You know we show local arists' works right here in the cafie," pointing to the paintings hanging
on the walls.“Bring a few of your pices around tomorrow for me to look at. I'm Susan by the
way, the owner." After thanking Susan for her offer, Adriana and Mr. Marcus left the cafe in
amazement.
The next morning Adriana brought along Sunser and Mr: Marcus the two paintings of

As we continue to explore farther out into our solar system and beyond, the question of humans
living on other planets ofien comes up. Manned bases on the Moon or Mars for example, have long
been a dream of many. There is a natural desire to explore as far as we can go, and also to extend
humanity' s presence on a permanent or at least semi-permanent basis. In order to do this, however,it
is ncessary to adapt to dfferent extreme enironments On the Moon for example, a colony must be
self-sustaining and protect its inhabitants from the airless, harsh environment outside.
Mars, though, is dfferent. While future bases could adapt to the Martian environment over
time, there is also the possibility of modifying the surrounding environment instead of just Co-
existing with it. This is the process of trraforming - adjusting Mars' atmosphere and environment to
make it more Farth-like. But the bigger question is, should we?
One of the main issues is whether Mars has any native life or not and if it does, should it be
preserved as much as possible? If the answer is yes, then largc-scale human settlements on Mars
should be completely of-limits. Small colonies might be fine, but living on Mars should not be at the
expense of any native habitats, if they exist. If Mars is home to any indigenous life, then trraforming
should be a non-issue; it simply should not be done.
What if Mars is lifeless? Even if no life exists there, that untouched and unique alien
environment needs to be preserved as it is as much as possible. We' ve already done too much
damage here on our own planet. By studying Mars and other planets and moons in their current
natural state, we can learn so much about their history and also learn more about our own world. We
should appreciate the diferences of other worlds instad of just transfoming them to suit our own
ambitions.
28. What is the best title for the text?
A. Is there life on Mars?
B. Can we adapt to Mars?
C. Should we terraform Mars?
D. Are Mars and Earth So Different?
29. What does the author think we should do if life is found on Mars?
A. Ensure that it's not harmed.
B. Negotiate with the Martians.
C. Change the unpopulated regions.
D. Assess the advantages and disadvantages.
30. What does the undertined word "indigenous" in paragrapb 3 mean?
A. Complex.
B. Native.
C. Foreign. .
D. Ielligent.
31. How does the author develop his ideas in the text?
A. By referring to others' research.
B. By evaluating diferent planets.
C. By justifying the benefts of trraforming.
D. By arguing in suppopt of one viewpoint.

After 400 years, William Shakespeare (15-1616) is still widely celebrated as a great crafter
of language and playwright (剧作家). But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to
die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre. While
less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is rightly considered China's greatest playwright and is
highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jjiangxi Province, and worked as a government official
until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing, Unike Shakespeare's large body of
plays and poems, Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, A Dream under a
Southern Bough, Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion - widely considered to be his
masterpiece. In the ltter three, much of the story is told through dream sequences. Tang used
these scencs to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time. It is
a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-14) and, similarly to Shakespeare,
his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime.
As in Shakespeare's England, it became hugely popular in China, with public theatres opening in
different cities and traveling performance groups becoming common. Theatrical audiences started
to populate open publie spaces, and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place
outside palaces. However, unlike in Shakespeare's England, there was hardly any mixing of the
rich with commoners at theatrical events.
During this tine, the way in which play-texts were enjoyed, spread and performed also
changed. Iitally, Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in
book form, to be read like novels. They were seldom, if ever, performned. However, from the
mid-16th century, kunqu operan, a form of musical drama, spread from southerm China to become a
symbol of Chinese culture.
While Tang and Shakespeare lived a world away from each other, they share in common the
humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for language, a lasting popularity - and the
anniversary during which we still celebrate them.
32. Why does the writer refer to Shakespeare throughout this article about Tang?
A. To compare the writing styles of the writers.
B. To emphasize Tang's importance in literature.
C. To assess the achievements of these two great writers.
D. To examine the diferent infuences of Tang and Shakespeare.
33. What distinguishes The Purple Hairpin from Tang's other plays?
A. It docs not rely heavily on dream scenes.
B. It is widely considered to be his best work.
C. It was the only play to be publicly performed.
D. It callnged the feudal system of ancient China.
34. What characteristic was shared by both English and Chinese theatre during Tang's lifetime?
A. Music and poetry were present in most performances.
B. The popularity of public theatrical performances grew rapidly.
c. Diferent social classes ofen atended the same performances.
D. Most plays were written to be read as novels rather than perfomed.
35. Which of the fllowing would the author probably agree with?
A. Tang's plays were superior to his poems.
B. Tang is more widely read than Shakespeare.
C. Tang is the best playwright in Chinese history.
D. Tang and Shakespeare knew of cach other's works.

Dear Tom,
Thanks for your interesting question about the role of dragons in Chinese culture. I did
a little research and here are some facts that may be he Ipful.
Histor ically, legend says that Chinese are descendants of dragons, which symbolize good luck
and hi ghest power.. As a result, only the emperor could wear garments featur ing dragon desi gns
in anc ient China. Ordinary people shared the dr agons* bless ings thr ough ce lebr ations. such as
the Duanwu Festival's dragon boat races and dragon dances per formed dur ing Chinese New Year.
Dr agons have also entered our dai ly vocabulary. "I wish you the spirit andvigor of a dragon"is
one common idiom used to convey wishes for good hea Ith.
I hope this information is useful for your presentation. If you have further questions, fee !
free to ask. .
Yours,
