Theatres of the past
The Greek theatre
Theatres developed in many parts of Greece. Ancient Greek theatres were built in natural open air
sites on conveniently shaped hills. This allowed a great mass of people to enjoy a show at a time. Due to
this, actors placed emphasis on exaggerated（夸张的）action and speech. And, colorful symbolic masks
and costumes were used.
The Medieval theatre
The Medieval theatre started in churches. That’s why medieval plays were about Bible stories. At
first, it became a custom for priests（牧师）to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter.
These acts attracted large crowds. Finally, the church refused to allow priests to participate in any such
events again, so ordinary people began these performances outside. Performances were set in the town
square, with several stage settings around it.高三级英语试题 第 2 页 共 10 页
The Elizabethan theatre
The England’s theatre developed rapidly in the years following the defeat of the Spanish Navy. The
dominant feature of Elizabethan theatre was the stage. It has three parts: the fore stage for outside
scenes; the inner stage for scenes inside a building; an upper stage or balcony for various purposes. The
reason for this design is that there were no scene changes or breaks during the play. Very little scenery
was used, so the actors had to create a scene through their voices and dialogues. This led to a more
poetic script, and poets became the main source of script writing.
The Restoration theatre
Some of the plays told sad stories, but the majority of the plays were really funny. Many specialized
machines were used to create the scene. The stage was a very clever idea, in that on the sides of the stage
large back shutters（百叶窗）were painted with the scene.
1. Why were ancient Greek theatres built on hills?
A. To hold a large audience.
B. To build a big and strong stage.
C. To have a better sound effect.
D. To emphasize exaggerated performances.
2. In which theatre could actors’ voices and speech help create scenes?
A. The Greek theatre.
C. The Elizabethan theatre.
B. The Medieval theatre.
D. The Restoration theatre.
3. What is special about the Restoration theatre?
A. Colorful masks were used.
C. Most of its plays were sorrowful.
B. The stage was smartly designed.
D. Ordinary people were the performers.

Ana, her husband Mario, and their four-year old son Antonio just moved to North Carolina. They
need a temporary place to call “home” until they get settled into their new surroundings. So, Ana figured
that she had better start looking for an apartment for them to stay in.
First, Ana picked up an Apartment Book at her local newspaper stand. The Apartment Book
contained listings of all the major apartment complexes in her area.
Ana started by looking at the prices in the advertisements for apartments in the Apartment Book.
Then, she read about the amenities that each apartment complex offered. For example, some apartments
had a clubhouse, a gym (also called a “fitness center”), and a pool. After considering prices, amenities,
and locations, Ana found a few apartment complexes that she liked.
Ana called the apartment complexes. She set up appointments with the apartment managers to see
the apartments she found interesting. Ana made five phone calls, total. “I’ll see you then,” she said to the
fifth apartment manager, and hung up the phone.
When Mario got home (to the hotel in which they were staying) from work, Ana showed him the
list of apartments. “These look good,” he said.
“Mommy, let me see,” said Antonio, whom Mario had just brought home from childcare. Ana
showed Antonio the pictures of the apartments.
The next day, while Mario was at work and Antonio was at childcare, Ana visited the apartment
complexes. After visiting all five, she found that she liked the fifth one the best. It was near a good
school system for her son, and it was near her and her husband’s workplace. She went home and
discussed it with her husband, and they decided that they wanted to rent the apartment. The next day,
they called the manager of the apartment complex and told him that they would like the apartment.
The manager asked them to sign a rental contract and pay a security deposit so that if any damage
was done to the apartment while they were in it, the security deposit would pay for it. They signed the
rental contract and paid the security deposit.
Finally, they had a place to stay.
4. Which of the following is not an amenity?高三级英语试题 第 4 页 共 10 页
A. Clubhouse. B. Fitness center. C. Pool. D. High ceilings.
5. What did Ana consider while looking through the Apartment Book?
A. Prices. B. Amenities. C. Locations. D. All of the above.
6. Why is the security deposit needed when people rent a house?
A. Because it ensures that a renter will pay the rent on time.
B. Because it ensures that a renter will not have pets on the property.
C. Because it ensures that any damage done to the apartment will be paid for by the renter.
D. Because it ensures that any damage done to the apartment is kept to a minimum.
7. What do we know about Ana?

B. She signed the rental contract on her own.
C. She bought a home for her family in Carolina.
D. Her husband worked in a hotel.

About two months ago, Xing Yan started experiencing insomnia for the first time.
“It developed suddenly. I was under heavy pressure from work at the time. I could not fall asleep at
all at night, and was wide awake until dawn. I tried not to think of the things that were troubling me and
forget them, but the thoughts quickly returned, making it even harder for me to fall asleep,” said the
bank employee from Fushun, Liaoning province.
Before the insomnia developed, Xing had regularly experienced less serious related disorders, such
as taking a long time to fall asleep. He believes his tendency to worry may be the cause of his insomnia.
In addition to feeling tired during the day, Xing feels he is experiencing the physical consequences
of insomnia, such as an unexplained stomach ache.
“I became very frightened when I realized I could not sleep every day,” said the 40-year-old, who
has been admitted to Peking University Sixth Hospital in Beijing for treatment. “I may be ruined if this
situation continues.”
In an attempt to overcome his problem, Xing plans to strictly follow the advice of his doctor, such
as getting up and going to bed at fixed times, and taking medication.
Sun Hongqiang, director of the Sleep Medicine Center at the hospital, said his team has seen a 高三级英语试题 第 5 页 共 10 页
constant rise in the number of patients with sleeping disorders in recent years.
Despite seeing about 100 patients every day, the 12 doctors at the center are unable to meet
demand, which means many patients endure a long wait before they can consult a physician, according
to Sun.
“Globally, the incidence of sleep disorders is rising,” he said. “In China, about 30 percent of the
population has sleep disorders, while around 10 percent frequently experience insomnia.”
It is unclear what is behind the rise in the number of people with sleep disorders, but the problem
may be linked with factors such as personality, brain-related illnesses and disturbed lifestyles, he added.
8. What is the meaning of the underlined word “insomnia”?
A. Being unable to sleep.
B. Staying up late.
C. Low sleep quality.
D. Taking a long time to fall asleep.
9. What’s Xing’s occupation?
A. A doctor.
B. A bank employee.
C. A student from Peking University
D. A physician.
10. What can be inferred from Sun Hongqiang’s words?
A. About 30% of the Chinese suffer from insomnia.
B. Doctors are too busy to see people with insomnia.
C. Physicians are in high demand in the battle against insomnia.
D. The causes of insomnia include brain-related illnesses and disturbed lifestyles.
11. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Insomnia –A terrible disease
B. Insomnia –An increasing incident
C. Doctors –In great demand
D. Sleep disorder –A constant phenomenon高三级英语试题 第 6 页 共 10 页

