16．It is not a good idea to interrupt the actor Richard Griffiths in the middle of a play．During the past year he has stopped performances at the National Theatre when mobile phones have gone off，and he threw one member of the audience out of a West End play for failing to switch off his phone．
So when a mobile rang out for the third time during his performance as Hector，a teacher，in Alan Bennett's The History Boys at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York，he spoke angrily："I am not going to compete with these electronic devices"．
Griffiths'actions led a debate in the UK theatre world over whether phones should be forbidden by law from British theatres，too．Actors are already asking the government to legalise （使合法化） the use of electronic screening （屏蔽） devices to block mobile phone signals from theatres．
Technology companies market"blocking"devices that send out a high-powered signal on the same frequency （频率） as a mobile phone，occupying all the available spectrums （频谱）．
But these are forbidden in many countries because they might prevent emergency calls from being made．
Rosemary Squire，president of the Society of West End Theatre and co-founder of the Ambassador Theatre Group，which operates 12West End theatres，said，"Phones are one of the biggest operational problems theatres face．We should look for equipment that could block phones or make a London-wide theatre rule．"
Nick Allott，the managing director of Sir Cameron Mackintosh's theatre group，said，"We would all welcome some ways of preventing ringing phones，but doctors and emergency workers need to be paged in a theatre and we mustn't prevent that．"

47．The first two paragraphs are written toC．
A．tell us why Griffiths was angry
B．blame Griffiths for his bad behavior
C．introduce the topic the passage will talk about
D．advise us to turn off the mobile phones in public places
48．According to the passage，"blocking"devicesB．
A．have the same functions as mobile phones
B．prevent the mobile phones being used properly
C．cause the biggest problem theatres have to face
D．help make emergency calls
49．The underlined word"paged"in the last paragraph can be replaced byC．
A．prevented
B．protected
C．called
D．forbidden
50．What will probably be talked about following the last paragraph？C
A．Griffiths'next performance in theatres．
B．The ways to solve the problem the public places face．
C．The opinions the public have about the problem．

15．The slogan （口号）"a dog is for life，not just for Christmas"has been going strong for 27years now．Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the UK and Europe for many years．But some people still haven't quite got the message．
The slogan still holds good．Some 105，000dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned （遗弃），many of them shortly after the festival season．
The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give； behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given．
But Eleanor Silk，the Trust's communications director，says，"It's often four or five months after Christmas，in early summer，when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active，or it hasn't been trained properly and has caused damage around the home．"
In any case，some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy （小狗） as a pet，Christmas is not the time to do it．Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings，to be introduced to a routine （惯例），and to be looked after like small children．It's hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas．What's more，pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children：it encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy，rather than a responsibility．
Appreciating what you're taking on with a dog can be a sobering （清醒的） realization．"For life"means thinking about the effect they will have on your life．It also infers you will need to care for the dog for its entire life．

43．What would be the best title for the passage？D
A．Dogs and cats--the most popular Christmas gifts．
B．A pet is for life，not just for Christmas．
C．How to take care of your pets over Christmas．

A．given out as gifts
B．thrown away
C．raised to make money
D．gathered into one place

A．bow to take best care of Christmas'pets
B．the right time to have a puppy as a pet
C．the reasons why Christmas is not the time to get a pet
D．the worries about Christmas pets from organizations that help pets．

14．Watching the Northern Lights shining on the sky's natural canvas may be on your list already，but be prepared to up the money．
A developer is creating a floating，snowflaked-shaped glass hotel from which guests can stare in fear at the Northern Lights from their beds．The project is called Krystall．Eighty-six luxury rooms will be covered within a glass structure alongside conference rooms and a spa（温泉），all of which is only accessible by boat．
The stationary （静止的） hotel will be built near in northern Norway reportedly between bays．It will be constructed，in pieces，in dry docks，before being fit together on location．
Explaining the physics and design of the hotel，Kone Olthuis，Dutch architect and founder of Waterstudio，a specialist in floating structures，said："The floating base is very big and because of that also very stable．You will not notice any movement．Different to any vessel （舰）this hotel is a floating building and will not move．The shape provides most of the stability but cables are used to take away any speed．"
"Same look and feel as a land based hotel but then on the most beautiful spot on the water．The hotel is not connected to land so all the things will be provided by boats．"
According to Mr Olthuis，who wouldn't tell the actual cost of the project，the budget is 15per cent more than it would have been if it were built on land．He said that an important thing to the hotel's construction was for its creation to be"scarless"on the perfect environment surrounding it．
"We call it a scarless development．If you take it away after a hundred years or so it will not leave any physical footprint．That is the only way to bring developments to such a valuable and beautiful marine environment in Norway．"
It is hoped that the hotel will be"self-supporting sustainable"using top of the range technology，helping to support the"growing eco-tourism market．"
"Dutch Docklands has learned to live with the water instead of fighting it，"the firm states．"Floating houses are common in the Netherlands but we took that technology abroad and scale it up in size．"
