四、阅读理解
（2023·内蒙古呼和浩特·中考真题）You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and
Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese?
Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions（《红楼梦》）,
written by Cao Xueqin（1715—1763）. Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being
performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017.
Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director
and playwrights（剧作家）. Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a
foreign-language opera.

The movie Home Coming took the lead in the box office during the National Day holiday.
It tells a story that took place in North Africa. After a war breaks out there, two Chinese diplomats（外交官）
are o 1 to help evacuate（撤离）the overseas Chinese. After completing the first task successfully, they
learn that another group of Chinese citizens is still in great d 2 . Realising that these people will die if they
don’t give a hand, the two men travel through the war area. They r 3 their lives to help over 100 Chinese
citizens go to a safe place. The movie not only shows how the two diplomats protect the people w 4 courage,
but also shows their deep love for the country and people.
Home Coming reminds many people of a similar real event which truly h 5 in Libya in 2011. Chinese
Embassy helped the evacuation of more than 30,000 Chinese citizens. Behind this event were many e 6 of
Chinese diplomats. After watching the film, a man recalled his personal e 7 11 years ago. “We are the lucky
ones b 8 we have a strong country and are well protected,” he said.
Home Coming is a hit partly because of the growing national pride and c 9 Chinese people have in
our country. A review reads, “Chinese passport might not get you anywhere you want, but it can always b 10
you back home.”
