Crosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in China’s tea
houses and theaters.
Audience can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin, entertained by the apprentices(徒弟) of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan – all leading crosstalk artists of years past—for only 20 yuan.
The success in Tianjin has also caused the rejuvenation(复活) of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.
Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars formed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was well-known nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances.
Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, “face and voice”), crosstalk was the chief form of comedy throughout most of the 20 century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.
Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to social issues of the time. Although there’re hundreds of traditional pieces, they are constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. It’s one of the features that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history.
“Crosstalk was in the doldrums(萎靡不振) with competition from other art forms, especially TV,” said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Art School of China( NSAS) . “But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware(意识到) of its rare qualities.”
“More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students,” said Wang. “They are sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.” 24. From the text, we can know___________. A. crosstalk first arose in Tianjin

25. Crosstalk has been a public art form partly because _____________. A. it is a popular traditional art form
B. the pieces are made to suit the times and the audience C. the crosstalkers make it return to teahouses D. the pieces contain some famous folk tales
26. We can learn that the future of crosstalk first lies in ____________. A. setting up more storytelling art schools B. beating TV and other arts
C. young people’s understanding of its value D. a strong market

An 11-year-old girl has been named “America’s Top Young Scientist” after she developed a device(仪器) that can quickly find out lead(铅) levels in water.
“I was shocked by the number of people in my hometown affected by lead pollution in water and I wanted to do something to change this,” Gitanjali Rao, a seventh grader, told ABC News.
It was after seeing her parents test the water in their own home that Rao decided to do something. “The idea just came to me when I saw how difficult it was for my parents to test lead in our water. I thought I’ve got to do something to change it,” Gitanjali said.
Gitanjali started developing her idea about five months ago. She reached out to her parents, both engineers, her teachers and experts at local colleges and universities for help. The result is Tethys, a device designed to find out lead in water. Gitanjali’s invention allows a sensor(传感器) connected to a mobile app to give an exact, almost immediate result. And it costs no more than a dollar each time!
Gitanjali presented Tethys to a group of judges this week in a live competition. She was named the grand prize winner and received a $25,000 prize.
“She really blew us out of the water,” said Dr Brian Barnhart, one of the seven judges. “The other nine kids were also so amazing, but she just stood out among them,” he added.

Gitanjali plans to continue on her goal “to save lives and make the world a better place”. She plans to spend most of her prize money on her project to make it commercially(商业上) available. She also plans to save some of the $25,000 for college. 27. Why was the girl determined to invent the device? A. To put what she had learned into practice. B. To become America’s top young scientist.
C.To improve the method of finding out lead in water.
D. To solve the problem of water pollution in her hometown.
28. According to paragraph4, one advantage of Tethys is that_________. A. it can remove lead out of water B. it can be linked to personal computers C. it is more reliable than the present method D. it is quicker and cheaper than the present mehod
29. The underlined phrase “blew us out of water” in paragraph probably means “_______”. A. impressed us greatly
B. won our great respect
D. gave us great inspiration
C. had great influence upon us
30. What does the girl plan to do with the money? A. Save it for her high school education.
B. Further improve Tethys to put it on the market.
C. Share it with the other nine top American young scientist. D. Gave it to those affected by lead pollution in water. 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
At present, traffic jam has become a major problem which most city dwellers, especially those who live in big cities have to confront(面临) in their everyday lives.
Why is traffic jam a problem? At first, owing to the fact that the vehicles keep giving off harmful gases during traffic jams, air pollution and furthermore, global warming will deteriorate（变坏）. In addition, traffic jams will affect the effectiveness of work, because the people have to spend much more time on way to office than necessary, and their work will be distracted or delayed. Apart from this, traffic jam might give rise to more traffic accidents and therefore becomes a menace (威胁）to people’ lives.
So harmful traffic jam is, the number of private cars still goes up apace. Why? Personally I think, the first reason may be the remoteness of people’s workplace. As a result, people have to choose a tool other than walk to go to work. Being flexible and relatively convenient, private car becomes a very attractive choice .Moreover, owning a private car, especially in some developing countries, is itself a symbol of wealth and high social position. In some developed countries such as USA it is also the symbol of independence and maturity. Anyway, owning and driving private cars are regarded by many people as basic human rights. Undoubtedly, traffic jam must be, and can be alleviated （减轻）by correct means .In my view, spending more money on public transportation systems may be a feasible means .Needless to say, policies which encourage people to put these systems to full use, for example, giving certain subsidies, are necessary. In the meantime, measures to restrict the use of private cars, such as levying higher taxes on cars or petrol, its fuel, or exerting more restrictions on the distribution of certificate, should be taken.
