25、   People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance. Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the number of people going to watch modern dance companies is also larger. And perhaps the most popular modern dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert.

The Ballet Rambert is Britain’s oldest dance company which began in 1926. In the 1960s, the company didn’t have enough money to put on big performances. The directors wanted to encourage new dancers and to keep up their high standards.

A change of direction was necessary. They decided to give the ballet a “new look” in 1966. The aim was to provide a chance for new talent—for musicians and designers as well as dancers—and to show dance as a modern art form. And although some of the company’s fans disliked the change, new audiences came to see the performances. The modern dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity. In 1968, the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London’s West End. The company became a good choice for new, progressive talent in the arts.

Later, the Ballet Rambert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success. The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modern dance popular while creating performances different from the old ones. It is considered the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!

【1】According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?

A.It is popular to learn modern dance.

B.The Ballet Rambert is the most popular modern dancer.

C.they were short of money for big shows D.its dancers were no longer excellent

【3】The underlined word “audiences ” in the second paragraph means _____ in Chinese.

A.舞者 B.导演 C.观众 D.经纪人

【4】From the last paragraph, we know that _____.

A.the Ballet Rambert has succeeded in making modern dance popular

B.the Ballet Rambert wanted to become the oldest dance company

C.the Ballet Rambert was the oldest dance company in the world

D.the Ballet Company changed old dances into new ones

【5】The passage is mainly about _____.

26、When your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder: Why on Earth does school have to start so early?

Fortunately, there is a new law to back you up or better still, science. A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.

Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.

“The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University, told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students’ mental health and increase the risk of obesity and diabetes (糖尿病).

In the short run, students’ school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota’s College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are more quick﹣minded in class and get better grades.

Some might say that getting students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty (aged from ten to nineteen), which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11:00 pm. So when school starts at 8:00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.

This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of children will come to appreciate this historic day and our governor for taking bold (brave) action.”

【1】When should public high schools start classes according to the California’s new law?

A．No earlier than 7:30 a.m.

B．No earlier than 8:00 a.m.

C．No earlier than 8:30 a.m.

D．No earlier than 9:00 a.m.

【2】What can we learn from Bhargava’s words?

A．People change the amount of sleep with their age.

B．Lack of sleep affects adults more than children.

C．Sleep problems are one of the leading causes of diabetes.

D．Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.

【3】What do we know about teenagers’ sleep patterns?

A．Less sleep is needed when they enter puberty.

B．Ideally, they need eight hours of sleep a night.

C．They may have difficulty falling asleep before 11:00 p.m.

D．They often wake up at midnight due to biological changes.

27、   I am studying English in a language school in the USA. It is the second week and everything is new to me. Because of the different language and the new environment, I find it difficult to adapt to school life here.

In yesterday’s class, Mr. Peters talked about baseball. He said, “baseball is one of the most popular sports in the USA. If you hope to speak English well, you must understand baseball. First, you need to know the rules. Then you need to try to find how it has to do with daily life.”

He gave us some expressions and let us guess the meanings. Unluckily, I had never watched a baseball game before, so I sat quietly and just listened to the others. After school, I took out a dictionary and asked Jake, one of my friends in the neighboring class, for help. Jake was kind and patient and he has been in the USA for several years. He tried to teach me the baseball rules. I learned that baseball is a game between two teams of nine players. In baseball, a player on one team throws a small round ball at the player on the other team, who tries to hit it back with a bat.

He told me more rules of the game, but the more he said, the more confused（困惑的） I felt!  Maybe one day I need to watch a real game to understand it better!

【1】The writer finds studying in the USA is________.

A.fun B.easy C.boring D.challenging

【2】According to paragraph 2, Mr. Peters probably agrees that ________.

A.learning baseball rules is difficult B.baseball is American’ favorite sport

C.every student should learn to pay baseball D.understanding baseball is helpful in learning English

【3】Why did the writer keep quiet in yesterday’s class?

A.He knew nothing about baseball. B.He could not follow the teacher.

C.He was too shy to speak. D.He did not like the teacher.

【4】The writer wrote the passage to  ________.

A.say sorry B.ask for advice

C.compare two different cultures D.describe his personal experience
