最精彩的表演
陈炳熙
①梅兰芳正伏在垂着淡青窗帘的南窗底下画兰竹。他这时已
经完全把自己当做一位画家来要求了，他画画不是为了收益，
而是为了追求，说转移也未尝不可。一个艺术家，当被迫必
须放弃他的艺术活动时，就必须以另一种艺术活动来填补他
的空虚。
②当然，并没有谁不让他表演，恰恰相反，有人巴不得他表
演，是他自己谢绝了舞台，千里迢迢移家到香港来过这种淡
泊的生活。而且他早已蓄起了胡须，有什么比这更能表示他
断绝粉墨生涯的决心呢!
③他画画的另一个原因是，在他心中活着一些孤傲高洁的画
家形象，他需要以这些人做风范，坚定自甘淡泊、不慕荣利、清者自清、浊者自浊的做人准则。白石老人是先生的老师与
朋友，此刻又想到了他，笔下陡增豪气。这是一种神来之势，把几茎劲竹画得气韵不凡，仪态万方，似乎一阵风要把它刮
倒，它却摇了几摇，挺立如初。然而夫人推开镂花门走进来打断了他，她极轻慢地走到他的身边，把不速之客请求见
他的事说了出来。
④在香港中国饭店二楼一间精雅的餐室里，穿着浅色西装、
保持着学者风度的日本电影人川喜多长政与中国同行张善
琨，在整肃的餐桌前虚左恭候嘉宾。约定的时间到了，侍者
通报梅兰芳已在饭店门前下车。川喜多慌忙站起来，丢给张
善琨一个关照的眼色，便走出餐室门外，目不转睛地盯着楼
梯口。
⑤川喜多是目睹过梅先生风采的，他甚至感到先生便装时的
气度比在舞台上更有魅力。他看过先生演出的京剧作品，依
川喜多行家的眼光看，作为先生的代表名剧《太真外传》，
无论从清新优美的唱腔，妙曼典雅的舞蹈，光艳绝俗的扮相，响遏行云的歌喉诸方面衡量，都已把京剧表演艺术推向绚烂
的极致。至于他在台下，诸如“器宇轩昂”“风度翩翩”等
所有常用的形容仪表之美的词句，在表现他的风貌时都显得
冗弱无力，以至让人不得不求助于善于状人风仪的《世说新语》。
⑥楼梯下出现了一个老人的伛偻身影，正步履艰难地走上楼
来。这是梅兰芳，又哪儿像梅兰芳!川喜多暗暗吃惊，那弯
拱的腰背，僵硬的腿脚，黧黑的面目，蓬乱的髭须，板滞的
眼光，迟缓的行动，加上一开口就让人感到力竭声嘶的嗓音
﹣﹣这哪儿是千万人心中那位艺术之神的风姿!具有锐利观察力的川喜多惊讶之余，确有把握地认出这是先生。先生也
认出了川喜多长政﹣﹣从不计其数有一面之缘的形貌中辨
出了这个人。
⑦一方是极道殷切的仰慕，一方是感谢盛情的邀请。那些经精心挑选的中西名菜正一道道搬上桌来。川喜多小心翼翼
地问可否喝点酒，先生爽快地说：“嗓子到了这地步，还禁忌什么，再烈一点也可以!”川喜多诚恳地说：“我还有事向先生请教，烈性酒免了吧。”
⑧“其实先生是知道的。”川喜多说，“我从来不拍为日本军方宣传的片子，总得让中国朋友还有点欣赏的兴趣。我们选定了林则徐禁烟的故事，起用的是贵国观众中有巨大影响的明星。这表明，艺术终归是艺术，不该为政治的原因，让明珠沦落在藩溷里。所以我想，先生难道无意让久渴于先生艺术的贵国观众有一个再睹明珠的机会吗？”
⑨先生等他说完，故意露出惊奇的样子，然后大笑起来，接着一阵剧烈的咳嗽，又努力清了清嘶哑的嗓子，说：“实在感激先生美意。不过，您看我现在的样子﹣﹣生了几年病，把腰腿都断送了，别说登台，就是走路也不能像常人一样；更要命的是嗓子，怕发展下去连说话也成问题,,一个演戏的人，到了这种山穷水尽的地步，自己就惭愧得要死，若到了观众面前，那简直叫我无地自容了,,”说到这里，已变成怆然的感慨和沉沉的叹息。
⑩两天以后，川喜多长政飞回上海，向日军报道部报告说：“梅兰芳已经衰老不堪，几乎丧失了所有演出的条件，勉强把他搬上舞台，只能成为笑料，贻羞军部。”日本军部于是打消了强制梅先生演出的计划。
?两年之后，梅先生在上海大剧场庆祝抗战胜利纪念公演大会上演出，其灵活的身段，优美的舞姿，清越的歌
喉和光彩照人的形象，再次让兴奋若狂的观众绝倒。

