24、Shadow puppet play(皮影戏), also called “shadow play”, is a traditional Chinese art of storytelling. Dramas were played out in screen or walls for thousands of years to entertain(娱乐) and teach. It was very popular in many parts of China during the Tang(618-907) and Song(960-1279) periods.

Shadow puppets are made of hard leather(皮革). The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Different colors are used to show good and bad of person in the drama. Some puppets have movable arms and legs. They’re shown on the white screen through the light.

During a shadow puppet play, the players stand behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. The players hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different roles.

Now because of TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. But the basic principle(原理) and ways of shadow performance played an important role in the invention of the modern movie and the development of the movies and cartoons.

25、Please sit down and enjoy your meal．Just don't talk about it．

These are the requirements at a popular dining party that is known as "silent dinners"．It encourages people who take part in the dining party not to speak for one to two hours and not to use electronic devices．Instead，the idea is to just on the food．

"Silent dinner parties are fast growing，" said Honi Ryan，who has hosted 32 silent dinner parties in 11 cities across eight countries，including Germany，Australia and the United States．"The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it．"

According to a 2013 nationwide survey，restaurant noise came in second only to poor service among customer（顾客） complaints．And 19 percent of diners who took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out．

Though silent dinners may seem curious，the idea is not a new one．Yogis（瑜伽信徒） have long enjoyed silent meals as part of a deepened practice．In fact，it was a trip to a temple（寺庙） in India by a man that encouraged one Brooklyn restaurant recently to add a silent dinner to its event programming．

"We'll make a small speech at the beginning of the meal to make sure everyone understands what is happening and ask them not to speak or use their mobile phones for at least an hour，" said EAT Greenpoint owner Jordan Colon．And background music will be turned off，too．

"It's funny；when I first opened EAT，I didn't play music for some time and people had very different reactions（反映） to that，" said Colon．"Some people who come out to eat are ready to party，but it was so quiet without music．But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed．"

Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various，in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards，said Ryan．"At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence．But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh．"

【1】The first paragraph is written to be a（n）____ ．

A．conclusion B．introduction

C．argument D．warning

【2】At silent dinner parties，people should not____．

A．leave before they finish eating

B．just pay attention to the food

A．Silent meals help people live longer．

B．Yogis are the first to hold silent dinners．

C．More and more people like eating in silence．

D．The idea of eating in silence appeared long ago．

【4】In Jordan Colon's opinion，silent dinners ____．

A．make people comfortable and relaxed

B．are hard to be accepted by most people

C．can help him to attract more customers

D．provide a chance to get to know others

26、As populations keep increasing in cities, city planners look under their feet for answers. With space in cities so limited, often the only choice for those who can afford to expand their property is to go underground.

One idea, which hasn’t been realized yet, is the ‘Earthscraper’ mentioned for Mexico City. This 65-storey inverted (倒置的) pyramid has been suggested as a way to provide office, shopping and living space without having to tear down the city’s historic buildings or break its 8-storey height requirement.

Many questions remain to be discussed, however, such as how you provide light, remove waste and protect people from fire or floods. Some of them have been answered with the construction (建设) of the Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland hotel in China. This 336-room resort was built into the rock face of an 88m-deep, disused quarry (采石场) .

The island city-state of Singapore is also exploring its underground choices. Not only are its Jurong Rock Caverns being turned into an underground storage facility (装备) for the nation’s oil reserves, but there are also plans to build an ‘Underground Science City’ for 4,200 scientists to carry out research.

In New York, the Lowline Project is turning a disused subway station into a park. Expected to open in 2021, it uses a system of above-ground light-collection dishes to provide enough light to grow plants, trees and grass.

【1】What’s the reason for people to explore the underground space?

A．People who explore the underground space can afford to expand their property.

B．Scientists have new discoveries when they are exploring the underground space.

C．The population in cities is growing and the space in cities is too small to live in.

D．People explore the underground space because they want new places to live in.

【2】Which is NOT the requirement of the buildings in Mexico?

A．People cannot tear down the city’s historic buildings.

B．People should have enough living space in the city.

C．People can have buildings over the height of 65 storeys.

D．People should have buildings within the height requirement.

【3】What does the word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3?

A．questions

B．light and waste

C．people

D．fire or floods

【4】What can you infer from Paragraph 4?

A．Singapore is building Jurong Rock Caverns and Underground Science City.

B．Singapore is planning its underground buildings because of its small size.

C．Singaporean scientists like underground buildings very much.

D．Jurong Rock Caverns is built to satisfy people’s shopping needs.

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Cities are building wonderful hotels like Shanghai.

B．Cities are suffering from many problems.

C．Underground cities can grow plants and trees.

D．Underground cities will be the choice of future.

This year some twenty-three teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend USA schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the r【1】 America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student e【2】 in action. Fred, a boy of nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he expected—much h【3】. Students took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were a【4】 no outside activities.

Family life too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family not a certain member of the family. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he m【5】 having a car.

“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you w【6】, but you soon learn to like it.”

At the same time in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose the lessons in American schools are too easy by our l【7】,” he says. “But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better at training for citizens.” There ought to be some middle ground between the two.
