文化采风
《哈姆雷特》(Hamlet)是威廉·莎士比亚于1599年至1602年间创作的一部悲剧作品。戏剧讲述了叔叔克劳狄斯谋害了哈姆雷特的父亲,篡取了王位,并娶了国王的遗孀乔特鲁德。哈姆雷特王子因此为父王向叔叔复仇的故事。
《哈姆雷特》是莎士比亚所有戏剧中篇幅最长的一部,是世界著名悲剧之一,也是莎士比亚最负盛名的剧本,代表着整个西方文艺复兴时期文学的最高成就。该剧同《麦克白》《李尔王》和《奥赛罗》一起组成莎士比亚的“四大悲剧”。

When HAMLET meets PEKING OPERA[1]
1I thought I knew a lot about Hamlet.As a high school student with English literature as one of my main subjects,I have to![2]Shakespeare's Hamlet is probably the most important play by① the most important writer in English.Almost everybody knows “To be, or not to be”[3],right?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![4]
[1][标题赏析]本文以“When HAMLET meets PEKING OPERA”作为标题,以拟人的修辞手法巧妙体现了文章的主题——西方戏剧与京剧特色的对比。这增加了标题的趣味性,引起读者的兴趣。
[2]本句为简单句,其中with English literature...subjects为with复合结构,作后置定语,修饰名词 a high school student;I have to是I have to know a lot about Hamlet的省略形式。
[3]画线部分的全句“To be,or not to be:that is the question.”是《哈姆雷特》中丹麦王子的经典独白。王子面对父亲的猝然离世、母亲的改嫁及叔叔的篡位,内心充满矛盾、犹豫和痛苦,于是说出了这么一句话。该句意为“生存还是毁灭?那是个问题。”因为其简单易记,读起来朗朗上口,有诗的韵律和节奏,所以为民众所传诵。

[4]本句为主从复合句,其中Having seen...many times为动词-ing形式的完成式作原因状语,until引导时间状语从句。
2Dating back to④ the 18th century,Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history.[5]Does this mean it's easier than a Shakespeare play to understand?[6]To find out the answer,I just had to go and see The Revenge⑤ of Prince Zidan —the Peking Opera version⑥ of Hamlet.
[5]本句为简单句,Dating back to the 18th century 是动词-ing形式短语作状语,因为Peking Opera 与date back之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故date用动词-ing形式。
[6]本句是设问句,作者随后用“To find out the answer,I just had to go and see The Revenge of Prince Zidan —the Peking Opera version of Hamlet”引出下文,虽然后来作者并没有对上面的设问直接给出答案,但从作者对京剧独特的表现艺术风格的描述中,读者可以得出清晰的答案。
3Starting with an orchestra playing traditional Chinese instruments⑦[7],the opera brought a completely new sound to my Western ears.At first,I thought what I heard was a violin,but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings⑧ called jinghu.[8]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,exaggerated movements and mime helped get the meanings across⑨ to the audience.The voices themselves sounded really unique — some of the female⑩ 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 screen⑪ with Chinese characters⑫,a study⑬.Using such techniques,the opera had transformed a small stage into⑭ the whole universe⑮.[9]
[7]画线部分为动词-ing形式短语作状语,其中playing traditional Chinese instruments为动词-ing形式短语作后置定语,修饰名词 an orchestra。
[8]本句是由but连接的并列句。第一分句为省略了that的宾语从句,作动词thought的宾语,what I heard为 what 引导的主语从句。第二分句其中包含一个that引导的宾语从句,作动词learnt的宾语。
[9]Using such techniques 在此作方式状语,因为the opera与use之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用动词-ing形式。the opera had transformed a small stage into the whole universe则使用了夸张的修饰手法,清楚表明了作者对京剧的欣赏之情。

