Washington, DC is a theatre town. Here’s where you can get the best performances and cultural experiences
offered for every taste in the nation’s capital.
Kennedy Center
Kennedy Center hosts hundreds of world-class performances each year and is home to the National SymphonyOrchestra and the Washington National Opera. The Suzanne Farrell Ballet also counts Kennedy Center as its

and has since become one of the venue’s most famous attractions.
Woolly Mammoth Company
Woolly Mammoth Company is an experimental theatre that welcomes original plays that push the boundaries
of live theatre. The New York Times has called it “Washington’s most daring theatre company”, and the half dozen

When I was 13, I climbed my first mountain--a fairly gentle 3,900-foot peak. I was overweight at the time and
out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved challenging myself. Soon I’d climbed nearly 100 peaks. My
parents were happy I’d finally found a hobby.
I often go climbing with my friend Mel Olsen. She and I drove to tackle 11, 240-foot Mount Hood. It’s safer to
start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. That day, we started at 3 a. m. At
around9 a. m., we reached an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall and sloped al a 75-degree angle. 1 volunteeredto go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step.
I gained a sense of the ice when 1 stuck my ax and crampons (鞋底钉) into it, and it felt good. Confident I was
safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a crack, and as the snowpack became thinner, a whole piece of ice
broke off the step, right under my foot.
In an instant, I fell backward, bouncing off the rock face and rolling down the mountain as if I were a character in
a video game. I remember thinking, This is it. You’re done. I stuck out my arms and legs, grabbing at anything. That
stopped my rolling down the mountain, but I was still sliding, After 2 few seconds, I came to a stop on a shallow
slope.
I asked myself: Where are you? Mount Hood. What’s the date? December 30. Good. My brain was functioning.
Then I checked my body to see where I was hurt. For the most part, I was fine, except that I was suffering from a
sharp pain in my left leg. Later I’d learn that I’d broken my femur (大腿骨) and that the bone was slicing into my
skin and muscle.
At the bottom of Mount Hood, I was loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital. The doctors told me it
would be a year before I could climb again, but I was back on the trails within six months.
4. Why did the author and her friend set out at 3 a. m. ?
A. It was the best time to enjoy scenery. B. It was more challenging to climb at night.
C. They wanted to finish the climb before sunset. D. They hoped to avoid some possible dangers.
5. Why is “a character in a video game” mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To show her strong character. B. To make her idea more convincing.
C. To help readers imagine the scene. D. To add to the humor of the description.
6. How did the author make sure she could still think clearly?
A. By recalling what had happened. B. By checking whether she was injured.
C. By calling an ambulance for rescue. D. By asking herself some factual questions.
7. What can we learn about the author?
A. She is too brave to pay attention to any danger.
B. R She has a strong desire for professional knowledge.
C. Setbacks can’t stop her from challenging herself.
D. The love for nature sets her apart from her friends.
C
Is art boring? It’s not, really. I don’t think so, at least. But there’s a problem with how we look at art, how we
approach it.Museums are formal and strangely dry. There’s no embrace. Barriers prevent us from leaving the path set by
the curator (馆长). Glass traps the paintings permanently in their frames – an invisible barrier that prevents us from
ever getting close to the art, from touching it, feeling it. Guides and guards are constantly observing us, stopping us
from taking photos, or using selfie sticks, or talking too loud. Museums have too many rules. And they’ve made our
art boring.
We should be able to see art, to sometimes touch it. How can we feel any connection to the world? Art is a
way to connect to the world, and yet so much of our art (and it is our art, not theirs, not yours — but ours) is
unreachable.
Why can’t we laugh in museums? Why can’t we take silly selfies in front of art, our tongues sticking out, our
hands in the air? Art is not boring and yet, we as a society, have made it so. We’ve trapped incredible artists behind
glass boxes, with random rules governing noise levels, lights, flashes, sounds, photos, selfies, pens & pencils.
I love art. I think it has this incredible power to change our world. It can move us — as individuals, or as a
