    Tens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government
    campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.
    The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26-funded with £2.5 million of taxpayers' money-
    was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some
    in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.
    The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up
    with television talent shows. Attendances reached. 13.6 million in 2007, up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record
    year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost £470 million.
    One theatre source criticized the Government's priorities (优先考虑的事) in funding free tickets when
    pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying:"I don't know why the Government's wasting money
    on this. The Yong Vic, as The Times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices."
    There was praise for the Government's plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said:"I
    support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not
    just in London."
    Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will
    offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be
    on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.
    Mr. Burnham said:"A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired
    to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it's 'not for them'. It's time to
    change this perception."
    Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said:"The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the
    theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many
    children theatres are a no-go area."
    1. Critics of the plan argued that _____.
    A. the theatres would be overcrowded
    B. it would be a waste of money
    C. pensioners wouldn't get free tickets
    D. the government wouldn't be able to afford it

    D. involve all the young people in England

    A. Ninety-five theatres have received funding.
    B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.
    C. It may not benefit all the young people.

  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
