Question

9．In Shanghai's Grand Theater，a fashionable，mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage．He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves．Blowing on one of the leaves，he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song．Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China．
It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater．But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin，a Cantonese-born singer，who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music．
In 2009，after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador，Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups．In the course other four-month trip，she recorded more than a thousand songs．But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old，and some of the music was at risk of dying out．
"I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard-it was so good，"she says．"But it needed support．I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times．"
So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience．By doing this，she hopes to rekindle（点燃） the interest of the younger generation．"Young people don't like this music much； they prefer pop music and love songs．They think these songs are something their grandma sings．This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage．"
Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots．"China today is basically all Western art； in our conservatories （音乐学院） Western classical music is the top，"she says．"For China to really contribute to the world，we need to go on our own path．So what can represent China today？"The answer，she suggests，is to move from"made in China"to"created in China"．

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一．这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类．这两类阅读材料一般较长，即词数多，而且命题也较多，特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多．在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂，题目不好做的感觉．因此，在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上，注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系，细节与主题的关系，用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等，这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点．至于事实细节题的解答，同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象，一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．
