A series of books in Chinese and English covering eight classic works of Peking Opera were recently released，with the aim of revealing details about the art form in a direct way.
The bilingual(双语的) books are from the Translation Series of a Hundred Jingju Classics，a project originated in 2011，which is part of the effort by the central government to promote Chinese culture overseas.
Peking Opera，with its complex and colorful costumes and make-up，as well as the unique performance combining singing，dialogue，acting and acrobatics(杂技)，has become a symbol of traditional Chinese culture.Over the last 200 years，more than 1,000 Peking Opera shows have been produced telling the most classic historical stories in China，as well as giving glimpses of society，according to Wang Guoqing.The art form was listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010.Famous performers such as Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu have also taken Peking Opera abroad.And though foreign fans are impressed by it，few understand the stories told on stage.
To help foreigners understand the art form better，Sun Ping，dean，School of Art，Beijing Foreign Studies University，and her team have edited the new books.Different from previous English translations of books that mostly covered the scripts(剧本) of Peking Opera plays，the new series introduces nearly all aspects of the art form，including the script，actors and actresses，performance skills，musical instruments and costumes，according to Sun，who is herself a highly regarded Peking Opera artist.
“It fills the blank in overseas promotions of Peking Opera，” says Liu Jian，a professor at the National Academy of Chinese Theater Arts.“The inheritance and promotion of Peking Opera are very important.In a sense，promotion is even more important.The project sets a good example.”
Scott Ian Rainen，an expert from the United States，who works at China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration，says he was happy to read the new books.Foreigners often don’t understand the plot in a Peking Opera play，but the books introduce the cultural and historical background，its character modeling，costumes and props，artistic theories and so on，he says.
24．Why are the set of bilingual books released
A．To stress the importance of Peking Opera.
B．To attract foreigners to learn Peking Opera.
C．To promote the diversity of Peking Opera.
D．To present Peking Opera more effectively.
25．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．The brief introduction to Peking Opera.
B．The advantage of learning Peking Opera.
C．The benefits of releasing these bilingual books.
D．The reason for people’s attachment to Peking Opera.
26．What’s special about the translation series
A．They cover stories about Peking Opera.
B．They share a more significant art value.
C．They are better in covering the scripts of Peking Opera.
D．They are overall in showing the features of Peking Opera.
27．What is Scott Ian Rainen’s attitude towards the new project
A．Subjective. B．Sceptical.
C．Positive. D．Tolerant.
C
Like many people over the past few years，I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature.I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting.My consumption of new books has doubled as a result—but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel，both at the University of Chicago，and it draws from the “dual process model” of mental processing.According to this view，we have two ways of assessing information.System 1 is intuitive(直觉的)，relying on natural ability and feeling.It is quick，but likely exposed to misinformation.System 2 is analytical，involving the use of logic reasoning.It is mentally demanding.When it is engaged，we think our way through the material step by step.For decades，psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of these two systems a person is using.As one example，consider the following question：How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark(方舟)？If you answered two，you were probably only considering the core of the question，which is System 1 thinking.To get to the right answer—zero，you need to think more carefully about the wording，which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark，not Moses.That is the kind of analytical process.
Keysar and Geipel’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form—seeing vs hearing—of the information would make a difference.They found that it did：when answering these kinds of simple questions，participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud，rather than written.
A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical study.For this reason，I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than my ears.But I won’t stop listening to novels.I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.
28．What does the author think of listening to audiobooks
A．It is economical. B．It is demanding.
C．It is time-consuming. D．It is relaxing.
29．Which of the following best describes System 2
A．Fairly reliable. B．Fully automatic.
C．Question-centered. D．Emotion-involved.
30．Why is the Ark mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To present a fact.
B．To illustrate a view.
C．To introduce a topic.
D．To draw a conclusion.
31．What does the author intend to tell us
A．Listening to books comes at a price.
B．Reading non-fiction books works.
C．Critical thinking is a must in reading.
D．Ways of processing information differ.
D
Some people never read any books again and feel that since they already know the outcome，there is nothing to be gained by rereading.I have to dissent.
I am reminded of a professor in college，who always had us read our assignments twice.“The first time，read fast and for fun，” he said.“The second time，look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.” His suggestion works great for me.
When I have a new book，I read fast，eager to discover the resolution.Then if I like the book，I will read it again.Not right away，but a few months later，possibly on a rainy Sunday afternoon，I will grab the book and settle down to discover the small details.I will read more slowly the second time，appreciating the descriptions and looking forward to my favorite sections，enjoying the anticipation.Knowing those favorite passages are coming does not spoil anything.I’m looking forward to revisiting those treasured places in the book.Knowing they are coming heightens my enjoyment.
Rereading a book gives me a chance to appreciate the small things an author integrates into her story.A turn of a character’s head，a thought in the night，a sigh，these are the things that give insights into a book and the characters.I love dissecting(剖析) a story the second time around，looking for clues that give the tale a deep meaning.Reading is like revisiting a friend，familiar，yet always with something more inside.
What have I been reading lately？The Merlin Trilogy by Mary Stewart.These books rank among my all-time favorite rereads.Set in Britain in roughly the second half of the fifth century CE，they were Mary Stewart’s take on the familiar King Arthur stories.If you are unfamiliar with them，I highly recommend all three books，especially if you love fantasy and historical fiction.
32．What does the underlined word “dissent” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Understand. B．Disagree.
C．Complain. D．Discontinue.
33．According to the author’s professor，what should one do during the second reading
A．Look for assignment clues.
B．Pay attention to the finer details.
C．Stick to the most interesting sections.
D．Skip some parts to get to the end fast.
34．What does the author enjoy about rereading a book
A．Visiting the places mentioned in the book.
B．Discovering the resolution of the story quickly.
C．Finding out the lessons learned by the characters.
D．Appreciating the writer’s storytelling techniques.
35．What is The Merlin Trilogy
A．The author’s new products.
B．A series of science-fiction novels.
C．Books based on ancient British stories.
D．Mary Stewart’s successful paintings.

