三、主題測評

Ⅰ. 閱讀理解

體裁：敘議文 篇幅：315詞 建議用時：7分鐘

來源：原創 新穎度：★★★★ 素養視角：中國戲劇——秦腔

World history has seen three ancient dramas: Greek tragedy and comedy, Indian Sanskrit drama, and Chinese opera. The first two have become historical and only Chinese opera has survived.

Chinese opera took shape in the 12th century. After developing for more than 800 years, its abundant local styles of opera are still enjoying great popularity, of which Qinqiang opera is one of the most ancient operas.

Qinqiang opera is a thousand-year-old local opera originating in China's inland northwestern region. It has established a unique tradition as an “opera shouted out” with its high-pitched arias（高音唱腔）. Li Mei has won a reputation as one of the four greatest Qinqiang actresses. She's also known for her passionate commitment to exploring the theatrical possibilities offered by Qinqiang opera.

Li Mei and her workmates are halfway through an afternoon rehearsal （排練） and most have broken into a sweat. Singing in a near whisper, the forty-year-old opera star performs the stylized movements for the leading role—the bitter dead Lady Li Huiniang in Ghost's Hate.

Little wonder that Li Mei is such a powerful presence on the stage. She's the greatest contributory actress who's able to interpret a character so persuasively and tell a story so convincingly that European audiences warmly hug this unfamiliar art form.

Li Mei said, “We performed this opera in the Netherlands to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of Holland's National Theatre. We enjoyed a fifteen-minute curtain call and the audiences applauded wildly for a long time. The local press entitled me the ‘Nemesis of the Orient’ and the ‘Chinese Cytherea’. Why is that so? Because they've fully understood what the opera implies—the loyalty towards love, and dead as she may be, her love persists. The reason why this opera was able to touch millions of hearts is that it has a beautiful story presented by a beautiful art form.”

A. It made history with ancient Greek operas.

B. It consists of various dynamic local operas.

C. It has a history shorter than Indian Sanskrit drama.

D. It originated from the most ancient local Qinqiang opera.

2. What is the greatest feature of Qinqiang opera according to the text?

A. The spirited high tone. B. The northwestern origin.

C. The stylized movements. D. The popular curtain call.

3. Why is Ghost's Hate starring Li Mei loved by foreigners?

A. Because its story is easy to be fully understood by foreigners.

B. Because its leading role Li Mei is famous as the “Chinese Cytherea”.

C. Because it conveys the popular messages of loyalty towards love.

D. Because it has a perfect combination of touching plot and attractive form.

4. What is Li Mei's greatest contribution to Qinqiang opera?

A. She won a reputation as one of the four greatest Qinqiang actresses.

B. She brought Li Huiniang, the bitter dead Lady in Ghost's Hate, to life.

C. She explored many theatrical possibilities offered by Qinqiang opera.

D. She spread one of traditional Chinese cultures to the other side of the world.
