ATake one step closer to the lights on Broadway－build essential theater skills and start carving out your own creative professional path.Immersing themselves in the amazing,unparalleled New York theater scene,students will explore and analyze the craft,including creating an original piece and meeting professionals in the field.Throughout the term,students will use both classroom work and site visits around the downtown to examine and complete the creative process of taking an initial idea to production,gaining technical expertise(专业知识)and fluency in theater.Students will also explore different areas of professional skill development,including playwriting structure and techniques,acting methods that help bring a play to life,scene structure.The course is open to all students－from those who are curious about the field but have no prior experience to those who already have one(or more!) plays,waiting to be developed.Course Highlights●Complete a hands-on experience in playwriting,acting and production,learning about the real processes the industry uses to create theater productions.●Brainstorm,develop a concept,write and workshop a draft of a short play or scene,and bring it to stage with input and feedback from instructors and peers.●Get a close-up view of the often-opaque(不透明的)business of theater,focusing on impacts to the profession brought about by social movements and current events.Tuition*●Residential Program(Students live in dorm-like facilities in the center of the city):$6,845●Day Program(Students commute to class every day and do not receive accommodation and board):$5,560(We encourage graduating seniors to apply before June21,2024for a$425discount on tuition.)Term Date:July21－Aug2,2024Application Deadline:Friday,July12,2024Contact Admission:*We believe financial circumstances should not prevent someone from joining our program.Explore financial aid and scholarships.Learn More1.Which is the probably name of the course?A.Broadway Dreams:Essential Skills for Professional PathB.Theater Industry:Gaining Insights into the Complex SystemC.Backstage Exploration:Behind the Scene of Drama CreationD.From Page to Stage:Playwriting,Performance and Production2.What will students do in the course?A.Interact with Broadway actors.B.Polish original drafts for stage.C.Seek inspiration in the suburbs.D.Write a review on their drama.3.How much should a graduating senior applying for a Day Program on June20,2024pay?A.$5,135B.$5,560C.$6,420D.$6,845BIn Bududa,a lush yet landslide-prone district of eastern Uganda,Mary Butsina and a growing number of other women farmers are building their livelihoods around coffee.“I’m supporting all of my10children with it.”says the 36-year-old,holding a red bucket.From farming stock,Mary first went to work with her father at the age of10.Profits from his coffee crop covered her school fees.She married into coffee too,with her husband giving her100trees as a wedding present. But Mary’s since planted more than300herself and joined a women’s cooperative.“The aim was to reduce the dependence of women on men in coffee.”Mary says,though husbands are allowed to join too—as they tend to own the coffee plantations and support their wives.“More women have started to plant their own coffee.”she says.Mary rises early every day to pick the coffee cherries.“It’s hard work but when you concentrate it can become easy.”says Mary.After gathering the ripe fruit,she puts it in a bucket of water to weed out the unhealthy cherries. The beans are then fermented(发酵)in water for at least two days before being laid out to dry in direct sunlight. Once dried,the beans are gathered up and later collected by Endiro Coffee,a social enterprise working with women-led,organic farms.The coffee is later milled,roasted and ground,ready for use.It hasn’t been an easy journey for the Bududa farmers,who’ve faced annual landslides for the past15years.In 2018,Mary’s mother’s house was destroyed and she lost some of her coffee plantations.She dreams of living in a solidly built house with water nearby,so she doesn’t have to trek(跋涉)a long way to fetch it－but these will take time to save for.“I’ve worked a lot and I don’t want to stop,but I want my money to work for me.”she says.4.What role does coffee play in Mary’s hometown?A.A significant source of income.B.A bond of love and marriage.C.A symbol of wealth and status.D.A barrier to frequent landslides.5.How does the women’s cooperative benefit female coffee farmers?A.By providing them with high quality trees.B.By accessing them to better sales channels.C.By liberating them from their husbands.D.By enabling them to control their business.6.Why is the processing of coffee beans mentioned in Paragraph3?A.To display Mary’s technical proficiency.B.To prove the high quality of Ugandan coffee.C.To highlight Mary’s dedication and diligence.D.To emphasize the difficulties of planting coffee.7.What does Mary mean in the last sentence of the text?A.She plans to expand her coffee planting business.B.She desires to achieve economic independence.C.She thinks the road to happiness is still distant.D.She believes her hard work will finally pay off.CA good story.That’s what influences our choice to buy a book the most.Right?Some of the biggest-selling novels of all time just so happened to be attached to major publishers.Indeed,any reading lover will be familiar with the countless publishing houses that have brought brilliant works to the market.So in theory,perhaps a publisher does matter.Every time you read a book that you enjoy,you likely look at the publisher attached to it.That name is a signal that they will produce other content that fits with that same style.It makes a lot of sense to continue to purchase texts from a company that is telling the kinds of stories that you enjoy the most.Consumer habits are thus