21、 Peking Opera is being introduced to primary and middle school students in an effort to promote the traditional art to the younger generation.
The country's first set of textbooks about Peking Opera was compiled and published by the Beijing Association of Promoting Quintessence of Chinese Culture and People's Education Press in 2015.
The textbooks for optional courses have been put on trial use in middle schools in Fengtai district and will be used in middle schools across the city. The textbooks for primary schools will also be rolled_out.
Since 2008, Beijing has promoted a program to provide opera training at dozens of primary schools. Schools apply for funds from the city's education department to hire professional actors and actresses to work with students as young as 6 or 7.

23、A tailgate party is a social event held on and around the open tailgate of a vehicle. Tailgating, which originated in the United States, often involves consuming alcoholic drinks and frilling food. Tailgate parties usually occur in the parking lots at stadiums, before and occasionally after games and concerts. People attending such a party are said to be tailgating. Many people participate even if their vehicles do not have tailgates.
The idea for eating out of the back of a car may have started in 1866 with Charles Goodnight, a Texas farmer. He noticed that the cowboys he employed needed a way to eat on the road, so he transformed a U. S. Army wagon(马车) into a mobile kitchen. There, hungry workers could eat, relax, and socialize after a long day of working.
Nowadays, people tailgate for lots of reasons, everything from college football games to Jimmy Buffet concerts. In schools and communities, some athletic departments, coaches and parents of student athletes rely on post-game tailgating parties to build community and support for their program and team.
What people consider essentials(必备)for tailgating spreads isn’t the same across the country. Different areas of the country have their own favorite foods for tailgating. While foods like burgers and chips may be common everywhere, some areas have specialties. For instance, those in Louisiana may consider jambalaya a tailgating must, while those in the Midwest simply can’t go without brats. And the West Coast? Don’t be surprised to see grilled fish or pasta. While dishes may differ from area to area, one thing is the same across the country: beer.
【1】Why did Charles Goodnight invent a mobile kitchen?

24、A very close friend phoned me this weekend and asked a specific question about earning a few extra dollars each month online. For the benefit of keeping her name and details secret, I will call her Annie in this article. You see Annie suffers from a severe form of inaction syndrome; she is full of great ideas that never materialize into cash and she is having a problem finding the link that will achieve this.
Somebody once said that knowledge is power, yet we constantly find from readers of our website that they have knowledge to burn and still do not have power. Just look at the academics in universities all around the world; they have so much knowledge that they should control the wealth of the world. In truth they work for peanuts and very few of them ever achieve the power of independence. So knowledge certainly isn’t power. Therefore, we should change that “wise” statement to:“Power is the ability to use knowledge to your own benefit.”
That paragraph was inserted because Annie is a typical academic—strong on talk and plans but a little weaker on actions. In the period of a twenty-minute conversation, she expounded(阐述)a whole list of plans and ideas to make the extra few hundred dollars each month she was seeking. Any one of her many ideas was a potential money maker, but she had taken action on none of them. At one time she said, “I’m lost as to what to do next.”
That was my cue(提示)to get involved. “Take action,” I advised.
All that is wrong is that Annie was inactive without knowing it. In five minutes we drew up a plan of action and agreed to talk again in a month to review progress. When we finished the conversation, she sounded much happier and more motivated than when we started. Annie just needs a little nudge into beneficial action.
【1】What’s the problem with Annie?
A. She has too many great ideas.
B. She never puts her ideas into practice.
C. She suffers from a strange illness.
D. She knows little about making money online.
【2】What is the most important according to the author?
A. The ability to use one’s knowledge.
B. The ability to acquire knowledge.
C. A great deal of knowledge.
D. A good understanding of oneself.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Annie will succeed in later life.
B. Annie is going towards success.
C. Annie doesn’t realize her problems.
D. Annie talks too much in daily life.
【4】The underlined word “nudge” in the last paragraph probably means________.
A. push B. advice C. training D. Power

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was 11 p. m. when Alex saw the woman on the Main Street Bridge. She was standing by the railing (栏杆),looking down at the rushing river below. Maybe she was fishing, Alex thought. He continued driving to his home a short distance away. His friend’s car had broken down, so Alex was going home to get some tools before heading out to help. Tools in hand, he climbed into his car. Instead of taking a shortcut, though, he chose to head back over the bridge.
Something about that woman didn’t sit right. Why would she be fishing this late at night in May,when it was still cold in this city? As he crossed the bridge, Alex saw the woman standing in the same spot. He pulled a U-turn and parked his car with the hazards (警示灯) flashing, blocking one of the four lanes (车道). In case there was trouble, he hoped another driver would take note and help. He stepped out of his car and got a clearer picture of the scene. The woman was in her 20s, dressed in pants and a heavy coat. She was crying while saying something. Alex didn’t know exactly what was going on, but he knew exactly he should do something to help.
“Hey, what’s going on?”Alex called out while approaching. The woman didn’t answer or turn around. Alex stepped closer and stood with the woman side by side.
“What’s going on?”he asked again. The woman kept silent for a while before she told Alex, but mostly talked to herself that she was going through a particularly tough period. She was jobless, not doing well in everything. In short, life wasn’t working out as she’d hoped. “Not everything goes as planned,” agreed Alex. He started talking about the ups and downs he’d faced in his life.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then without warning, the woman climbed onto the railing.
