考点规范练10(必修2　Unit 5) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A A French Canadian design group has greatly improved the classic swing set.Created by Montreal-based group Daily Tous Les Jours,The Swings is a large set of multicolored seats that emulate(仿真) a range of musical instruments as people swing.However,there is one rule required to reach the activation(活化、活性化) of The Swings—people must cooperate.When users work together to swing in unison(一致地),they are rewarded with a perfectly pleasant tune. “The Swings is a game where,from the start,you need to adjust to the actions of others,”Mouna Andraos,Daily Tous Les Jours founder,said. The Swings made its first American appearance at the Green Box Arts Festival,in Green Mountain,Colorado,last summer.After being awarded a grant(经费) from the Knight Foundation,The Swings will have month-long stays in Charlotte,North Carolina;Macon,Georgia;Philadelphia;and San Jose,California,over the course of the next year.Currently,The Swings is in storage until the first city of the tour has been designated(指定). The project began in 2011,when the Montreal entertainment district was looking for a way to attract visitors.Daily Tous Les Jours worked alongside a musical composer and a biology professor to create “the magic of collective music making”,and the end result was swinging musical chairs.The Swings generated(产生,导致) attention from other cities,which led Daily Tous Les Jours to apply for a grant to take the swing set on the road. Daily Tous Les Jours hopes that,in addition to bringing joy to these four cities,The Swings will promote community interaction and cooperation.This could also eventually lead to positive socio-economic changes within each city. “We want to observe how the positive interactions made by The Swings can help communities,neighborhoods and local businesses,”Andraos said.“Cooperation is at the heart of this operation.” 1.What is most special about The Swings? A.It is colorful. B.It is very large. C.It is a swing set. D.It is able to play music. 2
