We know how to be alone and, more importantly, we know that it’s OK to be alone. 2 the under 20s are another kettle of fish. They’re so busy that they never experience the feeling of solitude and run the risk of not learning how to enjoy their own company. In addition, they’re learning conversation through messages that can 3 (edit) and changed at the expense of learning the art of real conversation in real time with the person in front of you .

3be edited

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。作者认为联系越多,我们就越感到孤立。作者这一代人知道如何独处,但20岁以下的年轻人却从来没有体验过独处的感觉,他们通过可以编辑和更改的信息来学习对话,却忽略了学习与眼前的人实时对话的艺术。

1

考查介词。句意:我认为这对我们这一代人来说不是个问题,他们已经没有科技生活了这么久。结合句意表示“没有”应用介词without。故填without

2

考查连词。句意:但20岁以下的人则是另一回事。结合上下文语境可知此处为转折关系,应用连词but,句首单词首字母要大写。故填But

3

考查动词语态。句意:此外,他们通过可以编辑和修改的信息来学习对话,代价是学习与你面前的人进行实时对话的艺术。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且can后跟动词原形。故填be edited

【题目】 I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.

Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家) hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面性) of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.

Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.

To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.

1What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?

A.He has written dozens of plays.B.He has a deep love for the theater.

C.He is a professional stage actor.D.He likes reading short plays to others.

2What does the author avoid doing in his work?

A.Stating the plays’ central ideas.B.Selecting works by famous playwrights.

C.Including various types of plays.D.Offering information on the playwrights.

3What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?

A.Control their feelings.B.Apply their acting skills.

C.Use their imagination.D.Keep their audience in mind.

4What is this text?

A.A short story.B.An introduction to a book.

C.A play review.D.An advertisement for a theater.

【题目】THE OLD FISHERMAN

Our house was directly across a popular hospital. We rented the upstairs rooms to outpatients at the clinic. One summer evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful looking man, his face lopsided from swelling, red and raw. He told me he’d been hunting for a room since noon but he had no success. “I guess it’s my face. I know it looks terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments…”

For a moment I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I could sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.” I told him we would find him a bed, but to rest on the porch. It didn’t take a long time to see that this old man had an oversized heart crowded into that tiny body. He told me he fished for a living to support his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was hopelessly crippled from a back injury. He didn’t tell it by way of complaint. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease.

At bedtime, we put a camp cot in the children’s room for him. When I got up in the morning, the bed linens were neatly folded and the little man was out on the porch. Before he left for his bus, haltingly, he said, “Could I please come back and stay the next time I have a treatment? I can sleep fine in a chair.” He paused a moment and then added, “Your children made me feel at home. Grownups are bothered by my face, but children don’t seem to mind.” I told him he was welcome to come again.

In the years he came to stay overnight with us. There was never a time that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden. When I received these little remembrances, I often thought of a comment our next-door neighbor made after he left that first morning. “You can lose roomers by putting up such people!”

Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice. But oh! If only they could have known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.
