All the students in the hall stood up and craned (伸长) their necks to get a better look. In their eyes, Jin opera was something from the past.They are not alone. It goes without saying that kids nowadays are much more familiar with popular music than traditional opera, which is why performing artist Wu Lingyun, together with his colleagues, goes to campuses to promote the art. Wu Lingyun is best known for his role as Guan Gong, a general during the late Han Dynasty period.Wu began playing the role in 1985, at the age of 21, and has been associated with it ever since.Wu was significantly influenced by his parents, both of whom are also famous Jin opera performers. With a natural talent for performing and great effort, Wu was soon recognized by audiences and later awarded the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2000, the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts.Given Wu’s considerable fame, one might think he would now prefer to enjoy a life of leisure. However, this is far from the case. Deep down, Wu has a big dream. He pictures a growing future for Jin opera. Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin opera could become a worldwide art.Wu has also made some changes to the traditional art to bring it up-to-date.“Jin opera should keep pace with the times if we want to bring it back to life and get the young generation to accept it,“ he says. “An art without life can never survive”“；4．How did the students react to the performance at the hall?A．They became bored. B．They got disappointed. C．They felt curious. D．They looked casual；5．What do we know about Wu Lingyun?A．He got a top award in 2000. B．He started his performance in his teens.C．He now enjoys a leisure life. D．He became famous because of his parents.；6．What does Wu Lingyun expect of Jin opera?A．It’ll be studied as a college major. B．It’ll be officially recognized.C．It’ll have an easier performing form. D．It’ll be popular across the world.；7．Which of the following best describes Wu Lingyun?A．Humorous. B．Kind-minded. C．Cautious. D．Devoted.C（议论文）Children should do housework. That’s a controversial(有争议的) idea, though not everyone will admit it. A few parents will say that their children are too busy for housework. Many more of us assign(分派) housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn’t get done.That’s a problem. For starters, housework is good for kids. Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others, while at the same time contributing to their emotional well-being.One small study, done over a period of 25 years, found that the best predictor(预测) for young adults’ success in their mid-20s was whether they participated in household tasks at age 3 or 4. Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.But for all that their help matters, few kids are doing much around the house at all. In a survey of 1,000 American adults, 75 percent said they believed regular housework made kids “more responsible”. Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework.Sports and homework are not get-out-of-housework-free cards. The goal, after all, is to raise adults who can balance a caring role in their families and communities with whatever lifetime achievement goals they choose. Housework teaches that balance.What should you do when getting children to do housework? Accept no excuses. Don’t worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you’re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself, then you’re doing it right. Can a payment help? Maybe. But if you’re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for routine housework is not the right message.；8．What can we infer from the first paragraph?A．Very few children get housework done.B．Children are very busy with housework.C．Housework is a must-do for parents.D．Family members should respect each other.；9．What is found in the small study?A．Housework helps a man live a happy life.B．A man’s success depends on his housework.C．Housework benefits a sense of responsibility.D．A child must start doing housework at Age 3.；10．What does the author advise parents to do in the last paragraph?A．Balance housework and study. B．Help the child do housework positively.C．Do housework by themselves. D．Pay the child for housework.；11．What is the best title of the text?A．Adults Do Less Housework in the US B．Housework Matters to ChildrenC．Parents Words Speak Louder D．Children Need More Care at HomeD（说明文）Encouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable component of all children’s education, according to new research.Dr. Helen Lees, from Stirling University’s school of education, says that “enforced silence” is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress children’s natural ability. But she says that teaching children about the benefits of “enforced silence”—deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environment—can have a significant effect on pupils’ concentration and behavior.It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils’ academic ability.A study almost a decade ago in London found that children’s exam results were cut by as much as a third if they were taught in noisy classrooms. Teaching unions have also called for a limit of 26℃ to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions, and some educationalists claim that too much clutter on classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating.Dr. Lees said, “When we take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense. In areas of better learning outcomes, better self- confidence and well-being measures, enforced silence in a person’s life and an individual’s education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit.”Dozens of schools across Britain have already introduced periods of “reflective silence” into the timetable.Kevin Hogston, head of Sheringdale Primary, south London, has just introduced a minute’s silence at the start of twice-weekly meetings in which children are taught breathing techniques and encouraged to reflect. The school plans to introduce it into classrooms every day.12．According to Dr. Helen Lees, “enforced silence” ＿＿A．is an effective way of punishment B．does not make much sense in classC．can improve pupils’ confidence D．makes pupils more creative13．The underlined word “suppress” in the second paragraph probably means “       ”.A．prevent B．improveC．apply D．reveal14．What can be inferred from the research on school settings?A．Students are more active if taught in noisy classrooms.B．Silence makes a great difference to pupils.C．Clutter on the walls can help students concentrate.D．Most schools are not satisfactory in terms of classroom temperatures.15．What would be the best title for the text?A．Arranging classroom settings benefits studiesB．Achieving silence is beneficial for peopleC．Using enforced silence is effective punishmentD．Keeping quiet in class improves academic performance    1．C    2．B    3．C    4．C    5．A    6．D    7．D   8．A   9．C    10．B    11．B12．C；   13．A；14．B；15．D
