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!

C
American
culture
is
unique
because
it
is
formed
and
developed
under
certain
conditions.The
major
factors
contributing
to
the
making
of
this
new
nation
and
the
forming
of
a
new
culture
are
the
hard
environment，ethnic
diversity
and
plural
religion，which
is
quite
different
from
other
nations
in
the
world．What
is
more，these
elements
are
still
influencing
the
American
culture．
The
early
immigrants
who
were
English
Puritans
settled
down
in
northeast
part
of
America
from
1607
to
1892．Frontiers
were
pushed
further
west．The
frontiersmen
looked
for
a
land
of
rich
resources
and
a
land
of
promise，opportunity
and
freedom．Actually
they
looked
for
a
better
life．So
individualism，selfreliance，and
equality
of
opportunity
have
perhaps
been
the
values
most
closely
associated
with
the
frontier
heritage
of
America．
In
history，people
from
different
countries
in
the
world
rushed
to
America
three
times．They
brought
their
own
culture
to
America
and
later
on，different
cultures
were
mixed
together．Thus
the
unique
American
culture
was
formed，a
common
cultural
life
with
commonly
shared
values．
The
fundamental
American
belief
in
individual
freedom
and
the
fight
of
individuals
to
practice
their
own
religion
is
at
the
center
of
religious
experience
in
the
United
States.The
great
diversity
of
ethnic
backgrounds
has
produced
religious
pluralism（多元化）；almost
all
of
the
religions
of
the
world
are
now
practiced
in
the
United
States．
Nowadays，we
can
see
the
continual
influence
of
the
three
elements
in
the
current
American
society.American
family
is
typically
parents
and
their
unmarried
children．Middleaged
and
elderly
people
generally
do
not
live
with
their
married
children．The
people
in
America
have
a
very
strong
desire
to
start
a
new
life
in
a
new
place．Quite
a
number
of
people
change
residences
every
year．The
average
American
moves
fourteen
times
in
his
lifetime．

D
Many
Chinese
students
think
American
students
enjoy
more
freedom
than
them
at
school.
But
American
schools
also
have
their
rules.
If
the
students
break
the
rules,
they
will
get
punishment,
too.
On
the
first
day
of
a
new
term,
128
students
of
Morton
High
School
were
sent
home
for
wearing
the
wrong
clothes.
There
are
altogether
1,
200
students
in
the
school.
Usually
there
are
20
students
breaking
the
school
dress
rule
every
day.
So
the
headmaster
Theresa
Mayerik
said
it
was
the
worst
new
term
she
had
ever
seen.
???
At
Morton
High
School,
students?
favorite
clothing
such
as
baggy
(宽大的)
trousers,
low-necked
shirts
and
tank
tops
(坎肩)
is
not
allowed
in
classrooms.
Some
students
think
they
have
the
right
to
choose
what
to
wear.
But
the
headmaster
doesn?t
think
so.
"I?d
be
supportive
if
half
the
school
were
sent
home,
because
99%
will
get
the
message
that
our
school
is
for
education."
"Freedom"
does
not
mean
"free
of
restrictions
(约束)".
That
is
to
say
there
is
no
total
freedom
in
the
world,
no
matter
in
the
US
or
in
China.
12.
Many
Chinese
students

C.
American
students
don?t
love
their
school
at
all
D.
there
is
no
freedom
in
American
schools
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。由第一段中的Many
Chinese
students
think
American
students
enjoy
more
freedom
than
them
at
school可知很多中国学生认为，在学校，美国学生比他们享有更多的自由。所以中国学生认为美国学生在学校很自由。故选A项。

