Beijing
Opera,
as
one
of
Chinese
traditional
opera
forms,
is
regarded
as
the
national
opera
of
China
and
well
received
all
over
the
world.
????
Beijing
Opera
arose
in
the
late
18th
century
with
a
history
of
more
than
200
years
whose
origin
can
date
back
to
some
old
local
operas,
especially
the
Anhui
Opera.
It
became
fully
developed
and
recognized
by
the
mid-19th
century.
Now
it's
the
biggest
kind
of
opera
in
China,
whose
popularity
spread
all
over
the
country,
becoming
the
most
popular
dramatic
(戏剧的)
form
on
Chinese
stage.
????
There
are
four
basic
methods
employed
in
a
Beijing
Opera
performance:
chang,
nian,
zuo,
da.
Generally
speaking,
chang
means
singing,
and
nian
recitation
(背诵)
and
oral
communication,
while
zuo
means
the
facial
and
body
expressions
and
acting
and
da
is
Chinese
Kungfu.
Beijing
Opera
also
has
four
main
types
of
performers
namely
Sheng,
Dan,
Jing
and
Chou.
Sheng
and
Dan
mean
the
main
roles
in
the
opera.
The
painted
face,
in
Chinese
called
'jing',
is
a
name
for
the
role
of
the
man
that
has
some
special
characteristic
or
appearance.
Chou
is
easily
understood
from
the
role's
name
as
a
clown
with
an
ugly
appearance,
who
is
to
provide
light
relief
and
comedy.
????In
recent
years,
Beijing
Opera
has
tried
to
make
some
changes,
including
improving
the
performance
quality.
Widely
spreading
all
over
China
with
great
influence,
Beijing
Opera
contains
the
spirit
of
Chinese
national
culture,
but
the
shortage
of
funding
has
become
a
big
problem
as
the
form
enters
the
21st
century.
There
is
no
doubt
that
it
is
a
treasure
of
Chinese
culture!

Tea
drinking
was
common
in
China
for
nearly
one
thousand
years
before
anyone
in
Europe
had
ever
heard
about
it.
People
in
Britain
were
much
slower
in
finding
out
what
tea
was
like,
mainly
because
tea
was
very
expensive.
It
could
not
be
bought
in
shops
and
even
those
people
who
could
afford
to
have
it
sent
from
Holland
did
so
only
because
it
was
a
fashionable
curiosity.
Some
of
them
were
not
sure
how
to
use
it.
They
thought
it
was
a
vegetable
and
tried
cooking
the
leaves.
???
?Tea
remained
scarce
(稀少的)
and
very
expensive
in
England
until
the
ships
of
the
East
India
Company
began
to
bring
it
directly
from
China
early
in
the
17th
century.
During
the
next
few
years
so
much
tea
came
into
the
country
that
the
price
fell
and
many
people
could
afford
to
buy
it.
????
At
the
same
time
people
on
the
Continent
were
becoming
more
and
more
fond
of
tea.
Until
then
tea
had
been
drunk
without
milk
in
it,
but
one
day
a
famous
French
lady
named
Madame
de
Sevigne
decided
to
see
what
tea
tasted
like
when
milk
was
added.
She
found
it
so
pleasant
that
she
would
never
again
drink
it
without
milk.
She
was
such
a
great
lady
that
her
friends
thought
they
must
copy
everything
she
did,
so
they
also
drank
their
tea
with
milk
in
it.
Slowly
this
habit
spread
until
it
reached
England
and
today
only
very
few
Britons
drink
tea
without
milk.
???
?At
first,
tea
was
usually
drunk
after
dinner
in
the
evening.
No
one
ever
thought
of
drinking
tea
in
the
afternoon
until
a
duchess
(公爵夫人)
found
that
a
cup
of
tea
and
a
piece
of
cake
at
three
or
four
o'clock
stopped
her
getting
"a
sinking
feeling"
as
she
called
it.
She
invited
her
friends
to
have
this
new
meal
with
her
and
so,
teatime
was
born.
12.
What
do
we
know
about
the
introduction
of
tea
into
Britain?
A.
Tea
reached
Britain
from
Holland.
B.
The
Britons
got
expensive
tea
from
India.
C.
The
Britons
were
the
first
people
in
Europe
who
drank
tea.
D.
It
was
not
until
the
17th
century
that
the
Britons
had
tea.
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据文章第一段It
could
not
be
bought
in
shops
and
even
those
people
who
could
afford
to
have
it
sent
from
Holland
did
so
only
because
it
was
a
fashionable
curiosity.（茶在商店里是买不到的，即使是那些买得起它的人也只能把它从荷兰寄来，因为它是一种时髦的珍品。）可知，最开始是从荷兰将茶引入到英国的，故选A项。
13.

