Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic (传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant. The star, whose death aged 82 in 1986 brought to an end one of the 20th century’s greatest screen careers, rarely spoke in public and would always adopt a mid-American accent for the cameras. Isaacs, 60, said this week that after some “detective work”, he found out about an interview Cary Grant gave to a student from the University of Iowa months before his death. The student’s classmate secretly recorded the interview in which Cary Grant spoke about his hatred (厌恶) of being approached by fans. The secret recording reveals Cary Grant’s true accent. At the launch of the ITV drama Archie-after Cary Grant’s birth name Archibald Leach — Isaacs said that when he landed the role, “the first thing I did was look for interviews of Cary Grant.” Isaacs added, “He didn’t want to be seen and he didn’t want to be known. There was nothing at all. Only the films. And that’s not what he spoke like. His accent changed a lot in the films.” Isaacs said of listening to the tape: “I felt like I’d finally made a real connection with him and that’s the voice you hear on screen in Archie. It’s more English than he is in the movies. People think they remember Cary Grant’s voice but what they remember is Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot.” The ITV biopic focuses on Grant’s troubled family relationships. Jennifer Grant, Grant’s daughter, said her father had rarely spoken about his childhood. “Sadly I think there was so much shame wrapped up in it,” Jennifer Grant said. 24．(2.5分)Why did Jason Isaacs attempt to get a recording of Cary Grant? A．To recreate his accent for real. B．To show sincere respect to him. C．To get the role of Cary Grant easily. D．To make the film more profitable. 25．(2.5分)What can we infer about Cary Grant from Paragraph 4? A．He acted as a detective. B．He worked in a university. C．He hated being recorded secretly. D．He disliked having his life disturbed. 26．(2.5分)Whose voice is familiar to the audience? A．Cary Grant. B．Tony Curtis. C．Jason Isaacs. D．Jennifer Grant. 27．(2.5分)What kind of person is Jason Isaacs? A．Generous. B．Ambitious. C．Determined. D．Knowledgeable. 【答案】24．A 25．D 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文一篇记叙文。在饰演已故明星Cary Grant这个角色之前，为了真实再现Cary Grant的声音，Jason Isaacs设法找到了Cary Grant生前的谈话录音，从而可以模仿他的真实声音。因为大家熟悉的Cary Grant的声音都是他在电影里的声音，这与他真实的声音不同。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic(传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant. (在即将上映的ITV传记片中扮演加里·格兰特的杰森·艾萨克斯说，虽然他下定决心要弄清楚加里·格兰特的真实口音，但他对没有采访加里·格兰特感到不安。)”可推知，Isaacs下定决心找到有关Cary Grant的录音，是想在电影中真实地再现他的声音。故选A。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The student’s classmate secretly recorded the interview in which Cary Grant spoke about his hatred(厌恶) of being approached by fans. (该学生的同学秘密录制了加里·格兰特在采访中谈到他对粉丝的厌恶。)”可推知，他不喜欢自己的生活被打扰。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“People think they remember Cary Grant’s voice but what they remember is Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot. (人们以为他们记得加里·格兰特的声音，但他们记得的是《热情似火》里的托尼·柯蒂斯。)”可知，观众记住的Cary Grant的声音其实是电影Some Like It Hot中的角色Tony Curtis的声音。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic(传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant. (在即将上映的ITV传记片中扮演加里·格兰特的杰森·艾萨克斯说，虽然他下定决心要弄清楚加里·格兰特的真实口音，但他对没有采访加里·格兰特感到不安。)”Jason Isaacs为了演好Cary Grant这个角色设法找到他的采访录音，从而在电影里真实再现Cary Grant的声音，可推知，Jason Isaacs是有决心的。故选C。 （本题10分）A speech in a play by Shakespeare can be as short as a word or as long as several hundred. But what is the most common length? Staying away from Shakespeare himself for a moment, we can take Ben Jonson’s play Volpone (1606) and count the number of speeches and their lengths. The most common length is four words. The next most common length is five words. Of the other 16 Jonson’s plays, 12 also have a speech length mode (模式) of four. It was not just Jonson; it was everybody. After 1602, four-word speeches were the most common kind across all the early modern plays that survived. The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten. After 1602, the mode of four predominated. If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back. Our suggestion is that the playwrights (剧作家) learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech. Another way to think of this is offered by the Russian literary scholar Boris Yarkho. He put forward an “index (指数) of liveliness” — the ratio of the number of speeches to the total number of lines in a play. He researched the works of the 17th-century French playwright Pierre Corneille and found that his comedies have a higher index because of their shorter speeches. The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms. Nevertheless, we have no record of any dramatist or playgoer reflecting on the shortening of average speech lengths; our only knowledge of it comes from counting the words in the plays for ourselves. 