C.
not
wearing
the
right
clothes
D.

to
the
teachers
in

【答案】C
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。由第二段中的128
students
of
Morton
High
School
were
sent
home
for
wearing
the
wrong
clothes可知128名莫顿高中的学生因为穿错衣服被送回家。所以128名学生被送回家是因为没有穿正确的衣服。故选C项。
14.
What
does
the
underlined
word
"supportive"
mean
in
Chinese?
A.
高兴的
B.
支持的
C.
害怕的
D.
反对的
【答案】B
【解析】本题考查词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的Some
students
think
they
have
the
right
to
choose
what
to
wear.
But
the
headmaster
doesn?t
think
so可知一些学生认为他们有权利选择穿什么，但是校长不这么认为。所以校长反对学生随意着装，那么当孩子穿错衣服被送回家时，校长是持支持态度，即supportive。故选B项。
15.
What?s
the
writer?s
attitude
to
the
school
dress
rule?
A.
Agreeable.
B.
Disagreeable.
C.
Not
sure.
D.
Unclear.
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查作者观点态度题。由最后一段中的?"Freedom"
does
not
mean
"free
of
restrictions
(约束)".
That
is
to
say
there
is
no
total
freedom
in
the
world,
no
matter
in
the
US
or
in
China.可知自由不意味着没有约束。也就是说世界上没有完全的自由，不管在美国还是在中国。从这些表达可以看出，作者认为学校关于穿衣服的规定是合理的。即作者同意这个规定。故选A项。

?
Every
culture
on
the
planet
has
certain
topics
that
people
avoid
discussing.
But
the
taboos
(禁忌)
of
one
culture
may
be
very
different
from
those
of
another.
You
may
be???(21)???that
people
from
other
cultures
say
what
you
can't
talk
about.
????Paying
attention
to
what
people
don't???(22)???can
teach
us
something
important
about
their
culture.
Their
taboo
topics
give
us
clues
about
what
they
value,
respect
or
even
fear.
Topics
that
are
considered
too
personal
or
too
controversial
(有争议的)
may
also
be
avoided.
????America
is
full
of
taboo
topics.
Usually,
during
a
polite
conversation,
Americans
will???(23)???both
politics
and
religion.
They
also
avoid
talking
about?racial
issues?(种族问题).
????Why?
Because
these
topics
can
cause
strong
opinions
and???(24)??.
Americans
believe
it's
best
to
avoid
them—especially
at
social
gatherings.
????Many
Americans
also
do
not
feel???(25)???talking
about
their
personal
income,
age
or
health.???(26)??,
they
prefer
to
make
small
talks
about
the
weather,
sports
or
common
interests.
????What
do
these
taboos
tell
us
about
American???(27)???
For
one,
they
show
that
Americans
place
importance
on???(28)??.
America
certainly
isn't
the
only
place
that
values
it.
You
will
find???(29)???taboos
about
asking
personal
questions
in
many
European
countries.
"This
is
especially
true
in
Germany",
says
Hanna
Graf,
a
German
living
in
Shanghai.
"In
Germany,
you
are
not
supposed
to
ask
about
other
people's
personal
business,"
she
says.
"But
there
are
no???(30)???rules
about
what
you
can't
ask;
it's
just
in
people's
minds."
????In
Brazil,???(31)??,
almost
anything
seems
open
to
discussion.
"Brazilians
talk
about
all
kinds
of
personal
issues,"
says
Mark
Quinlan,
who
grew
up
in
Brazil.
But
of
course,
even
Brazil
has
its
own
taboos.
In
Brazil,
soccer
is
the
one
topic
that
can
turn
friends
into
enemies.
Brazilians
love
the
sport.
Saying
anything???(32)???about
soccer
can
cause
big
trouble.
Even
expressing
preference
for
one
team
over
another
can
be???(33)??.
????Like
Brazilians,
Australians
talk
freely
about
almost
anything.
However,
they
do
not
talk
about
their
personal
or
business???(34)??.
They
prefer
to
let
people
judge
them
by
their
actions,
not
their
words.
Boasting
(夸大)
your
achievements
will
only
make
you
the???(35)???of
other
people's
jokes.
????And
what
about
your
taboos?
The
next
time
you
have
a
conversation,
pay
attention
to
what
isn't
said.
You
might
be
amazed
at
what
you
learn
about
your
own
culture.

the
Tang
Dynasty可知，此处陈述的是过去发生的事情，需用一般过去时。故填appeared.
37.【答案】in

southern
part
of...意为“在……的南部”，介词in表示在某地范围之内。故填in.

same
as...为固定短语，意为“与……一样”。故填as.

sth.为固定搭配，意为“有可能做某事”，设空处需填动词不定式。故填to
have.
42.【答案】kinds
【解析】?本题考查名词复数。分析句子结构，new为形容词，修饰名词，故设空处需填名词。kind为可数名词，根据后文的including
"three
fresh
pot"
in
Hangzhou,
"mixed
hot
pot"
in
Shanghai.
（包括杭州的“三鲜火锅”，上海的“混合火锅”。）可知，此处不止一种，需用名词复数形式。故填kinds.
43.【答案】is
considered
【解析】本题考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：现在，干锅在中国被认为是一种新型的火锅。结合语境，此处陈述客观事实，需用一般现在时；dry

pot为单数名词，be动词要用is.故填is
considered.
44.【答案】beginning
【解析】本题考查固定短语。句意：对于干锅，一开始不添加汤底，但可以在肉食材吃完后添加。at

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!

