AThe Lyceum TheatreDavid Bateman is a huge fan of this theatre.“You cannot find a theatre with a more varied(多变的) past，” he argues. At first a place for musicals，the Lyceum soon began to host a lot of different events. Then there were more changes and the theatre was used as a music hall before once again becoming a t heatre. And it was during this period，in 1934，that Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ saw her very first pantomime(童话剧) here!The London PalladiumFelix Knight would be surprised if you hadn’t heard of this very famous theatre in the West End. In the 1950s，millions of viewers across Britain would watch Saturday Night at the Palladium，a weekly variety show(杂耍表演) televised live from the theatre. Nowadays，the theatre hosts musicals such as The Sound of Music，but it also hosts a number of important events such as the British film awards in 2007.The Globe Theatre“People are likely to overlook the Globe Theatre because it’s not in the West End，”says Jane Campbell. The theatre is a copy of the Elizabethan playhouse that was built in 1599 and where Shakespear e’s plays were written and performed. Every last inch of the rebuilt Globe is authentic(逼真的)，even the fact that it is an openair theatre.The Piccadilly TheatreFor Mariella Clark，this theatre is her number one choice. Opened in 1928，it may not be the oldest theatre in the West End，but it is one of the biggest and has certainly made its mark—during its time as a cinema it actually showed the first talking movie ever！“I’d always thought that theatres put on plays or musicals from day one，”Mariella says，“so I was quite surprised when I first began to realize that they often have quite interesting histories.”21．According to David，the Lyceum Theatre________．A．has a very colourful pastB．was used to show moviesC．was the favourite of Queen ElizabethD．offers shows as well as events on stage22．Which theatre could be unpleasant on a rainy day?A．The London Palladium.B．The Piccadilly Theatre.C．The Lyceum Theatre.D．The Globe Theatre.23．Who feels surprised at the history of his or her favourite theatre?A．Mariella. B．David.C．Felix. D．Jane.BWith a growing number of people in San Francisco choosing not to own a car, German car making company BMW has decided to branch out into carsharing services with 70 cars spread around the city, first in 14 locations, with a further 100 being added gradually.“This is not an AtoA service—it is AtoB，” says Richard Steinberg, chief executive of the Drive Now scheme(方案), pointing out that members can pick up a car downtown for the halfhour drive to the airport for only $12, compared with about $40－50 for a taxi.Whether that is possible in real life depends on traffic, of course. A midmorning drive from Union Square down Highway 101 to the airport takes just 22 minutes; however, driving back during the rush hour takes twice as long.Most of the cars that are stuck in San Francisco’s traffic jams(交通阻塞) are giving off all sorts of harmful gas. But not Drive Now’s BMW Active E cars.“All the cars in San Francisco are electric，” Mr Steinberg says.In San Francisco, handing back the car to Drive Now is easy—just pick one of its dropoff points, park and walk away. There are no forms to fill in, no timeconsuming(耗时的) rules.Several other carmakers and other players within the motor industry are experimenting with similar schemes, for exam ple Daimler’s Car2go scheme, which is operated in many cities around the world.“We picture a future where carsharing members outnumber car owners in big cities around the world，” says Car2go spokesman Andreas Leo.Franck Leveque, from company Frost & Sullivan, agrees.“Car sharing is growing at a pace we have not seen before，” he says. “By 2020 we believe there will be 15 million members of carsharing schemes in Europe alone, with 140，000 vehicles in operation.”24．What does the underlined part “branch out into” probably mean?A．Start offering. B．Stop improving.C．Make use of. D．Take control of.25．The Drive Now scheme________．A．works better in rushhour trafficB．makes city driving less dangerousC．encourages people to buy a cheap carD．allows drivers to pay money to use a car26．What’s special about BMW A ctive E cars?A．They drive much faster than other car s.B．They never get stuck in heavy traffic.C．They don’t harm the environment.D．They need less gas to run.27．What does Franck think of the future of car sharing?A．Worrying. B．Hopeful.C．Uncertain. D．Disappointing.CMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal（信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize（强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job．In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand．I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled．After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.28．In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _______. A．develop closer relations B．share the same cultureC．get to know each other D．keep each other company29．The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _______.A．the English prefer to make long speechesB．too many words are of no useC．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD．even talk and silence can be culturally different30．According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better? A．By sharing different ways of life.B. By accepting different habits.C. By recognizing different values.D. By speaking each other' s languages.31．What would be the best title for the text?A．Multicultural Environment.B．Cross-Cultural Differences.C．How to Understand Each Other.D．How to Build Up a Relationship.DSeveral years ago I worked in an office, which I had a locust tree growing outside the window. It had grown into a tall tree and must have been there for a long time. The tree blocked the view and made the office seem dull, unfortunately this happened to be the room assigned to me and I was depressed by it for quite some time.When the first spring came, everything was green except the locust tree. Secretly, I was very happy because I had thought it had died.One morning when I opened the window for fresh a ir, I unexpectedly smelt a familiar sweet scent floating into my office but I couldn’t name it. Suddenly, I realized it was the locust tree! The tree that I thought dead was blossoming in full glory.From then on, I usually came to the office very early to see dew forming on the locust tree blossoms and every year was eager to see spring again.During summer, the green leaves provided shade protecting me from the harsh sunlight, but allowing enough light in to make it pleasant. In autumn, the leaves turned into many different colors. Its beauty touched my soul. Many times I thought to take photos but never did. Then I had to leave in a hurry. Later in life it became a great regret that I had not done so.Actually, many times in our lives, we think we own something, therefore we don’t cherish it. We don’t feel regretful until we lose it one day! Moreover, sometimes, we have to accept the things we don’t want and need to discover the hidden b eauty to find unexpected joy! 32．The author of the passage employed a writing way ________.A．of raising B．that raised first, then heldC．that held first, then raised D．that was not holding or raising33．What the author wanted to tell us is that ________.A．not being delighted for what you have got and not feeling pity on the lostB．think twice before you leapC．treat everything calmlyD．value what you’ve owned34．The reason the author came to the office early is ________.A．to enjoy the dew B．to finish her work earlyC．to do some cleaning D．to avoid the burning sun35．The underlined word “so” in the fifth paragraph perhaps refers to ________.A．that I couldn’t see the tree any longer B．that I should have taken some photos C．that I had to leave D．that the tree died第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