28．(2.5分)What happened in English plays around the 1600s? A．Their storylines were about famous writers. B．They were influenced by a poetic writing style. C．They featured different storytelling techniques. D．Their speeches were generally shorter in length. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “predominated” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Remained unique. B．Took the leading position. C．Disappeared slowly. D．Played an educational role. 30．(2.5分)Why did playwrights change their writing styles according to paragraph 4? A．To challenge traditional writing rules. B．To stand out by applying their unique style. C．To avoid being affected by social values. D．To create realistic and acceptable speeches. 31．(2.5分)Which of the following is Yarkho’s opinion on the change in plays? A．It saved actors the trouble of memorizing their lines. B．It reflected people's preference for serious dialogues. C．It helped present dramas in an active and pleasant way. D．It made the characters express their feelings effectively. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．D 31．C 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了17世纪后，大多数戏剧的话语长度转向四字模式，剧作家认为较短的戏剧话语能以一种积极愉快的方式呈现戏剧。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten.(伦敦戏剧产业在1580年代末和1590年代初开始发展，我们看到演讲长度模式集中在9词或10词)”及“If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back.(如果我们只看莎士比亚的戏剧，我们会发现他做的和其他人一样：在1597-1602年左右，他从喜欢9个词的演讲变成了喜欢4个词的演讲，并且再也没有回去过)”可知，16世纪末尾，话语长度多为9词，10词，17世纪后，话语长度转向4词，话语长度变短。故选D。 29．词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back.(如果我们只看莎士比亚的戏剧，我们会发现他做的和其他人一样：在1597-1602年左右，他从喜欢9个词的演讲变成了喜欢4个词的演讲，并且再也没有回去过)”可知，划线词后以莎士比亚的戏剧为例，说明话语长度变短，并且再没有变长，推知，4词模式从此处于主流领导地位，划线词意思为：处于领先地位。故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Our suggestion is that the playwrights(剧作家)learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech.(我们的建议是，剧作家们逐渐从彼此学习如何更紧密地表达日常交流中的讲话长度，并发现观众对此反应良好。他们开始不那么关注严格的写作规则，而更多地关注日常讲话的生动活泼)”可知，剧作家写作时更加重视日常用语的生动性，因此，他们改变写作风格创造现实和可接受的演讲。故选D。 31．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms.(从9个词的模式到4个词的模式代表了缩短的平均讲话，因此用Yarkho的话说，这是一种更生动的戏剧)”可知，Yarkho认为，将戏剧的词数变短，有助于以一种积极愉快的方式呈现戏剧。故选C。 （本题10分）The pre-show announcement instructed us to turn off our mobile phones, but I kept my phone on. I was at Vienna’s Burgtheater to watch a performance of Kirill Serebrennikov’s Barocco, but as a non-German speaker, I’m dependent on the surtitles (唱词字幕). For this performance, they were accessible via the Burgtheater’s free surtitle app Prompt, which audience members are able to download to their phones before the show on. During the performance, I was able to follow the translation on my phone. The surtitles were written in white on black so there was minimal glow (极暗淡的光) to distract other audience members. The Burgtheater isn’t alone in offering such a service. In Vienna, surtitle apps are available for all productions in German and English, but Martin Kušej’s production of Faust is also available in Russian, while Three Winters by a Croatian playwright is available in the BSC (Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian) languages. These apps serve a double function in that they are intended for hard-of-hearing audience members as well as non-native speakers. The key difference from the usual method of presenting surtitles, on screens mounted either above or at the sides of the stage, is that you must look back and forth between the screen and the stage, which can be distracting. The performance I was watching was music-driven so I only had to occasionally glance at the screen, but I’d imagine this might be more of an issue in a text-heavy production. Plus — and this is a very specific complaint — as a critic, it’s harder to write notes while holding a phone. Surtitles are an access tool in more ways than one. International productions aside, in the UK we still tend to think of them in relation to hearing difficulties. Data shows that people increasingly watch TV with the subtitles on. Yet, when it comes to theater, they can sometimes feel like an afterthought. Apps offer an alternative to more traditional surtitles, but is this the way forward? Should more places in the UK be experimenting with them? 32．