Adaptation and innovation （创新） of traditional opera is an important trend in Chinese opera circle in recent years. In order to attract young audience of new generation and catch up with the time， traditional opera circle makes efforts to create new works. In recent years， traditional opera has come across the change of time and society. It gradually lost the main elderly audience and was not attractive for the young.
In order to find new opportunities， using modern sound， light and digital stage effects， China’s traditional Peking Opera， also known as jingju， is appealing to young people in a fashionable and innovative way， as the classic art faces an aging audience.
The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing has introduced fashionable performances of Peking Opera. The opera combines instrumental music， vocal performance， mime （哑剧表演）， dance and acrobatics （杂技）.
Tianleyuan has a jingju art experience section and fashionable performances. It has attracted more than 2，000 audience members， mostly young people， according to theater staff.
“Good art should keep pace with the times， so does jingju，” said Zhang Zishang， a 22-year-old performer of The Drunken Beauty， one of the classic jingju plays performed in the theater. “I feel today’s performance is very special，” Zhang added. She was born into a family of jingju performers and has had 10 years of stage experience. “Innovation is good， but we must also carry on the basic elements of jingju，” another young performer Deng said.
According to Deng， innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience. It has made successful attempts to combine jingju with local opera forms such as ballet when organizing performances abroad. “Innovation can help traditional arts go further. We are happy to see many young faces， and some of them even come twice to experience the ‘new’ art，” she added.

It was a warm evening in August 1995. Robert Blocker was driving to Yale University after being appointed as the university’s Dean （院长） of Music. He didn’t expect to see many people， but a couple of students met him and showed him around.
“When I looked at the history of the university and how people are devoted to the school’s art programs， I was honored by the chance to work there. I could not wait for the next day to start my job.

With some 50 million copies in print， Johanna Spyri’s Heidi is probably the biggest Swiss bestseller of all time.So it’s not a surprise that there have been many film adaptations.The latest one， directed by Alain Gsponer， is a live-action， German-language feature that’s simply titled Heidi as well.
Heidi’s impressive box-office numbers prove that the world was ready for yet another version of this old-fashioned tale.The feature made over $15.5 million in Germany and Switzerland alone.Even more impressive are the numbers in Italy and France （not generally areas where German-language children’s films stand any chance）.
Gsponer’s film follows the basic structure of the 1881 novel.5-year-old Heidi is shipped off by her aunt， Dete， to her don’t-waste-any-words grandfather， who lives alone in a small wooden house high up in the Swiss Alps.He is not pleased to see his routine in the peaceful mountain air messed up by a curious little girl who needs looking after.The film doesn’t lay stress on the point， but even for those who haven’t read the book， it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the lovely little girl will soon manage to melt Granddad’s icy heart.
At age 8， Heidi is taken away to Frankfurt， where her aunt has found her a rich family as a companion （伙伴） to a wheelchair-bound child， Klara.As in the novel， the film plays Heidi’s initial fish-out-of-the-water situation for comedy， since， as a country girl， she has no idea about things as basic as clean clothes or table manners.Actually， in the midsection， the girls’ strict governess （女家庭教师） gets some of the biggest laughs.
This is also a plot necessity.Heidi will need to start to feel homesick.She misses not only Grandpa but also her cute goat-herder friend， Peter.She does get to see them again.
Throughout the movie， Gsponer keeps contrasting （对比） different elements， including the seasons， the city and the country and even characters， such as the dark-haired and earthy Heidi and the fair-skinned and fair-haired city girl Klara.These natural contrasts help give a sense of agreement to a plot.
9.What does the author want to show by mentioning the box-office numbers？（ ）
A.Gsponer’s Heidi is a big success.
B.A lot of people understand German.
C.It is a great idea to adapt a novel.
D.Heidi’s story is too old to be popular.
10.Why is Heidi’s grandpa unhappy about her arrival？（ ）
A.Heidi needs a house.
B.He is not wealthy.
C.Heidi behaves badly.
D.He prefers to live alone.
11.Which best describes Heidi’s initial life in the rich family according to Paragraph 4？（ ）
A.She fits in well.
B.She feels out of place.
C.She feels lonely.
D.She laughs at governess.
12.What is the text？（ ）

B.An introduction to a book.
C.A film review.
D.A script of a documentary.

