11、a theatre-in-education team working there. This team, made up of actors and teachers, writes plays for children, usually performing them in schools. They do different plays for different age groups and the children often take part in the play in some way. Pantomime is a special kind of Christmas sho
12、w for children. It is loved by people and also allows the audience（观众）to join in. “Pantomime” was the name of the Roman actor who performed shows without speaking-this is where the English word “mime” comes from. A Pantomime is always based on a well-known childrens story. But there are always certa
13、in types of characters in the show and certain situations and events. For example, a Pantomime must always include a hero, known as the “principle boy” and this principle boy is always played by a pretty girl wearing a short costume. Then there is the comic older woman, known as the “dame” who is pl
14、ayed by a man. There is always a group of men and women who sing and dance and often there is a Pantomime horse. The horse is played by two men who form the “front” and “back” ends inside a “horse” costume. It is funny and it usually kicks the dame when she isnt looking. Members of the audience have
15、 to shout a warning to one of the characters and argue with the character (usually the dame) when she does not believe them. When she shouts, “Oh no, it isnt,” the audience always responds with “Oh yes, it is!” The audience also learns and sings a simple song and a few children are sometimes invited
16、 to help one of the characters during the show.21. The theatre-in-education teams_.

17、ducational B. is made up of three characters C. is especially popular with grown-ups D. can be watched all year round in Britain23. When the dame says, “Yes, it is”, the audience should _. A. follow her and sing B. stand up and dance C. repeat what she says D. disagree with her loudlyB “One thing I
18、enjoy about my job is that I can work on something that is actually active,” says Game McGimsey, an American volcanologist(火山学家). Part of his job includes keeping an eye on Alaskas many active volcanoes and giving people a heads-up when a volcano might erupt(喷发). Like most jobs in the science, volca
19、nology requires a lot of education. McGimsey received an undergraduate degree in geology at the University of North Carolina, then landed an internship（实习期）with a geologist at the USGS(美国地质勘探局) whose work field was about volcanoes. After earning a graduate degree at the University of Colorado, McGim
20、sey accepted a job with the USGS and has been with the Alaska Volcano Observatory for 25 years. Volcanoes can influence the world in ways we might not think about. For example, on Dec.15 1989, a 747 jetliner(a large airplane) flew through a thick ash cloud produced by Mount Redoubt, an Alaskan volca
21、no that hadnt erupted in 25 years. The ash caused all four engines to die, and the planes electronics went dead. “The plane was within several thousand feet of flying into the mountains below when the pilots got a couple of engines restarted and landed safely in Anchorage,” McGimsey says. It cost ne
22、arly $80 million to repair the damage to the plane. Such situations show just how dangerous volcanoes can be. However, volcanologists know the risks and are prepared to protect themselves. McGimsey admits, “There is certainly a higher danger level in volcanology than some other jobs. We understand h
23、ow serious the danger is, and we dont like taking unnecessary chances. We avoid getting too close to an erupting volcano, because it is not worth injury or death simply to get a rock or a photograph.”24. Before working for the USGS, McGimsey _. A. had been a pilot for 25 years B. knew nothing about
24、the organization C. had taught at the University of North Colorado D. had studied at the University of Colorado25. On Dec. 15, 1989, a 747 jetliner_.

