21、   It may be hard to believe, but the American Revolution—the war that freed the American states from British control—began over a cup of tea. Tea was not the only thing that caused the war, of course, but it played a very big part.

The British people’s love of tea is well-known. When the British won control over much of North America in the early 1700s, they brought their tea-drinking habits with them. Tea quickly became the continent’s most popular drink. As tea could not be grown locally, just as in Britain, it was shipped into the country—mostly from India.

In the early 1700s, the Britain government made a special deal with the East India Company, as an English trading company. They agreed that no other company was allowed to bring tea to Britain or any country controlled by Britain, including America. It was a great deal for the East India Company, since it meant that the company could decide whatever price it wanted for its products. And it always decided on a high price!

In North America, the local people did not like having to pay such high prices. Instead of overpaying for tea from the British, they turned to Dutch traders, who secretly brought tea to the country that was just as good and much less expensive. Although this broke the law, the American people didn’t care. They got the same cup of tea at a much lower price.

The East India Company, however, didn’t like this at all. By the 1760s, they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch traders—a huge amount of money in a time when $60 a year was considered a good income. Instead of reducing their prices to compete with the Dutch, the company asked the British government for help and the government agreed.

In 1767, the British introduced new law that increased the prices of all goods which were brought into America. These laws helped make the East India Company even richer and forced local people to pay much more for everything. The American leaders asked the British government not to do so, but the British refused to listen. These unfair laws increased Americans’ anger about British rule and the rest, as they say, is history.

【1】In the early 1700s where did most tea drunk in America come from?

A．China.

B．India.

C．America.

D．Britain.

【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

【3】Why did many Americans begin to buy tea from the Dutch traders?

A．The tea was much cheaper.

B．The tea was a lot healthier.

D．They didn’t want to support the British.

【4】What did the East India Company do to stop losing money?

A．It reduced the price of its tea.

B．It improved the taste of its tea.

C．It introduced a new kind of tea.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

23、   Beijing Opera is one of the most important opera styles in China. It is an art on the stage. It has about 200 years’ history. It is not only a treasure of the Chinese nation but also a cultural symbol of China. Similar to the western operas, the Beijing Opera is a combination of singing, dancing, martial arts, music and literature, so it is  also called the “Oriental(东方的) Opera” by western people.

Beijing Opera uses special imagery in creating the characters. All roles are divided according to sex, personality, age, profession and social status. Hangdang is the general term for role types in Beijing Opera. There are four types of roles in Beijing Opera today. They are sheng, dan, jing and chou. The sheng is the male protagonist, the dan the female protagonist, the jing(painted face) a male supporting role with different characteristics, and chou(clown) a comic or negative figure. Each kind of role has their own face-painting and dressing to indicate their identities.

The opera’s performance requires not only the mellow voice but also the proficiency of martial actions. A successful opera actor must suffer from the tough practising period. In the old time, the children of poor families were sent to the opera group in order to earn a living. While now, the real opera artists are well respected by opera lovers.

Mei Lanfang, one of the most remarkable performing artists in Beijing Opera, was born in Beijing into a poor family. His life was bitter and he had no opportunity to go to school, so he went to the troupe(剧团) when he was 8 years old to learn the Beijing Opera. Mr Mei was on the stage when he was 11 years old to perform the plays of the Beijing Opera. He has been an opera actor for more than 50 years, performing hundreds of traditional plays and over 30 modern plays. He portrayed many bright and lifelike female figures on the stage and became the model in Chinese Beijing Opera and even within the entire artistic circle.

【1】Why is Beijing Opera called the “Oriental Opera” by western people?

A.Because western people like it very much.

B.Because Beijing Opera is the same as the western opera.

C.Because Beijing Opera is similar to the western opera.

D.Because Beijing Opera is different from the western opera.

【2】According to the article, how many types of roles are there in Beijing Opera?

A.3 B.4. C.5. D.6

【3】In the old time, who would be sent to learn Beijing Opera?

A.Kids from the poor family. B.Kids from the rich family.

C.Kids who were interested in it. D.Kids who were good at martial arts.

【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A.The requirements of performing Beijing Opera. B.Different characters in Beijing Opera.

C.A famous opera artist—Mei Lanfang. D.The introduction of Beijing Opera.

【5】Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A.Beijing Opera is treasure of our nation and also a cultural symbol of China.

B.Different roles use different dressing and face-painting to show identities.

C.The performance of Beijing Opera needs both good voice and martial arts.

D.The opera artists are not well-respected by opera lovers nowadays.

24、   When I was a child, I loved to watch cartoons. I still do. My favourite is Tom and Jerry. It’s funny. There are some cartoons that they do not show on TV any more. I miss them.

Cartoons are great because you don’t need to think. It’s not like the movies such as The Da Vinci Code and Inception where you always want to ask “What’s happening?” My favourite cartoon is SpongeBob SquarePants.