When HAMLET meets PEKING OPERA
I thought I knew a lot about Hamlet.As a high school student [1]with English literature as one of my main subjects， I have to！ Shakespeare’s Hamlet is probably the most important play① by the most important writer in English.Almost everybody knows [2]“To be， or not to be”， right？ [3]Having seen quite a few productions② of Hamlet and read the play many times， I was full of confidence③ — until the Peking Opera came to town！
[1]本句中 with English literature ... subjects为with复合结构，作后置定语，修饰前面的student；English literature作宾语，介词短语as ... subjects作宾语补足语；后面 I have to是I have to know a lot about Hamlet的省略。
[2]“To be， or not to be”全句是“To be， or not to be — that is the question.”这是《哈姆雷特》中丹麦王子的经典独白。该句意为：“生存还是毁灭？这是一个值得考虑的问题。”
[3]本句是一个主从复合句。其中，until ... came to town为时间状语从句。在前面的主句中，Having seen ... times为动词-ing短语作原因状语。因为动词-ing所表示的动作发生在主句谓语所表示的动作之前，所以用了动词-ing的完成式。
[4]Dating back to the 18th century， Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history.Does this mean it’s easier than a Shakespeare play to understand？ To find out the answer， I just had to go and see The Revenge④ of Prince Zidan — the Peking Opera version⑤ of Hamlet.
[4]本句为简单句。Dating back to the 18th century在句中作状语，因为date back to与其逻辑主语Peking Opera之间为主谓关系，故用动词-ing形式。
[5]Starting with an orchestra playing traditional Chinese instruments⑥， the opera brought a completely new sound to my Western ears.[6]At first， I thought what I heard was a violin， but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings⑦ called jinghu. Then， seeing the main characters come on stage， I was surprised！ The costumes and masks were amazing.The performers of course sang in Chinese， but the music， exaggerated⑧movements and mime⑨ helped get the meanings across⑩ to the audience.The voices themselves sounded really unique — some of the female voices were so high that I was sure they could break glass！ And the stage was really simple： a decorated whip represented a horse， and a screen with Chinese characters ， a study . [7]Using such techniques ， the opera had transformed a small stage into the whole universe .
[5]Starting with ... instruments为动词-ing短语作方式状语。Start with意为“以……开始”， playing traditional Chinese instruments作后置定语，修饰an orchestra。
[6]该句是由but连接的并列句。what I heard was a violin为省略了that的宾语从句，作thought的宾语，其中what I heard是what引导的主语从句，在该宾语从句中作主语。that it was ... jinghu是that引导的宾语从句，作learnt的宾语。with two strings中的with为介词，意为“具有，带有”，called jinghu为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰an instrument。
[7]动词-ing短语作方式状语。
Easily my favourite part of the show was how the characters moved on stage.[8]I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip before！ That was simply incredible .[9]It was so dazzling and energetic that I wasn’t sure if the characters were performers or athletes！ Everyone was clapping .
[8]该句用了过去完成时。had never done sth before 表示“过去从未做过某事”。
[9]本句是一个主从复合句。so ... that ... 意为“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句。在该从句中，if ... athletes为if引导的宾语从句，作sure的宾语。
Before experiencing The Revenge of Prince Zidan， I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it.But， in fact， I was on the edge of my seat！ [10]Feeling the strong emotions of love， anger ， fear and grief in the performance， I could easily recognise the theme of Hamlet.So， [11]if you want to see a show that combines music， singing， drama， poetry and costume design with explosive effect，The Revenge of Prince Zidan ticks all the right boxes ！
[10]动词-ing短语作原因状语。
[11]此处是if引导的条件状语从句，在该从句中，that引导定语从句，修饰先行词a show。

【参考译文】
当《哈姆雷特》遇上京剧
我本以为自己对于《哈姆雷特》了解得相当多。作为高中生，英国文学是我的一门主课，《哈姆雷特》是我必学的内容！莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》应该是最重要的英语作家创作的最重要的戏剧了。几乎人人都知道“生存，还是毁灭”，对吗？我看过好几部《哈姆雷特》的影视作品，这部戏剧我也读过很多遍了，因此（对于了解《哈姆雷特》这方面）我信心满满——直到城里来了京剧表演！
京剧的起源可追溯到18世纪，距今已有两百多年的历史。这是否意味着京剧比莎士比亚的戏剧更好懂呢？为了找到答案，我必须去看看《王子复仇记》——京剧版的《哈姆雷特》。
戏一开场，是乐队弹奏中国传统乐器，我这个西方人的耳朵听到了一种全新的声音。起初，我以为我听到的是小提琴的声音，不过后来我才了解到那是一种有两根弦的乐器，叫作京胡。然后，看到主要人物登场时，我感到十分惊奇！那些戏服和脸谱都令人惊艳。当然，演员们的唱词是中文的，但观众可以借助伴奏、夸张的动作和形体模仿来理解表演内容。那些唱腔听起来非常独特——有的女声音调之高，我觉得都能震碎玻璃了！舞台的布置非常简单：有装饰的马鞭就代表马，写有汉字的屏风就代表书房。通过这些方法，京剧将小小的舞台变成了浩瀚的宇宙。
毫无疑问，演出中我最喜欢的部分是人物在舞台上的动作。我可从没见过哈姆雷特王子表演后空翻！这可真是不可思议！那眼花缭乱的动作充满力量，我都不知道扮演这些人物的到底是演员还是运动员！大家都使劲儿鼓掌。
在亲身体验《王子复仇记》之前，我不知道自己会不会喜欢（京剧）。可实际上，我看得超级投入！通过从表演中感受到的爱、怒、惧、哀等强烈情感，我很容易就能看出（戏中体现的）《哈姆雷特》的主题。所以，如果你想要看一场融合了音乐、演唱、戏剧、诗歌以及惊艳服饰的表演，《王子复仇记》再合适不过了！