26、rldwide is due to passive smoking, which kills about 600,000 people a year, World Health Organization (WHO) researchers said on Friday. In the first study to assess the global impact of second-hand smoke, WHO experts found that children are more heavily exposed to second-hand smoke than any other ag
27、e-group, and around 165,000 of them a year die because of it. Two-thirds of these deaths occur in Africa and south Asia, the researchers, led by Annette Pruss-Ustun of the WHO in Geneva, wrote in their study. Childrens exposure to second-hand smoke is most likely to happen at home, and the double ef
28、fect of infectious diseases (传染性疾病) and tobacco seems to be a deadly causes for children in these regions, they said. While deaths due to passive smoking in children were more likely to happen in poor and middle-income countries, deaths in adults were spread across countries at all income levels. In
29、 Europes high-income countries, only 71 child deaths occurred, while 35,388 deaths were in adults. Yet in the countries assessed in Africa, about 43,375 deaths due to passive smoking were in children compared with 9,514 in adults. Pruss-Ustun urged countries to enforce the WHOs Framework Convention
30、on Tobacco Control, which includes higher tobacco taxes (税收), and advertising bans, among other steps.Policy-makers should bear in mind that enforcing complete smoke-free laws will probably reduce the number of deaths due to exposure to second-hand smoke within the first year of its implementation（执
31、行）, with accompanying reduction in costs of illness in social and health systems, she wrote. Only 7.4 percent of the world population currently lives in areas with comprehensive smoke-free laws, and those laws are not always strongly enforced.In places where there are smoke-free rules, research show
32、s that exposure to second hand smoke in high-risk places like bars and restaurants can be cut by 90 percent, and in general by 60 percent, the researchers said. Studies also show such laws help to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked by smokers and lead to higher success rates in those trying to q
33、uit.28. Where do children most likely suffer the exposure to second-hand smoke? A.In their schools. B.In their homes. C.In bars and restaurants. D.In disease-infected areas.29. Apart from passive smoking, what is also responsible for the high death rate of African and South Asian children? A.Long-te
34、rm starvation B.Active smoking C.Poor parental care D.Infectious diseases30. According to the passage, death in children due to passive smoking _. A.is partly attributable to their active use of tobacco. B.is similar in countries at all income levels C.is controlled in some South Asian countries D.i
35、s low in high-income countries.31. In the last few paragraphs, the author implies that smoke-free laws _. A. have worked reasonably well so far. B.leave much to be expected. C. should be enforced strongly D.should be made carefully.D Like many people, Ive always seen the Olympics as the “main” sport
36、ing event held every four years the headline act and the Paralympics(残奥会) as something of an “add-on” the supporting act. If you are not disabled it is hard to understand some of the games and the athletes movement problems. But being in the host city for these Paralympics changed my views. I came t
37、o realize these athletes were nothing short of superheroes. Lacking physical abilities that able-bodied people take for granted, they made up for them and then some. They tested their physical ability to extremes that the Bolts and Phelpses of this world never have to. If some Olympics runners had t
38、o be double-amputated (双侧截肢) , I wonder if they would tie two carbon fiber blades (碳纤维刀片) to their knees like Oscar Pistorius, also known as Blade Runner, of South Africa, and relearn everything that once came naturally. If some Olympic swimming heroes suddenly went blind, would they have the courag
39、e to still swim fast through the water, not knowing when they would reach the end of the pool? Would any of us be brave to face a life-changing experience like a car crash? And not only get our lives back on track but then try to be the best at a sport? “What Paralympic sport would you do if you wer
40、e disabled? ” was a question I posed today. Its not something you would normally think about. You dont watch TV as a kid dreaming to be a Paralympician. But it takes more than early mornings, training programs and special diets to get to the Paralympics. It takes a tragedy or loss that will have bee
41、n worked through and overcome. Skiing is terrifying enough if you have all your faculties. Standing at the top of a ski slope, its a war of wills for most people to start, but Canadas Donovan Tildesley, who has been blind from birth, revealed to a China Daily reporter that not only did he already sk
42、i, but he also wanted to take it up competitively. Superheroes indeed, each and every one. The Paralympics should be renamed the “Superlympics”. Its nothing to do with the equality denoted by the Greek “para”, its about “super” ability, courage and strength that most of us, the top able-bodied athle
43、tes of the world included, will never have to . Its worth remembering that many Paralympics suffered horrific injuries while living life to the full. You dont get paralyzed (瘫痪的 ) sitting at home playing video games. And having lived life to the full they are not prepared to stop. Thats we talked ab
44、out “Paralympic spirit” I only hope that if life dealt me or my loved one, we would handle them in the same way as these outstanding men and women.32. What does the author think of Paralympics athletes?A.They are more than heroes. B.They are unsung heroes.C.They are second only to superheroes. D.The
45、y are able-bodied superheroes.33. By saying “ and then some”(para.2), the author means that _.A.Paralympic athletes made up for some physical abilitiesB.Not all Paralympic athletes were able to make up for physical abilitiesC.There are some abilities that diabled athletes cannot make up for.D.There
46、are some other abilities besides what has been made up for.34. What does the author imply in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A.Some Olympic stars will turn into Paralympic competitors when disabled.B.Olympic stars career will come to a natural end when they are disabledC.It should be braver to be Paralympic athletes than Olympic athletes.D.It is anybodys guess whether Olympic stars will try to be the best at sports.35. According to the author, what