collective society. Art is so often a window to something else. And yet we’ve allowed museums and galleries and
collectors to prevent us from ever opening those windows.
Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy art museums. There are many fantastic ones around the world. And without so
many wonderful curators and collectors, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy much of the art that is created -the
masterpieces and the newer, more contemporary (and sometimes crazy) art. But at the same time, we’ ve allowed
museums too much control.
They’ve taken our art. They’ve controlled our world. And our world, our art — it’s not meant to be controlled.
It’s meant to be experienced — however that may be. It’s an individual, personal choice. Let’s take back our art,
our museums. And take some selfies.
8. According to the writer, how may visitors to museums feel?
A. Interested. B. Unwelcome. C. Excited. D. Ashamed.
9. What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A. The writer believes that art should never be kept in museums.
B. The writer is losing his love of art due to museums’ policies.
C. The writer believes museums are taking away the power of art.
D. The writer believes that art should be replaced by something else.
10. What does the underlined phrase “get me wrong” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Help me. B. Control me. C. Misunderstand me. D. Frighten me.
11. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?A. All of us can create art. B. Museums are of little use.
C. Admission to museums should be free. D. Museums should give visitors more freedom.
D
Food is key to our daily functions by fueling our activity and supporting our bodies and minds. In space, where
astronauts face extreme environmental and physical changes, the need for safe, nutritious and energy- laden food is
particularly vital to overall health.
Space food must provide enough energy to fuel astronauts on their demanding missions, according to NASA. In
microgravity (low gravity state that makes astronauts appear to be weightless) environments, proper nutrition can
fight against the resulting degradation of bones and muscles. For example, vitamins D, K and C aid in synthesizing
(合成) calcium into bone. Meanwhile, dietary supplements like iron, omega-3 fatty acids and B12 can make up for
dietary insufficiency.
After decades of nutritional studies and food technology advancements, NASA has moved focus away from
supplements and dietary formulas (配方) toward providing as many nutrients from fruits and vegetables as possible.
However, it can be difficult to rely heavily on fruits and vegetables as a space food source because they don’t contain
many calories. This poses an issue for spaceflight, where cargo (货物) room is precious.
NASA can’t merely consider health when designing space food, though. The nutritional value of a meal only
goes so far if it doesn’t appeal to astronauts. Rather, Grace Douglas, the lead scientist for NASA’s Advanced Food
Technology research group, and her colleagues aim to offer astronauts several meal. options to avoid menu fatigue (疲
劳). Such variety also provides psychological health benefits.“ Food becomes more important with mission duration
because it’s one of the only familiar things that they have, ” Douglas says.
As space organizations look ahead to. long- duration missions, it will be key to craft a sustainable food source
that doesn’t require resupply missions. To achieve this, NASA scientists are studying the best ways to grow crops in
microgravity. On the International Space Station, astronaut s have successfully grow n a variety of leafy greens and
flowers in the Vegetable Production System, known as Veggie. Eating a fresh leafy green could help astronauts feel
connected with the distant green planet they call home.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The importance of space food design. B. The challenges for astronauts in space.
C. The general requirements for space food. D. The impact of microgravity on astronauts.
13. How do Douglas’s team enhance astronauts’ dining experience?
A. They make food look appealing. B. They rearrange the menu schedule.
.
C They provide multiple food choices. D. They conduct taste tests on astronauts.14. What can astronauts expect from Veggie?
A. A supplement to the oxygen supply.
.
B Supply of psychological comfort
C. Enhancement of the nutritional quality.
D. An improvement in communication with Earth.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How do astronauts eat in space?
B. What makes space food so special?
C. What space food will we have in the future?
D. How do scientists build the best diet for astronauts?