(2.5分)Why did the author keep his phone on during the performance of Barocco? A．To download its surtitles. B．To write down some notes. C．To receive announcements in time. D．To read the translation of the actors’ lines. 33．(2.5分)What can be learned about the surtitle app service offered by theaters in Vienna? A．It provides multi-language surtitles. B．It allows users to interact with the performers. C．It offers background information on each play. D．It tends to cause complaints from native speakers. 34．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Not every show having surtitles. B．Constantly redirecting attention. C．The distracting screen placed on stage. D．Surtitles being too small to read from a distance. 35．(2.5分)What does the last paragraph tell us about surtitle apps? A．They can help with English learning. B．They are mainly used for international works. C．They have become increasingly common on TVs. D．They have seen limited adoption in UK theaters. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了维也纳剧院提供的一种通过手机应用程序来观看唱词字幕的服务，探讨了其优势、与传统的区别以及在英国剧院的应用情况。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was at Vienna’s Burgtheater to watch a performance of Kirill Serebrennikov’s Barocco, but as a non-German speaker, I’m dependent on the surtitles (唱词字幕). For this performance, they were accessible via the Burgtheater’s free surtitle app Prompt, which audience members are able to download to their phones before the show on. During the performance, I was able to follow the translation on my phone.(我在维也纳的城堡剧院观看基里尔·谢列布连尼科夫的《巴洛克》的演出，但作为一个不会说德语的人，我依赖于唱词字幕。对于这场演出，观众可以通过城堡剧院免费的唱词字幕应用程序Prompt在演出前下载到手机上。在演出过程中，我可以在手机上查看翻译)”可知，作者在演出期间一直开着手机是为了阅读演员台词的翻译。故选D项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In Vienna, surtitle apps are available for all productions in German and English, but Martin Kušej’s production of Faust is also available in Russian, while Three Winters by a Croatian playwright is available in the BSC (Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian) languages.(在维也纳，所有德语和英语演出的唱词字幕应用程序都有提供，但马丁·库谢的《浮士德》也有俄语版本，而克罗地亚剧作家的《三个冬天》则有BSC(波斯尼亚语、塞尔维亚语和克罗地亚语)版本)”可知，维也纳剧院提供的唱词字幕应用程序服务提供多种语言的唱词字幕。故选A项。 34．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The key difference from the usual method of presenting surtitles, on screens mounted either above or at the sides of the stage, is that you must look back and forth between the screen and the stage, which can be distracting.(与通常在舞台上方或两侧的屏幕上显示唱词字幕的方法的主要区别在于，你必须在屏幕和舞台之间来回看，这可能会分散注意力)”可知，此处描述的是在舞台上方或两侧的屏幕上显示唱词字幕需要观众不断转移注意力，由此可推知，划线词所在句“The performance I was watching was music-driven so I only had to occasionally glance at the screen, but I’d imagine this might be more of an issue in a text-heavy production.(我观看的这场演出是以音乐为主的，所以我只需要偶尔瞥一眼屏幕，但我想在文字密集的演出中，this可能更成问题)”中“this”指代的是前文提到的“不断转移注意力”。故选B项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“International productions aside, in the UK we still tend to think of them in relation to hearing difficulties. Data shows that people increasingly watch TV with the subtitles on. Yet, when it comes to theater, they can sometimes feel like an afterthought. Apps offer an alternative to more traditional surtitles, but is this the way forward? Should more places in the UK be experimenting with them?(除了国际演出之外，在英国，人们仍然倾向于将字幕与听力障碍联系在一起。数据显示，越来越多的人在看电视时会开启字幕。然而，在戏剧领域，字幕有时却像是一种事后补充。应用程序提供了替代传统字幕的方式，但这是未来的发展方向吗？英国应该有更多场所尝试使用它们吗？)”可知，在英国，人们仍然倾向于将字幕与听力障碍联系在一起，对字幕有偏见，结合最后的问句“Should more places in the UK be experimenting with them?”可推知，唱词字幕应用程序在英国剧院的应用有限，并不常见。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）How to Watch and Enjoy a Film at Home Although watching a movie in a theater is special, watching it at home is usually more convenient, comfortable, and cheaper. 36(2.5分) We’ll give you many tips to make your home cinema better.

