In America, we have a thing called stand-up comedy. This popular form of entertainment consists of a comedian standing up at the front of a club, holding a microphone, and telling jokes. Of course, comedy is popular in Chinese culture as well, but the performances are quite different from the style in the US. In China, it’s called cross-talk, which usually involves two guys engaging in an entertaining dialogue.
It’s believed that cross-talk came into being in the Qing Dynasty as a bit of a by-product of the imitation shows that were a popular form of entertainment in the Song Dynasty. After the PRC was established in 1949, this comedic art became more and more popular. Today, it’s still heavily featured in the CCTV New Year’s Gala programmes in China. The 1990s was the golden age of cross-talk; even foreigners studied the art of cross-talk. Mark Roswell, a Canadian named Da Shan in Chinese was relatively unknown in his native land but was a superstar in China. At the turn of the century, cross-talk began to decline, and many well-known actors left the stage.
There are four skills that are essential in cross-talk: speaking, imitating, teasing, and singing. Most of the time, it is performed with two actors—one serves as the lead actor while the other plays a support role. However, sometimes it is performed simply as a one-man show, and at other times there are several actors. In order to criticize something, the humor involved in cross-talk is satirical.
28．What’s the difference between American stand-up comedy and Chinese cross-talk
A．Chinese cross-talk actors don’t use a microphone.
B．American stand-up comedy actors are all men.
C．Chinese cross-talk is more liked by Canadians.
D．American stand-up comedy is only a one-man show.
29．Which word can best summarize Paragraph 2
A．History. B．Future. C．Features. D．Difference.
30．What can we know about Mark Roswell
A．He was an American stand-up comedian.
B．He was very popular with Canadians.
C．He was a famous cross-talker in China.
D．He left the stage in the early 1990s.
31．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “satirical” in Paragraph 3
A．Acid-tongued. B．Good-tempered.
C．Warm-hearted. D．Smooth-tongued.
D
As people hold different views on almost anything, we live in a judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults and imperfections of others, yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided souls believe they have a duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.
So what is the possible solution to criticism
If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive.
Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.
It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake Could I have done better Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand If so, how can I improve myself As for chronic(习惯性的) criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.
In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party.
32．What may the author think of people who prefer to judge others
A．Warm-hearted. B．Self-centered. C．Talkative. D．Responsible.
33．What does a person probably convey by saying “OK” according to paragraph 3
A．He thinks the suggestions are helpful.
B．He defenses himself with the response.
C．He agrees with the comments completely.
D．He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments.
34．What is the key to making an objective observer according to paragraph 4
A．Having debates. B．Accepting criticism.
C．Keeping calm. D．Avoiding criticizers.
35．What is the purpose of the text
A．To make a judgment on others. B．To explain some social behavior.
C．To call for action against attack. D．To give advice on facing criticism.

Strategies to Bring Diversity into the Classroom
As we teach children to prepare for college or the workplace, teachers must address the possibility of living and working in a diverse country. Diversity in the classroom teaches children to appreciate different perspectives (观点), which is a skill they will use for the rest of their lives. 36 , because they are not sure what diversity in the classroom even looks like. Here are a few strategies to start diversifying your classroom.
1. Include diverse learning and teaching material. 37 . Expose children to material which represents
multiple viewpoints and perspectives. Your materials should include different nationalities, races, languages, abilities, socio-economic backgrounds and current affairs.
2. 38 . There is always more than one opinion on how to solve a problem. Encouraging your students to discover different solutions allows everyone’s voice to be heard and respected. This can increase participation and teach children to work together even if they have a different opinion or support a different perspective.
3. Get to know your students. This is a strategy that many feel they have mastered, but getting to know your students is more than just knowing their name. Know where your students come from, their socio-economic status, culture, and issues that are important to the students and their families. 39 , but when you know your students you are more able to promote diversity.
4. Connect with parents and the community. Schools are an important part of the community and should reflect and celebrate the diversity within the community. Listening and acting upon parents questions and concerns is the first step. 40 , and this will enable people from different backgrounds to inspire your students for their future goals.
A．Give students freedom and flexibility
B．Support students in differing viewpoints
C．However, many teachers struggle in this area
D．Invite community leaders into your classroom
E．They can count down the days until school starts
F．It is one way to bring diversity into your classroom
G．Building personal relationships with students takes time

I was confident at the audition (试演) for the school play and felt pleased to get a role. It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and
over again. I put in the emphases and intonations (语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse (排练) and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing.
Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chatting and noises of the audience. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that their previous confidence seemed to have disappeared. Had they got their makeup right Was the costume done up correctly What if they forgot their lines The more people talked about their anxiety, the more nervous everyone became. The worries spread from person to another—like a baton (接力棒) being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be full of tension and worry.
I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue (出场提示), the lights were bright in my eyes, I couldn’t see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror didn’t want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words.

