Great Theatres in the World.
The Palais Garnier
Paris
The Palais Garnier is the best known theater of Paris. In 1669 Louis XIV gave a green light to the opera theater foundation in honor of the poet Pierre Perren and the composer Robert Kamber. Throughout centuries the theater changed its name and location several times up to the moment it appeared in Paris district in the nineteenth century.
Palace of Catalan Music
Barcelona
The Palace of Catalan Music in Barcelona is a quite young opera house founded in 1891. The facade (外观) of the Palace reminds that in Spain it is the place where the European and Arabian cultures connected closely.
But the main feature of the concert hall is its lighting. The illumination (照明) is completely natural. The Palace of Catalan Music’s roof is made of color glass fully. Lights of the sun create an indescribable effect!
Vienna State Opera
Vienna
Vienna State Opera was built in 1869. Its opening was marked by Mozart’s opera Don Juan. On the other hand, the building often became the object of severe criticism since it was built in extremely widespread neo-renaissance style.

Milan
In 1776, the Milan architect Giuseppe Piermarini liked the piece of earth on the site of the destroyed Church of Santa Maria Della Scala.

As a teacher at Justin F. Kimball High School in Oak Cliff, Jesse Acosta finds most of his students are from low-income households, so they often end up wearing shoes that are falling apart.
“In my very first year as a teacher at Kimball, I had a student and when he would walk, his sole (鞋底) would just come apart from the rest of the shoe,” Jesse said. “The only part that was still glued was the front of it, right by the toe area.”
To make matters worse, sneaker culture is huge at the school. This was the case even when Jesse was a student. Although expressing oneself through sneakers is fun and harmless, sometimes those who are unable to participate end up getting bullied (欺凌).
Although Jesse was aware of this problem, he knew it would take a lot to find a solution. That’s why in 2020, he spent time designing a plan. He even had the perfect partner to help him: his girlfriend, Alejandra Zendejas. As a math tutor and “sneaker nerd (呆子),” as she calls herself, she could not be a better person to turn to.
To find the best shoes they can, Jesse and Alejandra shop at places like Nike with a budget of $30 per pair. It’s not easy, but these two spend the time that’s needed to hunt down outlet stores that often have huge discounts.
At first, they bought shoes with their own money. Later they started a nonprofit called Pasos for Oak Cliff. Now that their nonprofit has gained so much attention, they’re able to purchase shoes through donations and a grant (补助) from Amazon. They’re also planning on giving away $10, 000 in college scholarships to Oak Cliff students.
Best of all, they’re still expanding! Jesse and Alejandra are looking for more storage space for shoes in their own house. “We’re just doing things and approaching the inequity gap a little differently from other nonprofits,” Jesse said. “It’s worked out so far and we’re definitely blessed for that.”
4、Which of the following can best describe the situation of most of the kids
A. Physically disabled. B. Financially disadvantaged.

D. Some students are unable to focus on study.
6、How did Jesse and Alejandra solve the problem of money shortage
A. They sold a house. B. They applied for scholarships.
C. They purchased discounted shoes. D. They turned to nonprofit organizations.
7、Which of the following can best describe Jesse
A. Caring and generous. B. Humorous and strict.
C. Tolerant and cooperative. D. Cool-headed and respectful.
Trees don’t look at the calendar to see when spring arrives, but they seem to know when spring is here better than we do. Recently a research takes a look at why trees in cities are turning green earlier than expected. The annual shift from winter to spring is a breathtaking event to watch as leaves become green and a lush (苍翠的) environment reveals itself.
While it may be winter, trees in cities are turning green earlier than expected and one of the reasons is artificial light. City lights brightening the night skies, billboard signs lit up on roadways, and car headlights all contribute to shifting the regular day to night cycle that plants and trees rely on.
In order to stay alive during cruel winters, trees hit the pause button on their growth. Since temperatures can vary dramatically throughout the winter the length of daylight is the signal trees look for to safely start growing again and turn green.
On average cities are typically 1.8° to 5.4℉ warmer than rural areas. This is known as the urban heat island effect. The changes in city environments may affect seasonal changes even more than climate warming and can affect the allergy (过敏) and mosquito season, water cycles, and also affect pollinators (授粉媒介).
Scientists use satellite imagery to see when plants turn green. By comparing spring green-ups in the 85 largest US cities scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the combined effect of urban heat effect and artificial lights.
Despite the worries and concern, it isn’t all bad news.
“With a longer growing season, trees would be able to absorb more carbon dioxide,” A researcher said. “Hopefully they’d have a longer period to do the cooling effect that can help mitigate the urban heating effect in cities.”
8、Which might be a factor causing trees to turn green earlier according to the text
A. Timely rain. B. Devoted care. C. Street lamps. D. Noise pollution.
9、What can we say about the research findings
A. Cities are generally 5.4℉ colder than rural areas.
B. The length of daylight influences when trees start growing.
C. Changeable water cycles may cause urban heat island effect.
D. Urban heat causes trees to green up 9 days earlier on average.
10、What does the underlined word “mitigate” in the last paragraph mean
A. Relieve. B. Enhance. C. Establish. D. Release.
11、In which section of a website can the text be found
A. Business. B. Education. C. Life kit. D. Environment.
Even though people have been paralyzed (瘫痪的) playing sports like rugby and football, extreme sports take the whole ordeal(磨难) to the next level. Sports like downhill cycling are very dangerous because one would be going downhill, over rocky or dirt zone, through forests, even at potentially deadly speeds. A slip up could be your downfall.
Nobody who gets into extreme sports goes with the desire to do harm to themselves. With that, athletes train for years and years before they attempt anything extreme. To most people, extreme sports are extreme simply because they take more skill than what an average person has. An athlete with skill and training makes an extreme thing become a daily routine. That does not wipe out the danger, but it greatly reduces it.
Even when there is a lot of skill involved, things might not go the athlete’s way, not at all. Luck and circumstances have a lot to do with how things develop, whether above 8000 meters or in a wood, going downhill. In some places, crossing the street is an extreme sport, considering how wild traffic can get.
Some view parkour—the sports of running, jumping and climbing under, around and through buildings—as an extreme sport, while it is more of a life philosophy, where the athlete does not have to do anything remotely dangerous. Free soloing, which means climbing a rock or ice face without safety gear, is absolutely deadly, where one slip means almost certain death, depending on the height, of course. Skateboarding is relatively safe, but if you constantly find ridiculous places to practice on, like the fence of a bridge, then things can get very complicated. The extreme part depends on the athlete.
To summarize, yes, extreme sports are dangerous, but the danger depends on the athlete, their choice of sport, direction in which they take it, as well as the circumstances. Some things are out of our reach of control, while others we can influence through exercise and healthier risk choices.
12、Why is downhill cycling mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To call for attention to extreme sports.
B. To introduce the origin of extreme sports.
C. To illustrate the danger of extreme sports.
D. To show the complexity of the extreme sports.
13、What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about regarding extreme sports
A. Extreme sports differ from one another.
B. Skill matters a lot in maintaining safety.
C. Athlete’s luck is a key factor that influences safety.
D. Extreme sports are more dangerous than regular sports.
14、Which would best describe the author’s attitude towards the danger of extreme sports
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Intolerant. D. Uninterested.
15、Which of the following is the best title of the text
A. Do Extreme Sports Test Your Courage
B. Why Should Extreme Sports Be Banned
C. Why Do We Love Extreme Sports so Much
D. Are Extreme Sports Really That Dangerous
二、七选五

