　　(2015·济南模拟)American LaMar Baylor spends most of his time in New York，working as a performer in the Broadway musical—The Lion King.But since 2011，he has also spent weeks in Kigali，the capital of Rwanda.There he teaches dance to boys who live on the street.His teaching is part of an effort by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company.The project helps young people learn more about dance and learn how to behave in a classroom environment.

　　LaMar Baylor describes his students as genocide (大屠杀) survivors.They have lost all of their families，and some even have been in prison.“They have been through things that no one should ever have to go through，” said Baylor.Dance classes provide the children with structured learning and self－expression that they've never had before.They can also take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow directions.

　　Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships，and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding School.About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid.All the students are male，because few girls in Rwanda live freely on the street.

　　The Rwanda program is the largest one set up by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company，founded and directed by Rebecca Davis.Ms Davis has also set up dance programs in Bosnia－Herzegovina and Guinea.About 2，000 children in the three countries have taken part in the project since its launch (发起) in 2010.

　　体裁：说明文　话题：巴黎“自行车之都”　词351　时间：5′

　　Paris is planning to double the number of cycling lanes(车道) by 2020 to turn the city into “the world's bike capital”．The 150 million－euro project will increase the number of safe bike lanes from the current 700 kilometers

　　(435 miles) to 1400 kilometers within five years.

　　Paris town hall hopes the new lanes will help triple (增至三倍) the number of journeys made on a bike from five percent to 15 percent by that time.The new “express network” for bikes will introduce protected cycling lanes on major streets throughout the city，including the banks of the Seine，separated from the traffic.“We think that there are people ready to cycle but don' t do it because of a sense of not being safe，” said Christophe Najdovski，Green deputy mayor (副市长) in charge of transport.“This plan will create a new form of tourism in Paris which is booming (迅速发展) elsewhere soon，” he said.

　　The plans also include increasing the number of two－way cycling lanes on smaller roads，where the speed limit for motorists will be limited to 30 km/h.Among the new cycle lanes will be one along the famous dangerous street—Champs Elysees.Some 10，000 bike parking spaces will be added along the cycling lanes at the same time according to the plans.City hall intends to set up cycling classes and repair workshops to get Parisians on their bikes.

　　Paris' famous bike rental (租赁的) company “Velib” is going from strength to strength，with some 283，000 subscribers (用户) and 40 million individual rentals this year already.The city is now considering introducing electric bikes for hillier parts like Montmartre.

　　The plans come days after Paris suffered worrying pollution levels that topped Shanghai for a short time，according to one weather agency.

　　A．inspire people to take exercise

　　B．lower the risk of unemployment

　　C．teach people to cycle safely

　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。这是一篇有关颜色文化的文章。在不同的文化中，各种颜色都会有不同的含义、功能和作用。为什么女孩子喜欢粉红色和紫色？而男孩则喜欢蓝色和棕色呢？

　　29．on　[考查介词。根据语境和空格前后的结构关系分析，句意：答案在很大程度上取决于文化价值观和个人的经历。故空格填入介词on，depend on“取决于，受……的影响”，符合语境。]

　　30．choice　[考查名词。根据上文的名词所有格people's和下文的of colors限定分析，此空该填入动词choose的名词形式choice。]

　　31．color　[考查名词。与上文的Green is said to be...形成对接，即“据说绿色是最为宁静的颜色”，故填入名词color。]

　　32．working　[考查现在分词。根据句子结构分析，该句的主语是People，谓语动词即为have been found to have，故空格部分至in green environment是后置定语，修饰people。又根据people与work的主谓关系分析，此处填入现在分词。]

　　33．fewer　[考查形容词比较等级。根据上文“It has the ability to reduce pain”可知，在绿色环境中工作的人比在其他环境中工作的人得胃病的几率更小。]

　　34．that/which　[考查关系代词。根据句子结构分green was a color即为主句，则后面的部分为定语从句，且该定语从句中缺少指物的主语，故用关系代词that或which引导该定语从句。]

　　35．are given　[考查语态。根据语境分析，该句缺少谓语动词，又因主语children与动词give存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故用被动语态，再结合前后句的谓语动词分析，此句也用一般现在时。故填入一般现在时的被动语态，即are given。]

　　36．Similarly　[考查副词。根据该空所处句首位置和后面的逗号分析，此处应是副词作状语，故填入形容词similar的副词形式similarly，且单词首字母必须大写。]

　　37．themselves　[考查反身代词。根据上下文语境分析该句句意：希腊人常佩戴蓝色项链，希望保护自己远离邪恶。故填入与Greek people吻合的反身代词themselves。]

　　38．if　[考查连词。根据下文some suggest that eating from blue plates should help分析：如果你想吃得更少些，人们就会建议你从蓝色的碟子中取食，(这)会有用。故用if引导条件状语从句。]
