The one most widely accepted today is based on the 36 that drama evolved from ritual( 宗教仪式). The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings 37 the natural forces of the worldeven the seasonal changesas unpredictable, and they sought through various means to 38 these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to 39 the desired results were then kept and repeated until they changed into 40 rituals. 41 stories arose which explained or masked the mysteries of the rituals. As times passed, some rituals were 42 , but the stories, later called myths, continued to exist and provided material for art and drama.Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rituals contained the 43 of theatre because music, dance, masks, and 44 were almost always used. 45 , a suitable site had to be provided for performances and 46 the entire munity did not participate , a(n) 47 division was usually made between the “ area of acting “ and the “ area in which an audience sits ”. Besides, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was 48 to avoiding mistakes in the practice of rituals, religious leaders usually 49 that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often imitated (模仿) other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed (用哑剧表演出) the 50 effectsuccess in hunt or battle, the ing rain, the revival of the Sun 51 an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representatives were separated from 52 activities.Another theory traces the theaters origin from the human interest in 53 . According to this view , tales about the hunt , war or other things are told and gradually spread. 54 through the use of action and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily gymnastic or that are 55 of animal movements and sounds.36. A . backgroundB. evidence C. assumptionD. theory37.

It won an Oscar in xx, and if you watch it, youll understand why. Its an absolutely brilliant cartoon edy.Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a pany to protect the towns vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable petition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The petition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and adults. If you liked Wallace and Gromits previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, youll love this film. Dont miss it!56According to the film review, “monster” （paragraph B） refers to _.Aa gun-crazy hunterBa scary rabbitCa brainy dog Da giant vegetable57Which of the following is a reason why the writer remends the film?AIts full of wit and humour.BIts characters show feelings without words.CIt is an adventure film directed by Peter Sallis.DIt is about the harmony between man and animals.BBabies, soft, delicate things that they are, typically spend their waking hours surrounded by items of equal softness. When it es to sleeping , though, to cover a baby in all that softness can be a dangerous choice. Putting infants(婴儿) to bed with blankets and pillows has been linked to sudden infant death syndrome(SIDS), one of the leading causes of infant deaths in the U.S. Even so, more than half of American babies still sleep with unsafe bedding, according to a report published in the journal Pediatrics.“Parents have good intentions but may not understand that blankets, quilts, and pillows increase a babys risk of SIDS and accidental suffocation(窒息),” Carrie Shapiro-Mendoza, the studys lead author, said in a statement. While overall rates of SIDS have decreased in recent years, from 66.3 deaths per 100,000 infants in xx to 52.7 in xx, deaths from sleep suffocation have more than doubled over the same time period.The American Academy of Pediatrics(APP) first remended that infants sleep on their backs in 1992. In 1996, the AAP declared that sleeping areas should be “free of soft surfaces and gas-trapping objects.” Three years later, the Consumer Product Safety mission issued a safety warning that babies should be placed to sleep on their backs on a firm, tight-fitting mattress(床垫) in a crib(婴儿床) that meets current safety standards and that pillows, quilts, forters, sheepskins, and other pillow-like soft products should be removed from the crib.According to the most current guidelines from the National Institutes of Health(NIH), the safest way for a baby to sleep is alone in a crib, on its back, on a firm mattress covered only by a fitted sheet. Often, though, the safest method isnt the one that parents see.“Parents get a lot of mixed messages about how to put their infants to sleep,” Shapiro-Mendoza told The New York Time. “A relative will give them a quilt or a furry blanket than they may feel obligated(有义务的) to use, or they look at magazine and see a baby sleeping with a pillow.”