Ⅴ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
Theatre audiences usually rise to their feet only during breaks or when the curtain comes down. For a special production of Shakespeare's Hamlet, however, getting up and moving around is required if you want to catch all of the action.
The production is staged in the James J. Hill House in St. Paul, Minnesota. The action takes place in several rooms on several levels of the 36，000 square foot building.
This is not the first time that the Wayward Theatre Company has chosen a special place to stage a theatrical production. Co founder and director Sarah Nargang said that the group prefers to perform (表演) in untraditional spaces. She noted, “It allows people to communicate with these spaces, as well as the text, in new and interesting ways.”
Besides the James J. Hill House, the group has performed at the Minnesota Transportation Museum, in hotel rooms, and in the back of a brewery (酒厂).
“We usually choose a play and then find a place for it，” Nargang said. “But we try to choose historic places as much as we can.”
The James J. Hill House was built for a railroad businessman of the same name. The five story mansion (豪宅) sits on a large area of land overlooking the city of St. Paul and the Mississippi pleted in 1891, in what was known as the Gilded Age, it is now owned by the Minnesota Historical Society.
“The James J. Hill House allowed us to stage Hamlet during the Gilded Age and show much of rich people's lives of that time，” Nargang said.
Performing Hamlet in a mansion affected the way the production was choreographed (为……编舞). “Entering and exiting are more difficult because you don't have many choices of where you can go，” said Tim McVean, who plays the role of Hamlet.
“There's a lot more running around，” added actor Tim Perfect, who plays Claudius, the ruler who marries Hamlet's mother. “But there's no way any stage could compete with this place for beauty.”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。《哈姆雷特》走出传统剧院，在一个特殊的地方上演。在这里，观众们需要不时移步，到不同的房间和楼层观看演出。
1．What is special about the production of Hamlet in the James J. Hill House？(　　)
A．It is performed by very famous actors.
B．It has attracted the largest audience ever.
C．It is produced in a new and humorous way.
D.The audience must move around to watch it.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。由第一和第二段可知，剧院观众通常只在中场休息或演出结束时才起身走动，但在詹姆斯·希尔故居中上演的《哈姆雷特》的场景设置在不同的房间，甚至不同的楼层，这就要求观众随着剧情发展移动到不同的地方观看演出。
　
2．The Wayward Theatre Company prefers to perform in ________．(　　)
A．open areas B．traditional spaces
C．historic places D．high rise buildings
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的“the group prefers to perform in untraditional spaces”和第五段中的“But we try to choose historic places as much as we can.”可知，该公司喜欢在非传统的地方演出，尤其是有历史意义的场所。
3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to？(　　)
A．The Gilded Age.
B．The city of St. Paul.
C．The Mississippi River.
D．The James J. Hill House.
答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。倒数第四段介绍该故居的基本情况，原本是为一位名叫詹姆斯·希尔的铁路商人而建，于1891年建成，现在属于明尼苏达州历史学会。因此，it指代詹姆斯·希尔故居。
4．What does Tim Perfect think of performing in a mansion？(　　)
A．Difficult but enjoyable.
B．Traditional but interesting.
C．Comfortable and exciting.
D．Relaxing and helpful.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。由最后一段中的“There's a lot more running around”和“there's no way any stage could compete with this place for beauty”可知，他认为在这里演出较以往相比活动量更大，但这个地方的美是其他的舞台不能与之媲美的。
B
The US government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belts. The government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help to discover the answers to these two questions：
Can we predict earthquakes
Can we control earthquakes
To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault (断层) systems in the country, such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth's surface. These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur. Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes correctly. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.
However, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4，000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection (注射) of water, there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks worked like oil on each other.
When the water “oiled” the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was given out. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big, dangerous earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了为了提高人们对地震的防范意识，美国政府加大了在防震、预测方面的投入，他们甚至在努力采取措施控制地震的发生。
5．Earthquakes belts are ________．(　　)
A.maps that show where earthquakes are likely tooccur
B.zones with a high probability of earthquakes
C.breaks between two sections of the earth'ssurface
D.the two layers of earth along a fault
答案：B

6．The San Andreas fault is ________．(　　)
A．an active fault system
B.a place where earthquakes have been predictedcorrectly
C．a place where earthquakes have been controlled
D．at the foot of the Rocky Mountain
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段可知，该地区为地震比较活跃的地区。
7．What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal？(　　)
A.They occur at about 4，000 metres below ground level.
B．The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.
C．They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.
D．Harmful earthquakes could be prevented by causing harmless earthquakes.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段尾句可知。
8．What can be said about the experiments at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal？(　　)
A.They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.
B.They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.
C.They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.
D.Nothing is told about their practical value in earthquake prevention.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据科学家的试验，通过向断裂带注水可以引发小地震，从而使地震的能量得到释放，因此也就降低了大地震爆发的可能。
