11、 fresh tomatoes.If youve ever worked a drive-thru job,you know its hard not to look into someones car when youre inches from his or her face.As I handed her the ice cream,I said,“Those tomatoes look delicious!What kind are they?”She replied with a big smile,“Here,have some!”Within seconds I had a ha

26、-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, however, especially with a Tchaikovsky defibrillator attache

27、d. 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 ballet be defined in such black and white terms? Surely i

28、t 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 contemporary and classical vocabulary together. Or clos

29、er 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. .The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vagu

30、e. 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 contemporary choreographers at the Royal Ballet and English Nationa

31、l 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. .Homans writes that ballets decline began after the passin

32、g 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, Alastair Macaulay, says: “ballet has died again and aga

33、in 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, still, are reproductions of Petipas classics. A season

34、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 canon; I am a traditionalist at heart (who loves to be c

35、hallenged 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 thoughts are not completely unfounded. Perhaps ballet is

36、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 Christopher Wheeldons The Winters Tale, and Wayne MacGregors W

37、oolf 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 again.1、Why does the writer cite Jennifer Homanss words at t

38、he beginning of the passage?ATo support the writers viewpoint.BTo introduce the topic of the passage.CTo highlight the theme of the passageDTo provide the background knowledge.2、The sentence Is this not ballet?” should be put in _.ABCD3、Which of the following statements is a fact about ballet?A“Sure

42、dle increasing orders at his factories in central Bohemia, he sent out advertisements across the Czech Republic. But in a prosperous economy where nearly everyone had work, there were few takers. Raising wages didnt help. Nor did offers to subsidize(补贴) housing. So he turned to the robots.“We cant f

43、ind enough humans,” said Mr. Frolik, whose company, Linet, makes hospital beds sold in over 100 countries. “So were trying to replace people with machines wherever we can.”Such talk usually makes people think of a future where employees are no longer needed. In many major economies, companies are ex

44、perimenting with replacing factory workers, truck drivers and even lawyers with artificial intelligence.But in Eastern Europe, robots are being enlisted as the solution for a shortage of workers. Often they are helping to create new types of jobs as businesses in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovaki

45、a and Poland try to stay competitive. Economic growth in these countries has averaged 5 percent in recent years, affected by the global recovery. A booming economy has reduced the jobless rate to just 2.4 percent, the lowest in the European Union.The lack of manpower, however, has limited the abilit

46、y of Czech companies to expand. Nearly a third of them have started to turn away orders, according to the Czech Confederation of Industry, a trade group.“Its becoming a brake on growth,” said Jaroslav Hanak, the organizations president. “If businesses dont increase robotization and artificial intell

47、igence, theyll disappear.”Some factories in Eastern Europe are already on the way. At Elko EP, which makes industrial timers for companies like General Electric, 70 percent of production is automated, and the company is aiming to be almost fully robotized in a few years. In a corner of the factory,

48、robots have taken over routine manufacturing(制造业) tasks. Jiri Konecny, the companys CEO, moved factory floor workers to more complex roles, and focused hundreds of other employees on research and development. “If we hadnt invested early in automation, wed be dead by now,” he said.1、What is the probl

49、em that Czech Republic is facing?AIts hard to find human workers.BIts population is decreasing greatly.CRobots are now welcome at factory work.DEmployees do not want to do factory work.2、Which of the following may have contributed to the problem in Eastern Europe according to Paragraph 4?ATough comp

50、etition.BAdvanced technology.CA low birth rate.DA fast-growing economy.3、How might Jaroslav Hanak feel about the future of Czech companies?APuzzledBWorried.CSurprisedDHopeful.4、What should companies do to survive?AChange their policies.BTurn to other countries for help.CEmploy qualified human worker

51、s.DSpend more money on automation.25（10分）High levels of chocolate consumption might be associated with a one third reduction in the risk of developing heart disease, suggests a study published online in the British Medical Journal. The findings confirm results of existing studies that generally agre

52、e on a potential beneficial link between chocolate consumption and heart health. However, the authors stress that further studies are needed to test whether chocolate actually causes this reduction or if it can be explained by some other unmeasured factor.The World Health Organization predicts that

53、by 2030, nearly 23 6 million people will die from heart disease. However, lifestyle and dict are key factors in preventing heart disease, says the paper, A number of recent studies have shown that eating chocolate has a positive influence on human health due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory

54、properties. This includes reducing blood pressure and improving insulin sensitivity.However, the evidence about how eating chocolate affects your heart still remains unclear. So, Dr Oscar Franco and colleagues from the University of Cambridge carried out a large scale review of the existing evidence

55、 to evaluate the effects of eating chocolate on cardiovascular(心血管)events like heart attack and stroke.They analyzed the results of seven studies, involving over 100,000 participants with and without existing heart disease, For each study, they compared the group with the highest chocolate consumpti

56、on against the group with the lowest consumption.Five studies reported a beneficial link between higher levels of chocolate consumption and the risk of cardiovascular events. They found that the “highest levels of chocolate consumption were associated with a 37% reduction in cardiovascular disease a

57、nd a 29% reduction in stroke compared with lowest levels.” No significant reduction was found in relation to heart failure.The authors say the findings need to be interpreted with caution, in particular because commercially available chocolate is very calorific (around 500 calories for every 100 gra

58、ms)and eating too much of it could lead to weight gain, risk of diabetes and heart disease.However, they conclude that given the health benefits of dating chocolate, initiatives to reduce the current fat and sugar content in most chocolate products should be explored.1、Which statement is NOT true ac

59、cording to the passage?AThere used to be studies about the beneficial link between chocolate consumption and heart health.BMillions of people will die from heart disease according to the WHOCThere are still other factors that may reduce the risk of heart disease.DThere is clear evidence about how ea

60、ting chocolate affects your heart.2、What are the possible causes of heart disease ?AEating chocolateBUnhealthy dietCExercising regularlyDDrinking coffee.3、Whats the authors attitude towards the findings?AcautiousBdoubtfulCdisapprovingDnegative4、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?AWe should