American
culture
is
unique
because
it
is
formed
and
developed
under
certain
conditions.The
major
factors
contributing
to
the
making
of
this
new
nation
and
the
forming
of
a
new
culture
are
the
hard
environment，ethnic
diversity
and
plural
religion，which
is
quite
different
from
other
nations
in
the
world．What
is
more，these
elements
are
still
influencing
the
American
culture．
The
early
immigrants
who
were
English
Puritans
settled
down
in
northeast
part
of
America
from
1607
to
1892．Frontiers
were
pushed
further
west．The
frontiersmen
looked
for
a
land
of
rich
resources
and
a
land
of
promise，opportunity
and
freedom．Actually
they
looked
for
a
better
life．So
individualism，selfreliance，and
equality
of
opportunity
have
perhaps
been
the
values
most
closely
associated
with
the
frontier
heritage
of
America．
In
history，people
from
different
countries
in
the
world
rushed
to
America
three
times．They
brought
their
own
culture
to
America
and
later
on，different
cultures
were
mixed
together．Thus
the
unique
American
culture
was
formed，a
common
cultural
life
with
commonly
shared
values．
The
fundamental
American
belief
in
individual
freedom
and
the
fight
of
individuals
to
practice
their
own
religion
is
at
the
center
of
religious
experience
in
the
United
States.The
great
diversity
of
ethnic
backgrounds
has
produced
religious
pluralism（多元化）；almost
all
of
the
religions
of
the
world
are
now
practiced
in
the
United
States．
Nowadays，we
can
see
the
continual
influence
of
the
three
elements
in
the
current
American
society.American
family
is
typically
parents
and
their
unmarried
children．Middleaged
and
elderly
people
generally
do
not
live
with
their
married
children．The
people
in
America
have
a
very
strong
desire
to
start
a
new
life
in
a
new
place．Quite
a
number
of
people
change
residences
every
year．The
average
American
moves
fourteen
times
in
his
lifetime．

Many
Chinese
students
think
American
students
enjoy
more
freedom
than
them
at
school.
But
American
schools
also
have
their
rules.
If
the
students
break
the
rules,
they
will
get
punishment,
too.
On
the
first
day
of
a
new
term,
128
students
of
Morton
High
School
were
sent
home
for
wearing
the
wrong
clothes.
There
are
altogether
1,
200
students
in
the
school.
Usually
there
are
20
students
breaking
the
school
dress
rule
every
day.
So
the
headmaster
Theresa
Mayerik
said
it
was
the
worst
new
term
she
had
ever
seen.
???
At
Morton
High
School,
students?
favorite
clothing
such
as
baggy
(宽大的)
trousers,
low-necked
shirts
and
tank
tops
(坎肩)
is
not
allowed
in
classrooms.
Some
students
think
they
have
the
right
to
choose
what
to
wear.
But
the
headmaster
doesn?t
think
so.
"I?d
be
supportive
if
half
the
school
were
sent
home,
because
99%
will
get
the
message
that
our
school
is
for
education."
"Freedom"
does
not
mean
"free
of
restrictions
(约束)".
That
is
to
say
there
is
no
total
freedom
in
the
world,
no
matter
in
the
US
or
in
China.

