A
Skip the West End and discover some exciting， theatrical treasures — maybe in a pub or under a railway station — in one of London’s many alternative theatres. If you want to experience the glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium， for a ￡10 ticket， off-West End is the way to go.
Theatre 503
Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub， up a very narrow staircase， and beyond a dinky foyer （门厅）， you will find yourself at Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time， which is a tight squeeze even then. But it’s well worth the intimacy （亲密感） that you’ll necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions.
King’s Head Theatre
Perhaps the perfect example of London pub theatre， the King’s Head has been in business since the early 1970s. The King’s Head is consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed （归类） or， indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music， refusing to give up its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun.
Soho Theatre
An institution that hardly needs introducing， Soho Theatre has been at the forefront for new writing and comedy for decades， producing some of the most exciting new talent on the scene today. As the name suggests， the theatre sits in the centre of Soho， and its bar has become a hub for artists and audiences alike.
Vaults Theatre
A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below Waterloo station， with an atmosphere all of its own. Not only is Vaults Theatre home to some of the most thrilling immersive and alternative theatre， it’s also leading the way in accessibility， offering a pay-what-you-can ticket price on Wednesdays and Sundays as of Autumn 2024.
21.How long has been King’s Head Theatre in business？（ ）
A.About 50 years. B.Less than 40 years.
C.More than 60 years. D.More than 70 years.
22.Which is named after its location？（ ）
A.Vaults Theatre. B.King’s Head Theatre.
C.Soho Theatre. D.Theatre 503.
23.Which of the following made use of old railways？（ ）
A.Theatre 503. B.King’s Head Theatre.
C.Soho Theatre. D.Vaults Theatre.

A group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team to perform at their kids’ school but unexpectedly gained popularity on social media， having over 300，000 followers — one of them is famous actor Hugh Jackman. The “Outta” Puff Daddys first came together in 2012 in Brighton for a surprise performance at their children’s annual dance show.
Having never danced as a job before and ranging in age from 42 to 60， the dads were taught by their kids’ street dance teacher for the surprise performance. They received a good reception， so they decided to carry on permanently.
Paul Jukes， 48， said dancing together has enabled the members to get through unemployment and anxiety. “Even though I’m the leader and artistic director of the team， I’m not normally the most confident guy，” said Jukes， whose team name is Jukebox. “If we’re in a party situation， we’re off at the side， but when we’re together those inhibitions （拘束感） are lost， and we just accept life to the fullest.”
The dance team members remember the moment when they surprised their kids at the dance show. “We performed at the Brighton Dome which seats 2，000 people， so for our first live dance performance， it was quite something. We took the roof off，” Jukes said. “The noise was crazy and of course， the kids in the audience were blown away. They were shouting， ‘Hang on a second； that’s your dad.’ Most people might think our kids would be embarrassed by us but none of them had that feeling. All our families and kids were really supportive and really loved it. And it has been considered cool by them to have such a large following on Instagram.” The team has to adapt to its members’ changing bodies as they get older， but that has not stopped them from continuing to dream big， which sets a good example to their kids.
24.What’s special about the dance team？（ ）
A.It helps with school dance instructions. B.Its members are all inexperienced.
C.It regularly posts videos on social media. D.Its members are guided by famous dancers.
25.How has the dance team influenced Paul Jukes？（ ）
A.It has inspired him to take up new hobbies.
B.It has improved his health and leadership skills.
C.It has strengthened his relationship with his family.
D.It has helped him build confidence in a tough time.
26.How did the kids react to their dads’ dance performance？（ ）
A.They were amazed and proud of their dads.
B.They were embarrassed but showed understanding.
C.They considered following Jukebox on social media.
D.They joined their dads to complete the performance together.
27.What is the best title for the text？（ ）
A.Dancing Is Beneficial to People of All Ages
B.Talented Dads Celebrate Their Kids’ Interest
C.A Dance Team Consisting of Middle-Aged Dads Goes Viral
D.A Dance Team Is Winning Popularity Among Adults
C
The Garden， written by Charlayne Woodard （who also stars alongside Caroline Stefanie Clay） and directed by Patricia McGregor， now available to stream from Baltimore Center Stage， is a powerfully moving portrait of a mother and daughter wrestling with each other， the past， and their differing journeys as black women in America.
The play is set in present-day New York in the backyard garden of Claire Rose.While she’s tending tomatoes and cucumbers， her daughter Cassandra shows up unannounced from Seattle after a three-year absence.Claire Rose is surprised.Cassandra obviously came for a reason， but keeps getting sidetracked from providing an explanation by ongoing quarreling （争吵） and reminiscing （回忆） with Claire Rose.This quarreling ends up unearthing far more truth than either woman was expecting to dig up in the garden that day.
Charlayne Woodard and Caroline Stefanie Clay both excel in their roles in this two-person cast.Whether she is lecturing or scolding （责骂） or overwhelmed with loving concern， Clay uses both her speech patterns and gestures to add the right emphasis and intention to every moment.Woodard is equally able， finding the right balance between portraying her numerous frustrations and disappointments with her mother while still showing us her love and longing for the woman who she struggles to understand.
The set， designed by Rachel Hauck， drew me in right away.Raised garden beds， full of ready-to-harvest autumn crops， a greenhouse， and an abundance of pots and garden tools made me want to settle in and get my hands dirty！
By the conclusion of the play， the ladies have performed a thorough weeding of their relationship.This play left me with a deep sense of discovery and a longing to engage in further thoughtful reflection on the path I’d traveled.I highly recommend The Garden as a thoughtfully crafted （构思的） masterpiece exploring the ways that a family can grow apart but， with a little tending， find themselves replanted in each other’s hearts.
28.What can we learn about The Garden？（ ）
A.It is performed by the writer and her real-life mother.
B.It explores the complex mother-daughter relationship.
C.It is adapted from a novel of the same name.
D.It appeals to black Americans.
29.What makes Claire Rose surprised？（ ）
A.Cassandra’s gardening skills. B.Cassandra’s unexpected visit.
C.Cassandra’s three-year absence. D.Cassandra’s eagerness to make up.
30.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “excel” in Paragraph 3？（ ）
A.Get deeply lost. B.Become popular.
C.Show great creativity. D.Perform wonderfully.
31.What can we infer about the author？（ ）
A.She has traveled a lot. B.She is interested in gardening.
C.She is a professional stage actor. D.She has a deep love for the play.
D
People who write dramas， also called plays， are known as playwrights or dramatists.Some popular types of dramas include comedy， tragedy， farce （滑稽戏），opera and docudramas.Now， I’d like to tell you something about them.
Lighter in tone， comedies try to make the audience laugh and usually come to a happy edies put unusual characters in special situations， causing them to do and say funny edies can also be sarcastic （讽刺的） in nature， creating fun at serious topics.There are also several different types of comedies， including the romantic comedy， the comedy of manners and so on.
Tragedy is based on darker themes.Generally， tragedies show serious subjects like death， disaster， and human suffering in a way that makes the audience think.Hardly enjoying happy endings， characters in tragedies， like Shakespeare’s Hamlet， are often troubled by their character flaws （缺点） that finally lead to their death.
A farce is a type of drama in which characters overact and present physical humor.Examples of farce include the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and the hit Airplane！in 1980.
Opera is a type of drama which combines theater， literature， music， and dance to tell stories of tragedy or comedy.Since characters express their feelings through singing rather than dialogue， performers must be both skilled actors and singers.La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini and Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi are classic examples of opera.
A docudrama is another kind of drama.Docudramas talk about historic events or non-fictional situations， which are more often presented on television than in movie theaters.Popular examples of docudramas include the movies Apollo 13 and 12 Years a Slave.
32.What do we know about comedies？（ ）

