Mei was known for his female lead roles (dan), especially his acting of the young and middle-aged women (qingyi). Guo’s master Zhang Nanyun once studied under Mei. Unlike most opera school students, who will try to join a troupe (剧团) following graduation, Guo chooses to perform Peking Opera snippets (片段) on short video platform. “My master supports my decision. She is in her 80s, but she is very open-minded,” Guo said. “She believes the arts should never be rigid (死板的) in form, whether on stage or social media.” An online performance can encourage more people to get a ticket for the stage performance, Guo said. Going by lots of messages he receives on his account every day, many of his followers did go to the theater to watch a Peking Opera show — after watching his Douyin snippets. “When I’m preparing for a live-stream, I will create subtitles (字幕) and more ‘necessary’ explanations in advance to help audiences better understand the opera,” Guo added. 1.Guo Yuang performs Peking Opera snippets _.

At a concert in Tsinghua University, Fang Jinlong, a master of the traditional Chinese instrument pipa, and the robots from the Moja Robot Band performed several pieces of Chinese music. The robot musicians in the band, Yuheng, Yaoguang, and Kaiyang, played traditional Chinese instruments at the concert. The team that developed the band was built in 2018. Mi Haipeng is the chief (首席) scientist of the team. He took part in the research and development of a robot rock band when he studied in Japan. That experience gave him the dream of making a Chinese robot band. Mi said that the sound and playing style of traditional Chinese musical instruments are different from those in the West. Chinese people pay more attention to the feelings and expression of the players, but these are hard to control for robots. It also brings many posers to Moja robot development. During the concert, the robot musicians used their “fingers” and “mouths” to play the instruments. Many students said that was the first time they had seen humans and robots play together. And they never thought robots could play so well. Mi said the pieces of music in the concert were specially made for the robots to play. And there are more performance plans for Moja in the future, introducing new pieces of music. The team will improve the musical sense and emotional (情感的) expression of robots. 6.What can we know about the concert in Tsinghua University? A.It was held by Fang Jinlong.

A.a robot band B.a robot scientist C.a great musician D.a new kind of music Among all traditional Chinese operas, types of facial (面部的)makeup(化妆)in Peking Opera have developed into the most systematic(成体系的)one. Different colors are used to show different characters, but at first, only three colors were used: red, white, and black. Red is generally used to show that a role is honest, frank(坦率的) and loyal. In fact, at first red is just used to show the color of people’s skin. Because many roles use red and black to show they are very brave and honest, red gradually has another meaning. A typical “red full face” is Guan Yu, known for his loyalty to his emperor, Liu Bei. The role with the white face commonly seen on the stage is bad in human nature. Typical characters are Cao Cao, who was powerful but cruel in the time of the Three Kingdoms, and Qin Hui, who put the national hero Yue Fei to death. The black face shows either a rude and brave character or a fair and selfless personality. Typical characters of the former are Zhang Fei with a black angry butterfly face of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Li Kui of Water Margin, and a typical character of the latter is Bao Zheng, a fearless and fair official of the Song Dynasty. Later, other colors are gradually added to them, such as purple, symbolizing justice(公正); yellow used for soldiers, showing bravery; blue, showing a character has a strong personality and is very calculating(精明的). 11.The color of red is used to show _ at first. A.a person’s bravery B.a person’s age C.a person’s skin D.a person’s loyalty 12.Why does the role of Qin Hui have a white face? A.Because he was powerful in his time. B.Because he put the national hero to death. C.Because he was always cruel to others. D.Because he is a man who has no fear. 13.Typical characters of the black face in this passage are _.

Have you astonished by the amazing dance “The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting”(《只此青绿》)on the Chinese Spring Festival Gala. Along with its perfect performance, the background music which was played by the ancient instrument—Qin was also a highlight. One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven-string zither(弦), also known as the guqin, one of the four arts—along with go, calligraphy and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and represents China’s solo musical instrument tradition. At first, the guqin had only five strings, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in the Zhou dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou, added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang. Ambience was important in playing the Chinese zither. Usually, it was practiced in quiet setting and never for public performance. Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes(回音)from the mountains, until the musician found himself at one with nature. Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered ideal(理想的)for playing the guqin. Wang Wei(701—761), a highly talented man of the Tang dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most. Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Verse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements(《梅花三弄》), Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank(《平沙落雁》)and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute(《胡笳十八拍》). Now, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters. The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only a hundred works by today. The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)in 2003. 16.Today, the guqin has _ strings. A.four B.five C.six D.seven 17.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “Ambience” in paragraph3? A.演奏技巧 B.环境氛围 C.天气状况 D.弹奏曲目 18.According to the passage, playing the guqin _ is a right choice.

Three months passed, but still the practice was going on every day for hours. Wanting to know who was playing the music, I stepped towards the cabin where music came from one day. The music was _2_. Without disturbing, I stood there waiting for the person to come out. Nearly after ten minutes, I saw a middle-aged man coming out. _3_ I was trying to say something to him, he looked at me and said, “Do you want anything?” I felt a little awkward about his _4_ question. I said, “Yes! Your music is really amazing! How many years have you been practicing it? I think you’ve already _5_ it.” “Thanks for your _6_! I’ve been practicing it for thirty years, but why?” he questioned me at once. “I think, if you visit any big city and give _7_, you will be popular and make lots of money. All your music needs is the audience. Why don’t you try?” “Thanks for your advice. As a matter of fact, I’m happy with what I have! Money isn’t everything. Music can give me a sense of _8_. That’s the reason why I play it, nothing more.” With these words, the man walked away. It was really _9_ and it made me think a lot. In today’s fast-developed world where many people care for money, this man _10_ to do things for self-pleasure rather than the huge amount of money which he could have made! “Money isn’t everything.” I wished it’d be echoed everywhere! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. $$
