高中英语阅读写作素材之中国传统文化 中国艺术 皮影戏（素材+语法填空+书面表达） 第一部分 话题素材积累 Shadow puppetry, or shadow play, was very popular in many arts of China during the Tang (618 AD-907 AD) and Song (960 AD-1279 AD) Dynasties. Shadow puppets were first made of paper, later of the leather of donkeys or oxen. That's why their Chinese name is piying. 在唐朝（公元618年一公元907年）和宋朝（公元960年－公元1279年）时期，皮影戏在中国许多地方非常流行。皮影戏人偶最初是用纸制成的，后来用驴或牛皮革制成。这就是为什么他们的中文名字是皮影的原因。 The design of the figures follows traditional moral evaluation and aesthetics. Audience can tell a figure's character by seeing his mask. A red mask represents loyalty and a black mask, uprightness. 皮影戏人物的设计遵循了传统的伦理观和审美观。观众可以通过一个人物的脸谱看出他的性格。红色的脸谱代表忠诚，黑色的脸谱代表正直。 The figures all have a large head and a small body. A man has a square face, a broad forehead and a tall strong body while a woman has a thin face, a small mouth and slim body. 这些人物都有着大头和小小的身体。男人脸方，前额宽，身材高大强壮；女人脸瘦，嘴小，身材苗条。 The stage for the play is a white cloth on which the shadows of flat puppets are projected. Shadow puppets look similar to paper cuttings except that their joints are connected by thread so that they can be operated freely. 皮影戏的舞台是一块白布幕，上面投射着平面人偶的影子。皮影戏人偶外形与剪纸相似，不同之处在于它们的关节是用线连接起来的，以便可以自由操作。 To break the limit that only the profile of puppets can be seen, shadow puppetry uses exaggeration and heavy dramatization. The faces and the costumes of puppets are vivid and humorous. Different colors,the elegant sculpting and smooth lines make puppets not only props but also artworks. 为了突破只能看到人偶轮廓的限制，皮影戏使用了夸张和重戏剧化的手法。人偶的面孔和服装生动而滑稽有趣。五彩缤纷的颜色、精美的镂刻和流畅的线条使人偶不仅仅是道具，更是艺术品。 Words and Expressions ① puppetry n.木偶戏 ② puppet n.木偶 ③ donkey n.驴 ④ loyalty n.忠诚 ⑤ project vt.投射；投影 ⑥ joint n.关节 ⑦ profile n.面部的侧影；侧面轮廓 ⑧ exaggeration n.夸张 ⑨ dramatization n.戏剧化 ⑩ prop n.道具 ⑪皮影戏 shadow puppetry; shadow play ⑫民间艺术 folk art ⑬正面人物 positive characters 第二部分 话题语法填空 一、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Today I'd like to introduce a kind of traditional Chinese folk art, shadow puppetry,which 1_________
