relaxing. C. Difficult. D. Dangerous. 29. What doesn’t a living statue performer do when he/she gets money? A. Sing a song. B. Lift a hat. C. Touch you. D. Give you a flower. 30. What is the best title of the passage? A. How to Be a Living Statue B. The History of the Living Statue C. The Sad Life of a Living Statue Performer D. A Popular Street Show—Living Statue Show 【答案】26. A 27. B 28. C 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了欧洲许多城市中一种特殊的街头表演——活人雕塑表演，包括其起源、表演者的装扮与要求、表演目的以及一些吸引观众的小技巧。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This kind of show has a long history. It started in Paris, France.”可知，活人雕塑表演起源于法国巴黎。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The performers put on lots of makeup and are usually dressed as famous people.”和第三段“The performers have to stay completely still for hours.”可知，表演者要化浓妆、装扮成名人，并长时间保持静止。因此，①化浓妆、③长时间保持静止、④装扮成其他人都是正确的，而②穿普通衣服与原文不符。故选B。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“It’s not easy to be a living statue.”和第四段“Well, some do it simply for fun. But for most, it’s a way to make money.”可知，成为活人雕塑并不容易，对大多数人来说，这是一份赚钱的工作，由此可推断“tough”在此处意为“困难的”。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If someone gives them some money, they may lift a hat, hand over a flower or reach out their hand to touch the person.”可知，当活人雕塑表演者收到钱时，他们可能会举帽子、递花或伸手触摸对方，但不会唱歌。故选A。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段“When you travel in many cities in Europe, you can see a special kind of street show—living statue show.”可知，本文主要介绍了一种流行的街头表演——活人雕塑表演。因此，最佳标题为“一种流行的街头表演——活人雕塑表演”。故选D。 C 配对阅读左栏是五个人的个人信息，右栏是一些英语学习网站的介绍。请将这五个人与其最适合的英语学习网站配对，其中两项多余。 ___31___ Kelly is studying language in Canada.

B When you travel in many cities in Europe, you can see a special kind of street show—living statue (活人雕塑) show. This kind of show has a long history. It started in Paris France. The performers (表演者) put on lots of makeup (化妆品) and are usually dressed as famous people. It’s not easy to be a living statue. The performers have to stay completely still (完全静止) for hours. If you want to ask them something, you will probably not get an answer, because they never speak. So why do they do such a tough job? Well, some do it simply for fun. But for most, it’s a way to make money. If people love their performance, they often give the performers some money. Really good performers have also got a problem. Because they perform very well, people may just pass them, thinking they’re real statues. So now the performers let themselves make small movements (动作). The performers may have some tricks (小把戏) to make people give them money. If someone gives them some money, they may lift a hat, hand over a flower or reach out their hand to touch the person. 26. Where did the living statue show start? A. In France. B. In China. C. In England. D. In America. 27. What should the performers do to look like real statues? ①Wear heavy makeup. ②Put on common clothes. ③Keep still for a long time. ④Dress up as someone else. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ 28. What does the underlined word “tough” probably mean? A. Boring. B. Relaxing. C. Difficult. D. Dangerous. 29. What doesn’t a living statue performer do when he/she gets money? A. Sing a song. B. Lift a hat. C. Touch you. D. Give you a flower. 30 What is the best title of the passage? A How to Be a Living Statue B. The History of the Living Statue C.
