七、阅读理解
A
French
novelist
Jules
Verne(1828 1905)is
often
called
the
father
of
science
fiction.Although
he
was
not
a
great
traveller
himself，his
characters
journeyed
to
the
moon(in
From
Earth
to
Moon)，under
the
sea(in
Twenty
Thousand
Leagues
Under
the
Sea)，into
a
volcano(in
A
Journey
to
the
Centre
of
the
Earth)，around
the
world(in
Around
the
World
in
Eighty
Days)and
to
many
other
places.
Jules
Verne
was
born
in
the
French
city
of
Nantes
in
1828.When
he
was
a
boy
he
ran
away
from
home
to
work
on
a
ship.However，his
father
soon
found
him
and
brought
him
home.After
that
he
decided
that
any
future
travel
he
did
would
be
in
books.In
1847，his
father
sent
Jules
to
Paris
to
study
to
be
a
lawyer.Even
though
he
was
busy
writing，Verne
passed
his
exams
in
1849
with
high
marks.
When
Jules
told
his
father
he
did
not
want
to
be
a
lawyer，his
father
was
very
angry.He
stopped
sending
his
son
any
money，so
Jules
had
to
earn
a
living
by
his
writing.Over
the
next
few
years
he
wrote
many
stories
and
plays
which
brought
him
only
a
little
money.Then，in
1856，he
met
Honorine
de
Viane，a
rich，young
widow
with
two
children.The
couple
married
the
next
year
and
their
only
child
Michel
was
born
in
1862.After
his
marriage，Verne
worked
as
a
businessman
in
Paris.However，he
was
not
very
successful
at
his
job
and
spent
most
of
his
time
writing
books
and
doing
research
for
the
next
one.In
1863，he
published
his
novel
Five
Weeks
in
a
Balloon
and
in
the
following
year
he
published
A
Journey
to
the
Centre
of
the
Earth
which
brought
him
fame.His
books
became
so
popular
and
earned
him
so
much
money
that
he
was
able
to
leave
his
job
and
work
full
time
on
his
writing.
In
his
lifetime，Jules
Verne
wrote
more
than
50
books
and
he
became
a
rich
man.Many
of
this
imaginative
novels
have
been
turned
into
films.

not

to
learn
law.

1850s.
D．Jules
Verne's

a
lot
in
his
writing
career.
B
Drama
as
we
know
it
got
its
start
back
in
ancient
Greece.Many
of
the
plays
were
written
during
the
Classical
Period，from
525
BC
to
385
BC.Not
only
are
these
plays
still
popular
as
theatrical
productions，they
also
greatly
influenced
playwrights
throughout
history.Antigone
and
Medea
are
among
these
plays.Then，between
350
BC
and
250
BC，comedy
came
to
be
much
more
prominent
in
the
theatre.
Sadly，the
Dark
Ages
was
a
time
when
drama
became
nearly
extinct.There
was
no
theatre
in
the
Roman
empires
during
this
time.Ironically，the
Christian
church
that
nearly
destroyed
theatre
was
also
responsible
for
its
reappearance；the
church
began
to
present
the
Passion
Play，a
popular
dramatic
interpretation
of
the
Resurrection
during
Easter
services.
It
was
the
Renaissance
that
saw
a
huge
reappearance
in
all
types
of
art，including
theatre.William
Shakespeare，one
of
the
world's
most
renowned
playwrights，wrote
and
produced
many
plays
that
are
still
performed
regularly
even
today.
At
first，the
world
of
drama
belonged
to
men.Even
Shakespeare's
plays
were
performed
by
entirely
male
casts.In
the
mid
1600s
a
few
pioneering
women
began
to
pave
the
way
for
women
in
the
theatre.It
would
be
quite
some
time，nearly
half
a
century，before
acting
was
considered
an
acceptable
profession
for
women.The
18th
century
was
a
time
when
more
plays
were
being
written
for
and
about
the
middle
class.Toward
the
end
of
the
century，the
Romantic
period
began
in
Western
Europe，which
heavily
influenced
the
theatre
of
that
era.Unlike
the
previous
drama，romanticism
focused
on
emotion
rather
than
intellect.This
movement
continued
through
the
beginning
of
the
19th
century.
Realism
superseded
Romanticism
during
the
19th
century，paving
the
way
for
the
era
of
contemporary
drama
in
the
20th
century.During
the
1960s
and
1970s，playwrights
such
as
Tom
Stoppard，Sam
Shepard
and
David
Mamet
began
writing
plays
in
which
the
main
focus
was
the
language
and
dialogue
of
the
play.The
public
fancy
changes
through
the
decades，but
our
love
of
drama
is
as
strong
as
ever.
5．What
can
be
learnt
about
Antigone
and
Medea
A．They
were
the
best
comedies
of
the
time.
B．They
were
written
during
the
Classical
Period.
C．They
are
no
longer
popular
with
today's
audience.
D．They
were
written
on
the
history
of
Greek
history.
6．Why
did
drama
nearly
die
out
during
the
Dark
Ages
A．It
wasn't
allowed
by
the
Christian
church.
B．People
lost
their
interest
in
drama.
C．Too
many
wars
broke
out
during
that
period.
D．No
plays
good
enough
were
produced
then.
7．When
were
women
allowed
to
take
up
drama
as
a
career
A．Before
the
Dark
Ages.
B．Before
Shakespeare's
time.
C．In
the
middle
of
the
17th
century.
D．At
the
beginning
of
the
18th
century.
8．What
was
the
main

