A
There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual（典礼、宗教仪式）. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning， human beings viewed the natural forces of the world， even the seasonal changes， as unpredictable， and they sought through various means， to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled（以面纱遮盖）the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned， but the stories， later called myths， persisted and provided material for art and drama.
高考英语阶段测试卷（一）第3页
Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music， dance， masks， and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore， a suitable site had to be provided for performances， and when the entire community did not participate， a clear division was usually made between the “acting area” and the “auditorium”. In addition， there were performers， and， since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment（设定、制定） of rites， religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes， they often impersonated other people， animals， or super natural beings， and mimed（模仿） the desired effect—success in hunt or battle， the coming rain， the revival of the Sunas an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities. Another theory traces the theaters origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this view， tales（about the hunt， war， or other feats） are gradually elaborated， at first through the use of impersonation， action， and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.

WASHINGTON—Cutting global warming pollution would not only make the planet healthier， it would make people healthier too， new research suggests.
Slashing carbon dioxide emissions could save millions of lives， mostly by reducing preventable deaths from heart and lung diseases， according to studies released Wednesday and published in a special issue of The lancet British medical journal.
“Relying on fossil fuels leads to unhealthy lifestyles， increasing our chances for getting sick and in some cases takes years from our lives，” US Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a telecast briefing from her home state of Kansas. “As greenhouse gas emissions go down， so do deaths from cardiovascular（心血管的） and respiratory（呼吸道的） diseases. This is not a small effect.”
Instead of looking at the health ills caused by future global warming， as past studies have done， this research looks at the immediate benefits of doing something about the problem， said Linda Birnbaum， director of the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Some possible benefits seemed highly speculative（投机的）， the researchers conceded， based on people driving less and walking and cycling more. Other proposals studied were more concrete and achievable， such as eliminating cook stoves that bum dung， charcoal and other polluting fuels in the developing world.
And cutting carbon dioxide emissions also makes the air cleaner， reducing lung damage far millions of people， doctors said.
“Here are ways you can attack major health problems at the same time as dealing with climate change，” said lead author Dr. Paul Wilkinson， an environmental epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Wilkinson said the individual studies came up with numbers of premature deaths（早逝） prevented or extra years of life added for certain locales.
For example， switching to lowpolluting cars in London and Delhi， India， would save 160 lost years of life in London and nearly 1，700 in Delhi for every million residents， one study found. But if people also drove less and walked or biked more， those extra saved years would soar to more than 7，300 years in London and 12，500 years in Delhi because of less heart disease.
64. What does the underlined word “Slashing”（Paragraph 2） mean？
A. IncreasingB. ReducingC. ForbiddingD. Transforming 65. If we depend on too much on fossil fuels， which of the following may NOT be the result？
A. It will promote unhealthy lifestyles.
B. People may easily get sick.
C. We wont live as long as expected.
D. We will become addicted to them sooner or later.
66. According to the researchers， .
A. only driving less and walking more may not work as people think
B. it is urgent for people to stop using cook stoves
C. cutting carbon dioxide emissions can treat lung disease
D. premature deaths is the major health problem
67. What is the best title of the passage？
A. Cutting carbon dioxide emissions will reduce the greenhouse effect.
B. Carbon dioxide emissions are the main cause for warming pollution.
C. It is important to take immediate measures to fight against warming pollution.
D. Cutting global warming pollution would make people healthier.

As I walked home， I met across a wallet someone had lost in the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find some identification so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a crumpled（起皱的） letter that looked as if it had been in there for years. The envelope was worn and the only thing that was clear on it was the return address. I started to open the letter， hoping to find some clue. Then I saw the dateline—1924. The letter had been written almost sixty years earlier. It was written in a beautiful female handwriting. It was a “Dear John” letter that told the receiver， whose name appeared to be Michael， that the writer could not see him any more because her mother forbade it. Even so， she wrote that she would always love him. It was signed Hannah.
It was a beautiful letter， but there was no way， except for the name Michael， to identify the owner. Maybe if I called information， the operator could find a phone listing for the address on the envelope.
A woman gasped when I asked whether she knew anyone by the name of Hannah， “Oh！ We bought this house from a family who had a daughter named Hannah. But that was thirty years ago！ I remember that Hannah had to place her mother in a nursing home some years ago. Maybe if you got in touch with them， they might be able to track down the daughter.” She gave me the name of the nursing home， and I called the number. The woman on the phone told me the old lady had passed away some years ago， but the nursing home did have a phone number for where the daughter might be living. I thanked the person at the nursing home and phoned the number she gave me. The woman who answered explained that Hannah herself was now living in a nursing home. “The whole thing is stupid，” I thought to myself. “Why am I making such a big deal over finding the owner of a wallet that has only three dollars and a letter that is almost sixty years old？” Nevertheless， I called the nursing home in which Hannah was supposed to be living.
In the day room， Hannah was watching television. The second she saw the envelope， she took a deep breath and said， “Young man， this letter was the last contact I ever had with Michael.” She looked away for a moment， deep in thought， and then said softly， “I loved him very much. But I was only sixteen at the time and my mother felt I was too young. Oh， he was so handsome.”
“Yes，” she continued， “Michael Goldstein was a wonderful person. If you should find him， tell him I think of him often. And，” she hesitated for a moment， almost biting her lip， tears welled up in her eyes， “I never did marry. I guess no one ever matched up to Michael…”
……
I took great pains to find both Hannah and Michael， who still remained single. About three weeks later， I got a call at my office from the nursing home. “Can you break away on Sunday to come？ Michael and Hannah are going to tie the knot！”
68. When did the writer come across the lost wallet？
A. In 1924B. In 1984
C. Sixty years agoD. thirty years ago
69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A. Michael lost his wallet in the street thirty years ago.
B. Hannah felt sorry for sending the letter to John.
C. Hannah was in love with Michael so much those years.
D. The writer felt it wasnt worth taking pains to find the owner of a wallet.
70. The passage was written mainly to tell us .
A. an old woman who had been in love with Michael those years
B. a perfect ending for a love affair that had lasted nearly sixty years
C. the wallet that someone had lost in the street sixty years ago
D. the difficulty that the writer had finding the owner of the wallet