did
tea

Britain
probably?
A.
In
the

19th
century.

century.
C.
In

few
year
so
much
tea
came
into
the
country
that
the

fell
and
many
people

to
buy
it.（茶叶在英格兰仍然稀缺和非常昂贵，直到17世纪初东印度公司的船只开始把它直接从中国带来英国。在接下来的几年里，大量茶叶涌入英国，价格下跌，许多人买得起。）可知，17世纪初，茶叶开始在英国流行。故选C项。

habit”指的就是上文所提到的在茶中加入牛奶的习惯，故选A项。

第二节
（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every
Thanksgiving
Day
for
nine
years,
Peter,
a
poor
man,
sat
down
in
the
New
York
City
park,
waiting
for
an
old
gentleman
who
would
invite
him
to
eat
a
big
meal.
But
this
Thanksgiving
Day
Peter
wasn't
hungry.
He
was
lucky.
A
lady
often
helped
the
poor
on
this
day
and
she
had
served
too
much
food
to
him.
He
had
eaten
so
big
a
meal
that
he
had
almost
no
power
to
move.
So
he
sat
there,
very
full
and
his
breath
almost
stopped.
???
At
the
time,
an
old
gentleman
was
coming
toward
Peter's
seat.
Every
Thanksgiving
Day
the
old
gentleman
came
there
and
then
led
Peter
to
a
restaurant
and
watched
him
eating.
Feeding
Peter
once
a
year
was
a
tradition.
???
"I
can
give
thanks
on
this
day.
I'll
give
you
a
meal
that
will
surely
make
your
body
feel
as
strong
as
your
mind."
said
the
old
gentleman.
Always
before
those
words
had
been
music
in
Peter's
ear.
But
now
he
looked
up
at
the
old
gentleman's
face
with
tears
of
suffering
in
his
eyes.
But
the
old
gentleman
didn't
see
Peter's
eyes.
Peter
wondered
why
the
old
gentleman
seemed
sad
as
he
spoke.
???
The
old
gentleman
was
thin
and
tall.
His
hair
was
whiter
and
thinner
than
last
year.
He
had
no
family
and
he
just
thought
Peter
was
his
relative.
He
lived
alone
in
an
old
house
near
the
park.
His
eyes
were
bright
with
pleasure.
Peter
finally
nodded
and
accepted
the
invitation.
Peter
was
too
full
to
eat
but
he
understood
that
he
was
a
part
of
the
tradition.
???
The
old
gentleman
led
Peter
to
the
same
restaurant.
He
sat
at
the
table
silently.
Today,
it
was
strange
that
he
kept
staring
at
Peter's
food
as
if
he
were
very
hungry.
Peter
began
to
eat.
The
turkey
and
all
the
other
food
were
gone
almost
as
quickly
as
they
appeared.
Peter
saw
the
look
of
happiness
on
the
old
gentleman's
face.
After
an
hour,
the
big
meal
was
finished.
???
"Thank
you!"
Peter
said
weakly.
He
stood
up
heavily
and
started
to
go.
They
said
goodbye
as
they
did
each
year.
The
old
gentleman
went
away
first.
注意：1.
续写词数应为150左右；
2.

