9 . 阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

As a traditional art show, it has left a profound influence     2     other forms of Chinese operas. In 2001, the USNECO     3    (admit) it as one of the masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

The Shanghai Kunqu Opera Group will launch a new production of Peony Pavilion《牡丹亭》 next spring.

10 . I’ve never been one for Disney movies and other animated movies aimed at kids that are often in theaters now. So deciding to watch Spirited Away, I was feeling pretty unenthusiastic but its glowing reviews and Studio Ghibli’s reputation pushed me to still watch it.

Spirited Away is about a 10 year old girl named Chihiro. While on the way to her new home her parents decide to take a detour and go down an old road. After passing through a tunnel they end up in what seems to be an abandoned town. In the town, her parents find an open food stall and eat the food, saying they can pay the shop owner once they get there. But they turn into pigs! Guided by Haku, who she meets while looking around, she sets off to try and save her parents and return to her own world.

Although it is a children’s film, I found the story to be surprisingly mature and enjoyable. Near the beginning of the story, Chihiro was a bit of a spoiled kid, but she progresses a lot as a character as she meets and interacts with the residents of the spirit world. The movie does a lot to create a sense of mystery and often uses soft worldbuilding. The animation is wonderful. It all flows very well and allows for breathtaking scenes that really bring the world to life alongside your imagination. The film has its fair share of twists and turns and was very enjoyable, while I feel that we could benefit greatly from multiple rewatches, which I’d gladly do, in order to get the full experience.

This is a movie I would definitely recommend to all ages. A small note, it does show blood in a few scenes, so if you’re a parent whether or not that’s okay for your child would be up to you. All in all, I feel that despite not being a part of the intended audience, this is an excellent movie that deserves a watch no matter what type of person you are.
