古典诗词借力流行文化焕发新生
古典诗词借力流行文化焕发新生

Have you ever imagined seeing ancient Chinese poets on your music app together with modern pop singers? Recently, this special phenomenon (现象) has caught wide attention online. On QQ Music, Su Shi has even won thousands of followers with his poetic works.

Many modern musicians create new songs by setting ancient poems to music. When their works are uploaded to music platforms, the original poets are automatically recorded as lyricists. Thanks to this, those ancient classics are well preserved (保存) online, forming a perfect combination of traditional literature and modern pop music.

In the past, young people regarded ancient poets as distant (久远的) and serious figures. They were only names memorized for exams, standing far away from daily life and pop culture. This built a gap between teenagers and traditional cultural heritage. However, today these classical poets have stepped into the digital world loved by young people. This may seem like just an interesting online trend, but it actually proves the everlasting vitality of Chinese classic literature. The timeless themes in poems, such as feelings for the moon, joy and sorrow of parting, and changes in life, can still touch people’s hearts after thousands of years.

Now modern music makes ancient poetry easy to understand and close to young people’s daily feelings. Young people no longer learn traditional culture in a stiff way. Besides music, classical poetry also influences Chinese films, with many movie titles and plots coming from poetic lines. The mix of ancient culture and modern media is breaking the old boring impression of tradition. Thousands of years of classic literature is gaining new life and winning great popularity among contemporary youth.

1.1.Why does the writer mention Su Shi?

A To introduce his great poems.

B To show a special online phenomenon.

C To attract more music fans.

D To praise modern singers.

解析:选B。B 推理判断题。作者开篇用 “Recently, this special phenomenon has caught wide attention online”(最近,这一特殊现象在网上引起了广泛关注)引出一种特殊现象,紧接着便以苏轼在QQ音乐上获得数千粉丝为例,其目的是具体说明这种“古代诗人进入现代音乐平台”的在线现象,而非深入介绍苏轼的诗歌成就、吸引粉丝或赞美歌手。故选 B。

2.2. What result does setting poems to music bring?

A Ancient classics are well kept online.

B Musicians create fewer original songs.

C Music platforms become more traditional.

D Poets begin to write song lyrics directly.

解析:选A。A 细节理解题。文章第二段明确说明,现代音乐人为古诗谱曲并上传后,古代诗人被自动记录为作词人,结果正是“那些古代经典在网上被很好地保存下来”,与A项“古代经典在网络中得到良好保存”意思一致。其他选项文中均未提及。故选A。

3.3. How did young people in the past think of ancient poets?

A Cool and attractive.

B Close and friendly.

C Distant and serious.

D Modern and popular.

解析:选C。C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“In the past, young people regarded ancient poets as distant and serious figures”可知,过去的年轻人认为古代诗人是遥远而严肃的,这与C项“Distant and serious”完全吻合。A、B、D项都与原文相反。故选C。

4.4. The underlined word “stiff” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A lively

B easy

C traditional

D unnatural

解析:选D。D 词义猜测题。画线词所在句提到年轻人不再以“stiff”的方式学习传统文化,而前文强调现代音乐让古诗变得易懂、贴近日常感受,可见“stiff”与这种自然、灵活的学习方式相反,意为“僵硬的、不自然的”。四个选项中,unnatural最符合此意。故选D。

5.5. What do we know about classic poetry today?

A It is hard to accept.

B It stays in school books.

C It develops in new ways.

D It disappears slowly.

解析:选C。C 推理判断题。文章后两段指出,古典诗词通过音乐和电影等现代媒介打破了刻板印象,赢得了年轻人的喜爱并获得新生命,这说明古典诗词正在以新的形式发展,而不是难以接受、只存在于课本或逐渐消失。因此C项“它以新的方式发展”正确。故选C。
