【題目】Plays are an important part of British culture. The West End theatre district in London is the best place to watch a professional play, but acting also takes place in every school and village hall across the country.

There are over 2,500 non-professional drama groups in the UK today and they are an active part of community life. people from all walks of life take on acting roles in addition to their regular jobs. They do it for fun, for the love of acting and as a way to meet new people.

Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm(熱情)is considered to be more important than talent. Friends, family members and neighbours enjoy getting together to watch the final performance and telling the people they know to “break a leg(走運)”. It’s a great way of bringing communities together. Also, in many rural parts of Britain, non-professional theatre is the only chance people have to see plays for miles around.

Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play at least once per year, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform. Ask any British person and they’re sure to have happy memories of being in their school’s Christmas play, whether they played the role of Mary or Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey.

Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomime(舞劇). Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families .the audience is encouraged to participate in the performance-singing along with the music and shouting to the actors. Pantomimes are really fun to watch, especially for children.

British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing. If you have the chance, go and see a play in the UK.

【解析】戲劇是英國文化的一個重要組成部分。本文講述了在英國，非專業(yè)的戲劇表演深受人們歡迎。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm(熱情)is considered to be more important than talent.得知文章所述，熱情對于戲劇俱樂部的演員來說最重要。故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomime(舞劇). Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families .the audience is encouraged to participate in the performance-singing along with the music and shouting to the actors.得知舞劇的特殊之處在于觀眾可以和演員互動表演。故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play at least once per year, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform.得知大多數(shù)英國人在學(xué)校經(jīng)常參加戲劇表演。故選C。

（2）主旨類。概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段開頭再看全文找主題句，若無明顯主題句，就通過關(guān)鍵詞句來概括(如議論文中尋找表達作者觀點態(tài)度的詞句，記敘文尋找概括情節(jié)和中心的動詞或反映人物特點的形容詞)。文中出現(xiàn)兩種或兩種以上的不同觀點時，務(wù)必牢記作者的觀點才是體現(xiàn)全文中心的。此時，要注意一些轉(zhuǎn)折詞，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。當(dāng)文章中表示相反的觀點時，往往用到這些詞。答題時要弄清哪個是作者的觀點，排除迷惑性信息，準(zhǔn)確歸納主旨大意。

4.D【解題剖析】此題屬于主旨大意中的（2）一一主旨類。答案需要理解文章后歸納文章中心。

【答案定位】根據(jù)最后一段British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing.得知在英國，非專業(yè)的戲劇表演深受人們歡迎。

【推理關(guān)系】題干What is the article mainly about?文章內(nèi)容根據(jù)最后一段British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing.得知概括總結(jié)主要講的是在英國，非專業(yè)的戲劇表演深受人們歡迎。

Explain why your decision is good for everyone.

【5】

Conclude with a statement of goodwill(友好). You may have rejected this application, but if you intend to consider this person for another job in the future, you may express that as well. However, that isn’t always necessary. In some situations such endings might offend(冒犯) the reader.

A. End on a positive note

B. Make your decision as soon as possible

C. Never give away what you are going to do

D. Briefly state how you came to your decision

E. A rejection letter doesn’t have to be necessarily long
