30、s. In England in every town, someone is rehearsing, someone devising, someone performing. Winchester is a good example.

31、at theatre in the city centre and an arts centre in the outskirts seating 150. These offer a programme of visiting companies on a tour of one-night or three-to-four night stands, moving from one gathering place to another around the country, using moveable sets in flexible space. New productions of

32、classic works, ancient and modern but always live: each performance different because its different audience in a different town. The tour usually lasts the company two or three months before its time to settle down to devise and rehearse the next one. For the performer, touring is a chance to work

33、with the same people in the security of a company unit. But its also a chance to try something different night: to find out what works by actually doing it. And it doesnt always work. So what if it flops? You are on the road and perform it again in another place tomorrow. The audience will have forg

34、otten by the time you come around again next year. Each companys different, each has its own style, and audiences get to know them. But Winchester also has its own fringe (边缘 ) theatre 200 yards or so from the cathedral. This is where live theatre is conceived. The North Pole, it seats 50 to 60 peop

35、le. Here its new work, amateur and semi-professional work, sometimes slick (熟练的 ), sometimes rough and ready. At least a dozen world premieres (首次公演 ) a year: many of them short-lived, quickly forgotten, some of them best forgotten, but all of them performed in excitement and expectation, neither au

36、dience nor performer quite knowing whats going to happen. But one or two shows stick in the mind, some return reworked a year or so later the better for being polished on the live stage, some will work their way out of Winchester onto the touring circuit.

The authorities promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists were

42、certain that it would occur again within five years at the latest. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which produced varying degrees of chaos throughout the city of eight million people. In 1965, the failure occurred in the cool autumn and at a time of comparative prosperity. In 1977, the

43、disaster was much more serious because it came when unemployment was high and the city was suffering from one of its worst beat waves. In 1965, there was little crime or looting during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and loote

44、d. Looters smashed shop windows and helped themselves to jewelry, clothes or television sets. Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policemen available was quite inadequate and they wisely refrained from using their guns against mobs

45、 which far outnumbered them and included armed men. Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most businesses remained closed the next day. The black-out started at 9:30 p.m., when lightning hit and knocked out vital cables. Many stores were thus caught by s

46、urprise. The vast majority of New Yorkers, however, were not involved in looting. They helped strangers, distributed candles and batteries, and tried to survive in a nightmare world without traffic lights, refrigerators, elevators, water and electrical power. For twenty-four hours, New York realized

47、 how helpless it was without electricity. 51 Look at the first paragraph. Who were right: The authorities or the pessimists? （ A） The authorities. （ B） The pessimists. （ C） Both. （ D） Neither. 52 In what way was the blackout of 1977 not really a repeat performance? （ A） There was much more disorder.

48、 （ B） This time the electricity supply failed. （ C） It was quite unexpected. （ D） It did not occur within five years of 1965. 53 As far as maintaining the peace was concerned, conditions in 1977 were comparatively _. （ A） more favourable （ B） less favourable （ C） unchanged （ D） improved 54 What caus

49、ed the blackout in July 1977? （ A） Excessive heat probably made people switch on too many electrical appliances. （ B） Because of unemployment, some machines were not in proper working order. （ C） During a storm, lightning damaged supply cables. （ D） The passage does not mention the cause. 55 Why did many looters manage to escape? （ A） The police could not see them in the dark. （
