18、myself otherwise, I now feel sure that ballet is dying.”-Jennifer Homans, Apollos AngelsIs ballet dead? Has the art form evolved to depression? Jennifer Homanss conclusion to her fascinating history of ballet, Apollos Angels, is worrying.It appears that ballets pulse continues to beat strongly, howe

19、ver, especially with a Tchaikovsky defibrillator attached. So why are some dance commentators arguing that ballet is dying? And do they have a point?“Ballet is dead”-“Ballet is dying” -all ring tones of Friedrich Nietzsches philosophical claim: “God is dead.” Headline grabbling, certainly. Yet can b

20、allet be defined in such black and white terms? Surely it is more abstract, filled with shades of popular grey. To start with, how do you define ballet? What is ballet today? Consider popular modern classics like Twyla Tharps In the Upper Room, where dancers wear pointy shoes and sneakers, combining

21、 contemporary and classical vocabulary together. Or closer to home, there is Graeme Murphys Swan Lake, which layers elements of Petipas choreography(编舞) with a contemporary theme and aesthetic. Many contemporary choreographers all embrace classical form and principles, then manipulate(操纵) the rules.

22、 .The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague. In an interview with The Telegraph (2015), British choreographer Mattew Bourne acknowledges that this “cross-fertilisation” between contemporary dance and ballet continues to grow, as evidenced by the rise in new commissions from contemporar

23、y choreographers at the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet. Referring to Homanss book, Bourne believes what has changed is that “the dance forms are coming closer together”. Not dying, but merging. Reinventing. This has been the case amongst Australasian ballet companies for many years now. .H

24、omans writes that ballets decline began after the passing of Ashton and Balanchine. Something ahs changed, certainly. A stylisic transition-from neo-classical to contemporary ballet-has occurred. Our art forms evolution has always been with extinction. Prominent dance critic with The New York Times,

25、 Alastair Macaulay, says: “ballet has died again and again over the centuries,” and yet, “phoenix-like, rose again from its ashes”. History shows there were periods where ballet hibernated and lacked popularity. This coincided with the art forms changing forums.So here is the irony: what sells best,

26、 still, are reproductions of Petipas classics. A season without a Tchaikovsky score is a financial risk. And without Nutcracker(胡桃夹子), half the ballet companies in North America would not exist. Admittedly, as a dancer, my favourite roles-Albrecht, Prince Siegfried and Romeo-were from the classical

27、canon; I am a traditionalist at heart (who loves to be challenged by good contemporary ballets). A part of the charm behind classical repertoire, for me, was in reproducing the glories of past greats. Classical ballets framework supports the modern process of bench-marking.Perhaps Jennifer Homanss t

28、houghts are not completely unfounded. Perhaps ballet is dying for some. Ballets evolution has been delayed by its audiences. And as Homans suggests in her epilogue, perhaps also by its creatives.Now here is a bold prediction. In line with the Royal Ballets programming in Brisbane this year-of Christ

29、opher Wheeldons The Winters Tale, and Wayne MacGregors Woolf Works-over the next 20 years, ballets reliance on Petipa will decrease. Contemporary ballets and merge-styled ballets will produce their box-office influence ever more.Why?It is simple: our audiences will be ready for ballet to change agai

34、ned23（8分）Scientists from the University of East Anglia have identified four new man-made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone(臭氧) layer. Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers.Worries over the growing ozone hole have seen the productio

35、n of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases restricted since the mid 1980s. But the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery.Lying in the atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals

36、.Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge “hole” in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985. The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. Extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal w

37、ith CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. A total global ban on production came into force in 2010.Now, the newly discovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. Three of the gases are CFCs

38、and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), which can also damage ozone.The research has shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man-made. The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. Air from this snow is a natura

39、l archive of what was in the atmosphere up to 100 years ago. There searchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.They estimate that about 74,000 tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rat

40、es. However, they dont know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. Possible sources include chemicals for insecticide (杀虫剂)production and solvents (溶液) for cleaning electronic components. The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in :the atmosphereso even i

41、f emissions (散发)were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come.Of the four species identified, CFC-113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. We should find it and take it out of pro

42、duction.1、What do we know about the newly discovered gases?ASome are surely produced by the development of agriculture.BThe CFCs will have a long impact once they are released.CThey gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed.DTheir amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.2、The un

