Question

阅读理解 　　Beijing, China's cultural center, is making its theatres and music halls more popular with ordinary people by reducing ticket prices and organizing more colorful performances． 　　Attending a performance or concert at weekends should no longer be a luxury, said Zhang Heping, director of the Beijing Municipal(市政府的)Cultural Bureau, at the government department's yearly work conference．Zhang put into a number of changes last year to increase audiences, such as designing some low-cost performances, the most popular of which was a show called“Open the Door of the Music”, aiming at students on summer vacation． 　　Previously(先前), performances had tickets priced at above 100 yuan－more than one tenth of the average monthly salary of a Beijing resident．But the low-cost shows would limit prices between 5 yuan and 30 yuan． 　　Zhang said it was wrong to believe that few people remained interested in cultural performances．“Tickets had simply been out of most people's reach,”Zhang said．More than 10 Beijing professional performance bodies have gradually been taken off government funding(投资)in recent years and have been left to fend for themselves．Zhang said“less profit, more audience”is better than“no profit and no audience”． 　　Beijing has planned to become an international city, but needs first-class cultural performances as well as first-rate infrastructure(基础设施)．Zhang also emphasizes the importance of large-scale(大型)activities, promising to organize more of them this year like open-air concerts performed by various amateur(业余)groups． (1) Beijing is making its theatres and music halls more popular with ordinary people because ________． [　　] A． it agrees with the development of modern society B． Beijing is trying its best to host the 2008 Olympic Games C． people can enjoy themselves there without paying money D． ticket prices are reduced and performances are more colorful (2) The underlined words“fend for”here mean“________”． [　　] A． support B． search C． promise D． find (3) The best title for the passage is“________”． [　　] A． Door to art and music opens wider in Beijing B． Making art more popular C． Beijing is improving its infrastructure D． Attract audience with special culture

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．A;3．A;