阅读下面短文，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。
It is a great challenge of descriptive writing：finding the balance between using enough details to bring your description to life，but not so much that your readers are fed up with it. 36
Remember，you’re writing a description，not taking a photograph. 37 If you were photographing a tree，you would still make choices—lighting，framing，focus—that would capture the essence of the tree，but not its exact image.
Trust your readers.Stephen King says in On Writing，“Description begins in the writer’s imagination，but should finish in the readers.” 38 If you offer an exactly right description—rather than a complete description—the readers’ completion of your description will be close enough to what you want them to “see” in the picture.
39 If you write this：“Wind stirred(吹动) the maple’s boughs，spurring leaves to wave like a million green hands greeting them to hurry to its shady embrace”，you have created a real description，and you don’t need to write that the tree is big.
Let actions take the place of description.This can be effective in describing emotions.Instead of “Sue felt sad as she stared at their wedding photo.”，try “Sue stared at their wedding photo until her stinging eyes could no longer focus.She turned the photo face down on her nightstand.” We now know，through her actions，that Sue is sad. 40 That is because we’re experiencing her physical reactions(stinging eyes) and actions(turned the photo face down) along with her.
A．Focus on readers’ emotions.
B．Readers can fill in the picture.
C．Describe facts instead of actions.
D．Embrace the use of metaphors and similes.
E．It is not necessary to document every detail.
F．Besides，we now feel more connected with her in that sadness.
G．Fortunately，there are techniques you can use to find that balance.

Some kids play sports.They run hundreds of laps，and tackle，kick，or swing.Some kids do makeover parties.They pool their fashion magazines and organize their own spa hair salons.And some kids are computer geeks.Their programming ability is a thing of wonder.
Me？I had the spelling bee(拼字比赛)．The bee was my World Series.And what happened during a Spelling Bee remained fresh in my memory.
I trained every day on my front steps after school，the dictionary pages rippling softly in the breeze.I formed a habit carrying around my buddies Longman，Webster，and Oxford.
As soon as I opened my eyes on Friday morning，I felt the hairs on my arm stand up.I glanced at my alarm clock—it was only 6：27.I usually woke up at 7：01，which meant I had an extra thirty-four minutes to study.Starting with the word “judgment” which I always spelt as “J-U-D-G-M-A-N-T”，I went over several words.
To calm my butterflies in my stomach，I reminded myself that I was one of the best spellers in my class.I was not ambitious enough to want to go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee or anything—I just wanted to win the bee at Meadowbrook Middle School，so that I could defeat my main enemy，Nathan Fortescue.
Nathan thought he was a better speller than I was，but he didn’t even study words.He just read tons of science and math books.Really，he wasn’t a speller at heart—he was a mathematician.Nathan and I had nothing in common except being good spellers，but since he was a good speller without even trying，it didn’t count.I bet if you gave Nathan a modern literature word like “denouement”，he’d be out on the first round.
The Spelling Bee wasn’t until after lunch，so all I did in the morning was stare at the clock and wondered how seconds could possibly pass by so slowly.I sneaked away from lunch early so I could get in a few extra minutes of study time.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As soon as I shut the classroom door behind me，I heard a voice._______________

