2023高考英语全国乙卷D篇阅读理解翻译及解析If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Wri ting is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all ofwhom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. How past events should be presented.B. What humanity is concerned about.C. Whether facts speak louder than words.D. Why written language is reliable.13. What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?A. His report was scientific.B. He represented the local people.C. He ruled over Botany Bay.D. His record was one-sided.14. What does the underlined word “conversation” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Problem.B. History.C. V oice.D. Society.15. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?A. How Maps Tell Stories of the WorldB. A Short History of AustraliaC. A History of the World in 100 ObjectsD. How Art Works Tell Stories如果你想讲述整个世界的历史，一段不赋予人类一部分特权的历史，你不能只通过文本来讲述，因为世界上只有一些地区有文本，而世界上大多数地区在大多数时候都没有。

部编版四年级语文上册--阅读理解专题训练2一、快妈妈我的妈妈有个特点，就是不管干什么事都很快。

我管妈妈叫“快妈妈”。

妈妈不是会织毛衣吗？她不知道一年中给大伙织过多少毛衣毛裤。

一次，我家的邻居给别人加工毛衣的前身，结果期限快到了，还剩下十多件毛衣前身没织出来，正在发愁，这事恰巧被妈妈知道了，她便去拿了五件。

回到家里，我对妈妈说：“你拿这么多毛线回来干啥呀？”妈妈微微一笑说：“这几天邻居张阿姨家活紧，我闲着也没事，帮她织毛衣。

”我极不情愿地小声嘟哝：“家里的活就够你忙的了，自找麻烦。

”“看你说的，咱有难处时，邻居们不是都很照顾吗？人帮人图个啥？还不是图个心里踏实吗？你前些天不是还给我讲你们老师告诉你，能给别人做事本身就是一种幸福吗？怎么这么快就忘了？”我不好意思了。

晚饭后，妈妈就不停地织起来。

当我一觉醒来时，妈妈还在“飞针走线”，朦胧中，我看见妈妈的手在飞快地抖动，却辨不出何时“飞针”，何时“走线”，只见线团在变“瘦”，毛衣在“长”长。

不过一天一夜的工夫，妈妈就织了三件，五件活两天的时间就织完了。

你说这不是“快妈妈”吗？妈妈不但织毛衣快，干家务活更快。

一天晚上，邻居张阿姨家里有客，包饺子忙不过来，便叫妈妈帮忙。

这回她算请对人了。

妈妈去了不到一个钟头，饺子就包完了，乐得张阿姨眉开眼笑。

你说，我妈妈够得上是“快妈妈”吧！1．本文是按_____________________的结构方式来写的。

Passage 1 〔目标有三种〕There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.目标有三种：短期目标，中期目标和长期目标。

Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon pleting our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been pleted.短期目标是根据每日制定的为了处理当前事物的目标。

