A
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?
A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.
B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.
C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.
D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.
B
There are three of us in the laboratory: Jules, me and Dr. Leonards. Leonards asks me to sit in front of Jules. As I do, he looks me in the eye and starts to move his face through a series of emotions-happy, confused, surprised, glaring. I'm attracted by his display, feeling delight when hegrinsand feeling serious when his eyes narrow angrily. None of this would be a surprise, of course, if Jules were a human. But he's a robot head on a table.
The most special thing is that, consciously(有意识地), there's no mistaking Jules for a real person. Although he has surprisingly realistic skin, his eyes don't fit firmly against his lids, and he has a terrible hairpiece. Yet, as I walk into the room, I experience a complex worry of feeling in his direction. It's not at all like entering an empty space. It's a bit awkward for Jules’ shining false hair. Some unconscious part of me is responding to him as if he's real. This matters, because if we're to one day live comfortably along with robots , an understanding of how we instinctively(本能地) react to them is significant. The study of these issues is the frontier of a new scientific research; human-robot interaction.
Jules was built as part of an attempt to understand the emotions that can be communicated by a human. “All the robots we'vebuilt so far don't have that rich emotions. We wanted to build a robotic face, with small motors that mimic(模仿) all the muscles you have, so we could discover what it could express. "Such research is becoming increasingly important, says Dr. Leonards, partly because our rapidly ageing population will soon need the help of robots with which they can effortlessly interact.
4. What does the author think of Jules?
A. He ignored him in his place.
B. He didn't treat him as only a robot.
C. He was afraid of his being there.
D. He mistook him for a real person.
5. What is the purpose to build such a robot?
A. To help humans of old ages.
B. To carry out a scientific research.
C. To take the place of human labour.
D. To make an interaction with human.
6. What doesthe underlined word “grins” mean in Paragraph1?
A. Smiles.
B. Shakes.
C. Worries.
D. Cries.
7. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Human And Robot
B. Success Of Making A Robot
C. Robot Will Replace Man
D. Difference Between Man And Robot
C
Jake Oldershaw and his daughter Mollie from Birmingham, Britain have asthma (哮喘). Mollie, 11, has required hospital treatment several times while Jake Says he always finds breathing more difficult when there is heavy traffic. Air quality has an enormous impact on their lives and both noticed a marked improvement during the spring lockdown because of the epidemic (疫情). Jake said, “During lockdown there was a noticeable difference in air quality. I didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period. These days you can feel the effects.”
However, under current COVID-19 restrictions in the UK this winter, many people probably will have to work from home. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) says while emissions (排放) have dropped this year because we've been travelling less and doing less, the expected use ofgas boilers to provide heating and hot water could rise by more than half.
Heating accounts for nearly 37% of the UK's total carbon emissions. Modelling by the ECIU suggests a 56% increase in boiler usage this winter resulting in a 12% increase in emissions of carbon. The ECIU says that's enough to offset the last two years' worth of progress on reducing traffic emissions.
Jess Ralston, author of the analysis for the ECIU, said, “Working from home and having increased gas use in the home could be really critical for air pollution and also climate change. The way we heat our homes needs to change if we are to get to net zero by 2050.”
Jess Ralston said, “The increase in pollution from gas boilers expected this winter provides a graphic illustration (图解) of their forgotten role in air pollution. And it is a role set to continue without practical policies to decarbonize home heating. ”
The government is set to publish its Heat and Buildings Decarbonisation Strategy in a few weeks which is expected to give details on plans to try to switch British homes to cleaner sources of heat.
8. How did the spring lockdown in the UK affect Jake?
A. He was cured of his asthma.
B. He had to go to hospital for retreatment.
C. He suffered a noticeable difficulty in study.
D. He didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period.
9. What is concerning the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit?
A. The epidemic will become worse.
B. Air pollution will get worse this winter.
C. People may have to work from home longer.
D. There is less energy for gas boilers in winter.
10. What would Jess Ralston agree with?
A. People prefer to work from home in winter.
B. The government failed to protect the environment.
C. People tend to ignore the harmful effect of home heating.
D. The climate has suffered a lot from the epidemic this year.
11. How to improve air quality during winter according to Jess Ralston?
A. A warmer winter season.
B. Less and less gas boilers.
C. Practical plans from the government.
D. Improved awareness of cutting down pollution.
D
In June, 2021, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canada’s Manitoba province, will begin test-launching (试发射) a satellite the size of a Rubik’s cube.
The one-kilogram Win-Cube satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the signs of earthquakes.
There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations.
The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper; it is real-world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their
participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space
“These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery,” said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjomson. “We want to make science more relevant, interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space,” Bjomson added.
The Win-Cube program is mainly aimed at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce—all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth.
12. What can we learn from Mr. Bjomson? .
A. Those Manitoba high school students are worth praising.
B. The study of space can be practically made in classrooms.
C. Manitoba high schools are famous for the study of space.
D. Scientific research is too far away from high school students.
13. What is the primary purpose of the project ? .
A. To find the early signs of earthquakes.
B. To relate studies to practical.
C. To help high school students study real-world engineering.
D. To inspire a strong desire for discovery among the students.
14. According to the passage, what can we know about the Win-Cube satellite? .
A. It is named after Manitoba and its shape.
B. It is intended for international communication.
C. It is designed like a Rubik’s cube both in shape and size.
D. It is challenged by university students around the world.
15. What may be the best title for the passage?

Eventually, your positive thoughts should be given more “brain space” than your negative thoughts.___18___ ___19___Avoid spending time around things that can make you feel bad about yourself again.