When HAMLET meets PEKING OPERA
I thought I knew a lot about Hamlet.As a high school student [1]with
English literature as one of my main subjects， I have to！
Shakespeare’s Hamlet is probably the most important play① by the most
important writer in English.Almost everybody knows [2]“To be， or not
to be”， right？ [3]Having seen quite a few productions② of Hamlet and
read the play many times， I was full of confidence③ — until the Peking
Opera came to town！
[1]本句中 with English literature ... subjects为with复合结构，作
后置定语，修饰前面的student；English literature作宾语，介词短语
as ... subjects作宾语补足语；后面 I have to是I have to know a lot
about Hamlet的省略。
[2]“To be， or not to be”全句是“To be， or not to be — that is
the question.”这是《哈姆雷特》中丹麦王子的经典独白。该句意
为：“生存还是毁灭？这是一个值得考虑的问题。”
[3]本句是一个主从复合句。其中，until ... came to town为时间
状语从句。在前面的主句中，Having seen ... times为动词-ing短语作
原因状语。因为动词-ing所表示的动作发生在主句谓语所表示的动作
之前，所以用了动词-ing的完成式。
【读文清障】
①play n.戏剧，剧本
put on （＝perform） a play 演出戏剧
②production n.（电影、戏剧或广播节目的）上映，上演，播
出，制作
③be full of confidence 满怀信心
[4]Dating back to the 18th century， Peking Opera has over two
hundred years of history.Does this mean it’s easier than a Shakespeare
play to understand？ To find out the answer， I just had to go and see The
Revenge④ of Prince Zidan — the Peking Opera version⑤ of Hamlet.
[4]本句为简单句。Dating back to the 18th century在句中作状
语，因为date back to与其逻辑主语Peking Opera之间为主谓关系，故
用动词-ing形式。
④revenge n.报复，报仇
take （one’s） revenge on sb 对某人复仇
seek revenge for 寻找报仇的机会
⑤version n.版本
a screen version of a novel 根据小说改编的电影
[5]Starting with an orchestra playing traditional Chinese instruments
⑥， the opera brought a completely new sound to my Western ears.[6]At
first， I thought what I heard was a violin， but later I learnt that it was an
instrument with two strings⑦ called jinghu.
Then， seeing the main characters come on stage， I was surprised！ The
costumes and masks were amazing.The performers of course sang in
Chinese， but the music， exaggerated⑧movements and mime⑨ helped
get the meanings across⑩ to the audience.The voices themselves sounded
really unique — some of the female voices were so high that I was sure
they could break glass！ And the stage was really simple： a decorated
whip represented a horse， and a screen with Chinese characters ， a
study . [7]Using such techniques ， the opera had transformed a
small stage into the whole universe .
[5]Starting with ... instruments为动词-ing短语作方式状语。Start
with意为“以……开始”， playing traditional Chinese instruments作后
置定语，修饰an orchestra。
[6]该句是由but连接的并列句。what I heard was a violin为省略了
that的宾语从句，作thought的宾语，其中what I heard是what引导的主
语从句，在该宾语从句中作主语。that it was ... jinghu是that引导的
宾语从句，作learnt的宾语。with two strings中的with为介词，意为
“具有，带有”，called jinghu为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰an
instrument。
[7]动词-ing短语作方式状语。
⑥instrument n.乐器
wind instruments 管乐器，吹奏乐器
stringed instruments 弦乐器
⑦string n.（乐器的）弦
⑧exaggerated adj.（声音或动作）夸张的
exaggeratedly adv.夸张地；夸大地
⑨mime n.（演戏等时的）做手势（或其他示意动作）
⑩get across 解释清楚，传达
female adj.女（性）的
male adj.男（性）的
whip n.鞭子
screen n.屏风，隔板
Chinese characters 汉字
study n.书房
technique n.技巧，手法
transform v.使改观，使变形，使转化
transform ...into ...将……转变成……
universe n.宇宙，天地，万物

