新语篇 对话（2025·常州期中）
Bianzhong: It's been a long time, Bianqing. We've stood the test of time and played our roles in shaping ancient Chinese music and culture.
Bianqing: Yes, indeed. It's amazing how your bronze（青铜） bells are made to produce such powerful sounds.
Bianzhong: Thank you. My bells are hung on a wooden frame and struck with a mallet(木槌) to make their special sounds. Each one is carefully made to hit a different sound. But you, Bianqing, have your own unusual qualities.
Bianqing: That's true. Though we share a similar structure, I'm made of jade（玉） or stone, which gives me a softer, clearer and more beautiful sound. In a way, we're tied together and shouldn't be separated. When we're playing, your strength balances my beauty, creating a sense of harmony. And unlike many other instruments, we're only kept and

enjoyed by the nobility(贵族).
Bianzhong: Exactly. We were symbols of power and status. Only the nobility and top officers were allowed to play, enjoy and learn to use us. The Bianzhong of Marquis Yi of Zeng(曾侯乙编钟) is a fine example. The skill of this treasure has caused people's imaginations since its discovery in 1978. We also played an important role in big state ceremonies or gatherings.
Bianqing: True. We helped create a serious atmosphere. Many believed our sounds helped people connect with their ancestors and heaven.
Bianzhong: Indeed. Our role in these events also presented the values that were central to the culture of the time, like harmony, order, and respect for tradition.
Bianqing: Our tales live on, Bianzhong. Our music is being rediscovered by people today. I'm confident we will continue to encourage future people.

Ⅲ. 1.B 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.C
A
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,通过编钟与编磬的拟人对话,介绍两者的材质、音色特点及在古代的地位,展现其对中国古代音乐文化的深远意义。
1. B 解析:词义猜测题。根据“your strength balances my beauty, creating a sense of harmony”可知,编钟的厚重与编磬的清脆相互平衡,营造出“和谐”的感觉,“harmony”意为“和谐”,与“peace”语义最贴近,故选 B。
2. D 解析:细节理解题。根据“We've stood the test of time”可知二者历史悠久,对应 ①;根据“we're only kept and enjoyed by the nobility”和“Only the nobility and top officers were allowed to play, enjoy and learn to use us.”可知二者仅为贵族与高官享用,对应 ④;根据“played our roles in shaping ancient Chinese music and culture”以及“showing the beauty and depth of ancient Chinese music”可知二者是中国古代音乐的象征,对应 ⑤;文中提到编钟声音洪亮,编磬声音柔和,并非都有 powerful sounds,且不面向所有人,故②③错误,因此选①④⑤。故选 D。
3. B 解析:推理判断题。文章以编钟和编磬的拟人对话展开,两者地位平等、相互欣赏,是像兄妹般的伙伴关系,故选 B。
4. A 解析:推理判断题。全文以编钟和编磬的对话形式展开,将两种古代乐器拟人化,用第一人称交流自身特点、历史和意义,所以作者使用了“拟人化表达观点”的写作手法,故选 A。
5. C 解析:主旨大意题。根据“played our roles in shaping ancient Chinese music and culture”“showing the beauty and depth of ancient Chinese music”可知,作者旨在说明编钟和编磬体现了中国古代文化的深度,故选 C。

解析
【分析】
解题时首先通读全文，明确本文以编钟和编磬的拟人对话为载体，介绍二者的特点、历史地位与文化意义，再结合不同题型的解题方法逐一突破：
1. 词义猜测题：定位划线词所在句的上下文，结合前文“编钟的力量感平衡编磬的美感”的描述，推断词汇含义，匹配语义相近的选项；
2. 细节理解题：逐一核对题干给出的5个特征，回到原文找对应依据，排除不符合二者共同特点的错误表述，筛选出正确组合；
3. 推理判断题：根据二者对话的平等姿态、互相认可的相处模式，推断最贴合的人物关系；
4. 写作手法题：观察全文的呈现形式，判断作者将无生命的乐器赋予人格、以对话表达观点的写作特点；
5. 主旨大意题：区分仅覆盖局部内容的片面选项，找到全文首尾呼应的核心主旨，选出作者最终想要传递的观点。
【解析】
1. 第1题：定位到划线词harmony的前文“your strength balances my beauty”，编钟的厚重有力和编磬的柔和清亮相互平衡，营造出和谐的氛围，选项中Power是力量，Peace有平和、和谐的含义，Happiness是幸福，Warmth是温暖，只有Peace和harmony（和谐）语义最贴近，因此选B。
2. 第2题：逐一核对5个特征：
① 根据第一段“We've stood the test of time”可知二者都历史悠久，表述正确；
② 原文提到编钟声音有力，编磬的声音是更柔和清亮，并非二者都有powerful sounds，表述错误；
③ 原文提到二者仅被贵族享用，并非受所有人欢迎，表述错误；
④ 根据对话内容“we're only kept and enjoyed by the nobility”“Only the nobility and top officers were allowed to play”可知二者都仅被贵族和高官享用，表述正确；
⑤ 根据“played our roles in shaping ancient Chinese music and culture”可知二者都是中国古代音乐的象征，表述正确。
因此正确组合是①④⑤，选D。
3. 第3题：全文将编钟和编磬拟人化，二者地位平等，互相欣赏，以平等的身份对话交流，最符合兄妹的伙伴关系，其他选项父子、师生、上下级的身份都不符合二者平等的设定，因此选B。
4. 第4题：作者把编钟和编磬这两种没有生命的古代乐器赋予人的身份，让二者以第一人称对话的形式表达自身的相关信息，属于将事物拟人化、以拟人化的方式表达观点的写作手法，对应选项A，其余采访人物、列数字、解释原因都不符合文本特征，因此选A。
5. 第5题：本文开篇点明二者共同塑造中国古代音乐文化，结尾也提到二者的声音展现中国古代音乐的美感与深度，核心主旨是说明编钟和编磬体现了中国古代文化的深厚底蕴，其余选项A无中生有，B、D都只是局部细节，并非作者最终要传递的核心观点，因此选C。
【答案】
1.B 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.C
【知识点】
阅读理解词义猜测，阅读理解细节查找，阅读理解主旨归纳
【点评】
本题属于结合中华传统文化元素的创新语篇阅读，将编钟、编磬两种传统乐器的知识融入拟人对话情境，既覆盖了初中英语阅读常考的词义猜测、细节理解、推理判断、主旨大意全题型，也渗透了文化自信的导向，解题时要注意避开以偏概全的干扰项，不要把局部信息错当成全文主旨。
【难度系数】
