You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine Jia and Lin singing operas in English instead of speaking poetic (有诗意的) 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 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 Western audiences Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.”
24. Where was the opera first performed
A. In Beijing. B. In Changsha. C. In San Francisco, US.

B. Stressful and hard.
C. Meaningful and satisfying.
27. What is the best title of this passage
A. The Classic Chinese Novel A Dream of Red Mansions
B. Chinese Classic Made into an English-language Opera
C. A Famous Love Story Introduced to China
C
On a boat near Costa Rica (哥斯达黎加), a team of biologist is helping a turtle (海龟), which is having trouble breathing. And the team discovers why—there is something inside its nose. A scientist tries to extract the object, but the turtle cries in pain. Finally, after eight minutes, a long object is pulled out: It is a 10-centimeter plastic straw.
The video of the turtle’s rescue (救援) has been posted on YouTube. It has attracted tons of attention to the growing problem: The world’s seas are full of plastic. Since 2000, the plastic production has been increased all around the world, but we only recycle less than one-fifth of it. A lot of this plastic waste ends up in the ocean. Most of this plastic will never biodegrade (生物降解).
This ocean plastic hurts millions of sea animals every year. Some fish eat plastic because it is covered with sea plants, and it looks and smells like food. “In some cases, eating sharped pieces of plastic can seriously hurt sea animals and even cause death,” says biologist Matthew Savoca.
Plastic is useful to people because it is strong and lasts a long time—but this is bad for sea animals who eat or get stuck in it. According to Savoca, “Single-use” plastics are the worst. These items are used only once before we throw them away. Such as straws, water bottles, and plastic bags. About 700 sea species have been caught in or have eaten this kind of plastic. Luckily, the turtle was sent back into the ocean.
How will plastic affect sea animals in the future “I think we’ll know the answers in 5 to 10 years’ time,” says Debra Lee Magadini from Columbia University. But by then, another 25 million tons of plastic will already be in the ocean.
28. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “extract”
A. 询问 B. 捡起 C. 取出
29. The second paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. how many people have watched the rescue
B. how long people have used plastic products
C. how serious the plastic pollution is in the ocean
30. Why are the seas full of plastic waste
A. Because sea animals consume (消耗) plastic.
B. Because more plastic is produced than recycled.
C. Because plastic can be biodegraded in the sea quickly.
31. What can we know from the text
A. “Single-use” is people’s favorite.
B. Plastic waste can even cause death to sea animals.
C. The ocean’s plastic problem will be solved in a decade.

It’s common for us to take a train. But have you ever thought of having a special place to study on the train This will surely be a very unusual experience.
The train No. 5609/5610, which runs between Chongqing and Xiushan, is a slow train. In some carriages (车厢), there are no hard seats (硬座) but some desks and chairs next to the windows. They became bright “study carriages” for passengers in need.
Some other slow trains also have their own bright “study carriages”, including No. 5619/5620 and No. 5633/5634. Many students from nearby schools often take the trains between school and home at weekends. The trains are their “school buses” and many of them use the travel time to finish their homework.
On the train No. Z150, which runs between Guiyang and Beijing, a “book bar” carriage has been welcomed by college students. There are nearly 400 universities and colleges in the cities along the rail line, making No. Z150 the first choice for most students. Since 2015, the train’s dining car has been open at night to provide students with a lending library and some tea. There students enjoy reading books and drinking tea for free. They even start discussions on some topics in groups.
These small measures were made to provide a comfortable environment for learners to continue their studies. And they are well welcomed by many passengers. Many students say it’s meaningful to set up such carriages and they’d like to share them with their friends.
56. What do “study carriages” on the train No.5609/5610 look like

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 Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.”
24. Where was the opera first performed
A. In Beijing. B. In Changsha. C. In San Francisco, US.
25. Why did the art director use water around Lin
A. To help the people better understand Lin’s character.
B. To make the stage more beautiful and attractive.
C. To suggest the sad ending of Lin and Jia.
26. What do creators of the opera think of their jobs
A. Difficult and unbelievable.
B. Stressful and hard.
C. Meaningful and satisfying.
27. What is the best title of this passage
A. The Classic Chinese Novel A Dream of Red Mansions
B. Chinese Classic Made into an English-language Opera
C. A Famous Love Story Introduced to China

