02 Period Ⅱ Grammar and usage & Integrated skills Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练 1 [湖南常德一中2024高一期末] Adaptation and innovation（创新）of traditional opera is the important trend of Chinese opera circles in recent years. In order to attract young audiences of new generation and catch up with the time, traditional opera circles make efforts to create new works. In recent years, traditional opera came across the change of time and society. It gradually lost the main elderly audiences and was not attractive to young audiences. In order to find new opportunities, using modern sound, light and digital stage effects, China’s traditional Peking Opera is appealing to young people in a fashionable and innovative way, as the classic art faces an ageing audience. The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theatre in Beijing has introduced fashionable performances of Peking Opera. The opera combines instrumental music, vocal performances, mime （哑剧表演）, dance and acrobatics （杂技）. 刷阅读理解 2 Tianleyuan has a jingju art experience section and fashionable performances. It has attracted more than 2,000 audience members, mostly young people, according to theatre 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 theatre.“I feel today’s performance is very special,” Zhang said. 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 ageing audience. She has made successful attempts to combine jingju with local opera forms such as ballet when organising 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. 刷阅读理解 3 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为吸引年轻观众，传统戏剧进行的一系列创新与改革。 1.Why is adaptation and innovation of traditional opera important?( ) B A.To run after fashion.