How to Be More Interesting
No one is boring and no one needs to be perfect. But maybe you feel that you are boring and need to be more
interesting. ___16___ If you’re looking to be more interesting, then you’ve come to the right place.
Loosen up and be natural. One reason why many people fail to become interesting people is that they worry
too much over the small things and don’t come across as natural. Their effort backfires (产生反作用) on them,
because they are just trying too hard. ___17___ Live a life one day at a time.
Be positive and optimistic. Interesting people are happy people. This is one of the reasons why we find them
so interesting; whether we admit it or not, we want to know how and why happy people are so happy. ___18___
Build an open personality. Be available to the world and look for excitement instead of waiting for it to find
you. Celebrate flexibility and a “just go with it” attitude. Often times people aren’t interesting because they are
reserved. ___19___ Of course, to some extent, this is true, but you can also take this too far. By holding back too
much, you’re limiting your potential and in the process becoming less interesting. The more reserved you get, the
more static(停滞的) your life.
___20___ Being interesting means doing things you’ve never done before and being willing to share those
experiences with other people. People who are boring and dull normally possess a very small comfort zone. So try
to constantly expand your comfort zone and dare yourself to try new things; this is the quickest path to becoming
more interesting.
A. Expand your comfort zone.B. Try to stay relaxed and flexible.
C. A good laugh could be the best medicine.
D. Being interesting also involves high intelligence.
E. Many people feel they need to hold back to protect themselves.
F. Moreover, no one really wants to be around a negative, unhappy person.
G. Being an interesting person is something that can be learned and practiced.

performance headquarters. The company—under the direction of Farrell—was first invited to perform there in 1993
and has since become one of the venue’s most famous attractions.
Woolly Mammoth Company
Woolly Mammoth Company is an experimental theatre that welcomes original plays that push the boundaries
of live theatre. The New York Times has called it “Washington’s most daring theatre company”, and the half dozen
plays Woolly produces each year continue to live up to that reputation.
Shakespeare Theatre Company
For more than 25 years, Shakespeare Theatre Company has committed itself to serving as the nation’s classical
theatre. It operates out of two spaces, including Sidney Harman Hall at the Harman Center, which seats 775, and the
Lansburgh Theatre, which seats 451. The shiny, glass-walled Harman Center showcases classic Shakespeare plays,
modern updates and Shakespeare-inspired original shows.

When I was 13, I climbed my first mountain--a fairly gentle 3,900-foot peak. I was overweight at the time and
out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved challenging myself. Soon I’d climbed nearly 100 peaks. My
parents were happy I’d finally found a hobby.
I often go climbing with my friend Mel Olsen. She and I drove to tackle 11, 240-foot Mount Hood. It’s safer to
start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. That day, we started at 3 a. m. At
around9 a. m., we reached an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall and sloped al a 75-degree angle. 1 volunteered
to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step.
I gained a sense of the ice when 1 stuck my ax and crampons (鞋底钉) into it, and it felt good. Confident I was
safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a crack, and as the snowpack became thinner, a whole piece of ice
broke off the step, right under my foot.
In an instant, I fell backward, bouncing off the rock face and rolling down the mountain as if I were a character in
a video game. I remember thinking, This is it. You’re done. I stuck out my arms and legs, grabbing at anything. That
stopped my rolling down the mountain, but I was still sliding, After 2 few seconds, I came to a stop on a shallow
slope.
I asked myself: Where are you? Mount Hood. What’s the date? December 30. Good. My brain was functioning.
Then I checked my body to see where I was hurt. For the most part, I was fine, except that I was suffering from asharp pain in my left leg. Later I’d learn that I’d broken my femur (大腿骨) and that the bone was slicing into my
skin and muscle.
At the bottom of Mount Hood, I was loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital. The doctors told me it
would be a year before I could climb again, but I was back on the trails within six months.

A. It was the best time to enjoy scenery. B. It was more challenging to climb at night.
C. They wanted to finish the climb before sunset. D. They hoped to avoid some possible dangers.
5. Why is “a character in a video game” mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To show her strong character. B. To make her idea more convincing.
C. To help readers imagine the scene. D. To add to the humor of the description.
6. How did the author make sure she could still think clearly?
A. By recalling what had happened. B. By checking whether she was injured.