“Media messages targeted toward mothers of infants or would-be mothers may also be related to the high popularity of using certain types of bedding,” the researchers wrote, “Seeing images such as these may strengthen beliefs that having these items in the infant sleep area is not only a favorable practice, but also the norm. ”58. According to the passage, what do parents usually do?A. Put babies to bed with pillows.B. Let babies sleep on their backsC. Let babies sleep alone in a crib.D. Follow the current guidelines of the NIH.59. What do researchers suggest parents do?A. Parents should get used to the norm of infant sleep.B. Parents should adopt favorable infant sleep practices.C. Parents should share their experiences on infant sleep.D. Parents should be cautious about what the media say about infant sleep.60. The passage is meant to _.A. criticize careless parents. B. discuss the safest way for infants to sleepC. justify traditional parenting methods. D. analyze the causes of infant deaths in the U.S.CThe healthy adolescent boy or girl likes to do the real things in life, to do the things that matter. He would rather be a plumbers mate and do a real job that requires doing than learn about hydrostatics(流体静力学) sitting at a desk, without understanding what practical use they are going to be. A girl would rather look after the baby than learn about child care. Logically we should learn about things before doing them and that is probably why the experts enforce this in our educational system. But it is not the natural way nor, in my view, the best way. The adolescent wants to do things first for only then does he appreciate the problems involved and want to learn more about them. They do these things better in primitive life, for there at puberty(青春期) the boy joins his father in making canoes, patching huts, going out fishing or hunting. He is serving his apprenticeship in the actual acplishments of life. It is not surprising that anthropologists(人类学家) find that the adolescents of primitive munities do not suffer from the same neurotic(神经质的) “difficulties” as those of civilized life. This is not, as some assume, because they are permitted more sexual freedom, but because they are given more natural outlets for their native interests and powers and are allowed to grow up freely into a full life of responsibility in the munity. In the 19th century this was recognized in the apprenticeship system, which allowed the boy to go out with the master carpenter, or ploughman, to engage in the actual work of carpentry or roof-mending, and so to learn his trade. In some agricultural colleges at the present time young men have to do a years work on a farm before their theoretical training at college. The great advantage of this system is that it lets the apprentice see the practical problems before he sets to work learning how to solve them, and he can therefore take a more intelligent interest in his theoretical work. Since more knowledge of more things is now required in order to cope with the adult world, the period of growing-up to independence takes much longer than it did in a more primitive munity, and the responsibility for such education, which formerly was in the hands of the parents, is now necessarily undertaken by experts at school. But that should not make us lose sight of the basic principle, namely the need and the desire of the adolescent to engage responsibly in the real pursuits of life and then to learn howto learn through responsibility, not to learn before responsibility. 61. According to the author, what is the natural way of education? A. Doing things before learning. B. Doing things as an apprentice. C. Doing things while learning. D. Learning practical knowledge first. 62. The main advantage of the natural way of education, whether in primitive or modern times, is that learners _. A. can learn the trade through solving problems at work B. can work with their masters throughout their learningC. are given opportunities to develop their interest firstD. are given more freedom in doing things and learning 63. According to the context, “this” in the third paragraph refers to _. A. the difficulties modern adolescents experience B. the way of learning in primitive munitiesC. the amount of freedom in learning in primitive life D. the kind of skills boys learned from their father 64. Which of the following sums up the authors main point? A. The apprenticeship system was effective in learning. B. Students should be given more freedom in learning. C. Students develop their interest through learning.D. Learning to solve problems is learning through responsibility.DI stared down at the $14.86 left in my hand after paying the weekly rent for the small house wed found. We had only a small amount of food in our kitchen. I wondered how I could have gotten my eight-year-old daughter and me to the point where we were so close to homelessness. I made one or two wrong assumptions about being able to find new employment. It seemed that I was on a ladder sliding downward, with no end in sight.Staying here were single moms trying to escape from bad marriages, alcoholics and people who just seemed to have a hard time fitting in. I fell normal, so what was I doing here? More importantly, was there something these people could teach me about surviving until I could climb out of my difficult situation? I swallowed my pride and began to knock on doors. Whether they were single parents or travelers, I was told how to donate blood to earn a bit of money and how one family worked at a local temp(临时雇员) agency that paid daily. Doing everything they remended allowed me to keep going.The whole time I continued to go to interview after interview in search of a regular job. I landed a job as a receptionist. I saw all the business partners as they came and went. Whenever I had an opportunity to make any kind of a positive impression, whether offering to return calls, making reservations, remending a solution to a callers problem or anything else, I did so. The effort paid off. My temp-to-perm job was lengthened for another two-week period. I was moved from the reception desk to the second assistant for one of the partners. This gave me the opportunity to see even more of what went on in the firm. I offered the executive assistant help in ple
