You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic 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 book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbreaking tragedy that everyone would understand.
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 Westen audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.”
21.Where was the opera first performed?
A.In Beijing. B.In Changsha.
C.In San Francisco, US. D.In Wuhan.
22.What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions from Paragraph 4?
A.It is mainly about the rise and greatness of the Qing Dynasty.
B.It tells the happy-ending love story between Jia and Lin.
C.The book has seven characters in total.
D.The book is long and rich in characters.
23.Why did the art director use water around Lin?
A.To help the audience better understand Lin’s character.
B.To make the stage more beautiful and attractive.
C.To show the importance of water in Chinese culture.
D.To suggest the sad ending of Lin and Jia.
24.What do creators of the opera think of their job?
A.Difficult and unbelievable. B.Stressful and tough.
C.Painful and challenging. D.Meaningful and satisfying.
25.What is the best title of this passage?

C(2024·四川广安·三模)
You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic 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 book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbreaking tragedy that everyone would understand.
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 Westen audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.”
21.Where was the opera first performed?

【答案】
36.the most famous 37.a 38.interesting 39.has published 40.himself 41.carefully 42.causes 43.Although/Though 44.disadvantages 45.from
【导语】本文主要介绍了《小屁孩日记》的内容、作者的创作目的和创作过程以及孩子们喜欢它的原因。
36.句意:它可能是世界上最著名的日记。根据“in the world”可知,此处应用形容词“famous”的最高级“most famous”,形容词最高级前面需加定冠词“the”。故填the most famous。
37.句意:Greg从他妈妈那里得到一本日记。“diary”是可数名词单数,因此前面需用不定冠词,泛指一个,“diary”是辅音音素开头的单词,因此此处应用不定冠词“a”。故填a。
38.句意:在这本书里,他记录了他在学校里有趣的日常生活。此空修饰后面的名词“life”,因此应用“interest”的形容词“interesting”,表示“有趣的”。故填interesting。
39.句意:自从2007年以来,他已经出版了12本小屁孩的书。根据“since 2007”可知句子应用现在完成时,主语“He”是第三人称单数,因此助动词用“has”,动词需变为过去分词“published”。故填has published。
40.句意:他自己也画漫画。主语是“He”,此处和主语指同一人,应用“he”的反身代词“himself”,表示“他自己”。故填himself。
41.句意:经过多年精心设计角色和创造笑话,Kinney在2006年出售了《小屁孩日记》系列的手稿。此空修饰动词“designing”,应用“care”的副词形式“carefully”。故填carefully。
42.句意:他有很多有趣的想法,但是他一直在制造麻烦。根据“all the time”和前句“He has…”可知此处应用一般现在时时,主语“he”是三单,因此此处应用“cause”的三单形式“causes”。故填causes。
43.句意:虽然这些书不会教你应该做什么,但它们会用有趣的笑话激励你。分析句子之间的关系可知,此句应表示让步,因此用“although/though”,表示“虽然”,引导让步状语从句,位于句首首字母需大写。故填Although/Though。
44.句意:Kinney赋予了Greg这些缺点,他说,这样孩子们可以从Greg的错误中学习。根据后句“so children can learn from Greg’s mistakes”可知此处应用“advantage”的反义词“disadvantage”,表示“缺点”,前面有“these”修饰,因此应用复数形式“disadvantages”,故填disadvantages。
45.句意:Kinney赋予了Greg这些缺点,他说,这样孩子们可以从Greg的错误中学习。根据“learn…Greg’s mistakes”可知此处应用介词“from”,“learn from”表示“向……学习”。故填from。

【答案】例文
Dear Bill,
Everything is fine and I’m crazy about the book called The Little Prince recently, by the French writer Antoine de saint-Exupery.
The book describes a story about a pilot who has crashed in the desert while he is trying to fix his plane, the little prince tells his adventures to the pilot, and the two become good friends. One of the most memorable characters is a rose, which the little prince falls in love with. The book makes me think a lot about life and death, love and responsibility, friendship and loneliness. Personally, it’s a touching book that is still read and loved by people all over the world.
Hope you enjoy it!
Li Ping
