26、people around the world have been reading, watching and listening to the plays and poems of the English writer William Shakespeare. He was considered as one of the most famous and skillful writers in the history of literature. He even invented thousands of words to color his works and they have beco
27、me part of the English language. Most people think of Shakespeare only as a writer. But he was also a theater producer（制作人）, and a part owner of an acting company. In 1599 Shakespeares company was successful enough to build its own theater called The Globe. Public theaters like this during this time
28、 were usually three floor levels high and were built around a stage area where the actors performed. The Globe could hold as many as three thousand people. People from all levels of society would attend performances. The poorer people could buy tickets for a small amount of money to stand near the s
29、tage. Rich people could buy more costly tickets to sit in other areas. Interestingly, it was not very important if these people could see the stage well. It was more important that they could be in a seat where everyone could see them. It was difficult to light large indoor spaces during this time.
30、The Globe was an outdoor theater with no roof on top so that sunlight could come in. Because of the open-air stage, actors had to shout very loudly and make big motions（动作）to be heard and seen by all. This acting style is quite different from play-acting today. It might also surprise you that all ac
31、tors during this period were men. Young boys in womens clothing played the roles of women characters. This is because it was against the law in England for women to act on stage.28. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to “_”.A. Shakespeares playsB. skillful writersC. the works written b
32、y ShakespeareD. the words created by Shakespeare29. The Shakespeares theater was NOT _.A. a three-floor public theaterB. big enough to hold three thousand peopleC. an indoor theater with a roof on its topD. built around an open-air stage30. Rich people bought more expensive tickets usually in order
33、to _.A. sit in the front of the theaterB. see the stage better than the othersC. be seen by the other people in the theaterD. show they are more important than others31. The passage mainly wants to show _.A. Shakespeare was a successful theater ownerB. what Shakespeares theater was like at that time
34、C. how hard-working the actors were in Shakespeares theaterD. it was unfair for women because they couldnt act in the theaterDIts common to see people create coffee art, but its a whole different ballgame doing the same thing with tea. After many years of research and practice, Han Zheming has manag
35、ed to perfect the skill, creating tea art in cups, or dian cha in Chinese, which used to be a ritual (仪式) during the Song Dynasty (9601279). Over the past six years, the 40-year-old Shanghai man has used tea and spoons to create nearly 200 patterns (图案) based on ancient paintings. “It is similar to
36、the foam (泡沫) on top of a cup of coffee, except that it is made of tea rather than milk,” Han says. He wants to bring the old ritual back to modern life and have more people understand its beauty. “Its like adding bells and whistles to tea and giving people a stronger sense of ritual, so drinking te
37、a is more fun,” Han explains. “Dian cha in modern tea making also improves the taste of tea.”In the Song Dynasty, the common way of having tea was through dian cha. The process begins with hot water being poured over fine tea to create a paste (糊状物), then more hot water is slowly added and the tea i
38、s repeatedly whisked (搅拌) by hand with a bamboo stick. This action of pouring hot water is called dian, and thats how the name dian cha appeared. It usually needs whisking the mixture between 180 and 200 times before the water and the tea are fully mixed and the foam appears. Then, one can begin to
39、make artistic designs on the foam. It is believed that this way later spread to other parts of East Asia, including Japan, where similarities can be seen in the way matcha is prepared today. Han has always been fascinated by the culture and art of the Song Dynasty under the influence of his mother.
40、In order to bring back the ancient art to life, Han often goes to museums to study Song paintings. “When it comes to traditional painting, it is about the soft brush against the hard paper, but with the tea, it is the other way round,” Han says. “Its the hard spoon against the soft foam.” Han added,
41、 “It has to be careful but quick work, before the foam disappears.”32. By using the underlined sentence in the Paragraph 1, the writer wants to express _.A. creating tea art is the same thing as a ball gameB. creating tea art isnt as easy as creating coffee artC. it is common to see coffee art durin
42、g the Song DynastyD. it is common to see tea art during the Song Dynasty33. According to Paragraph 3, dian cha can bring tea drinkers _.A. a new ritual and more beautyB. more bells and whistlesC. better smell and more tasteD. a sense of ritual and better taste34. The underlined words “adding bells a
43、nd whistles” in the third paragraph mean “_”.A. 掩耳盗铃B. 锦上添花C. 吹毛求疵D. 推陈出新35. The correct order of making Diancha is _. (create a paste slowly add hot water design artistic patterns whisk the tea with a stick)A. B. C. D. EIn a digital age, we almost never write things by hand. However, many studies h
44、ave shown that writing brings lots of good. A new brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University found the same result; choosing handwriting instead of using a keyboard results in better learning and memory. “When you write your shopping list or notes by hand, you simply remember wha
45、t you write better afterwards,” said Audrey Meer, the leader of the study. The study used tools to follow and record brain wave activity. 12 young adults and 12 children took part in the study. This is the first time that children have taken part in such a study. Each person was asked to write by ha
46、nd and type on a keyboard while wearing a special hat with over 250 electrodes（电极）which were used to pick up the electrical activity in their brain. Each examination took 45 minutes per person. The results showed that the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Audrey Meer, many senses are activated（激活）by pressing a pen on paper, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These sense experiences
