its almost impossible. but for the tap dancers in christmas dancing shoes, its no problem. the show, by the chicago human rhythm project, is one of the best in the world. it ran from december 21-23 in beijing. in the two hour-long show, the dancer showed off four different styles of tap dancing in a variety of settings. there was dancing in the classroom with desks and chairs, dancing on railway station platforms (站台), even mom and dad dancing in the living room! as with other kinds of dance, theres a right way and wrong way to do it. but each dancer adds his or her own personal ideas on things. its this that makes it so attractive to young people. dancing is so relaxing, says dancer doerr mary, 15, a high school girl from texas. you can move around just as you like. every other week she flies to north carolina just to train. ive been tap dancing since i was two and a half years old, she says. ive found i just cant stop dancing. even when im sitting down, im tapping. my mom sometimes gets angry, she laughs. mary says she finds tap dancing is a good way of expressing herself. its like, she says, talking to my feet. mary says tap dancing has changed her life. she used to be shy, but not any more. knowing that i can dance in front of such a large group of people is a real confidence-booster (信心增强剂).25. the tap dancers in christmas dancing shoes can tap their feet _. a. three times a second b. 600 times in a second c. ten times a second d. not mentioned26. according to the writer, the dancers danced _ in beijing. a. different styles of dancing b. in four kinds of settingsc. in just three situations d. four kinds of the dance27. which of the following sentences is true? a. dancers have to dance entirely under the rules. b. dancers can show their own personality in a certain way. c. dancers can dance completely freely as they please. d. dancers can dance the tap dance with no training.28. tap dance makes doerr mary _. a. two and a half years old b. get angry easily c. a girl of self-confidence d. nothing differentc for many young people, adulthood means being ordinary and struggling under a lot of responsibilities. “being an adult is no fun,” says katrina, an 18-year-old girl from munich who refused to give her full name. “as an adult youre no longer funnyyoure a serious person. adults stop going to parties every weekend. they wear normal clothes and have to think a lot.”generally speaking, an adult is seen largely as someone able and ready to take over responsibility for his or her life. an adult should also be able to form relationships and to get on well in groups. money independence is important too: being an adult means being able to run a household and earn a living. the law states quite simply that at 18 a person becomes an adult, but that may have little to do with the persons own belief. us author, robert w. bly, commented about the same problem in his 1997 book, the sibling society: “adults return to adolescence; and adolescents have no desire to become adults.” he is concerned about the loss of appropriate adult role models and the broken lines of communication between the generations. this results in immature behaviour and a generation of “half adults”. another decisive factor in the growing-up process is the act of leaving the parental home. “mothers especially find it difficult to let go of their children,” says bly. “young people with a close relationship to their mothers often feel themselves unable, even at the age of 20, to make it alone.”舒中高一期中英语 第5页 (共10页) another possible cause for anxiety at getting older is the youth culture in our society. youthfulness is associated with performance, and only those who perform are worth anything. the repetition in the press and advertising contributes to this idea. “if you are young, attractive and dynamic, youll make it in this society.” no wonder that getting older causes anxiety.29it can be inferred from blys words that _. aadults usually go back to their youth. bwithout proper adult role models, youll behave immaturely cyou can succeed if you are young and attractive. dyoung people always have a close relationship.30it can be concluded from the last paragraph that _. athe youth culture plays a part in the worry of the young about getting older. bthe mass media greatly value the young people. cto be young, youll have to show good performance. dleaving the parental home is necessary for you to grow up.31which of the following would be the best title for the passage? _.aadvantages of young people bdisadvantages of being adultscanxieties of young people dyouths fear adulthooddwhen you meet people for the first time its always nice to make eye contact and smile. its a simple courtesy and leads to a relaxed conversation. if you tend to be a shy person, this may be somewhat difficult for you. you may tend to look down or away when greeting someone. this can break the conversation right away. in his book, how to connect in business in 90 seconds or less, nicholas boothman offers a really simple solution to the problem. when you meet or greet someone for the first time, just make a mental note of their eye color. this simple technique is amazingly effective. if you are looking for their eye color youll make eye contact for a second or two. i have found this works well one by one and is also effective in small groups. it really helps build rapport（密切关系）when giving a speech or presentation as it lets the audience member know that you are paying attention to them. i speak quite often to groups of 10 20 people in