B 传统文化
Beijing Opera is a traditional form of Chinese culture. In Beijing Opera, each character has his/her face painted in a specific(特定的) way. By looking at the facial paintings, audience(观众) can tell who the good guy is and who the bad guy is.
Where did these facial paintings come from? An old story told us that it had something to do with Warrior Lanling. Warrior Lanling was one of the four most handsome men in ancient China. Some soldiers in his army thought that he was weak because of his good-looking face. Therefore, to make himself look more powerful, he wore a mask with an ugly face painted on it.
Another story about facial paintings was related to Li Longji, an emperor in the Tang Dynasty. He loved opera very much. One day, a Chou role fell ill right before a performance. The emperor decided to play this role himself. He covered his face with a piece of white square jade(玉) so that others wouldn't be able to recognize(认出) him. Since then, the Chou roles have continued to paint white squares on their faces.
As time goes by, facial paintings are used to show the personalities(个性) of different roles. It has become one of the special art forms of Beijing Opera.

【分析】
这是一篇介绍京剧脸谱起源的传统文化类阅读理解题，解题时优先根据题干中的关键词回原文定位对应内容：第4题提取关键词Warrior Lanling、wear a mask，直接定位到第二段相关语句找原因；第5题提取关键词facial paintings、different roles，定位到最后一段匹配对应信息；第6题是主旨大意题，需要梳理全文核心内容，排除片面、无关的干扰选项，选出最贴合全文主旨的标题。

4. 细节理解题：根据原文第二段末尾句"Therefore, to make himself look more powerful, he wore a mask with an ugly face painted on it."可知，兰陵王戴面具是为了让自己看起来更有威慑力、更强大。选项A和原文“兰陵王是古代四大美男之一”的表述相悖，选项C、D的内容原文完全没有提及，因此选B。
5. 细节理解题：根据原文最后一段第一句"As time goes by, facial paintings are used to show the personalities(个性) of different roles."可知，脸谱用来展现不同角色的个性，选项D的characters此处意为性格、个性，是personality的同义替换，选项A工作、B爱好、C习惯均未在文中出现，因此选D。
6. 主旨大意题：全文开篇引出京剧脸谱的特点，随后通过两个历史故事重点介绍京剧脸谱的起源由来，最后说明脸谱成为京剧特色艺术形式。选项A未点明核心的“京剧脸谱来历”，过于宽泛；选项B的“中国现代艺术”和原文传统京剧的主题完全不符；选项D只提及京剧不同角色，完全偏离核心论述对象脸谱，只有C选项“京剧脸谱的历史”最贴合全文内容，因此选C。
