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
A．The Classic Chinese Novel A Dream of Red Mansions
B．Change a Chinese Classic into a Foreign-language Novel
C．Chinese Classic Made into an English-language Opera
D．A Famous Love Story Introduced to China

阅读下面的短文，从文后所给的选项中选择合适的小标题填入（选项中有一项是多余选项）。
Many people are under great pressure these days. Here are some tips that can help us lower the pressure.
26
Yoga can be used to help us calm our minds and reduce stress. Finding silence in the heart helps us to clearly see, not only what is around us, but what is inside of us as well.
27
A focus on the present moment and on “what is” will create peace in the mind and help you to enjoy your journey through life. Being “here” makes us see more clearly and choose our moments in life more wisely.
28
Just like the flow of water, when water in a river is stopped by a rock, it allows the rock to push it aside. Pain is part of life. Try to use that pain to lead you to a better self, instead of fighting against it.
29
The fact is that nobody ever posts the moments that are boring and normal. If you’re always on social media, this can easily make you worried that you may not be living your best life. So stop comparing your own life to others.
30
Your past mistakes aren’t a reflection of you but of a past you. So let’s learn to forgive ourselves and others. Let’s learn to accept that people will make mistakes in life—everyone will. All you can control are your own actions, everything else you’ll need to learn to accept.
A．Accept Things as They are
B．Live in the Moment
C．Avoid Feeling Sorry for Yourself
D．Stay away from Social Media
E．Go with the Flow
F．Keep Quiet in the heart
四、阅读匹配
下面的材料分别是青少年投稿倾诉的成长的烦恼，请从A~F中为每个人选择一条合适的建议。
31 I don’t have anyone to play with. I am very lonely and shy, and it’s hard to make friends. It seems that everyone in my class has a friend except me. 32 My classmates isolate （孤立） me all the time. They have their own group chat and never talk to me. I don’t know whether it’s because of different hobbies or my personality. 33 My mom works only for half a day every day, and she doesn’t do anything apart from sleeping and playing with her phone in her free time. I feel like she needs more hobbies. 34 I always do things very slowly, including doing my homework. My study efficiency （效率） is pretty low. How can I improve my efficiency 35 When my voice changed, my classmates said I sounded like a duck, and it made me really sad. Now, I don’t feel like talking much, and I really want my old voice back. A．Find out how long it usually takes to finish your homework. Then set a time limit （限制）. When you reach the time limit, move on to the next thing. Remember, being more efficient can mean more time to play and relax. B．When you see someone who looks like he or she could be a friend, start to talk. Smile, speak up and be brave. There are friends for you out there — you just have to find them. C．While it’s good to help each other when needed, it’s also good to be independent and do your own things. Perhaps this is a lesson you already know but the one your friend needs to learn. D．Start with simple, small conversations when you see the right moment. Try not to give off a feeling of resentment （怨恨） or request their attention; just look for things you have in common and speak up about your opinion. E．Make sure your mom is connected with others. Maybe she could take part in line dancing outside with other mothers. You could also gently push her to work some more hours. Just give her advice and let her make her own decision. F．It’s not nice being laughed at. But try not to be too sensitive （敏感的） about your voice breaking. It’s a natural change. You will probably get through this part quickly and in no time your voice will be strong.
五、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。
Dear classmates, Mom is the greatest person in the world. Today is Mother’s Day, and I want to say something about my mom.
I am in a single parent family. My mother makes 36 (she) living by selling fruits. 37 the life is hard, we are happy. At the same time, she helps me a lot. When I was a child, I was 38 (fat) than other girls, so I was very shy and dared not talk with others. But my mother told me, “Even if you’re 39 ugly duckling（小鸭子）now, I believe you’ ll be a beautiful swan（天鹅）.” She 40 (expect) me to make a change. And then I became more confident and outgoing. At the end of the term, teachers and students said I 41 (complete) changed. At the beginning of Grade Nine, I wasn’t good at chemistry. But she never 42 (compare) me with others. Instead, she bought many chemical tools to help me do experiments, including 43 (match) and jars. Once I failed to do an experiment four times, so I was down. She told me that practice makes perfect and encouraged me to do it a 44 (five) time. Finally, I made it!

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.

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.

四、阅读匹配
下面的材料分别是青少年投稿倾诉的成长的烦恼，请从A~F中为每个人选择一条合适的建议。
31 I don’t have anyone to play with. I am very lonely and shy, and it’s hard to make friends. It seems that everyone in my class has a friend except me. 32 My classmates isolate （孤立） me all the time. They have their own group chat and never talk to me. I don’t know whether it’s because of different hobbies or my personality. 33 My mom works only for half a day every day, and she doesn’t do anything apart from sleeping and playing with her phone in her free time. I feel like she needs more hobbies. 34 I always do things very slowly, including doing my homework. My study efficiency （效率） is pretty low. How can I improve my efficiency 35 When my voice changed, my classmates said I sounded like a duck, and it made me really sad. Now, I don’t feel like talking much, and I really want my old voice back. A．Find out how long it usually takes to finish your homework. Then set a time limit （限制）. When you reach the time limit, move on to the next thing. Remember, being more efficient can mean more time to play and relax. B．When you see someone who looks like he or she could be a friend, start to talk. Smile, speak up and be brave. There are friends for you out there — you just have to find them. C．While it’s good to help each other when needed, it’s also good to be independent and do your own things. Perhaps this is a lesson you already know but the one your friend needs to learn. D．Start with simple, small conversations when you see the right moment. Try not to give off a feeling of resentment （怨恨） or request their attention; just look for things you have in common and speak up about your opinion. E．Make sure your mom is connected with others. Maybe she could take part in line dancing outside with other mothers. You could also gently push her to work some more hours. Just give her advice and let her make her own decision. F．It’s not nice being laughed at. But try not to be too sensitive （敏感的） about your voice breaking. It’s a natural change. You will probably get through this part quickly and in no time your voice will be strong.

36．her 37．Though/Although 38．fatter 39．an 40．expected 41．completely 42．compared 43．matches 44．fifth 45．In
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者虽生活在单亲家庭，但妈妈从小到大给她的鼓励和关爱让她克服挫折，健康成长。
36．句意：我妈妈通过卖水果谋生。根据make one’s living“谋生”可知，该处填形容词性物主代词。故填her。
37．句意：虽然生活很艰难，但是我们很开心。根据“...the life is hard, we are happy.”可知，前后是一种转折让步关系，故填Though/Although引导让步状语从句。故填Though/Although。
38．句意：当我是小孩的时候，我比其他女孩都要胖，所以我非常的害羞，不敢和别人说话。根据“than”可知，该处填形容词比较级。故填fatter。

43．句意：相反，她买了很多化学工具来帮助我做实验，比如说火柴和罐子。根据“chemical tools”可知，该处是指化学工具， match的意思是“火柴”，用其复数形式。故填matches。
