【答案与解析】本文向读者介绍了一段对话，对话中的每一句话都被省略成了一个单词。

1. D。词义判断题。文章先说在日常的 conversation 中，人们经常省略句子，接着就介绍了一段对话，所以可以推出 conversation 就是“对话、谈话”之意，因此答案为 D。

2. A。语义理解题。根据 Mr Smith, a fisherman 可判断出对话的意思是：Mr Green问“去了吗?” Mr Smith回答说“去过了。” Mr Green 又问“钓到鱼了吗?” Mr Smith 回答说“钓到了一些。” Mr Green 又问“是大鱼吗?”Mr Smith 回答说“是些小鱼。” 由此可判断出 A 项说法正确，所以答案为 A。

3. C。主旨题。作者介绍这段对话的目的就想说明人们在日常谈话中对句子的省略。所以此题答案为 C。

 

    (2) 

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 the 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 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.
