Adaptation and innovation of traditional opera is a major trend in modern Chinese opera circle. As times change, traditional opera has gradually lost its elderly audience and failed to appeal to young people. To attract the new generation, the opera circle is working to create updated works.
Facing an aging audience, Peking Opera has adopted modern sound, light and digital stage effects to attract young people in creative ways.
The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing now presents fashionable Peking Opera performances. It combines music, vocal skills, mime, dance and acrobatics. With special art experience sections and new shows, the theater has attracted over 2,000 audience numbers, mostly young people, according to theater staff.
“Good art should keep pace with the times, so does jingju,” said Zhang Zishang, a 22-year-old performer in Tianleyuan, who has 10 years of stage experience. “Innovation is good, but we must also carry on the basic elements of jingju,” another young performer Deng said.
According to Deng, innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience. It has made successful attempts to combine jingju with local opera forms such as ballet when organizing performances abroad. “Innovation can help traditional arts go further. We are happy to see many young faces, and some of them even come twice to experience the ‘new’ art,” she added.
8. Why is adaptation and innovation of traditional opera important
A．To run after fashion.
B．To draw the young audience.
C．To improve digital stage effect.
D．To change the traditional opera circle.
9. Which of the following can best describe Tianleyuan Theater

B．It pays little attention to young viewers.
C．It tries new ways to show Peking Opera.
D．It keeps all old performing rules strictly.

A．Favourable.
B．Unreliable.
C．Worthless.
D．Conservative.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A．Classic jingju plays are popular among elderly people.
B．Traditional opera is being innovated to win over young people.
C．Young performers have rich stage experience in Peking Opera.
D．Modern art forms have completely changed traditional operas.

Each year, an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica, and each may unintentionally contribute to the melting of 83 tons of snow, according to a new study in Nature Communications.
The culprit is black carbon, created by burning fossil fuels and biomass. It settles on snow, darkening its surface. This increases the absorption of solar heat and quickens melting.
Due to its remoteness, Antarctica naturally has little black carbon pollution. However, the new study shows black carbon from local tourism and research activities has greatly affected its icy environment.
The international research team measured black carbon concentrations of snow from 28 sites across the northern Antarctic Peninsula. It turned out that black carbon concentration was far thicker around research bases and tourist ship landing spots than at remote areas.
The study estimates that in heavily impacted zones, black carbon cuts snowpack by 23 millimeters yearly. Overall, tourism-related black carbon alone leads to 4.4 megatons of extra snow melting each summer, equal to 83 tons per visitor. Although these figures are striking, the real impact could be more complex than what the data suggest.
The paper argues that local emissions from research stations and tourist sites are likely the main source of the pollution. Ships, aircraft, generators and trucks all release black carbon. The authors suggest tourist cruises and fuel-powered equipment at research stations are the top polluters in the study area, even though measures like new fuel and deep cycle battery power have been adopted to ease tourism’s environmental footprint.
“Our results prove that far more remains to be done to reduce the impact of Antarctic tourism and ships,” the authors write.
12. What does the underlined word “culprit” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Harmful gas.
B．Main cause.
C．Useful energy.
D．Unexpected result.
13. How is black carbon produced in Antarctica
A．By winds blowing in from north.
B．By volcanic activities under the ice.
C．By fuel use in tourism and research.
D．By natural changes in temperature.
14. What do the figures in paragraph 5 most likely imply
A．The impacts of human activities may be underestimated.
B．The snowpack melting problem is greatly overstated.
C．Antarctica tourism should be banned for a good cause.
D．Every visitor is to blame for the melting snow.
15. What do the study authors think of current environmental efforts in Antarctica
A．They are a drop in the ocean.
B．They paint a rosy picture.
C．They boost Antarctica tourism.
D．They still show limited effect.

47. 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。
I loved exploring forests, observing plants, and listening to the chirping of birds with Jimmy, my little brother. Mom was always there with her camera, capturing each wonderful moment. These photos were arranged in an album. It held the sweet memories of my family, and I was never bored with opening it, as it always filled me with warmth. Life was simple until I asked for a new electronic game for my birthday. I was well-behaved, so my parents fulfilled my wish. But then everything changed.
The game was so amazing. As soon as I switched on the device, my ears stopped hearing external sounds. My back ached, but I couldn’t stop.
“Davey, wanna go out and play ” asked Jimmy, holding the ball.
“No, thanks,” I refused, without a second thought.
“But all our friends are waiting! You’ve been staying here every day playing that game,” Jimmy urged. I finally tore my eyes away, my voice sharp. “Can’t you see I’m busy Go play without me!” With that, Jimmy stormed out, his face reddened with anger.
Outside in the forest, the kids played ball and hide-and-seek, having loads of fun, while I spent the whole afternoon in the sofa, absorbed in the game until it was dark. It was days before I realized I hadn’t seen Jimmy around.
Each day brought a fresh battle. I resisted, but finally gave in. My fingers danced across the buttons as hours slipped by. Around 9 PM, Mom came and placed a glass of milk beside me.“Time for bed,” she whispered. I saw her worries — how could I not But click-clack noise covered Mom’s voice. When the final boss fell, my eyes burned. Walking half-asleep towards the bed, I noticed a photo album on the bedside table. The worn cover brought back memories.

五、读后续写范文
Absorbed in the photos, I didn’t notice Mom standing beside me. Every picture recorded happy moments Jimmy and I spent in woods. Mom said softly she missed our close time and the game had separated us. I felt ashamed and realized I’d ignored my little brother for the boring screen. I decided to put the game aside and make up to Jimmy.
Early next morning, ball in hand, I knocked on Jimmy’s door. I apologized sincerely for my rude words and asked him to play in the forest with me. A big smile appeared on his face. We ran, laughed and watched birds again, just like the old warm days. I knew real happiness lay in family companions instead of cold electronic games.