Villains （反派角色） are some of the most memorable characters in films， but when we think of successful villains， they might show different features. In Star Wars， Emperor Palpatine is unable to understand others. It is not the same with Darth Vader， another bad guy in the movie — yet they are both clearly successful villains. The difference raises one question.36.（ ）
Firstly， a horrible personal look can help to create frightening villains.37.（ ） For example， in Martin Scorsese’s films， villains with scars （疤痕） on their faces usually wear expensive suits while attacking people， which encourages audience to be afraid of their power.
Secondly， effective villains also have to test heroes in the story.38.（ ） In Whiplash， the extremely strict jazz teacher never accepted any mistakes， and he often punished his students heavily. The hero， Andrew， one of his students with a strong will， was tested by having to face such a frightening villain again and again.
Here comes the last trick.39.（ ） To become memorable and achieve a lasting place in filming history， a villain needs to have a purpose or motivation （动机）. In Misery， the nurse Annie keeps her favourite writer， Paul， a prisoner. What’s her motivation？She wants him to rewrite his next chapter as she is unhappy with the ending of his latest work.40.（ ）
Next time you find yourself watching a villain on-screen， see which of these tricks have been used to make them particularly memorable！
A.They can’t just be beaten easily.
B.What makes a successful villain？
C.Are villains really necessary in all films？
D.The film is well organized in terms of the storyline.
E.It’s necessary for a villain to be bad with a purpose.
F.This sense of fear can be achieved in different ways.
G.The screenwriter gave her a reason to move the story forward.

Once there lived a girl named Melanie. The little girl was living with a dream. She wanted to be a ballet dancer. Her body was very flexible and she had strong willpower. Melanie’s parents never knew of the great dancing skills their daughter had until one day， they saw the little girl dancing with the beautiful steps of a ballerina.
“Isn’t it strange？ Melanie is dancing so well without any formal training！” the mother said.
“We must give her ballet lessons to help her improve her skills，” her father said.
The following day， Melanie’s parents took her to a local dance training school. The teacher asked Melanie to dance. The little girl was happy and showed some of her favourite dance steps. However， the teacher didn’t seem interested in her performance.
“That’s OK. You can leave now！” the teacher said.
Melanie was shocked to hear this. So were her parents. They couldn’t believe their ears.
“The girl is common. She does not have the possibility to become a ballerina，” the dance teacher said. “Don’t let her waste her time dreaming of becoming a dancer.”
Disappointed， Melanie and her parents returned home. Tears rolled down Melanie’s face. Her dreams were broken within a matter of minutes. Without confidence， Melanie never attempted to dance again. She completed her studies and went on to become a teacher in school. Life was good and she kept herself busy with family and work. However， whenever she happened to pass the school’s ballet room， memories of childhood dreams danced before her eyes.

（Text 5）

（Text 6）
M：Can you tell me how to get to the TV station by bus？
W：Take bus No. 22. Don’t get off until the fifth stop， which is Silver Road.
M：Silver Road？ Aren’t there many bars？
W：Yes. Many foreigners like to go there. It will take you an hour to get there if the traffic lights are working properly.
M：I have an interview at 2：30 pm. I don’t think I should go there by bus.

W：Good morning， Mr Black. You said you would give us an introduction to Chinese dragons this time. Shall we begin now？
M：OK. We are not quite certain how Chinese dragons first came about. Some people believed that they ruled over water， such as waterfalls， rivers and the ocean. In the eyes of Europeans， dragons are considered to be evil creatures， but in China， Chinese dragons mean power， strength and good luck. The Chinese dragon is present in many aspects of Chinese life. In the Chinese language， people that are considered to be excellent are compared to dragons， while people associated with failure are compared to other living things， such as insects.Only emperors were able to use dragons， and both emperors and dragons are related to the lucky number nine. The number nine is also linked with dragons in the way that people describe them as being made up of nine different animals.
The dragon is sometimes used in the West to stand for China. Instead， it is seen as an example of culture in China. In Hong Kong， the dragon is used in the design of “Brand Hong Kong”， an image used to promote Hong Kong as an international brand name.

