It has been spread all over China and to the whole world.Traditionally, dragons were made of wood and cloth. However, in the modern times, dragons are much lighter because they are made of lighter materials like plastic. The length(长度) of dragons can be from around 25 to 35 metres for acrobatic(杂技) models, and up to 50 to 70 metres for the largest parade(游行) styles because people believe that the longer the dragon is, the more luck it will bring. A small organization cannot run a very long dragon because it requires great human power, much money and special skills.The Dragon Dance itself began during the Han Dynasty. And it was started by the Chinese who had shown great respect towards the dragon. It was already a popular event during the Song Dynasty. At that time, it became a popular activity like the Lion Dance. People could often see it during some important festivals. In the Qing Dynasty, the Dragon Dance Team of Fuzhou was invited to put on a show in Beijing. And the emperor(黄帝) spoke highly of it. The emperors of ancient China thought of themselves as the dragons.（1）What were dragons traditionally made of? A . Gold.B . Paper.C . Wood and cloth.D . Plastic.（2）How long is a dragon for the largest parade style? A . About 25 metres.B . About 35 metres.C . About 30 metres.D . About 70 metres.（3）What does the underlined word it refer to? A . A very long dragon.B . A small organization.C . A parade.D . An acrobatic model.（4）When did the Dragon Dance become popular? A . During the Han Dynasty.B . During the Song Dynasty.C . During the Tang Dynasty.D . During the Qing Dynasty.4. （3分）阅读理解 To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class: He stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesnt mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teachers work and the actors. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they dont understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.（1）What is the text about ? A . How to become a good teacher.B . What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.C . What teachers and actors could learn from each other.D . The similarities(相似处) and differences between a teachers work and an actors.（2）The word audience in the fourth paragraph means _. A . studentsB . people who watch a playC . people who not on the stageD . people who listen to something（3）A good teacher _. A . knows how to hold the interest of his studentsB . must have a good voiceC . knows how to act on the stageD . stands or sits still while teaching（4）In what way is a teachers work different from an actors ? A . The teacher must learn everything by heart.B . He knows how to control his voice better than an actor.C . He has to deal with unexpected situations.D . He has to use more facial expressions.（5）The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that _. A . students can move around in the classroomB . students must keep silent while theatre audience needntC . no memory work is needed for the studentsD . the students must take part in their teachers plays5. （4分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的（A、B、C和D）四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Whats the first thing that you notice when you walk into your favorite restaurant? Is it the smell of fresh pizza, or the sight of your favorite desserts? Food that looks and smells good will probably taste good, but what about sound? Is that important, too?Scientists now believe that the taste of food can change when your ears hear different sounds, but it has to be right kind of sound. When you turn on a microwave with popcorn in it, it soon starts to pop. Do you think, That sounds tasty!?Not really, you probably think its nearly ready. But when you smell it, you go to get the salt and the butter. Hearing the popcorn makes you think about it, but smelling it tells you that it tastes good. So what arc the sounds to change the tastes of the things?In an experiment(实验)in a fish restaurant, customers(顾客)listened to the sound of the seaside while they ate. Did it make a difference? Yes, it did Listening to the sea seemed to improve the taste of the food. It was fresher and saltier. When the restaurant tried the same experiment with the sound of the farm animals, there was no difference in taste. The results are going to be useful for restaurants. Perhaps they will try to use fewer unhealthy things, like salt and sugar in food With the right music or sounds, perhaps we wont taste the difference. Restaurants are also beginning to set a connection(联系)between food and the sound that the packet(包装袋)makes. Pick up a packet of your favorite potato chips, what does it sound like? One restaurant recently changed the material(材料)that they used to make their potato chip packets because experiments show that the packet which makes a right noise will make customers think the potato chips are fresher. Another idea is that a list of music will begin to appear on food packets, so if you dont like your green vegetables, the right music or sounds could help you learn to love them. （1）According to the passage, what do you do when popcorn makes noise in the microwave? A . You plan what you will put on it.B . You start to smell it.C . You take it out of the microwave.D . You begin to imagine the taste of it.（2）What does the word improve in Paragraph 3 mean in tile third paragraph? A . Make something better.B . Make something worse.C . Make something useful.D . Make something bigger.（3）Why is the material of the food bag important? A . Customers want it to sound and look right.B . Customers enjoy looking at the different materials.C . Customers think the food is good if it makes the right sound.D . Customers dont like noisy packet.（4）The writer wrote the passage. A . to find out if people like pizzaB . to explain how sound can change the tastes of foodC . to tell different tastes and smells of foodD . to make people eat more green vegetables6. （3分）阅读理解 Four years ago when I was a boy of 11, I got into the biggest trouble as a kid.