Every
culture
on
the
planet
has
certain
topics
that
people
avoid
discussing.
But
the
taboos
(禁忌)
of
one
culture
may
be
very
different
from
those
of
another.
You
may
be???(21)???that
people
from
other
cultures
say
what
you
can't
talk
about.
????Paying
attention
to
what
people
don't???(22)???can
teach
us
something
important
about
their
culture.
Their
taboo
topics
give
us
clues
about
what
they
value,
respect
or
even
fear.
Topics
that
are
considered
too
personal
or
too
controversial
(有争议的)
may
also
be
avoided.
????America
is
full
of
taboo
topics.
Usually,
during
a
polite
conversation,
Americans
will???(23)???both
politics
and
religion.
They
also
avoid
talking
about?racial
issues?(种族问题).
????Why?
Because
these
topics
can
cause
strong
opinions
and???(24)??.
Americans
believe
it's
best
to
avoid
them—especially
at
social
gatherings.
????Many
Americans
also
do
not
feel???(25)???talking
about
their
personal
income,
age
or
health.???(26)??,
they
prefer
to
make
small
talks
about
the
weather,
sports
or
common
interests.
????What
do
these
taboos
tell
us
about
American???(27)???
For
one,
they
show
that
Americans
place
importance
on???(28)??.
America
certainly
isn't
the
only
place
that
values
it.
You
will
find???(29)???taboos
about
asking
personal
questions
in
many
European
countries.
"This
is
especially
true
in
Germany",
says
Hanna
Graf,
a
German
living
in
Shanghai.
"In
Germany,
you
are
not
supposed
to
ask
about
other
people's
personal
business,"
she
says.
"But
there
are
no???(30)???rules
about
what
you
can't
ask;
it's
just
in
people's
minds."
????In
Brazil,???(31)??,
almost
anything
seems
open
to
discussion.
"Brazilians
talk
about
all
kinds
of
personal
issues,"
says
Mark
Quinlan,
who
grew
up
in
Brazil.
But
of
course,
even
Brazil
has
its
own
taboos.
In
Brazil,
soccer
is
the
one
topic
that
can
turn
friends
into
enemies.
Brazilians
love
the
sport.
Saying
anything???(32)???about
soccer
can
cause
big
trouble.
Even
expressing
preference
for
one
team
over
another
can
be???(33)??.
????Like
Brazilians,
Australians
talk
freely
about
almost
anything.
However,
they
do
not
talk
about
their
personal
or
business???(34)??.
They
prefer
to
let
people
judge
them
by
their
actions,
not
their
words.
Boasting
(夸大)
your
achievements
will
only
make
you
the???(35)???of
other
people's
jokes.
????And
what
about
your
taboos?
The
next
time
you
have
a
conversation,
pay
attention
to
what
isn't
said.
You

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Living?in?a?foreign?country?probably?sounds?exciting?and?romantic?to?you．?Just?imagine?the
?noises?from?the?local?market?or?the?smell?of?strange?flowers?when?you?leave?the?house?in?the?
morning．?But?this?doesn't?mean?that?life?abroad?is?easy．?When?people?set?foot?in?a?foreign?land，
they?tend?to?keep?to?what?is?familiar．?Becoming?a?part?of?the?local?culture?can?be?the?hardest?part?
of?life?abroad．
???
However，?in?order?to?get?the?most?of?their?life?abroad，?people?need?to?break?out?of?their
comfortable?routines?and?explore．?The?moment?you?let?go?of?false?ideas?and?stereotypes，?you?are?ready?to?take?your?first?major?step．?And?more?often?than?not，?living?in?a?foreign?country?can?be?a?
truly?life-changing?experience．
???
Even?for?experienced?travellers，?it?is?not?as?easy?as?it?seems?to?get?used?to?life?abroad．?Making?the?transition?from?living?like?a?visiting?holidaymaker?to?living?like?a?local?takes?time．?Culture?
shock?is?part?of?living?abroad?and?hits?everyone?eventually．?The?key?is?not?to?let?it?get?the?better?of?you．You?have?to?accept?that?things?are?not?the?same?as?they?are?at?home?and，until?you?get?to?
that?point，?try?to?respectful，?patient?and?humble．
???
Another?problem?is?that?the?charm?of?a?foreign?life?could?wear?off?as?time?passes?by．?For?most?people，?a?foreign?culture?appears?strange?and?exciting?at?first．?After?all，?the?main?reason?for?
moving?broad?is?of?ten?the?wish?to?explore?foreign?cultures．?However，?after?living?in?a?foreign?
country?for?a?while，?little?things?that?you?once?thought?were?charming?begin?to?annoy?you．?You?
remember?how?everything?ran?on?schedule?back?home，?how?beautiful?your?hometown?was?and?
how?much?more?relaxed?and?friendly?everyone?seemed?to?be．
???
So，?you'd?better?understand?issues?with?the?local?food，?or?problems?with?adjusting?to?the?pace?of?life?as?you?live?abroad?someday?in?the?future．