4Easily my favourite part of the show was how the characters moved on stage.I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip before![10]That was simply incredible⑯.It was so dazzling and energetic⑰ that I wasn't sure if the characters were performers or athletes![11]Everyone was clapping.
[10]由于作者是讲述自己看过的一部京剧,整篇文章为过去时,而此处指的是在此之前作者从没见过“哈姆雷特王子做后空翻”,故该句用了过去完成时。
[11]本句为主从复合句。其中that...athletes为结果状语从句。
5Before 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 seat⑱!Feeling the strong emotions⑲ of love,anger⑳,fear and grief in the performance[12],I could easily recognise the theme of Hamlet.So,if you want to see a show that combines㉑music,singing,drama,poetry㉒ and costume design with explosive㉓ effect[13],The Revenge of Prince Zidan ticks all the right boxes㉔!
[12]画线部分为动词-ing形式短语作原因状语。
[13]画线部分为if引导的条件状语从句,在该从句中,that...effect为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词a show。

当《哈姆雷特》遇见京剧
1我想我非常了解《哈姆雷特》这部戏剧。作为一个把英国文学作为主修科目之一的高中生,我必须如此!莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》可能是英国最有影响力的作家创作的一部最重要的戏剧。几乎每个人都知道“生存还是毁灭”这句话,对吧?我看过好几部《哈姆雷特》的影视作品,并且读过这部戏剧很多遍,我充满信心——直到京剧来到我们城镇!
2京剧可追溯到18世纪,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容易理解呢?要找到答案,我只需要去看一看《王子复仇记》——京剧版的《哈姆雷特》。
3以管弦乐队演奏中国传统乐器开始,这出戏给我这个西方人的耳朵带来了一种全新的感受。起初,我以为我听到的是小提琴,但后来我才知道它是一种有两条弦的乐器,叫京胡。随后,看到主要角色登台,我很惊讶!他们的服装和面具都令人惊叹。当然,演员是用中文演唱的,但音乐、夸张的动作和比划有助于观众理解其含义。声音本身听起来很独特——有些女性的声音很高,我确信她们的声音能震破玻璃!舞台非常简单,一条有装饰的鞭子代表一匹马,一张有汉字的屏风代表一间书房。运用这些技巧,京剧把一个小舞台变成了整个宇宙。
4无疑这台演出中我最喜欢的部分是角色在舞台上的移动方式。我之前从来没有见过哈姆雷特王子做后空翻!那简直难以置信。它是如此令人眼花缭乱且充满活力,以至于我不确定这些角色是演员还是运动员!所有的人都在鼓掌。
5在观看《王子复仇记》之前,我不确定我是否会喜欢它。但事实上,我非常激动!我能从表演中感受到爱、愤怒、恐惧和悲伤的强烈情感,很容易就体会出了该剧和《哈姆雷特》一样的主题。所以,如果你想看一场集音乐、歌唱、戏剧、诗歌和服装设计于一体的具有爆炸性效果的演出,《王子复仇记》会让你如愿以偿!

Do you like Chinese traditional painting and dance? They are two important parts of the traditional Chinese art. But what about when they meet each other?
In 2022, a dance drama titled Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting(《只此青绿》) was staged on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and became popular.
According to CCTV, this poetic dance program was inspired by the 900-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains(《千里江山图》). Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is amazing in its sweeping size, rich coloration and the expressive details, reported CCTV. It shows a Chinese blue-green landscape: “mountains and groupings of infinite (无限的) rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling (涟漪的) water”.
When the dancers moved elegantly, audiences seemed to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers. “It brings me a pure experience of beauty. It is not only a drama but also an exhibition. Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!” Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review. “More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still impress people as they did long ago.” Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later. In fact, in recent years, more and more modern shows feature Chinese traditional culture and have received warm welcome. As for the reason, it is due to people's great love for traditional culture.
“The younger generations have grown up with a more open mind. They accept Chinese culture and are proud of it.” Yao Wei, director of Henan TV Station's Innovation Center, told China Daily.