【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了中国传统曲艺相声的起源、发展和文化影响力。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“This popular form of entertainment consists of a comedian standing up at the front of a club, holding a microphone, and telling jokes. (这种流行的娱乐形式包括一个喜剧演员站在俱乐部前面，拿着麦克风讲笑话。)”可知，美国脱口秀节目往往只是一个人在表演。故选D。
29．主旨大意题。根据第二段“It’s believed that cross-talk came into being in the Qing Dynasty as a bit of a by-product of the imitation shows that were a popular form of entertainment in the Song Dynasty. After the PRC was established in 1949, this comedic art became more and more popular. Today, it’s still heavily featured in the CCTV New Year’s Gala programmes in China. The 1990s was the golden age of cross-talk; even foreigners studied the art of cross- talk. Mark Roswell, a Canadian named Da Shan in Chinese was relatively unknown in his native land but was a superstar in China. At the turn of the century, cross-talk began to decline, and many well-known actors left the stage. (人们认为相声是在清朝产生的，是模仿表演的副产品，模仿表演是宋代流行的娱乐形式。1949年中华人民共和国成立后，这种喜剧艺术越来越流行。时至今日，它仍然是中国中央电视台春节联欢晚会的重要节目。20世纪90年代是相声的黄金时代；甚至外国人也学习相声艺术。马克·罗斯威尔是一位加拿大人，中文名字叫大山，在他的祖国
相对默默无闻，但在中国却是一位超级明星。世纪之交，相声开始衰落，许多知名演员离开了舞台。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了中国相声的起源、发展、繁荣和衰退的历史，故history能够概括本段内容。故选A。

31．词句猜测题。根据第三段“In order to criticize something, the humor involved in cross-talk is satirical. (为了批评某些东西，相声中的幽默是satirical的。)”可知，相声为了达到批评的效果，采用的幽默应是讽刺性的语言，所以satirical的意思应该是“讥讽的，刻薄的 ”，和选项A意思一致。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们生活在一个爱妄下评判的世界里，当面对一些人的评头论足时，该怎么回应呢？也许一个简短的“OK”就可以成为一个完美的回答。
32．推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“Some misguided souls believe they have a duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.(一些被误导的灵魂认为他们有责任帮助你成为一个更好的人，首先告诉你你到底是一个多么失败的人，然后提供你如何改进的建议。)”可知，作者称这些人为“被误导的灵魂认为这是自己的责任”，即，自以为是。由此可推知，在作者看来，这样的人以自我为中心。故选B项。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Instead, simply reply with ‘OK’. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.(相反，只需回答“OK”。这个简短的一个词的回应承认了对方的评论，但不同意它，也不觉得有必要就此展开辩论。)”可知，回答“OK”有两层含义，一是承认了对方的评论，二是说话人并不同意这一评论，但没有必要就此展开争论。故选D项。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer.(重要的是，要对对方所说的话保持情感上的依恋，不带感情地倾听，做一个客观的观察者。)”可知，重要的是要
做一个客观的观察者，不带感情地倾听，即，保持理性和冷静。故选C项。
35．推理判断题。通读文章内容可知，文章第二段内容“So what is the possible solution to criticism (那么，应对批评的可能解决方案是什么呢 )”以及文章末尾段内容“In any case, one can learn to be ‘OK’ with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party.(在任何情况下，一个人都可以学会接受批评，不要让它对你的生活或与对方的关系产生负面影响。)”提出了文章的核心主旨，即，文章主要讨论了应对批评的可能性解决方案：用“OK”来应对批评可以避免一些负面影响的产生。因此可推知，文章的目的是给出面对批评时的建议。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。课堂上的多样性教会孩子们欣赏不同的观点，这是他们将终生受用的技能，但是很多老师对此感到束手无策，本文对此提出了几个建议。

39．根据上文“getting to know your students is more than just knowing their name. Know where
your students come from, their socio-economic status, culture, and issues that are important to the students and their families.( 了解你的学生不仅仅是知道他们的名字。了解你的学生来自哪里，他们的社会经济地位、文化以及对学生及其家庭重要的问题。)”可知，了解你的学生不仅仅是要知道他们的名字，还要了解他们来自哪里，他们的社会经济地位、文化以及对学生及其家庭重要的问题，所以真正与学生建立关系需要时间，与G项“Building personal relationships with students takes time(与学生建立个人关系需要时间)”表达的含义一致，故选G项。
40．根据上文“Listening and acting upon parents questions and concerns is the first step(倾听父母的问题和关切并采取行动是第一步)”以及下文“this will enable people from different backgrounds to inspire your students for their future goals(这将使来自不同背景的人能够激励你的学生实现他们未来的目标)”可知，此处上下文说的是要邀请有不同背景的人进入课堂，与D项“Invite community leaders into your classroom(邀请社区领袖进入课堂)”表达的含义一致，故选D项。

56．考查冠词。句意：后者指的是中国人的一种历史服饰，据说是迄今为止追溯到4000多年前。the latter意为“后者”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用定冠词the。句首首字母应大写。故填The。
57．考查动词不定式。句意：后者指的是中国人的一种历史服饰，据说要追溯到4000多年前。be said to do意为“据说做某事”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用to do不定式。date back意为“追溯到”。故填to date。
58．考查名词复数。句意：近年来，当中国人谈论汉服时，他们通常会想象一件长袖束腰的飘逸长袍。in recent years意为“近年来”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用名词复数years。故填years。

67． But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. My heart raced as I scrambled to remember it. Despite my best efforts, the words eluded me, leaving me flustered on stage. However, with the support of my fellow actors, I managed to carry on. As the scene progressed, I
gradually regained my composure, focusing on my lines and movements. When the moment came to take my bow, a wave of relief washed over me. I bowed to the audience excitedly, grateful for their applause.
I bowed to the audience excitedly and went back to my drama teacher. With a mixture of exhilaration and nervous energy, I recounted the experience to her. She offered words of encouragement and praised my resilience under pressure. Reflecting on the night’s events, I realized that even amidst the chaos and uncertainty, I had persevered and delivered a memorable performance. With newfound confidence, I eagerly awaited the next opportunity to step into the spotlight.
