But can you imagine Jia and Lin singing operas in English instead of speaking poetic (有诗意的) Chinese? Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions (《红楼梦》), written by Cao Xueqin (1715—1763). Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights (剧作家). Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage. The creators considered it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.” 24. Where was the opera first performed? A. In Beijing. B. In Changsha. C. In San Francisco, US. 25. Why did the art director use water around Lin? A. To help the people better understand Lin’s character. B. To make the stage more beautiful and attractive. C.

What is the best title of this passage? A. The Classic Chinese Novel A Dream of Red Mansions B. Chinese Classic Made into an English-language Opera C. A Famous Love Story Introduced to China 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的经典名著《红楼梦》被改编成英文歌剧。创作者这样做的目的在于他们想让更多西方人了解中国的经典文化，将中国的文化传播出去。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017.”可知，歌剧首先在美国旧金山演出，2017年又来到了北京、长沙和武汉。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings...When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage.”可知艺术总监试图通过服装和舞台装饰来帮助外国人理解这些角色，他把林黛玉比作水。所以当林黛玉出现在舞台上时，她周围通常都是水，这样做的目的，当然是为了帮助观众更好地了解她的性格。故选A。 【26题详解】 观点态度题。根据“The creators considered it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to ‘have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.’”可知创作者认为向西方观众介绍中国经典作品是值得的，他很高兴“为我父母出生的土地做出了贡献”，所以他们认为他们的工作是令人满意且有意义的。故选C。 【27题详解】 最佳标题题。综合全文可知，文章报道了把中国经典文学名著《红楼梦》改编成了英文歌剧，选项B“中国经典被改编成英文歌剧”作为文章的标题是适合的。故选B。 C On a boat near Costa Rica (哥斯达黎加), a team of biologist is helping a turtle (海龟), which is having trouble breathing. And the team discovers why—there is something inside its nose. A scientist tries to extract the object, but the turtle cries in pain. Finally, after eight minutes, a long object is pulled out: It is a 10-centimeter plastic straw. The video of the turtle’s rescue (救援) has been posted on YouTube. It has attracted tons of attention to the growing problem: The world’s seas are full of plastic. Since 2000, the plastic production has been increased all around the world, but we only recycle less than one-fifth of it. A lot of this plastic waste ends up in the ocean. Most of this plastic will never biodegrade (生物降解). This ocean plastic hurts millions of sea animals every year. Some fish eat plastic because it is covered with sea plants, and it looks and smells like food. “In some cases, eating sharped pieces of plastic can seriously hurt sea animals and even cause death,” says biologist Matthew Savoca. Plastic is useful to people because it is strong and lasts a long time—but this is bad for sea animals who eat or get stuck in it. According to Savoca, “Single-use” plastics are the worst. These items are used only once before we throw them away. Such as straws, water bottles, and plastic bags. About 700 sea species have been caught in or have eaten this kind of plastic. Luckily, the turtle was sent back into the ocean. How will plastic affect sea animals in the future? “I think we’ll know the answers in 5 to 10 years’ time,” says Debra Lee Magadini from Columbia University. But by then, another 25 million tons of plastic will already be in the ocean. 28. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “extract”? A. 询问 B. 捡起 C. 取出 29. The second paragraph is mainly about ________. A. how many people have watched the rescue B. how long people have used plastic products C. how serious the plastic pollution is in the ocean 30. Why are the seas full of plastic waste? A. Because sea animals consume (消耗) plastic. B. Because more plastic is produced than recycled. C. Because plastic can be biodegraded in the sea quickly. 31. What can we know from the text? A. “Single-use” is people’s favorite. B. Plastic waste can even cause death to sea animals. C. The ocean’s plastic problem will be solved in a decade. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过海龟误食塑料的例子来说明海洋里充满了塑料垃圾及它们所带来的危害。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“there is something inside its nose. A scientist tries to extract the object, but the turtle cries in pain.”可知，海龟的鼻子里有东西，因此科学家是努力取出这个东西，故划线单词表示“取出”。故选C。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“It has attracted tons of attention to the growing problem: The world’s seas are full of plastic.”及本段内容可知，本段主要讲述了海洋中的塑料污染有多严重。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Since 2000, the plastic production has been increased all around the world, but we only recycle less than one-fifth of it. A lot of this plastic waste ends up in the ocean.”可知，因为生产的塑料多于回收的塑料，很多塑料垃圾最终进入大海，从而使得海洋里充满了塑料垃圾。故选B。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In some cases, eating sharped pieces of plastic can seriously hurt sea animals and even cause death”可知，塑料垃圾甚至会导致海洋动物的死亡。故选B。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 九年级课文重点词汇句子语法讲解过去的过去 过去某时 现在 将来 （先发生） （后发生） 过去完成时 从过去之前的某个时间点到 过去的某个时间点为止 Unit 13 We’re trying to save the earth! 课文回顾 Section A 2d Role-play the conversation.