C
On a boat near Costa Rica (哥斯达黎加), a team of biologist is helping a turtle (海龟), which is having trouble breathing. And the team discovers why—there is something inside its nose. A scientist tries to extract the object, but the turtle cries in pain. Finally, after eight minutes, a long object is pulled out: It is a 10-centimeter plastic straw.
The video of the turtle’s rescue (救援) has been posted on YouTube. It has attracted tons of attention to the growing problem: The world’s seas are full of plastic. Since 2000, the plastic production has been increased all around the world, but we only recycle less than one-fifth of it. A lot of this plastic waste ends up in the ocean. Most of this plastic will never biodegrade (生物降解).
This ocean plastic hurts millions of sea animals every year. Some fish eat plastic because it is covered with sea plants, and it looks and smells like food. “In some cases, eating sharped pieces of plastic can seriously hurt sea animals and even cause death,” says biologist Matthew Savoca.
Plastic is useful to people because it is strong and lasts a long time—but this is bad for sea animals who eat or get stuck in it. According to Savoca, “Single-use” plastics are the worst. These items are used only once before we throw them away. Such as straws, water bottles, and plastic bags. About 700 sea species have been caught in or have eaten this kind of plastic. Luckily, the turtle was sent back into the ocean.
How will plastic affect sea animals in the future “I think we’ll know the answers in 5 to 10 years’ time,” says Debra Lee Magadini from Columbia University. But by then, another 25 million tons of plastic will already be in the ocean.
28. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “extract”
A. 询问 B. 捡起 C. 取出
29. The second paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. how many people have watched the rescue
B. how long people have used plastic products
C. how serious the plastic pollution is in the ocean
30. Why are the seas full of plastic waste
A. Because sea animals consume (消耗) plastic.
B. Because more plastic is produced than recycled.
C. Because plastic can be biodegraded in the sea quickly.
31. What can we know from the text
A. “Single-use” is people’s favorite.
B. Plastic waste can even cause death to sea animals.
C. The ocean’s plastic problem will be solved in a decade.
【答案】28. C29. C30. B31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要通过海龟误食塑料的例子来说明海洋里充满了塑料垃圾及它们所带来的危害。
【28题】
词义猜测题。根据“there is something inside its nose. A scientist tries to extract the object, but the turtle cries in pain.”可知，海龟的鼻子里有东西，因此科学家是努力取出这个东西，故划线单词表示“取出”。故选C。
【29题】
主旨大意题。根据“It has attracted tons of attention to the growing problem: The world’s seas are full of plastic.”及本段内容可知，本段主要讲述了海洋中的塑料污染有多严重。故选C。
【30题】
细节理解题。根据“Since 2000, the plastic production has been increased all around the world, but we only recycle less than one-fifth of it. A lot of this plastic waste ends up in the ocean.”可知，因为生产的塑料多于回收的塑料，很多塑料垃圾最终进入大海，从而使得海洋里充满了塑料垃圾。故选B。
【31题】
细节理解题。根据“In some cases, eating sharped pieces of plastic can seriously hurt sea animals and even cause death”可知，塑料垃圾甚至会导致海洋动物的死亡。故选B。

Some other slow trains also have their own bright “study carriages”, including No. 5619/5620 and No. 5633/5634. Many students from nearby schools often take the trains between school and home at weekends. The trains are their “school buses” and many of them use the travel time to finish their homework.
On the train No. Z150, which runs between Guiyang and Beijing, a “book bar” carriage has been welcomed by college students. There are nearly 400 universities and colleges in the cities along the rail line, making No. Z150 the first choice for most students. Since 2015, the train’s dining car has been open at night to provide students with a lending library and some tea. There students enjoy reading books and drinking tea for free. They even start discussions on some topics in groups.

Ladies and gentlemen,
How time flies! Our junior high school life is coming to the end. At this moment, I’d like to say thank you to my English teacher.
When I was in Grade Eight, our school planned to hold a charity sale to help the children in poor areas. We prepared well for the activity. We made some postcards, bookmarks, and even some kites in our spare time. Finally, the big day came. The charity sale was held on our playground. We felt nervous at first, then our English teacher came to join us. She encouraged us and gave us some help, so we became happy and excited. Everything went well. Our class got nearly 800 yuan in the end. Then we sent the money to Project Hope to help those poor children. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience and I’ve learned a lot from the activity. I’m more brave now. Because of your help, I have made much progress. Words can’t show my thanks to you! I’ll remember all of you.
That’s all. Thank you for your listening.
