There are many theories about how drama (戏剧) came into being in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama developed gradually from ceremonies. The argument for this view goes as follows.
In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these unknown powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then kept and repeated until they hardened into fixed ceremonies. Eventually stories arose which explained the mysteries of the ceremonies. As time passed, some of them were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths (神话), provided materials for art and drama
Those who believe that drama came out of ceremonies also argue that those ceremonies contained the seed of theater because music, dance, and masks were almost always used. In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the rules of ceremonies, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks, they often impersonated (扮演) other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and performed the desired effect by gestures -- success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival (复活) of the Sun -- as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.
Another theory finds out the theater came from the human Interest in storytelling. According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other events) are gradually formed, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a speaker and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person A closely related theory about drama traces to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations (模仿) of animal movements and sounds.
小题1:Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?
A.Three theories about how drama came into being are mentioned.
B.The majority of people believe drama came from ceremonies.
C.Stories were made up to explain the mysteries of the ceremonies.
D.Religious activities developed gradually from ceremonies.
小题2:We can infer from the passage that ______.
A.all measures couldn't bring the desired results
B.religious leaders usually didn't perform in the ceremonies
C.mistakes are unavoidable in the religious ceremonies
D.performers usually used languages to reach the desired results
小题3:The underlined part "traces to" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A.dates back toB.is devoted toC.gives way toD.is familiar to
小题4: The best title for the text would be ______.
A.The Development of DramaB.The History of Drama

C
We all love festivals. But since culture develops differently in many places, some festivals are, to us, very strange. Let’s take a look at some unique(独特的)festivals around the world.
Cheese Rolling Festival (England)
The festival started in the 15th century in May. When a round cheese is rolled, competitors run down the hill and try to catch it before it reaches the bottom. As the cheese can reach speeds of up to 112 km/h, it’s rare that someone catches the cheese. First to the bottom wins the cheese. But running down a very steep(陡峭的) hill behind a cheese can be dangerous. Eight people were injured in 1992.
Roswell UFO festival (New Mexico, US)
The Roswell UFO festival celebrates the anniversary(纪念日) of the “Roswell Incident”, when a UFO was said to have crashed(坠毁) nearby. Every year in July, experts, authors, researches and lecturers come to discuss the incident. The celebration also includes an alien parade, an alien costume contest, and an alien hot air balloon ride.
Hemingway Days (Florida, US)
This festival has normal stuff (材料,东西) like short-story readings and exhibits about the author. But the highlight (亮点) of the festival is definitely (一定地) the Hemingway look alike contest.
Imagine walking into a bar and being greeted by 20 middle-aged men who all look alike: stocky with thick white beards. The festival takes place in mid-July every year.
小题1:Which festival takes place in mid-July every year?
A.Cheese Rolling Festival. B.Roswell UFO festival.
C.Hemingway Days. D.All of the above.
小题2:Which festival may cause injuries according to the passage?
A.Cheese Rolling Festival. B.Roswell UFO festival.
C.Hemingway Days. D.None of the above.
小题3:Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A.All the three festivals are celebrated in America.
B.It’s common that someone catches the cheese in Cheese Rolling Festival.
C.It’s said that a UFO once crashed in New Mexico, US.
D.In Hemingway Days, you’ll see 20 old or young Hemingways

Nuclear­powered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th century. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them. But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.
The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclear­powered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)­powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance (联盟)military moves.
It will be the first time that a nuclear­powered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War Ⅱ at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclear­powered weapons are based.
“A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause billions of dollars in damage,” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.
The 44­year­old Kitty Hawk, the US Navy's oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned(废弃核武器) in 2008. The new carrier will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy's most modern technology.
Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the US­Japan military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts don't believe that the two countries are threats to the region.
“There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense,” said Tetsuo Maeda, an international relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.
小题1:With such a powerful weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens ________.
A.are aware of its benefits to the country
B.are anxious about its potential danger
C.are curious about the advanced technology
D.are against where the carrier will be based
小题2:The replacement of the aircraft carrier is intended to________.
A.set up a kind of base in Japan
B.strengthen the US­Japan military alliance
C.show Japan's greater military capability
D.get rid of the dated marine weapon
小题3:From the story, we learn that________.
A.no other countries except the USA and France possess aircraft carriers
B.Japan has long planned to increase its military capability with new weapons
C.Japan will be the first country in Asia to have a nuclear aircraft carrier
D.Japan will be the third country to produce a nuclear­powered aircraft carrier
小题4:By his remark in the last paragraph, the professor means that________.
A.he is quite confident of their military defense
B.he is completely opposed to a new nuclear carrier
C.what is needed is far more than a nuclear carrier
D.it is unnecessary to guard against the two countries

I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one – it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDonald’s
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped(拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.
Apple
There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette(轮廓)of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926.
Adidas
The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.
小题1:What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?
A.They are boring.B.They are out of date.
C.They are attractive.D.They are practical.
小题2:What does Nike’s logo stand for?
A.The goddess of victory.
B.The source of inspiration for soldiers.
C.The statue of the Greek goddess.
D.The wing of the Greek goddess.
小题3:We can learn that Apple’s present logo is ______.
A.the religious story of Adam and Eve
B.a bitten apple with only one color
C.Newton’s sitting under an apple tree
D.the rainbow-colored bitten apple
小题4:______ stands for the rule of the land, the sea and the air.
A.Nike’s logoB.Apple’s logo
C.The Mercedes logoD.The Adidas logo
小题5:Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?

Who Owns the Moon?
Within the next ten years, the U. S., China, Israel, and a crowd of private companies plan to set up camp on the moon. So if and when they plant a flag, does that give them property rights?
A NASA working group hosted a discussion this week to ask: Who owns the moon? The answer, of course, is no use. The Outer Space Treaty, the international signed by more than 100 countries, states that the moon and other celestial bodies (天体) are the province of all mankind. No doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the Middle Ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs.
But ownership is different from property rights. People who rent apartments, for example, don’t own where they live, but they still hold rights. So with all of the upcoming missions (派遣团) to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush.
“ This is a very relevant discussion right now. We’ve got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world,” said William Marshall, a scientist in the small-spacecraft office at NASA, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by NASA’s Co Lab, a collaborative(协力完成的) public-private working group. He was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency.
To be sure, the United States aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2015, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. China and Israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. And for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize. Some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission.
小题1:In the passage the writer seems to be worrying that ________.
A.the US will live on the moon forever
B.the moon will not be able to hold all mankind
C.the potential land rush will become more and more frequent
D.no one can answer the question “ Who owns the moon?”
小题2:“ The Google Lunar X Prize” aims to ________.
A.encourage private groups to land on the moon
B.help NASA host a discussion about land rush on the moon
C.help some developing countries to complete their lunar projects
D.reward some countries or private groups which haven’t stepped on the moon
小题3:The underlined word “ that” in the first paragraph refers to ________.
A.the Outer Space Treaty
B.if and when they plant a flag
C.the NASA working group
D.monks from the Middle Ages
小题4:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The U. S. astronauts will live on the moon for longer time.
B.Many countries and private groups plan to go to the moon.
C.Why some private groups wish to land on the moon.
D.It is easy to gain some property rights on the moon.
小题5:We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.it’s a waste of time to work on the lunar project
B.“ The Outer Space Treaty” forbids private groups to land on the moon
C.all mankind has the right to land on the moon
D.whenever you come to the moon, you’ll get some property rights on it
