Snow may fall, but students won’t be able to spend the days sledding(滑雪橇). Classes will continue—online. Officials say that holding electronic workdays (e-days) will help students keep up with their studies. It will also prevent requiring students to make up schooldays later in June.‎ ‎　　Which would you prefer:spending a cold day on a computer, or sitting in school in June when you should be on vacation? Jordan Dewar, a student reporter, holds the opinion that having online work on a snowy day is the better choice, “You would be working on a day that you already planned on having schoolwork.”‎ ‎“Having extra days of school in summer can interfere with(妨碍) families’ vacation plans. Besides, what if your school does not have air conditioning? Imagine sweating through seven hours at school on a hot June day when you could have been relaxing by a pool with your family. Doesn’t an e-day sound better than that?” Jordan Dewar said.‎ ‎　　For some students, it would be easier to concentrate(专注) on e-days than on makeup days. “You can do a little work online, go play, and then come back later,” says Rachel Meyers, 12. “But on June days you would just have to sit there for seven hours, thinking about how you could be outside, so you lose focus.”‎ ‎　　There are some students arguing that it’s not fair to ditch snowy days, however. They say that snowy days give them a much-needed break. They also note that missing a day here and there is not enough to put them behind. Most students in Silver Valley School think one problem of e-days is that sometimes siblings(兄弟姐妹们) have to share computers at home. In addition, it punishes the students who don’t have computers at home. When school starts again after e-days, these students will be left behind and have to work double-time to catch up.‎ ‎　　“School budget cuts(预算削减) across the country are expected to continue into the next school year,” the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) Website states. “The school wouldn’t be able to afford both online classes and taking care of the school,” Austin Krewson, an eighth grader, says.‎ ‎　　Moreover, electricity is likely to be cut off during snowstorms. If kids don’t have power at ‎ 6‎ home, the money and the time in running the new program would be wasted.‎ ‎9.What can we learn from Paragraph 1? (　　)‎ A.Officials suggest students should have more schooldays in June.‎ B.Officials believe snowy days put students behind in their studies.‎ C.Students have to end snowy days earlier than planned.‎ D.Students won’t have sledding classes at school.‎ ‎10.The student reporter, Jordan Dewar, believes that 　　　　. (　　) ‎ A.siblings can help each other with their studies on e-days B.students can learn better on e-days than on makeup days C.having e-days in winter will save the cost of air conditioning D.students should study online when it snows heavily on weekdays ‎11.What does the word “ditch” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? (　　)‎ A.Give up. B.Put off.‎ C.Carry out. D.Pay for.‎ ‎12.The writer mentions the statement on the AASA Website to 　　　　. (　　) ‎ A.explain the reason to hold the e-day program B.show the difficulty of running the e-day program C.suggest government should spend more money on education D.stress why some students can’t afford computers for online classes Ⅲ. 回答问题 ‎　　Theatre began with the ancient Greeks.They used to have shows called “plays”, which tell a story by people acting out what happened in it.They had big theatres which were outside, and you could have up to 17,000 people come and watch it.These outside theatres were round in shape, with stone seats going down to the centre, where they had the “stage”.The Romans also built theatres, and there are several you can visit in England, Greece, Italy and Turkey.‎ Greek used to have a person to explain the story to the people who were watching, and the actors used to wear pictures on their faces, some with happy faces, some sad.‎ There were not any theatres in Europe in the Middle Ages, but groups of actors (or players, as they used to be called) travelled around the country putting on shows and singing songs in the towns and in large private houses.Many large houses from this time have a special area in it where the players would do their shows.‎ 6‎ In England between 1558 and 1603, the ruler was Queen Elizabeth I.During this time, theatres would be built outside the city walls because some people thought they were not safe places to be and that people caused troubles there.They were usually round, and people would stand up to see the show.Rich people had seats to sit on.People used to eat and drink during the show.They used to shout out to the actors and sometimes throw food at them.‎ In Elizabethan times, a theatre group had 12 men and one writer in it. Women were not allowed to be in the show, so young boys used to wear dresses and play the female roles.‎ Theatre in London today is very popular, even if tickets are very expensive.Many American stars want to perform in London, and in the last few years Kevin Spacey, Nicole Kidman and Kathleen Turner have all acted in plays in London’s theatres.‎ ‎13.Who began theatre?‎ ‎  ‎ ‎14.Where did actors put on shows in the Middle Ages in Europe?‎ ‎  ‎ ‎15.Why were theatres built outside the city walls in Elizabethan times?‎ ‎  ‎ ‎16.How many people did a theatre group have in Elizabethan times?‎ ‎  ‎ ‎17.What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎  ‎ 6‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文描写了一名转会球员刚到新环境后状态不佳,失去了斗志,在教练的支持与鼓励下最终找回信心与斗志的故事。‎ ‎1.A　固定搭配“make a deal”的意思是“成交”。 故选A。‎ ‎2.C　根据上文的“Lyle was having a hard time”可知,Lyle这段时间过得不顺利,when things aren’t going well意为“当事情进展不顺利的时候”。故选C。‎ ‎3.A　根据上文可知他最近工作不顺利,所以心情低落,应该是低着头。故选A。‎ ‎4.D　根据句意可知,他对于工作中自己表现不佳令我们失望感到抱歉。故选D。‎ ‎5.B　‎ ‎6.B　通过理解上文的“ready to fire out…”和下文的“if you still have it”可知,教练在帮助他找回原来的激情和自信——心中的那团火焰。故选B。‎ ‎7.C　根据上文的“You go out and play your very best”可知,教练鼓励Lyle把自己最佳的一面表现出来,然后决定他心中是否还有那团火焰。故选C。‎ ‎8.D　根据上文的“crying like a baby”可知,下文应该是和他一起哭的意思。故选D。‎ Ⅱ.9.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的 “Officials say that holding electronic workdays (e-days) will help students keep up with their studies.
