DStephen Daldry.3Which play will you go to see if you are interested in American history?AAnimals Out of Paper.BThe Audience.CHamilton.DOn the Twentieth Century.BPeople 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 ending. Comedies put unusual characters in special situations, causing them to do and say funny things. Comedies 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 farces 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.( )4What do we know about comedies?AThey don't talk about serious topics.BThey usually don't have sad endings.CThere're always some arguments in them.DThere're four kinds of comedies mentioned.( )5How would people most probably feel when watching the play Waiting for Godot according to the passage?AWorried.BPleased.CUpset. DConfused.( )6What are performers required to do in dramas like La bohème?ASay something funny.BPresent physical humor.CBe good at acting and singing.DTell stories through dialogue.( )7Who would most probably love to watch docudramas?AGirls loving romantic stories.BChildren loving funny stories.CPeople interested in real events in history.DPeople interested in science fiction.CIn the cartoon Tom and Jerry, Tom tries his best to catch Jerry, and Jerry keeps finding ways to escape.Both Tom and Jerry have their own challenges but they were born to never give up. Here are four life lessons we can learn from these two cartoon characters：We turn to our nearest and dearest ones when facing difficulties because we feel it is our right.Well, it doesn't really matter how many times we ask for help；what matters is whether we provide emotional security when they are in the face of threats.Do we offer our shoulders when they are in need of us or stand by them when they feel upset？Do we share our happiness with them?If you are witty, then your size does not matter at all. A weak man might get frightened for a moment but he can defeat the strongest with his intelligence. Jerry just makes good use of his brain and wins. If you ever feel lost, disappointed, or weak, return to yourself and try to explore your strength. “You never know how strong you can be until being strong is the only choice you have.”At times, your best friend might behave rudely or seem to be your greatest enemy. It's not the time to express your anger and prove him or her wrong. It is quite likely that your friend expects you to be wiser in difficult situations and wants you to acknowledge your mistakes. Love is expressed in a variety of ways.Be prepared to face difficulties even if you have had enough. There is an old saying, “Every difficulty is an opportunity！” Be prepared and let them come and get you bothered; they will make you a stronger and wiser person.It often happens that whenever Tom thinks that all is done Jerry eventually wins.( )8What is the first lesson we learn from the cartoon characters according to the passage?AFight against the nearest and dearest friends.BRely on ourselves when facing difficulties.CDo our friends a favor if necessary.DWithout friends, we can do nothing at all.( )9What does the underlined word “witty” in paragraph 3 mean?AStrong. BWise.CConfident. DHopeful.( )10If your best friend behaves rudely toward you, what should you do?AExpress your anger to him or her.BTry to prove him or her wrong.CRegard him or her as your greatest enemy.DImagine it as a way of expressing love.( )11Why is the old saying “Every difficulty is an opportunity！” mentioned in the last paragraph?ATo tell us we should make use of every difficulty to improve ourselves.BTo tell us we should grasp the opportunity to find true friends.CTo tell us we should be confident of overcoming all the difficulties.DTo tell us we should prove how strong we can be.DThere's a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedythe former scares you half to death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor with laughter. But try watching them without the background music and you just might decide they're not so different after all. Music and movies have been closely connected since the beginning of the film industryeven before the voices of actors were recorded. In movies, music helps to provide a sense of time and place, convey ideas about the characters and, most importantly, draw emotions out of the audience.Studies have long shown that our heart rates and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the speed of the music we hear. Using this knowledge, composers use sudden changes in the speed of movie music to create fear among audience. Slowing the speed of the music will have the opposite effect, bringing about a sense of peace or a dreamlike quality. The use of dissonant (声音不谐和的) tones and sounds is another technique that increases tension. We naturally become anxious when hearing dissonant sounds because such noises are usually associated with danger, like those that animals make to warn against predators (食肉动物)Crucial as it is, the best film music is subtle. All that audience are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotionthey couldn't realize what's causing it. Only when the music is taken out of the film could audience understand its effects.In keeping with this principle, some filmmakers are even using what's called “infrasound (次声)” to arouse fear. While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency is below the audible range of the human ear, infrasound has proven to cause anxiety, trembles and even sorrow. For example, infrasound was used in the soundtrack of the 2007 horror movie Paranormal Activity, and audience showed extremely high fear levels despite the lack of action throughout the movie. “It doesn't affect everyone equally，” said British writer Philip Ball, author of The Music Instinct, but he predicted that we would see more of it used in movies in the future.( )12What is the difference between a horror movie and a comedy?ATheir history.BTheir background music.CTheir actors.DTheir time and place.( )13What causes fear among audience?AThe theme of the music.BThe slow speed of the tangle.CThe knowledge of the music.DThe unexpected change in the music.( )14What does the underlined word “subtle” in the third paragraph mean?AGentle.BWonderful.CNot immediately obvious.DNot extremely attractive.( )15What do we know about “infrasound” from the last paragraph?AIt can't be known to people.BIt makes audience relaxed.CIt is within the audible range of the human ear.DIt will be used more in movies in the future.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面的短文，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。How to Be Healthy When Your Family Isn't?Trying to eat healthily and get enough exercise can be difficult when your family refuse to get healthy with you. 16.
