阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The theater goes dark. The audience （观众） quiets down. The curtain opens. Actors step onto the stage, and the audience sits and waits for the play to begin.
Many people are needed to put on a play. Some of these people have made the setting, or set, that decorates the stage, and costumes（戏服）for the actors to wear. Actors have tried out for the parts. Then they have taken time to learn their lines. Even after the play is ready to be performed, the work doesn’t end. Let’s take a look behind the scenes.
To get ready for the play, actors put on costumes and makeup. These items will help the audience get to know the characters that the actors will play on the stage. Someone backstage may help with costume changes and repairs.
A set is like a costume for the stage. It can look like a forest or a playground or anyplace else you can imagine. Sets may be made from wood, paper, and even fabric. They are usually light so they are easy to move on and off the stage.
The lights in a play are very important. Lighting shows the time of day. It can also set the feeling of a scene. For example, brightness may make the audience feel happy and get their attention. A lighting technician controls the lighting during the play.
This is just some of what’s needed to put on a play. Next time you see a performance, imagine all of the people who work hard to help the performers put on a good show.
21. The first paragraph introduces readers to the topic by ________.
A. describing a scene in a play
B. showing how to produce a play
C. explaining different roles in a play
D. presenting the last-minute preparation for a play
22. According to the passage, settings, or sets ________.
A. decorate the stage like costumes
B. are usually made from rare materials
C. must be slowly changed with great care
D. determine the time and atmosphere of a play
23. Who is the passage probably written for?

B. Play writers.
C. Audiences.
D. Directors.

When I came to Cincinnati as an au pair (家庭打工留学生), a lot of things there were different from what I knew. My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a "castle"．In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom. Soon I found out that the "castle" was actually rather small in our neighborhood.
Everybody there was very friendly and polite. They greeted you when they were walking by at least 3 feet away from you. They must not have seen a German au pair before, for most people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany. I enjoyed answering their various strange questions. I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.
Of course, there were a number of new things, and it took me the whole year to find them all out. I never got homesick. Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.
However, I had undergone some painful experience back in Germany. I was frustrated by the way people would run me over and not even say "Sorry". Taking up my studies at the TU-Dresden, I felt lonely. Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn(离群的) and I missed everything I had in Cincinnati. Germany was so "cold". I found it so much harder to make new friends. I also flew back to Cincinnati several times for long periods. I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.
Now I am over this German culture shock. It almost took me an entire year. I am still going back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.

Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life．He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think．One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week．From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life．
He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture．You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends．But you’ll know him only when you ask him to lend you some money．If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before．Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t．
Since money is important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important．The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book．
Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect．I’m nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich．
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In this book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society; to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end．Money plays an important role in the modern world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life．
28. According to the first paragraph, people haven’t realized __________．
A．how one spends money shows what is important to him
B．that money is more important than their philosophy of life
C．how important money is in their day-to-day life

.
A．he does not feel that he is well -educated
B．he does not consider himself to be very successful
C．he does not think that he is a very important person
D．he does not think being rich deserves so much attention
30. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?
A．Money is unimportant． B．Money is everything．
C．Money is an end．
D． Money is a means．
31. Which of the following might the author disagree?
A．Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness．
B．Money is important in modern society．
C．Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth．
D．The meaning of life doesn’t completely lie in money．
D
Advertisements(广告)are seen everywhere in our daily life.
The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote (促进) the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed town criers to read the public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements (ads) could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.
By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.
Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as reception of the firm's name or product words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.
Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as “advertising agencies (广告商).”The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism (消费主义) as a way of life，spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the “right” products.
32. What kind of advertising appeared in the 1400s?
People heard advertisements shouted.
Merchants were employed to promote their goods.
All product information was included in books.
People could read advertisements in public places.
33. What can we infer from the passage?
In the fifteenth century, only printing form of advertising existed.
In the beginning, people did not read advertisements.
Newspapers are also called advertising agencies.
Printing advertisements are the latest form of advertising.
34. What can you learn about London Gazette?
It was an advertising agency.
It was the first advertisement in London.
It was a newspaper had special place for advertising.
It was a new way of life.
35. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
The Development of Advertisement.
The Importance of Newspaper Advertisements.
The Value of Designs in Advertising.
The Story of Printed Advertisements.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The word “diary” comes from the Latin word “diarium”. 36.________ And it is used for business notes, planning activities, keeping track of scheduled appointments, or documenting what has already happened. Some doctors suggest that writing in a diary is a good form of self-study.

It will continue over the course of several years to come. 39.________ Today’s electronic version of the diary, the web log or “blog” has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day’s events.