M：Yes，I was born in Oakland，but was raised around grass valley，where I am living now.I came back to San Francisco for college in 1964，but dropped out a year later.
W： Why did you drop out of college
M： My mother died of cancer.If she hadn’t been ill，I probably would have stayed in school.But luckily，I got some on-the-job training later.
W：Let’s get back to Raphael.Your teacher.Tell me something about him.
M：When I first met him，I was in awe of him.Not only was he an incredible Jazz musician，but he knew the tradition and played all the instruments，too. In any musical tradition，some people will get locked into a narrow view of music，but he was open to everything.I think that went into me. It led to me getting into a Chinese music group called the flowing stream.

A series of books in Chinese and English covering eight classic works of Peking Opera were recently released，with the aim of revealing details about the art form in a direct way.
The bilingual(双语的) books are from the Translation Series of a Hundred Jingju Classics，a project originated in 2011，which is part of the effort by the central government to promote Chinese culture overseas.
Peking Opera，with its complex and colorful costumes and make-up，as well as the unique performance combining singing，dialogue，acting and acrobatics(杂技)，has become a symbol of traditional Chinese culture.Over the last 200 years，more than 1,000 Peking Opera shows have been produced telling the most classic historical stories in China，as well as giving glimpses of society，according to Wang Guoqing.The art form was listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010.Famous performers such as Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu have also taken Peking Opera abroad.And though foreign fans are impressed by it，few understand the stories told on stage.
To help foreigners understand the art form better，Sun Ping，dean，School of Art，Beijing Foreign Studies University，and her team have edited the new books.Different from previous English translations of books that mostly covered the scripts(剧本) of Peking Opera plays，the new series introduces nearly all aspects of the art form，including the script，actors and actresses，performance skills，musical instruments and costumes，according to Sun，who is herself a highly regarded Peking Opera artist.
“It fills the blank in overseas promotions of Peking Opera，” says Liu Jian，a professor at the National Academy of Chinese Theater Arts.“The inheritance and promotion of Peking Opera are very important.In a sense，promotion is even more important.The project sets a good example.”
Scott Ian Rainen，an expert from the United States，who works at China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration，says he was happy to read the new books.Foreigners often don’t understand the plot in a Peking Opera play，but the books introduce the cultural and historical background，its character modeling，costumes and props，artistic theories and so on，he says.

Like many people over the past few years，I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature.I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting.My consumption of new books has doubled as a result—but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel，both at the University of Chicago，and it draws from the “dual process model” of mental processing.According to this view，we have two ways of assessing information.System 1 is intuitive(直觉的)，relying on natural ability and feeling.It is quick，but likely exposed to misinformation.System 2 is analytical，involving the use of logic reasoning.It is mentally demanding.When it is engaged，we think our way through the material step by step.For decades，psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of these two systems a person is using.As one example，consider the following question：How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark(方舟)？If you answered two，you were probably only considering the core of the question，which is System 1 thinking.To get to the right answer—zero，you need to think more carefully about the wording，which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark，not Moses.That is the kind of analytical process.
Keysar and Geipel’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form—seeing vs hearing—of the information would make a difference.They found that it did：when answering these kinds of simple questions，participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud，rather than written.
A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical study.For this reason，I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than my ears.But I won’t stop listening to novels.I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.
语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。文章主要围绕作者使用有声书作为阅读方式的体验展开，并介绍了一项关于信息处理方式的研究。
28．What does the author think of listening to audiobooks
A．It is economical. B．It is demanding.