There are 3 basic types of rock climbing. Top roping is probably one of the most common types and is basically climbing with a partner. Top roping is a style in which a rope， used for the climbers safety， runs from a belayer（保护者、牵引员） at the foot of a route through one or more carabiners（登山扣） connected to an anchor system at the top of the route and back down to the climber， usually attaching to the climber by means of a harness.
The second type， which is very similar to top roping is called lead climbing. The buddy（同伴） system works the same way， one man on the ground belaying and the other climbing， but this time instead of the rope being at the top of the rock it has to be hooked into clasps（钩子） as the climber up the rock. In both of these types of rock climbing the climber has the luxury to sit off the rock face and rest on the rope. However， lead climbing requires the climber to hang from the rock face with one hand， grab the rope， and pull it up to clip it into the clasps， this can be very hard depending on many different things. The third type of rock climbing is called bouldering. Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes or harnesses. The climber tends to stay much closer to the ground. This is the most demanding of all climbing. The climber must be able to complete the route without taking a rest on the rope. Often， during a bouldering route the climber is required to do a maneuver called a dyno（动态动作）. Dynos are basically launching yourself off the rock face， and then grabbing onto a hold further away from you. This type of maneuver is where mental training plays a major role in climbing.
Believe it or not， climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and successfully one must use wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have 3 points touching the rock face. Weather it is both feet and one hand， or one foot and both hands， it is much easier to have your weight distributed on 3 points than it is 2. Another important concept to grasp is that your arms in most cases will not do the climbing； they only hold you into the rock face so that your legs are actually pushing you upward. The closer you are to the rock face， the easier it is to climb.

Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music， dance， masks， and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore， a suitable site had to be provided for performances， and when the entire community did not participate， a clear division was usually made between the “acting area” and the “auditorium”. In addition， there were performers， and， since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment（设定、制定） of rites， religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes， they often impersonated other people， animals， or super natural beings， and mimed（模仿） the desired effect—success in hunt or battle， the coming rain， the revival of the Sunas an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities. Another theory traces the theaters origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this view， tales（about the hunt， war， or other feats） are gradually elaborated， at first through the use of impersonation， action， and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.

WASHINGTON—Cutting global warming pollution would not only make the planet healthier， it would make people healthier too， new research suggests.
Slashing carbon dioxide emissions could save millions of lives， mostly by reducing preventable deaths from heart and lung diseases， according to studies released Wednesday and published in a special issue of The lancet British medical journal.
“Relying on fossil fuels leads to unhealthy lifestyles， increasing our chances for getting sick and in some cases takes years from our lives，” US Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a telecast briefing from her home state of Kansas. “As greenhouse gas emissions go down， so do deaths from cardiovascular（心血管的） and respiratory（呼吸道的） diseases. This is not a small effect.”
Instead of looking at the health ills caused by future global warming， as past studies have done， this research looks at the immediate benefits of doing something about the problem， said Linda Birnbaum， director of the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Some possible benefits seemed highly speculative（投机的）， the researchers conceded， based on people driving less and walking and cycling more. Other proposals studied were more concrete and achievable， such as eliminating cook stoves that bum dung， charcoal and other polluting fuels in the developing world.
And cutting carbon dioxide emissions also makes the air cleaner， reducing lung damage far millions of people， doctors said.
“Here are ways you can attack major health problems at the same time as dealing with climate change，” said lead author Dr. Paul Wilkinson， an environmental epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Wilkinson said the individual studies came up with numbers of premature deaths（早逝） prevented or extra years of life added for certain locales.
For example， switching to lowpolluting cars in London and Delhi， India， would save 160 lost years of life in London and nearly 1，700 in Delhi for every million residents， one study found. But if people also drove less and walked or biked more， those extra saved years would soar to more than 7，300 years in London and 12，500 years in Delhi because of less heart disease.
64. What does the underlined word “Slashing”（Paragraph 2） mean？
A. IncreasingB. ReducingC. ForbiddingD. Transforming 65. If we depend on too much on fossil fuels， which of the following may NOT be the result？
A. It will promote unhealthy lifestyles.
B. People may easily get sick.
C. We wont live as long as expected.
D. We will become addicted to them sooner or later.
66. According to the researchers， .
A. only driving less and walking more may not work as people think
B. it is urgent for people to stop using cook stoves
C. cutting carbon dioxide emissions can treat lung disease
D. premature deaths is the major health problem
67. What is the best title of the passage？
A. Cutting carbon dioxide emissions will reduce the greenhouse effect.
B. Carbon dioxide emissions are the main cause for warming pollution.
C. It is important to take immediate measures to fight against warming pollution.
D. Cutting global warming pollution would make people healthier.