The one most widely accepted today is based on the 41 that drama originated from ritual (宗教仪式). The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings 42 the natural forces of the world — even the seasonal changes — as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to 43 these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then repeated until they changed into 44 rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained the mysteries of the rituals. As time passed, some rituals were 45 , but the stories, later called myths, were passed down and provided material for art and drama. Those believe that drama   46 out of ritual because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used, arguing that those rituals contained the 47 of theater. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and if not all the members in the entire community participated, a clear 48 was usually made between the “acting area” and the “auditorium.” In addition, there were performers, and since considerable importance was 49 to avoiding mistakes in the practice of rituals, religious leaders usually undertake that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often 50 other people, animals or supernatural beings, and mimed (用哑剧表演出) the desired effect, 51 , success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun. Eventually such dramatic representations were 52 from religious activities. Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the human interest in 53 . According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually spread, 54 through the use of action and dialogue by a narrator, and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person.

In my opinion, plot matters far more than special effects when it comes to a movie. A good plot is the soul of a movie, which can touch viewers deeply and leave a lasting impression. It conveys true feelings and meaningful ideas that make people think. Special effects only bring temporary visual fun but can’t make people remember the movie long.

Before I realized what had happened, a gray-white shadow rushed in through the open window and flew over my head. Bang! It hit the wall and slid off to the floor. Shaking with fear, I approached it cautiously and saw that it was a pigeon. It looked at me in fear, trying to open its wings and struggling with its feet, but apparently powerless. So I called my grandpa and immediately set out to give it a helping hand. Taking it in my hands, I felt a few drops of warmth on my hands. It was blood! I gently spread its wings and there were a few red feathers inside. “Don’t worry. We’ll get it out alive,” Grandpa said to me. Then he got the first-aid kit. With some cotton, we dried the blood, cleaned the wound and then put it under a hairdryer to dry. All went smoothly, for the pigeon had no strength left to resist. There happened to be an empty birdcage at home, so I put it in gently and added a little water and some grains. For the next few days, the moment I got home from school, I would run to feed the pigeon. And Grandpa helped a lot, tidying up the cage daily. Little by little, its strength returned. One evening, I fed it with the biscuit I was eating. It enjoyed it! One week later, its wound almost healed (痊愈); its feathers grew and it became brave. Whenever I sat at the table eating biscuits, it looked up at me, cooing (咕咕地叫) constantly. To my joy, I could also reach into the cage to touch it. When I gently fingered its head, it playfully pecked (啄) at me. Finally it completely recovered. But every time I was with it, it seemed restless in the cage. To make it happy and pretty, I tied an orange string (线)around its leg. 注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。 One day, however, when I returned home, Grandpa met me at the door, looking embarrassed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sure enough, I saw a pigeon flying into the house the next afternoon! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: One day, however, when I returned home, Grandpa met me at the door, looking embarrassed. I asked him what had happened. He turned around and pointed to the birdcage, apologizing to me that the pigeon slid out when he was tidying up the cage and flew away through the open window. Gone! I couldn’t believe my ears. I rushed over to the birdcage. Just empty! I stared at the remaining water and grains, tears streaming down my cheeks. “Where has it gone? Will it be hurt again? Will it come back? ...” I asked Grandpa, sobbing. “It will fly back!” he convinced me, wiping away my tears gently. Sure enough, I saw a pigeon flying into the house the next afternoon! It perched near the birdcage, cooing. Despite great excitement, I approached it quietly. It was gray-white and had an orange string tied to one leg. My pigeon came back! “It must be hungry,” Grandpa grinned. Immediately, I fed it with grains and then tiptoed to the window and closed it, urging Grandpa to cage it. But he didn’t. “Pigeons need freedom,” he explained to me patiently. I was hesitant but looking at the pigeon wandering and pecking at the grains peacefully, I realized Grandpa was right! I turned back to the window and opened it. 