At first a place for musicals，the Lyceum soon began to host a lot of different events. Then there were more changes and the theatre was used as a music hall before once again becoming a theatre. And it was during this period，in 1934，that Queen Elizabeth saw her very first pantomime(童话剧) here!The London PalladiumFelix Knight would be surprised if you hadnt heard of this very famous theatre in the West End. In the 1950s，millions of viewers across Britain would watch Saturday Night at the Palladium，a weekly variety show(杂耍表演) televised live from the theatre. Nowadays，the theatre hosts musicals such as The Sound of Music，but it also hosts a number of important events such as the British film awards in 2020.The Globe Theatre“People are likely to overlook the Globe Theatre because its not in the West End，”says Jane Campbell. The theatre is a copy of the Elizabethan playhouse that was built in 1599 and where Shakespeares plays were written and performed. Every last inch of the rebuilt Globe is authentic(逼真的)，even the fact that it is an openair theatre.The Piccadilly TheatreFor Mariella Clark，this theatre is her number one choice. Opened in 1928，it may not be the oldest theatre in the West End，but it is one of the biggest and has certainly made its markduring its time as a cinema it actually showed the first talking movie ever！“Id always thought that theatres put on plays or musicals from day one，”Mariella says，“so I was quite surprised when I first began to realize that they often have quite interesting histories.”21According to David，the Lyceum Theatre_Ahas a very colourful past Bwas used to show moviesCwas the favourite of Queen Elizabeth Doffers shows as well as events on stage22Which theatre could be unpleasant on a rainy day?AThe London Palladium. BThe Piccadilly Theatre.CThe Lyceum Theatre. DThe Globe Theatre.23Who feels surprised at the history of his or her favourite theatre?AMariella. BDavid. CFelix. DJane.BWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well,its so-and-sos fault.”or “I know Im late，but its not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.24. According to the passage, winners .A. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesB. deal with problems rather than blame othersC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather that others25.The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. consider D. improve26.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winners Opportunity.B. A Winners Problem.C. A Winners Secret.D. A Winners Achievement.C“Reconstituted” families are more and more common in the UK.Steve and Debbie got married in 2001 and had two children，Lily and Alex. Unfortunately，Steve and Debbies marriage didnt work out and they got divorced in 2020.The children live with Debbie. In 2020，Debbie remarried. Her new husband，Martin，has three children from his previous marriage and they visit Debbie, Martin, Lily and Alex at weekends. In addition，Debbie is pregnant with her third child. Shes expecting a boy who will be a halfbrother to Lily and Alex and also to Martins three other children.Confused? Debbies family arrangements might have seemed strange 30 years ago but nowadays this kind of “reconstituted” family is increasingly common in the UK. Almost half of all marriages in Britain end in divorce and over 40% of marriages are remarriages. More than 10% of all British children live with one birth parent and a stepparenta parent who isnt their biological mother or father. The traditional “nuclear” family of two parents and their children is not so traditional any more.What does all of this mean for parents in these “reconstituted” families？“There are difficulties and challenges,” says Debbie. “Different families have different routines and it can be difficult for children to move between their two families. Birthdays and holidays can be tricky. Where do the children go？Who should they spend their time with？Also, when my children are naughty it can be difficult for Martin to tell them off. Things that might be simple in a traditional family can be a bit more complicated.”And how about the children？ Martins eldest child，Ella，is 12. “I like my two families,” she says. “I live with my mum but visit my dad quite often and Im happy that my mum and dad get along OK. Theyre not married any more but its good that they can still be friends.” Of course divorce and separation are never easy but many families in the UK are finding ways to make family life work in new ways.28Why did Steve and Debbie get separated?AThey couldnt support the children.BThey couldnt get along well.CThey were both out of work.DThey had serious economic problems.29We can learn from the text that a “nuclear” family _.Ahas two birth parents and their childrenBhas two birth parents and only one childCis traditional but complicatedDdoesnt have any children30What do the underlined words “tell them off” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?Amake them annoyed Bsend them to schoolClet out their secrets Dtalk angrily to them31Whats the text mainly about?AThe difference between “marriage” and “remarriage”BMore and more people get divorced in the UK.C“Reconstituted” families are becoming more and more in the UK.DThe marriage situation is becoming severe.DLast year Congress issued a moral call to action when it ordered the National Institutes of Health to reevaluate its ethical oversight (伦理上的疏忽) of government-funded primate (灵长类) research. Although the scientific community widely sees nonhuman primates as essential for advances in bio-medicine (they have caused major gains in the fights against AIDS and neurological（神经学的）diseases such as Parkinsons, for example), researchers agree more can be done to treat the animals more humanely and conduct research less wastefully. To that end, the NIH gathered famous scientists last September to discuss the future of primate-based researchand they agreed that data sharing is the way forward.Researchers could reduce experiments on nonhuman primates by studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions, says David OConnor, a pathologist（病理学家）at the University of WisconsinMadison. OConnor is walking the walk: his laboratory studies the Zika virus（寨卡病毒）in primates, and he immediately posts all the results online. The goal is to figure out ways to fight Zika as quickly as possible without placing an undue burden on research primates. The Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science, which uses rhesus macaques（恒河猴）, small South Asian monkeys, to study the molecular（分子的）basis of brain development, also makes all results public. OConnor says this practice should be more widespread so that “researchers who are using this scarce but vital resource can learn as much as possible from as few animals as necessary.” Still, he is skeptical（怀疑的）that data sharing will catch on because it would require a change in “normative behavior”sciences strong culture of secrecy, in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peer-reviewed journal. One step toward full transparency（透明度）is to follow the lead of human clinical trials（临床研究）, says Christine Grady, a bio-ethicist at the NIH. U.S. law requires most clinical trials to register online and make their results public, even if a study fails or is inconclusive. This ensures that other researchers can learn from a trial regardless of its resultsa move that could also safeguard primates against being used for the same thing twice. Nancy Haigwood, director of the Oregon National Primate Research Center, also says data sharing is “the way of the future.” Her center hosts 4,800 primates to study a variety of human diseases. She currently contributes results from her center to OConnors Web site. “I dont see a drawback,” she says. “We have to share data more quickly.”32. What does Congress think of the primate research?A. It has done a great deal of good to advances in bio-medicine.B. It is a huge waste of money to conduct research on primates.C. Primate-based research must be stopped for moral reasons.D. Proper attention should be given to treating primates humanely.33. The underlined phrase “walking the walk” in Paragraph 2 shows that OConnor _.A. is the leader in fighting Zika virus in primatesB. is walking away from his own responsibilityC. is carrying out what he has said he should doD. is taking a tough road when posting his data34. According to OConnor, what might prevent scientists from sharing their data?A. The deep-rooted culture that data should be kept secret until published.B. The fact that scientists are unwilling to change their way of research.C. The requirement that most clinical trials should be registered online.D. The fear that they will be laughed at if a study fails or is inconclusive.35. What could be the best title for the passage?A. The Merciless Practice of Primate ResearchB. To Treat Primates More Humanely: TransparencyC. To Abandon Experiments on Primates: Final GoalD. The Burden of Research on Nonhuman Primates第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选线中选出能填入空白处的最佳选线，选项中有两项为多余选项。（注意：请将3640题答案涂在答题卡7175位置。）Ireland now has one of the best education systems in the world. Class sizes are small, exam results are good and most children are happy to stay at school after the minimum(最小值) leaving age of sixteen. 36 .For years, Ireland had one of the most complicated(复杂的) education systems in the world. 37 Classes were large and the teaching was very traditional. As in many countries，teachers used to hit the children if they made mistakes. Fortunately, the punishment was not allowed in 1982.38 As a result, there were schools for the rich and schools for the poor. Boys and girls went to different schools. Nowadays, most schools are free and only about half the schools are either for girls or boys. 39 Girls do better than boys in their exams; more girls go to university and most teachers are women.At the end of secondary school, students take their final exams. Compulsory(必修的) subjects are maths, Irish and English. 40 Some of these, like business organization, help to prepare them for the world of work. This is very different from the past when Latin and Greek used to be the most important subjects.AParents used to pay for their childrens education.BIn many ways，education is now a womans world.CPublic schools in Ireland are not run by the government.DIn addition, they must choose two or three extra subjects.EIt is easy to forget that the picture used to be very different.FHere, children do not learn any subjects but some basic skills.GThere were many different kinds of schools, but most of them had a lot in common.第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was in the fifth grade when I first dipped my fingers into the endless ocean of expression and allowed my hands to grow a(n) 41 .I remember my hands being sweaty as I wandered 42 into her classroom.
