2．Port Lympne Reserve，which runs a breeding（繁育） programme，has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf（犀牛幼崽）.When the tiny creature arrived on January 31，she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve.And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival，especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity（圈養(yǎng)）.
Paul Beer，head of the rhino section at Port Lympne，said： "Obviously we're all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family.She's healthy，strong and already eager to play and explore.Her mother，Solio，is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job.It's still a little too cold for them to go out into the open，but as soon as the weather warms up，I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day."
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve，but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild.The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32 kg.His mother，grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.

3．Opera is an art form that celebrates the human voice.No other art form creates excitement and moves the heart in the way that opera does，especially when performed by a great singer.Opera is an important part of the Western classical music tradjye.aiion.It uses music，words，and actions to bring a dramatic story to life.Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century and later became popular throughout Europe.Over the years，it has responded to various musicals.In recent decades，much wider audiences have been introduced to opera through modern recording technology.Some singers have become celebrities thanks to performing on radio，on TV，and in the cinema.
However，in recent years，opera has been facing serious challenges.One current challenge to opera is economics.The shortage of money raises the broader question of how much should be paid to support opera singers and other artists.Society seems to accept the large salaries paid to business managers and the multi-million-dollar contracts given to sports athletes.But what about opera singers？Somehow，people have the idea that artists can be creative only if they suffer in poverty，but this is unrealistic.If artists，including opera singers，lack the support they need，valuable talent is wasted.
Not only the shortage of money，but also the way money is managed in the opera world has led to hardships.Principal singers are generally paid performance fees once they complete a show.They typically receive nothing during the many weeks of rehearsal （排練） before a show starts.
Another problem faced by opera is how to meet the demands of audiences who are influenced by popular entertainment.Pop singers are often judged as much on the basis of how they look as how they sound.These demands may be unrealistic and possibly harmful.Opera singers simply cannot make a sound big enough to fill a large theater or concert hall without a microphone if their body weight is too low.Emphasizing physical appearance over singing ability may cause audiences to miss out on the human voice at its best.
There are no easy solutions to opera's problems and there are many different opinions about the value of opera.However，every year many young people register for music courses with hopes and dreams of developing their talent in this special art form.The fact that opera has survived many obstacles and continues to attract the rising generation shows that it remains a respectable art form full of value.
（1）Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage？
A．Opera singers' life stories are dramatic.
B．Opera will soon appear on TV and in films.
C．Opera fans thank celebrities for performing.
D．Opera develops by adapting to new conditions.
（2）What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3？
A．Opera singers are financially insecure.
B．Opera singers waste their valuable talent.
C．Opera singers get paid before the show.
D．Opera singers perform better if they are poor.
（3）What does the author try to say in Paragraph 4？
A．Popular culture has had a positive influence on opera.
B．Audiences know best how opera should be performed.
C．Microphones should be used to make opera more enjoyable.
D．Opera singers' voices should be valued more than their looks.
（4）What would be the best title for this passage？
A．The Economic Challenge to Opera
B．Opera Faced with the Difficulties
C．Opera as Part of Popular Culture
D．The Historical Context of Opera組卷：5引用：1難度：0.5