六、读后续写
34、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was sorting through old photos with my mother, looking for a specific picture of my father. I’d recently gotten a scanner and was in the process of digitizing our family pictures.
“Where on earth is that picture of Mumpsy and Dad ” I asked. I’d seen the picture in a frame at my grandma Virgie’s house when I was a child. It showed my father as a boy, in a suit, holding his beloved Boston terrier (波士顿狗), Mumpsy. It was one of my favorite pictures of him, and the only one I hadn’t found yet.
“Maybe Jean has it,” said Mom. “We could ask her.”
I looked at Mom as if she had three eyes. She could not be serious!
Grandma Virgie had had two sons, Dad and Uncle Ralph, who was married to Jean. Mom and Jean had always had a difficult relationship. Jean would say mean and unfavorable things to Mom while Mom tried to rise above it. Grandma Virgie wanted to help but there wasn’t much she could do. After Grandma passed away, Uncle Ralph’s family stayed in the house and took care of what Grandma left. My parents bought a new house and we moved out. As Mom and Aunt Jean was not on good terms, they purposely broke contact with each other.
With that, any connection we had with Uncle Ralph and Aunt Jean fell apart, and our big family split in two. Both my dad and my uncle were dead now. Mom and I had no contact with Jean.
Yet here was Mom, proposing to reach out to Jean nearly 30 years later.
“I’m in my eighties,” Mom said with a shrug. “Jean’s just a little younger. Neither of us has many years left. Why not give it a try ”
I couldn’t argue with that.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mom looked up Jean in the dusty phonebook and decided to call her.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I thought Mom would be back in an hour or so, but she didn’t return until close to dinner.

Dear George,
I’m happy to learn you take great interest in the special courses in our school, so I am writing to tell you something about a course I have attended.
At the beginning of this semester, I chose to take the labor course aimed at helping students appreciate the value of physical labor and helping students develop into well-rounded individuals. We are required to grow vegetables in the garden and take care of them, like watering them and fertilizing the fields. It offers us a chance to take a taste of our labor fruits earned through effort and sweat. The course is well received and more and more students want to sign up for it.
What about the special course you have attended in your school I hope you can tell me something about it.
Yours,
Li Hua
34、答案：
Mom looked up Jean in the dusty phonebook and decided to call her. Unexpectedly, Jean answered the call. Jean said she had inherited boxes and boxes of Grandma Virgie’s old photos, but they weren’t organized or labeled, so Jean invited Mom over to help her look for the picture of Dad and Mumpsy. Mom agreed. They set a date for a few days later. But I was still a little worried. “If she acts the way she used to, I’ll turn right around and leave,” she promised me right before she left for Jean’s house.
I thought Mom would be back in an hour or so, but she didn’t return until close to dinner. After she came back she told me what happened. She and Jean said Hi and then sat down at the kitchen table to look through photos. After a while, Jean apologized for the way she’d behaved years before. Then Jean took out a photo album of Virgie’s and suddenly the picture of Dad and Mumpsy caught their eyes. They both laughed. After Mom’s visit, Aunt Jean, Mom and I started getting together regularly. We all have framed copies of that picture of Dad and Mumpsy for it’s a reminder of how we were drawn back together as a family.
