II  阅读理解(共25小题。第一节每小题2分,第二节每小题1分;满分45分)

第一节    阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项( A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

  The Opera house in Santa Fe. New Mexico is one of the most beautiful ones 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 the 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(管弦乐队) 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 the 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 operas are good, these people come back again---wearing warm coats.

  41.This passage mainly introduces _____.

  A. a mountain city B. young musicians C. an opera house D. the tourism in Santa Fe

  42.Young singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because _____.

  A. the music quality is high       B. they enjoy the climate there

  C. they want to be famous        D. they like the scenery there

 43.It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because _____.

  A. it is only a very small place  B. it is between the mountain and desert

  C. all the seats are old for every show  D. musicians there are from the best orchestras

 44.From the passage, we can learn that _____.

 A. the opera house is open without any roofs  B. musicians always spend vacations in Santa Fe

 C. the government advertises to attract more musicians

  D. performances are held in Santa Fe only after sunset

 45.The underlined word“advertise”in Paragraph 3 means _____.

  A. forces others to read  B. cheats people to come C. supports D. praises