36.B 根据上文的The difference raises one question.可知，设空处应是一个问句，答案应该选自B项或C项；根据第二、三、四段内容可知，这三段主要介绍了如何才能塑造一个成功的反派角色，是对B项（是什么塑造了成功的反派角色？）的具体回答。故选B项。
37.F 根据第二段第一句可知，看起来非常可怕的外表可以帮助塑造令人恐惧的反派角色，F项（这种恐惧感可以通过不同的方式实现）承接上文内容，且下一句说明了可以用什么方式来营造恐惧感，是对F项的举例说明。
38.A 第三段第一句指出“有效的反派角色也要考验故事中的英雄”，A项中的They指的是effective villains，是对上一句的引申说明，且下文中的实例阐述反派角色会不断为主人公带来阻碍和考验，解释了反派角色通常不会轻易被打败。故A项（他们不可能被轻易打败）符合语境。
39.E 根据下一句可知，此处介绍要想让人印象深刻并在电影史上占据一席之地，反派角色需要有目的或动机，E项（反派必须是有目的的坏人）与其照应，下一句是对E项的进一步解释说明。
40.G 根据上一句可知，此处介绍她的目的，G项（编剧给了她一个把故事向前推进的理由）符合语境。G项中的her与上一句的she相呼应。
第三部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了英国电视喜剧《憨豆先生》当中的一幕：憨豆先生狼狈地把生汉堡肉东藏西藏，甚至藏到一位女士的钱包里。作者喜欢在电视上看憨豆先生的表演，但并不想在现实生活中遇到像憨豆先生这样的人。
41.C 根据设空后的puts it into an envelope并结合选项可知应选card， 下文中的birthday card为原词复现。
42.B 根据上下文可知，憨豆先生把卡片塞进信封，然后放在了桌子上。
43.C 根据空后的but可知，此处表示转折，指憨豆先生假装不知道信封在桌子上。
44.D 根据下文憨豆先生点餐可知，此时他正在看菜单。
45.A 根据设空后的on his face可知，他的脸上很快露出了惊讶的表情。
46.B 根据下文中的He then looks from the menu to the money可知，这里是说他把所有的钱都从口袋里拿了出来。
47.D 前面提到憨豆先生看到菜单时，脸上很快露出了惊讶的表情，然后他把自己的钱拿出来，数好后放在茶托上。由此可以推知，憨豆先生的钱应该是不够，所以此处应该是“担忧地”。
48.B 根据上下文可知，此处指憨豆先生点了一道名为“鞑靼牛排”的菜。
49.A 根据下文的raw （生的） hamburger meat可知，“鞑靼牛排”实际上是生汉堡肉，这让他感到很震惊。
50.C 参见上题解析。
51.C clear意为“清楚的，明显的”。
52.A 根据设空后的except when the waiter asks whether everything is OK.He smiles and nods可知，憨豆先生没能隐藏住自己的感受，除了当服务员问他是否一切都好的时候。
53.C 根据设空前的He smiles and nods可知，憨豆先生用微笑和点头表示一切都很好。indicate意为“表明”。
54.D busy oneself doing sth意为“使自己忙于做某事”。
55.D 根据下文可知，最后，憨豆先生太失望了，以至于他甚至把肉藏到了旁边一位女士的钱包里。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了刘如英从小受到爷爷的影响对京剧产生了极大的热爱，在一次活动中用英语向世界介绍京剧的故事。
56.whose 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Liu Ruying，定语从句中缺少定语，故填whose。
57.on/upon 考查介词。a great influence on/upon sb意为“对某人的巨大影响”。故填on。
58.began 考查动词的时态。根据At the age of 8可知，空处应用一般过去时。故填began。
59.to experience 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，It为形式主语，空处为动词不定式作真正的主语。故填to experience。
60.courses 考查名词的单复数。course是可数名词，前面有other限定，应用复数形式。故填courses。
61.introducing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处为介词of的宾语，应用动词-ing形式。故填introducing。
62.the 考查冠词。with the help of意为“在……的帮助下”，故填the。
63.extremely 考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子状语部分，修饰动词love， 应用副词，故填extremely。
64.is considered 考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子并列谓语，表示“被认为是”，应用被动语态，根据Peking Opera has可知，应用一般现在时的被动语态形式。故填is considered。
65.ourselves 考查代词。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子宾语，所给代词we和主语一致，应使用反身代词。故填ourselves。

