一、完形填空（10分）
“Click, click, click ...” The show started with a drum beat. Then, Kai played a guqin piece along with the drums. When the music ended, there was silence.
After the show, Miss Zhou asked, “What were you trying to express?”
“I wanted to do something different ... to make the guqin sound ,” Kai said in a low voice. “It’s a good . But I don’t think the guqin and drums are a good match as the drums are too loud.” Miss Zhou said patiently. “I understand what you were trying, but you can break the rules, you have to master them.”
“The bottom board of the guqin symbolizes（象征）the earth and the board symbolizes the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the peace between humans and nature.”
“Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other ?”
“Well, sometimes, it is played with the dizi. And, there’s philosophy（哲理）behind every form of Chinese art. We should try to keep the value of traditions and then them with modern life.”
That night, Kai thought hard about the next show. “How can I balance the traditional spirit with a new touch?” Then, he had an idea—playing a piece of pop music in a style.
The next day, Kai sat behind the guqin and let his fingers dance across the strings. A pop song filled the hall—yet every note the beauty of Chinese music. When the last note ended, the silence this time was followed by clapping hands.