【分析】本文以鸽子为线索展开，讲述了作者在爷爷的帮助下救治了一只受伤的鸽子，在作者的精心照料下，鸽子渐渐恢复。有一天鸽子飞走了，引起作者的伤心。第二天，鸽子好像不忘救命之恩，又飞回家中。在爷爷的教育下，作者意识到鸟儿的快乐是要自由飞翔，果断地放飞鸽子的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，有一天，当我回到家，爷爷在门口迎接我，看起来很尴尬。”可知，第一段可描写鸽子飞走了，作者的无限伤心，爷爷的极力安慰。 ②由第二段首句内容“果然，第二天下午我看见一只鸽子飞进了房子！”可知，第二段可描写作者重新见到鸽子的喜悦，以及作者新的认识，放飞鸽子。 2.续写线索：难过哭泣——伤心——（爷爷)道歉安慰——喜悦照顾鸽子——明理——放飞 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①哭泣：cry/weep/ tears streaming down my cheeks ②道歉：say sorry to/apologize to ③照顾：look after/take good care of 情绪类 ①.伤心： feel sad/get upset ②.喜悦：feel excited/get delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Jason Isaacs, who plays Cary Grant in a coming ITV biopic (传记片), said that although setting his mind on figuring out the actor’s real accent, he had become upset by the absence of interviews with Cary Grant. The star, whose death aged 82 in 1986 brought to an end one of the 20th century’s greatest screen careers, rarely spoke in public and would always adopt a mid-American accent for the cameras. Isaacs, 60, said this week that after some “detective work”, he found out about an interview Cary Grant gave to a student from the University of Iowa months before his death. The student’s classmate secretly recorded the interview in which Cary Grant spoke about his hatred (厌恶) of being approached by fans. The secret recording reveals Cary Grant’s true accent. At the launch of the ITV drama Archie-after Cary Grant’s birth name Archibald Leach — Isaacs said that when he landed the role, “the first thing I did was look for interviews of Cary Grant.” Isaacs added, “He didn’t want to be seen and he didn’t want to be known. There was nothing at all. Only the films. And that’s not what he spoke like. His accent changed a lot in the films.” Isaacs said of listening to the tape: “I felt like I’d finally made a real connection with him and that’s the voice you hear on screen in Archie. It’s more English than he is in the movies. People think they remember Cary Grant’s voice but what they remember is Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot.” The ITV biopic focuses on Grant’s troubled family relationships. Jennifer Grant, Grant’s daughter, said her father had rarely spoken about his childhood. “Sadly I think there was so much shame wrapped up in it,” Jennifer Grant said. 24．(2.5分)Why did Jason Isaacs attempt to get a recording of Cary Grant? A．To recreate his accent for real. B．To show sincere respect to him. C．To get the role of Cary Grant easily. D．To make the film more profitable. 25．(2.5分)What can we infer about Cary Grant from Paragraph 4? A．He acted as a detective. B．He worked in a university. C．He hated being recorded secretly. D．He disliked having his life disturbed. 26．(2.5分)Whose voice is familiar to the audience? A．Cary Grant. B．Tony Curtis. C．Jason Isaacs. D．Jennifer Grant. 27．(2.5分)What kind of person is Jason Isaacs? A．Generous. B．Ambitious. C．Determined. D．Knowledgeable. （本题10分）A speech in a play by Shakespeare can be as short as a word or as long as several hundred. But what is the most common length? Staying away from Shakespeare himself for a moment, we can take Ben Jonson’s play Volpone (1606) and count the number of speeches and their lengths. The most common length is four words. The next most common length is five words. Of the other 16 Jonson’s plays, 12 also have a speech length mode (模式) of four. It was not just Jonson; it was everybody. After 1602, four-word speeches were the most common kind across all the early modern plays that survived. The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten. After 1602, the mode of four predominated. If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back. Our suggestion is that the playwrights (剧作家) learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech. Another way to think of this is offered by the Russian literary scholar Boris Yarkho. He put forward an “index (指数) of liveliness” — the ratio of the number of speeches to the total number of lines in a play. He researched the works of the 17th-century French playwright Pierre Corneille and found that his comedies have a higher index because of their shorter speeches. The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms. Nevertheless, we have no record of any dramatist or playgoer reflecting on the shortening of average speech lengths; our only knowledge of it comes from counting the words in the plays for ourselves. 