    For a 400-year-old art form, operas had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which are hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $145 a performance, operagoers also have a certain appearance in people’s mind: rich, well-dressed and old.

        But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to bring the opera to the audience (观众) it needs to keep it alive, the young and not-so-rich.

        Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. That means no formal suits, old-styled theatre or bank-breaking ticket prices. And because young people don’t or won’t come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such usual places as parks, libraries and public schools.

        The Houston Grand Opera’s choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”, shortened versions (剧本) of child-friendly operas. This summer’s production is Hansel & Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary (周年) this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists’ Training Program.

    1. Which is the main idea of this passage?

    A.　　  Opera is famous for its long history.

    B.　　  Opera is only performed for rich people.

    C.　　  Young people are not interested in opera.

    D.　　 Opera companies are trying to keep opera alive.

    2. The underlined phrase “loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes” means ______.

    A.　　  breaking up the old rules　　  　　    B. changing the formal suits

      C.  making the audience at ease　　   D. advertising themselves

    3. Opera companies prefer to perform short versions because _______.

    A.　　  it is hard to find long versions

    B.　　  short versions are easy to perform

    C.　　  they can perform in public libraries

    D.　　 they can make people come to opera

    4. The San Francisco Opera Company employs student actors in order to _______.

    A.　　  celebrate its 75th anniversary    　　 B. reduce the cost

      C.  attract young people　　　　       D. make Cinderella popular

    5. From the passage we can infer that _______.

    A.　　  the tickets for operas are very expensive

    B.　　  operas are performed in a difficult language

    C.　　  operas are not so popular an art form today

    D.　　 students enjoy performing operas very much

    　　America is a country on the move．In unheard-of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health．According to the latest figures, 59 per cent of American adults exercise regularly－up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago．Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active．

    　　It is hard not to get the message．The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads of everything from beauty soaps to travel books．Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises．Growing publicity(宣传)for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running．Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding－and sometimes safer－forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise．

    　　As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits．The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously(强有力地)enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time．Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months．

    阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories．It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from．It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars．

    　　Certainly, most of the world’s great religions (宗教) order us to be open - hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves．But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea．Quite a few people will not give to beggars．Let us look at their arguments．

    　　First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging．Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行)．Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs．Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging．One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self - dependence．

    　　Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people．Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help．

    　　It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently．A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver．

    (1)

    What is mainly discussed in the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Moral deeds of people．

    B．

    Religious activities of the church．

    C．

    Moral goodness of the giver．

    D．

    Arguments on giving to beggars．

    (2)

    What can we infer from the sentence“But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?

    [　　]

    A．

    People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village．

    B．

    Some people will not do what was morally right in the past．

    C．

    We don’t meet with those who need help any more．

    D．

    Now it is the government’s duty to help the beggars．

    (3)

    Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars．

    B．

    Some beggars use the money to buy drugs．

    C．

    Some beggars want money to help their children go to school．

    D．

    Some beggars have no excuse for begging．

    (4)

    In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the cases can be so different

    B．

    there are so many beggars

    C．

    there is so much money wasted

    D．

    there are so many different arguments

    　　The first time that I had heard the term“EQ”was in the fall of 1995 when the book Emotional Intelligence，by Daniel Goleman，was widely covered by the American press．The widespread research presented in the book supported my own observations and doubts about life and emotions，and told me that I was on the right track to go after happiness．The research continues to confirm what I had concluded on my own：These feelings are extremely important to individual health，happiness，and social harmony．This might seem a bit obvious，but it was not always obvious to me．

    　　I grew up in a family where we didn't talk about feelings．We talked about ideas，concepts and principles．As a result，I could tell you what I thought about everything，but I couldn't tell you how I felt about anything．After several failed relationships，I took time off to reflect on my life and realized I had made many decisions which resulted in unhappiness for myself and others．After studying the literature on emotions and feelings，I concluded that most of my poor decisions could be directly due to what is now called low emotional intelligence，or low EQ，for short．Previously，I struggled to find happiness through the traditional routes-material success．Now，however，I realize that：

    　　There's not much point having either wealth or relationships if you aren't happy．

    　　It is hard to be happy with others if you aren't happy yourself．

    　　It is hard to be happy alone if you don't feel good about yourself，i．e．have high self-esteem and self-confidence．

    　　It is hard to have good feelings about yourself if you don't have good emotional management skills．

    　　Emotional management skills，the main subject of EQ，are，therefore，one of the most basic elements of happiness．

    get along badly with each other

    [　　]

    if he could earn a lot of money