Is art boring? It’s not, really. I don’t think so, at least. But there’s a problem with how we look at art, how we
approach it.
Museums are formal and strangely dry. There’s no embrace. Barriers prevent us from leaving the path set by
the curator (馆长). Glass traps the paintings permanently in their frames – an invisible barrier that prevents us from
ever getting close to the art, from touching it, feeling it. Guides and guards are constantly observing us, stopping us
from taking photos, or using selfie sticks, or talking too loud. Museums have too many rules. And they’ve made our
art boring.
We should be able to see art, to sometimes touch it. How can we feel any connection to the world? Art is a
way to connect to the world, and yet so much of our art (and it is our art, not theirs, not yours — but ours) is
unreachable.
Why can’t we laugh in museums? Why can’t we take silly selfies in front of art, our tongues sticking out, our
hands in the air? Art is not boring and yet, we as a society, have made it so. We’ve trapped incredible artists behind
glass boxes, with random rules governing noise levels, lights, flashes, sounds, photos, selfies, pens & pencils.
I love art. I think it has this incredible power to change our world. It can move us — as individuals, or as a
collective society. Art is so often a window to something else. And yet we’ve allowed museums and galleries and
collectors to prevent us from ever opening those windows.
Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy art museums. There are many fantastic ones around the world. And without so
many wonderful curators and collectors, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy much of the art that is created -the
masterpieces and the newer, more contemporary (and sometimes crazy) art. But at the same time, we’ ve allowed
museums too much control.
They’ve taken our art. They’ve controlled our world. And our world, our art — it’s not meant to be controlled.
It’s meant to be experienced — however that may be. It’s an individual, personal choice. Let’s take back our art,
our museums. And take some selfies.8. According to the writer, how may visitors to museums feel?
A. Interested. B. Unwelcome. C. Excited. D. Ashamed.
9. What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A. The writer believes that art should never be kept in museums.
B. The writer is losing his love of art due to museums’ policies.
.
C The writer believes museums are taking away the power of art.
D. The writer believes that art should be replaced by something else.
10. What does the underlined phrase “get me wrong” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Help me. B. Control me. C. Misunderstand me. D. Frighten me.
11. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?
A. All of us can create art. B. Museums are of little use.
C. Admission to museums should be free. D. Museums should give visitors more freedom.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D

【导语】这是一篇议论文。博物馆的屏障使我们无法接近艺术,他们把不可思议的艺术作品困在玻璃盒子
里,用随机的规则控制噪音水平、灯光、闪光灯、声音、照片、自拍、钢笔和铅笔。使得艺术变得无聊,
最后作者呼吁要去体验,让我们拿回我们的艺术,我们的博物馆,博物馆限制了我们接近艺术。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“ There’s no embrace. Barriers prevent us from leaving the path set by the curator
( 馆长 ). Glass traps the paintings permanently in their frames – an invisible barrier that prevents us from
ever getting close to the art, from touching it, feeling it. Guides and guards are constantly observing us, stopping us
from taking photos, or using selfie sticks, or talking too loud. (没有拥抱。屏障阻止我们离开馆长设置的路径。
玻璃将画作永久地困在画框里——这是一道无形的屏障,阻止我们接近艺术,触摸它,感受它。导游和警
卫不断地观察我们,阻止我们拍照,或使用自拍杆,或大声说话。)”可知,博物馆的这些规则会使得我
们感觉不受欢迎。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的“ Art is so often a window to something else. And yet we’ve allowed museums
and galleries and collectors to prevent us from ever opening those windows.(艺术常常是通向其他事物的窗口。
然而,我们却允许博物馆、画廊和收藏家阻止我们打开这些窗户。)”可知,博物馆使我们不能更好的接
触艺术,因此,博物馆正在夺走艺术的力量。故选C。
【10题详解】词句猜测题。结合上文及第五段的“ And yet we’ve allowed museums and galleries and collectors to
prevent us from ever opening those windows.(然而,我们却允许博物馆、画廊和收藏家阻止我们打开这些窗
户。)”和下文的“I enjoy art museums.”可知,此处作者想要表达“不要误会我”,虽然博物馆的一些做
法作者不赞同,但不是说作者不喜欢博物馆。get me wrong意为misunderstand me(误会我)。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文内容,根据第二段的“ Barriers prevent us from leaving the path set by the curator (
馆长 ). ...Museums have too many rules. (障碍阻止我们离开馆长设置的路径,......博物馆有太多的
规则。)”和最后一段的“ Let’s take back our art, our museums. And take some selfies(让我们拿回我们
的艺术,我们的博物馆。自拍一下)”可知,作者认为博物馆限制了我们太多的欣赏艺术的自由,因此,
选项D“博物馆应该给游客更多的自由”是作者赞同的。故选D。

