Passage 1
参考答案:The style of Beijing Opera is an exaggerated form of singing, recitation, movements and makeup. For many traditional performances, no settings are needed besides a few simple props. The scenes are reflected by performers’ singing, acting, miming and dances. Because of this performing style, the themes of Beijing Opera are varied, including not only history, legends and fairy tales, but also famous ancient battles, as recounted in "Farewell to His Concubine".
In this drama, scenes of thousands upon thousands of horses and soldiers, and the atmosphere of clashes upon water and land are all vividly reflected. Besides dancing and the martial arts, music plays an important role in setting the tone of a performance. In the powerful and hurried music, the audience see the torrential waters of the Yangtze River, the numerous battle junks and flags and the flames and smoke of combat.
解析:[听力原文]
京剧的风格是对说唱、吟诵、乐曲及化妆加以夸张表现。对于许多传统表演,只需布置几样简单的道具就可以了,而场景则通过演员的唱、念、做、打来表现。基于这种表演形式,京剧的主题变化多样,不仅包括神话传说,还有著名的古代战役,如《霸王别姬》等。
在这个剧目中,千军万马、惊涛拍岸之势都逼真地表现了出来。除了舞蹈和武打动作,音乐在表演风格的定位中也起着举足轻重的作用。在雄浑而急促的音乐中,观众可仿佛看到奔流的长江,连绵的舰船,摇曳的旌旗,滚滚的硝烟。
