teaching procedures:
step 1: lead-in
music plays an important role in our daily life. have you ever had the experience of listening to a piece of music and feeling that it is written just for you? music can be used to express many feelings, such as love, sorrow, friendship and peace. although people from different areas of the world have different styles of music, we can still understand each other’s music. without music, what would our lives be like?
how much do you know about music? now let’s try to say some words about music:
● music: classical music, pop music, folk music, swing music, blues, jazz, rock and roll, rap, opera…
● people related to music: musician, singer, composer, pianist, violinist…
● musical instruments: guitar, piano, violin, drum…
step 2: sharing information
1. work in groups of four and discuss the four pictures on page 17.
picture of a jazz band
what are the people doing in this picture? what do you know about jazz?
(jazz is a musical art form. at the end of the 19th century, jazz music was the most popular type of music. jazz was started in new orleans in the usa and most jazz musicians at that time were black. it has been called the first original art form to develop in the usa. early jazz musicians made money by playing in small bands. often, jazz musicians made up the music as they were playing. early jazz came from folk music and later developed into something else of its own.)
do you know any famous jazz musicians?
(louis armstrong, one of the most famous jazz musicians, was born in new orleans. he created wonderful jazz music with his trumpet. in addition to playing trumpet, he also sang and danced. he performed on broadway, in films and recorded music.)
what does jazz music sound like to you?
picture of chinese opera
what are the people doing in this picture? what is chinese opera?
(chinese opera is a traditional form of drama in china. it started in the tang dynasty when emperor xuanzong founded the ‘pear garden’. a chinese opera performance includes elements such as dance, song, dialogue, swordplay and acrobatics. the features of chinese opera which can distinguish a character’s age, gender and personality are the makeup, movements, props and the colour of costumes.)
what does chinese opera sound like?
(to some young people nowadays, the music accompanied by gongs, cymbals, drums and stringed instruments sounds a bit ‘shrill’ and ‘noisy’. however, the stories and the melodies are unique.)
do you know any famous chinese opera performers?
picture of a girl playing the violin
what is the girl doing in this picture? what do you know about the violin?
(the violin belongs to the string family of instruments. it is made of wood and uses steel strings. a violinist uses a bow pulled across the strings to create beautiful music.)
do you know any famous violinists?
(in the past, the great violinists played the violin as well as writing music for the instrument. after the 19th century, composers and violinists started to be two different roles. the most famous violin composers and players are corelli, vivaldi, locatelli and later paganini, sarasate, wieniawski, vieuxtemps, ysave, kreisler and enesco.
picture of a girl playing the piano
what is the girl doing in this picture? what do you know about the piano?
(the piano belongs to the percussion family of instruments. it consists of a keyboard attached to a wooden box, inside of which are metal strings. a piano is played by pressing the keys. each of the keys is attached to a hammer that strikes one of the strings inside the box.)
do you know any famous pianists?
(among the most famous pianists are beethoven from germany, franz liszt from hungary and frederick chopin from poland. beethoven is known for his sonatas, liszt for the hungarian rhapsody and chopin for revolution etude.)
2. work in pairs and have a discussion about the three questions below the pictures.
sample answers
1 my favourite kind of music is classical music. classical music uses orchestras and many instruments cooperating to create music together. i like listening to music played by orchestras. you can hear things played on instruments from all of the different families--woodwind, string, percussion and brass. also, classical music tends to be slower, so it makes me feel calm when i listen to it.
2 the musician i like very much is jay chou. many people may think that he is just a pop singer, but i consider him to be a pop musician. he sings about broken heart, urban stress and young dreams. he expresses his experiences, feeling and personality into his music, which attracts young people who have similar thoughts. that is why many teenagers in china like him so much.
3 yes. i watched chinese operas with my grandfather when i was young. a chinese opera performance includes elements like dance, dialogue, swordplay and acrobatics. the music instruments used for chinese opera include gongs, cymbals, drums and stringed instruments. a character’s age, gender and personality are shown through the makeup, movements, props and colour costumes. in comparison, western opera puts greater emphasis on music and design, conveying a story through singing and dancing. dialogue is expressed through songs. both chinese and western opera use music to express themes like love, betrayal and hope.
step 3: discussion
many of us believe that music can have a very great effect on us. this is especially true of classical music, which some people believe can make us calmer or even smarter. there is a theory, called the ‘mozart effect’, that playing classical music for a child can help his or her brain develop. as a result, a lot of parents play classical music for their children, some even beginning before the child is born, in the hope that their children will be smarter. what do you think of the ‘mozart effect’ theory? do you think it is true? why or why not?
do you think adults can become smarter or calmer by listening to classical music? why or why not?
step 4: homework
1. collect more information about music.

step6: pair work
talk about a western or a chinese opera that you are all familiar with. introduce the main characters, the setting and the plot.
chinese opera
the chinese opera is a traditional form of stage entertainment, weaving together elements of mime, dance, song, dialogue, swordplay, and acrobatics into one fluid continuous flow. gestures, movements and expressions incorporated within each performers script come together to bring forth an impressive performance. in contrast to western stage entertainment, which is subdivided into different categories such as opera, drama and sketches, chinese opera has remained faithful to its original format over the centuries.
by doing away with three-dimensional stage props and complicated backdrops found in western opera, chinese opera conveys the idea of time and space to the audience through the acting of performers. this simple and flexible technique is called “imagined time and space” in chinese operatic terminology. the acting, however, is not mere imitation of movements in daily life. instead, it has been perfected to bring out just their essentials, making them highly-stylize and rhythmic dancing movements. such acting is described in chinese stage language as “stylized formula”. in addition, chinese opera has specific costumes, facial make-ups, musical motifs and recitations to represent each character in the series of characters known as xingtous. all this, plus imagined time and space and stylized acting, has enabled the story to rise above real life and create a strong dramatic atmosphere with distinct operatic effects.