Easily my favourite part of the show was how the characters moved
on stage.[8]I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip before！ That
was simply incredible .[9]It was so dazzling and energetic that I
wasn’t sure if the characters were performers or athletes！ Everyone was
clapping .
[8]该句用了过去完成时。had never done sth before 表示“过去
从未做过某事”。
[9]本句是一个主从复合句。so ... that ... 意为“如此……以至
于……”，引导结果状语从句。在该从句中，if ... athletes为if引导
的宾语从句，作sure的宾语。
incredible adj.难以置信的
[近义] unbelievable adj.难以置信的，惊人的
energetic adj.精力充沛的，充满活力的
energy n.[U] 精力，活力；力量；能源
clap v.拍（手），鼓（掌）
clap one’s hands 拍手
cheer and clap 欢呼鼓掌
Before experiencing The Revenge of Prince Zidan， I wasn’t sure if
I would enjoy it.But， in fact， I was on the edge of my seat！
[10]Feeling the strong emotions of love， anger ， fear and grief in
the performance， I could easily recognise the theme of Hamlet.So，
[11]if you want to see a show that combines music， singing， drama，
poetry and costume design with explosive effect，The Revenge of
Prince Zidan ticks all the right boxes ！
[10]动词-ing短语作原因状语。
[11]此处是if引导的条件状语从句，在该从句中，that引导定语
从句，修饰先行词a show。
edge n.[C] 边缘
on the edge of one’s seat 极为激动
be on edge 紧张不安，激动，烦躁
emotion n.强烈的情感
anger n.[U] 愤怒，怒火

tick all the right boxes 事情发展如人所愿，一切顺利
【参考译文】
当《哈姆雷特》遇上京剧
我本以为自己对于《哈姆雷特》了解得相当多。作为高中生，英国文
学是我的一门主课，《哈姆雷特》是我必学的内容！莎士比亚的《哈
姆雷特》应该是最重要的英语作家创作的最重要的戏剧了。几乎人人
都知道“生存，还是毁灭”，对吗？我看过好几部《哈姆雷特》的影
视作品，这部戏剧我也读过很多遍了，因此（对于了解《哈姆雷特》
这方面）我信心满满——直到城里来了京剧表演！
京剧的起源可追溯到18世纪，距今已有两百多年的历史。这是否意味
着京剧比莎士比亚的戏剧更好懂呢？为了找到答案，我必须去看看
《王子复仇记》——京剧版的《哈姆雷特》。
戏一开场，是乐队弹奏中国传统乐器，我这个西方人的耳朵听到了一
种全新的声音。起初，我以为我听到的是小提琴的声音，不过后来我
才了解到那是一种有两根弦的乐器，叫作京胡。然后，看到主要人物
登场时，我感到十分惊奇！那些戏服和脸谱都令人惊艳。当然，演员
们的唱词是中文的，但观众可以借助伴奏、夸张的动作和形体模仿来
理解表演内容。那些唱腔听起来非常独特——有的女声音调之高，我
觉得都能震碎玻璃了！舞台的布置非常简单：有装饰的马鞭就代表
马，写有汉字的屏风就代表书房。通过这些方法，京剧将小小的舞台
变成了浩瀚的宇宙。
毫无疑问，演出中我最喜欢的部分是人物在舞台上的动作。我可从没
见过哈姆雷特王子表演后空翻！这可真是不可思议！那眼花缭乱的动
作充满力量，我都不知道扮演这些人物的到底是演员还是运动员！大
家都使劲儿鼓掌。
在亲身体验《王子复仇记》之前，我不知道自己会不会喜欢（京
剧）。可实际上，我看得超级投入！通过从表演中感受到的爱、怒、
惧、哀等强烈情感，我很容易就能看出（戏中体现的）《哈姆雷特》
的主题。所以，如果你想要看一场融合了音乐、演唱、戏剧、诗歌以
及惊艳服饰的表演，《王子复仇记》再合适不过了！