2017年中考英语阅读理解和完形填空 最新热点预测12篇 阅读理解 Passage 1 Since last year, city streets around China have seen colorful shared bikes, which people can rent with a smart phone app and then park wherever they choose. To reduce traffic jams and air pollution, many cities have offered bike-sharing. But sometimes, dreams can turn sour. As shared bikes become more popular, problems keep showing up. According to news reports, shared bikes are badly treated by users. When people are using the bike, some of them just throw it onto streets and even into ditches(水沟). Some bikes are stolen. Recently, a man in Shanghai was fined (罚款)1,000 yuan for stealing a shared bike. Besides, the damage to the QR codes on the bikes has brought huge losses to bike-sharing companies, like Mobike. If the QR code is damaged, the bike cannot be used any more. It can take several hundred yuan for the company workers to find a lost bike and get it repaired. Mobike has 100 credit (信用) scores for each user. Penalty (惩罚)points will be taken in case of users? bad behaviors. Once the score drops to below 80, bike rental will go up to five yuan per 30 minutes. However, punishment may not be the best way to stop shared bikes from being stolen or damaged. Bike-sharing services will work well only if people follow the rules and show respect for the bikes and other users. 1. Why do many cities have offered bike-sharing? A.To provide convenience to travelers. B. To reduce traffic jams and air pollution. C. To make money for the company by renting. D. To encourage more people to excise by riding. 2. If Mr. Li credit scores is 80, he should pay for _____ his one hour?s riding shared Mobike. A. five Yuan B. eighty Yuan C. ten Yuan D. fifteen Yuan

2017年中考英语阅读理解三大理解方 法 一、依据主题句定短文的中心 任意一篇文章通常是围绕一个中心展开并且由段落组成的；段落之间有着内在的紧密联系，而表达段落主题的句子叫主题句，通常置于段落的开头，有时在段落末尾和中间；其它的句子是用来说明和阐述主题句的；若把一个个主题句加以整理，你能悟出其中心思想，同时还可以回避、排除个别生词、难句（等困难信号）所带来的干扰，但也有一些文章的中心思想常贯穿在全文中，因而要综观全文，对全文有一个透彻的理解才行。 如： My friend Matt and I arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation wasn"t wonderful, but we had everything we needed （beds, blankets, food ）， and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air. On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn"t know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area. We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves （岩洞） first. Climbing out was harder than going in, but after a good deal of pushing, we were out at last. Though we were covered with mud, we were pleased and excited by what we"d done. This passage mainly talks about ______________. A. the writer"s friends at the Activity Center B. the writer"s experience at the Activity Center C. outdoor sports at the Activity Center D. how to go rock-climbing and caving

环境保护 (2017·浙江衢州)D Heritage(遗产)is traditional customs, culture and beliefs(信仰). We use the world “heritage”in many different ways. People talk about their family heritage, their city’s heritage, and their country’s heritage. Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries, and we can show our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. Think about it. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike(相似的). In just about every country around the world, you can find MacDonald’s, Nike Shoes, Starbucks coffee, and American movies. Some people think this is a good change, and others don’t like it. You can decide whether or not you think it’s a good thing. However, everyone wants to protect their traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard. For example, when a new MacDonald’s opens in your town, a traditional restaurant might have to close. This is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple idea. It means keeping your country’s or your city’s heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest part of heritage protection is probably preserving(保护)old buildings. A few other examples of heritage protection are making sure your children speak your traditional language, and teaching your heritage to children. The world is changing very fast. This change brings a lot of good things. But as the world is changing, it is important to remember the heritage of our parents and our grandparents. 42. The examples in the second paragraph are used to__________.
