Chickenshed is an inclusive theatre company that first began in 1974.Primarily based at our own purpose built department in North London, we create theatre for all ages and run successful outreach projects, education courses and membership programmes throughout the year. We are also a registered charity and rely heavily on the generous support of individuals, companies, trusts and funds in order to continue our pioneering work.
Performance: Entertaining and inspiring
We regularly present original and entertaining productions for young children, families and adults that showcase talent. We also create new work, inspired by the people around us, about personal and social issues that affect society today which we then take on tour to theaters, community centers and schools across the UK. To date we've toured to over 200 schools, reaching 25,000 young people and rising.
Visit our What's On section to find out more.
Education: Everyone has a right
Chickenshed changes lives by bringing young people from all social and economic backgrounds, races and abilities together to study creatively alongside each other, many of whom have been ignored by society and excluded from mainstream educational settings. Chickenshed has established a network of partners that enables us to effectively target children and young people who would otherwise not be able to access our work. We also run Shedlink—an ongoing project that enables us to help community groups set up independent “Sheds” around the UK.
Membership: Celebrating diversity
Our work uses the stage to celebrate diversity and performance as a vehicle to solve topical social issues. We hold weekly workshops where young people can gain a new found confidence and get the chance to perform in major in house productions. Visit the Membership section for more information.

Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp(竖琴), near Alexandria’s historic waterfront.
A glass harp is made up of different sized drinking glasses, each containing water. Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical sound.
Turner is 78 years old now. He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table. He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound. Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound. The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.
Turner always uses low priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound. Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument. There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on the Internet. He hopes the next generation will continue making their music.
4．What do we know about Turner
A．He began playing the glass harp at six.
B．He often teaches glass harp lessons online.
C．He is a great master of the Chinese language.
D．He was inspired by his father to learn the glass harp.

A．Its inventor is Wolfgang Mozart.
B．It is made up of glasses of the same size.
C．It appears to be gaining in popularity today.
D．Its sounds are affected by the amount of water in the glasses.
6．Why does Turner prefer to use cheap glass
A．To save money.
B．To produce better sounds.
C．To help recycle drinking glasses.
D．To increase difficulty in performing.
7．What would be the best title for the text
A．A Musician Pleases Crowds by Playing the Glass Harp
B．Playing the Glass Harp: a New Trend
C．Jamey Turner’s Dream Coming True
D．Wonderful Music Has No Borders

1．答案与解析：subjects 考查名词复数。one of后需跟名词的复数形式，表示“……之一”。
2．答案与解析：the 考查冠词。根据上文内容可知，此处是特指Hamlet这部剧，故用定冠词the。
3．答案与解析：comparison 考查名词。冠词a后面需跟名词单数。make a comparison进行比较。
4．答案与解析：Dating 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处是非谓语动词短语作状语，动词date和逻辑主语Peking Opera之间是主动关系，故填现在分词Dating。

【语篇解读】杰米·特纳经常在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大人群密集的地方演奏玻璃竖琴：敲击不同大小的盛水的玻璃杯，发出动听的乐声。他不仅能演奏玻璃竖琴专门乐曲，还能用它演奏中国流行音乐。
4．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.”可知，在六岁时，杰米·特纳听到父亲在餐桌上用一玻璃杯水演奏音乐，开始对玻璃竖琴产生兴趣。据此可知，D项正确。
5．D 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第三、四句“He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound.”可知，杯子中的水量不同，产生的音调也不同；添加或去掉少量水就会改变声音。据此可知，玻璃竖琴的声音受杯子中水量的影响，故D项正确。
6．B 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Turner always uses low priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound.”可知，特纳总是使用低价玻璃杯是因为其声音听起来比昂贵的水晶杯好听，故B项正确。

When I was 14 years old, my best friend __1__ (drag) me to an after school dance class, __2__ I enjoyed so much that I have been dancing ever since.

On __6__ other hand, many people argue that dance is an art form.

However, whether you consider dance to be an art __9__ a sport, the important thing is to enjoy it! Dancing is a great way __10__ (make) new friends and exercise!
这是一篇议论文。作者阐述了不同的人对舞蹈的不同见解。
1．dragged
解析：考查一般过去时。句意：当我14岁的时候，我最好的朋友带我去了一个课外舞蹈班，我非常喜欢这个班，从那以后我就一直跳舞。分析句子可知，本句为when引导的时间状语从句。由从句用一般过去时，可以判断出主句时态为一般过去时，所以谓语动词为dragged。故填dragged。
2．which
解析：考查关系代词。句意：当我14岁的时候，我最好的朋友带我去了一个课外舞蹈班，我非常喜欢这个班，从那以后我就一直跳舞。分析句子可知， dance class为先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作enjoy的宾语。所以关系代词为which。故填which。
3．going
解析：考查动词 ing形式作宾语的用法。句意：这感觉就像去健身房锻炼一样，但是跳舞并不被广泛认为是一项运动。as...as...在此表示“和……一样……”，第二个as是介词，设空处在此作as的宾语，故填going。
4．widely
解析：考查副词。句意：这感觉就像去健身房锻炼一样，但是跳舞并不被广泛认为是一项运动。设空处作状语修饰谓语，表示“广泛地”。故填widely。
5．your
解析：考查代词。句意：无论你参加哪种类型的舞蹈，你都会在跳舞的时候用到你所有的肌肉，一天通常会持续几个小时。设空处修饰muscles, 表示“你的”，故填形容词词性物主代词your。故填your。
6．the
解析：考查固定短语。句意：另一方面，许多人认为舞蹈是一种艺术形式。on the other hand 意为“另一方面”，为固定短语。故填the。
7．stories
解析：考查名词复数。句意：舞蹈通常会表达情感，讲故事等。story是可数词，其词前无任何修饰成分，所以用story的复数stories。故填stories。
8．professional
解析：考查形容词。句意：随着音乐跳舞很有创意，对眼睛和耳朵有直观的吸引力，就像在看戏剧或专业乐队表演一样。设空处作定语修饰band，意为“专业的”。故填professional。
9．or
解析：考查连词。句意：然而，无论你认为舞蹈是一门艺术还是一项运动，重要的是你得喜欢它！whether...or... 意为“不管……还是……”，引导让步状语从句。故填or。
10．to_make
解析：考查形容词作定语的用法。句意：跳舞是结交新朋友和锻炼身体的好方法。way后常跟不定式作定语，表示“……的方式”。故填to make。
