【解析】

试题分析:句意:我的父亲把我叫醒,告诉我去看足球比赛的时候是半夜。这里的it指的是时间。when引导时间状语从句。容易想成是强调句式,不过可以用去掉it was...that的方法看是否句子合理,如果句子不完整,就说明不是强调句式,强调句式一个强调一个句子成分,所以如果在the middle前加in就是强调句式的;as意为:因为、正如、尽管等;which哪一个;故选D。

考点:考查从句连词的用法。

Like most people, I have grown up hearing the story Cinderella, in which a young girl lived with her cruel stepmother and suddenly had her life changed by a kind fairy and a smart prince. So when to see Rodger & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, which is now playing on Broadway, I was very excited, As soon as I sat down, I noticed the trees lining the stage ,which gave it a magical appearance. The orchestra started to play and the lights became dark as the show began.

I loved the entire performance. Everything and everyone on stage seemed like they had just jumped off the pages of the beloved story.

It turns out that the Broadway experts agree with me. The show has received nine Tony nominations(提名). Tony awards are the top prizes for Broadway shows. Laura Osnes, who plays the role of Cinderella, has been nominated for the Tony for best actress in a musical.

How similar is the show to the story of Cinderella you know? The answer, of course, depends on which version of the story you’ve seen or read. In an interview with TIME FOR Kids, Osnes pointed out that many people are familiar with the Disney movie version. There are some differences between that movie and the Broadway show. For one thing, the stepmother and the sisters are not as cruel in the show as in the movie. Also, in the Broadway version, when Cinderella escapes from the dancing party, she picks up her shoe after dropping it. So how does the prince find Cinderella again? You’ll have to see the show to find out!

I just think anyone would enjoy this play, including both kids and adults. The attention to detail is amazing. In my opinion, this play deserves a double thumbs-up!

Individuality is the particular character, or aggregate (total) of qualities that distinguishes one person or thing from others. Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators (改革者) even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to get rid of all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed (称赞).

Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.

First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movement that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (高超技巧) shown by complex, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.

Her second contribution lies in dance costume. She rejected ballet shoes and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian (希腊式的) tunes, bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.

Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.

She was as exciting and eccentric (怪异) in her personal life as in her dance.

1.According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan?

A.Something to conquer. B.A model for movement.

C.A place to find peace. D.A symbol of disorder.

2.Compared to those of the ballet, Isadora Duncan’s costumes were less _________.

A.costly B.colorful

C.graceful D.restrictive

3.Which of the following is not mentioned as an area of dance that Duncan worked to change?

A. The stage set. B. The music.

C. Costumes. D. Movements.

4.We can infer from the passage that the author _________.

A. appreciates modern dance very much

B. dislikes Isadora Duncan’s dance

C. thinks highly of individuality

D. knows a lot about modern arts

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Artists of the Last Century

B.Evolution of Dance in the 20th Century

C.Natural Movement in Dance

D.A Pioneer in Modern Dance

So you thought the hamburger was the world’s most popular fast food? After all, McDonald’s Golden Arches span the globe. But no, there is another truly universal fast food, the ultimate(极好的)fast food. It’s easy to make, easy to serve, much more varied that the hamburger, can be eaten with the hands, and it’s delivered to your front door or served in fancy restaurants. It’s been one of America’s favourite foods for over 50 years. It is, of course, the pizza.

It’s kind of silly to talk about the moment when pizza was “invented”. It gradually evolved over the years, but one thing’s for certain—it’s been around for a very long time. The idea of using pieces of flat, round bread as plates came from the Greeks. They called them ‘plakuntos’and ate them with various simple toppings such as oil, garlic, onions, and herbs. The Romans enjoyed eating something similar and called it ‘picea’. By about 1000 a.d. in the city of Naples, ‘picea’ had become ‘pizza’ and people were experimenting with more toppings: cheese, ham, anchovies, and finally the tomato, brought to Italy from Mexico and Peru in the sixteenth century. Naples became the pizza capital of the world. In 1889, King UmbertoⅠand Queen Margherita heard about pizza and asked to try it. They invited pizza maker, Raffele Esposito, to make it for them. He decided to make the pizza like the Italian flag, so he used red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese, and green basil leaves. The Queen loved it and the new pizza was named ‘Pizza Margherita’ in her honour.

Pizza migrated to America with the Italians at the end of the nineteenth century. The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 at 53 Spring Street, New York City, by Gennaro Lombardi. But the popularity of pizza really exploded when American soldiers returned from Italy after World WarⅡ and raved about ‘that great Italian dish’. Americans are now the greatest producers and consumers of pizza in the world.

1.When did pizza become really popular in the United States?

A. After 1945. B. At the end of nineteenth century.

C. In 1905. D. In 1889.

2.What do the Italian flag and a Pizza Margherita have in common?

A. There is a picture of a Pizza Margherita on the flag.

B. They have the same colours.

C. Both of them represent Italy.

D.They are as popular as each other in Italy.

3.Which one is the correct timeline of the evolvement of pizza?

A. pizza, plakuntos, picea

B. picea, plakuntos, pizza

C. plakuntos, pizza, picea

D. plakuntos, picea, pizza

4.Why are Mexico and Peru important in the development of pizza?

A. Because pizza was invented in these countries.

B. Because the people in these countries are the greatest consumers of pizza in the world.

C. Because one kind of toppings was brought to Italy from these countries.

D. Because pizza first became popular in these two countries.

5.Which one is the best title for the passage?
