The sad melody of the violin concerto for The Butterfly Lovers (Liang Zhu) has moved audiences at home and abroad for more than a half century. The nearly30-minute masterpiece, written in 1958 by composers Chen Gang and He Zhanhao, is based on a tragic romance between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai around 1,600years ago.
The story is set during the Eastern Jin Dynasty.According to the most popular version of the legend, Zhu Yingtai, the only daughter of the Zhu family in Shangyu County, Zhejiang Province, loved reading and longed to go to school. As women were not allowed to pursue academic studies, Zhu disguised herself as a man and traveled to Shaoxing to study. There, Zhu met LiangShanbo from Ningbo, and the two became close friends.Over the next three years, they lived, studied and traveled together, but Liang never realized that Zhu was actually a girl.
This happy time, however, came to an end as Zhu’ s father missed her and urged her to return home. Before parting, Liang promised to visit Zhu's family in Shangyu after finishing his studies. Lacking travel funds, however,he had to delay his journey. When he finally arrived, Zhu greeted him in a female costume. Liang, now realizing her true identity, longed to propose marriage—— but it was too late. Zhu's family had already arranged her marriage to a man she had never met.
Liang Shanbo suffered from depression and despair,and eventually died. A year later, on the way to her wedding ceremony, Zhu stopped at Liang's tomb to mourn the only man she had ever loved. Suddenly, the tomb cracked open and Zhu jumped in. Moments later, a pair of colorful butterflies emerged from the tomb and flew away together.
Having been adapted into a variety of operas, song and dance performances, TV series and films, the time-honored (久负盛名的) story continues to hold a place in the nation's heart, as it expresses the hope for a free marriage for the ancient Chinese and praises women's bravery in the pursuit of love.

A. To suggest Liang and Zhu’ s love story is romantic but tragic.
B. To reveal that the melody has been popular since written.

D. To introduce the great composers of this famous melody.
2 What does the underlined word“disguised” mean in Paragraph Two?
A. Went against the main stream views. B. Was fully devoted to a friendship.
C. Made up to make unrecognizable. D. Acted as someone else in behavior.
3 What was responsible for the tragic result of Liang and Zhu’ s romance?

参考答案:
本文讲述了梁山伯与祝英台之间的悲剧爱情故事,表达了中国古代人们对自由婚姻的渴望,赞扬了女性追求爱情的勇气。
1. A 写作目的题。根据第一段第二句… is based on a tragic romance between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai around 1,600 years ago 可知,《梁祝》小提琴协奏曲取材于大约1600年前梁山伯和祝英台之间的悲剧爱情故事,再结合下文对这个爱情故事的介绍可推出,本文在第一段提及《梁祝》的旋律是在暗示梁山伯和祝英台之间的爱情既是一个浪漫故事,也是一个悲剧故事。
2. C 词义猜测题。根据第二段第三句中的 As women were not allowed to pursue academic studies可知, 当时的女孩子没有接受学业教育的权利,所以祝英台是通过化妆、乔装等方式让自己看起来像个男子,不被认出。因此 disguise 在文中的意思是“乔装;假扮”,与C项同义。
3. C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句 Zhu’ s family had already arranged her marriage to a man she had never met.可知,“父母之命,媒妁之言”,是当时社会制度下的产物,年轻人没有自己选择婚姻的自由,这是悲剧的根源。
4. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 Having been adapted into a variety of operas, song and dance performances, TV series and films, the time-honored story continues to hold a place in the nation's heart. 可知,这个久负盛名的故事被改编成各种各样的戏曲、歌舞表演、电视剧和电影,它仍旧在国民心中占据一席之地。因为故事表达了古代人对自由婚姻的渴望,并赞美女性在追求爱情时的勇敢。由此可推出,国民的持续喜爱是故事经久不衰的根本原因。

