5 . Chernobyl’s Strange Charm

1 The film festival is frozen for lockdown (隔离), so how are independent filmmakers to do their business? Cultures of Resistance Films has released this documentary, which deserves a lot of attention.

2 The film Stalking Chernobyl (切尔诺贝利) is exciting and sensitive exploration of how ordinary people are reclaiming (改造) the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident.

3 In 1970, near the Ukraine-Belarus border, ground was broken for the Chernobyl nuclear complex and the neighboring workers’ city of Pripyat. Chernobyl was constructed in a worrying rush, but Pripyat was appreciated by many who lived there. It was a comfortable, well-designed and familyfriendly city full of trees and roses. It had good public transport, a river to walk in, excellent day care and schools, and so on.

4 On 26 April 1986, Chernobyl’s No. 4 reactor (核反应堆) exploded. People escaped from Pripyat and a 30-kilometer-radius exclusion zone (禁区) was established while people fought — and died — to prevent a further disaster.

5 The zone is still in place, but it can be visited. I got to walk around inside of it four years ago, during the depths of winter. Guides showed us the main sites under snow, fed us in Chernobyl’s very large and empty canteen, and led us through Pripyat, already half-covered by surrounding forest. It was lonely and cold. There were wolves.

6 Since then, the number of visitors to the exclusion zone has doubled each year. That’s 40,000 people, now walking about the place aimlessly.

7 With them come problems and annoyances. Visitors build fires at night with local wood, not realizing how much radiation they are releasing. Tourists dressed up the sites to get better photos. The dolls you find littering an abandoned school are dropped there by tourists and so are half the books.

8 Stalking Chernobyl’s great strength is that it doesn’t rush to judgment. Isn’t leaving a doll here a little like living a wreath (花环)? Since when was it wrong to want to explore?

9 Old citizens in the zone complain about the cluelessness (无知) of visitors who go into the site secretly. Yet everyone — even the mayor of Pripyat whose job is to keep the zone secure — understands what brings them here.

10 Meeting communities of tourists and guides, we discover that the groups flow into each other. A tourist wants to become a guide, an ex-guide says she will return as a tourist. Several interviewees say the zone is a special place, one that will punish them in some way if they mistreat it.

11 The film doesn’t leave much room to get into the pros and cons (利弊) of nuclear power. To my mind, though, director Iara Lee has made something more valuable, and certainly more unusual. She has shown how ordinary people — police officers, base jumpers and festival organizers — are showing love and care, each in their own way, to one of the saddest places on the planet.

12 Stalking Chernobyl had me trusting much more than usual in the ability of people to make the best of their society’s most terrible mistakes.

1. Pripyat was once a city that ________.

A．was lonely and cold when forests were removed	B．travelers love to frequent for its friendliness
C．offered convenient public transport	D．was built in a very short time

2. From Para. 9 and Para. 10, we can infer that ________.

A．people would love to revisit the place	B．the visitors polluted the area on purpose
C．everyone understands the charm of Chernobyl	D．tourists believe the zone has some magic power

3. One outstanding feature of Stalking Chernobyl is that it ________.

A．talk about the pros and cons of the nuclear power

B．compares the past and the present of this tragic city

C．blames visitors’ irresponsibility for littering the place

D．gives viewers enough room to make their own judgment

4. The author’s purpose of writing this article is to ________.

A．remind people of the tragedy in Chernobyl

B．attract the readers’ attention to the new documentary

C．warn visitors of the potential risk of nuclear radiation

D．persuade local people to protect their living conditions

Teochew Opera fights for survival

BANGKOK－On a hot and humid night in northern Thailand, a group of performers in colorful costumes, accompanied by crashing gongs and drum beats, draw crowds to a makeshift stage. It’s a performance of the Teochew (潮汕) Opera Luo Shen staged by Qing Nang Yu Lou Chun, a professional troupe which has enjoyed over 80 years of history in Thailand.

Thanks to a vast number of Chinese immigrants who spread the Teochew dialect across Southeast Asia, Teochew Opera used to be a popular form of entertainment in Thailand. As one of the best-known Teochew Opera troupes in the Southeast Asian country, it was once invited to perform for the Thai royal family. But now, things are completely different.

The audiences of Teochew Opera are mostly older Thai Chinese. As time goes by, the community of both actors and fans dwindles. Sometimes the audiences have fewer members than the number of actors onstage.

Behind the scenes, actors huddle in a small, crowded backstage filled with their costumes and props, and spend nearly two hours applying layers of makeup before the show. Not far from the stage, a six-wheeled truck is loaded with all the belongings of the troupe. However, times are harder than usual for the group, which is currently facing the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic. “The average number of performances was 300 per year before the pandemic, but now it is less than 100,”says Wu Guide, vice-chairman of the Thai Teochew Opera Association and head of Qing Nang Yu Lou Chun.

The loss of actors is also putting the preservation of Teochew Opera in Thailand at risk. Zhuang Meilong, 81, the founder of the Thai-Chinese Dramatic Arts Institute, is struggling to stop the curtain from coming down forever on Teochew Opera in Thailand. “We are trying to translate operas into Thai to make them easier for the local audience, and also planning to establish an opera school in Bangkok,” Zhuang says.

Around midnight, when the lights go out on the stage, the old man takes off his costume and crawls into a tiny tent. In a couple of days, the company will roll into another village, and the curtain will rise again.

1. Why did Teochew Opera use to be a popular form of recreation in Thailand according to the passage? (2分)
2. What is Zhuang Meilong doing to help Teochew Opera survive in Thailand? (2分)
3. Please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why.(3分)
The only reason for putting the preservation of Teochew Opera in Thailand at risk is that the loss of actors.
4. Nowadays, many people are discussing whether the old traditional culture, like Teochew Opera, is worth inheriting (传承) or should be sifted out through ages. What’s your opinion and why? (40词左右)(5分)

Kun Qu Opera developed under the Ming dynasty (fourteenth to seventeenth centuries) in the city of Kunshan, situated in the region of Suzhou in southeast China. With its roots in popular theatre, the repertory of songs developed into a major theatrical form. Kun Qu is one of the oldest forms of Chinese opera still performed today.

Kunqu has gone through several stages of change over the past hundreds of years. It was composed of long and short lines at the beginning, with a singer singing solo and the orchestra coming in at the end of each line. During the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), it became more mild, and graceful, with performers attaching great importance to how clearly they recited and sang lines. The songs were written in seven-character or ten-character lines. This contrasts greatly from the opera’s emphasis during the Yuan Dynasty(1271—1368), when only percussions(打击乐器) were used in the chorus. In the style that developed during the Ming Dynasty, more musical instruments were used.

It is characterized by its dynamic structure and melody (kunqiang). It combines songs and recitals as well as acrobatics and symbolic gestures. The opera features a young male lead, a female lead, an old man and various comic roles, all dressed in traditional costumes. Kun Qu songs are accompanied by bamboo flute(长笛), small drum, wooden clappers gongs, all used to punctuate actions and emotions on stage. Renowned for the rhythmic patterns, Kun Qu opera has had a considerable influence on more recent forms of Chinese opera, such as the Sichuan or Beijing opera.

The opera has suffered a gradual decrease since the eighteenth century because of the high-level technical knowledge that it requires from both its performers and audience. Of the 400 arias regularly sung in opera performances in the mid-twentieth century, only a few dozen continue to be performed. The Kun Qu opera survived through the efforts of dedicated connoisseurs(行家) and various supporters who seek to attract the interest of a new generation of performers.

1. When and where did Kun Qu Opera develop?
2. What are the roles of Kun Qu Opera?
3. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.（请在下面的陈述中判断哪一部分是错误的，然后在下面划线并解释原因。）
Kun Qu has decreased gradually since the 18th century because of the development of technology.
