But can you imagine two people singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese? Recently, the novel has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan. It is welcomed by audiences (观众) at home and abroad. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters (章) and hundreds of characters. But the opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Huang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin instead of the rise and fall of the Jia family and tried to write a heart-breaking tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand. The art director, Timmy Yip, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings (布景). He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her. It isn’t the first time that they have made an opera adapted (改编) from Chinese literature. The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences, spreading Chinese culture to the world. They are happy to have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where their parents were born. 28．What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions? A．It is long and there are many different characters. B．It was written by David Henry Hwang. C．It is a classic Chinese opera known all over the world. D．It tells a love story between Jia and Lin with a happy ending. 29．In which sentence does the word “land” have the same meaning as the underlined one? A．The land was dry and hard after the long and hot summer. B．It isn’t clear whether the plane went down over land or sea. C．As a plane fan, he often goes to see planes land and take off. D．Those heroes help people in danger and protect their land in time. 30．What do the creators of the opera think of their job according to the passage? A．Tiring and boring. B．Satisfying and meaningful. C．Difficult and unbelievable. D．Exciting and surprising. 31．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The Rise and Fall of the Jia Family B．The Opera of A Dream of Red Mansions C．Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu Sing Foreign Opera D．The Love Story Between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu 【答案】28．A 29．D 30．B 31．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了《红楼梦》被改编为英文歌剧的相关情况，包括歌剧的创作、呈现方式及创作者的理念。 28．细节理解题。根据“The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters.”可知，《红楼梦》篇幅长且有很多不同的人物。故选A。 29．词句猜测题。根据“They are happy to have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where their parents were born.”可知，文中划线land指“国家、故土”，选项D中“protect their land”的land也表示“国土、故土”，与划线词含义一致。故选D。 30．细节理解题。根据“The creators consider it to be a meaningful job…They are happy to have made a contribution”可知，歌剧创作者认为这份工作是令人满意且有意义的。故选B。 31．最佳标题题。根据“Recently, the novel has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan…Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures…”可知，文章围绕《红楼梦》改编的英文歌剧展开，介绍了歌剧的创作、演出等内容，选项B“《红楼梦》歌剧”能概括文章核心。故选B。 C When you’re in school, balancing your social (社交) life with your schoolwork can be hard. In truth, the real balance comes in being more efficient (高效的) with the time you have. Here are some tips for you to achieve a great balance. ■ Being Efficient with Schoolwork.

B You must have read or heard of the love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, which is from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions written by Cao Xueqin. But can you imagine two people singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese? Recently, the novel has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan. It is welcomed by audiences (观众) at home and abroad. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters (章) and hundreds of characters. But the opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Huang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin instead of the rise and fall of the Jia family and tried to write a heart-breaking tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand. The art director, Timmy Yip, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings (布景). He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her. It isn’t the first time that they have made an opera adapted (改编) from Chinese literature. The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences, spreading Chinese culture to the world. They are happy to have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where their parents were born. 28．What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions? A．It is long and there are many different characters. B．It was written by David Henry Hwang. C．It is a classic Chinese opera known all over the world. D．It tells a love story between Jia and Lin with a happy ending. 29．In which sentence does the word “land” have the same meaning as the underlined one? A．The land was dry and hard after the long and hot summer. B．It isn’t clear whether the plane went down over land or sea. C．As a plane fan, he often goes to see planes land and take off. D．Those heroes help people in danger and protect their land in time. 30．What do the creators of the opera think of their job according to the passage? A．Tiring and boring. B．Satisfying and meaningful. C．Difficult and unbelievable. D．Exciting and surprising. 31．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The Rise and Fall of the Jia Family B．The Opera of A Dream of Red Mansions C．Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu Sing Foreign Opera D．The Love Story Between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu C When you’re in school, balancing your social (社交) life with your schoolwork can be hard.
