Peking Opera,with its highly stylized conventions,appears at first glance to be an unlikely vehicle for Shakespeare.The art form relies on a sophisticated system of symbolic gestures,known as chengshi,to convey meaning.A flick of a sleeve can signify anger,a particular gait can indicate a character's social status or emotional state.The music,dominated by percussive instruments like the ban (clappers)and Juo (gongs),creates a rhythm that is both sharp and emotionally charged.In contrast,Westemn productions of Shakespeare often prioritize naturalistic dialogue and psychological realism. The production's director,Zhang Yimou,faced the challenge of making Hamlet's famous soliloquies, which are inherently introspective,work within a performance tradition that is extroverted and powerfully visual.His solution was brilliant.He did not simply translate the text into Chinese and have actors speak it in the traditional operatic style.Instead,he used the physical vocabulary of Peking Opera to extemnalize Hamlet's internal conflict.The prince's"To be or not to be"dilemma was not merely recited;it was enacted through a series of exaggerated,slow-motion movements,punctuated by sharp,percussive beats from the orchestra.The actor's face,painted with the traditional jingju pattems,shifted from deep contemplation to frantic despair,all without a single word of the original text being spoken.The core meaning-the agony of indecision-was communicated with astonishing clarity through mime and movement. This approach challenges the Westemn assumption that Shakespeare's language is his most important asset. By stripping away the text and focusing on the raw,physical expression of emotion,the production revealed a universal story that transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries.For a Western audience unfamiliar with Hamlet the plot might have been confusing,but the emotions-grief,anger,love,and revengewere immediately accessible."I didn't understand every plot point,"one German theater critic wrote,"but I understood every feeling.The prince's sorrow was my sorrow." The success of"The Revenge of Prince Zidan"illuminates the power of art to create a shared human experience.It demonstrates that the most profound stories are not locked within a specific language or culture,but are expressed through the fundamental language of the body and the heart.It is a testament to both the timelessness of Shakespeare's themes and the incredible,dazzling expressiveness of Peking Opera. ()1.What is the main challenge the director faced in adapting Hamletinto Peking Opera? A.Translating Shakespeare's complex language into Chinese. B.Finding actors with the necessary technical skills. C.Externalizing Hamlet's intemal psychological struggle through a physical art form. D.Making the production appealing to both Chinese and European audiences. ()2.The word "externalize"in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to: A.simplify B.discuss C.express outwardly D.remove ()3.According to the article,what is a key difference between Peking Opera and Western theatrical productions of Shakespeare? A.Peking Opera prioritizes dialogue while Western theatre emphasizes visual spectacle. B.Peking Opera uses symbolic gestures and music,while Western theatre focuses on naturalistic speech. C.Westemn productions are always more expensive to produce than Peking Opera D.Peking Opera is only popular in China,while Shakespeare is global. ()4.What surprised the German theater critic about the performance? A.The plot was too difficult to follow B.The actors spoke perfect English. C.He could understand the emotions even without knowing the plot. D.The music was too loud and distracting ()5.What is the author's main purpose in writing this article? A.To argue that Peking Opera is superior to Westemn theatre. B.To explain the technical details of Peking Opera's chengshi system. C.To show how a cross-cultural production can reveal universal human emotions. D.To criticize modem adaptations of classical works. Passage 2 In the digital age,the line between performer and audience has become increasingly blurred.Nowhere is this more evident than in the phenomenon of the "live streamed"concert or theatrical performance,where viewers can watch from their living rooms and interact in real time via a bullet chat"system-a stream of scrolling comments that flies across the screen.While this technology has democratized access to the performing arts,making them available to anyone with an internet connection,it has also fundamentally altered the nature of the"live"experience,raising profound questions about authenticity and connection. For the performer,the experience of playing to a camera rather than a sea of faces is profoundly different. The energy of a live audience-the rustle of programs,a held breath,a sudden burst of applause-is a critical,almost symbiotic part of the performance.It provides immediate feedback and fuels the performer's emotional joumey.In a live stream,this feedback loop is replaced by a flood of text.A comedian might see a joke land not as laughter,but as a cascade of"LOL"icons.A musician playing a beautiful,quiet passage might watch the screen fill with the equivalent of digital applause:a shower of flower emojis.This digital feedback is real,but it is mediated and asynchronous.It lacks the visceral, shared physicality of a room full of people responding in unison. The audience's experience is also transformed.Watching a performance on a screen,even a large one,is a fundamentally