    Dancing That Tells a Story--Ballet

    　　There are different ways of telling a story. It can be told in words. It can be told in pictures. It can be told in music. It can be acted out. Or it can be told by still another way--by dancing. Dancing that tells a story is called ballet.

    　　The dancing in a ballet is done to music, but the story is told by the movements of the dancers. There is no singing or speaking.

    　　The dancers in the picture are telling the story of Steeping Beauty. The music for this famous ballet was written by the Russian composer Tschaikowsky. The movements of its dancers were worked out by the French ballet master Petipa.

    　　A ballet is a work (of art) just as a beautiful picture is. The person who plans a ballet is an artist. So is each dancer.

    　　Sometimes ballet is called toe dancing. It is true that in some ballets the dancers do dance on their toes. But a great deal of the dancing in ballets is not toe dancing. Toe dancing is used to give the idea of lightness and airiness. It is never put into a ballet unless it fits the story.

    　　Back in the days of ancient Greece and Rome there were dances that told stories of the gods. Even longer ago in Egypt there were dances that told stories of the planets.But the ballet of today had its beginnings about 600 years ago. It began as a kind of entertainment in the courts of the rulers of Italy. Two hundred years later ballet was popular in the French court. The French king Louis X IV founded a ballet school.

    　　On a ballet program today there are often some French words. The names of many ballets are French. But there may be other French words, too. A part of a ballet that is danced by just two people is called a pas de deux. Such French words remind us that France was once the leader in ballet.

    　　Today there are many ballet companies. All opera companies, too, have ballet dancers, for ballets are a part of many operas. No one country now leads in ballet.

    　　Later the rulers of Russia became interested in ballet. They offered a great deal of money to the best ballet masters and dancers of France. They founded a ballet school. Soon Russia was the leader in ballet.

    　　Ballet is not easy to learn. A boy or a girl who wishes to be a ballet dancer has to begin going to a ballet school very early. Some begin when they are only three or four. All the parts in a ballet used to be danced by men. But now a girl has as good a chance as a boy of being a famous ballet dancer.

    (1)There are ______ ways of telling a story accordingto the passage.

    [　　]

    A．3
    B．4
    C．5
    D．6

    (2)Ballet is called toe dancing because _____.

    [　　]

    A．the days of ancient Greece and Rome

    B．days before ancient Greece and Rome

    C．about 600 years ago

    D．the time when Louis X IV was in power

    The A-level question Have 22 continuous years of rises in A-level pass rate made the exam worthless? David Miliband, the minister for School Standards, insists the answer is a firm " no". And he said it was wrong that " more will mean worse and more educa??tion for more people will mean lower standards". Figures show that — despite the rise in A-grades to 21. 6 per cent — only 22,000 out of 600,000 18-year-olds gain three A-grade pas??ses. Put another way, that means — in a primary class of 30 pupils — only one will get three A-grades. The center right Bow Group, in a pamphlet published today, however, says nine out of ten scholars believe A-grades have been devalued over the past ten years.

    Two inquiries (调查) — both set up by the Government’s exams watchdogs — one of which included in??dependent teaching experts, refused to accept that there had been any " dumping down" of A-level standards. But while they conclude that the exam questions have not become easier, changes in examining methods have almost certainly made it easier to gain top-grade passes.

    As a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000, students sit six different types of exams to make up an A-level during the course of their two years of study. Only 20 per cent of the marks are set for the end-of-term exam. This makes it easier for teachers to help their pupils with the right answers.

    Mr Miliband said yesterday, " My argument is not that to??day ‘s generation of pupils are cleverer than their parents; it is that schools and teachers are getting better at getting the best out of them. "

    5. From the writer’s point of view, the rise in A-grades to 21. 6 per cent shows ______.

    A. it is generally thought more education means lower standards

    B. the rise in the A-level pass rate has made the exam worthless

    C. the quality of the 18-year-olds has become lower

    D. it is still hard for the general pupils to get three A-grade passes

    6. The underlined word " they" in the second paragraph refers to ______.

    A. the exams watchdogs               B. the independent teaching experts

    C. the A-level standards                D. the two inquiries

    7. As a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000 ______.

    A. the pass rate for A-levels was set to rise continuously

    B. the exam became easier than it had been before 2000

    C. pupils could have many more choices of test after 2000

    D. it soon became popular with teachers and pupils

    8. What does this passage mainly discuss?

    A. How reliable and effective the A-level grading system is.

    B. How the A-level system helps universities select pupils.

    C. How the pass rate has been increased in recent years.

    D. How the A-level grading system has changed over the years.

    阅读理解。
    阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
         [1] Doctors may soon have some suggestions for health that even kids will like: more playtime. European
    and international health experts say a new study makes the most convincing case for the benefits of children
    being active. They say the research may lead to new guidelines saying youngsters aged between 5 and 16 need
    to be active up to 1.5 hours a day.
         [2] Experts said the study doesn't mean children need to be on treadmills (跑步机) or in a soccer
    leagues-they just need to be able to run around and play physically, even for short bursts of time.
         [3] The study looked at 1,732 9-year-olds and 15-year-olds from Denmark, Estonia and Portugal. Physical
    activity was observed for four continuous days. Despite differences among the three coun- tries where children were observed, the benefits of physical activity were the same.
         [4] About 40 percent of those observed were reasonably ac- tive, while the rest were sedentary, researchers said. The study found that the benefits of physical activity applied to all children- not just to obese ( 肥胖的)
    children normally thought to be at a higher risk.
         [5] While much attention has been paid to children's bad eat- ing habits,this study calls for equal weight to
    be placed on activity levels.
         [6] "We don't need to be getting kids running on treadmills in the gym." said Cavil."We need to encourage
    kids to play." One of the study's key findings, he explained, is that it proves the benefit of short bursts of activity, rather than a need for continuous exercises.
         [7] But _____ perhaps the greatest factor in children's physical activ- ity will be the parents themselves."It's
    not just that children should be more active,it's the whole family," said Weiss."Parents should be role models."
    1. What idea can we get from the researchers' finding in the pas- sage?( No more than 15words)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    2. What do you think parents should do to help their kids?( No more than 15 words)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    3. What do the children need to do to follow the doctors' sugges- tion?( No more than 15 words)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    4. Please explain the underlined word in English.( Only one word)
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
