Authors wrote plays for the masses, especially those who couldnt read

11、 or write.The theatre changed a lot during Shakespeares lifetime. The authorities didnt like it and didnt allow acting in the city itself: They thought it had a bad influence on people and kept them from going to church. Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, loved acting and helped the theatre become

12、popular.The theatre in Shakespeares time was full of life. People did not sit all the time and it was not quiet during the performance. The audience could walk around, eat and drink during the play.Theaters were open arenas or playhouses that had room for up to three thousand people. There was almos

13、t no scenery because the dialogue was the most important part of the play. Colourful and well-designed costumes were very important and told the people about the status of a character. Women never performed in plays, 80 young boys played female characters. The performances took place in the afternoo

14、n because it was too dark at night.There was no stage crew as there is today. Actors had to do everything themselves-from making costumes to setting the stage. Plays were organized by acting companies. They performed about 6 different plays each week because they needed money to survive. They had al

15、most no time to rehearse (排練).The companies in Shakespeares time had a rank system. The company belonged to shareholders and managers. They were responsible for everything and got most of the money when the company was successful. Sometimes they even owned their own buildings. Actors worked for the

19、a young adult, he worked for his fathers construction company. Back then, he dreamed of a day when robots might take over the dirty, repetitive（重復(fù)的）parts of his job, such as earth moving. Years later, Ready-Campbell left his job as an engineer with Google to make that dream come true.Ready-Campbell

20、formed a company called Built Robotics, which develops technology to produce self-driving heavy equipment. Ready-Campbell says the companys goal is to make construction safer, faster and less costly. The construction industry struggles to find skilled workers and faces a growing number of unfinished

21、 projects. But self-operating machines are changing the nature of building.Workers at Berich Masonry in Englewood, Colorado, recently spent several weeks learning how to operate a robot called SAM, or the Semi-Automated Mason. SAM is a $400,000 machine from the company Construction Robotics, It can

22、lay 3,000 bricks in eight hours. Thats several times more than a human bricklayer can do in the same period. But humans are still needed to load bricks into the SAM and make sure it works right. Bricklayer Michael Walsh says the SAM lessens the load on his body. But he doesnt think it will take his

23、job.Brian Kennedy agrees, too. His organization supports the rights of construction workers in the United States and Canada. Kennedy says the union is not worried that machines will replace human workers any time soon.The rise of construction robots comes as the building industry faces a severe decr

24、ease in labor supply. One recent study showed that 70 percent of construction businesses have a difficult time finding skilled workers. Mike Moy heads a mining operation for the building materials supplier Lehigh Hanson. He says its difficult to find people who even know how to operate some of the n

28、 DTheir poor working conditions.23（8分） Three boys were enjoying themselves in their hometown of Bovina, Mississippi. However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齒乳象).Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bon

29、e in a piece of earth that was recently plowed (犁、耕). “I thought it was a log,” Caid said. “I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it.” The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective

30、 strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone.“They didnt expect to find that,” Michaels mom said. “Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what theyre digging up when they are digging and playing.”“Weve gotten a lot of petrified (石化的

31、) wood and Civil War relics from the area and thats what I thought it was,” the brothers mother said. “This is our first set of teeth weve found. So we thought it was their imagination. We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination.”They were exploring near the brothers home. Lo a

32、nd behold (真想不到), they saw what they thought resembled a fossil. It was the curator of paleontology (古生物負(fù)責(zé)人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a “very mature individual.”The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times. Th

36、 “Very Mature Individual”DUnexpectedly Discovering Mastodon Jawbone24（8分）I recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad Max, a film where two groups race through the desert in steampunk vehicles, and wrote, “Actual picture of my way to work today.” It was meant to be a joke because of th

37、e sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.I couldnt imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I dont know how I will be able to deal when I

38、 go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “Ive become so spoiled in China.”China seems to be leading the way in innovation(創(chuàng)新) and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.There have been rumors of starting

39、 bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way.Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers. Splitting bills and swi

40、ping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with Chinas WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill.The list goes onWhen I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someo

41、ne asks me when Im coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”While my friends think I am riding through the desert on a motorbike, I am actually taking a Didi for what is the equivalent of $5 in the US.With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.1、Whats the function

45、started teaching people how to “escape from rooms”.Room escape is a real-life adventure game, during which “imprisoned” players are required to escape from “dungeons”, “prisons” and mysterious cells by solving puzzles and connecting clues in a fixed period of time. Stress relief is one of the major

46、reasons why these games are so popular. Mixed with excitement, challenges and fear of the unknown, the game allows people to play different roles and experience another life for a short time.Room escape has become popular in China, attracting people from all walks of life. The games often require gr

47、oup thinking, making it a good alternative for company team-building activities.Ye Kai works for a film production company. He and colleagues recently took on a room escape game called “Assassin”, and only made it out “with the help of everyone”.“The game gave me a strong sense of involvement and te

48、amwork,” Ye said. “I will definitely come back and try other themes.”In Shanghai alone, more than 200 locations offer these adventures. Across the country thousands of such escape rooms with various themes have sprung up.But escape games are not without their critics. According to a report, a venue

49、(場館) opened in a basement in a residential area in Shanghais Jingan district recently, attracting a large number of devotees (熱愛者) to the area. As the door to the community is now constantly open, some residents have been left annoyed. “How can our safety be guaranteed if they allow these random str

50、angers into our community freely?” one of the residents complained.“We are thinking about employing security guards at the entrance to check on our customers,” the game developer said. “We want people to have fun. It was never our intention to disturb the neighborhood.”1、Room escape games are popula
