21、Essay is optional and no penalties(处罚) for wrong answers．These changes will take place in SAT college exam．The changes include the use of some words more commonly used in school and on the job instead of the words such as “prevaricator” and “sagacious”.

College Board officials said the change is needed to make the exam better representative of what students study in high school and the skills they need to succeed in college and afterward．The new exam will be rolled out in 2016, so this year’s ninth graders will be the first to take it, in their junior year．The new SAT will continue to test reading, writing and math skills, with an emphasis on analysis．Scoring will return to a 1,600-point scale last used in 2004, with a separate score for the optional essay．For the first time, students will have the option of taking the test on computers.

They also said many students who are terrified they will be tested on lots of SAT words currently can ask for help: practicing with flashcards．They know flashcards are not the best way to build real word knowledge that lasts, but when the SAT rolls around they become the royal road．Students stop reading and start flipping.

The essay will be changed in other ways, too．It will measure students’ ability to analyze and explain how an author builds an argument and it will also be up to colleges whether the essay will be required．Each exam will include a passage drawn from “founding documents”: such as the Declaration of Independence or from discussions they’ve inspired．Instead of testing a wide range of math concepts, the new exam will focus on a few areas, like algebra, thought to be most  needed for college and life afterward．A calculator will be allowed only on certain math questions, instead of on the entire math portion(部分).

Jim Rawlins, the director of admissions at the University of Oregon, said the changes will potentially help the students but it will take a few years to know its influence, after the students go on to college．He said some colleges are still dealing with questions about the changes made in 2005, such as how to consider the essay portion．The criticism of the SAT is that students from wealthier families do better on the exam because they can afford expensive test preparation classes.

The SAT was taken last year by 1.7 million students．It has historically been more popular on the coasts, while the other main standardized college entrance exam, the ACT, dominated the central U.S．The ACT took over the SAT in total use in 2012, partly because it is taken by almost every junior in 13 states as part of those states’ testing scheme(方案).

ACT president Jon Erickson said when hearing of the SAT changes, his reaction was that they could’ve been talking about the ACT now．“I didn’t hear anything new and different, so I was a little left wanting, at least at the end of this first announcement,” Erickson said .

Bob Schaeffer, education director at the National Center for Fair & Open Testing, or FairTest, said it is laudable(值得称道的) that the SAT will provide free test preparation, but it is unlikely to make a dent in the market for such preparation．He also said the new test is unlikely to be better than the current one．His organization has a database with institutions that don't require ACT or SAT scores to make admissions decisions.

22、The groundbreaking Shaoxing Opera adaptation, New Dragon Gate Inn, captures the interest of a new generation and brings the ancient art form for contemporary lifestyles back to life.

Unlike the traditional framed stage, the theater is designed as an inn, with the audience becoming guests. They sit close to the performers, engaging with them, and immersing themselves in a unique and fascinating viewing experience. “This places new demands on our performers,” said Xu Yena, who acts in the show as the A cast of Jin Xiangyu, the landlady of the inn. “We need to abandon many of the stylized movements from traditional Shaoxing Opera and learn from drama and film performances, adopting a more natural, authentic, and subtle acting style.”

Upon leaving the theater, these audience members feel a sense of satisfaction that prompts them to willingly share short clips of the performance online. The fragmented (零碎的) content of performance has generated many streams and clicks, leading to high demand for show tickets, especially among young audiences. “Now, the ticket competition has become fierce and only those with fast internet access can get them,” said Chen Lijun, who plays the important supporting role of Jia Ting.

As both Xiaobaihua (a Shaoxing Opera troupe (剧团)) and Japan’s renowned Takarazuka Revue are all-female troupes, some internet users have drawn parallels between the two, likening Chen to “China’s Amami Yuki”, a former acclaimed male-role actress in the Japanese troupe.

In response, Chen said, “All good performances are worth learning from. Our two troupes share many similarities, but there are also fundamental differences, rooted in the cultural heritage of our respective theatrical traditions.”

A report by Xinhua News Agency states that Generation Z makes up 74 percent of consumers of guochao goods or China-chic goods last year. As a cultural product, New Dragon Gate Inn has successfully won the hearts of the young generation due to the contemporary nature of the show.

“Shaoxing Opera once borrowed and learned from Peking Opera and Kunqu Opera. Today, we draw inspiration from a broader range of artistic forms and expression techniques,” Xu said.

“New Dragon Gate Inn has successfully drawn many nontraditional theatergoers, particularly young people. Seeking novelty has always been what Shaoxing Opera has been doing.”

【1】Who became a new challenge for the performers while they were acting in Shaoxing Opera?

