The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this
14、 view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable, and they sought through various means, to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained
15、and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.Those who believed that drama evolved
16、 out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances, and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between t
17、he acting area and the auditorium. In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatur
18、al beings, and mimed the desired effect-success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun-as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.Another theory traces the theaters origin from the human interest in storytelling. According
19、 to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that
20、are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.Questions 1-51. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The origins of theater. B. The role of ritual in modern dance. C. The importance of storytelling. D. The variety of early religious activities.2. What
21、 aspect of drama does the author discuss in the first paragraph? A. The reason drama is often unpredictable. B. The seasons in which dramas were performed. C. The connection between myths and dramatic plots. D. The importance of costumes in early drama.3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a
22、 common element of theater and ritual? A. Dance.B. Costumes.C. Music.D. Magic.4. According to the passage, what is the main difference between ritual and drama? A. Ritual uses music whereas drama does not. B. Ritual is shorter than drama. C. Ritual requires fewer performers than drama. D. Ritual has
23、 a religious purpose and drama does not.5. Which of the following statements does the passage support? A. No one really knows how the theater began. B. Myths are no longer represented dramatically. C. Storytelling is an important part of dance. D. Dramatic activities require the use of costumes.TEXT
24、 BIt is important to encourage a reading habit so that people grow up mentally to be able to fulfill their potential at every level from village to university. It is observed that the education sector in a country should provide a fairly good information infrastructure, which can form a solid base o
25、n which information services can develop. The importance of the information resources is that they are vital for educational development and also, the development of a reading habit. There is a need, therefore, to improve access to books and other informational resources to the various user groups a
26、t the right time and appropriate form.The task of promoting a reading culture in a country or society is not an easy one. Therefore, all the parties in both the educational sector and the private sector should coordinate their efforts to achieve this goal. Neither a subsistence farmer nor a graduate
27、 chemist can fulfill his/her potential without the cognitive growth that comes from reading widely. People will not read more than their immediate needs if they are not exposed to reading, such growth is every persons right.To develop a reading habit and forge the link between people with basic lite
28、racy skills and books, it is necessary for libraries and other stakeholders to reach out to the people. Librarians will have to take books to the people rather than waiting for people to visit them if they really want the people to read. It is also necessary to provide materials, which are enjoyable
29、 and entertaining so that people may be motivated to read.Librarians must learn to step out of their secure domains and get closer to the grass roots. If we give people what they want rather than what we think they should have they will start reading. Their literacy skills will grow and yield fruit
30、rather than wasting away for lack of use. Finally and most important of all, it is necessary to spread the word, to create a general awareness of books to the mental growth of the individual and to the economic growth of the nation. It is necessary most of all to give books to the people, to give pl
31、enty of books, which are both easy and interesting, and to provide theses in a manner that is culturally acceptable. Once people develop a reading habit, they will pass it on, the demand for books will grow and the citizens of a nation will be able to realize their ambition.Questions 6-106. Where is
32、 this passage most likely to be found?A. In an entry from an encyclopedia.B. In the conclusion of an academic article.C. In a draft of an activity brochure.D. In a transcript of a television interview.7. According to paragraph 1, it is important that _.A. the education sector in a country should enc
33、ourage people to read.B. people should grow up mentally to be able to fulfill their potential.C. the information resources should be more effectively used.D. government should buy more books and other informational for students.8. According to the second and third paragraphs, it is believed that _.A
34、. people tend to read no more than they need.B. people have the right not go to library when they dont need to.C. librarians should encourage people to donate to local libraries.D. libraries are places for people to get to know each other.9. According to the last paragraph, the author claims that _.
35、A. librarians should take more time in doing outdoor activities.B. librarians should step out of their offices and talk to the local people.C. it is necessary for a society to create a general awareness of books.D. it is essential for a society to have more people reading in libraries.10. In general
36、, the passage is meant to _.A. encourage people to read more.B. encourage government authorities to establish more libraries.C. encourage the society to cultivate a reading habit.D. encourage librarians to play a more important role in the community.TEXT CLike several other luxury brands, D&G was cl
37、early attempting to “look east” by hosting a show in Shanghai and promoting it with ads specifically aimed at Chinese consumers. As post-recession Western markets have shrunk, China and the Middle East have become the largest and most influential consumers of European-made luxury and consequently, t
38、heir products and marketing and attention goes towards these countries. Brands also woo Chinese consumers by hiring Chinese models to be the face of their brand in the country instead of relying on white Hollywood stars. In 2016, the Economist even wrote about how Asian taste for ornate jewellery ha
39、s translated into luxury brands designing bigger pieces.At first glance, theres nothing new about multinational corporations tweaking their products to suit a particular markets tastes Coca-Cola and McDonalds are the enduring examples of such localization. But fashion, especially luxury fashion, wor
40、ks differently or did until very recently. While cheap, fast-moving products assume that the “customer is king”, fashion designers are put on pedestals from where they get to dictate what a customer wants, shaping aspirations across the world.But these tastemakers are not infallible in the way they
41、used to be. Designers cant control their messaging and image as tightly as they could earlier. Now we get social media accounts in addition to the highly manufactured ad campaigns. This gives us a much more detailed picture of who we are buying from and makes it easier for us to spot the hypocrisies
42、 between revenue-driven decisions (like hiring more Chinese models) and personal biases (like racist tweets).Nobody wants to feel insulted and humiliated for who they are when they interact with you as a person or with your products. When we buy something especially something aspirational and not ut
43、ilitarian were consuming a lot more than the product. Its mostly about how it makes us feel and that emotion is muddied when we suspect, or worse know, that the product that we want comes from a person or place who does not value us.Moving away from the individual level, were living in a moment that
44、s a peculiar mix of local and global. While we feel globally connected to lots of different people and things across the world, national pride now figures as a large part of our political and personal identities this is true of India and China especially and thats somewhat understandable because for
45、 centuries before this academia, art, culture, cuisine and fashion were dominated by ideas that painted this part of the world as inferior. And now theres space for us to say “Hey, we are not okay with such shallow, one-sided depictions of us.” And thats why old tropes like grey, rundown visuals of
46、China or references to snake charmers in India elicit such vivid responses from us.The reality, of course, goes even deeper than the fact that China is one of the biggest consumers of European luxury. In fact, a number of grand old European brands are now partly, and in some cases mostly, owned by C
47、hinese companies.When D&G releases such ads, the underlying jibe is clear China remains “backward” and “uncultured” in the brands imagination. The farce is also self-evident D&G apparently thinks its biggest market and wealthiest customers are mired in pedantism and thus incapable of cosmopolitan.Chinese consumers call to boycott shows that if brands treat them as nothing more than a conglomeration of wallets, then theyll respond in the same way by closing those wallets.Questions 11-1511. According to the passage, western luxu
