Ballet as a charming dance form has fascinated audiences for many years．It is a form of dance that combines beauty and grace to tell a story in‘a dance form．Generally performed in theatres，ballet has always been a favored dream of many little girls．While ballet dancers need to work very hard for many years to perform in a professional ballet company，this does not discourage the gifts．
Many people think that ballet originated in France，due to the ballet steps that all have French names．However，ballet can be traced back to Italy during the Renaissance period of the l 400 s．矾ile this was really just a pioneer to the classical ballet，the dances performed in Italy during this time led to the further development of ballet in France．The first ballet company arose in France and was called The Queen's Ballet Company．
In the l 800 s the romantic style of ballet appeared，thanks in part to the ballet La Sylphide．La Sylphide made much use of the toe dancing technique,and brought about many changes to ballet．
A1l romantic ballets focused on women and this encouraged women to take on increasingly to become ballerinas．While ballet prospered in other nations，it started declining in France．The decline could．be be．cause ballet was seen as being very other worldly with mythical(神话的)steps．
The shift from mythical steps to more reasonable style that could be co-related to human movements came about in the ninetieth century．This was because of the many different styles of dance that were becoming increasingly popular．1he change that started in the twentieth century continues to transform ballet even today where it mixes different styles of dance．
Some ballets today have even gone so far as to combine another style of dance into the ballet．In l 944 a ballet was introduced called Fancy Free that use Jazz dance with the ballet steps to create a revolutionary ballet，and it was well received．
With time，ballet has developed and changed in many forms．A.ballet by professionals continues to charm audiences despite the tact that most of US cannot even dream of performing most of the steps and moves of a ballet dancer．
25·It can be inferred from the first graph that______
A．ballet dancers are all beautiful little girl
B.·it’s not easy to be a。professional ballet dancer
C·many girls dream to perform dancing in theaters
D．it takes many years to set up a ballet company
26．Why do people think ballet comes from France ?
A·Because Frenchmen introduced ballet to Italy．
B.·Because Frenchmen created many ballet steps．
C.·Because the ballet steps are all named in French．
D . Because the first ballet company was founded in France．
27．When did the romantic ballet appear7
A·In the l4th century．
B．In the l5th century．
C.．In the l 9th century．
D．In the 21st century

With tomatoes at one end and potatoes at the other，it looks like another strange product from Frankenstein food laboratory．The fictional Swiss scientists is the main character in an l 8 1 8 novel written by Mary Shelley；he created a monster from parts of dead bodies.
But far from being the latest genetically modified(转基因的）plant，this wonder is entirely natural．Called the TomTat0，each plant can produce more than 500 sweet cherry tomatoes as well as a good crop of white potatoes．It is produced using a hi-tech grafting (嫁接)process and was shown to the public yesterday before going on sale to gardeners in the UK for the first time．
However，the project took a lot longer to bear fruit than the plant does．It began l 5 years ago when Paul Hansord，horticultural (园艺)director of mail order gardening company Thompson＆Morgan，was on a trip to the US．He spotted a potato plant growing separately under a tomato plant and learned that it is possible to graft the two together because they belong to the same family．
It has been demanding to achieve the TomTato because the tomato stem and the potato stem have to be the same thickness．So that the two can be joined together perfectly．But after a process of trial and error，Thompson＆Morgan has worked out a method using a variety of potato that produces the right size shoot．“The TomTato has been trialed for several years and the result is far superior to anything I could have hoped for，a plant full of tomatoes which have a taste that makes shop tomatoes less delicious，as well as，a good crop of potatoes，"Mr Hansord said．
“Each TomTato plant is specially grafted by hand to create this unique double cropping feature．"He added，“It’s an all natural and safe process”
The TomTato can be grown inside or outside as long as they are in a large pot or bag，says Thompson＆Morgan．It is selling the plants from next spring for￡14．99 each．
29．Thompson＆Morgan's creation of the TomTato was inspired by
A．an l 8 1 8 novel written by Mary Shelley
B．Hansom's visit to a garden in the USA
C·an experiment on cherry potatoes
D．A new hi-tech grafting tomatoes
30．The biggest trouble in developing the TomTato is how to______
A．find tomatoes and potatoes with thick stems
B．1et the tomato and the potato join together
C．make the tomato and the potato more delicious
D．produce more tomatoes and potatoes meanwhile
31．What was Mr Hansord's attitude towards the TomTato?
A．Quite satisfied
B．Very doubtful
C．A bit interested
D．Slightly worried
32．What can we learn about the TomTato?
A．It can only be planted in the garden．
B．It has been researched for about five years．
C．It has nothing to do with genetical modification
D．It is on sale in the United Kingdom at present
