22、The theatre in Shakespeare’s time was much different than it is today. Authors wrote plays for the masses, especially those who couldn’t read or write.
The theatre changed a lot during Shakespeare’s lifetime. The authorities didn’t like it and didn’t allow acting in the city itself. They thought it had a bad influence on people and kept them from going to church. Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, loved acting and helped the theatre become popular.
The theatre in Shakespeare’s time was full of life. People did not sit all the time and it was not quiet during the performance. The audience could walk around, eat and drink during the play.
Theatres were open arenas or playhouses that had room for up to three thousand people. There was almost no scenery because the dialogue was the most important part of the play. Colourful and well-designed costumes were very important and told the people about the status of a character. Women never performed in plays, so young boys played female characters. The performances took place in the afternoon because it was too dark at night.
There was no stage crew as there is today. Actors had to do everything themselves — from making costumes to setting the stage. Plays were organized by acting companies. They performed about 6 different plays each week because they needed money to survive. They had almost no time to rehearse (排练).
The companies in Shakespeare’s time had a rank system. The companies belonged to shareholders and managers. They were responsible for everything and got most of the money when the company was successful. Sometimes they even owned their own buildings. Actors worked for the managers and after some time became a permanent member of the company. Apprentices (学徒) were young boys and were allowed to act in unimportant roles. They also played female characters in plays.
【1】Why was the theatre banned by the authorities?
A．It was much different than before.
B．They thought it affected people negatively.
C．They thought it kept people going to church.
D．The queen didn’t like it.
【2】What does the underlined word “arenas” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Stages.
B．Stores.
C．Companies.
D．Systems.
【3】What do we know about the actors?
A．They could drink during the play.
B．They were rich by running acting companies.
C．They had stage crew to help them.
D．They were too busy to practice.
【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To remember Shakespeare.
B．To show his love of Shakespeare’s plays.
C．To introduce theatres in Shakespeare’s time.
D．To discuss the company’s rank system.
23、Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the 7th century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏远的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available(可利用的) to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were seldom used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
【1】From the text we know that windmills__________.
A. were invented by European armies
B. used to supply power to radio in remote areas
C. have a history of more than 2,800 years
D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
【2】What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?
A. Producing electricity. B. Sailing a boat.
C. Grinding wheat into flour. D. Pumping water from ground.
【3】One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that______.
A. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs
B. it is one of the oldest power sources
C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D. wind power is cleaner
【4】The passage is mainly about______________.
A. the global pollution from burning coal and gas
B. the worldwide movement to save energy
C. the history of using wind power
D. the advantages of windmills
24、Race walkers use very specific techniques in order to be able to walk very fast while maintaining contact with the ground with at least one foot. Race walkers are careful not to make some mistakes that break the rules.【1】
Bending (弯曲) Knee
【2】The supporting leg must have its knee straight from the moment the supporting foot touches the ground. If you break this rule at a race walking competition, you will be disqualified.
Overstriding (步幅过大)
Overstriding, also called overstriking, is landing your supporting foot too far in front of your body.【3】Race walkers should concentrate on lengthening the stride in the back of the body for a powerful push forward while landing the front foot closer to the body.
Leaning (倾斜) Forward
A slight forward lean used to be taught by race walking coaches. This old technique shows a slight forward lean at the waist.【4】It is no longer taught by race walking coaches because many walkers bend forward more than it is recommended.
Leaning Backward
Some race walkers find themselves easily leaning backward.【5】A race walker must have kept a straight leg from the time when the forward foot contacts the ground. So it is not advised to lean backward.
A．This technique has proved to be ineffective.
B．Leaning forward a lot should not be prohibited.
C．Here are some common mistakes you need know about.
D．A backward lean makes achieving a straight leg more difficult.
