21、Cengiz Ozek sits at his desk in the poorly lit back office of his shadow theater near Taksim Square in central Istanbul. The theater is one of the last in operation in the city. He holds a piece of camel leather, a sheet of paper with some drawings on it, and a small cutter. In front of him are a few bottles of paints that he will use to create jointed puppets(皮影人偶). Ozek, one of the most influential contemporary Turkish puppeteers, hopes to appeal to a younger audience and boost the culture of Turkish shadow theater.
“There might be around 50 people, more or less, who do shadow theater in Turkey today, but only five or six of them are real professionals who are completely devoted to it," says Ozek while he works on a figure of Karagoz, the most famous figure in Turkish shadow theater---so famous is the character that the art itself is often called Karagoz.
To date, scholars have not been able to determine where this type of theater began to exist. Suggestions range from China to Central Asia, and from India to Byzantine Greece. Some scholars have focused on Bursa, the first capital city of the Ottoman Empire(奥斯曼帝国), and believe that the two main characters, Hacivat and Karagoz, were real people who lived in that city at the time. The two men were construction workers who often told jokes to amuse their co-workers, resulting in delays in the completion of their work. In the end, they were sentenced to death. However, the people of Bursa missed them so much that they began to tell their stories in the form of puppetry.
Ozek wants to open a Karagoz museum in his city in order to keep this art alive. He’s also developing new characters to catch the attention of children. "We first try to attract them with modern characters that they know, and while they’re watching, suddenly we bring out Karagoz," Ozek says. "We introduce him to them once again. When they watch it, they are satisfied, and we are happy as well. And like that, Karagoz survives in a way."
【1】What is Ozek doing according to paragraph 1?
A．He is making some puppets.
B．He is watching a puppet show.
C．He is taking a rest in his office.
D．He is performing for his audience.
【2】What can be learned about Turkish shadow theater?
A．It came to Turkey from India directly.
B．It first appeared at a construction site.
C．It is now on the path to decline.
D．It is usually known as Hacivat.
【3】What is stressed in the third paragraph?
A．The influence of shadow theater.
B．The origin of puppetry in Turkey.
C．The history of Bursa as a capital city.
D．The punishment in the Ottoman Empire.
【4】Why does Ozek want to open a Karagoz museum?
A．To breathe some life into his city.
B．To achieve his childhood dream.
C．To display puppeteers' works.
D．To carry shadow theater on.

23、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When people think of Hollywood, they think of the city where dreams come true．This did not apply to F．Scott Fitzgerald, a screenwriter who had his share of ups and downs in this land． Fitzgerald was not a successful Hollywood writer because he was not good at the career path he chose．He was an amazing novelist, but his efforts of turning them into screenplays ended in disappointment and confusion．It was because of a lack of potential for screenwriting as well as his addiction and desire to be famous．
Growing up as a boy, Fitzgerald went to movies a lot．He wanted to write stories that would eventually turn into movies．The problem was: just because Fitzgerald wanted to do something didn’t necessarily mean that he was good at it．He made his attempts, but most of these efforts ended in disappointment because he thought about the change from script（剧本）to screen too much．His plot was too detailed and complicated; his tone was too serious or his dialogue too sentimental（感伤的）．
Fitzgerald’s quick rise to fame also led to his fall．In life, things are not meant to happen all at once, all that the same time but it did for Fitzgerald． At his best time, three of his early stories were made into short films, including The Great Gatsby and Babylon Revisited． As the twenties approached, he was gradually forgotten by the reading public． He became drunk and constantly took pills both to sleep and wake up．His marriage was destroyed and his wife broke down mentally．He seemed unsure about his life．
Fitzgerald had another chance at success when many opportunities came his way, including revisions of Emlyn William’s play The Light of Heart and production of one of his own scripts, Cosmopolitan．However, these were all put aside and he was right back where he started, left behind and called a “ruined man”．Fitzgerald simply wanted too much in his life．He wanted “to be both a great novelist and a Hollywood success, to write songs like Cole Porter and poetry like John Keats”．His addiction to fame held him back and led to his failure as a Hollywood writer．
【1】Which is a reason that Fitzgerald failed in screenwriting?
A. He was not talented in screenwriting．

24、Our university provides an extensive range of courses for undergraduates and graduate students, including BA and PhD programs, as well as the opportunity to pursue a minor in creative writing. Our curriculum offers a wide variety of educational options to suit diverse academic interests and career goals.
Writing the musical book
Study and create the dramatic text of musical theater. The course starts with a grounding in the basics of text writing by studying outstanding examples of book writing, from Arthur Laurent’s Gypsy to Brian Yorkey's Pulitzer-winning Next To Normal. Students write a series of short scenes (5-10 pages) to be read aloud and critiqued (评判) in class, with the ultimate goal of completing an original or adapted book for a one-act musical (30-60 pages).
Introduction to creative writing
Learning to write creatively is like learning to sing, in that the writer is being her own instrument. The writer’s specific sensibility and especial competencies determine the range of excellence that the writer can comfortably operate in.
This course will focus on three genres: poetry, creative non-fiction, and fiction. More particularly, the course will focus on the sonnet, the profile, and the short story. Each section will feed into the next: the stanza (诗节) preparing us for the paragraph, and the interview leading into third person point-of-view.
Because learning to write creatively involves developing a form of muscle memory, there will be almost daily writing exercises. There will also be, and equally importantly, a daily writer’s diary of the experience of performing the exercise.
Duke in London: Arts
This course surveys London as a site of dynamic cultural production, whose participation in the global marketplace of artistic commodities (商品) reveals the city’s restlessly transnational, worldwide character. Studying local institutions, students are introduced to the complex relationship among art, state, and the global cultural marketplace. Students also participate in trips including dance, opera, and theater productions and visits to museums and other sites of cultural importance.
Understanding Film and Media
This course takes students through a critical exploration of the global film industry and various media platforms. Students will study film production, global media history, and socio-political impacts of films and media. The course will also touch upon the evolving aspects of media, including digital media, online platforms, and their economical and cultural impact.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, a man and a young teenage boy checked in to a hotel and were kindly shown to their room. The two staff members noted the quiet manner of the guests, and the pale appearance of the boy, who didn’t look quite well. Later, the man and the boy ate dinner in the hotel restaurant. The staff again noticed that the two guests were very quiet and barely talked to each other, and that the boy seemed disinterested in his food. After eating, the boy went directly to his room and the man went to reception and asked to see the manager. The receptionist asked if there was a problem with the service or the room, and offered to fix things, but the man said that there was no problem of that kind, and repeated his request in a kind manner. The manager was called and duly appeared. The man asked to speak in private and was taken into the manager’s office.
The man explained that he was spending the night in the hotel with his 14-year-old son, who was diagnosed with cancer and thus was seriously ill, probably terminally so. He had gone through various treatments which were supposed to make him feel better. And he did, but his mood changed forever. He was not as happy as before and usually felt down. The boy was soon to receive chemotherapy (化疗), which would cause him to lose his hair. The father knew this was going to end badly for his son. In order to lift the boy's spirits, they had come to the hotel to have a break together, enjoying some father- and-son moments. The father continued that the boy needed to shave his head that night, which would probably give him unwanted attention. He would like his son to be strong, rather than feel that the illness was beating him. In the meantime, he also wanted to protect. his son’s dignity (尊严) and let him feel normal just as everyone else.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The father said that he would be shaving his own head too.
