4.The theater goes dark.The audience quiets down.The curtain opens.Actors step onto the stage,and the audience sits and waits for the play to begin.
Many people are needed to put ona play.Some of these people have made the setting,or set,that decorates the stage,and costumes(戲服)for the actors to wear.Actors have tried out for the parts.Then they have taken time to learn their lines.Even after the play is ready to be performed,the work doesn't end.Let's take a look behind the scenes.
To get ready for the play,actors put on costumes and makeup.These items will help the audience get to know the characters that the actors will play on the stage.Someone backstage may help with costume changes and repairs.
A set is like a costume for the stage.It can look like a forest or a playground or anyplace else you can imagine.Sets may be made from wood,paper,and even fabric.They are usually light so they are easy to move on and off the stage.
The lights in a play are very important.Lighting shows the time of day.It can also set the feeling of a scene.For example,brightness may make the audience feel happy and get their attention.A lighting technician controls the lighting during the play.
This is just some of what's needed to put on a play.Next time you see a performance,imagine all of the people who work hard to help the performers put on a good show.

21.The first paragraph introduces readers to the topic byD.
A.describing a scene in a play
B.showing how to produce a play
C.explaining different roles in a play
D.presenting the last-minute preparation for a play
22.According to the passage,settings,or setsA.
A.decorate the stage like costumes
B.a(chǎn)re usually made from rare materials
C.must be slowly changed with great care
D.determine the time and atmosphere of a play
23.Who is the passage probably written for?C
A.Actors.
B.Play writers.
C.Audiences.
D.Directors.

22.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"Some of these people have made the setting,or set,that decorates the stage,and costumes(戲服)for the actors to wear."可知背景和布景像服裝一樣被用來裝飾舞臺.故選A.
23.C.推理判斷題.A.Actors演員;B.Play writers劇作家;C.Audiences觀眾;D.Directors導演.根據(jù)第一段"The theater goes dark.The audience quiets down.The curtain opens.Actors step onto the stage,and the audience sits and waits for the play to begin."和最后一段"Next time you see a performance,imagine all of the people who work hard to help the performers put on a good show."可知本文主要介紹了表演開始前幕后的準備情況,所以本文是寫給觀眾的.故選C.

點評 此題主要考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

12.In a time when ivory poaching (偷獵) has gotten so bad that it threatens to wipe out several animal species,a young Dutch designer is creating"egalitarian (平等主義) jewelry^made of our very own ivory-teeth.
Lucie Majerus got the idea for her"human ivory"collection after having her wisdom teeth removed.She kept them and soon realized they would make great material for a jewelry collection."Why wouldn't we value our own material instead of the precious material from other species?And what if we mine our own ivory and turn it into pearls?"she asks.
Her own teeth became a ring,but in order to create a whole collection,she needed more material,and since having more of her teeth removed wasn't a very pleasant choice,she asked her dentist to save his patient's unwanted teeth.Most people choose not to keep their pulled teeth,so they are usually donated to dentistry schools.Majerus also received the lost teeth of two of her teachers at Design Academy Eindhoven,so she had a nice supply of human ivory to experiment with.
To turn human teeth into attractive pieces of jewelry,Lucie Majerus first bleaches (漂白) them,and then uses a stone polishing machine to shape the teeth into various shapes.
Majerus displayed her human ivory jewelry collection at this year's Dutch Design Week,and claims that people's reaction was mostly positive."Surprisingly,most people aren't frightened at the sight of the jewelry,but really like the idea,"Majerus told Fast Co Design."Some regret that they didn't keep their tooth at the dentist and some,who will have teeth taken out soon,are now looking forward to it."
 
25.When did Majerus get the idea of collecting human ivory?B
A.After she bought a ring.
B.After her wisdom teeth were pulled out.
C.Before she was lacking in pearls.
D.Before her wisdom teeth appeared.
26.Seeing Majerus's human ivory jewelry collection,most people feltD.
A.frightened     B.curious   C.sad      D.interested
27.It can be inferred form the next thatC.
A.Majerus is the first woman to create jewelry using human teeth
B.other species teeth are more precious than human teeth
C.most people don't like keeping their pulled teeth at home
D.Majerus's teachers objected to her experiments with teeth
28.What may be the best title for the text?B
A.Elephants and Ivory
B.Human Ivory Jewelry