43、derlined word “archive” in Paragraph 6 is closest to the meaning of “ ”.AstateBresourceCphenomenonDstoreroom3、What will the scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next?AFind out what can replace things like insecticides and put them into use.BFind out how they destroy ozone and get rid of

44、 those in the atmosphere.CFind out where they are exactly from and stop them from being released.DFind out if HCFC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.24（8分）Music has always been associated with exercising. Most of us listen to our favorite music while jogging in the park or while wor

45、king out in the gym, but we never think of it as more than just an accompaniment to our exercisc routine. But recent scientific research has thrown light on the fact that using the “right” music while exercising can do you a whole lot of good: from creating a feeling of positivity to calming any anx

46、ious feelings.Research on the effects of music during exercise has been done for years. In 1911，an American researcher, Leonard Ayres, found that cyclists pedaled faster while listening to music than they did in silence.This happens because listening to music can drown out our brains cries of fatigu

47、e. As our body realizes were tired and wants to stop exercising, it sends signals to the brain to stop for a break. Listening to music competes for our brains attention, and can help us to overcome those signals of fatigue, though this is mostly beneficial for low-and moderate-intensity exercise. Du

48、ring high-intensity exercise, music isnt as powerful as pulling our brains attention away from the pain of the workout.Not only can we manage to exercise longer and harder when we listen to music, but it can actually help us to use our energy more efficiently. A 2015 study showed that cyclists who l

49、istened to music required 7% less oxygen to do the same work as those who cycled in silence. So in the same way that exercising makes us happier, its not surprising that music adds significantly to our work-out success.What have you noticed about how music affects you? Next time when you take exerci

50、se, select the right music to accompany you. You will find yourself in a more different mood than ever.1、Why do some people listen to music while exercising?AThey attach importance to enjoying music.BThey know music helps do exercise.CThey find music is an interesting accompaniment.DThey dont give t

51、oo much consideration to it.2、How will you do when you want to stop exercising?ATo try to listen to the music you like.BTo stop for a rest immediately.CTo tell yourself never to do like that.DTo send a signal to your brain.3、It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that .Alistening to music can

52、help produce more energyBthe cyclists love listening to music more than othersCpeople should take listening to music seriously while exercisingDsignificant music can benefit high-intensity exercise25（10分）If you feel yourself turning into an old grouch(脾气坏的人), dont worry happiness is just around the

53、bend. A survey has found that although happiness dips in those in their 30s and 40s, people start to feel more content with life after the age of 50.However an economist found that older people will never again regain the excitement of youth. Rather it is thought that with age, individuals become mo

54、re pragmatic about the ups and downs that life brings and accept their fortune.He questioned those in Britain, Switzerland and Germany and applied the findings to peoples life cycle.Mr. Van Landeghem, 29, said:“A happiness curve does not necessarily imply that a 65-year-old prefers his own life to t

55、he life of a 25-year-old.”“Both the 25-year-old and 65-year-old might agree that it is nicer to be 25 than to be 65. But te 65-year-old might nevertheless be more satisfied, as he has learned to be satisfied with what he has.”It was suggested the mid-life happiness dip is because this is when people

56、 have the most responsibilities taking care of a family, paying a mortgage (抵押贷款) and having a demanding career. The middle-aged dip in happiness was also compared to that of losing a close relative or suddenly becoming unemployed.The study is just one of many put forward as an indicator of what mak

57、es for a happy life.Psychologists concluded that having money makes you happier, but only if you have a lot more than your friends and neighbors. At the same time, youd better have enough tie to enjoy yourself instead of spending all your time on making money.Separate research found that owning the

58、house of your dreams, the car you always longed for and having millions in the bank doesnt stop that desire to keep up with the Joneses (攀比). And if the Joneses have more than you do, youll be miserable. It seems envy at being lower in the social pecking order (权势等级) reduces the satisfaction of bein

59、g well off.If you just do what you love and you are good at, which society also values much, you may have a higher probability to be happy. But if your job pays less, how can you stick to it in disregard of responsibilities? Happiness means different things from different points of view, and point o

60、f view grows from ones experience and knowledge. Perhaps it comes with you when you dont need to think about adult problems or when you are wise enough to understand what satisfaction is.1、The underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 2 may mean _.Arealistic Bconcerned Cnervous Dcareful2、According to