第二节
One day， the ballet teacher in her school was late.Melanie was asked to keep an eye on the girls so that they would behave themselves. Once inside the ballet room， all her old memories flooded back. She couldn’t control herself anymore. She started by teaching some steps to the girls and then carried on dancing herself for some time. Unaware of the time and the people around her， Melanie was lost in her own little dancing world.
“What a perfect dance， Melanie！ You are a true ballerina！”said the ballet teacher entering the classroom.Hearing her voice， Melanie stopped dancing. She was embarrassed to see the teacher in front of her and was at a loss for words. This was the first time that someone had said she was a wonderful dancer. Then the teacher， who was shocked to see Melanie’s amazing skills， asked Melanie to visit a dance trainer with her. There has been no looking back for Melanie since then. Today， Melanie is a world-famous ballet dancer.

M：It’s five fifty. Let’s hurry. There’s ten minutes left.
（Text 2）
M：Excuse me， Madam. I’d like to choose some flowers for my
mother’s birthday.
W：Let me see. These fresh roses are very nice.
（Text 3）
M：What is Bill’s new house like？
W：It’s really nice， and not very far from his workplace， but he is
tired of hearing the planes flying overhead all day long.
（Text 4）
W：Say， what’s your favourite sport？
M：Hmm ... It’s hard to say. I like golf and basketball a lot， and
tennis better， but I guess swimming is my favorite.
（Text 5）
M：What do you think of my paper？
W：The ideas are good. If I were you， though， I’d write the last two
paragraphs again to make it a little clearer.
（Text 6）
M：Can you tell me how to get to the TV station by bus？
W：Take bus No. 22. Don’t get off until the fifth stop， which is Silver
Road.
M：Silver Road？ Aren’t there many bars？
W：Yes. Many foreigners like to go there. It will take you an hour to get
there if the traffic lights are working properly.
M：I have an interview at 2：30 pm. I don’t think I should go there by
bus.
W：Why not take the subway？ Go down this road until you reach the
first set of traffic lights. Turn right and you’ll see the station.
M：You are right. Thank you very much.
W：My pleasure.
（Text 7）
W：Good morning， Mr Smith. I must apologise to you for making so

between China and Japan on TV.
M：Really？ I thought you were having a party.
W：And Anna Wilkinson who lives upstairs thought I was quarreling with
my father again.
M：Anyway， it’s a pity that I missed the game. What was the result？
W：The Chinese football team won in the end. I was so excited that I
forgot the time.

together next time.

rooms available in June.
M：Hmm ... Until May 31st would be OK.
W：Alright. Mr John Smith， a single room with a shower from May
20th to May 31st.
M：That’s right. By the way， I only have US dollars on me. Shall I
change them into renminbi to pay？
W：No， that’s not necessary. We can accept US dollars.
M：Can I use a credit card to pay？ It won’t be very convenient for me

（Text 9）
W：Before beginning our sightseeing tour in China， I’d be glad to

scenic spots that you like， honey. I’d like to read the newspaper now.
W：You can make some suggestions， too. I don’t have anything in
mind at present.
M：OK， then. What about the Great Wall — one of the seven wonders
of the world？ We wouldn’t want to leave China without seeing it.
W：Is it far from here？
M：No， I’ve checked that on the Internet. It’s only about 50
kilometers. Just an hour and a half’s trip by car.
W：Good！ And we’ve heard quite a lot about the Summer Palace. I’d
like to see that， too.
M：All right. The Summer Palace. And there are a number of other
interesting places， such as the Temple of Heaven， the Ming Tombs and
so on. Let’s watch some TV now.
W：No， you should start to prepare some food now.
（Text 10）
W：Good morning， Mr Black. You said you would give us an
introduction to Chinese dragons this time. Shall we begin now？
M：OK. We are not quite certain how Chinese dragons first came about.
Some people believed that they ruled over water， such as waterfalls，
rivers and the ocean. In the eyes of Europeans， dragons are considered to
be evil creatures， but in China， Chinese dragons mean power， strength
and good luck. The Chinese dragon is present in many aspects of Chinese
life.
In the Chinese language， people that are considered to be excellent are
compared to dragons， while people associated with failure are compared
to other living things， such as insects.Only emperors were able to use
dragons， and both emperors and dragons are related to the lucky number
nine. The number nine is also linked with dragons in the way that people
describe them as being made up of nine different animals.
The dragon is sometimes used in the West to stand for China. Instead， it
is seen as an example of culture in China. In Hong Kong， the dragon is
used in the design of “Brand Hong Kong”， an image used to promote
Hong Kong as an international brand name.

