11、he first Special English program was broadcast on the Voice of America. It was an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language is not English. Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method would not work. They were proved wrong.

12、 The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOAAnd they still are.Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American English. And it provid

13、es listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere.Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programm

14、ing. There is a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture and environment, and on the weekend, about news events and American idioms.Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1500 words. Most are simple words that describe objects,

15、 actions or emotions. Some are more difficult. They are used for reporting world events and describing discoveries in medicine and science. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. No idioms are used. And Special English is spoken at a slower pace, about two-

16、thirds the speed of Standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English speakers understand complex subjects.Through the years, Special English has become a very popular tool for teaching English, even though it was not designed as teachi

17、ng program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. Individuals record the programs and play them over and over to practice their listening skills. In countries around the world, English teachers assign Special English to their students. They praise it for improving the

Actually, there is the endless potential benefit about it, but researchers have found one area tha

22、t being pretty makes life a challenge securing yourself a boring, low-paying job.This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process. For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in genera

23、l, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs.Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants, including univers

24、ity students and managers who make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether th

25、ey would hire these candidates for a less-than-desirable job.The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT elite(精英). In all experiments where they were asked, partici

26、pants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job.Ms Lee said, “In the selection decision for an undesirable job, decision makers were more likely to choose the unattractive ind

27、ividual over the attractive individual. Co-author Dr Madan Pillutla said, “It is interesting that decision makers consider others opinions in their decisions. They thought that attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive cand

28、idates when selecting for a less desirable job.”The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high-level jobs.1、What do people generally think of being attractive?AIt is a disadvantage.BIt is a blessing.Cit is not im

29、portant.DIt has nothing to do with jobs.2、What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?AThe participants of the experimentBThe importance of the experimentCThe process of the experimentDThe result of the experiment.3、An ordinary-looking graduate may have an advantage when applying for _.Aa managerBa proj

31、with the research?AAttractive people are more fit for high-level jobs.BLess attractive people are easy to find high-level jobs.CAttractive people can always be hired when applying for jobs.DLess attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard.23（8分）Legend has it that the performing ar

32、ts began when a Greek singer named Thespis invented tragedy.In 534 BC, Thespis was performing a hymn（赞美诗）to the god Dionysius.Such hymns,called dithyrambs,were usually sung by a lead singer and a chorus.Thespis added a speaking actor.Performances at the annual Dionysian festival soon included plays

33、with three actors as well as the standard hymns.By 449 BC,the Greeks were giving prizes to the best actor and the best playwright at the festival.A modern word for actorthespian recognizes the debt todays drama owes to Thespis.Performing in a Greek play required physical strength.Because each play h

34、ad only three actors,performers had to play several roles.Chorus members both sang and danced.Being in the chorus for the many performances given at a festival was said to be as demanding as competing in the Olympic Games.The Theater of Dionysius in Athens could hold 20,000 people.Even those in the

35、front rows were quite a distance from the actors.Performers used grand gestures and wore masks so that they could be seen by everyone in their huge audience.Tragic（悲剧的）actors wore long clothes and masks.Comic actors wore short costumes that let them move freely and masks designed to make them look u

36、gly or silly.Sometimes the chorus were dressed up to look like animals.Another legacy（遗产）of the ancient Greeks is the deus ex machina,or god from the machine.If a playwright was having trouble with the plot,he might have a god appear through a trap door（天窗）.The god would rescue the main character an

37、d find a solution to any difficult plot situations.Modem writers might not call on gods,but they do sometimes use unlikely ways to end a story.A character or an event that brings a complicated plot to an unlikely conclusion is still called deus ex machina.1、We can learn from Paragraph 1 that .Athe w

41、ides plenty of excitement for most people. But for those who like more extreme adventures, Nicaragua offers an even more exciting slide experience. The thought of racing down an active volcano with only a board is enough to get most people hot under the collar. But for thrill-seeking sports fanatics

42、, boarding down a 2,380-foot-high volcano at the speed of 80 km/h is the coolest sport around.Thousands of travelers are heading to the foothills of Nicaraguas Cerro Negro to take part in the new sporting craze (狂热). Surfers, dressed in protective jump suits, knee-pads and helmets, receive brief ins

43、tructions and then try sliding down a short slope(斜坡). After that, its time for the real thing. Sitting on their specially-constructed boards, surfers push off and fly straight down a 488-meter-long slope. The black volcanic ash provides a dusty, dirty ride. But boarders usually arrive at the bottom

44、 with smiles on their faces.Phillip Southan, owner and manager of Bigfoot Hostel and Green Pathways Tours, said, We started offering this trip in 2005 and it has become so popular. This is a unique tour as nowhere else in the world can you board down an active volcano.What we offer is a tour for eve

45、ryone with absolutely no experience. One of the greatest attractions of the tour is that you get a bit of everything. Since 2005, more than 10,000 people have traveled to Cerro Negro to give it a try.When you are on the top you will have the opportunity to stand near the crater(火山口) and see a smokin

46、g volcano. But the biggest risk is that you will take the chance of getting some scratches if you fall over.Many years of experience has taken this tour to a level where it is safe but still fun and for some people a little frightening. We are always working on ways to continue improving it for the

47、future.1、Which words can best describe the slide in Cerro Negro?ASecure but tiring.BEnjoyable but risky.CPopular but demanding.DWorthwhile but painful.2、What does the underlined words the real thing in paragraph 2 refer to?ASliding down the volcanic slope.BEscaping the black volcanic ash.CHeading to the mountaintop alone.DReceiving professional s