Adaptation and innovation （创新） of traditional opera is an
important trend in Chinese opera circle in recent years. In order to attract
young audience of new generation and catch up with the time， traditional
opera circle makes efforts to create new works. In recent years，
traditional opera has come across the change of time and society. It
gradually lost the main elderly audience and was not attractive for the
young.
In order to find new opportunities， using modern sound， light and
digital stage effects， China’s traditional Peking Opera， also known as
jingju， is appealing to young people in a fashionable and innovative
way， as the classic art faces an aging audience.
The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing has introduced
fashionable performances of Peking Opera. The opera combines
instrumental music， vocal performance， mime （哑剧表演）， dance
and acrobatics （杂技）.
Tianleyuan has a jingju art experience section and fashionable
performances. It has attracted more than 2，000 audience members，
mostly young people， according to theater staff.
“Good art should keep pace with the times， so does jingju，” said
Zhang Zishang， a 22-year-old performer of The Drunken Beauty， one of
the classic jingju plays performed in the theater. “I feel today’s
performance is very special，” Zhang added. She was born into a family
of jingju performers and has had 10 years of stage experience.
“Innovation is good， but we must also carry on the basic elements of
jingju，” another young performer Deng said.
According to Deng， innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to
deal with the problem of an aging audience. It has made successful
attempts to combine jingju with local opera forms such as ballet when
organizing performances abroad. “Innovation can help traditional arts go
further. We are happy to see many young faces， and some of them even
come twice to experience the ‘new’ art，” she added.

It was a warm evening in August 1995. Robert Blocker was driving to
Yale University after being appointed as the university’s Dean （院长）
of Music. He didn’t expect to see many people， but a couple of
students met him and showed him around.
“When I looked at the history of the university and how people are
devoted to the school’s art programs， I was honored by the chance to
work there. I could not wait for the next day to start my job. And that
excitement never changed because every day was different. My job as
dean was not scheduled. I walked around the campus and students talked
to me. I went to rehearsals （排演） by the students and teachers and got
inspired by them，” he adds.
After nearly three decades as the Dean of Music at Yale， he retired
from the position on 31 August. Also an expert pianist， he remains a
professor of piano at the music school， as well as professor of leadership
strategies at Yale School of Management. Among his countless
contributions as dean， Blocker developed long-term relationships with
fellow musicians in China. He once toured cities， including Shenzhen，
Shanghai and Hangzhou， giving lectures to the youngsters.
“China is a very special place for me. I am very happy to be back to
meet my friends and colleagues，” Blocker says， adding that he is
particularly excited about being with young students.
Yang Suxian， director of the Shenzhen Piano Music Festival，
says， “He has been very supportive and has participated in the Shenzhen
Piano Music Festival for years.”
Blocker’s vision of a more hopeful world is reflected in his belief
that music bridges the understanding between people.
“Music brings hope. People may speak different languages and have
different ideas but music speaks to each other’s heart， and that’s why
we keep this work going on and why the work never ends，” he says，
“Our job is to let music heal the world by allowing us to understand and
find a common place in our hearts.”

With some 50 million copies in print， Johanna Spyri’s Heidi is
probably the biggest Swiss bestseller of all time.So it’s not a surprise that
there have been many film adaptations.The latest one， directed by Alain
Gsponer， is a live-action， German-language feature that’s simply
titled Heidi as well.
Heidi’s impressive box-office numbers prove that the world was
ready for yet another version of this old-fashioned tale.The feature made
over $15.5 million in Germany and Switzerland alone.Even more
impressive are the numbers in Italy and France （not generally areas where
German-language children’s films stand any chance）.
Gsponer’s film follows the basic structure of the 1881 novel.5-year-
old Heidi is shipped off by her aunt， Dete， to her don’t-waste-any-
words grandfather， who lives alone in a small wooden house high up in
the Swiss Alps.He is not pleased to see his routine in the peaceful
mountain air messed up by a curious little girl who needs looking
after.The film doesn’t lay stress on the point， but even for those who
haven’t read the book， it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the lovely
little girl will soon manage to melt Granddad’s icy heart.
At age 8， Heidi is taken away to Frankfurt， where her aunt has
found her a rich family as a companion （伙伴） to a wheelchair-bound
child， Klara.As in the novel， the film plays Heidi’s initial fish-out-of-
the-water situation for comedy， since， as a country girl， she has no
idea about things as basic as clean clothes or table manners.Actually， in
the midsection， the girls’ strict governess （女家庭教师） gets some
of the biggest laughs.
This is also a plot necessity.Heidi will need to start to feel
homesick.She misses not only Grandpa but also her cute goat-herder
friend， Peter.She does get to see them again.
Throughout the movie， Gsponer keeps contrasting （对比）
different elements， including the seasons， the city and the country and
even characters， such as the dark-haired and earthy Heidi and the fair-
skinned and fair-haired city girl Klara.These natural contrasts help give a
sense of agreement to a plot.
