26、 There's nothing difficult about how to act at a concert. It' s mostly just common sense: the music needs silence, so the audience keeps silence; both the musicians and the audience want to concentrate on the music, so listeners stay put during a performance.
【1】 You can breathe; you can shift your body in your chair. You can respond to the music, but your response will be inward, which means emotion without motion (运动).The basic idea is to help each other focus on the music. Making noise or walking around can distract(使....分神)other listeners, and it may interfere with (干扰)the musicians' concentration. 【2】 In other words, it's easy to forget that at a concert the performers can see and hear the audience! Your attention and silence will help the musicians to perform better. They can feel your concentration, and it inspires them to give their best.
A common concern of listeners at classical concerts, and one of the main difficulties in enjoying the music, is the terrible fear of clapping in the wrong lace. It's no wonder the audience is afraid: Classical musicians don't usually make clear what they expect of the audience. 【3】 That is to say, if the music stops, people give a big hand. But in classical music, you are supposed to wait to the very end of the very last ending before you clap.
【4】 How do you tell when a piece of music is really over? Quite often a classical piece has several sections (小节),each with its own ending, and it can be hard to tell which ending is the eventual ending, the one you're supposed to clap for. How do you know when it's really the end of the whole thing? Don't worry. 【5】
A.This can be tough.
B.You don't have to sit like a rock.
C.People are not rock, and they usually move a lot.
D.We're all used to talking and moving around while the TV is on.
E.Television provides us opportunities to appreciate classical music.
F.When in doubt, simply wait until lots of other people are clapping.
G.In other kinds of music, the audience claps whenever there's an ending.

28、Visitors to Rome can now see one of the most important private collections of ancient Greek and Roman statues (雕像). The 90 works from the Torlonia Collection opened this week in the newly rebuilt Palazzo Caffarelli, overlooking the Roman Forum.
Among the works is a fountain (喷泉) that was made in ancient Greece. Experts on ancient Rome believe the fountain once stood in the garden of the general and statesman Julius Caesar. It was already hundreds of years old.
The 620-piece Torlonia Collection is believed to be the greatest private collection of classical art in the world. It was begun more than a century ago by Prince Alessandro Torlonia. He found many of the pieces on the grounds of his family’s Roman garden Rich from a business relationship with the Vatican (梵蒂冈), the family bought other well-known statue collections.
In 1884, the prince built his own museum to show off his collection. When the museum closed in 1976, the pieces went into storage.
“The reappearance of such a collection is a very important event,” said art historian Salvatore Settis. “When I saw them for the first time, they were very emotional because I knew most of those pieces from books, but 1 had never seen them.”
The Torlonia family chose Settis to help with the difficult job of deciding which works should be shown to the public. Anna Maria Carruba helped prepare the statues for the show. “Many of these pieces were already restored from (the year) 1600 onwards. We didn’t need to work on the structure of the statues but only on the surfaces, cleaning them,” she said.
The show will stay open until June 29, 2021. It is the result of public and private cooperation among the culture ministry, the city of Rome, the Torlonia Foundation and the Roman jeweler Bvlgari.
【1】Which of the following can describe the Torlonia family?
A.Unlucky.
B.Wealthy.
C.Humorous.
D.Ungenerous.
【2】What did the prince think of his private statue collection?
A.It is a matter of pride.
B.It is not worth storing.
C.It should not be made public.
D.It should be recorded in books.
【3】What was Settis requested to do by the Torlonia family?
A.Repair statues.
B.Introduce statues.
C.Select statues for show.
D.Put off the statue show.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.An Art Show of Statues Was Held in 1976
B.People Look Forward to Seeing Famous Statues
C.Ancient Statues Reappear after Years in Storage
D.A Famous Fountain Dates Back to Ancient Greece
29、Some writers use idioms to “add color” to their writing, while others keep their text as simple as possible. In fact, while idioms may make your work appear confusing, using them correctly can explain the message and attract readers.
Including idioms in your writing is an effective way to make your work more creative. For example, if you are writing a text about money planning, you could say: “You should save your money.” Or, you can use an idiom such as “A penny saved is a penny earned.”
Idioms can also add humor to your writing in places where you may otherwise seem rude. For example, rather than writing about a character who is not smart, you could say “the lights are on, but nobody’s home.” The idiom tends to be softer and somewhat less impolite.
There are a number of idioms that can make a boring text more impressive. Are you trying to show that you agree with someone? Perhaps you could say that you “see eye to eye.” Does this happen very rarely? Maybe it happens “once in a blue moon?”
Keep the list of idioms handy as you write so you can draw from that list and include the sayings in your writing where appropriate. Be careful not to “overdo” it. Too many idioms can be upset. Also, be sure that you know the correct meaning of the idiom before you use it in your writing. Not using it in the right context can confuse readers and cause some of them to lose interest in your work.
It is easier than you think to introduce idioms into your writing. Once you get familiar with a list of common idioms, you’ll discover that getting them on paper is “a piece of cake”.
【1】Why do some writers use idioms in their writing?
A.Idioms can make their work formal.
B.Writers want to use various writing ways.
C.Idioms can make their work attractive.
D.Writings can read easier.
【2】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Great minds think alike.
C.Well begun is half done.
D.Learn to walk before you run.
【3】What does the underlined word probably mean?
A.Factual.
B.Suitable.
C.Difficult.
D.Comfortable.
【4】What’s the aim of the passage?
A.To explain idioms’ meanings in writing.
B.To encourage proper idioms in writing.
C.To introduce more idioms to readers.
D.To solve problems about idiom use.

32、阅读下面材料,根据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。
Long ago there was a king who had twin sons. There was some confusion about which one was born first. As they grew up, the king found a fair way to decide one of them as crown (皇冠) prince.
Calling them together, he said seriously, “My sons, the day will come when one of you must be the future king. The burdens (负担) of being a king are very heavy. To find out which of you is better able to bear (承担) them cheerfully, I am sending you together to a far corner of the kingdom. One of my advisors there will place equal burdens on your shoulders (肩膀). My crown will one day go to the one who returns first bearing his burden like a king should.”
In a spirit of the friendly competition, the brothers set out together. Soon they met a weak and old woman struggling under a heavy weight. One of the boys suggested that they stop to help her. The other protested: “We have a burden of our own to worry about. Let us be on our way.”
So the second son hurried on while the other stayed behind to help the woman with her load. On his journey to the kingdom, the same young man found others who needed help. A blind man who needed help to get home; a lost child whom he carried back to her worried parents; a farmer whose wagon (马车) needed a strong shoulder to push it out of the mud.
Eventually he did reach his father’s advisor. There he gained his own burden and started home with it safely on his shoulders.