western ears do not readily appreciate this art, for chinese opera often seems shrilly and noisy. shrill voices pierce the air, accompanied by loud gongs, crashing cymbals, pounding drums and droning stringed instruments. the music is not intended to be melodic, as in the west, but rather used as punctuation to the performance. chinese opera is an art of the people-enjoyed and appreciated by all across the social spectrum. in a real sense it is a folk art, comparable in many ways with the chinese circus. although the music of chinese opera may seem very alien, the stories told are very familiar to those accustomed to western opera: heroes battle overwhelmingly powerful foes, good versus evil, and lovers seek escape from domineering and disapproving parents.
a distinct feature of chinese opera is the makeup, movements, props, and colorful costumes. these features identify a characters age, sex, and personality the moment he or she enters the story. face painting leans heavily on earlier forms of mask and make up. facial patterns rely on exaggeration and the symbolism of color to suggest a characters attributes and personality. the painted faces become what the chinese call ‘a mirror of the soul’. well-versed members of the audience will be able to tell instantly the personality of characters on the stage by their painted faces. although colors sometime represent a physical attribute of a character, they are predominantly used as indicators of a character’s personality. apart from the exquisitely embroidered traditional costumes, head-dresses are a requisite in chinese opera. the more elaborate the head-dress, the more significant the character. costumes are extravagant in style in order to achieve as great a theatrical effect as possible. like the face makeup, the color codes of these costumes identify the various ranks, status, and personality of the characters.
although sharing a common ancestry, chinese opera boasts over 300 various distinct forms-taking their names from their places of origin. these forms are generally discernible by their use of local dialects and distinct ‘melodies’. beijing opera is considered by most to be the most refined. also widespread are pingju opera, kunqu opera, shaoxing opera, henan opera, sichuan opera, shanxi opera, huangmei opera, huagu opera and yangko opera. some chinese ethnic minority groups have some local form of operas. many modern instrumental music pieces incorporate traditional instruments while adapting a more modern style. however, instrumental music is still very traditional. many works of traditional music are still played by small quartets and large orchestras. chinese melodies are quite unique and incorporate into many modern compositions. chinese instrumental music has changed because it is no longer restricted to the traditional format. even non-traditional instruments such as the piano are used in creating modern works.
western opera
opera is a form of theatre in which the drama is conveyed wholly or predominantly through music and singing. opera emerged in italy around the year 1600 and is generally associated with the western classical music tradition. opera uses many of the elements of spoken theatre such as scenery, costumes, and acting. generally, however, opera is distinguished from other dramatic forms by the importance of song and conventions of vocal technique. the singers are accompanied by a musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra. opera may also incorporate dance; this was especially true of french opera for much of its history.
comparable art forms from various other parts of the world, many of them ancient in origin, exist and are also sometimes called “opera” by analogy, usually prefaced with an adjective indicating the region (for example, chinese opera). these independent traditions are not derivative of western opera, but are rather distinct forms of musical theatre. opera is also not the only type of western musical theatre: in the ancient world, greek drama featured singing and instrumental accompaniment; and in modern times, other forms such as the musical have appeared.
the word opera means “works” in italian (from the plural of latin opus meaning “work” or “labour”) suggesting that it combines the arts of solo and choral singing, declamation, acting and dancing in a staged spectacle. dafne by jacopo peri was the earliest composition considered opera, as understood today. it was written around 1597, largely under the inspiration of an elite circle of literate florentine humanists who gathered as the “camerata”. significantly, dafne was an attempt to revive the classical greek drama, part of the wider revival of antiquity characteristic of the renaissance. the members of the camerata considered that the “chorus” parts of greek dramas were originally sung, and possibly even the entire text of all roles; opera was thus conceived as a way of “restoring” this situation. dafne is unfortunately lost. a later work by peri, euridice, dating from 1600, is the first opera score to have survived to the present day. the honour of being the first opera still to be regularly performed, however, goes to claudio monteverdi’s orfeo, composed for the court of mantua in 1607.

省略句是英语的一种习惯用法。按照语法的分析,句子应该具备的成分,有时出于修辞上的需要,在句中并不出现,这种句子叫做省略句(elliptical sentences),这种语法现象称为“省略”(ellipsis or leaving words out)。其特点是:虽然省去句子语法构造所需要的组成部分,但仍能表达其完整的意义。
省略形式多样,从单词、短语到分句,都可以省略,而且各有一定的衔接关系,不容臆断。“省略”不但是一种“以无为有”的最简便的表达方法,而且也是一种简便至极,“虽无胜有”的修辞手段。如果弄不清一句中哪些部分省略了,就可以产生误解或歧义。
省略在英语运用中,尤其是在交际对话中普遍存在,因为它可以避免重复,突出关键词语,能做到言简意赅,并使上下文紧密连接。在历年的高考题中也屡见不鲜。省略有词法上的省略,也有句法上的省略,有的学者把某些替代也看作一种省略。
一、词法上的省略
1. 名词所有格后修饰的名词在以下情况可以省略
1)如果名词所有格修饰的名词在前文已出现,则可以省略。如:
these are johns books and those are marys (books). 这些是约翰的书,那些是玛丽的书。
2)名词所有格后修饰的名词如果是指商店、住宅等地点时,这些名词也常常省略。如:
