In a magazineBMartha Graham, born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.Earlier in her life, however, Martha did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Marthas parents didnt approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. Until 1916, she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.In 1936, Graham made her defining work, Chronicle, which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. Once again, she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didnt give up. Her last completed ballet was 1990s Maple Leaf Rag. A Dancers World is an introduction to Graham and her work. She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods.Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in nineteen seventy six. She was the first dancer to receive the countrys highest civilian honor. She died in 1991 at the age of ninety-six. In 1998, Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.4.Some famous artists mentioned in Paragraph 1 show Martha Graham _.A. was influenced greatly by them B. kept in touch with them regularlyC had a great effect on modern dance D. liked to make more friends with them.5. Why didnt Martha parents approve of her desire to dance at first?A. She was too old to learn American dance. B. American dance was seen as a lower art form.C. There was no academic school to teach dancing. D. Her family was too poor to afford her tuition.6. When Martha Graham continued to dance in her 70s, she _.A. was warmly welcomed by the youth. B. achieved huge success once again.C. received many awards for her age D. was attacked by people.7. The passage is mainly about _.A. the background of modern dance in AmericaB. the development of modern dance in AmericaC. Martha Graham and her achievements in danceD. the awards Martha Graham won in her life.C The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyle and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. As we know, we sit while were eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work. New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.However, Mr Katzmarzyk says that doesnt mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often. “We cant throw away physical activity. Its extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that.”Mr Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality(死亡率）or television viewing and mortality are very rare. Theres only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years. They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one point four years to life.Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk”. A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some US schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. Thats one of the strategies that many companies are using now.Mr Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.8.The underlined word “ubiquitous” is closest in meaning to “_”.A. dangerous B. awkward C. comfortable D. common9. Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr Katzmarzyk?A. Sitting too long may help increase ones life. B. Exercise is important and dont sit too long.C. Watching TV is bad, but can broaden ones horizons.D. Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.10.What does Mr Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 4?A. Its a relatively new area of study. B. Its a hot subject studied by experts.C. Its a study that begins too late D. Its not ignored by many experts.11.Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?A. To give them more comfort. B. To improve their work efficiency.C. To offer them the chance to exercise. D. To seek pleasure while working.D Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet it seemed to me, something important was missing, else-there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased(停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with men. What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eyes while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.” To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections(memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St.Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight , I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.12. Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?A. Wealth results from honest effort.B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.C. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.D. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.13.The underlined sentence “ In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means _.A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face. B. No pains, no gains.C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Bread comes from the sweat on your face.14.We learn from the passage that the author _.A. was a wealthy person in the community.B. held a positive attitude towards an active life.C. was fond of associating with celebrities(名人).D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed.15.What is implied in the passage by the author?A. To use wealth properly, eat drink and be merry.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. As life is like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree. D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live第2节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(注意，填涂答题卡时E填涂AB; F填涂CD; G填涂AC.)