(2024·湖南衡阳期末)
It's been three decades since The Color Purple (1985) brought Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to life. The 1985 film earned 11 Academy Award nominations with its heart-wrenching yet inspiring story of a young Black woman getting through the hardships of rural Georgia in the early 1900s. The Color Purple 2023 film is a musical adaptation with a different vibe, though according to award-winning filmmaker Dawn Porter, it's still “a timeless story of love, friendship and power.”
Oprah Winfrey—the film's producer—has encouraged viewers to wear purple when seeing the movie, referring to its holiday release as a “purple Christmas.” In a video posted to her Instagram account in May, she said, “OK, you all have seen the trailer, and I'm giving you six months to get your outfit together for opening day. All things purple. What you gonna wear? Color purple.” And she's led the way to promote the movie at press events, award shows, talk shows and early screenings.
But beyond pure marketing, purple holds a greater meaning here. According to cultural critics, it's a symbol of power, ambition and luxury, as well as creativity, independence and peace—things the movie's main character, Celie, does not have due to years of domestic violence. Thus, it's very much a cultural moment when people wear purple in solidarity(团结一致) to support the movie and embrace this theme of empowerment, just like wearing pink to see Barbie (and black to see Oppenheimer, for that matter).
Thirty-three years later, The Color Purple continues to attract audiences, especially Black women. It's these themes of sisterhood, spirituality and self-discovery that make the book and its adaptations so timeless. “Shakespeare can be performed so many times and in so many forms,” Porter says. “This is a classic text that has the same power.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新版《紫色》这部电影的特点以及受欢迎的原因。
5.What is the difference between the old and new film versions of The Color Purple?
A.The old attracts more audience.
B.Only the old is a timeless story.
C.The new is adapted freely with a vibe.
D.A different art style is brought into the new.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段“The Color Purple 2023 film... friendship and power.”可知,《紫色》的新旧电影版本的不同在于一种不同的艺术风格被带入新版本中。故选D项。
6.Which of the statements below is wrong?
A.The film's first screening is on Christmas day.
B.The film tells a story of a woman without suffering.
C.Oprah Winfrey urges people to wear purple.
D.Oprah Winfrey tries every means to advertise her film.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“According to cultural critics... years of domestic violence.”可知,B选项“这部电影讲述了一个没有痛苦的女人的故事”错误。故选B项。
7.Why do people wear purple to theaters?
A.Because people respond to Oprah Winfrey's post to wear purple.
B.Because people back up the film and accept its theme.
C.Because people get misled by the marketing campaign.
D.Because people always wear different colors to watch films.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“Thus, it's very much a cultural... for that matter).”可知,人们穿紫色衣服去剧院是因为人们支持这部电影并接受它的主题。故选B项。
8.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To explain the permanence of The Color Purple.
B.To stress the achievement of The Color Purple.
C.To show the themes related to The Color Purple.
D.To appeal to people to read The Color Purple.

Many years ago, I went to watch a dance show with my five-year-old son Tim. The dance was presented by the San Francisco Ballet company. __1__ Throughout it, he had his eyes fixed on the dancers. And later, he expressed an interest in learning to dance.
__2__ His classmate who lived next door laughed, “Come on, Tim! There are no boys in my dance classes!” Moreover, some of our family members and his friends had the same attitude. They often discouraged him. “Look, Tim! In our town, no boys wear dance shoes,” they reminded him.
I gave in to other people's views and prevented his dream. Dance lessons were put on hold. I let him take baseball classes. __3__ After he gave up baseball, I asked him to try swimming lessons, the science camp, etc. But he never lost interest in learning to dance. As time went on, this interest even became stronger.
Finally, Tim got to have his dance lessons during high school. His goal was to try out for the school's dance group which was well-known nationwide. The competition to join it was fierce (激烈的). Tim tried to spare time to practice dancing in an organization that welcomed male dancers. At last, his hard work paid off. __4__
I was proud of my son's talent. And I regretted that I hadn't been open-minded and hadn't supported his interest and dream earlier. After graduation, he asked whether he could continue learning to dance in college. I agreed without hesitation (犹豫). Years later, Tim became a famous dancer. __5__ Just stick to your dream and make efforts to make it come true.
A.Therefore, he left the dance group with sadness.
B.Tim was so attracted by the dancers' performance.
C.Later, he even stood out in his school's dance group.
D.So it's okay to be different and never get discouraged.

F.Tim was determined and seldom accepted others' advice.
G.But there was no positive reaction from the people around him.