第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳
选项。
A
Skip the West End and discover some exciting， theatrical
treasures — maybe in a pub or under a railway station — in one of
London’s many alternative theatres. If you want to experience the
glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium，
for a ￡10 ticket， off-West End is the way to go.
Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub， up a very narrow
staircase， and beyond a dinky foyer （门厅）， you will find yourself at
Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time， which is a tight squeeze
even then. But it’s well worth the intimacy （亲密感） that you’ll
necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions.
Theatre 503
King’s Head Theatre
Perhaps the perfect example of London pub theatre， the King’s
Head has been in business since the early 1970s. The King’s Head is
consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed （归类） or，
indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle
who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music， refusing to give up
its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun.
Soho Theatre
An institution that hardly needs introducing， Soho Theatre has been
at the forefront for new writing and comedy for decades， producing some
of the most exciting new talent on the scene today. As the name
suggests， the theatre sits in the centre of Soho， and its bar has become a
hub for artists and audiences alike.
Vaults Theatre
A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below
Waterloo station， with an atmosphere all of its own. Not only is Vaults
Theatre home to some of the most thrilling immersive and alternative
theatre， it’s also leading the way in accessibility， offering a pay-what-
you-can ticket price on Wednesdays and Sundays as of Autumn 2024.

A group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team to perform at their
kids’ school but unexpectedly gained popularity on social media，
having over 300，000 followers — one of them is famous actor Hugh
Jackman. The “Outta” Puff Daddys first came together in 2012 in
Brighton for a surprise performance at their children’s annual dance
show.
Having never danced as a job before and ranging in age from 42 to
60， the dads were taught by their kids’ street dance teacher for the
surprise performance. They received a good reception， so they decided
to carry on permanently.
Paul Jukes， 48， said dancing together has enabled the members to
get through unemployment and anxiety. “Even though I’m the leader
and artistic director of the team， I’m not normally the most confident
guy，” said Jukes， whose team name is Jukebox. “If we’re in a
party situation， we’re off at the side， but when we’re together those
inhibitions （拘束感） are lost， and we just accept life to the fullest.”
The dance team members remember the moment when they surprised
their kids at the dance show. “We performed at the Brighton Dome which
seats 2，000 people， so for our first live dance performance， it was
quite something. We took the roof off，” Jukes said. “The noise was
crazy and of course， the kids in the audience were blown away. They
were shouting， ‘Hang on a second； that’s your dad.’ Most people
might think our kids would be embarrassed by us but none of them had that
feeling. All our families and kids were really supportive and really loved
it.
And it has been considered cool by them to have such a large following on
Instagram.” The team has to adapt to its members’ changing bodies as
they get older， but that has not stopped them from continuing to dream
big， which sets a good example to their kids.