29．Which of the following best describes System 2
A．Fairly reliable. B．Fully automatic.
C．Question-centered. D．Emotion-involved.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“System 2 is analytical，involving the use of logic reasoning.It is mentally demanding.When it is engaged，we think our way through the material step by step.”可知，System 2涉及使用逻辑推理进行信息处理，通过一步一步地思考材料来得出结论。因此，System 2相对可靠得多。故选A。
30．Why is the Ark mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To present a fact.
B．To illustrate a view.
C．To introduce a topic.
D．To draw a conclusion.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知，作者提到一个观点，即我们有两种方式来处理信息，然后提出“摩西在方舟上带了多少种动物？”的问题，并解释两种信息处理方式如何导向不同回答。因此，方舟的提及是为了阐明上文的关于信息处理方式的观点。故选B。
31．What does the author intend to tell us
A．Listening to books comes at a price.
B．Reading non-fiction books works.
C．Critical thinking is a must in reading.

Some people never read any books again and feel that since they already know the outcome，there is nothing to be gained by rereading.I have to dissent.
I am reminded of a professor in college，who always had us read our assignments twice.“The first time，read fast and for fun，” he said.“The second time，look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.” His suggestion works great for me.
When I have a new book，I read fast，eager to discover the resolution.Then if I like the book，I will read it again.Not right away，but a few months later，possibly on a rainy Sunday afternoon，I will grab the book and settle down to discover the small details.I will read more slowly the second time，appreciating the descriptions and looking forward to my favorite sections，enjoying the anticipation.Knowing those favorite passages are coming does not spoil anything.I’m looking forward to revisiting those treasured places in the book.Knowing they are coming heightens my enjoyment.
Rereading a book gives me a chance to appreciate the small things an author integrates into her story.A turn of a character’s head，a thought in the night，a sigh，these are the things that give insights into a book and the characters.I love dissecting(剖析) a story the second time around，looking for clues that give the tale a deep meaning.Reading is like revisiting a friend，familiar，yet always with something more inside.
What have I been reading lately？The Merlin Trilogy by Mary Stewart.These books rank among my all-time favorite rereads.Set in Britain in roughly the second half of the fifth century CE，they were Mary Stewart’s take on the familiar King Arthur stories.If you are unfamiliar with them，I highly recommend all three books，especially if you love fantasy and historical fiction.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者喜欢重读书籍的原因。

C．Complain. D．Discontinue.
答案　B
解析　词义猜测题。有些人从不再读一本书，因为他们觉得既然已经知道了结果，再读也没有什么收获，而作者喜欢重读，所以不同意这一观点。故画线词意思是“不同意”。故选B。

A．Look for assignment clues.
B．Pay attention to the finer details.
C．Stick to the most interesting sections.

