28．（6分）That competition keeps prices down is well known．But it is hard to measure by just how much，because prices vary for all sorts of reasons，from differences in labour costs and rents to taxes．Rising to the challenge is a new paper in The Economic Journal by Giacomo Calzolari，Andrea Ichino，Francesco Manaresi and Viki Nellas，economists at the European University Institute，Bologna University and the Italian central bank．They looked at pharmacies（药房）and specifically at customers who may be particularly easy to rip off：new parents．Using data for 2007 to 2010 covering about a fifth of pharmacies in Italy，the researchers measured the way in

Intelligence system that uses machine learning to recognize such patterns．
It seems to work．In a study published earlier this year the two researchers tested their system on a database of footsteps trodden by 127 different people．They found that its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere
0.7%．And Dr．Scully says that even without a database of footsteps to work with the system can determine
someone's sex﹣﹣﹣women and men，with wide and narrow pelvises（骨盆）respectively，walk in different ways，﹣﹣﹣﹣and guess，with reasonable accuracy， a subject's age．
A mat﹣based gait﹣recognition system has the advantage that it would work in any lighting conditions﹣﹣﹣﹣even pitch﹣darkness．And though it might fail to identify someone if，say，she was wearing stilettos and had been entered into the database while wearing trainers，it would be very hard to fool it by imitating the gait of an individual who was allowed admission to a particular place．
The latest phase of Dr．Ozanyan's and Dr．Scully's project is a redesign of the mat．The old mats contained individual pressure sensors．The new ones contain optical fibres（光纤）．Light﹣emitting diodes（二极管）distributed along two neighbouring edges of a mat transmit light into the fibres．Sensors on the opposite edges（and

Is ballet dead？Has the art form evolved to depression？Jennifer Homans's conclusion to her fascinating history of ballet，Apollo's Angels，is worrying．
It appears that ballet's pulse continues to beat strongly，however，especially with a Tchaikovsky defibrillator attached．So why are some dance commentators arguing that ballet is dying？And do they have a point？
"Ballet is dead"﹣﹣﹣﹣"Ballet is dying" ﹣﹣﹣all ring tones of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical claim："God is dead．" Headline grabbling，certainly．Yet can ballet be defined in such black and white terms？Surely it is more abstract，filled with shades of popular grey．①．
To start with，how do you define ballet？What is ballet today？Consider popular modern classics like Twyla Tharp's In the Upper Room，where dancers wear pointy shoes and sneakers，combining contemporary and classical vocabulary together．Or closer to home，there is Graeme Murphy's Swan Lake，which layers elements of Petipa's choreography（编舞）with a contemporary theme and aesthetic．Many contemporary choreographers all embrace

contemporary ballets）．A part of the charm behind classical repertoire，for me，was in reproducing the glories of past greats．Classical ballet's framework supports the modern process of bench﹣marking．
Perhaps Jennifer Homans's thoughts are not completely unfounded．Perhaps ballet is dying for some．Ballet's evolution has been delayed by its audiences．And as Homans suggests in her epilogue，perhaps also by its creatives．Now here is a bold prediction．In line with the Royal Ballet's programming in Brisbane this year﹣﹣﹣﹣of Christopher Wheeldon's The Winter's Tale，and Wayne MacGregor's Woolf Works﹣﹣﹣﹣over the next 20 years，
ballet's reliance on Petipa will decrease．Contemporary ballets and merge﹣styled ballets will produce their box﹣office influence ever more．
Why？
It is simple：our audiences will be ready for ballet to change again．
（1）Why does the writer cite Jennifer Homans's words at the beginning of the passage？
A．To support the writer's viewpoint．
B．To introduce the topic of the passage．

A．classics should be promoted
B．classics are still of great significance
C．classical ballet's framework is out of date
D．contemporary ballets attract more audiences
（6）What may be the audiences' attitude to the change of ballet？
A．Supportive．
B．Arbitrary．
C．Critical．
D．Concerned

the life course，" Rawlins says．"People want their close friends to be someone they can talk to and someone they can depend upon．"
If you're trying to fill a dried﹣up friendship pool，start by looking inward．Think back to how you met some of your very favorite friends．V olunteering on a political campaign or in a favorite spin class？Playing in a band？
"Friendships are always about something，" says Rawlins．Common passions help people bond at a personal level，and they bridge people of different ages and life experiences．
Whatever you're into，someone else is too．Let your passion guide you toward people．Volunteer，for example，take a new course or join a committee at your community centers．If you like yoga，start going to classes regularly．Fellow dog lovers tend to gather at dog runs．Using apps and social media﹣﹣﹣﹣like Facebook to find a local book club﹣﹣﹣﹣is also a good way to find easy﹣going folks．
Once you meet a potential future friend，then comes the scary part：inviting them to do something．"You do have to put yourself out there，" says Janice McCabe，associate professor of sociology at Dartmouth College and a friendship researcher．"There's a chance that the person will say no．But there's also the chance they'll say yes，

