副标题

一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）

A

I am an active playgoer and play-reader，and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is

a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others．To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play．Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright（剧作家）hopes to get across through dialogue and action．A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme．It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection，for that would，indeed，ruin the pleasure of reading，discussing，and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright．However，a variety of types is represented here．These include comedy，satire，poignant drama，historical and regional drama．To show the versatility（多面性）of the short play，I have included a guidance play，a radio play and a television play．

Among the writers of the plays in this collection，Paul Green，Susan Glaspell，Maxwell Anderson，Thornton Wilder，William Saroyan，and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater．More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book．

To get the most out of reading these plays，try to picture the play on stage，with you，the reader，in the audience．The houselights dim（变暗）．The curtains are about to open，and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story．

1.What do we know about the author from the first paragraph？

A. He has written dozens of plays．

B. He has a deep love for the theater．

C. He is a professional stage actor．

D. He likes reading short plays to others．

2.What does the author avoid doing in his work？

A. Stating the plays? central ideas．

B. Selecting works by famous playwrights．

C. Including various types of plays．

D. Offering information on the playwrights．

3.What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays？

A. Control their feelings．

B. Apply their acting skills．

C. Use their imagination．

D. Keep their audience in mind．

4.What is this text？

A. A short story．

B. An introduction to a book．

C. A play review．

D. An advertisement for a theater．

B

The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue，Washington，generally don?t flash the same length of green twice in a row，especially at rush hour．At 9：30am，the full

red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds．By 9：33am，a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds．Less traffic at 9：37am could push it down to 135．Just like the traffic itself，the timing of the signals changes．

That is by design．Bellevue，a fast-growing city just east of Seattle，uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US：intersection（十字路口）signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions．These lights，known as adaptive signals，have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home．

"Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed，" says Alex Stevanovic，a researcher at Florida Atlantic University．

For all of Bellevue?s success，adaptive signals are not a cure﹣all for jammed roadways．Kevin Balke，a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute，says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities，others are

so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference．"It?s not going to fix everything，but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities，" he says．

In Bellevue，the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches．In the past，there was often an automatic reaction to increased traffic：just widen the roads，says Mark Poch，the Bellevue Transportation Department?s traffic engineering manager．Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger．

5.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 2 refer to？

A. Increased length of green lights．

B. Shortened traffic signal cycle．

C. Flexible timing of traffic signals．

D. Smooth traffic flow on the road．

6.What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals？

A. They work better on broad roads．

B. They should be used in other cities．

C. They have greatly reduced traffic on the road．

D. They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed．

7.What can we learn from Bellevue?s success？

A. It is rewarding to try new things．

B. The old methods still work today．

C. It pays to put theory into practice．

D. The simplest way is the best way．

C

Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking，planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age，a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests．

Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1，000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers? memory and thinking skills

through a battery of tests．Then，for eight years，the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests．

Those who had held mentally stimulating（刺激），demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests．And they tended to lose cognitive（认知）function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs．The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants? overall health status．

"This works just like physical exercise，" says Francisca Then，who led the study．"After a long run，you may feel like you?re in pain，you may feel tired．But it makes you fit．After a long day at work—sure，you will feel tired，but it can help your brain stay healthy．"

It?s not just corporat e jobs，or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit．Then points out．A waiter?s job，for example，that requires multitasking，teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work．And "running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating（协调），" she says．"You have to organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries．"

Of course，our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons—including other environmental influences or genetic factors．Still，continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help．

8.Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests？

A. To assess their health status．

B. To evaluate their work habits．

C. To analyze their personality．

D. To measure their mental ability．

9.How does Francisca Then explain her findings in paragraph 4？

A. By using an expert?s words．

B. By making a comparison．

C. By referring to another study．

D. By introducing a concept．

10.Which of the following is the best title for the text？

A. Retired Workers Can Pick Up New Skills

B. Old People Should Take Challenging Jobs

C. Your Tough Job Might Help Keep You Sharp

D. Cognitive Function May Decline As You Age

One fall，my wife Elli and I had a single goal：to photograph polar bears．We were staying at a research camp outside "the polar bear capital of the world"﹣the town of

Churchill in Manitoba，Canada．

Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous．Polar bears﹣like all wild animals﹣should be photographed from a safe distance．When I?m face to face with a polar bear，I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens．But sometimes，that is easier said than done．This was one of those times．

As Elli and I cooked dinner，a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed，and smelled our garlic bread．

The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp，which was surrounded by a high wire fence．He pulled and bit the wire．He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts．

Terrified，Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew．We yelled at the bear，hit pots hard，and fired blank shotgun shells into the air．Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off．Not this polar bear though﹣he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws（爪子）．

I radioed the camp manager for help．He told me a helicopter was on its way，but it

would be 30 minutes before it arrived．Making the best of this close encounter（相遇），

I took some pictures of the bear．

Elli and I feared the fence wouldn?t last through 30 more minutes of the bear?s punishment．The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray．The spray burns the bears? eyes，but doesn?t hurt them．So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and，through the fence，sprayed him in the face．With an angry roar（吼叫），the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes．

提纲类书面表达主要特点是：要点明确，范围具体，贴近生活，易于动笔。此类试题中有较多的文字说明，实际上规定了考生表述的思路，对考生的写作范围作了较为明确的限定，试题中规定的要点一个也不能回避。考生极易受中文提纲的制约，将书面表达变成了翻译，造成语法结构和语汇上的单调，因此平时要多练习，活用语言，使文章流畅。

解题方法点拨

（1）品读原文，确定文章线索

每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于号生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。

（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求

一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文缕写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。

（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路

根据文章后面的要求，再次快速回读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。

（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句

在确定了思路和内容之后。最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
