Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练

A
[江苏南京外国语学校2023高二月考] Plenty of films are somewhat difficult to understand, but a movie is in a language that only about 20 people in the world can speak fluently.
A feature film titled SGaawaay K’uuna, translated as Edge of the Knife, is in the Haida language, the ancestral tongue of the Haida people of British Columbia, Canada. It is unrelated to any other language, and actors had to learn it to understand their lines.
The film is playing an important role in preserving the language, its director Gwaai Edenshaw said. “You know that, if our language is this far gone, statistically it’s supposed to be over. But that’s not something that we’re willing to accept.”
刷阅读理解
18
The Haida are an indigenous (本地的) community whose traditional territory is Haida Gwaii. Edenshaw said most of the fluent Haida speakers were in his Haida Gwaii homeland. The community generally lives off the sea and makes dugout canoes and houses from local red cedars. Their numbers were ravaged by smallpox and other diseases in the 19th century. A former population of tens of thousands has declined to a few thousand today.
The few Haida speakers are extremely concerned about the language’s future and were very enthusiastic about the film. More than 70 local people worked on the production, with Haida speakers taking incidental roles, some creating the costumes and others making props.
The film, set on Haida Gwaii in the 19th century, is based on an old Haida myth about a man who survives an accident at sea, only to become so weakened that he is taken over by supernatural beings.
刷阅读理解
19
It is part of a wider push to preserve the Haida language, including a new dictionary and recordings of local voices.
Mark Turin, associate professor at the University of British Columbia, said that Haida is among languages that have been “pushed almost to the edge” and that, while numerous indigenous communities worldwide are trying to revive their language, the Haida people have taken an unusual approach. “This film has done something that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before, using a feature movie as a process of language revitalisation. It’s a hugely creative and powerful commitment for the community to have made,” he said.

[河北石家庄一中2024高二月考] Many older people around the world have at least one common concern: How to get younger people hooked on their electronic devices interested in classic literature? 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 romantic figure of bravery and adventure that fascinated millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.
Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the charm 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 channel for promoting Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and make-up for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics.
刷阅读理解
25
It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced was how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera couldn’t be changed.
Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remained, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the pre-recorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said.
刷阅读理解
26
On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology was also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes.
Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 1970s, but they gave way to more diverse 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. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression.

A.To introduce a new Peking Opera film.
B.To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.

How to Write a Movie Review
Whether it’s for pleasure or a job requirement, writing a good movie review can be a useful exercise. 1. . If you’ve recently watched a film and want to share your opinions about it, here are some tips to help you compose a wonderful movie review.
Follow your main text with a short plot summary. It’s good to give readers an idea of the movie you’re reviewing. Give a brief summary of the main characters, the setting and the central conflict of the movie. Never break the number one rule of movie reviews: Don’t give too much away. 2. .

Move into your analysis of the movie. Write several paragraphs discussing the interesting elements in the movie that support your points. Discuss the acting, the direction, the cinematography and the setting, keeping your writing clear and easy to understand. 3. .
