year,Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer.But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616,and he is certainly not the only writer to haveleft a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide,Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highlyspoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince.Unlike Shakespeares large body of plays,poems andsonnets(十四行诗),Tang wrote only four major plays:The Purple Hairpin,Peony Pavilion(牡丹亭),A Dreamunder the Southern bough,and Dream of Handan.The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative,away through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored humannature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare,Tangs success rode the wave of a renaissance(复兴)in theater as an artistic practice.As in ShakespearesEngland,Tangs works became hugely popular inChinatoo.During TangsChina,his plays wereenjoyed performed,and changed.Kunqu Opera,a form of musical drama,spread from southernChinato the wholenation and became a symbol of Chinese culture.Combining northern tune and southern music,kunqu Opera wasknown for its poetic language,music,dance movements and gestures.Tangs works benefited greatly from thepopularity of kunqu Opera,and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other,there are many things they share incommon,such e humanity of their drama,their heroic figures,their love for poetic language,a lasting popularityand the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1.Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A.To describe Shakespeares anniversary.B.To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C.To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D.To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2.Whats possibly one of the main theme of Tangs works?A.Social reality.B.Female dreams.C.Human emotions.D.Political environment.3.What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A.The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tangs works.B.Tangs success in copying Shakespeares styles.C.The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D.Tangs popularity for his poetic language and music.BScientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(麻省理工学院)have turned spider webs intomusiccreating an strange soundtrack that could help them better understand how the spiders output theircomplex creations and even how they communicate.The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2D(two-dimensional)laser(激光)scans of a spider web,which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate theweb in 3Din VR(virtual reality).They also worked with MITs music department to create the virtual instrument.“Even though the web looks really random(随机)，there actually are a lot of inside structures and you canvisualize(可视化)them and you can look at them,but its really hard to grasp for the human imagination orhuman brain to understand all these structural details,”said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler,whopresented the work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structuralchanges and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world,he told CNN.“Spiders use vibrations(振动)as a wayto locate themselves,to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider wouldexperience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,”Buehler said.Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports,so having a better idea of how they workcould lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques.“The reason why I did that is I wanted tobe able to get information really from the spider world,which is very weird and mysterious,”Buehler explained.Inaddition to the scientific value,Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the soundsthe spider creates during construction.“Its unusual and eerie and scary,but finally beautiful.”he described.4.What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?A.They have translated spider webs into sounds.B.They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.C.They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.D.They have known how spiders communicate.5.What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?A.Their structures are beautiful and clear.B.Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.C.The American Chemical Society presents the result.D.They are complex for people to figure it out.6.In which field will the study be helpful?A.virtual realityB.printingC.paintingD.film-making7.What is the main idea of the passage?A.It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.B.It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.C.It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.D.It explains why scientists did the experiment.CAs summer approaches,many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand.One great wayto make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel.Clearly,I am not a naturally adventurous person,but I have found that takingthe risk and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a veryrewarding experience.Because I am usually quite busy during the school year,most of my travels take place during the summer.Over the past few summers,I have hiked in the Grand Canyon,explored Niagara Falls,and camped out in upstateNew York.Although these experiences are varied,they are similar in that they instill(灌输)a sense of appreciationfor nature and a more balanced view on life.When I hiked in the Grand Canyon,for example,I was in awe(敬畏)ofthe geological influences that shaped the canyon.Adventures,of course,are not limited to hiking.There are many other choices,such as camping,volunteeringin a foreign environment and travelling to different countries.In my opinion,adventures are more enjoyable withfamily or a few friends.There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdooradventures.For example,when I was in Boy Scouts,I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends.WhenI came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip,I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks andnature around me.Next fall,I will attend college.In the meantime though,I hope to make the most of my summer to exploreand travel.Now,I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine.When I visited Maine last fall,I was amazed by how beautiful it was and the tall trees and coasts that exist,and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature there this summer.8.We can learn from

down with me and was very polite.”After the interview,Mother Teresa asked him,“What are you doing to help the poor?”Donaldson admitted that he was young and wasnt focused on helpingothers.With a smile on her face,Mother Teresa said,“Everyone can do something.”Those words deeply struck Donaldson and forced him to face some hard truths about himself.Hal Donaldson grew up in the San Francisco Bay area.When he was 12 years old,his parents were hit by adrunk driver;his father died,and his mother was seriously injured.To make ends meet,they went on welfare.Donaldson says,“I had holes in my shoes and clothes.When youre teased at school for that,you just want toescape.”He managed to do just that.Donaldson got into college and turned his focus to making money for himself Hesays,“I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance.However,its easy to overlook others along the way.Iwas the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street,so I didnthave to confront(面对)him.Myfocus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.”Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought.He traveled to eight cities in America andstayed on the streets and listened tostories of the homeless.“My heart broke,”he says.“I knew I could no longerjust live for myself.”Inspired by Mother Teresas words and the stories hed heard across America.Donaldson loaded a pick-uptruck with$300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help.In 1994,Donaldson createdthe nonprofit organization,Convoy for Hope,which works