Paragraph
1:
???
Peter
suddenly
fell
and
then
was
picked
up
and
taken
to
a
hospital.

????Beijing
Opera,
as
one
of
Chinese
traditional
opera
forms,
is
regarded
as
the
national
opera
of
China
and
well
received
all
over
the
world.
????Beijing
Opera
arose
in
the
late
18th
century
with
a
history
of
more
than
200
years
whose
origin
can
date
back
to
some
old
local
operas,
especially
the
Anhui
Opera.
It
became
fully
developed
and
recognized
by
the
mid-19th
century.
Now
it's
the
biggest
kind
of
opera
in
China,
whose
popularity
spread
all
over
the
country,
becoming
the
most
popular
dramatic
(戏剧的)
form
on
Chinese
stage.
????There
are
four
basic
methods
employed
in
a
Beijing
Opera
performance:
chang,
nian,
zuo,
da.
Generally
speaking,
chang
means
singing,
and
nian
recitation
(背诵)
and
oral
communication,
while
zuo
means
the
facial
and
body
expressions
and
acting
and
da
is
Chinese
Kungfu.
Beijing
Opera
also
has
four
main
types
of
performers
namely
Sheng,
Dan,
Jing
and
Chou.
Sheng
and
Dan
mean
the
main
roles
in
the
opera.
The
painted
face,
in
Chinese
called
'jing',
is
a
name
for
the
role
of
the
man
that
has
some
special
characteristic
or
appearance.
Chou
is
easily
understood
from
the
role's
name
as
a
clown
with
an
ugly
appearance,
who
is
to
provide
light
relief
and
comedy.
????In
recent
years,
Beijing
Opera
has
tried
to
make
some
changes,
including
improving
the
performance
quality.
Widely
spreading
all
over
China
with
great
influence,
Beijing
Opera
contains
the
spirit
of
Chinese
national
culture,
but
the
shortage
of
funding
has
become
a
big
problem
as
the
form
enters
the
21st
century.
There
is
no
doubt
that
it
is
a
treasure
of
Chinese
culture!

Tea
drinking
was
common
in
China
for
nearly
one
thousand
years
before
anyone
in
Europe
had
ever
heard
about
it.
People
in
Britain
were
much
slower
in
finding
out
what
tea
was
like,
mainly
because
tea
was
very
expensive.
It
could
not
be
bought
in
shops
and
even
those
people
who
could
afford
to
have
it
sent
from
Holland
did
so
only
because
it
was
a
fashionable
curiosity.
Some
of
them
were
not
sure
how
to
use
it.
They
thought
it
was
a
vegetable
and
tried
cooking
the
leaves.
????
Tea
remained
scarce
(稀少的)
and
very
expensive
in
England
until
the
ships
of
the
East
India
Company
began
to
bring
it
directly
from
China
early
in
the
17th
century.
During
the
next
few
years
so
much
tea
came
into
the
country
that
the
price
fell
and
many
people
could
afford
to
buy
it.
????
At
the
same
time
people
on
the
Continent
were
becoming
more
and
more
fond
of
tea.
Until
then
tea
had
been
drunk
without
milk
in
it,
but
one
day
a
famous
French
lady
named
Madame
de
Sevigne
decided
to
see
what
tea
tasted
like
when
milk
was
added.
She
found
it
so
pleasant
that
she
would
never
again
drink
it
without
milk.
She
was
such
a
great
lady
that
her
friends
thought
they
must
copy
everything
she
did,
so
they
also
drank
their
tea
with
milk
in
it.
Slowly
this
habit
spread
until
it
reached
England
and
today
only
very
few
Britons
drink
tea
without
milk.
????
At
first,
tea
was
usually
drunk
after
dinner
in
the
evening.
No
one
ever
thought
of
drinking
tea
in
the
afternoon
until
a
duchess
(公爵夫人)
found
that
a
cup
of
tea
and
a
piece
of
cake
at
three
or
four
o'clock
stopped
her
getting
"a
sinking
feeling"
as
she
called
it.
She
invited
her
friends
to
have
this
new
meal
with
her
and
so,
teatime
was
born.
12.

do

the
introduction
of
tea

Britain?
A.
Tea

Britain
from
Holland.
B.

tea
from
India.

