　　(2024·河北省普高質(zhì)監(jiān))

　　Martha Graham, born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.

　　Earlier in her life, however, Martha did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Martha's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. Until 1916, she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.

　　In 1936, Graham made her defining work, “Chronicle”， which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.

　　Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. Once again, she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didn't give up. Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag. “A Dancer's World” is an introduction to Graham and her work. She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods.

　　Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in nineteen seventy-six. She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civilian

　　honor. She died in 1991 at the age of ninety-six. In 1998, Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.

　　(2024·青島市一模)

　　What are American high schools like? Well, I'm happy to tell you what I know.

　　When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. At this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I was really sad. I wished I'd known about it earlier.

　　Despite the disappointment, however, I gradually adapted to my new life and school.

　　There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. Around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.

　　It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy, like bricks. For other classes, we only need binders (活頁夾) with paper in them. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. We never know what we will learn.

　　Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students' morality more than their academic studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out.

　　I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.

　　文章大意：本文是說明文。主要介紹了美國的高中學(xué)校是什么樣子的。

　　1．What was the writer sad for?

　　A．He was late for school.

　　B．He missed the trip at the beginning of school.

　　C．He didn't know anyone.

　　D．American students looked down upon him.

　　答案：B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I was really sad可知是作者錯過了那次旅行而悲傷。故選B。

　　．Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?

　　A．To attend class. B．To share a classroom.

　　C．To have fun. D．To meet teachers.

　　答案：C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun可知學(xué)生們?nèi)ツ亲虒W(xué)樓為了快樂。故選C。

　?。瓾ow do teachers in the US teach the students?

　　A．However they want to.

　　B．They use bricks.

　　C．Some use textbooks; some teach freely.

　　D．They always teach as required.

　　答案：C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy, like bricks. For other classes, we only need binders (活頁夾) with paper in them. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time可知美國的老師們有的使用課本，有的不使用課本。故選C。

　　．According to the passage, in American high schools, ______.

　　A．you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat

　　B．you'll be punished if you do not finish your homework

　　C．students are better at school work than Chinese students

　　D．students care much about the grades they get

　　答案：A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out可知在美國學(xué)校作弊的話將會被開除。故選A。

　　Here’s a movie-a sharp, sugar-rush of fun that’s guaranteed to entertain the entire family.

　　With some terrific computer-generated effects, a great cast and a fun-packed storyline, Robots is the best animated film(動畫片) since The Incredibles. Yep, it really is that good.

　　Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.

　　But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).

　　Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket(Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce half on Robot City’s citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare Pans they need to survive.

　　Instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?”