The Garden， written by Charlayne Woodard （who also stars
alongside Caroline Stefanie Clay） and directed by Patricia McGregor，
now available to stream from Baltimore Center Stage， is a powerfully
moving portrait of a mother and daughter wrestling with each other， the
past， and their differing journeys as black women in America.
The play is set in present-day New York in the backyard garden of
Claire Rose.While she’s tending tomatoes and cucumbers， her
daughter Cassandra shows up unannounced from Seattle after a three-year
absence.Claire Rose is surprised.Cassandra obviously came for a
reason， but keeps getting sidetracked from providing an explanation by
ongoing quarreling （争吵） and reminiscing （回忆） with Claire
Rose.This quarreling ends up unearthing far more truth than either woman
was expecting to dig up in the garden that day.
Charlayne Woodard and Caroline Stefanie Clay both excel in their
roles in this two-person cast.Whether she is lecturing or scolding （责
骂） or overwhelmed with loving concern， Clay uses both her speech
patterns and gestures to add the right emphasis and intention to every
moment.Woodard is equally able， finding the right balance between
portraying her numerous frustrations and disappointments with her mother
while still showing us her love and longing for the woman who she
struggles to understand.
The set， designed by Rachel Hauck， drew me in right
away.Raised garden beds， full of ready-to-harvest autumn crops， a
greenhouse， and an abundance of pots and garden tools made me want to
settle in and get my hands dirty！
By the conclusion of the play， the ladies have performed a thorough
weeding of their relationship.This play left me with a deep sense of
discovery and a longing to engage in further thoughtful reflection on the
path I’d traveled.I highly recommend The Garden as a thoughtfully
crafted （构思的） masterpiece exploring the ways that a family can grow
apart but， with a little tending， find themselves replanted in each
other’s hearts.

