21、Every year, the Palace of Fine. Arts Theatre in San Francisco fills up with dance lovers. They come to take in experimental works of art that all have one thing in common — hip hop. This weekend the San Francisco International Hip Hop DanceFest, the mission of which is to encourage the evolution of hip hop dance culture while preserving its legacy, celebrates 20 years of presenting exciting hip hop performances.

Each DanceFest has diversity of style and group size, and a balance of local and out-of-town companies. The festival has drawn impressive international talents. In fact, outstanding technical dance skills are only a basic standard that the festival organizers are looking for. They look for much more groups or solo artists that think outside the box. Artists that use hip hop in a theatrical way or use it to address social issues are sure to stand out. For instance, the 2010 performance “Tables and Chairs” served to highlight the negative effects of alcoholism on society, warning people against the addiction to alcohol.

It would be terribly irresponsible not to mention the founder, Micaya, in any introduction to DanceFest. A popular hip hop dance instructor, Micaya began producing high energy dance shows in the heart of San Francisco in 1993. Students love her classes so much that a San Francisco newspaper once called her “Best Dance Instructor”.

However, Micaya was concerned about the doubtful reputation of hip hop. She made it her goal to get hip hop the same recognition and respect as other dance forms. In 1999 she started DanceFest. It was the first festival of its kind to honor the creativity of hip hop dance in a non-competitive atmosphere. To Micaya, competitive formats leave little room for the magic that comes from true expression. One review said, Micaya's festival challenges us “to reconsider just how diverse ... and embracing hip hop can now be.” Indeed, Micaya brings out the best in dancers, and has given San Francisco one of its finest festivals.

【1】Why is the San Francisco International Hip Hop DanceFest held?

A．To attract international talents.

B．To encourage people to play hip hop.

C．To show the diversity of hip hop style.

D．To promote the development of hip hop dance culture.

【2】What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Handle.

B．Discuss.

C．Recognize.

D．Record.

【3】What can we infer about Micaya?

A．She was a popular hip hop composer in 1993.

B．She made hip hop dance less diverse in 1999.

C．She popularizes hip hop dance through the DanceFest.

D．She contributes to the increasing competition of hip hop dance.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．The Rise and Fall of Hip Hop

B．A Unique Hip Hop DanceFest

C．A Famous Hip Hop Dancer

D．The Development of Hip Hop DanceFest

22、   Greek myth (神话) is filled with tales of heroic strength—perhaps the most famous being that of Atlas, who single-handedly held the heavens high up in the air. In an inspiring modern-day version of Atlas, one courageous athlete recently climbed Mount Olympus—home to the ancient gods, carrying a disabled companion to the summit (山顶).

Long-distance runner Giannakos has a long track record of taking on challenges: He hiked 168 miles across the Al Marmoum Desert and he also took first place in a freezing 93-milc cross-country race in Antarctica. Before his latest effort, he’d already successfully admired the view from atop Mount Olympus’ highest peak 50 times.

When Giannakos met and befriended 22-year-old biology student Torsion and learned of her dream to experience the summit herself, it seemed only natural that he was more than ready to rise to the occasion. “For me, all international races, the medals and the distinctions so far, mean little compared to that goal,” he told the Greek Reporter.

With Torsion securely fastened in a specially adapted backpack, Giannakos, along with an eight-member support team, started the exhausting uphill climb of Olympus’s tallest summit, Mount Mytikas. When they reached 2,400 meters, the party stopped to rest. After making camp for the night, they continued with their climb at 6 a.m. the following morning. Three hours later, at 9:02 local time—having put in more than 10 hours climbing in total—the victorious pair reached the 2,918-meter summit “There is nothing more real than the dream,” Giannakos said with extreme happiness.

It’s heartening to know that while we generally think of heroes as the stuff of myth and legend, there are actually some shining examples—like Giannakos—who exist in real life as well.

【1】What can we learn from the text?

A.Giannakos turned the Greek myth into reality.

B.Giannakos successfully challenged world hiking records.

C.Giannakos is the first to run the Antarctic cross-country race.

D.Giannakos reached Mount Olympus highest peak 51 times.

【2】What do the underlined words “that goal” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Torsion’s hope to be Giannakos’ friends.

B.Torsion’s dream to experience the summit.

C.Giannakos’ effort to help disabled students.

D.Giannakos’aim to win international medals.

【3】Why did the team make camp at an altitude of 2,400 meters?

A.The team needed to stop for the night.

B.Torsion became exhausted on the climb.

C.They needed support from a rescue team.

D.They met unexpected emergency halfway.

23、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

President Barack Obama has complained about the loss of privacy that comes with being leader of the United States, regretting the loss of simple pleasures such as a long walk or a trip to the car wash or supermarket．

“I just miss---I miss being anonymous,” he said. “I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk”

His dream, he said, was to “go through Central Park and watch folks passing by…spend the day watching people --- I miss that”.

Faced with angry criticism for playing more golf than most previous occupants of the White House, he explained that the sport was simply the best way of getting away from it all. “It's the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours.” he told Hearst magazines．

Though he said he enjoyed his life in the White House, he felt disappointed with some of the ways of Washington, which he has failed in his pledge to change, such as the "kabuki dance" among political parties before serious policy discussions begin． His comments may be seen as vindication（证实）by critics who have accused him of appearing too detached（漠然）, and being slow to engage in vital issues such as Libya and the near shutdown of the US government last week．

Since arriving at the White House in January 2009, Mr. Obama has already racked up 20 rounds of golf in office, more than George W Bush did in his eight years．In terms of ability, Golf Digest magazine has ranked Mr. Obama eighth out of the 18 presidents who played the game since it became established in the early 20th century．

24、阅读理解。

There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little­known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries.

It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example，it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated(估计) to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.

What are the implications(暗指) of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state.

Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.

Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Life­long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.

Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.

To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure：there is no time to be lost.

【1】The proportion(比例)of older people________.

A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries

B. is one seventh of the population in developing countries

C. will increase much faster in China than in France

D. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

【2】According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about?

A. The diseases and disability of older people.

B. The longer life and good health of people.

C. The loss of taxes on older people.

D. The increasing respect for older people.

【3】Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?

A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

B. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.

C. Providing free health care for sick older people.

D. Supplying life­long learning programs to older people.

【4】The author concludes in the last paragraph that________.

A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem

B. population ageing is a hard problem，but it needs to be solved urgently

C. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem

D. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem
