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. When did tea become a popular drink in Britain probably?
A. In the late 19th century. B. In the 18th century.
C. In the 17th century. D. In the 16th century.
【答案】C
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据文章第二段...early in the 17th century. During the next few year so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford 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。
14. The underlined words "this habit" in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. drinking tea with milk in it
B. drinking tea without milk in it
C. drinking tea after dinner
D. drinking tea in the afternoon
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查词义猜测题。根据文章第三段内容可知，英国人之前喝茶是不加牛奶的。有一天，一位名叫德·塞维尼夫人的法国著名女士在茶中加了牛奶，发现味道很好。后来她的朋友也仿照她的这一做法，后来这种习惯慢慢地传播到了英国。可知划线部分“this 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。
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The history of tea. B. The ways of making tea.
C. The birth of teatime. D. The habit of drinking tea.
【答案】C
【解析】本题考查段落大意题。根据最后一段内容和该段最后一句She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, teatime was born.可知，本段主要讲述了下午茶时间是如何诞生的，故选C项。

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；

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Peter suddenly fell and then was picked up and taken to a hospital. Peter was put on a bed, and a doctor began to try to discover what strange sickness had made him fall. Strangely, ten minutes later, the old gentleman was brought to the same hospital as well. He was put on another bed, and another doctor began to try to discover what his sickness could be. The two doctors carefully checked the two patients.
After finishing examining the two patients, the two doctors met and they talked about the causes of their sickness. Actually, the nice old gentleman had nothing to eat for three days. He was too hungry and almost starved to death. But he managed to save enough money to invite Peter to go to the same restaurant to eat. Meanwhile, Peter was too full and almost died from overeating. They just kept the tradition that every Thanksgiving Day the gentleman invited Peter to eat a big meal. They almost lost their lives for the sake of the tradition, which sounded ridiculous. However, they were friends and found comfort from each other.

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. When did tea become a popular drink in Britain probably?
A. In the late 19th century. B. In the 18th century.
C. In the 17th century. D. In the 16th century.
【答案】C
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据文章第二段...early in the 17th century. During the next few year so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford 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。
14. The underlined words "this habit" in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. drinking tea with milk in it
B. drinking tea without milk in it
C. drinking tea after dinner
D. drinking tea in the afternoon
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查词义猜测题。根据文章第三段内容可知，英国人之前喝茶是不加牛奶的。有一天，一位名叫德·塞维尼夫人的法国著名女士在茶中加了牛奶，发现味道很好。后来她的朋友也仿照她的这一做法，后来这种习惯慢慢地传播到了英国。可知划线部分“this 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。
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The history of tea. B. The ways of making tea.
C. The birth of teatime. D. The habit of drinking tea.
【答案】C

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；

【答案】
Peter suddenly fell and then was picked up and taken to a hospital. Peter was put on a bed, and a doctor began to try to discover what strange sickness had made him fall. Strangely, ten minutes later, the old gentleman was brought to the same hospital as well. He was put on another bed, and another doctor began to try to discover what his sickness could be. The two doctors carefully checked the two patients.
After finishing examining the two patients, the two doctors met and they talked about the causes of their sickness. Actually, the nice old gentleman had nothing to eat for three days. He was too hungry and almost starved to death. But he managed to save enough money to invite Peter to go to the same restaurant to eat. Meanwhile, Peter was too full and almost died from overeating. They just kept the tradition that every Thanksgiving Day the gentleman invited Peter to eat a big meal. They almost lost their lives for the sake of the tradition, which sounded ridiculous. However, they were friends and found comfort from each other.