toastmasters. when i use this technique to make eye contact as i scan the room, i pause just long enough to build rapport with each audience member.when you first try this you may find yourself saying blue, green, brown, etc in your mind, but youll find it soon becomes natural and is an easy habit to develop. its a simple exercise but youll notice the difference right away.try it in you舒中高一期中英语 第6页 (共10页)r next small group speech or presentation. instead of an impersonal gaze over the room, if you make eye contact, youll find that youll build almost instant rapport with your audience. they will pay better attention to what you are saying and it may keep them awake.32. what is the best title for the passage? a. how to connect in business b. smile and eye. c. look me in the eye. d. how to give a speech.33. the underlined word “courtesy” in the first paragraph probably means _. a. polite behaviorb. bad behavior c. means d. way 34. the underlined word “it” in the fifth paragraph refers to _. a. speech b. keeping awake c. rapport d. looking for eye color 35. if you make eye contact, you will find _. a. your audience will pay little attention to what you said b. your audience will build instant rapport with you c. your audience will be awake and active d. your audience will admire you for your courage第二节 (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。if youve ever wondered how dancers would tell the story of a man and a womans love for each other through dance moves, you should watch people dance the rumba. _36_ and it is considered the most passionate （富有激情的）ballroom dance.like many latin dances, the rumba has its roots in africa. when the spanish first moved to the new world, they brought african slaves（奴隶）to work for them. _37_ when they were finished with a hard days work, they would sometimes find the person they were in love with and dance the rumba. _38_ they wanted to dance the rumba in public!the dance slowly spread and grew in popularity. then, in the 1930s, the famous dance teacher monsieur pierre saw the rumba being danced in new york and he decided it was so exciting and interesting it should be danced in london, too. _39_today there are several types of rumba people dance. some dance a type of rumba that is very fast and features big movements. _40_ no matter what type of rumba people dance, the story the dance tells is still the same：the love between a man and a woman.a. from there, the rumba spread across the world.b. this popular dance is from the island nation of cuba.c. others dance a slow type of rumba and use small steps.舒中高一期中英语 第7页 (共10页)d. when slave masters saw this dance, they were impressed.e. slaves worked long hours and had very few ways to relax.f. when the rumba was first danced, it referred to a dance party.g. this dance became a formal dance done in public with a partner.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文短文，掌握其大意，然后从41-60各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该涂黑。last night, 1,500 young people went to the bournemouth centre to see elastica, a pop rock group with a 41 number of fans. all the tickets were 42 and there was not an empty seat 43 . elastica started at ten oclock. 44 it started so late, it was worth 45 . elastica played short, 3-minute songs and there were 46 long guitar solos. justine, lead singer and 47 guitarist in the group, proved that she is a 48 performer. the sound quality in the hall was poor 49 the audience could still hear her strong 50 . although they are a traditional pop group, its nice 51 the three girl guitarists at the front of the stage.52 the start, the fans were jumping up and down 53 the rhythm and they did not stop until the 54 end. the audience loved the final song, “connection”, an excellent song from 55 first album.everyone left the hall 56 excited. although it was very cold in bournemouth, a small crowd of fans 57 outside. the group happily signed autographs 58 they got on to their tour bus and left 59 bristol. “we 60 be back,” said justine.41. a. grown b. growing c. fallen d. falling42. a. sold out b. sold off c. sold up d. sold on43. a. somewhere b. everywherec. anywhere d. nowhere44. a. no matter b. however c. as d. although45. a. it b. them c. this d. that46. a. not b. no c. never d. little47. a. a b. an c. the d. /48. a. real b. really c. true d. truly49. a. though b. still c. howeverd. but50. a. sound b. voice c. noise d. pronunciation51. a. see b. to see c. seeing d. being seen52. a. for b. to c. from d. at53. a. to b. with c. at d. by舒中高一期中英语 第8页 (共10页)54. a. very b. only c. just d. extremely55. a. her b. their c. them d. theirs56. a. felt b. to feel c. feeling d. feel57. a. was waiting b. were waiting c. is waiting d. are waiting58. a. after b. before c. when d. while59. a. to b. from c. for d. at60. a. can b. are able to c. will d. would第二节：语法填空 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不超过3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。my house is quite a large detached house 61 in the middle of a wood and it has a large garden. the house is very modern and is specially designed 62 save energy and to be ecological(生态的).my house would be white with trees 63 it, grass growing without a fence. on the ground floor there is a big hall in the middle of the house. around the hall there 64 the kitchen, the sitting room and the dinning room. the most important room in the house is the sitting room 65 there are lots of bookshelves and some very large, comfortable sofas. on the roof there are solar panels 66 produce electricity. the house
