In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.
While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.
Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.
While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.
1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.
B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.
C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.
D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.
2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?
A. Social reality.
B. Female dreams.
C. Human emotions.
D. Political environment.
3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?

In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact（影响）on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across town, coughing out emissions（产生排放）and using gas all the way. But now that we're used to staying at home and streaming movies, we might get a littleproud. After all, we're just picking up our phones and maybe turning on the TV. You're welcome. Mother Nature.
Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shift Project. According to "Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video", digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half-hour show would cause 1. 6 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. That's like driving 6. 28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers（where videos are stored）there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the BBC.
Streaming is only expected to increase as webecome more enamored ofour digital devices（设备）and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it increases. Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022. By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online.
You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there're things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it's also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your home if you're not using your devices.
4. What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in?
A. The environmental effects of driving private cars.
B. The improvements on environmental awareness.
C. The change in the way people seek entertainment.
D The environmental impacts of screaming services.
5. What does the underlined phrase become more enamored of" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Get more skeptical of.
B. Become more aware of.
C. Feel much crazier about.
D. Get more worried about.
6. What can we infer about the use of streaming services?
A. It is being reduced to protect the planet.
B. Its environmental effects are worsening.
C. It is easily available to almost everyone.
D. Its side effects have drawn global attention.
7. Which of the following is the most environmentally-friendly?
A. Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone.
B. Downloading music on a personal computer.
C. Uploading a lot of images of the same thing.
D. Playing online games over mobile networks.
C
We asked four people who watched an online talk on technology and communication by Sherry Turkle for their opinions.
Fred:
The talk certainly gave me plenty of food for thought about how technology is changing our behaviour. People are constantly multitasking, whether it be emailing during meetings or texting in the checkout queue. It’s as if we can’t bear to miss out on what our online friends are up to, so we juggle the real and online world. My greatest concern is that we don’t give our brains a chance to switch off. It’sthese precious momentswhen we actually process information that helps us make important decisions.
Jeremy:
It was a fascinating talk and the speaker really hit the nail on the head with a couple of things. Take parental influence, for instance. How can we expect teenagers not to text while doing their homework when they witness
their parents posting on social media while cooking the evening meal or waiting at a red light?
Kath:
So much of what the speaker said rang true. I honestly believe there’s a danger that the more connected we are, the more isolated we feel. I don’t think this is such an issue for my generation who’ve lived without technology for so long. We know how to be alone. But the under 20s are another kettle of fish. They’re so busy communicating that they never experience the feeling of solitude and run the risk of not learning how to enjoy their own company.
Carl:
I’m not sure to what extent I agree that people are more alone, but the way we communicate has certainly evolved. The speaker makes a good point about how we’re getting used to talking with machines like Siri or robots, which are totally lack of experience of human life. But despite such limitations, we seem to be expecting more from technology and less from each other.
8. What does the underlined phrase “these precious moments” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. When our brains are free.
B. When we emailing during meeting.
C. When we texting in the checkout queue.
D. When we juggle the real and online world.
9. What suggestion may Jeremy give to the parents?
A. Accompany their children when they are doing homework.
B. Prevent their children using phone while doing homework.
C. Set a good example for their children on using phone properly.
D. Stop posting on social media in face of their children.
10. What does Kath worry about the under 20s generation?
A. They communicate more with others.
B. They use more technology.
C. It’s difficult for them to find companies.
D. They don’t know how to be alone.
11. What is Carl’s attitude towards the use of technology in communication?
A. Favorable.
B. Intolerant.
C. Doubtful.
D. Indifferent.
D
Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.
But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as" mind wandering". During these events we' re not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we' re recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.
When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.
While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.
Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.
Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.
It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.
12. What is driving the development of virtual tourism?
A. Companies seeking to make more money.
B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.
C. People's demand for more shared experiences.
D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.
13. Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"?
A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.
B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.
C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.
D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.
14. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Science fiction.
B. Virtual technology.
C. Virtual tourism.
D. The real world.
15. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.
B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.
C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.
D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.

A farmer had some puppies(小狗崽)to sell. When He was putting up a sign advertising(做广告)the puppies, a little boy came up with shining eyes and said he wanted to buy a little dog.
The farmer patiently replied that these puppies cost a lot of money because they came from fine parents.
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change(零钱). “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”
The farmer nodded and let out a whistle(口哨).
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp(斜坡)ran the dog mother followed by four little balls of fur. The
little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.
The ONE that took the lead caught the boy's eyes. Clearly, it was the biggest and strongest of the all. It was pure white. The boy stared at the moving snowball as it raced closer and closer. Amazingly, it stopped just at the foot of the boy. “It seems strong and clever, so it would be a good gift for Mary,” the boy decided.