As I walked home， I met across a wallet someone had lost in the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find some identification so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a crumpled（起皱的） letter that looked as if it had been in there for years. The envelope was worn and the only thing that was clear on it was the return address. I started to open the letter， hoping to find some clue. Then I saw the dateline—1924. The letter had been written almost sixty years earlier. It was written in a beautiful female handwriting. It was a “Dear John” letter that told the receiver， whose name appeared to be Michael， that the writer could not see him any more because her mother forbade it. Even so， she wrote that she would always love him. It was signed Hannah.
It was a beautiful letter， but there was no way， except for the name Michael， to identify the owner. Maybe if I called information， the operator could find a phone listing for the address on the envelope.
A woman gasped when I asked whether she knew anyone by the name of Hannah， “Oh！ We bought this house from a family who had a daughter named Hannah. But that was thirty years ago！ I remember that Hannah had to place her mother in a nursing home some years ago. Maybe if you got in touch with them， they might be able to track down the daughter.” She gave me the name of the nursing home， and I called the number. The woman on the phone told me the old lady had passed away some years ago， but the nursing home did have a phone number for where the daughter might be living. I thanked the person at the nursing home and phoned the number she gave me. The woman who answered explained that Hannah herself was now living in a nursing home. “The whole thing is stupid，” I thought to myself. “Why am I making such a big deal over finding the owner of a wallet that has only three dollars and a letter that is almost sixty years old？” Nevertheless， I called the nursing home in which Hannah was supposed to be living.
In the day room， Hannah was watching television. The second she saw the envelope， she took a deep breath and said， “Young man， this letter was the last contact I ever had with Michael.” She looked away for a moment， deep in thought， and then said softly， “I loved him very much. But I was only sixteen at the time and my mother felt I was too young. Oh， he was so handsome.”
“Yes，” she continued， “Michael Goldstein was a wonderful person. If you should find him， tell him I think of him often. And，” she hesitated for a moment， almost biting her lip， tears welled up in her eyes， “I never did marry. I guess no one ever matched up to Michael…”
……
I took great pains to find both Hannah and Michael， who still remained single. About three weeks later， I got a call at my office from the nursing home. “Can you break away on Sunday to come？ Michael and Hannah are going to tie the knot！”

There are 3 basic types of rock climbing. Top roping is probably one of the most common types and is basically climbing with a partner. Top roping is a style in which a rope， used for the climbers safety， runs from a belayer（保护者、牵引员） at the foot of a route through one or more carabiners（登山扣） connected to an anchor system at the top of the route and back down to the climber， usually attaching to the climber by means of a harness.
The second type， which is very similar to top roping is called lead climbing. The buddy（同伴） system works the same way， one man on the ground belaying and the other climbing， but this time instead of the rope being at the top of the rock it has to be hooked into clasps（钩子） as the climber up the rock. In both of these types of rock climbing the climber has the luxury to sit off the rock face and rest on the rope. However， lead climbing requires the climber to hang from the rock face with one hand， grab the rope， and pull it up to clip it into the clasps， this can be very hard depending on many different things. The third type of rock climbing is called bouldering. Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes or harnesses. The climber tends to stay much closer to the ground. This is the most demanding of all climbing. The climber must be able to complete the route without taking a rest on the rope. Often， during a bouldering route the climber is required to do a maneuver called a dyno（动态动作）. Dynos are basically launching yourself off the rock face， and then grabbing onto a hold further away from you. This type of maneuver is where mental training plays a major role in climbing.
Believe it or not， climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and successfully one must use wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have 3 points touching the rock face. Weather it is both feet and one hand， or one foot and both hands， it is much easier to have your weight distributed on 3 points than it is 2. Another important concept to grasp is that your arms in most cases will not do the climbing； they only hold you into the rock face so that your legs are actually pushing you upward. The closer you are to the rock face， the easier it is to climb.
