5．Community theatre is a theatre that is run by a local district with the efforts of volunteers．They offer many different kinds of productions，such as musical theatre，dance theatre and children's theatre．Usually，performers are amateurs who receive no pay，but at other times professionals get involved，and they are paid．Community theatres of today are a little different ftom the old"little theatres"，as most are simply run by colleges and their theatre departments．Community theatres are a great way to get involved with local actors．Now，most theatres put on shows that will entertain or benefit the community．
In the 1880s，"little theatre"was started in Europe so that poor people could see theatrical productions without having to travel far or pay a lot．In 1910，this idea traveled to the United States．In the early years，community theatres were even funded by the government，but when shows became too political，government funding was stopped．
Community theatres of today are a little different from the old"little theatres"，as most simply want to infuse little culture into the lives of the local citizens．In many cases，these theatres are run by colleges and their theatre departments．These productions are often free of charge，or charge very little money to pay for costumes and other incidental expenses．Many also encourage the participation of children and other young people to let them develop theatrical skills，as well as to keep them busy so that they do not choose to get into trouble．Additionally，for those who desire strongly to become professional actors and to one day get a chance to act in a national theatre production，it is an exciting place to learn and develop theatrical skills．

20．Change is one of the common facts of life．Most of us have seen a number of changes in our own lives from simple things like fashion trends and entertainment to big changes in technology．
Language，too，has experienced change and continues to develop．The continuous change is what keeps languages alive．
Slang is a way in which languages can transform and are renewed．Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in a language．Some consider slang to be witty （言辭巧妙的） and clever，adding spice to the informal written and spoken language．Walt Whitman described slang as"the start of imagination and humor，breathing into its nostrils （鼻孔） the breath of life"．However，others criticize its use，believing that it weakens the language．
The spoken English language of today's younger generation is filled with slang words and expressions．These lively words and phrases are an example of how language plants its own seeds of change that develop within social circumstances．
Sometimes slang is the use of a word that is already in the standard dictionary，for example，lift （to pick up or raise） is given a new meaning，such as"to steal"； or hunk （a large piece of something） has now become"a handsome man"．Other times，slang is an invented word，such as chocoholic，which means"a person who loves chocolate"．Other invented words are mula，which means"money"and airhead，which means"a person who is stupid"．
Now，you'll understand your friends if they say something like，"I was such an airhead to think that I could get away with lifting a whole box of chocolates from the store just because I was all out of mula．"

65．What was Whitman's attitude towards slang？B
A．He was doubtful about it．
B．He thought highly of it．
C．He showed no interest in it．
D．He was against the use of it．
66．The underlined word"spice"in the third paragraph probably means"C"．
A．damage          
B．difficulty        
C．fun             
D．sugar
67．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．"Hunk"is an invented word．
B．Slang cannot be found in the dictionary．
C．An"airhead"refers to a person out of money．
D．People hold different opinions towards slang．
68．What's the main idea of the passage？A
A．An introduction to slang．
B．The change of language．
C．The use of slang．
D．The origin of slang．

17．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
The X-Factor （英國(guó)偶像），Britain's got talent（英國(guó)達(dá)人），American Idol（美國(guó)偶像）and Super girl，TV talent shows are popular all over the world．
There are many reasons for that．To start with，the show can make the contestant（選手） famous overnight．Susan Boyle was an ordinary English woman before she appeared on Britain's Got talent，in which she sang"I Dreamed a Dream"．The video clip （片段） of her performance was viewed more than 50 million times within a few weeks．Second，the show offers a good opportunity to display one's talents．Third，everybody has a fair chance to be involved in the show regardless of the age and background．Even if you can't perform in the show，you can vote for your favorite contestant through cell phones and the Internet．Fourth，the fun and humorous style also appeals to young people．Last but not least，the modern media such as TV and the Internet contributes greatly to its rapid popularity．
However，many people express concerns about TV talent shows．They argue that the TV talent show misleads the young people and makes them believe that they can become famous overnight．Some think the show only creates entertainers rather than artists，because many winners have little idea about real music and acting．What's worse，some judges even humiliate （羞辱） and laugh at contestants．One contestant from American Idol committed suicide because she couldn't stand the rejection and humiliation．Even the winners suffer．Susan Boyle suffered a nervous breakdown soon after the show，because she was unable to deal with the pressure．
Many countries have realized the problems and taken some steps to regulate the show．The UK requires that contestants younger than 16 not be allowed to participate．China bans TV talent shows to be broadcast during the prime time．In the USA，some insulting judges are punished．

14．Shaking hands is a part of business life．a(chǎn)nd while it's a simple gesture，it's important to getit right Here are some tips to follow．
（1）Make eye contact．The handshake is firstly a form of greeting and as such you are looking at the person to make a connection with him or her，beyond the immediate physical handshake．
（2）Introduce your self．A handshake is only part of the graeting process； combine it with an oral introduction or message．
（3）Use your right hand If you have something to do with your right hand，you should explain to him or her and say sorry while showing your left hand to him or her to get the forgiveness．
（4）Be firm and steady．No one likes a dead-fish handshake，but it's not a wrestling contest，either．The pressure you need to apply is about what you'd use to pick up a full drink bottle．
（5）BA few seconds is all that is needed．Your aim is to greet the person，not to trap him．
Here is something that you should not do．
（1）Squeeze lt's called a handshake，not a hand squeeze Squeezing can hurt the other person's hand，especially if he or she is wearing rings．
（2）Use a two-handed shake．Don't do that unless it's a person you know well．Between new acquaintances，the double-handed shake can be considered smarmy（討好的）．This also napplies to using the left hand to touch the person's shoulder．
（3）Use a dirty or sweaty hand．If you're nervous and your palm is sweat，press your palm against your leg to wipe it dry．

36．According to the passage，before a handshake，if you are doing something with your right hand，C．
A．you must stop doing it at once                B．you can ask him or her to wait
C．you should explain and apologize              D．you can use your left hand
37．What's the best title for point 5in the tips-to-follow part？B
A Greet the person                   B．Keep it brief．
C．Make your aim clear．               D．Don't embarrass your hand-shaker．
38．According to the passage，if you shake hands with someone you meet for the first time，which of the following is polite to do？C
A．Use your two hands to show your respect．
B．Put your left hand on his or her shoulder when shaking hands．
C．Make sure that your hand is dry before shaking hands．
D．Use your right hand to squeeze his or her hand．
39．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？B
A．Where we should look when shaking hands．
B．Who should hold out his or her hand first to shake hands．
C．How much pressure should be used when you shake hands．
D．How long a handshake  should last．
40．We can infer that the writer spurpose in writing this passage is toD．
A．tell us the importance of a great handshake
B．show us what kinds of handshakes are considered impolite
