Unit 1 Lights，camera，action！ (选自外研版必修第二册 Unit 4) When HAMLET meets PEKING OPERA I thought I knew a lot about Hamlet.As a high school student with English literature as one of my main subjects，I have to! Shakespeare’s Hamlet is probably the most important play by the most important writer in English.Almost everybody knows “To be，or not to be”，right? Having seen quite a few productions of Hamlet and read the play many times，I was full of confidence—until the Peking Opera came to town! Dating back to the 18th century，Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history.Does this mean it’s easier than a Shakespeare play to understand? To find out the answer，I just had to go and see The Revenge of Prince Zidan—the Peking Opera version of Hamlet. Starting with an orchestra playing traditional Chinese instruments，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 strings called jinghu.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 across to the audience.The voices themselves sounded really unique—some of the female 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 screen with Chinese characters，a study.Using such techniques，the opera had transformed a small stage into the whole universe. Easily my favourite part of the show was how the characters moved on stage.I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip before! That was simply incredible.It was so dazzling and energetic that I wasn’t sure if the characters were performers or athletes! Everyone was clapping. Before 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 seat！Feeling the strong emotions of love，anger，fear and grief in the performance，I could easily recognise the theme of Hamlet.So，if you want to see a show that combines music，singing，drama，poetry and costume design with explosive effect，The Revenge of Prince Zidan ticks all the right boxes! 1．Why is the author so confident about Hamlet?

D．The audience can see real horses on the stage in a Peking Opera play. 答案　B 本文是一篇观后感。作者通过描述自己观看京剧版《哈姆雷特》的经历，分享了对这一独特艺术形式的感受和理解。 1．literature n．文学；文学作品 2．production n．(电影、戏剧或广播节目的)上映，上演，播出，制作 3．revenge n．报复，报仇 4．instrument n．乐器 5．string n．(乐器的)弦 6．transform v．使改观，使变形，使转化 At first，I thought what I heard was a violin，but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings called jinghu. [结构分析] 此句是but连接的并列复合句。在第一个分句中，thought后是一个宾语从句，what在从句中引导主语从句。在第二个分句中that引导的是宾语从句；called jinghu是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰前面的名词an instrument。 [汉语翻译] 起初，我以为我听到的是小提琴的声音，不过后来我才了解到那是一种有两根弦的乐器，叫作京胡。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