People who write dramas， also called plays， are known as
playwrights or dramatists.Some popular types of dramas include
comedy， tragedy， farce （滑稽戏），opera and docudramas.Now，
I’d like to tell you something about them.
Lighter in tone， comedies try to make the audience laugh and
usually come to a happy edies put unusual characters in
special situations， causing them to do and say funny edies
can also be sarcastic （讽刺的） in nature， creating fun at serious
topics.There are also several different types of comedies， including the
romantic comedy， the comedy of manners and so on.
Tragedy is based on darker themes.Generally， tragedies show
serious subjects like death， disaster， and human suffering in a way that
makes the audience think.Hardly enjoying happy endings， characters in
tragedies， like Shakespeare’s Hamlet， are often troubled by their
character flaws （缺点） that finally lead to their death.
A farce is a type of drama in which characters overact and present
physical humor.Examples of farce include the play Waiting for Godot by
Samuel Beckett and the hit Airplane！in 1980.
Opera is a type of drama which combines theater， literature，
music， and dance to tell stories of tragedy or comedy.Since characters
express their feelings through singing rather than dialogue， performers
must be both skilled actors and singers.La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini
and Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi are classic examples of opera.
A docudrama is another kind of drama.Docudramas talk about
historic events or non-fictional situations， which are more often presented
on television than in movie theaters.Popular examples of docudramas
include the movies Apollo 13 and 12 Years a Slave.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选
项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Villains （反派角色） are some of the most memorable characters in
films， but when we think of successful villains， they might show
different features. In Star Wars， Emperor Palpatine is unable to
understand others. It is not the same with Darth Vader， another bad guy
in the movie — yet they are both clearly successful villains. The
difference raises one question.36.（ ）
Firstly， a horrible personal look can help to create frightening
villains.37.（ ） For example， in Martin Scorsese’s films，
villains with scars （疤痕） on their faces usually wear expensive suits
while attacking people， which encourages audience to be afraid of their
power.
Secondly， effective villains also have to test heroes in the story.38.
（ ） In Whiplash， the extremely strict jazz teacher never accepted
any mistakes， and he often punished his students heavily. The hero，
Andrew， one of his students with a strong will， was tested by having to
face such a frightening villain again and again.
Here comes the last trick.39.（ ） To become memorable and
achieve a lasting place in filming history， a villain needs to have a
purpose or motivation （动机）. In Misery， the nurse Annie keeps her
favourite writer， Paul， a prisoner. What’s her motivation？She wants
him to rewrite his next chapter as she is unhappy with the ending of his
latest work.40.（ ）
Next time you find yourself watching a villain on-screen， see which
of these tricks have been used to make them particularly memorable！
A. They can’t just be beaten easily.
B. What makes a successful villain？
C. Are villains really necessary in all films？
D. The film is well organized in terms of the storyline.
E. It’s necessary for a villain to be bad with a purpose.
F. This sense of fear can be achieved in different ways.
G. The screenwriter gave her a reason to move the story forward.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。电影中的反派角色经常令人记忆深
刻，文章介绍了如何成功地塑造一个反派角色。
36. B 根据上文的The difference raises one question.可知，设空处应
是一个问句，答案应该选自B项或C项；根据第二、三、四段内容可
知，这三段主要介绍了如何才能塑造一个成功的反派角色，是对B项
（是什么塑造了成功的反派角色？）的具体回答。故选B项。
37. F 根据第二段第一句可知，看起来非常可怕的外表可以帮助塑造
令人恐惧的反派角色，F项（这种恐惧感可以通过不同的方式实现）
承接上文内容，且下一句说明了可以用什么方式来营造恐惧感，是对
F项的举例说明。
38. A 第三段第一句指出“有效的反派角色也要考验故事中的英
雄”，A项中的They指的是effective villains，是对上一句的引申说
明，且下文中的实例阐述反派角色会不断为主人公带来阻碍和考验，
解释了反派角色通常不会轻易被打败。故A项（他们不可能被轻易打
败）符合语境。
39. E 根据下一句可知，此处介绍要想让人印象深刻并在电影史上
占据一席之地，反派角色需要有目的或动机，E项（反派必须是有目
的的坏人）与其照应，下一句是对E项的进一步解释说明。
40. G 根据上一句可知，此处介绍她的目的，G项（编剧给了她
一个把故事向前推进的理由）符合语境。G项中的her与上一句的
she相呼应。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
Once there lived a girl named Melanie. The little girl was living with
a dream. She wanted to be a ballet dancer. Her body was very flexible and
she had strong willpower. Melanie’s parents never knew of the great
dancing skills their daughter had until one day， they saw the little girl
dancing with the beautiful steps of a ballerina.
“Isn’t it strange？ Melanie is dancing so well without any formal
training！” the mother said.
“We must give her ballet lessons to help her improve her skills，”
her father said.
The following day， Melanie’s parents took her to a local dance
training school. The teacher asked Melanie to dance. The little girl was
happy and showed some of her favourite dance steps. However， the
teacher didn’t seem interested in her performance.
“That’s OK. You can leave now！” the teacher said.
Melanie was shocked to hear this. So were her parents. They
couldn’t believe their ears.
“The girl is common. She does not have the possibility to become a
ballerina，” the dance teacher said. “Don’t let her waste her time
dreaming of becoming a dancer.”
Disappointed， Melanie and her parents returned home. Tears rolled
down Melanie’s face. Her dreams were broken within a matter of
minutes. Without confidence， Melanie never attempted to dance again.
She completed her studies and went on to become a teacher in school. Life
was good and she kept herself busy with family and work. However，
whenever she happened to pass the school’s ballet room， memories of
childhood dreams danced before her eyes.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
One day， the ballet teacher in her school was late.
“What a perfect dance， Melanie！ You are a true ballerina！”
said the ballet teacher entering the
classroom.
参考范文：
One day， the ballet teacher in her school was late.Melanie was
asked to keep an eye on the girls so that they would behave themselves.
Once inside the ballet room， all her old memories flooded back. She
couldn’t control herself anymore. She started by teaching some steps to
the girls and then carried on dancing herself for some time. Unaware of
the time and the people around her， Melanie was lost in her own little
dancing world.
“What a perfect dance， Melanie！ You are a true ballerina！”said
the ballet teacher entering the classroom.Hearing her voice， Melanie
stopped dancing. She was embarrassed to see the teacher in front of her
and was at a loss for words. This was the first time that someone had said
she was a wonderful dancer. Then the teacher， who was shocked to see
Melanie’s amazing skills， asked Melanie to visit a dance trainer with
her. There has been no looking back for Melanie since then. Today，
Melanie is a world-famous ballet dancer.
谢谢观看！