短期目标可以以少于一个星期，一个星期，两个星期，或者可能的话一个月来完成。

2023年考研英语二真题答案之阅读理解Text 2部分Part ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions after each text by choosing A,B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points) Text 2It's easy to dismiss as absurd the federal government's ideas for plugging the chronic funding gap of our national parks. Can anyone really think it's a good idea to allow Amazon deliveries to your tent in Yosemite or food trucks to line up under the redwood trees at Sequoia National Park? But the administration is right about one thing: U.S. national parks are in crisis. Collectively, they have a maintenance backlog of more than $12 billion. Roads, trails, restrooms, visitor centers and other infrastructure are crumbling.But privatizing and commercializing the campgrounds would not be the panacea that the Interior Department's Outdoor Advisory Committee would have us believe. Campgrounds are a tiny portion of the overall infrastructure backlog, and concessionaires in the parks hand over, on average, only about 5% of their revenues to the National Park Service.Moreover. increased privatization would certainly undercut one of the major reasons why 300 million visitors come to the parks each year: to enjoy nature and get a respite from the commercial drumbeat that overwhelms daily life. The real problem is that the parks have been chronically starved of funding. We conducted a comprehensive survey examining how us residents view their national parks. and we found that Americans place a very high value on them whether or not they actually visit them. The peer-reviewed economic survey of 700 U.S taxpayers, conducted by mail and internet, also found that people would be willing to pay a significant amount of money to make sure the parks and their programs are kept intact. Some 81% of respondents said they would be willing to pay additional taxes for the next 10 years to avoid any cuts to the national parks.The national parks provide great value to U.S. residents both as places to escape and as symbols of nature. On top of this, they produce value from their extensive educational programs, their positive impact on the climate through carbon sequestration, their contribution to our cultural and artistic life. and of course through tourism. The parks also help keep America's past alive, working with thousands of local jurisdictions around the country to protect historical sites including Ellis Island and Gettysburg and to bring the stories of these places to life.The parks do all this on a shoestring. Congress allocates onl$3 billion a year tothe national park system an amount that has been flat since 2001 (in inflation-adjusted dollars) with the exception of a onetime boost in 2009 as part of the Obama stimulus package Meanwhile. the number of annual visitors has increased by more than 50% since 1980, and now stands at 330 million visitors per year.26. What problem are U.S. national parks faced with?A. decline of business profitsB. inadequate commercializationC. lack of transportation servicesD. poorly maintained infrastructure【答案】 D27. Increased privatization of the campground may?A. spoil visitor experienceB. help preserve natureC. bring operational pressureD. boost visits to parks【答案】 A28. according to para 5, most respondents in the survey would?A. go to the national parks on a regular basis.B. advocate a bigger budget for the national parksC. agree to pay extra for the national parksD. support the national parks' recent reforms【答案】 C29.The national parks are valuable in that they__.A. lead the way in tourismB. sponsor research on climateC. have historical significanceD. provide an income for the locals【答案】 C.30. It can be concluded from the text that the national park system_A. is able to cope with staff shortagesB. is able to meet visitor' demandsC. is in need of a new pricing policyD. is in need of a funding increase【答案】 D。

2022年考研英语一真题详解阅读理解text2 All around the world，lawyers generate more hostility than the members of any other professionwith the possible exception of journalism. But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.During the decade before the economic crisis，spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money，tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare.There are many reasons for this. One is the excessive costs of a legal education. There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states：a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subject，then a three-year law degree at one of 200 law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam. This leaves todays average law-school graduate with $100，000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that many cannot afford to go into government or non-profit work，and that they have to work fearsomely hard.Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers. Sensible ideas have beenaround for a long time，but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative to implement them. One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraduate degree. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school. If the bar exam is truly a stern enough test for a would-be lawyer，those who can sit it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third.The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia，non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. There is pressure for change from within the profession，but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically.In fact，allowing non-lawyers to own shares in law firms would reduce costs and improve services to customers，by encouraging law firms to use technology and to employ professional managers to focus on improving firms efficiency. After all，other countries，such as Australia and Britain，have started liberalizing their legal professions. America should follow.26. A lot of students take up law astheir profession due to______.[A]the growing demand from clients.[B]the increasing pressure of inflation.[C]the prospect of working in big firms.[D]the attraction of financial rewards.27. Which of the following adds to the costs of legal education in most American states？[A]Higher tuition fees for undergraduate studies.[B] Admissions approval from the bar association.[C] Pursuing a bachelors degree in another major.[D] Receiving training by professional associations.28. Hindrance to the reform of the legal system originates from________.[A]lawyers and clients strong resistance.[B]the rigid bodies governing the profession.[C]the stem exam for would-be lawyers.[D]non-professionals sharp criticism.29. The guild-like ownership structure is considered restrictive partly because it_______.[A]bans outsiders involvement in the profession.[B]keeps lawyers from holding law-firm shares.[C]aggravates the ethical situation in the trade.[D]prevents lawyers from gaining due profits.30. In this text，the author mainly discusses____________.[A]flawed ownership of Americas law firms and its causes.[B]the factors that help make a successful lawyer in America.[C]a problem in Americas legal profession and solutions to it.[D]the role of undergraduate studies in Americas legal education.【参考答案】26、D 27、C 28、B 29、A 30、C【主要内容】本文是是最近几年每年消失的法律学类文章，叙述美国法律界的一些问题及解决方法。

2021年6月英语四级阅读理解〔二〕翻译Some of the world’s most significant problems never hit headlines. One example comes from agriculture. Food riots and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in yields of some of the world’s major crops.A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring。