based on trust that a publisher will be consistent in the books they deliver and that investing time in them is more reliable than an untested source.The strength of the author themselves can also play into that.After all,well-liked authors are often signed to a book deal with a select few publishers,strengthening the brand further.Of course,a publisher would be nothing without its logo,which is a major call-to-arms for all fans of the brand.The top publishers in the world instantly recognizable imagery,which catch the attention while summing up the name of a brand in an instant.That thus builds our association with a given name.The fun penguin shape of Penguin Random House is so iconic,for example,that it could not be confused with any other publishing business.There might be a place for those indie(独立经营的)book companies,with occasional stories breaking through and forcing people to take notice.In truth that’s far less common than you expect.Expert Cassandra Davis,however,provides a hopeful insight.“Indie bookshops are more likely to stock an indie publisher’s books, especially if the author is local to the bookshop.”She says.Therefore,supporting local bookshops is a vital way to keep the indie industry alive and change these trends.8.Which of the following is not a strategy for a publisher to promote its brand?A.Maintaining consistent publishing style.B.Contracting with renowned writers.C.Offering discounts to repeat customers.D.Designing a distinctive trademark.9.What is the author’s attitude towards indie publishers?A.Optimistic.B.Sympathetic.C.Objective.D.Indifferent.10.What does the underlined words“these trends”in the last paragraph refer to?A.Dominance of major publishers.ck of attention to excellent books.C.Depression of local bookshops.D.Stability of consumers’preferences.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Should We Judge a Book by Its Publisher?B.Do Publishers Influence Our Reading Choices?C.Why Do We Choose the Same Publisher Continuously?D.What Advantages Do Major Publishers Have Over Indie Ones?DHumans act with purpose,but much is still unknown about how we become purposeful agents—that is,how we develop the ability to willfully make things happen.In a recent study to explore agency’s mysterious roots,we tried to catch infants(婴儿)in the act of discovering their own agency,thereby revealing the process of agency formation.Researchers place a baby into a cradle with a mobile suspended above.Then a scientist ties one end of a string to the mobile and the other to the infant’s foot.Now if the baby moves,the toy will,too.By observing babies in this setup,scientists can watch as the infants learn and recall a simple cause-and-effect interaction:kick a foot and the mobile moves.As predicted by the researchers,infants kicked significantly more when their foot was tethered(拴住)to the mobile than when it was not.However,when an experimenter pulled the string to make the mobile move instead, infants moved less than when the mobile was at rest.Furthermore,when we freed the babies’foot from the mobile, they kept on kicking at higher rate to make the toy respond—and were visibly frustrated when that did not happen.Our observations also pointed to a notable pattern:The babies’initial movements consisted of twisting andpushing without clear direction.But once tethered to the mobile,the more intensely they moved,the more their attention was drawn to the effect their kicking had on it.At some point,the infants must have figured out that they had agency,thus the aimless movements became intentional action—a highly coordinated exchange between the tethered infant and the mobile.The baby-mobile study emphasizes how understanding the relationship between an organism and its environment is essential to uncovering the origins of directed behavior.The experience of agency emerges only when an organism senses it is coupled to its environment.In this way of thinking,the interaction and relationship between the two are crucial for purpose to arise.12.What can we learn about agency according to the text?A.It is an inborn ability without learning.B.It embodies in babies the most evidently.C.It exists in all aspects of our daily life.D.It is a resonance with our surroundings.13.How did the researchers make the experiment convincing?A.By predicting multiple possible results.B.By tracking babies’behaviour precisely.C.By setting up comparative experiments.D.By building proper interpretation model.14.What does Paragraph4mainly talk about?A.Analysis of experimental phenomena.B.Supplement to experimental details.C.Explanation of experimental design.D.Summary of experimental outcomes.15.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To uncover the process of agency formation.B.To report a cutting-edge discovery about agency.C.To guide people on how to take advantage of agency.D.To clarify the importance of environment to creatures.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night -- her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission(使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.24.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was .A. honestB. caringC. talentedD. modest25.After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton .A. joined the army and fought bravelyB. went to Europe for further studyC. continued to work as a teacherD. did a lot to help soldiers26.Seeing Clara Barton’s arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt .A. excited and gratefulB. proud and joyfulC. shy and nervousD. sad and sorry27.What is mainly described in Paragraph 5?A. The aim of the American Red CrossB. The importance of voluntarydonationsC. Clara Barton and the American Red Cross D Clara Barton’s contribution to the Civil WarCMany people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes.
