This grup f Nrth Bergen High Schl students wrked hard fr six mnths t bring Alien(异形）, a science fictin mvie, t life n their small stage. We can imagine their excitement when the perfrmance(表演) suddenly brught the Hllywd film star t their side.
Teens at Nrth Bergen High Schl put tgether a stage adaptin(改编) f Ridley Sctt’s great film Alien. Althugh their schl ffered them nly $3,500 fr the play, they greatly succeeded in playing it. The grup was made up f 20 students. Their clthes were all made f ld materials.
After sme f the watchers sent the vide f the play t the Internet, the teens became famus n Internet and Hudsn Cunty peple asked them fr anther perfrmance. When the students said they didn’t have enugh mney fr a secnd perfrmance，directr(导演) Ridley Sctt sent them $5,000 and said in a letter:
“My hat cmes ff t all f yur imaginatin and decisins t have such a wnderful shw. Bad cnditins ften give the best results because imaginatin and decisins can beat any shrtfall and decide the way frward--always.”
As the kids put n that secnd shw f Alien: The Play t celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary, Sigurney Weaver shwed up. As the star f the riginal(原版)1979 mvie, she was seated in the frnt rw alng with the rest f the 830 audience members. She als happily tk pictures with the yung players.
Later, the grup received ne final surprise when fficers frm the New Yrk Cnservatry fr Dramatic Arts(戏剧艺术学)ffered each perfrmer a $10,000 schlarship, and a $1,000 summer prgram schlarship t each grup member.

Have yu ever tried t hide yur emtins (情绪) frm smene during a cnversatin? It is nt always easy, as the clurs n yur face may tell the truth. Scientists frm cllege in the USA have fund that peple are able t tell ther peple’s emtins frm clur changes f their faces.
The scientists studied pictures f peple’s facial expressins (面部表情). They have fund that every facial expressin has a special clur style. Fr example, happiness makes ur faces red arund the cheeks and temples (脸颊和太阳穴) and a little blue arund the chin. Disgust (厌恶) creates blue--yellw clur arund the muth and a red-green clur arund the nse.
“We believe these clur styles are frm small changes f bld caused by the central nervus system (中枢神经系统),” scientist Aleix Martinez said. But this idea brings a questin: Des the clur alne r als the facial expressin help peple tell their emtins t thers?
T wrk this prblem ut, scientists added clur styles t pictures f faces withut facial expressins. They asked vlunteers t tell what emtins the faces were shwing. Vlunteers culd tell mst f the emtins exactly.
This may explain why sme Chinese sayings cnnect emtins with the clur f ne’s face. Fr example, when tw peple are excitedly arguing ver smething, we say they are red in the face. When a persn is very angry, we say he r she is blue in the face.
Accrding t the article, scientists have fund that it’s easy t tell ther peple’s emtins
frm __________.
A. peple’s facial expressins B. the clur f peple’s clthes
C. the changes f peple’s face D. the weather
52. What did scientists d t wrk ut the prblem?
They added clur styles t pictures f faces with facial expressins.
They tried t tell what emtins the faces were shwing.
They explained why sme Chinese sayings cnnect emtins with the clur f ne's face.
They invited sme vlunteers t help them d the research.
53. We can infer frm the passage_________________
A girl in a gd md will have a blue face arund her cheek and temple.
A parent is red in the face when he is angry with the naughty child.
Tw students have blue faces when they are talking smething excitedly.
Sme happy students are red in the faces when playing basketball.

Millins f peple visit Machu Picchu each year. It is an ancient Inca city in the muntains f Peru. Steep steps and rugh paths make the trip a challenge. It used t be nearly impssible fr peple with a physical disability t finish the trip.
Wheel the Wrld has changed that. The cmpany ffers wheelchair--accessible(可到达的) turs f Machu Picchu and ther places arund the wrld. “Nrmally, peple with disabilities think that these kinds f places are nt pssible fr them,” Camil Navarr tld reprters. He set up Wheel the Wrld with his best friend, Alvar Silberstein. Silberstein uses a wheelchair.
Navarr and Silberstein started Wheel the Wrld after hiking Trres del Paine in 2016. It is a natinal park in Chile. Silberstein was the first persn t travel the park in a wheelchair. “Our stry went ppular,” he said. “We started receiving hundreds f requests frm peple wanting t repeat this trip. ”
Tday, Wheel the Wrld runs 40 wheelchair-accessible trips in five cuntries. The cmpany ffers cars and htels with ramps(斜坡). It directs peple t accessible bathrms. It even teaches lcal guides t help wheelchair users get arund.
Wheel the Wrld uses a special wheelchair fr the Machu Picchu trip. It can be pushed like a wheelbarrw(独轮车). It can als be flded up and put int a car easily. “It’s a super strng wheelchair. It allws yu t get t every crner in all kinds f places,” Navarr said. “Wherever smebdy with a disability wants t g, he r she can get there with that wheelchair. ”
Wheel the Wrld hpes t give peple with disabilities the same pprtunities as everyne else. “The wrld hasn’t been planned fr peple with a disability,” Navarr said. “It’s imprtant t build a fairer and better wrld. ”
54. What is “Wheel the Wrld” in the passage?

恰当的单词。所填单词必须写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。每个空格只能填
一个单词。（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）
When it cmes t the letter grade n yur test r hmewrk, yu might ntice that there is n letter E. Have yu ever thught abut why that is s?
In the A, B,C, D and F grading system, the first fur letters are typically cnsidered passing grades. An F in this system stands fr “fail”. The wrd “fail” happens t start with the letter F, which seems t leave ut the letter E.
We shuld pint ut that E grade actually has been used by a lt f peple thrughut the histry f letter grades in the US. Hwever, many schls decided t drp the E grade and g straight t F. There is n evidence (证据) t really supprt this, but ne pssible explanatin is that teachers were wrried that sme students and parents might think it meant “excellent”.
Why d we have letter grades? Well, it is pssible that they made grading simpler during a time f great change fr schls. As the 20th century began, grwing cities and an increase in immigratin (移民) led t larger schl classrms. Mst teachers at that time thught this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way t grade students.
Tday, mre and mre peple argue that letter grades dn’t fully shw students’ learning. Hwever, as teachers try t imprve grading methds, many parents welcme the letter grades they gt as kids. They are familiar (熟悉) and easy fr parents t understand. S while they might nt be perfect, the letter grades prbably aren’t ging away any time sn.
