5.LaMar Baylor,an American performer in the Broadway musical,spends most of his time in New York City.But since 2011,he has also spent weeks in Kigali,the capital of Rwanda.There,he teaches dance to boys who live on the street.His teaching is part of an effort by the Rebecca  Davis Dance Company.The project helps young people learn more about dance and learn how to  behave in a classroom environment.
    Rebecca Davis and LaMar Baylor teach ballet to street children in Kigali,Rwanda.The  children have lost all of their families.Some have been in prison; others have sold their bodies for sex.Dance classes provide the children with structured learning and self-expression that they've never had before.
    Rebecca Davis is the founder and director of the dance company.She got the idea for the project after visiting Rwanda in 2008.There she met a large number of street children who were dancing,and she thought that dance could be used to get them off the street and into a safe place.She believes that learning to dance is a step toward education.She says children can take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow directions.
    Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding School.About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid.
    As for LaMar Baylor,he knows from his own experience how dance can lead to a better life.He is from Camden,New Jersey.Camden has sometimes been called America's poorest and most dangerous city.He now thanks dancing for saving his life.
    The Rwanda program is the largest one set up by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company,and Ms.Davis has also set up dance programs in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Guinea.About 2,000 children in the three countries have taken part in the project since it was begun in 2010.

分析 本文主要講述了由麗貝卡戴維斯創(chuàng)辦的一項(xiàng)教街頭孩子跳舞的活動(dòng),該活動(dòng)旨在幫助孩子們通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)舞蹈,適應(yīng)課堂氛圍,從而接受更好的教育.例如本文講到:通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)舞蹈,適應(yīng)了課堂教學(xué)的孩子還可以學(xué)習(xí)信息技術(shù),班上表現(xiàn)出色的男生可以獲得獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金并被送往日出寄宿學(xué)校等;文中還提到了拉瑪爾貝勒與街頭的孩子們都從學(xué)習(xí)舞蹈中得到了好處;最后講到:由于這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)很受歡迎,所以它得到了迅速發(fā)展與壯大.

解答 21.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題   根據(jù)第一段"The project helps young people learn more about dance and learn how to behave in a classroom environment.該活動(dòng)幫助年輕人學(xué)習(xí)更多的關(guān)于舞蹈的知識(shí)以及學(xué)習(xí)在課堂教學(xué)中該怎么做"可知,該活動(dòng)旨在幫助街上的孩子們接受課堂教育;故選C.
22.B  細(xì)節(jié)推理題   根據(jù)第四段"Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding School"可知,只有班上表現(xiàn)出色的男生才可以獲得獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金并被送往日出寄宿學(xué)校,故排除A; 根據(jù)第三段"She says children can take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow directions."可知,在孩子們學(xué)會(huì)了參與課堂和聽(tīng)從指示后,他們可以上信息技術(shù)課,故排除C; 根據(jù)第二段"Some have been in prison"可知,只有一些做過(guò)監(jiān)獄,所以排除D; 故選B
23.A  內(nèi)容歸納題   根據(jù)第四段"About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid.大約有30個(gè)男生獲此資助"以及根據(jù)第五段"As for LaMar Baylor,he knows from his own experience how dance can lead to a better life對(duì)于LaMar Baylor,他已經(jīng)從他的親身經(jīng)歷中體會(huì)到了舞蹈給他帶來(lái)的更好的生活"可知,他們都從學(xué)習(xí)舞蹈中獲得了好處;故選A.
24.D  推理判斷題  作者在最后一段中講述了由Rebecca Davis的舞蹈公司創(chuàng)辦的教街頭孩子跳舞這一活動(dòng)得到了迅速發(fā)展與壯大,因此可以推斷出該活動(dòng)贏得了人們的青睞,成長(zhǎng)迅速;故選D

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀本文時(shí),首先要快速通讀全文,把握文章的主旨大意;其次,根據(jù)短文后面的問(wèn)題,通過(guò)細(xì)節(jié)閱讀在文中相應(yīng)位置找到或概括出正確答案;由于22題在文中沒(méi)有原句,所以可通過(guò)排除法來(lái)做本小題.

5.Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it.It is not the amazing complexity of television,nor the impressive technology of transport.The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths,and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other's minds.This ability comes so naturally that tend to forget what a miracle(奇跡)it is.
Obviously,the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals.Of course,some animals have powers just as amazing.Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year.In Nature's went show,humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act.If we reduce it to basic terms,it's a ability for communicating information to others,by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don't have other powers of communication.Our facial expressions convey our emotions,such as anger,or joy,or disappointment.The way we hold our beads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad.This is so-called"body language".Bristling(直立的)fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals.Similarly,the bowed bead or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals,including human beings,instinctively acquire and display.Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct?If so,how did human beings acquire this amazing skill?Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function,but this doesn't tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.

72.According to the passage,the wonder we take for granted isA.
A.our ability to use language
B.the miracle of technology
C.the amazing power of nature
D.our ability to make noises with mouth
73.What feature of"body language"mentioned in the passage is common to both humans and animals?D
A.Lifting heads when sad.
B.Keeping long faces when angry.
C.Bristling hair when ready to attack.
D.Bowing heads when willing to obey.
74.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?D
A.Body language is unique to humans.
B.Animals express emotions just as humans do.
C.Humans have other powers of communication.
D.Humans are no different from animals to some degree.
75.This passage is mainly aboutC.
A.the development of body language.
B.the special role humans play in nature.
C.the power to convey information to others.
D.the difference between humans and animals in language use.