半个多世纪以来,小提琴协奏曲《梁祝》那忧伤的旋律一直感动着国内外的听众。这部时长近30分钟的杰作由作曲家陈钢和何占豪在1958年创作而成,它取材于大约1600年前梁山伯与祝英台的凄美爱情故事。
这个故事发生在东晋时期。根据这个传说最为人熟知的版本,祝英台是浙江上虞祝家的独生女,她喜爱读书,渴望上学。由于当时女子不被允许接受学业教育,祝英台便女扮男装前往绍兴求学。在那里,祝英台遇到了来自宁波的梁山伯,两人成为亲密的朋友。在接下来的三年时间里,他们一同生活、学习、游历四方,然而梁山伯却一直都没有意识到祝英台实际上是个女子。
然而,这段快乐的时光随着祝英台的父亲思念女儿并催促她回家而告终。在分别前,梁山伯答应完成学业后去上虞拜访祝英台的家人。然而,由于缺乏路费,他不得不推迟行程。当他最终抵达时,祝英台穿着女装来迎接他。梁山伯这时才意识到她的真实身份,渴望向她求婚 ——但为时已晚。祝家已经为她安排了一门婚事,对象是一个她从未见过的男子。
梁山伯陷入了沮丧和绝望之中,最终离开了人世。一年后,在前往婚礼的途中,祝英台在梁山伯的墓前停留,悼念着她此生唯一深爱的男子。突然,坟墓裂开了,祝英台纵身跳入其中。片刻之后,一对色彩斑斓的蝴蝶从坟墓中飞出,相伴着飞走了。
这个久负盛名的故事被改编成了各种各样的戏曲、歌舞表演、电视剧和电影,至今在国人心中占据着一席之地,因为它表达了古代中国人对自由婚姻的向往,并且赞颂了女性在追求爱情时的勇气。

《白蛇传》,也被称作《许仙与白娘子》,是中国最著名的民间传说之一。它被改编成无数个版本,并以中国戏曲、电影、电视剧以及其他媒体形式呈现出来。这个故事最初可能在宋代成型,是街头说书人所讲述的一个民间故事。到了元代,它就已经成为传统戏曲和舞台剧的常见题材了。
《白蛇传》是中国历史上最著名的民间传说之一。传说中,一条渴望体验人间生活的白蛇来到了人间,并嫁给了一位名叫许仙的书生。然而,他们的婚姻遭到了金山寺和尚法海的反对,法海坚称人与妖共存是不被允许的。随后,他将白娘子镇压在了西湖边的雷峰塔下。许多年后,白娘子之子高中状元,在雷峰塔前祭拜母亲。上天被他的举动所感动,致使雷峰塔轰然倒塌,白娘子得以出塔,一家人终于得以团聚。这个传说的前半部分是一个爱情故事,而后半部分则体现了抗争与坚持的主题。
这个传说发生在杭州西湖。据说,白娘子是在如今西湖白堤上的“断桥”遇见了许仙。直到现在,游客们在观赏这一景点时,或许仍会想起这个故事。更重要的是,这一传说中保存了大量古老的传统习俗,使其成为中国蕴含民俗最为丰富的口头遗产之一。
《白蛇传》起源于唐朝和五代时期,在明清两代得以传承,并且至今仍被广泛传播。它已经流传到了许多国家,包括日本、越南和印度。

