Maybe youve used them to describ

18、e 32 .These comments may come from stories about us that have been 33 for yearsoften from 34 childhood. These stories may have no 35 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical s

19、kills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 36 my development? I was never 37 to work on cars or be around 38 . When I was 18, I took the US Armys Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!Six years later, 39 , I was at California University, worki

20、ng on my doctors degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldnt do. On the positive side, I 40 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 41 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”Bob asked me how I knew I had no mec

21、hanical skills. I explained my life 42 and told him about my 43 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 44 is it that you can solve 45 mathematical problems, but you cant solve simple mechanical problems?”Suddenly I realized that I didnt 46 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living

22、 out expectations that I had chosen to 47 . At that point, it wasnt just my family and friends who had been 48 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasnt just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You cant do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that

27、own the back of your sofa are now big business! In 2005, the American artist Richard Princes photograph of a photograph, entitled (Cowboy), was sold for $ 1, 248, 000. Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”a loose term given to everythi

28、ng from discarded(丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a strangers family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at”, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982

29、. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on. Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found,

30、was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else: “Whys your car HERE at HER place?” The note became the starting point for Rothbards addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by read

31、ers, such as a poster discovered in your drawer. The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such as Richard Prince, may raise end

32、less possibilities. What was the cowboy in Princes Untitled doing? Was he riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? Its anyones guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理)

33、, we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after weve gone? In the absence of established facts, the vast collections of

34、 found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely. That, above all, is why they are so fascinating.51. The first paragraph of the passage is used to _. A. remind readers of found photographs B. advise reader to start a new kind of business C. ask readers to find photographs behind so

35、fa D. show readers the value of found photographs 52. The underlined word “them” in Para 4 refers to _. A. the readers B. the editors C. the found photographs D. the self-published magazines 53. By asking a series of questions in Para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that _. A. memory of the

36、 past is very important to peopleB. found photographs allow people to think freely C. the back-story of found photographs is puzzlingD. the real value of found photographs is questionable 54. The authors attitude towards found photographs can be described as _. A. critical B. doubtful C. optimistic

37、D. satisfied BThere are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved (演化) from ceremony. The argument for this view goes as follows.In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world

38、- even the seasonal changes - as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these unknown and feared 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

39、 the mysteries of the ceremonies. As time passed some ceremonies were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, remained and provided material for art and drama.Those who believe that drama evolved out of ceremony also argue that those ceremonies contained the seed of theater because music, da

40、nce, masks, and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the acting area and the auditorium . In addition, there were performers, and, since consider

41、able importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the performing of ceremonies, religious leaders usually took that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often acted other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and imitated the desired effect - success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, etc.

42、as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.Another theory traces(追溯) the theaters origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, etc) are gradually developed, at first through the use of ac

43、tion and dialogue, and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.55. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Relig

44、ious activities in ancient Greece. B. The ceremonies in ancient Greece. C. Drama theories. D. The origin of Greek Drama.56. According to the passage, drama_.A. was played in memory of ancient Greek ceremonies B. was a form of ceremony played by ancient Greeks to control unknown powers C. evolved out

45、 of ancient Greek ceremonies with time passing by D. is one of the measures Ancient Greeks took to view natural forces57. In tracing the beginning of drama, which of the following is not mentioned? A. Planting. B. Religious ceremonies. C. Gymnastic. D. Storytelling.CToo many people want others to be

46、 friends, but they dont give friendship back. That is why some friendships dont last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be un

47、derstanding.Honesty is where a good friend starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you havent been honest, you may lose your friends trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.

48、Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very

49、 valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend

50、can be the first step in solving the problem. So a friend must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friends place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your frie

51、nds, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding.58. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Three Important Points in LifeB. How to Be a Good FriendC. Honesty Is the Most Important QualityD. A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed59. Some friendships dont last long because_.A. some people d

52、ont treat friendship seriouslyB. there are too many people who want to make friendsC. they dont share their lunch moneyD. some people only receive friendship but dont give friendship back60.