第二节　(共5小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文，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。
It is a great challenge of descriptive writing：finding the balance between using enough details to bring your description to life，but not so much that your readers are fed up with it. 36
Remember，you’re writing a description，not taking a photograph. 37 If you were photographing a tree，you would still make choices—lighting，framing，focus—that would capture the essence of the tree，but not its exact image.
Trust your readers.Stephen King says in On Writing，“Description begins in the writer’s imagination，but should finish in the readers.” 38 If you offer an exactly right description—rather than a complete description—the readers’ completion of your description will be close enough to what you want them to “see” in the picture.
39 If you write this：“Wind stirred(吹动) the maple’s boughs，spurring leaves to wave like a million green hands greeting them to hurry to its shady embrace”，you have created a real description，and you don’t need to write that the tree is big.
Let actions take the place of description.This can be effective in describing emotions.Instead of “Sue felt sad as she stared at their wedding photo.”，try “Sue stared at their wedding photo until her stinging eyes could no longer focus.She turned the photo face down on her nightstand.” We now know，through her actions，that Sue is sad. 40 That is because we’re experiencing her physical reactions(stinging eyes) and actions(turned the photo face down) along with her.
A．Focus on readers’ emotions.
B．Readers can fill in the picture.
C．Describe facts instead of actions.
D．Embrace the use of metaphors and similes.
E．It is not necessary to document every detail.
F．Besides，we now feel more connected with her in that sadness.
G．Fortunately，there are techniques you can use to find that balance.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章就怎样写好描述给了一些建议。
36．答案　G
解析　由上文“It is a great challenge of descriptive writing...”可知，找到细节描述和不显得繁冗之间的平衡是一个巨大的挑战，而G项“Fortunately，there are techniques you can use to find that balance.”提出可以用一些技巧来找到这种平衡，其中find that balance与上文对应，there are techniques有启下的作用。故选G项。
37．答案　E
解析　由上文“Remember，you’re writing a description，not taking a photograph.”和下文“If you were photographing a tree，you would still make choices...”可知，此空处应讲写作不应该把一个东西的所有细节都描述出来。E项“It is not necessary to document every detail.”符合语境，有承上作用。故选E项。
38．答案　B
解析　根据段首句“Trust your readers.”以及下文“the readers’ completion of your description will be close enough to what you want them to‘see’ in the picture”可知，这里讲读者可以让你的描述更加完整。B项“Readers can fill in the picture.”符合语境，其中fill in the picture与后文对应，有启下作用。故选B项。
39．答案　D
解析　空处位于段首，是段落主题句。由下文“If you write this：‘Wind stirred(吹动) the maple’s boughs，spurring leaves to wave like a million green hands greeting them to hurry to its shady embrace’，...”可知，本段主要讲应用比喻来描述，D项“Embrace the use of metaphors and similes.”符合语境，对下文有总括作用。故选D项。
40．答案　F
解析　由上文“...We now know，through her actions，that Sue is sad.”可知，动作描写可以传达悲伤之情，F项“Besides，we now feel more connected with her in that sadness.”符合语境，有承上作用，其中her代指上文中的Sue，that sadness呼应上文中的Sue is sad。故选F项。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Some kids play sports.They run hundreds of laps，and tackle，kick，or swing.Some kids do makeover parties.They pool their fashion magazines and organize their own spa hair salons.And some kids are computer geeks.Their programming ability is a thing of wonder.
Me？I had the spelling bee(拼字比赛)．The bee was my World Series.And what happened during a Spelling Bee remained fresh in my memory.
I trained every day on my front steps after school，the dictionary pages rippling softly in the breeze.I formed a habit carrying around my buddies Longman，Webster，and Oxford.
As soon as I opened my eyes on Friday morning，I felt the hairs on my arm stand up.I glanced at my alarm clock—it was only 6：27.I usually woke up at 7：01，which meant I had an extra thirty-four minutes to study.Starting with the word “judgment” which I always spelt as “J-U-D-G-M-A-N-T”，I went over several words.
To calm my butterflies in my stomach，I reminded myself that I was one of the best spellers in my class.I was not ambitious enough to want to go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee or anything—I just wanted to win the bee at Meadowbrook Middle School，so that I could defeat my main enemy，Nathan Fortescue.
Nathan thought he was a better speller than I was，but he didn’t even study words.He just read tons of science and math books.Really，he wasn’t a speller at heart—he was a mathematician.Nathan and I had nothing in common except being good spellers，but since he was a good speller without even trying，it didn’t count.I bet if you gave Nathan a modern literature word like “denouement”，he’d be out on the first round.
The Spelling Bee wasn’t until after lunch，so all I did in the morning was stare at the clock and wondered how seconds could possibly pass by so slowly.I sneaked away from lunch early so I could get in a few extra minutes of study time.

As soon as I shut the classroom door behind me，I heard a voice.“Hi，Olivia.You were looking a little pale in math class this morning.I’m glad the rose is back in your cheeks.I was afraid you might miss the spelling bee.” “Oh，wouldn’t you just love that？” “Not really.I enjoy a bit of competition.Is that the list of words you’re studying？Funny，I don’t think I have one of those.” I was so irritated that I couldn’t concentrate on reviewing my list，but it didn’t matter—I knew all the words by heart，anyway.Within three minutes，the rest of the class filled in，and it was noisier than a five-year-old’s birthday party.I finished taking a mental picture of “scalawag” just as Ms Hawking walked into the room.
“Now it’s time for the Spelling Bee！” Ms Hawking said brightly.“Is everybody ready？” “No！” the class groaned—everyone except Nathan and me，of course.My class was full of pretty bad spellers.After six times around the circle，there were only two kids left，Nathan and me.I cocked my head toward Nathan，beaming with the knowledge of my impending triumph.Nathan’s next word was “judgment”．“J-U-D-G-M-E-N-T.Judgment.” “That is correct！” Like a zombie.“Hey，” says Nathan.“Are you OK？” He smiled and stuck out his hand to shake mine.“Judgment，” I mumbled weakly.He shrugged，“Eoin Colfer is my favorite author，and the other day the word ‘judgment’ was in one of his books I’m reading.So I guess I just absorbed it.” “Eoin Colfer is my favorite author，too！I thought you hated reading books without numbers，” I laughed.Nathan smiled.OK，so maybe Nathan and I did have a few things in common.
