The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama developed gradually from ceremonies. The argument for this view goes as follows.In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these unknown powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then kept and repeated until they hardened into fixed ceremonies. Eventually stories arose which explained the mysteries of the ceremonies. As time passed, some of them were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths (神话), provided materials for art and dramaThose who believe that drama came out of ceremonies also argue that those ceremonies contained the seed of theater because music, dance, and masks were almost always used. In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the rules of ceremonies, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks, they often impersonated (扮演) other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and performed the desired effect by gestures - success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival (复活) of the Sun - as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.Another theory finds out the theater came from the human Interest in storytelling. According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other events) are gradually formed, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a speaker and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person A closely related theory about drama traces to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations (模仿) of animal movements and sounds.60. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A. Three theories about how drama came into being are mentioned.B. The majority of people believe drama came from ceremonies.C. Stories were made up to explain the mysteries of the ceremonies.D. Religious activities developed gradually from ceremonies.61. We can infer from the passage that _.A. all measures couldnt bring the desired resultsB. religious leaders usually didnt perform in the ceremoniesC. mistakes are unavoidable in the religious ceremoniesD. performers usually used languages to reach the desired results62. The underlined part traces to in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. dates back to B. is devoted to C. gives way to D. is familiar to63. The best title for the text would be _.A. The Development of Drama B. The History of DramaC. The Origin of Drama D. The Popularity of DramaCSome plants get so hungry they eat flies, and even small frogs. Whats more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state. In fact, theyre found on every continent except Antarctica.Youve probably seen a Venus flytrap - a small plant, which grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container. At the end of its stalks (茎) are leaves that act like traps (陷阱). Inside each trap is a lining of tiny hairs. When an insect lands on them, the traps suddenly shut. Over the course of a week or so, the plant feeds on its catch.The Venus flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants, says Barry Meyers-Rice, the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Societys Newsletter. He states although you might have read some science-fiction stories, no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.Barry says a plant is meat-eating, only if it does all four of the following: attract, kill, digest, and absorb some form of insects. Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants - well, most of the time.All green plants make sugar to produce food. What makes meat-eating plants different is their special leaves, which need insects for one reason: nitrogen (氮). Nitrogen is a nutrient that they cant obtain any other way. Why?Almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil. Meat-eating plants cant. They live in places where nutrients are hard to get from the soil because of its acidity. So theyve come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact, nutrient-rich soft is poisonous to meat-eating plants. Never fertilize (施肥) them! But dont worry, either, if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive, but theyll grow very slowly.64. According to the passage, a Venus flytrap _.A. is a small plant which grows in a containerB. is a kind of plant which gets hungry easilyC. can trap and feed on some form of insectsD. can only grow 6-8 inches tall65. From the passage, we can infer that _.A. meat-eating plants are found nowhere else except AntarcticaB. all green plants get nitrogen from the soilC. meat-eating plants endanger humans in science-fiction storiesD. the nutrient-poor soil is beneficial to meat-eating plants66. Meat-eating plants grow very slowly, _.A. so youd better fertilize themB. probably because the supply of nitrogen is cut offC. simply because they cant absorb nitrogen from the soilD. and then they will die slowly67. Which of the following is true?A. Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants.B. Its hard to get nutrients in the soil when acidity is high.C. The Venus flytrap eats flies to get nutrient from them.D. Green plants make sugar at night.DCleveland has won the distinction of being the worst city in the United States, according to a new survey.