一些世界上最有影响的问题从不上头条新闻。

其中一个例子就是农业问题。

粮食暴动和饥饿产生新闻，但躺在这些问题背后的趋势却很少被谈及。

这是因为一些世界主要农作物产区的产量在下降。

蒙特利尔的明尼苏达和麦吉尔大学的一项新研究着眼于研究这种正在发生的下降趋势在哪，还有多远。

The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat corn and soybeans(大豆). They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that tood place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s。

阅读理解专项训练试题二一、阅读理解1、Stress may be defined as the response of the body to any demand. Whenever people experience something pleasant or unpleasant, we say they are under stress. We call the pleasant kind eustress, the unpleasant kind distress.People sometimes compare our life with that of the caveman who didn't have to worry about the stock market or the atomic bomb. They forget that the caveman worried about being eaten by a bear or about dying of hunger—things that few people worry about today. It's not that people suffer more stress today; it's just that they think they do.It is inconceivable that anyone should have no stress at all. Most people who are ambitious and want to accomplish something live under stress. They need it. But excessive stress is by all means harmful. Worse, chronic exposure to stress over a long time may cause more serious diseases and may actually shorten your life.The most frequent causes of distress in men are psychological—lack of adaptability, not having a code ofbehaviour. So the secret of coping with stress is not to avoid it, but to do what you like to do and what you are made to do, at your own rate. For most people, it is really a matter of learning how to behave in various situations. The most important thing is to have a code of life, to know how to live The modern man is suffering（）A．more stress than the cavemanB．less stress than the cavemanC．different stress from the cavemanD．the same stress as the caveman2、According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true（）A．Everyone will suffer certain kinds of stress in his life B．Chronic exposure to stress may shorten your lifeC．Excessive stress is especially harmful to healthD．Most people can learn to avoid stress3、In the third sentence of the third paragraph, it refers to（）A．stressB．ambitious peopleC．somethingD．confidence4、According to the passage, one should（）A．try to avoid as much stress as possibleB．cope with stress in different waysC．learn to do things at his own rateD．have the response of the body to any demand5、To be a good manager, you must be careful to distinctly define the proper boundary between yourself and your staff. Here are some points to remember.Be clear about the relationship. To maintain the respect for your employees while being friends with them, you must be direct about the nature of your business relationship. This means being clear about what the goals are, how your employees are to help you reach them, and what they can expect from you. By communicating these things clearly, you avoid the risk that an employee can misinterpret your friendship and behave in an unprofessional manner.Be social—to a degree. In most offices, there's usually a lot of social networking, whether it's a Friday lunch or drinks after work. It's natural for managers to be a part of that. Just remember to socialize with everyone, be careful with alcohol, and don't be the last one at the party. Also, keep socializing at the office to a minimum. You want to ensure that you arerespected as well as liked.Don't fake it. Maybe you want to try to be friends with all your employees, because you think that would strengthen your team. While some management training courses stress that bosses should ask their staff about their personal lives, such as their weekend plans, their families, or their children, such efforts can backfireif the manager is viewed as not sincere. It's okay to ask occasional questions of staff, but don't make a big production out of it. Getting to know people takes timeTo prevent employees from behaving unprofessionally, managers should（）A．show respect for their employees'individual needsB．let them know about their future career developmentC．set short-term and long-term goals for their business D．make them clear about the nature of the business relationship6、According to Paragraph 3, managers are advised（）A．to create a friendly work environment for their staff B．to keep socializing with the employees to a degreeC．to avoid socializing with their employees after work D．to be the first person to a party or to a gathering7、The word backfire in the last paragraph most probably means（）A．strengthen the relationshipB．start a fire in the backyardC．produce an undesired resultD．improve management skills8、The passage is mainly about the importance of（）A．management training courses for employersB．the proper relationship between managers and staffC．setting business goals for both managers and staffD．being a part of social networking for a good manager 9、Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we're the apple of our parents'eye, and that our grandmas think we are great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.The self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself. Thisimage includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be, and thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world. The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don't allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can't move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you are silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you think you are weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you are dull because you don't wear the latest trend, buy a few new clothes.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long waytowards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way You need to build a positive self-image when you（）A．dare to challenge yourselfB．feel it hard to change yourselfC．are unconfident about yourselfD．have a high opinion of yourself10、According to the passage, our self-images（）A．have positive effectsB．are probably untrueC．are often changeableD．have different functions11、What is the passage mainly about（）A．How to prepare for your successB．How to face challenges in your lifeC．How to build a positive self-imageD．How to develop your good qualities12、Who are the intended readers of the passage（）A．ParentsB．AdolescentsC．EducatorsD．People in general13、43.____（）14、44.____（）15、45.____（）16、46.____（）17、47.____（）18、48.____（）19、49.____（）20、50.____（）21、When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry, so they need glasses. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become near-sighted. Then people who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at an arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are notexactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism （散光）. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts（白内障）. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distance. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes When things far away seem blurry, one is probably（）A．near-sightedB．far-sightedC．astigmaticD．suffering from cataracts22、People who suffer from astigmatism have（）A．one eye bigger than the other oneB．eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC．an eye difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD．an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses 23、Some eye problems can be corrected by glasses except （）A．astigmatismB．cataractsC．near-sightednessD．far-sightedness24、Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for （）A．seeing at nightB．seeing objects far awayC．looking over a wide areaD．judging distance25、Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It is an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago, W. Va and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technologies do most of the dangerous mining work.Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuingtrapped miners—the special operations of the mining industry. One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers（激光器） to see in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It's a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and videos and has more sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an obstacle, it gets momentarily confused. It has to think about what to do and where to go next. Sometimes it throws a fitjust like a real person.The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money has dried up, and it's not clear where the future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities（死亡） have declined by 67% and injuries by 51%, according to the National Mining Association.Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much ofthe same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but won't get rid of the need for human workersThe underlined phrase throws a fit in Paragraph 4 probably means （）A．gets angryB．gets sickC．becomes hungryD．becomes cheerful26、We can infer from the last paragraph that（）A．robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry B．there will be no need for human workers in minesC．the mining robots will have a very bright futureD．robots in mines only do some simple jobs now27、We can infer from the passage that（）A．the mining robots do most of the mining work at present B．Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases C．experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous workD．robots cannot do dangerous work in dark areas28、What can be the best title for the passage（）A．Mining Accidents in AmericaB．Robots in MinesC．Cave Crawler, the Latest RobotD．The Future of Robots29、Child maltreatment is a global problem with serious lifelong consequences. There are no reliable global estimates for the prevalence of child maltreatment. Data from many countries, especially low-and middle-income countries, are lacking.Child maltreatment is complex and difficult to study. Current estimates vary widely depending on the country and the method of research used. Nonetheless, international studies reveal that approximately 20% of women and 5% to 10% of men report being sexually abused as children, while 25% to 50% of all children report being physically abused. Additionally, many children are subject to emotional abuse （sometimes referred to as psychological abuse）.Every year, there are about 31,000 homicide deaths in children under 15. This number underestimatesthe true extent of the problem, as a significant proportion of deaths due to child maltreatment are incorrectly attributed to falls, burns and drowning.Child maltreatment causes suffering to children and familiesand can have long-term consequences. Maltreatment causes stress that is associated with disruption in early brain development. Extreme stress can impair the development of the nervous and immune systems. Consequently, as adults, maltreated children are at increased risk for behavioural, physical and mental health problems. Via the behavioural and mental health consequences, maltreatment can contribute to heart disease, cancer, suicide and sexually transmitted infections.Beyond the health consequences of child maltreatment, there is an economic impact, including costs of hospitalization, mental health treatment, child welfare, and longer-term health costs.A number of risk factors for child maltreatment have been identified. These risk factors are not present in all social and cultural contexts, but provide an overview when we attempt to understand the causes of child maltreatment.It is important to emphasize that children are the victims and are never to blame for maltreatment. A number of characteristics of an individual child may increase the likelihood of being maltreated, such as being either under four years old or an adolescent, being unwanted, failing to fulfill the expectations of parents and having special needs, cryingpersistently or having abnormal physical featuresThe word underestimates in Paragraph 3 means（）A．exaggeratesB．points outC．assumesD．miscalculates30、Child maltreatment can bring all the following consequences EXCEPT（）A．stressB．suicideC．heart diseaseD．poor memory31、How many aspects are included in the economic consequences due to child maltreatment（）A．Costs of hospitalization and mental health treatment B．Child welfare and longer-term health costsC．Tuition feesD．Both A and B32、Children are more likely to be maltreated if they（） A．cry a lotB．are not good-lookingC．are over 4 years oldD．are quiet33、43.____（）34、44.____（）35、45.____（）36、46.____（）37、47.____（）38、48.____（）39、49.____（）40、50.____（）41、After a day's hard work, we need some sleep. During the sleep, the fatigue of the body disappears and recuperation （恢复） begins. The tired mind gathers new energy, and the memory improves.Some adults require little sleep; others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four hours. Infants sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily, the amount gradually diminishing as they grow older. Young students may need twelve hours; university students may need ten. A worker with a physically demanding job may also need ten, whereas an executive working under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people havelittle sleep. Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Edison and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night. Whatever your individual need is, you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine: a favorite hour, a favorite bed, a favorite position, and a rule you need to follow in order to rest comfortably. Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours—nearly five days. Whatever the limit is, it is absolute. Animals that kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a weekBy writing this passage, the writer intends to tell us that （）A．sleep is important for good healthB．a light sleep is as restful as a deep sleepC．memory is improved during sleepD．sleep is relatively unimportant for human beings42、From the amount of sleep Napoleon, Edison, and Darwin required, we can conclude（）A．that they were famousB．that they were executivesC．that they were intelligentD．none of the above43、The amount of sleep required may（）A．tire an individual's mindB．help infants grow olderC．apply pressure to an executiveD．depend on an individual's age44、The author implies that if human beings are kept awake for more than a week the result（）A．is hard to imagineB．will probably be a mental breakdownC．is difficult to describeD．will probably be death45、A Language Programme for TeenagersWelcome to Teenagers Abroad!

