There are some things you just dont do via e-mail.E. But cards play even more of a special role at Christmas.F. However, there is something missing from a Christmas e-mail.G. I would post on someones micro blog to say “happy birthday”.Something landed in my e-mail inbox this year that filled me with horror. It wasnt a virus. _1_ The friend who had sent it had written “Merry Christmas, everyone!” at the bottom.I love the Internet. _2_ I would send an e-mail congratulating someone on his or her new job. But Christmas e-cards? No way._3_ I would always handwrite letters to say “thank you” to someone for having me stay at their house, for example, or to express my sadness if someone had died. Sitting down with a pile of at least 50 Christmas cards every year is part of that whole “Christmas spirit” tradition. It shows you can be bothered to actually put pen to paper, buy a stamp, and post a letter._4_ At home, my family has special card display frames for our Christmas cards, and we hang red and green ribbon across the tops of doors and drape (悬挂) cards over them. Along with the tree, the candles and the tinsel (闪亮小装饰品), cards become Christmas decorations.At the end of the holiday, my grandma and I sit together and cut away the pictures from the front of the cards to use as labels for presents next year.Most importantly, theres the fun of remembering the people youre writing to. _5_ With each “Dear so-and-so” that I write, I remember the good times I spent with that person. More often than not, Ill let them know what Ive been doing this year, before ending with: “We really must meet up some time.” Would this happen if I just selected their e-mail from my contacts list?Keys: CGDEA根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。A. The origins of acting are in the act of remembering.B. Drama in Greece began with festivals honoring Dionysus.C. It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting.D. Historical records indicate that this desire is as old as civilization itself. E. Acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to fame and riches.F. Broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent.G. Consequently, they had little opportunity to demonstrate their individual personalities.If you have ever been in a school play or even made believe you were a doctor, detective, or a space traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings. Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone-or something-else. _1_ In the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. As far back as 2200 B.C. trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals. _2_ To the dance was gradually added pantomime-the imitation of movements and gestures-as well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue. While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in Greece. From about 500 B.C. on, acting became a highly specialized art in Greece. Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom. _3_ Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. The names, faces, and styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide. _4_ A special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular before television. In radio drama the actors face an unique challenge. They are unseen by their audience. So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners. _5_ Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year. Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. They must not be easily discouraged. Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself.KEYS: 1-5: DCGFE 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。A. But it wont last.B. More people are moving into big cities.C. Earthquakes dont kill people, buildings do.D. There have been more deaths overt the past decade from earthquakes.E. Many people began to wonder if something terrible is happening underground.F. While it seems as if the are more earthquakes occurring, there really arent.G. But developing nations with growing populations dont pay attention to earthquake preparedness.A 7.0 magnitude earthquake killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Then an 8.8 magnitude quake killed more than 900 people in Chile. And few weeks later, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.The earthquakes kept coming hard and fast. _1_ Its not. The problem is whats happening above ground, not underground, experts say._2_ Theyre rapidly putting up buildings that cant stand up to earth quakes, scientists believe.And news reports and better earthquake monitoring make it seem as if earth quakes are increasing all the time.On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9.So far this year there have been 40 earthquakes more than in most years for that time period. But thats because the 8.8 quake in Chile caused a large number of strong aftershocks.Also, its not the number of quakes, but their destructive effects that gain attention. The death is largely due to building standards. _3_ Paul Earle, a US seismologist, called for better building standards in the worlds big cities.Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than I million, more than half are likely to be hit by earthquakes. _4_ “If you have a problem feeding yourself, youre not really going to worry about earthquakes,” said Paul.The earthquakes made everyone start to think _5_ “People are paying attention to the violent planet were always living on. Come back an another six months if there has been no earthquakes, most people will have forgotten it again,” said US disaster researcher Dennis Mileti. 题1:E小题2:B小题3:C小题4:G小题5:A根据短文内容选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。A.