different act from being present in a theatre.The spectator is in control:they can pause, rewind,fast-forward,or check their phone.This control can reduce the immersive,captive quality of the theatrical event.However,it also offers new forms of agency.The bullet chat system allows viewers to become co-creators of the event,their comments forming a meta-narrative that runs alongside the main performance.This can create a powerful sense of community among geographically dispersed fans,who feel they are watching the show "together."This is especially potent for fan communities of popular culture,such as K-pop or anime,where shared viewing is a central social ritual. This transformation,however,comes at a cost.The theatre,at its core,is a place of shared,unrepeatable presence.The magic of a live performance lies in its ephemerality:a particular joke,a missed note,a moment of spontaneous emotion that can only happen that one time,in that one space,between those specific people.The digital recording,no matter how high-definition,is a copy of that event.It can be replayed endlessly,but it is no longer "live"in the existential sense.The tension,the risk,the preciousness of the fleeting moment is lost. Ultimately,the live-streamed performance is not a replacement for the live theatre,it is a new,distinct art form with its own grammar and its own rewards.It offers unprecedented access and a new kind of connection.But it reminds us that what we gain in reach and convenience,we may lose in depth and physical presence.The question for the future is not which is better,but how artists can learn to master the unique language of both stages-the physical and the digital-to create richer,more meaningful experiences for everyone. ()1.According to the passage,how does the performer's experience differ in a live-streamed performance compared to a traditional one? A.The performer receives more emotional support from the digital audience. B.The immediate,physical feedback loop of a live audience is replaced by delayed text-based reactions. C.The performer feels less pressure because there is no live audience. D.The performer cannot see any kind of audience reaction. ()2.What is one positive aspect of'bullet chat"for the audience,as mentioned in the text? A.It allows them to watch the performance for free. B.It helps them understand the plot better C.It creates a sense of community among viewers watching from different locations D.It prevents them from being distracted by their phones. ()3.What does the author mean by saying the digital recording is a"copy"and no longer 'live? A.The sound and video quality are always inferior to the original. B.The performance is no longer a unique,unrepeatable moment in time. C.The audience cannot interact with the recording. D.The recording is subject to copyright laws. ()4.What is the author's overall attitude towards live-streamed performances? A.Strongly critical,arguing they are destroying traditional theatre. B.Entirely positive,believing they are a perfect substitute for live events. C.Neutral and analytical,seeing them as a distinct new art form with unique features and limitations. D.Dismissive,suggesting they are a passing trend with no real value. ()5.The primary purpose of this passage is to: A.Teach readers how to use live-streaming technology. B.Persuade people to stop watching live-streamed shows. C.Analyze the differences between traditional and digital performance experiences. D.Encourage more musicians to perform live on the intemnet. 二、完形填空 In the history of cinema,few characters are as instantly recognizable as Charlie Chaplin's "The Tramp." With his small bowler hat,tight jacket,baggy trousers,and bamboo cane,the Tramp was a figure of both poverty and dignity,a character who could make audiences laugh uproariously one moment and feel deep sympathy the next.Chaplin's genius lay not just in his physical comedy,but in his understanding of the human condition,a theme explored brilliantly in his 1936 masterpiece,Modemn Times. The film is a satirical look at the dehumanizing effects of industrialization.The Tramp works on a factory assembly line,tightening bolts on a never-ending stream of parts.The job is repetitive and soul-crushing. He is(1) by his boss,who ties to speed up the line.He is(2) by a"feeding machine"designed to allow workers to eat without stopping their work.The physical humor is sharp and (3) Chaplin's character is a cog in a machine,and his body is forced into increasingly absurd and frantic movements. One of the film's most famous scenes is a perfect example of this.The Tramp is sent to test a new machine designed to feed workers their lunch.The machine is a complex,terrifying (4) _of gears and levers.As it begins to malfunction,it becomes a force of chaos,spinning corn into his mouth pounding his nose with a sponge,and (5) soup all over his face.It is hilarious and horrifying at the same time.Chaplin uses his incredible physical(6) to turn a terifying situation into a brilliant piece of comedy.The scene is a(7) citique of the idea that technology can solve all human problems. (8) his physical comedy,Chaplin also knew the power of silence.Modem Times was made long after"talkies"had become the nomm,but Chaplin chose to use very little dialogue.Instead,he relied on exaggerated gestures,expressive mime,and (9) musical score to tell the story.This choice makes the film feel timeless,its humor is not locked in a specific language or era.The Tramp's struggle is a universal one:the fight to maintain one's humanity