Food is key to our daily functions by fueling our activity and supporting our bodies and minds. In space, where
astronauts face extreme environmental and physical changes, the need for safe, nutritious and energy- laden food is
particularly vital to overall health.
Space food must provide enough energy to fuel astronauts on their demanding missions, according to NASA. In
microgravity (low gravity state that makes astronauts appear to be weightless) environments, proper nutrition can
fight against the resulting degradation of bones and muscles. For example, vitamins D, K and C aid in synthesizing
(合成) calcium into bone. Meanwhile, dietary supplements like iron, omega-3 fatty acids and B12 can make up for
dietary insufficiency.
After decades of nutritional studies and food technology advancements, NASA has moved focus away from
supplements and dietary formulas (配方) toward providing as many nutrients from fruits and vegetables as possible.
However, it can be difficult to rely heavily on fruits and vegetables as a space food source because they don’t contain
many calories. This poses an issue for spaceflight, where cargo (货物) room is precious.
NASA can’t merely consider health when designing space food, though. The nutritional value of a meal only
goes so far if it doesn’t appeal to astronauts. Rather, Grace Douglas, the lead scientist for NASA’s Advanced Food
Technology research group, and her colleagues aim to offer astronauts several meal. options to avoid menu fatigue (疲
劳). Such variety also provides psychological health benefits.“ Food becomes more important with mission duration
because it’s one of the only familiar things that they have, ” Douglas says.
As space organizations look ahead to. long- duration missions, it will be key to craft a sustainable food source
that doesn’t require resupply missions. To achieve this, NASA scientists are studying the best ways to grow crops inmicrogravity. On the International Space Station, astronaut s have successfully grow n a variety of leafy greens and
flowers in the Vegetable Production System, known as Veggie. Eating a fresh leafy green could help astronauts feel
connected with the distant green planet they call home.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The importance of space food design. B. The challenges for astronauts in space.
C. The general requirements for space food. D. The impact of microgravity on astronauts.
13. How do Douglas’s team enhance astronauts’ dining experience?
A. They make food look appealing. B. They rearrange the menu schedule.
C. They provide multiple food choices. D. They conduct taste tests on astronauts.
14. What can astronauts expect from Veggie?
A. A supplement to the oxygen supply.
B. Supply of psychological comfort
C. Enhancement of the nutritional quality.
D. An improvement in communication with Earth.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How do astronauts eat in space?
B. What makes space food so special?
C. What space food will we have in the future?
D. How do scientists build the best diet for astronauts?

How to Be More InterestingNo one is boring and no one needs to be perfect. But maybe you feel that you are boring and need to be more
interesting. ___16___ If you’re looking to be more interesting, then you’ve come to the right place.
Loosen up and be natural. One reason why many people fail to become interesting people is that they worry
too much over the small things and don’t come across as natural. Their effort backfires (产生反作用) on them,
because they are just trying too hard. ___17___ Live a life one day at a time.
Be positive and optimistic. Interesting people are happy people. This is one of the reasons why we find them
so interesting; whether we admit it or not, we want to know how and why happy people are so happy. ___18___
Build an open personality. Be available to the world and look for excitement instead of waiting for it to find
you. Celebrate flexibility and a “just go with it” attitude. Often times people aren’t interesting because they are
reserved. ___19___ Of course, to some extent, this is true, but you can also take this too far. By holding back too
much, you’re limiting your potential and in the process becoming less interesting. The more reserved you get, the
more static(停滞的) your life.
___20___ Being interesting means doing things you’ve never done before and being willing to share those
experiences with other people. People who are boring and dull normally possess a very small comfort zone. So try
to constantly expand your comfort zone and dare yourself to try new things; this is the quickest path to becoming
more interesting.
A. Expand your comfort zone.
B. Try to stay relaxed and flexible.
C. A good laugh could be the best medicine.
