21、   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.

22、You may often hear some myths（传言）about animals. For example, one dog year equals about seven human years, chameleons（变色龙）change color to match their environment... Today, let's talk about birds. It is said that if you touch a baby bird, the parents will completely abandon（抛弃）it. Do you really believe it?

In fact, most birds have a very poor sense of smell, so in most cases they are unable to even notice the smell of humans on baby birds. Not only that, but most types of birds aren't so quick to abandon their young when they sense danger. Some types will even do their best to protect their young when they are in danger.

Indeed, in very few known cases, parent birds sometimes abandoned their nests from something touching their young, just because they noticed it by sight, not smell. When this happens, the parent birds usually won't care, other than to be a little more careful than normal. Sometimes, they may temporarily（暂时地）abandon the nest in order to better watch whatever disturbed their nest comes back.

What's more, in most cases, even if the nest is destroyed by wind or something to that effect, you could create a new one and put all the baby birds back in it, and when the parents came back, they wouldn't care their baby birds were in a different nest, so long as you put the new nest near where the old one was so they can find it.

【1】Which of the following is true?

A．Birds have a very good sense of smell.

B．A baby bird will die soon if it is touched by someone.

C．Whatever disturbed the nest will never come back.

D．Some birds will protect their babies when they are in danger.

A．Their nest.

A．will never come back

B．will worry about their babies

C．won't mind

D．will take their babies away

【4】Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage?

“But I practise all the time with you! I just can’t play well when people are watching me,” Bill said.

“You play well when I’m watching.”