参考答案:
本文介绍了《西游记》的主要角色孙悟空对国际动漫文化和影视的影响。
1. the考查冠词。这里表示“孙悟空是中国四大古典小说之一《西游记》中的主要角色”。 chief character 是特指《西游记》中的主要角色,故用定冠词 the。
2. but 考查连词。 clever(聪明的) 和 conceited(自负的)之间是转折关系,孙悟空虽然聪明,但很自负,故用 but连接。
3. peacefully 考查副词。 live为动词,需要用副词修饰。peaceful的副词形式是 peacefully, 表示“平静地”。
4. including/ like 考查介词。根据 Dragon Ball's SonGoku, One Piece's Monkey D. Luffy, Lupin Ⅲ可知,这些都是与孙悟空有关的动漫人物,故此处是在举例说明日本受孙悟空启发的漫画和动画主角。故填including 或者 like。
5. surrounding 考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语动词是 canbe found, surround处于非谓语的位置, the folktales与 surround之间是主动关系, 因此 surround用现在分词形式。 surrounding him 是现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰 folktales,表示“围绕着他的民间故事”。
6. earliest 考查形容词。根据后面的 more recent, 再结合定冠词 the可知,这里是将最早的超人漫画和近期的动画系列进行对比,故early用最高级形式。
7. adaptations 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,此处缺少主语, 故应用 adapt的名词形式 adaptation;再根据谓语 are 可知, 主语应用复数形式 adaptations。
8. trained 考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语动词为 make,train 处于非谓语的位置, storytellers 与 train 之间是被动关系, 因此 train 用过去分词形式。 trained in Western traditions是过去分词短语作后置定语, 修饰storytellers, 表示“接受过西方传统训练的”。
9. speaks 考查时态。句子主语 the character是第三人称单数,且句子描述的是一般事实,所以谓语动词用speaks。
10. who考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,这里是一个非限制性定语从句,对 Zhang Jinlai 进行补充说明。此处指人,且在从句中作主语,故用关系代词 who引导。
难句分析
Zhang Jinlai, who played the Monkey King in a popular1980s TV series, said that to truly understand him you have to first understand China.在一部20世纪80年代广受欢迎的电视剧中饰演过孙悟空的章金莱(六小龄童)曾说过,要想真正了解孙悟空,你首先得了解中国。
who 引导非限制性定语从句, 对 Zhang Jinlai 进行补充说明。 that引导宾语从句, 作 said 的宾语。 to truly understand him 为动词不定式短语, 作目的状语。
参考译文:
孙悟空,西方读者更为熟知的称呼是美猴王,或简称为猴子,是中国四大古典名著之一《西游记》中的主要角色,《西游记》由明代的吴承恩所著。
了解这个传奇人物的最佳方式,要么是阅读原著小说,要么是参考翻译家林语堂对这个著名角色的评价:“悟空很聪明,但也很自负;他有足够的法力闯入天庭,却没有在那里安稳生活所需的智慧、平和心态以及自我克制的精神。”
在日本,孙悟空为无数动漫的主角提供了创作灵感,比如《龙珠》里的孙悟空、《海贼王》里的蒙奇·D·路飞,甚至还有经典的鲁邦三世。这个角色以及围绕着他的民间故事的影子,在美国媒体中也能找到踪迹,从最早的超人漫画到较新的动画剧集《降世神通:最后的气宗》皆是如此。虽然美国对孙悟空的描述侧重于这个角色的战斗本领,但中国的改编作品则更多关注他的性格和精神内涵。
时至今日,孙悟空为何如此受人喜爱这一问题仍存在争议。他冲动的行为、乐观的态度以及强烈的自我价值感,使得对于那些接受过西方传统训练的故事讲述者而言,这个角色有着丰富的挖掘空间。但同时,这个角色也以对他们来说独特的方式,与东方观众产生着共鸣。在一部20世纪80年代广受欢迎的电视剧中饰演过孙悟空的章金莱(六小龄童)曾说过,要想真正理解孙悟空,你首先得了解中国。

The story is set during the Eastern Jin Dynasty.According to the most popular version of the legend, Zhu Yingtai, the only daughter of the Zhu family in Shangyu County, Zhejiang Province, loved reading and longed to go to school. As women were not allowed to pursue academic studies, Zhu disguised herself as a man and traveled to Shaoxing to study. There, Zhu met LiangShanbo from Ningbo, and the two became close friends.Over the next three years, they lived, studied and traveled together, but Liang never realized that Zhu was actually a girl.
This happy time, however, came to an end as Zhu’ s father missed her and urged her to return home. Before parting, Liang promised to visit Zhu's family in Shangyu after finishing his studies. Lacking travel funds, however,he had to delay his journey. When he finally arrived, Zhu greeted him in a female costume. Liang, now realizing her true identity, longed to propose marriage—— but it was too late. Zhu's family had already arranged her marriage to a man she had never met.
Liang Shanbo suffered from depression and despair,and eventually died. A year later, on the way to her wedding ceremony, Zhu stopped at Liang's tomb to mourn the only man she had ever loved.

The best way to get to know this legendary figure is either to read the original novel or the opinions of translator Lin Yutang of the famed character, “Monkey was clever, 2 conceited (自负); he had enough magic power to push his way into Heaven, but not the wisdom, balance,and temperance of spirit to live 3 (peaceful) there.”
In Japan, Monkey has served as the inspiration for countless manga and anime protagonists (漫画和动画的主角), 4 Dragon Ball’ s Son Goku, One Piece’ s Monkey D. Luffy and even the iconicLupin Ⅲ. Traces of the character and the folktales 5 (surround) him can be found in American media, from the 6 (early) Superman comics to the more recent animated series, The Last Airbender.While American depictions of Monkey focus on the character's combat prowess, Chinese 7 (adapt)are more concerned with his personality and spirituality.
Why the Monkey King is so beloved is still debated today. His impulsive behavior, optimistic attitude, and strong sense of self-worth make the character easy to mine for storytellers 8 (train) inWestern traditions. But the character also 9 (speak) to Eastern audiences in ways that are unique to them. * Zhang Jinlai(六小龄童), 10 played the Monkey King in a popular 1980s TV series, said that to truly understand him you have to first understand China.
