Dancing until you drop is a wellknown saying, but would you really be able to dance until you dropped dead? In 1374, in some European towns, people did exactly that. They were struck by a dancing plague (瘟疫) that forced them to dance.
This phenomenon (现象) was reported to have happened throughout parts of Western Europe, affecting people from the 14th to the 17th century. Hardly stopping to eat or even sleep, they would dance, sometimes for days on end, making this one of the strangest sicknesses in Western history.
Over the next century, there were only a few outbreaks. However, in the summer of 1518, it reappeared in the city of Strasbourg, France. It all began with a woman called Mrs. Troffea, who started to dance crazily in the street.
She was soon joined by 34 people within a week; by the end of the month, the crowd had increased to 400, most of whom were women. Again, people were dancing until they could no longer continue, with some finally dying from heart attacks or exhaustion. One report shows that the plague was killing around 15 people per day.
As the plague worsened, concerned nobles (贵族) turned to the advice of local doctors, who said that the plague was a “natural disease” caused by “hot blood”. So the nobles encouraged more dancing.
The reason behind their actions was they believed the dancers could only recover if they danced continuously night and day. The nobles even paid for musicians to keep the moving.
Then, as before, it disappeared almost as suddenly as it had come.
While these events may sound highly unbelievable, there is clear written evidence that it did happen.
Now, historians and scientists are still trying to find out the true cause of this phenomenon.
24．What do we know about the plague?
A．It cost some people's lives.
B．It took place twice in history.
C．It affected people of all ages.
D．It stopped in the 16th century.
25．Why did the nobles encourage more dancing?
A．To see the hot blood.
B．To kill the dancing people.
C．To free people of the plague.
D．To prove the doctors' words.
26．How did the plague disappear?
A．For no reason.
B．With local doctors' help.
C．With Mrs. Troffea's help.
D．Because of some natural power.
27．What's the purpose of the text?
A．To show the history of dancing.
B．To introduce a wellknown English saying.
C．To provide information on the dancing plague.
D．To explain the reason behind the dancing plague.

Steel Vengeance, a worldrecordbreaking hybrid roller coaster, recently made its first public appearance at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio.
The ride is constructed from both wood and steel (钢). A steel running track on a huge wooden base allows the ride to provide the types of twists (扭转) and turns that are not possible on wooden roller coasters.
Steel Vengeance breaks ten world records, including tallest, fastest, and longest hybrid roller coaster. “It is just a roller coaster that you want to ride again and again，” said Tony Clark, director of communications at Cedar Point. The 90degree, 200foot drop on the first hill takes your breath away.
At a recent event at Cedar Point, I experienced the excitement of the new ride firsthand. Thanks to my strong heart, I had a really cool time!
THE MAKING OF VENGEANCE
“The biggest part of making a roller coaster is planning it，” Clark said.
Jason McClure, general manager of Cedar Point, added：“We have to get a main idea of the basics of the coaster and then plan a budget.”
WOOD, STEEL, AND HARD WORK
Rocky Mountain construction designed and built Steel Vengeance. About 1.2 million pounds of steel and 1.4 million boards of wood were used to build the ride.
Fred Grubb, cofounder of Rocky Mountain, noted that “people who design roller coasters for my company have to have firsthand experience building things with their hands, not just hold an engineering degree. When you have built things for yourself, you get it, and understand what will work.”
Clark was pleased with the results. “We at Cedar Point are so happy with how Steel Vengeance turned out，” he said.
McClure added：“What we put into this roller coaster was wood, steel, and a lot of hard work.”
28．What can we learn about Steel Vengeance?
A．It is going through tests.
B．It belongs to Rocky Mountain.
C．It is made from both steel and wood.
D．It was mainly designed by Fred Grub.
29．What advantage does Steel Vengeance have over wooden roller coasters?
A．It will last longer.
B．It cost less money.
C．It took less time to build.
D．It offers more kinds of twists.
30．How did the author feel on Steel Vengeance?
A．Worried. B．Excited.
C．Frightened. D．Shocked.
31．People who design roller coasters for Rocky Mountain must ________.
A．hold an arts degree
B．be roller coaster lovers
C．be skilful at wood work
D．have built things themselves
D
Water conservation (保护) means using limited water supply wisely and caring for it properly. Since each of us depends on water to support life, it is our responsibility to learn more about water conservation and how we can help keep our sources pure and safe for generations to come. Below are some of the main reasons why it's important to conserve water.