A．The internet users making comparison online.

B．The other troupe performing more natural and authentic.

C．The audience positioned right next to the performers.

D．The guests immersing themselves on the central stage.

【2】How did Chen respond to her nickname “China’s Amami Yuki”?

A．By joyfully accepting it.

B．By objectively clarifying it.

C．By politely denying it.

D．By respectfully using it.

【3】According to Xu Yena, Shaoxing Opera has made a positive step in regaining its popularity, mainly depending on__________.

A．Adaptation and advertisement.

B．Specially designed theater.

C．Actresses’ popularity online.

D．Integration and innovation.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Generation Z Dominates The Market of Guocao.

B．New Dragon Gate Inn Returns to Live Stage.

C．Shaoxing Opera’s Modern Twist Wows Youth.

D．Nontraditional Theatergoers Flood into Theater.

24、   The shadow play is a typical traditional entertainment that has survived and thrived over the centuries. It is taken as an earliest ancestor of modern cinema.

Legend has it that more than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty was very depressed over the death of his favorite concubine (妃子). To help him get over his sadness, a minister made a puppet out of cotton and silk in the likeness of the concubine and projected its shadow on a curtain for the emperor to see. The show brought the emperor some comfort. He somehow believed the shadow was his lover’s spirit. This is thought to be the beginning of the shadow play.

One mouth tells stories of thousands of years; a pair of hands operates millions of soldiers. This is how the shadow puppeteer works. Nicknamed “the business of the five”, a shadow puppet group is made up of five people. One operates the puppets, one plays a Suona and a Yueqin, one plays the Banhu, one is in charge of percussion (打击乐器) instruments, and one sings.

During performances, “actors” are held close to a white curtain with their colored shadows cast on it by a strong light from behind. The operator plays five puppets at the same time, each of which has three threads. Ten fingers handle fifteen threads. Moved by guiding sticks, the puppets play roles with musical accompaniment. The popularity of shadow play in some way lies in the equipment being light and easy to carry, the small number of people needed for a performance, and the flexible requirements for performance places. The plays can be quite dramatic and, when it comes to fairy tales or kungfu stories, the “actors” may be made to ride on clouds or perform unusual feats, to the great enjoyment of the audience, especially children.

The design of the figures follows traditional moral evaluation. The audience can tell a figure’s character by seeing his mask. Like the masks in Beijing Opera, a red mask represents honesty, a black mask, loyalty, and a white one, betrayal.

Nowadays, the shadow play has been industrialized and developed a series of tourist products for the promotion of Chinese culture and tourism.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The origin of the shadow play. B.How to please an Emperor.

C.A love story of Emperor Wudi. D.How to make a cotton puppet.

【2】According to the author, the audience may take great pleasure ___.

A.because the equipment is light to carry B.when roles are played without music

C.because the number of the operators is small D.when the puppets give lively performances

【3】A figure comes with a white mask may suggest that this character in the story is a person_____.

A.who is honest B.who is loyal

C.who betrays someone or something D.who is responsible

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.The Rapid Development of Beijing Opera

B.Shadow Puppetry: Traditional Arts and Crafts

C.The Business of the Five: A Shadow Puppet Group

D.Traditional Characters and Masks in Beijing Opera

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

In late February, my dad asked me if I wanted to go fishing with him. I said yes. My whole family, minus one of my sisters, would be going.

On the day we left I was excited to go on the trip. As soon as we got there, I unpacked all the things I had in the bedroom. My bedroom was small and had two bunk beds on either side of the room. The room made me feel like I was in someone’s grandma’s house. It was late by the time we got to the house, so I went to bed quickly.

The next morning I got up and my dad said that we would board the boat for just something to do. As we were in the car, I noticed that it was raining pretty hard outside.

Just then another boat approached us. A man with heavy beard shouted at us, claiming that it was not a good day for boating. He warned us to go back, but we thought nothing of it. The boat was pretty nice. It had a covering over the front side of the boat and seats in the back.

We got out to the water, and the waves started to pick up a little. As we got out to the water a little farther I thought to myself,“Wouldn’t it be funny if the boat starts sinking?”

Apparently, my thought was starting to come into reality, as the waves started picking up even more. I looked at my sister with a worried look on my face. She also looked worried.

The boat started tipping more as the waves spilled into the boat. My sister and I started screaming. I looked at my dad and he had a worried look on his face too. That was how I knew that things were getting worse.

My dad usually never gets worried about these sorts of things. The water was about knee high on my sister and me. The boat kept rocking from side to side.

注意1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

My sister was now crying and my mom was yelling at us to put our life jackets on.
