AI am an active playgoer and play-reader，and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play. Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家)hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection，for that would，indeed，ruin the pleasure of reading，discussing，and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However，a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy，satire，poignant drama，historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面性)of the short play，I have included a guidance play，a radio play and a television play.Among the writers of the plays in this collection，Paul Green，Susan Glaspell，Maxwell Anderson，Thornton Wilder，William Saroyan，and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.To get the most out of reading these plays，try to picture the play on stage，with you，the reader，in the audience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open，and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.21. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A. He has written dozens of plays.B. He has a deep love for the theater.C. He is a professional stage actor.D. He likes reading short plays to others.22. What does the author avoid doing in his work?A. Stating the plays' central ideas.B. Selecting works by famous playwrights.C. Including various types of plays.D. Offering information on the playwrights.23. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?A. Control their feelings.B. Apply their acting skills.C. Use their imagination.D. Keep their audience in mind.24. What is this text?A. A short story.B. An introduction to a book.C. A play review.D. An advertisement for a theater.BThe traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue，Washington，generally don't flash the same length of green twice in a row，especially at rush hour. At9：30am，the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9：33am，a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9：37am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself，the timing of the signals changes.That is by design. Bellevue，a fast-growing city，just east of Seattle，uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US：intersection(十字路口)signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. These lights，known as adaptive signals，have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.“Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed，”says Alex Stevanovic，a researcher at Florida Atlantic University.For all of Bellevue's success，adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways. Kevin Balke，a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute，says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities，others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make ameaningful difference. “It's not going to fix everything, but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities,”he says.In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches. In the past, there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic: just widen the roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue Transportation Department's traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger.25. What does the underlined word “that”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Increased length of green lights.B. Shortened traffic signal cycle.C. Flexible timing of traffic signals.D. Smooth traffic flow on the road.26. What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals?A. ' They work better on broad roads.B. They should be used in other cities.C. They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.D. They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed.27. What can we learn from Bellevue's success?A. It is rewarding to try new things.B. The old methods still work today.C. I pays to put theory into practice.D. The simplest way is the best way.CChallenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking，planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age，a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests. Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1，000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers' memory and thinking skills through a battery of tests. Then，for eight years，the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests.Those who had held mentally stimulating(刺激)，demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose cognitive(认知)function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants' overall health status.“This works just like physical exercise，”says Francisca Then，who led the study. “After a long run，you may feel like you're in pain，you may feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work-sure，you will feel tired，but it can help your brain stay healthy. ”It's not just corporate jobs，or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit，Then points out. A waiter's job，for example，that requires multitasking，teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And “running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating(协调)，”she says. “You have to organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries.Of course，our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons-including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still，continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help.28. Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests?A. To assess their health status.B. To evaluate their work habits.C. To analyze their personality.D. To measure their mental ability.29. How does Francisca Then explain her findings in paragraph 4?A. By using an expert's words.B. By making a comparison.C. By referring to another study.D. By introducing a concept.30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Retired Workers Can Pick Up New SkillsB. Old People Should Take Challenging JobsC. Your Tough Job Might Help Keep You SharpD. Cognitive Function May Decline As You Age第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。

