(2019·南昌重点中学高三段考)Following Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize, the usually silent Chinese literary circle got warmed up again. A Shanghai writer named Jin Yucheng surprised nearly everyone by making his new novel full of the Shanghai dialect(方言).
Published in 2012, the 350，000?word Blossoms is a novel about the changes in Shanghai over 30 years, drawing clear images of the city through the stories of many common people．There is no main story like most novels, but every story in it could run independently. While Putonghua is the standard choice for Chinese literature today, Jin’s use of the Shanghai dialect appears both different and bold.
“I have seen too many novels that look similar to each other. Chinese literature is getting monotonous both in language and form. I want to be special with my own language, ” Jin told the Global Times.
In the novel, Jin makes a breakthrough by mainly using dialogues to unfold various plots and represent typical characters on a daily basis. He also abandons the use of some punctuation like quotation marks(引号), showing a return to the traditional Chinese huaben(话本) genre.
Since its publication, the book has been widely recommended on Sina Weibo with many netizens rating the novel high for its unique use of the dialect and vivid description of life using plain speech.
Jin said that he got the idea of writing the novel while chatting in an online forum where people use the Shanghai dialect. The praise he received from the netizens encouraged him to continue writing the random stories.
“I’d like to see more writers to follow my lead．It will enrich our literature and make it diverse，” he said.

(2019·石家庄重点高中高三摸底)If you ever visit an English village, make sure to look out for morris dancing．Undoubtedly as one of the strangest of English culture, morris dancing is a form of folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century. If you ever get the opportunity，you really have to see it.
Men and women wearing old?fashioned, tattered(破烂的) clothing dance in the street of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Women wear long, frilly(有褶边的) skirts and men wear short trousers with bells attached to them. They dance to traditional folk music which is often played on traditional musical instruments.
Some groups carry heavy black sticks with which they bash against each other while they dance．Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air whilst they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when it’s over, the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The festivities will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again.
Morris dancing is a great English tradition but it’s facing a big crisis．As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups. The dancers are getting older and older and eventually, if nothing is done to change this trend, the tradition will die out within the next few decades.
If you’ve ever had the fortune to see morris dancing, you may understand why teenagers aren’t rushing to sign up. Putting it bluntly(直言地), it’s not exactly the coolest thing for an 18?year?old to be doing. Why dress up in bells and funny costumes when you could be going clubbing? Or playing sports? Or doing anything else?
However, it would be a great shame to lose such a fun and energetic part of England’s history and culture. It’s important to look after some traditions and customs especially when it’s something as harmless and happy as morris dancing. So here’s a toast to the next generation of would?be morris dancers! Let’s hope they don’t leave it behind.
