The opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful in the United States. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.
One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers .They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday. And they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦樂隊) and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.
The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country， and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera ,Still ,most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities. And all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.
There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather .Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o’clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air ,but because the opera is good , these people come back again wearing warm coats.

But it's real a pity that you happened to be out. So I have to leave the tickets with this note. The opera will be put on by some famous actors or actresses. He is well worth watching.

I hope you will have good time.
Yours，

Workplaces all over the UK are preparing for Christmas and all the traditions and customs that come with it. But will this Christmas be a cause of happiness and celebration, or of disappointment and embarrassment?
At this time of year, colleges show their appreciation of each other by doing a “Secret Santa”. Secret Santa involves people who work together buying gifts for each other without saying who they are from.
Co-workers all write their names on pieces of paper, then organize a lottery in which each worker picks a colleague’s name at random. He then has to buy a present for that colleague, usually on a small budget of five or ten pounds.
Since the givers are unknown, the quality of presents can vary greatly. In an Internet survey of Secret Santa presents, the gifts that people received range from tickets to the opera to an air freshener for a car.
Another common workplace tradition is the office Christmas party, at which workmates put on their best clothes and enjoy lots of free wine.
Most parties go without a hitch, but sometimes the alcohol cause party-goers to behave in a way that they later regret.
The BBC invited people to share their most embarrassing Christmas office party stories, and received hundreds of funny ones. For example, a man split his trousers while dancing; a drunken lady spent the whole night with the edge of her dress folded into her pants, and later looked at photos that proved it at work.
But the funniest story must be that of Stuart Vanies, who got so drunk that he put his boss’s head into the toilet. Unsurprisingly, he was fired the very next day.
1. How many Christmas traditions are mentioned?
|
A．One. |
B．Two. |
C．Three. |
D．Four. |
2. We learn from this article that for Christmas ____________________.
|
A．few people buy presents for their colleagues in Britain |
|
B．British workers write their names on the presents they give their colleagues |
|
C．people usually give their colleagues presents of high quality |
|
D．British workers buy their presents based on an agreed budget |
3.The underlined phrase “without a hitch” in the sixth paragraph means _______________.
|
A．quite smoothly |
B．without a result |
|
C．with some difficulty |
D．quite unexpectedly |
4.The examples in the last two paragraphs are to ______________________.
|
A．show that most British people enjoy drinking wine |
|
B．a(chǎn)dvise readers not to drink wine at parties |
|
C．prove that funny things often happen at office Christmas parties |

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011福建省福州八縣（市）協(xié)作校高二下期末聯(lián)考英語試題 題型：閱讀理解
For a 400-year-old art form, operas had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which are hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $ 145 a performance, opera goers also have a certain appearance in people’s mind: rich, well-dressed and old.
But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to bring the opera to the audience. It needs to keep it alive, the young and not-so-rich.
Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. That means no formal suits, old-styled theatre or band-breaking ticket prices. And because young people don’t or won’t come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such unusual places as parks, libraries and public schools.
The Houston Grand Opera’s choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”, shortened versions (劇本) of child-friendly operas. This summer’s production is Hansel & Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists’ Training Program.
1.Which is the main idea of this passage?
A．Opera is famous for its long history.
B．Opera is only for rich people.
C．Opera companies are trying to keep opera alive.
D．Young people are not interested in opera.
2.The underlined part in paragraph 2 means ______.
A．breaking up the old rules B．changing the formal suits
C．making the audience at ease D．a(chǎn)dvertising themselves
3.Opera companies prefer to perform smaller versions because .
A．they can be performed in public libraries
B．short versions are easy to perform
C．it is hard to find long versions
D．they can make people interested
4.The San Francisco Opera Company employs student actors in order to ______.
A．a(chǎn)ttract young people B．reduce the cost
C．celebrate its 75th anniversary D．make Cinderella popular
5.What can you infer from the passage?
A．The tickets for operas are very expensive at present.
B．Operas are performed in a difficult language difficult to understand.
C．Operas are not so popular an art form today.
D．Students enjoy performing operas very much.