It diminishes the effects of drought and water shortages. Even though our need for fresh water is always increasing because of population and industry growth, the supply we have stays the same. Even though water eventually returns to the Earth through the water cycle, it's not always returned to the same spot, or with the same quantity and quality. By reducing the amount of water we use, we can better protect against future drought years.
It guards against a series of social problems. Failing to conserve water, can eventually lead to a lack of water supply, which can have bad results. These include rising costs, reduced food supplies, health dangers, and even political conflict. Many fears have been expressed that water wars will occur in the future as water is becoming scarcer and scarcer (更稀缺的)．
It helps to protect our environment. Reducing our water usage reduces the energy required to process water and deliver it to businesses, farms, and communities, which, in turn, helps to reduce pollution and conserve energy.
It builds safe and beautiful communities. Hospitals, gas stations, health clubs, gyms, and restaurants all require large amounts of water to provide services for communities. Reducing our usage of water means that these services can continue to be provided. Much of our fresh water can also be used for beautifying our surroundings — trees, flowers, vegetable gardens, as well as filling public fountains.
Water conservation requires effort, and every little bit helps. Don't think that what you do does not matter. We can all make changes in our lifestyles to reduce our water usage. The trick is making water conservation a way of life — not just something we think about once in a while.
32．What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?
A．Conserving water is very difficult.
B．Everyone should learn to conserve water.
C．Many people don't care about water waste.
D．Water shortage will influence the later generations.
33．What does the underlined word “diminishes” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Proves. B．Reduces.
C．Examines. D．Removes.
34．Why does the author mention the services in Paragraph 5?
A．To explain what services need water the most.
B．To show water is widely used in our daily life.
C．To explain why people today love to conserve water.
D．To show conserving water benefits our communities.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Why Do Water Resources Become Scarcer?
B．How Can We Make Our World a Better Place?
C．Why Should We Conserve Water in Our Daily Life?
D．How Can We Conserve Water to Protect Our Earth?

Water conservation (保护) means using limited water supply wisely and caring for it properly. Since each of us depends on water to support life, it is our responsibility to learn more about water conservation and how we can help keep our sources pure and safe for generations to come. Below are some of the main reasons why it's important to conserve water.
It diminishes the effects of drought and water shortages. Even though our need for fresh water is always increasing because of population and industry growth, the supply we have stays the same. Even though water eventually returns to the Earth through the water cycle, it's not always returned to the same spot, or with the same quantity and quality. By reducing the amount of water we use, we can better protect against future drought years.
It guards against a series of social problems. Failing to conserve water, can eventually lead to a lack of water supply, which can have bad results. These include rising costs, reduced food supplies, health dangers, and even political conflict. Many fears have been expressed that water wars will occur in the future as water is becoming scarcer and scarcer (更稀缺的)．
It helps to protect our environment. Reducing our water usage reduces the energy required to process water and deliver it to businesses, farms, and communities, which, in turn, helps to reduce pollution and conserve energy.
It builds safe and beautiful communities. Hospitals, gas stations, health clubs, gyms, and restaurants all require large amounts of water to provide services for communities. Reducing our usage of water means that these services can continue to be provided. Much of our fresh water can also be used for beautifying our surroundings — trees, flowers, vegetable gardens, as well as filling public fountains.
Water conservation requires effort, and every little bit helps. Don't think that what you do does not matter. We can all make changes in our lifestyles to reduce our water usage. The trick is making water conservation a way of life — not just something we think about once in a while.
32．What does Paragraph 1 mainly show?
A．Conserving water is very difficult.
B．Everyone should learn to conserve water.
C．Many people don't care about water waste.
D．Water shortage will influence the later generations.
33．What does the underlined word “diminishes” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Proves. B．Reduces.
C．Examines. D．Removes.
34．Why does the author mention the services in Paragraph 5?
A．To explain what services need water the most.
B．To show water is widely used in our daily life.
C．To explain why people today love to conserve water.
D．To show conserving water benefits our communities.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Why Do Water Resources Become Scarcer?
B．How Can We Make Our World a Better Place?
C．Why Should We Conserve Water in Our Daily Life?
D．How Can We Conserve Water to Protect Our Earth?