the
18th
century
A．The

of

class.

六、阅读理解
A
Arthur
Miller(1915 2005)is
universally
recognized
as
one
of
the
greatest
dramatists
of
the
20th
century.Miller's
father
had
moved
to
the
USA
from
Austria Hungary，drawn
like
so
many
others
by
the
“Great
American
Dream”．However，he
experienced
severe
financial
hardship
when
his
family
business
was
ruined
in
the
Great
Depression
of
the
early
l930s.
Miller's
most
famous
play，Death
of
a
Salesman，is
a
powerful
attack
on
the
American
system，with
its
aggressive
way
of
doing
business
and
its
insistence
on
money
and
social
status
as
indicators
of
worth.In
Willy
Loman，the
hero
of
the
play，we
see
a
man
who
has
got
into
trouble
with
his
worth.Willy
is
“burnt
out”
and
in
the
cruel
world
of
business
there
is
no
room
for
sentiment：if
he
can't
do
the
work，then
he
is
no
good
to
his
employer，the
Wagner
Company，and
must
go.Willy
is
painfully
aware
of
this，and
at
a
loss
as
to
do
with
his
lack
of
success.He
refuses
to
face
the
fact
that
he
has
failed

B
For
a
400 year old
art
form，opera
had
a
bad
fame：overweight
actresses
singing
the
words
which
were
hard
to
understand
in
one
of
those
romance
languages
you
were
supposed
to
learn
in
high
school.And
with
tickets
costing
as
much
as
$145
a
performance，opera
goers
also
had
a
certain
appearance
in
people's
mind：rich，well dressed
and
old.
But
now
opera
companies
around
the
country
are
loosening_their_ties_and_kicking_off_their
_shoes
in
an
attempt
to
keep
opera
alive
and
take
it
to
a
younger
and
not
so
wealthy
audience.
Opera
producers
have
found
that
to
attract
this
crowd，they
need
to
associate
opera
with
common
people.That
means
no
formal
suits，old style
theatre
or
bank
breaking
ticket
prices.And
because
young
people
don't
or
won't
come
to
the
opera，companies
are
bringing
the
opera
to
them，giving
performances
in
such
usual
places
as
parks，libraries
and
public
schools.
The
Houston
Grand
Opera's
choice
is
the
public
library，where
it
performs
“mobile
operas”，shortened
version
of
child friendly
operas.This
summer's
production
is
Hansel￡Gretel.By
performing
smaller
versions
of
large
productions，producers
are
able
to
make
people
interested
while
keeping
costs
at
a
reasonable
level.The
San
Francisco
Opera，which
will
be
celebrating
its
75th
anniversary
this
year，is
staging
Cinderella
free
of
charge，keeping
costs
down
by
employing
students
from
its
Young
Artists'
Training
Program.
6．What
is
the
passage
mainly
about
A．The
ticket
prices
of
opera
are
becoming
lower
and
lower.
B．Opera
is
popular
only
to
rich
people.
C．Opera
companies
are
trying
to
keep
operas
alive.
D．Young
people
are
not
interested
in
operas.
7．The
underlined
part
in
Paragraph
2
most
probably
means
______.
A．breaking
up
the
old
rules
B．changing
the
dresses
C．making
the
audience
laugh
D．lowering
the
prices
of
the
tickets
8．Why
opera
companies
prefer
to
perform
smaller
versions
A．Because
they
can
be
performed
in
public
libraries.
B．Because
short
versions
are
easy
to
perform.
C．Because
it
is
hard
to
find
long
versions.
D．Because
they
can
make
people
interested.
9．The
San
Francisco
Opera
employs
young
students
in
order
to
______.
A．make
young
people
interested
in
it
B．reduce
the
costs
C．celebrate
its
75th
anniversary
D．make
Cinderella
more
popular
10．We
can
conclude
that
______.
A．the
tickets
for
opera
are
very
expensive
at
present
B．opera
is
performed
in
a
language
difficult
to
understand
C．opera
is
not
so
popular
