The Globe Theatre,Britain The theatre we know today is a 1997 reconstruction,yet its story reaches back much further. The original Globe was raised in 1599 by a company of actors that counted William Shakespeare among its members,.and it burned down in 1613 when a stage cannon set its thatch(茅草屋顶) alight.The rebuilt version keeps the open-air yard where groundlings(站票观众)once stood to watch the performance for a penny. The Palau de la Musica Catalana,Spain This concert hall opened in 1908 and was recognised by UNESCO a century later.Lluis Domenech i Montaner,the architect behind it,filled the interior with mosaic (columns and a reversed glass dome (so that daylight could pour in from above.Visitors can walk through the building during the day,but they have to leave before rehearsals and performances begin. The National Theatre,China Completed in 2007 for the capital's performing arts festival,this theatre stands on Chang'an Avenue and holds three halls under a single shell.Its design borrowed from traditional gardens, where a corridor turns unexpectedly to reveal a new view.Evenings there can feel crowded,yet the halls themselves are quiet once the doors close. 21.Which of the four theatres has the longest history? A.The Globe Theatre. B.The National Theatre. C.The Theatre of Epidaurus. D.The Palau de la Musica. 22.What can visitors do in the Spanish concert hall? A.Watch a play for a penny. B.Attend rehearsals in the morning. C.Hear a coin from the last row. D.Tour the hall before the show. 23.What do the Globe and the Chinese theatre share? A.Both are used for summer plays B.Both draw on ideas from the past. C.Both were designed by famous actors. D.Both have a dome of coloured glass. B Ten years ago I travelled with a folder full of printouts:flight numbers,hostel addresses,bus timetables.Every hour of that summer had an owner.Somewhere in the middle of the trip I stopped opening it,and I have not carried one since. Going without an itinerary has its costs.I have spent a night on a station bench,and I have paid twice for a room I never reached.However,what it gives back is harder to price.If nothing is fixed,nothing has to be protected.When another traveller told me about a village where the market ran only on Mondays,I could stay unitil Monday.Had those days already belonged to a train,I would have looked at the country through a window. Yet I can see why most first-time travellers write everything down.A hotel room is not something you want to hunt for at eleven at night,and a schedule does keep that worry at a distance. When your leave is short,every hour feels expensive,and a plan offers a kind of guarantee that the hours will be used. Still,a trip is measured by what it leaves behind rather than by how much it holds.One afternoon on a step in Lisbon,watching a man repair a shoe for three hours,taught me more about the city than five museums did in two days.I could not have planned that afternoon,but I could have made it impossible. So I do keep one small habit.Before leaving.I write down the one thing I came for,and after that I let the days arrange themselves.Being half-prepared turns out to be enough:the nights are booked,the mornings are not. 24.How did the author travel ten years ago? A.With every hour of the trip assigned. B.With nothing booked in advance. C.With a group of fellow travellers. D.With no more than a phone. 25.Why does the author mention the Monday market? A.To prove that rural markets are worth a visit. B.To show what a fixed plan would have taken away. C.To advise travellers to follow local customs. D.To explain why he stopped travelling by train. 26.What is the author's attitude towards first-time travellers'planning? A.He regards it as a waste of time. B.He finds it easy to give up. C.He understands their worries. D.He doubts whether it works. 27.What can we infer about the author's present travel habits? A.He fixes nights but leaves days open. B.He books nothing before arriving C.He follows a full plan in advance. D.He travels to see old friends. Q For most of human history the night sky was simply the sky.Now it is something people travel to find.Satellite readings show that the brightness of the sky above a given place has been climbing year on year,and in the most developed regions hardly anyone can see the Milky Way at all.The response has been a new kind of holiday:go where the lights are off. Interest grew sharply during the years when travel was restricted(受限制的).Shut indoors, people pointed cameras upward and shared the results.Dark-sky parks recorded a jump in visits that has not fallen back since.Tourism boards noticed,and several regions that had little to offer visitors now advertise their emptiness instead of apologising for it. Rural economies have welcomed the change.A park that once attracted a few hundred hikers a season may now sell out its cabins in the months when nights are longest.Taxi drivers,cooks and cleaners all gain.The costs are quieter but real:bedrooms stay lit for guests who like to read late, and one bright car park can undo the darkness a village has kept for centuries Not everyone is convinced that travel is the answer.Flying long distances to see a dark sky adds to the emissions that dim (it in the first place,critics point out.Others argue that the more effective route is duller:simply switch off.Fixing a streetlamp so that it points down rather than sideways costs little and restores the view for everyone who already lives there. Both sides agree on one point.Looking up is not a hobby so much as a reminder of scale )and reminders of scale are in short supply.Few people return from a night under a clear sky describing how impressive they found themselves. 