文档简介

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
When I was young,strong heroes in my favorite novels gave me courage and provided a map for my life.And I didn’t discover the power of poetry until I was in my twenties and making my way in New York.That’s when life got serious and broke my heart.
A teacher who later became a dear friend introduced me to Edna St.Vincent Milly(ESVM),the famous poet who lived in Manhattan at the turn of the 20th century.One of my favorite possessions—a valuable first-edition copy of ESVM’s short poetry collection A Few Fig from Thistles—was a gift from this friend who was old enough to be my mother at the time.She told me the first “fig” described how I was living my life.My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah,my enemies,and oh,my friends—it gives a lovely night!
I was struggling to make ends meet but always made the time for fun by hanging out with friends.Some of them of course were careless with my heart but I would always find comfort and courage in ESVM’s wise words.
Rather than bore my friends,I would fall into my sorrow—whether it hit me—crying as much as I wanted in my bedroom.I found everything I needed in those 32 pages—hope,wisdom and encouragement.In the years since,I’ve found myself attracted to poetry whenever someone caused me pain.
Is it actually possible for something as common as a poem to save a life?I’m not certain of that but I can prove the power of words.Like a relaxing walk outside,poetry can provide a healthy distraction and a meaningful change in perspective.
Like music,poetry speaks a universal language of rhythm,and speaks truths in a language that describes emotions.So why not keep interested in poems

B
Obviously,much has been written about the wonders of the Internet,which has made our lives more convenient.However,people,particularly many older people around the world have at least one common concern:How to get younger people,addicted to their electronic devices,interested in classic literature through advanced and updated technologies.Take the Monkey King,or Sun Wukong,as an example.The main character in the 16th-century classic novel,Journey to the West,is a symbol of bravery and adventure that impressed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.
Havoc in Heaven,a new Peking Opera film,attracted the wider public to the beauty of the traditional Chinese performance art,featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West.This film,expected to create a new way to promote Peking Opera,includes nearly all the key ingredients (成分) of Peking Opera.It covers all the basic techniques,and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics.
It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film,each of which has its own characteristic.One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with keeping the basic performance skills in Peking Opera.
Some background images on stage remain,and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film,rather than employing the prerecorded music.“If we change traditions to satisfy people’s taste and preference for a regular film,it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said.
On the other hand,some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to record a stage puter technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes.
Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s,but they gave way to more various entertainment.In recent years,there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films.However,the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances.
5.What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A.To introduce a new Peking Opera film.
B.To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.
C.To express older people’s worry about the young generation’s life.
D.To inspire readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art.
6.What did Director Cheng do while producing the film
A.He made changes to basic performance skills.
B.He made use of symbols and motions equally.
C.He combined tradition and innovation together.
D.He brought onto the stage details of real life.
7.What innovation did Cheng’s team make
A.They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.
B.They enriched visual effects with modern technology.
C.They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.
D.They opposed a rigid and inflexible recording of the performance.
8.What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A.Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.
B.Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.
C.There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.
D.The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be given up for films.