The stone sculpture of Dai Ailian is one of them.Dai Ailian was born in Trinidad, an independent republic in the West Indies, in 1916, with her forefathers living abroad for many years. In 1930, she went to London to study dance. Many famous dancers such as Anton Dolin, Rudolf Laban and Mary Wigman were her teachers. Though ballet and modern dance were not well connected at that time, Dai Ailian learned both of them. This is of great significance for her later development.Dai Ailian returned to her homeland in 1939 after the Anti-Japanese War broke out. She gave benefit performances in Hong Kong and on the mainland. Major programs such as Homesick Melody, Selling, Wheat Gleaning Girl and Story of the Guerrill all showed sympathy for the poor and concern over the nation's fate.Dai Ailian's art career entered a golden period after the founding of the People's Republic of China. She became the first president of the National Dance Troupe, the first headmistress of the Beijing Dancing School and the director and advisor of the Central Ballet Troupe. Her representative works were group dances called Lotus and Flying Apsaras presented in Berlin and Warsaw in 1953 and 1955 and won her awards.Dai Ailian always says, Ballet is my work while folk dance is my greatest pleasure. Her love for Chinese dance led to her efforts. Meanwhile, she introduced the essence of Western dance to China. For this reason, she was regarded as a qualified person to link up Chinese and Western dance culturesWhy is the stone sculpture of Dai Ailian displayed in the hall of the British Royal Academy of Dance（）A．Because of her noticeable contributionsB．Because she was good at sculptureC．Because she studied in the British Royal Academy of Dance D．Because of her love for her motherland50、What is very important to her later development（）A．The fact that many famous dancers were her teachersB．Learning both ballet and modern danceC．Her experience of living abroadD．Her education in London51、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage（）A．During the Anti-Japanese War she sold her storiesB．At the age of 23, she returned to China to give benefit performancesC．After the founding of the People's Republic of China she stopped dancingD．She was the first headmistress of the China Dance School 52、Which was her representative work after the founding of the PRC（）A．Flying ApsarasB．Homesick MelodyC．Wheat Gleaning GirlD．Selling53、43.____（）54、44.____（）55、45.____（）56、46.____（）57、47.____（）58、48.____（）59、49.____（）60、50.____（）61、43.____（）62、44.____（）63、45.____（）64、46.____（）65、47.____（）66、48.____（）67、49.____（）68、50.____（）参考答案：【一、阅读理解】1~5CDACD6~10BCBCB11~68点击下载查看答案。
