21、Crosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in China’s tea houses and theaters. Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin, entertained by the apprentices(徒弟) of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan—all leading crosstalk artists of years past—for only 20 yuan.
The success in Tianjin has also caused the rejuvenation (复活) of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.
Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty(1644-1911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars formed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was well-known nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances.
Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, “face and voice”), crosstalk was the chief form of comedy throughout most of the 205th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.
Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to social issues of the time. Although there’re hundreds of traditional pieces, they’re constantly rewritten to suit the times and audience, while new works are written as well. It’s one of the features that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history.
“Crosstalk was in the doldrums(萎靡不振) with competition from other art forms, especially TV,” said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). “But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware (意识到) of its rare qualities.
“More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students”, said Wang. “They’re sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”

C．crosstalk was the most popular art form in the 20th century

【3】Crosstalk has been a public art form party because_________.
A．it is a popular traditional art after all
B．the pieces contain some famous folk tales
C．the crosstalkers make it return to teahouses
D．the pieces are made to suit the times and the audience
【4】We can learn that the future of crosstalk first lies in_________.
A．setting up more storytelling art schools
B．beating TV and other arts
C．young people’s understanding of its value

23、Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.
One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.
Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.
School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “people person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.
Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.
【1】When it comes to going to college the author thinks ________.
A. financial situation is the first to consider
B. students are unwilling to leave their home
C. students will become homesick
D. students are eager to attend their ideal university
【2】What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Students can be independent at college.
B. A long distance will make students upset.
C. The location of the college is a main factor.
D. The climate must be taken into consideration.
【3】What does the underlined part “people person” in the passage mean?
A. A person of great capacity.
B. A very particular person.
C. A very sociable person.
D. A person of great importance.
【4】Which is the most important factor when choosing a college?
A. The location of a college.
B. The examination result.
C. School size.
D. The coming challenges.
24、 It often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.
There are many arguments about the interview as a selection procedure. One argument is that it gives rise to a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate, but the one who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidate’s likely performance. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees.
Those in favour of the interview insist that the well-structured procedure is valid in assessing a candidate’s ability, an essential guarantee for the future job. They also argue that an employer is concerned not only with a candidate’s ability, but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary so long as she has a pleasant personality. Perhaps the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality and social ability.
Today, interview is still a common section of the entire selection procedure, though different employers have different standards for competence. Generally speaking, candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful; direct and straight-forward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behaviour. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Employers are experienced in assessing the interviewees’ performance.
B.Interview is not always recognized as a sensible way to choose employees.
C.The interview helps the employers to pick the desired employees.
D.The remarkable candidates often distinguish themselves in an interview.
【2】Which may not be considered in an interview?
A.Personality B.Communication skills
C.Background D.Capability
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure?
A.Supportive B.Negative
C.Objective D.Unconcerned
【4】The last paragraph indicates _________________.
A.a link between success in interview and character
B.connections between work abilities and character
C.differences in interview experience
D.differences in personal behaviour
