四、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
(A)
In chat shows on TV, you can find a set-up called right-side desk arrangement. In such programmes, hosts always place their de sks to the right. Do you know why? That’s because it makes them seem powerful. In western culture, people read them from left to right, and they watch theatre and television that way, too. Their eyes end up on the right side of the screen——where the hosts sits.
You can find other kinds in some interview formats. On the programme The view, for example, the hosts sit around the same table, with the guest at the centre, creating a more peaceful atmosphere. On the programme Politically Incorrect, host Bill Macher sat between guests who are arguing, ——a set-up that emphasized(强调) his roles as moderator(调解人) and the importance of argument among ideas.
The few hosts who don’t follow the right-side desk arrangement aren’t so luckily. Dick Cavett, who started out as a morning and midday host, tried to import the non-desk interview set-up. It was never as successful as Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show, and finally ABC sent Cavett out.
51. Which set-up helps to make people feel peaceful?
A. Placing the desk to the right.
B. Sitting around the guests.
C. Sitting between the guests.
D. Non-desk interview set-up.
52. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Bill Macheer sat between guests because he wanted to argue with them.
B. Left-side desk arrangement is popular because people watch TV from left to right.
C. Dick Cavett was successful because of the non-desk interview set-up.
D. Hosts put their desks to the right side to make them seem powerful.
53. The paragraph is mainly talking about ____________.
A. the chat shows on TV
B. the right-side desk arrangement
C. the interview formats
D. the non-desk interview set-up
(B)
Chinese singer Tan Weiwei and five senior artists of Huayin Laoqiang Opera jointly performed on a TV show on Dec 5, causing a sensation among viewers. The song they created is a fresh mix of rock & roll and Chinese traditional folk music. And the video of this performance soon became one of the hottest topics with 1650,000 hits on the Internet.
During the performance, Tan shocked the viewers as soon as she started to sing. Five senior artists also got much attention by playing erhu (a two-stringed Chinese musical instrument), yueqin (a four-stringed plucked Chinese musical instrument with a full-moon shaped sound box) and a long bench that is the unique percussion instrument for the Huayin Laoqiang Opera. Their performance surprisingly turned out to be a perfect combination of rock and the traditional Huayin Laoqiang Opera. It ended with the senior artists' beat on the long bench, making great waves among the audiences.
Cui Jian, a Chinese rock star described by his fans as the "father" of China rock, was deeply moved by the performance and noted that it is the best example of a combination of rock and Chinese folk music.
Tan said that she wanted to add some Chinese folk music that has an element of rock and roll and her rock music, for most of the rock and roll is from the West. And the first thing sprang into her mind is Huayin Laoqiang Opera. In her mind, the opera keeps a history of hundreds of years. It is the earliest China rock.
It took her much effort to find these artists who are in their 70s. But when she found them, they soon agreed to perform with her. Due to the different nature of folk music and rock, the combination did not go smoothly at first.
But the performance at last turned out to be a great success, which greatly encouraged Tan. She wept after the performance and said: "I was moved when I saw these artists perform with their full passion. And I am very pleased by the success of this attempt."
54. The performance which is mentioned in the text is a fresh mix of __________.
A. R & B and Chinese traditional folk music
B. country music and Chinese traditional folk music
C. rock & roll and Chinese traditional folk music
D. rock & roll and American traditional folk music
55. The matter which shocked the viewer is Tan’s __________.
A. beauty
B. wisdom
C. voice
D. money
56. From the article, we know the instrument(s) for the Huayin Laoqiang Opera is ___________.
A. erhu
B. yueqin
C. a long bench
D. all the above

Learning can take place in a classroom, in a meeting room, or even on a ship. Life experiences offer the students some of the best education packages available on the earth. Of those life experiences, travel offers the best returns(回报).
For international travelers, the lessons are the greatest. Taking that first step to cross the ocean by plane or boat is an adventure（冒险）. It teaches people to expand their horizons(拓宽视野) and it enables people to go beyond one land, one country, and one set way of thinking and doing things.
International travel awakens the mind with different cultures. Travelers see how different people do things in different lands. While this experience is exciting for adults, children get the greatest insights （洞察力） during the international exploration. It will help to form their understanding from a very young age. It will help them understand that differences among people and cultures can be quite exciting and wonderful in its own way. Fashion, art, science, transportation, religion, geography, geology and social studies are all areas of learning outside of the books when traveling abroad. There is no other way that can teach so much information in such a short time.
You can learn more from travel than from any single（单一的）educational experience. If you take no notice of everything you see, then surely you will learn nothing at all. But, if you are curious enough to look for new experiences through travel, you can learn
more from travel than from any course in any university on the earth!

I’m a middle school student. I like watching films, especially horror films. I always feel scared but excited when watching the film. Last week, I watched Murder in a Country House directed by Cindy Clark, a new director. A doctor was found dead in his house in the film. The film was full of horror and mysteries. You wouldn’t find out the answer until the end. My good friend Cindy likes action movie, because she thinks this kind of movie is more exciting and brings more happiness. I think I do need some time to relax and some films can teach me a lot of things.。
