Turandot, an opera based on an Italian drama by the same name, is by far considered to be one of Puccini's most popular and most performed works. It's a pity that Puccini had no chance to watch his own great opera himself. 3 In this opera you can hear a traditional Chinese folk song, which is titled Molihua or Jasmine Flower. 4 Among them the version sung in Jiangsu, a province in the south of China, is the most popular one. By admiring the jasmine flower, the song celebrates the sweetness and beauty of romantic love. 5 In 1804 the song was published in a book by a British diplomat, making it the first Chinese folk song that gained popularity outside China. A.Turandot is performed regularly all over the world.B.At the end of the 18th century, it was first translated into English.C.It's believed that Puccini's operas are strong in emotion and conflict.D.The opera was first performed in 1926, two years after Puccini's death.E.During his music career, Puccini was also influenced by other musicians.F.Though Puccini received training in various areas of music, his true love was in opera.G.There are many different versions of Molihua or Jasmine Flower in different parts of China.一、单句语法填空1.to be considered/considering考查deserve的用法。句意:你在会上提出的关于延长退休年龄的这个建议值得考虑。deserve to be done=deserve doing表示“值得被做”。2.into考查固定搭配。句意:这家公司已被转变为一家实力雄厚的公司,决定把业务扩展到欧洲。transform.into.为固定搭配,意为“把改变成”。这里为被动语态。3.Surrounded考查过去分词。句意:这个公园被一条河包围着,中央有一个池塘,池塘里漂着花。be surrounded by表示“被包围”。这里用过去分词作状语。4.adaptation考查名词。句意:你认为这部电影改编本忠于原著吗?由句意可知,此处表示电影的改编本,故用adapt的名词形式。二、完成句子1.deserve a better future2.tired but happy3.as if she were三、阅读理解1.A细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，郎朗在北京奥运会开幕式上的表演吸引了50多亿的电视观众，而不是因为他有50多亿的粉丝才成了中国第一的古典艺术家。2.B词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“while still a student”可知，郎朗在Carnegie Hall (卡内基音乐大厅)演奏时还是个学生。据此可以判断，他是第一次在这里登台演出。3.A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But can China introduce its own music to the west? Lang is trying.”可知，郎朗在努力将中国音乐推向全世界。4.C段落大意题。文章最后一段主要描述了郎朗童年时练习弹钢琴的艰苦经历。四、七选五1.F根据上文Giacomo Puccini was born in 1858 and was a son of a musical director.可知, Giacomo Puccini出生于1858年,是一个指挥家的儿子;结合后文He is remembered as a master of opera.可知,他作为一位歌剧大师而出名。所以推断出,本句承接上文继续介绍Giacomo Puccini的个人情况。因此F项“尽管Puccini接受过各种音乐领域的培训,但他真正热爱的是歌剧”符合语境,承上启下。故选F。2.E根据后文内容可知,许多印象主义音乐的先驱者,包括Rimsky-Korsakov、Strauss、Schoenberg和Stravinsky,都给了他很大的启发。由此可知,本段介绍了给Puccini启发的一些音乐家。E项中“other musicians”与此处“Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Schoenberg and Stravinsky”呼应,所以E项“在他的音乐生涯中,Puccini也受到了其他音乐家的影响”符合语境,引起下文。故选E。3.D根据上文It's a pity that Puccini had no chance to watch his own great opera himself.可知,遗憾的是,Puccini没有机会亲自观看他自己的伟大歌剧。由此可知,本句承接上文具体说明Puccini没有亲自看到自己的歌剧的原因,是因为这部歌剧是在他去世之后上演的。所以D项“这部歌剧在1926年首次上演,也就是Puccini去世两年之后”符合语境,承接上文。故选D。4.G根据上文In this opera you can hear a traditional Chinese folk song, which is titled Molihua or Jasmine Flower.可知,在这部歌剧中,你可以听到一首中国传统民歌,叫作茉莉花;结合后文Among them the version sung in Jiangsu, a province in the south of China, is the most popular one.可知,其中最受欢迎的版本是在中国南方的江苏省传唱的一版。由此可知,本句承接上文说明茉莉花这首歌的信息,介绍茉莉花在中国不同地区有不同的版本。所以G项“在中国的不同地区有许多不同版本的茉莉花”符合语境,承上启下。故选G。5.B根据后文内容可知,1804年,这首歌被一名英国外交官出版成书,成为第一首在国外流行的中国民歌。由此可知,本句应当是在说明茉莉花这首歌在18世纪末第一次被翻译成英语以照应下文1804年出版。所以B项“在18世纪末,它第一次被翻译成英语”符合语境,故选B。第9页（共9页）