Film and television adaptations of classic literature works have held a long﹣standing appeal for audiences，reshaping our cultural landscape．
In 2017，a nine﹣episode TV adaptation of Chinese literature classic，The Dream of the Red Mansion，featured young cast aged 6﹣12 portraying the characters vividly and won applause among faithful readers of this classic work．To them，these young performers have brought the characters alive again．"I was impressed by their perfect acting in the TV series．I never expected they could play so well．It is as good as the 1987 TV adaptation，" a Douban user commented．Before the shooting of the 1987 TV version，all the actors and actresses received systematic acting training and guided studyt of the original work．This time，Ouyang Fenqiang，who played the leading role，Jia Baoyu，in the 1987 version，was invited to instruct the young performers．

on．Many are also used by adults on themselves．Some people，for example，prefer sun﹣cream labeled "for children" because of its high level of protection．When raising prices for these products，even a pharmacist with a monopoly（垄断）must consider the risk that adult users will switch to products that are not aimed at children．But
a rise in the number of babies，and hence buyers who are parents，could tip the scales towards price increases．By
contrast，the pharmacist should already be charging as much as parents are willing to pay for products without adult users，such as nappies．
The scholars found that pharmacists raised prices when there were more new parents﹣﹣﹣﹣but only in regions with a single pharmacy，and not for nappies．In monopoly areas a doubling of the number of babies from one month to the next （not unusual in a small population）coincided with a 5% increase in the price of the basket of baby﹣hygiene products．
The study is timely．Italy's government has started to loosen some of the many restrictions that stop competition in the pharmacy sector （though not yet the one that the researchers relied on）．But such regulations are plentiful in many other lines of business，and not just in Italy．The consumers who pay the price are often those

．But Dr．Ozanyan And Dr．Scully use a complex version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it．These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker．Dr．Ozanyan and Dr．Scully therefore turned，as is now common for anything to do with pattern recognition，to an Artificial Intelligence system that uses machine learning to recognize such patterns．
It seems to work．In a study published earlier this year the two researchers tested their system on a database of footsteps trodden by 127 different people．They found that its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere
0.7%．And Dr．Scully says that even without a database of footsteps to work with the system can determine someone's sex﹣﹣﹣women and men，with wide and narrow pelvises（骨盆）respectively，walk in different ways，﹣﹣﹣﹣and guess，with reasonable accuracy， a subject's age．
A mat﹣based gait﹣recognition system has the advantage that it would work in any lighting conditions﹣﹣﹣
﹣even pitch﹣darkness．And though it might fail to identify someone if，say，she was wearing stilettos and had been entered into the database while wearing trainers，it would be very hard to fool it by imitating the gait of an individual who was allowed admission to a particular place．

such as airports．For that to work，the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database，which would be harder to arrange than the collection of mugshots and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on．Some people，however，might volunteer for it．Many aircrew or pre﹣registered frequent flyers would welcome anything that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel．

【解答】1．D．细节理解题．根据第二段Cameras are often visible，are hard to set up，require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people可知，基于摄像头的步态识别未能得到广泛使用，因为有时可以覆盖相机；良好的照明条件无法保证；设置系统很困难．故选D．
2．D．细节理解题．根据第五段And though it might fail to identify someone if，say，she was wearing stilettos and had been entered into the database while wearing trainers，it would be very hard to fool it by imitating the gait of an individual who was allowed admission to a particular place．可知，预先扫描步态的人可以使用受限区域．故选D．
3．A．词义猜测题．根据上下文内容可知，she was wearing stilettos and had been entered into the database while wearing trainers，it would be very hard to fool it by imitating the gait of an individual who was allowed admission to a particular place．句意为她穿着高跟鞋，在穿着运动鞋的同时进入了数据库，通过模仿被允许进入某个地

Tharp's In the Upper Room，where dancers wear pointy shoes and sneakers，combining contemporary and classical vocabulary together．Or closer to home，there is Graeme Murphy's Swan Lake，which layers elements of Petipa's choreography（编舞）with a contemporary theme and aesthetic．Many contemporary choreographers all embrace classical form and principles，then manipulate（操纵）the rules．②．
The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague．In an interview with The Telegraph （2015），British choreographer Mattew Bourne acknowledges that this "cross﹣fertilisation" between contemporary dance and
ballet continues to grow，as evidenced by the rise in new commissions from contemporary choreographers at the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet．Referring to Homans's book，Bourne believes what has changed is that "the dance forms are coming closer together"．Not dying，but merging．Reinventing．This has been the case amongst Australasian ballet companies for many years now．③．
Homans writes that ballet's decline began after the passing of Ashton and Balanchine．Something ahs changed，certainly．A stylisic transition﹣﹣﹣﹣from neo﹣classical to contemporary ballet﹣﹣﹣﹣has occurred．④．Our art form's evolution has always been with extinction．Prominent dance critic with The New York Times，
