题目解答
答案
（1）A.段落大意题。根据文章第二段第一句"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."（京剧产生于18世纪末，已有200多年的历史，其起源可以追溯到一些古老的地方戏剧，尤其是徽剧。）及后两句内容可知，第二段主要是介绍了京剧的起源和历史。故选A项。
（2）B.细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句"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."（一般来说，"唱"意味着唱歌，"念"就是背诵和口头交流，"做"意味着面部和身体表情表演，"打"是中国功夫。）可知，"念"就是口头交流，即向另外一个人说些什么。故选B项。
（3）D.推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句"Chou is easily understood from the role's name as a clown with an ugly appearance，who is to provide light relief and comedy."（从这个角色的名字就很容易理解丑就是一个长相丑陋的小丑，他给观众带来了轻松和喜剧。） 可知，在舞台上鼻子都是白色的滑稽演员扮演的是小丑的角色。故选D项。
（4）D.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段倒数第二句"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."（京剧在全国广泛传播，影响深远，蕴含着中华民族文化的精神，但进入21世纪，资金短缺成为京剧的一大问题。）可知，进入21世纪后，资金短缺问题对京剧来说是一个大问题，所以推出京剧的前景有太多的不确定。故选D项。
