Module 3Music(限时：35分钟)(对应学生用书第313页).阅读理解A(2018太原二模)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 tradition.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 multimilliondollar 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 (排练) 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 operas 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.【语篇解读】本文主要讨论了歌剧所面临的挑战和困难。1Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?AOpera singers life stories are dramatic.BOpera will soon appear on TV and in films.COpera
