四、任务型阅读
阅读下面对话,根据对话内容回答问题。
Emma and Wang Tao are in the museum....
Emma: (Pointing) Wow! Look at those bronze(青铜) bells. They are like a huge music tower. What are they called
Wang Tao: They’re bianzhong. And the set next to it is bianqing, which is made of jade(玉) or stone. They’re both ancient Chinese musical instruments.
Emma: I bet they don’t sound the same. The bronze ones must make a loud and powerful sound, while bianqing sounds softer and clearer, like tapping a glass.
Wang Tao: You’re right. The video here shows how musicians play them together. Their sounds mix well, creating a sense of harmony(和谐) ---that’s what we need for our school concert!
Emma: Let’s try the virtual(虚拟的) sound game! Listen! The bronze bells go “BOOM” and bianqing rings “DING” . Perfect for our school concert piece ! If we could play the real ones.....
Wang Tao : (Smiling) You wish! They are huge and few of us know how to play them. Back then, only the upper class(上层阶级) were allowed to use them. The Bianzhong of Marquis Yi of Zeng (曾侯乙编钟) is a fine example. It was the symbol of power and status(地位) and it played an important role in the ceremonies and big events.
Emma: It’s amazing how these ancient bells still hold so much history!
Wang Tao: (Nodding) Of course! They showed the values of ancient Chinese culture, like harmony, order, and respect for tradition. Even today, they”speak” to us about how ancient Chinese viewed the world.
Emma: Maybe we can______________.
Wang Tao: Great! We’ll be the first to bring over 2,000---year--old music to the school stage.