AYou arrive at the mall anxious to buy your favorite CD or the coolest video game. Nothing will stop you, not even the price—even if you don’t have enough money, Mom or Dad will take out a credit card to pay. But wait! Is using a credit card really that simple?Using a credit card is a way of borrowing money to buy things. Credit card companies lend you money, which you are expected to pay back. They don’t lend you money just to be nice, however. In fact, they make billions of dollars from those loans.Let’s say you want a CD and a new pair of jeans, but y ou don’t have the $45 they cost. So instead, you charge them on a credit card. About a month later, the credit card company sends you a bill for $45 for the things you bought. If you pay the whole $45 right away, then using the credit card didn’t cost you anything. But what if you can’t pay the whole bill? Let’s say you pay $10 the first month. Now the credit card company begins to earn money from you. They charge extra money, called interest, on whatever part of the money you didn’t pay. Now the $35 you still owe on your bill begins to grow. Even if you don’t charge anything more on the credit card, by the time you get your bill the following month, you will owe more than $35. And every day, interest keeps adding up. So if you continue to pay just a small amount of the money you owe each month, those jeans and CD will end up costing you more than the $45 you thought you paid when you bought them.Some people get themselves in trouble with credit cards by charging more than they can afford to pay back. Knowing how to use credit wisely will help you to be a smart “charger” as well as a smart shopper.21.What’s the purpose of writing paragraph 1?A.To draw readers’ attention to the popularity of credit cards.B.To explain the reasons for the frequent use of credit cards.C.To appeal to more people to use credit cards constantly.D.To warn readers of the hidden danger of using credit cards.22.What’s paragraph 3 mainly about?A.What items people can buy with a credit card.B.What will happ en if people can’t pay back the money.C.How a credit card company make profits from its users.D.How people pay back the money after using credit cards.23.Which view does the author want to convey?A.Remember to pay the whole bill the first month.B.Only charge what you can afford when using credit.e credit cards less often or you’ll get into trouble.D.Be a smart shopper and never borrow money to buy things.BVillavicencio, a shabby city of half a million people, considers itself the city of half a gateway to los llanos, Colombia’s eastern plains. Now and for the next few months few people will be passing through it. Mudslides(泥石流)since May have blocked the main highway, the Vaí al Llano, which connects the city to Bogotá, Colombia’s capital. More rocks and mud threaten workers trying to unblock the road, along which two-thirds of domestically produced goods are transported. Colombia’s government says this could take up to three months.Residents of Villavicencio and the surrounding plains are beginning to feel the consequences. Potatoes, garlic and eggs have become scarce in grocery stores. Shoppers hunt through produce bins to find the few tomatoes and carrots that have not rotted. More than 90% of hotel reservations in the plains region have been cancelled.Colombia is a road-builder’s nightmare. The Andes(安第斯山脉)separate into three ranges at the southern border. The mountains can climb to 4,000 metres from sea level in less than 100km. Colombia gets more rain than any other country in the world, which makes it harder to keep the road in good condition. Short of cash, the government has given private firms special rights to build roads. Vaí al Llano, among the earliest projects built in this way, are likely to cause accidents.To relieve los llanos’s isolation(隔离), Satena, a state-owned airline, and EasyFly have announced more flights between Bogotá and Villavicencio. The government has currently stopped passenger fees on flights between the cities. Goods can get through on two smaller alternative roads and money paid to use the two roads will be halved. But what the plains need most is a road that can cope with Colombia’s dangerous, rain-soaked topography(地形). That goes for much of the rest of the country.24.We can learn from the text that the highway the Vaí al Llano .A.is considered half a gateway to los llanosB.connects los llanos and Colombia’s capitalC.has been blocked by Mudslides since MayD.won’t be unblocked by workers until May25.What does the underlined word “scarce” probably mean?A. Available.B. Inadequate.C. Organic.D. Affordable.26.Why is Colombia said to be a road-builder’s nightmare?A.It’s surrounded by mountains of different height in the south.B.The continuous rain makes the construction of roads difficult.C.The government lacks money to build and repair roads.D.Car accidents are more likely to take place in Colombia.27.According to the author, what’s the best solution to los llanos’s isolation?A.Providing more flights between Bogotáand Villavicencio.B.Cancelling passenger fees on flights between the cities.C.Charging less money for using the two alternative roads.D.Constructing a proper road that can survive the situation.CIt’s early in the morning and I’ve hardly caught any shuteye. My breakfast of scrambled eggs and strong coffee will keep me alert(警觉的)before lunch. After lunch, I’ll brace myself for an afternoon of yawning and feeling bad-tempered in the office. But I’m not alone. We all seem to be yawning more often. Are we turning into a generation of insomniacs(失眠症患者)? How is modern life affecting our sleep patterns?We can start by blaming the light bulb and other forms of artificial illumination. Experts say that on average people go to bed and wake up two hours later than the previous generation. Then, there are the computers. Research led by Professor Charles Czeisler of Harvard Medical School has shown that people who read electronic books before going to bed take longer to nod off. They have lower levels of melatonin — the hormone that regul ates our body’s internal clock. And they’re less alert in the morning.Professor Czeisler said, “In the past 50 years, there’s been a decline in average sleep duration and quality. Since more people are choosing electronic devices for reading, communication and entertainment, particularly children and adolescents who already experience significant sleep loss, research evaluating the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed.”So the first thing to do if you want to have a restful night is to leave computers out of the bedroom. Avoid alcohol, as it might reduce our cycles of REM sleep —this is the “rapid eye movement” sleep, when our brains process the information we received during the day. It disrupts( 紊乱 )your brain activity. And don’t eat nuts, bacon and cheese in the evening. They contain a substance which causes the release of a brain stimulant(刺激物).After that, if you still can’t sleep, start counting sheep. Maybe that’s the best technique to avoid another afternoon of yawning in the office.28.What can we learn from Professor Czeisler’s research?A.The light bulb is to blame for people’s poor sleeping habits.B.Those falling asleep late usually have lower levels of melatonin.C.Children suffer from sleep loss mainly due to electronic devices.D.It’s been proved that electronic devices have lasting impacts on health.29.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The intake of alcohol.B. The frequent use of the computer.C. The decline in the cycle of REM sleep.D. The information processed in the brain.30.What might be the best title of this text?A. Sleeplessness in the 21st CenturyB. Rapid Eye Movement SleepC. Research into Electronic DevicesD. Techniques to Avoid Y awning第二节：（共5 个小题；每小题2 分，满分10 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。
