Washington, DC is a theatre town. Here's where you can get the best performances and cultural experiences offered for every taste in the nation's capital.
Kennedy Center
Kennedy Center hosts hundreds of world- class performances each year and is home to the National Symphony Orchestra and the Washington National Opera. The Suzanne Farrell Ballet also counts Kennedy Center as its performance headquarters. The company— under the direction of Farrell— was first invited to perform there in 1993 and has since become one of the venue's most famous attractions.
Woolly Mammoth Company
Woolly Mammoth Company is an experimental theatre that welcomes original plays that push the boundaries of live theatre. The New York Times has called it“ Washington’s most daring theatre company”, and the half dozen plays Woolly produces each year continue to live up to that reputation.
Shakespeare Theatre Company
For more than 25 years, Shakespeare Theatre Company has committed itself to serving as the nation's classical theatre. It operates out of two spaces, including Sidney Harman Hall at the Harman Center, which seats 775, and the Lansburgh Theatre, which seats 451. The shiny, glass- walled Harman Center showcases classic Shakespeare plays, modern updates and Shakespeare- inspired original shows.
Wolf Trap
For locals, summer isn't complete without at least one trip to Wolf Trap, the only national park dedicated to the performing arts. The venue is best- known for performances of touring artists. The open- air theatre offers covered seating, but when the weather warms up, we suggest buying seats on the grassland and packing a picnic.

What is a barrier It usually refers to an obstacle or a difficulty that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you’ re presently facing one, you have to resolve it. While many people avoid barriers, deny their existence or let barriers control themselves, what stand you take on barriers will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about barriers.
First of all, barriers give you motivations. Sometimes barriers can reset your goals. You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’ re forced to re- think, and re- examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn't have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you' ll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions.
Also, barriers prepare you for the unexpected. They serve as guides for where to go next. Even though barriers can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it's important to realize that they don't stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Barriers shift your perspective.
Barriers, more often than not, are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new barriers. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and approach these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self- improvement. The more you' re able to see barriers as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ ll be at managing them.
It will be rewarding to accept barriers, which will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, thus allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.
39. What is the determining factor of the outcome when facing barriers
A. Your specific goals. B. Your own attitude.
C. Your diverse preparations. D. Your strong will power.
40. Which of the following is true about barriers
A. They bring you positive emotions.
B. They prevent you from realizing your goals.
C. They are avoidable if you prepare for them well.
D. They enable you to view things in a different way.
41. What does the underlined word“ approach” in paragraph 4 mean
A. To cope with. B. To go over.
C. To come near to sb. D. To speak to sb. about sth.
42. What's the main idea of the passage
A. Life is always throwing us barriers.
B. Barriers are double- edged swords.
C. Embracing barriers benefits a lot.
D. Meeting barriers is actually avoidable.
C
When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns.
In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O- level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade.I'd been over- confident. Now I'd been declared talentless.
But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still,I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn't let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo(禁忌) high form I wasn't allowed to practice.
One night, in my early 40s,I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colors. Finally, I bought some oil paints.
Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades- long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un- anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going.
Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments.
43. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam
A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged.
44. In her 30s, the author .
A. avoided oil painting practice B. sought for a painting career
C. fancied abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings
45. Which word would best describe the author's dream
A. Confusing. B. Empowering.
C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining.
46. What can we learn from this passage
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Hard work is the mother of success.
C. Dreams are the reflections of realities.
D. Creative activities involve being confident.
D
Orienteering(定向越野) involves running, jogging or walking, and using a map and compass to move between places. It's a great way to have fun outdoors with friends and family. The aim is to move between points, called controls, in a certain order in the quickest time. Events are usually held in parks, fields or forests but they can also happen in towns and cities and even school playgrounds. People can take part either as individuals or as a team.
Beginners' events will have easier controls to find and cover less distance — perhaps a mile or two. For experienced orienteers, the length of the course could be much longer and take in hills and rough ground.
Orienteers are given a“ control description sheet” to help them find each point. This sheet has details of features to look for, like paths and rivers, and a code that must match the code at each control. You will either mark your sheet at each control or check in with an electronic card.
When you start orienteering, you will learn map- reading skills. A helpful tip is to keep your thumb on the spot that shows your location on the map. Keep it the right way round: the features in front of you on the ground should be in front of you on the map.
Orienteering maps can have five or six colors. Black areas show human features, like buildings; brown shows the contour (轮廓) lines ( height of the land); and blue shows water, such as lakes and rivers. White and green together show woodlands; yellow areas represent grass and open areas. On orienteering maps, a course consists of a triangle, circles, a double circle and sometimes connecting lines. The triangle is the start, the double circle is the finish, and all the circles in between are checkpoints.
As you run between points by what you hope is the quickest route, you can take in the scenery around you and have a great time choosing your path and trying to finish in a fast time.
47. What can we learn about orienteering at the beginning of the text
A. Its route is random. B. Its result is distance- based.
C. It groups orienteers by age. D. It integrates various skills.
48. Which aspect of orienteering does paragraph 3 mainly focus on
A. Tricks of saving time. B. The use of control description sheet.
C. Methods of checking in. D. The importance of codes.
49. Why do orienteers keep their thumb on their location on the map
A. To track progress. B. To mark the finish point.
C. To maintain direction. D. To highlight checkpoints.
50. What do the colors on an orienteering map represent
A. Geographical features. B. Difficulty levels.
C. Routes for competition. D. Stages of the orienteering race.

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。
Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has E science revealed about human nature What are the sources of character And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't
To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation (背诵) of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
On the whole, Brooks’ story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’ attempt to translate his tale into science.
51. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2 ( No more than 10 words)
52. Why does Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories ( No more than15 words)
53. according to The Social Animal, how can we learn about the science of child development ( No more than 10 words)
54. Please explain the underlined word“ weighty” in English. ( No more than 1 word)
55. Do you like Brooks' way of dealing with science in The Social Animal Why ( No more than 20 words)