28．(2.5分)What happened in English plays around the 1600s? A．Their storylines were about famous writers. B．They were influenced by a poetic writing style. C．They featured different storytelling techniques. D．Their speeches were generally shorter in length. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “predominated” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Remained unique. B．Took the leading position. C．Disappeared slowly. D．Played an educational role. 30．(2.5分)Why did playwrights change their writing styles according to paragraph 4? A．To challenge traditional writing rules. B．To stand out by applying their unique style. C．To avoid being affected by social values. D．To create realistic and acceptable speeches. 31．(2.5分)Which of the following is Yarkho’s opinion on the change in plays? A．It saved actors the trouble of memorizing their lines. B．It reflected people's preference for serious dialogues. C．It helped present dramas in an active and pleasant way. D．It made the characters express their feelings effectively. （本题10分）The pre-show announcement instructed us to turn off our mobile phones, but I kept my phone on. I was at Vienna’s Burgtheater to watch a performance of Kirill Serebrennikov’s Barocco, but as a non-German speaker, I’m dependent on the surtitles (唱词字幕). For this performance, they were accessible via the Burgtheater’s free surtitle app Prompt, which audience members are able to download to their phones before the show on. During the performance, I was able to follow the translation on my phone. The surtitles were written in white on black so there was minimal glow (极暗淡的光) to distract other audience members. The Burgtheater isn’t alone in offering such a service. In Vienna, surtitle apps are available for all productions in German and English, but Martin Kušej’s production of Faust is also available in Russian, while Three Winters by a Croatian playwright is available in the BSC (Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian) languages. These apps serve a double function in that they are intended for hard-of-hearing audience members as well as non-native speakers. The key difference from the usual method of presenting surtitles, on screens mounted either above or at the sides of the stage, is that you must look back and forth between the screen and the stage, which can be distracting. The performance I was watching was music-driven so I only had to occasionally glance at the screen, but I’d imagine this might be more of an issue in a text-heavy production. Plus — and this is a very specific complaint — as a critic, it’s harder to write notes while holding a phone. Surtitles are an access tool in more ways than one. International productions aside, in the UK we still tend to think of them in relation to hearing difficulties. Data shows that people increasingly watch TV with the subtitles on. Yet, when it comes to theater, they can sometimes feel like an afterthought. Apps offer an alternative to more traditional surtitles, but is this the way forward? Should more places in the UK be experimenting with them? 32．(2.5分)Why did the author keep his phone on during the performance of Barocco? A．To download its surtitles. B．To write down some notes. C．To receive announcements in time. D．To read the translation of the actors’ lines. 33．(2.5分)What can be learned about the surtitle app service offered by theaters in Vienna? A．It provides multi-language surtitles. B．It allows users to interact with the performers. C．It offers background information on each play. D．It tends to cause complaints from native speakers. 34．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Not every show having surtitles. B．Constantly redirecting attention. C．The distracting screen placed on stage. D．Surtitles being too small to read from a distance. 35．(2.5分)What does the last paragraph tell us about surtitle apps? A．They can help with English learning. B．They are mainly used for international works. C．They have become increasingly common on TVs. D．They have seen limited adoption in UK theaters. （本题12.5分）How to Watch and Enjoy a Film at Home Although watching a movie in a theater is special, watching it at home is usually more convenient, comfortable, and cheaper. 36(2.5分) We’ll give you many tips to make your home cinema better.