28.What made dark-sky parks suddenly popular? A.The falling price of telescopes. B.The growth of rural taxi services. C.The rise in satellite readings. D.The travel limits of a few years ago. 29.What does the underlined word"undo"in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Destroy the effect of. B.Take the place of. C.Add to the value of. D.Make up for the loss of. 30.What is the critics'main objection to stargazing holidays? A.They remain out of reach for most families. B.They cause damage while trying to prevent it. C.They draw visitors away from richer regions. 5 D.They make villages give up their traditions. 31.What do the two sides in the debate share? A.A doubt about whether dark skies can be restored. B.A wish to limit the number of overnight guests. C.A belief that looking up changes how we see ourselves. D.A plan to turn streetlamps off in every village. D Your next jacket may be brewed (rather than woven.A research group has shown that microbes(微生物)can turn sugar water into a sheet of coloured fabric(织物)，skipping the two noisiest steps of ordinary textile (production:spinning oil into thread and dyeing it afterwards. The work started from a simple mismatch.Polyester is made from petroleum ()colours come from chemicals,and both processes are energy-hungry and hard on water.Microbes,by contrast,can build long-chain polymers from sugar and can also manufacture pigment (as they grow.If the two abilities could be housed in one vat,the factory would shrink to a tank. The partnership did not go 'smoothly at first.When the two strains (shared a tank,one simply outgrew the other:the culture either produced plenty of fibre with no colour,or colour with almost no fibre.The team's answer was to separate the two jobs in time,letting one strain establish itself before the second was introduced,and to adjust the acidity so that neither could gain the upper hand. To test whether the result was usable,the sheets were boiled,rubbed against a standard white cloth,and soaked in sweat and detergent ()Most shades held,and the reds and blues lost less colour than commercial dyes in the rub test.Cost is the harder problem.The sheets are far too expensive to compete with petroleum fabric,and scaling up a tank is not the same as scaling up a vat. "Technology rarely decides these things on its own,"the lead researcher said."What decides is whether a shopper will pay a little more for a jacket that was grown rather than made."Until then, the microbes will keep working in the lab,quietly producing colours no one has worn yet. 32.What advantage do the microbes offer over conventional textile production? A.They grow faster than cotton plants. B.They make better use of pure sugar. C.They need no water while growing. D.They combine two steps into one. 6 33.What can be inferred about the two strains from Paragraph 3? A They grew best at different temperatures.B.They produced exactly the same shade. C.They could hardly share a single tank D.They were'too weak to make any fibre. 34.What can be inferred about the future of the fabric from the last paragraph? A.Its price will soon fall below that of petroleum cloth. B.Its success depends largely on how shoppers value it. C.Its production will move out of the lab within a year. D.Its researchers have given up on solving the cost problem. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.A Jacket Grown,Not Woven B.A Dye That Never Fades C.Clothes Made from Microbes D.A Future Without Dyes 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A dog that seems clever is usually a dog that has been taught,and the teaching does not take special equipment.Most owners already spend the needed time talking to their pets;what they lack is a way to make that time count.36 Keep sessions(训练时段)timy. Fifteen minutes once a week will not teach a dog much,but three minutes four times a day will.Attention in dogs runs out long before their willingness does,and a session that ends while the animal is still eager leaves a better impression than one that drags on ()37 Left too long,the same lesson turns into a chore for both of you. Give the command a sign. Dogs read bodies much more easily than they read voices.A hand raised flat,a palm turning over,a finger pointed at a cushion ()-these are remembered with surprising accuracy. 38 Words said alone tend to be lost in a room full of noise. 39 A dog connects a reward only with what happened in the last second or two.Feed a biscuit three minutes after the animal sits and you are rewarding whatever it happens to be doing then. Time the reward carefully,and a single lesson is often enough. Put words to work. Once a sign is reliable,,give it a name and use that name consistently(始终如一地).Say“wait” every time the door is about to open,and the word stops being a sound and becomes a warning. Vocabulary grows from repetition in the same situation.40 Before long,"wait"will do the whole job by-itself. A.Soon the sign alone will get the same response. B.A few habits,practised steadily,are enough to bring it out. C.Reward the dog on time. D.Training a dog is mostly about repeating a single lesson. E.Stop while the dog is still trying,and it will come back for more. F.Start the training early. G.Bodies carry meaning that a voice alone cannot deliver. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项，并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。 Leo Reed wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school.When the other kids began to 41 this,Reed,a freshman at high school,became the 42 of taunts ()There was little Reed could do to 43 the situation,though.His mother simply couldn't 44 to buy him new clothes.