in an increasingly mechanized and indifferent world. The film ends with the Tramp and his beloved"Gamin"walking down a long,empty road into the sunset. They have no money,no job,and no home.Yet they are smiling.This seemingly bleak ending is,in fact, a(10) one.It suggests that as long as you have love and a spirit of adventure,you can find joy even in the (11) of modern society.This is what makes Chaplin's art so (12) He makes us laugh at the absurdity of our own world,and he gives us hope that we can(13) its difficulties 1.A.praised B.ignored C.driven D.hired 2.A.fed B.attacked C.entertained D.confused 3.A.subtle B.exaggerated C.gentle D.weak 4.A.combination B.example C.sample D.collection 5.A.collecting B.drinking C.spilling D.saving 6.A.strength B.technique C.appearance D.beauty 7.A.supportive B.weak C.positive D.sharp 8.A.In addition to B.In spite of C.Instead of D.Because of 9.A.a silent B.an energetic C.a complex D.a confusing 10.A.sad B.hopeless C.realistic D.hopeful 11.A.center B.margins C.heights D.past 12.A.boring B.dated C.incredible D.simple 13.A.ignore B.escape C.create D.transform 三、阅读短文回答问题 Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences. The evolution of stage lighting has been a quiet but revolutionary force in the history of theatre.Before the 19th century,performances were lit by candles and oil lamps,which were dim,smoky,and dangerous.The introduction of gas lighting in the early 1800s was a huge step forward,allowing for brighter and more controllable light.But the true transformation came with the arrival of electricity.The electric light bulb,invented by Thomas Edison,offered a clean,bright,and safe source ofillumination that could be tumned on and off instantly. This new technology did more than just make the stage brighter.It gave directors and lighting designers a new,powerful artistic tool.They could now create mood"through light.A bright,white light could suggest a happy,realistic scene.A dark,shadowy stage with a single spotlight could create tension and focus the audience's attention on a single character.Coloured gels(thin sheets of coloured plastic)could be placed over the lights to create specific atmospheres.A blue wash could signify a moonlit night,while a red wash could suggest danger or passion. The ability to control light this way changed how stories were told.In the past,actors had to use exaggerated gestures and loud voices to project emotion to the back of the house.Now,a director could use a spotlight to create a feeling of isolation for a character,allowing the actor to act more subtly.A sudden blackout could signal the end of a scene or a character's death with shocking impact.The lighting design became an integral part of the narrative,a kind of visual score"that guided the audience's emotions Modemn theatre has taken this to an even higher level.With computer-controlled lighting systems, designers can create incredibly complex and dazzling effects.They can use moving lights that"dance" with the performers,and video projections that tumn the entire stage into a giant moving canvas.The lighting is no longer just a support system;it is often the main visual element of the show,creating entire worlds out of light and shadow.The role of the lighting designer has become as important as the set designer or costume designer,a true artist in their own right. 1.Why was the invention of the electric light bulb so revolutionary for theatre,compared to earlier lighting sources?(Use your own words) 2.According to the passage,what are two specific artistic effects a lighting designer can create using coloured gels and spotlights? 3.How did the ability to control light change the way actors could perform on stage? 4.What evidence does the author give to show that lighting design has become as important as other design elements in modern theatre? 5.What is the main idea of the last paragraph? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The school drama club put on a(1) production of"The Wizard of Oz'last week.All the students,who had been practicing for months,gave an (2) performance.The lead actor was particularly impressive,his(3) skill in singing and dancing was remarkable.He used(4) facial expressions to make his character come to life,and his(5) around the stage were both graceful and powerful.The story follows Dorothy,who is tying to(6) her ordinary world into something more exciting.A key(7) of the plot is the villain,the Wicked Witch,who is seeking(8) for her sister's death.The most dramatic moment came when Dorothy's house was swept away by a tomado.The actors used(9)to create the illusion of the storm,and the effect on the audience was (10).The audience was completely absorbed.They clapped and cheered,and the actors managed to (11) the story's message about the importance of home and fiendship.In the final scene,Dorothy clicks her heels together.The play was a huge success,and the students were rightfully proud of their achievement.The(12) costumes and set design also contributed to the show's magic. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 五、写作 假设你是高一新生李华，你所在的国际学校正在举办以“My Favorite Form of Stage Performance'”为题的征文活动。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.介绍你最喜欢的舞台表演形式（如：京剧、话剧、音乐剧、相声等)： 2.说明你喜欢它的理由（至少两点)： 3.你对这种表演形式的看法或期待。 要求： 1.词数100词左右： 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 My Favorite Form of Stage Performance My favorite form of stage performance is Peking Opera.It is not just a form of entertainment,but a dazzling window into Chinese culture.