The one most widely accepted today is based on the 41 that drama originated from ritual (宗教仪式). The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings 42 the natural forces of the world — even the seasonal changes — as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to 43 these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then repeated until they changed into 44 rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained the mysteries of the rituals. As time passed, some rituals were 45 , but the stories, later called myths, were passed down and provided material for art and drama. Those believe that drama   46 out of ritual because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used, arguing that those rituals contained the 47 of theater. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and if not all the members in the entire community participated, a clear 48 was usually made between the “acting area” and the “auditorium.” In addition, there were performers, and since considerable importance was 49 to avoiding mistakes in the practice of rituals, religious leaders usually undertake that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often 50 other people, animals or supernatural beings, and mimed (用哑剧表演出) the desired effect, 51 , success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun. Eventually such dramatic representations were 52 from religious activities. Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the human interest in 53 . According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually spread, 54 through the use of action and dialogue by a narrator, and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely 55 theory links theater to those dances that are primarily gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds. 41．(1分)A．elimination B．assumption C．maturity D．innovation 42．(1分)A．perceived B．advocated C．marveled D．dismissed 43．(1分)A．facilitate B．possess C．guarantee D．dominate 44．(1分)A．folded B．flexible C．merciless D．fixed 45．(1分)A．grasped B．quit C．fulfilled D．inspired 46．(1分)A．accompanied B．benefited C．evolved D．inspected 47．(1分)A．essence B．hazard C．loyalty D．misery 48．(1分)A．issue B．device C．division D．version 49．(1分)A．attached B．limited C．committed D．promoted 50．(1分)A．confirmed B．composed C．pursued D．imitated 51．(1分)A．in fact B．as a result C．for instance D．in short 52．(1分)A．preserved B．separated C．frustrated D．exhausted 53．(1分)A．wood-carving B．story-telling C．paper-cutting D．drama-writing 54．(1分)A．initially B．consequently C．fundamentally D．generously 55．(1分)A．remarkable B．objective C．noble D．relevant 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Chinese talented pop star Wang Yibo has taken over a new challenge in Exploring the Unknown (探索新境), an outdoor documentary series 56(1.5分) (produce) by Warner Bros Discovery.

Before I realized what had happened, a gray-white shadow rushed in through the open window and flew over my head. Bang! It hit the wall and slid off to the floor. Shaking with fear, I approached it cautiously and saw that it was a pigeon. It looked at me in fear, trying to open its wings and struggling with its feet, but apparently powerless. So I called my grandpa and immediately set out to give it a helping hand. Taking it in my hands, I felt a few drops of warmth on my hands. It was blood! I gently spread its wings and there were a few red feathers inside. “Don’t worry. We’ll get it out alive,” Grandpa said to me. Then he got the first-aid kit. With some cotton, we dried the blood, cleaned the wound and then put it under a hairdryer to dry. All went smoothly, for the pigeon had no strength left to resist. There happened to be an empty birdcage at home, so I put it in gently and added a little water and some grains. For the next few days, the moment I got home from school, I would run to feed the pigeon. And Grandpa helped a lot, tidying up the cage daily. Little by little, its strength returned. One evening, I fed it with the biscuit I was eating. It enjoyed it! One week later, its wound almost healed (痊愈); its feathers grew and it became brave. Whenever I sat at the table eating biscuits, it looked up at me, cooing (咕咕地叫) constantly. To my joy, I could also reach into the cage to touch it. When I gently fingered its head, it playfully pecked (啄) at me. Finally it completely recovered. But every time I was with it, it seemed restless in the cage. To make it happy and pretty, I tied an orange string (线)around its leg. 注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。 One day, however, when I returned home, Grandpa met me at the door, looking embarrassed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sure enough, I saw a pigeon flying into the house the next afternoon! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