A PG-13 rating is a stricter warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their
children under age 13 should view the film. A PG-13 film may go beyond the PG rating in theme,
violence, nudity（裸露）, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R
category.
The theme of the film by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although activities
shown in the film related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the film. Any drug use
will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating,
but such nudity in PG-13 rated film generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be violence scene
in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence.
A single use of one of the rude words in a film, though only as an expletive（感叹语）, initially
requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such bad word requires an R rating, as must even one of
those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a film PG-13 if,
based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would
believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used
or because the use of those words in the film is easily neglected.
12. What is the main goal of this passage?
A. To discuss various movie ratings.
B. To explain various movie ratings.
C. To explain the difference between PG-13 and R movie ratings.
D. To explain the PG-13 movie rating.
13. According to PG-13 rating, the theme of the movie __________.
A. has little impact on its rating
B. has a large impact on its rating
C. should be entertaining
D. should be suitable for children
14. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that drug usage __________.
A. should not be allowed in movies
B. is dangerous
C. makes a PG-13 rating necessary
D. is not appropriate for children under 13高三级英语试题 第 7 页 共 10 页
15. What does a movie with two or more uses of bad words require?
A. A PG rating. B. A PG-13 rating. C. An R rating. D. An NC-17 rating.

Most of us in China are used to paying for everything with our phones. 16 At least,
this was the case for Lim Swee Say from Singapore, who found his first experience with Chinese
payment methods quite impressive. Lim was waiting in line to buy nuts at a street stall（货摊）in
Shanghai and saw other customers show their phones and take the nuts without giving cash.
17 It seems that Singapore falls behind in mobile payments. Some Chinese tourists find
it inconvenient when they have to use cash in Singapore.
18 According to Xinhua News Agency, many countries now accept mobile payment
services for Chinese tourists, with WeChat Pay covered in 13 overseas countries and regions and
Alipay over 200. It’s now common to see the familiar green or blue logos in tourist destinations
around the world, from a tiny shop in the Scottish Highlands to a huge department store in New
York.
Mobile payments are now a normal part of life in China, and the trend is sweeping other
nations. According to Forrester Research, in America, mobile payments rose by 37 per cent in
2016. 19
This may be partly because western mobile payment services require businesses to install
expensive equipment before customers can use them. 20
A. He was trying to figure out how they got paid.
B. Foreign tourists don’t like to pay with their mobile phones.
C. But in China, all it takes is a QR code（二维码）and a phone.
D. Soon after, he realized that the customers were using WeChat Pay.
E. Still, Chinese mobile payments were nearly 50 times greater than those in the US.
F. But for foreign visitors who aren’t familiar with this method, it may seem strange.
G. The popularity of Chinese mobile payments has pushed some foreign companies to accept them.

“Add Oil” is the literal English translation of the Chinese phrase “Jiāyóu” (Cantonese “Ga
Yau”), which is used to express encouragement, 41 (excite), or support to others. It’s used
in sporting events 42 (encourage) a friend, and in many other conversations!
“Add Oil” has now been added 43 the Oxford English Dictionary. The Oxford
English Dictionary entry describes the phrase as “chiefly Hong Kong English”, and
notes its
44 (early) appearance in a book published back in 1964.
Some people believe that the phrase 45 (invent) at the Macau Grand Prix（澳门汽车
大奖赛） during the 1960s, where the crowd would shout at the pit teams（加油团队） to “Add
Oil!” to the racing cars. The meaning of the Chinese characters is to add (jiā) oil (yóu), which
implies 46 (add) oil/fuel to an engine to fire 47 up.
In places such as Hong Kong, where a mixture of Chinese and English is 48 (common)
used among friends, the English phrase often replaces the Chinese characters, and this is the
reason 49
the phrase has been added to the dictionary.
The latest addition to Oxford English Dictionary is by no means a stand-alone. Other Chinese
phrases that 50 (enter) everyday English include “long time no see” and “no can do”.

Dear Mr. Smith,
How is everything going? I have some exciting news for you that the local tourism
administration will hold a photo contest named “Amazing Chaozhou”. Knowing that you have a 高三级英语试题 第 12 页 共 10 页
great passion for photography, I am writing in the hope that you can give it a try.
The contest welcomes submissions about natural scenery, attractive figures or local customs,
in which not only will people show their understanding of the city, but also they will express their
love for it. It would be better if every photo is accompanied with a title. If you are interested in it,
you’d better send your photos to ac@chaozhou.gov.cn and the deadline for entries will be
Jan.30th.
Such a great opportunity to share your precious experiences with us is it that I really hope
you won’t miss it. I’ll be more than happy to be your helper and offer my advice. Looking forward
to seeing your great works.
Yours,
Li Hua