It
was

It
is
well
known
that
the
Chinese
have
great
respect
for
their
elders,
and
here
is
an
occasion

show
it—the
Chongyang
Festival.

The
ninth
day
of

is
the
day
that
has
two
“yang”
numbers,

“chong”
in
Chinese
means

The
festival
can
date
back
to
the
Warring
States
Period.
However,
it
was
not
?
?
?

as

until

Dynasty.

(declare)
the

Traditionally,
people
climb
mountains,
drink
chrysanthemum（菊花）wine,
and
eat

cakes.
Since
cake
in
Chinese
is
pronounced
“gao”
meaning
“high”,
people
consider
climbing
a
high
mountain
to
be

第二节
（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every
Thanksgiving
Day
for
nine
years,
Peter,
a
poor
man,
sat
down
in
the
New
York
City
park,
waiting
for
an
old
gentleman
who
would
invite
him
to
eat
a
big
meal.
But
this
Thanksgiving
Day
Peter
wasn't
hungry.
He
was
lucky.
A
lady
often
helped
the
poor
on
this
day
and
she
had
served
too
much
food
to
him.
He
had
eaten
so
big
a
meal
that
he
had
almost
no
power
to
move.
So
he
sat
there,
very
full
and
his
breath
almost
stopped.
???
At
the
time,
an
old
gentleman
was
coming
toward
Peter's
seat.
Every
Thanksgiving
Day
the
old
gentleman
came
there
and
then
led
Peter
to
a
restaurant
and
watched
him
eating.
Feeding
Peter
once
a
year
was
a
tradition.
???
"I
can
give
thanks
on
this
day.
I'll
give
you
a
meal
that
will
surely
make
your
body
feel
as
strong
as
your
mind."
said
the
old
gentleman.
Always
before
those
words
had
been
music
in
Peter's
ear.
But
now
he
looked
up
at
the
old
gentleman's
face
with
tears
of
suffering
in
his
eyes.
But
the
old
gentleman
didn't
see
Peter's
eyes.
Peter
wondered
why
the
old
gentleman
seemed
sad
as
he
spoke.
???
The
old
gentleman
was
thin
and
tall.
His
hair
was
whiter
and
thinner
than
last
year.
He
had
no
family
and
he
just
thought
Peter
was
his
relative.
He
lived
alone
in
an
old
house
near
the
park.
His
eyes
were
bright
with
pleasure.
Peter
finally
nodded
and
accepted
the
invitation.
Peter
was
too
full
to
eat
but
he
understood
that
he
was
a
part
of
the
tradition.
???
The
old
gentleman
led
Peter
to
the
same
restaurant.
He
sat
at
the
table
silently.
Today,
it
was
strange
that
he
kept
staring
at
Peter's
food
as
if
he
were
very
hungry.
Peter
began
to
eat.
The
turkey
and
all
the
other
food
were
gone
almost
as
quickly
as
they
appeared.
Peter
saw
the
look
of
happiness
on
the
old
gentleman's
face.
After
an
hour,
the
big
meal
was
finished.
???
"Thank
you!"
Peter
said
weakly.
He
stood
up
heavily
and
started
to
go.
They
said
goodbye
as
they
did
each
year.
The
old
gentleman
went
away
first.

Paragraph
1:
???
Peter
suddenly
fell
and
then
was
picked
up
and
taken
to
a
hospital.
