To do this I ha
12、ve searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play. Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家) hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of
13、 the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These in
14、clude comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面性) of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play. Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder,
15、William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book. To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the a
16、udience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story. 21. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph? A. He has written dozens of plays. B. He has a deep love for the theater. C. He is a professional sta
17、ge actor. D. He likes reading short plays to others. 22. What does the author avoid doing in his work? A. Stating the plays central ideas. B. Selecting works by famous playwrights. C Including various types of plays. D. Offering information on the playwrights. 23. What does the author suggest reader
18、s do while reading the plays? A. Control their feelings. B. Apply their acting skills. C. Use their imagination. D. Keep their audience in mind. 24. What is this text? A. A short story. B. An introduction to a book. C. A play review. D. An advertisement for a theater. B The traffic signals along Fac
19、toria Boulevard in Bellevue, Washington, generally dont flash the same length of green twice in a row, especially at rush hour. At 9:30am, the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:33am, a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:37am could
20、push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals changes. That is by design. Bellevue, a fast-growing city just east of Seattle, uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US: intersection(十字路口) signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. These li
21、ghts, known as adaptive signals, have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home. “Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addressed, ” says Alex Stevanovic, a researcher at Florida Atlantic University. For all of B
22、ellevues success, adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways. Kevin Balke, a research engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute, says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities, others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the numbe
23、r of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference. “Its not going to fix everything, but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities,” he says. In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches. In the past, there was often an aut
24、omatic reaction to increased traffic: just widen the roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue Transportation Departments traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger. 25. What does the underlined word “that”
25、in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Increased length of green lights. B. Shortened traffic signal cycle. C. Flexible timing of traffic signals. D. Smooth traffic flow on the road. 26. What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals? A. They work better on broad roads. B. They should be used in other cities
26、. C. They have greatly reduced traffic on the road. D. They are less helpful in cities seriously jammed. 27. What can we learn from Bellevues success? A. It is rewarding to try new things. B. The old methods still work today. C. I pays to put theory into practice. D. The simplest way is the best way
27、. C Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age, a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests. Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1, 000 retired wor
28、kers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers memory and thinking skills through a battery of tests. Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests. Those who had held mentally stimulating(刺激), demanding jobs
29、 before retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose cognitive(认知) function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants overall health status. “This works just like
30、 physical exercise, ” says Francisca Then, who led the study. “After a long run, you may feel like youre in pain, you may feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work-sure, you will feel tired, but it can help your brain stay healthy. ” Its not just corporate jobs or even paid work tha
31、t can help keep your brain fit, Then points out. A waiters job, for example, that requires multitasking, teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And “running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating(协调), ” she says. “You have t
32、o organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries. ” Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons-including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still, continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can on
33、ly help. 28. Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests? A. To assess their health status. B. To evaluate their work habits. C. To analyze their personality. D. To measure their mental ability. 29. How does Francisca Then explain her findings in paragraph 4? A. By using an experts w
34、ords. B. By making a comparison. C. By referring to another study. D. By introducing a concept. 30. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Retired Workers Can Pick Up New Skills B. Old People Should Take Challenging Jobs C. Your Tough Job Might Help Keep You Sharp D. Cognitive Fun
