         Ballet is a precise and beautiful form of dancing that is performed in a theatre. A kind of ballet first appeared
    in Italy in the 1400s, but ballet as it is danced today began in France. During the reign of King Louis XIV, in the
    1600s, it was officially recognized as a form of art. The French Royal Academy of Dance was founded in 1661
    to promote ballet.
         Traditional, or classical, ballet follows strict rules and traditions. There are standard positions for the arms,
    legs and hands, and special movements that make the dance flow smoothly.
         Classical ballet uses orchestras (交响乐团), fine scenery and splendid costumes. Many ballets tell a story,
    but the dancers do not speak any words. They act out the story, using their bodies. The person who arranges
    the dance movements is called the choreographer (舞蹈指导).
         Some ballets are very famous. They have been danced for many years. Giselle, a story of a tragic young
    village girl who dies in love-stricken grief, was first performed in 1841. Two other long-time favourites are
    Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty. These two ballets are as famous for their music as for their dancing.
         Modern ballets often look very different from classical ones. They include freer, more modern dance steps.
    Sometimes, instead of telling a story, they dwell on certain moods or themes. Special effects may be produced
    with lighting, rather than scenery.
    1. Ballet first turned up in _____ and it was officially thought of as a form of art in _____.

    D. Italy in the 1600s; in France in 1600

    [     ]
    A. Classical ballet follows strict rules and traditions.
    B. Many ballets tell a story, and the dancers sometimes need to speak on the stage.
    C. Many ballets tell a story, but the dancers do not speak any words.
    D. The ballets always use their bodies to act out the story.

    [     ]
    A. Swan Lake and Giselle
    B. Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake
    B. Sleeping Beauty and Giselle
    D. Traditional and modern ballets

    B. live in

         Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of
    locusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path. And now in the battle to
    stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can
    catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. "We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the
    locusts," said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal's worst affected area .
        This is West Africa's biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to
    crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the
    northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already
    suf-fering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are
    not well equipped to fight the pest.
         Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough.
         "We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (杀虫剂 ), but we need to treat 20,000
    hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster," said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah,
    director of locust control in Mauritania.
         Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, the UN's Food
    and Agricul-ture Organization warned.
    1. By using " dark cloud" to describe locusts in the first para-graph, the author of the article ________.
    A. showed the size and speed of the mass of locusts
    B. suggested the great damage that locusts can cause
    C. warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds
    D. both A and B
    2. The story is mainly about ______.
    A. West Africa's united effort in fighting a disaster
    B. the difficulty in controlling locusts
    C. how locusts caused great damage to West Africa
    D. a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa
    3. The locust disaster ______.
    A. would be even more serious in Asia
    B. is (was)out of control
    C. affected only the warning areas
    D. can not be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas
    4. Which of the following is WRONG ?
    A. Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.
    B. Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan.
    C. The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa.
    D. 12 countries affected by locusts have united but still lack pesticide.

    by a programmer, she took a look at the codes on the programmer's computer and kindly reminded him,
    "Be careful, the stack is overfilled!"

    lady beside them to give them precious suggestions at a key time.

    "Sweeping Old Lady" from becoming the most popular figure on the Internet.
         "Programmer Humor" said he is just a programmer in the real world and once he saw the story about the
    "Sweeping Old Lady," he wrote it down in his miero-blog because it was funny. He never knew who the
