Unit 2　The universal language课前预习导学主题导读YES,it’s true:Pianist Lang Lang’s successful career began with a Tom and Jerry cartoon.“I was 2 years old,”Lang Lang told The Seattle Times in an interview in October.“I was amazed that Tom could extend his fingers so much on the keys.He was playing Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody,which I like to play now.”Celebrated as one of the great pianists of the time,Lang Lang,27,has become a classical music superstar.He even played for billions of TV viewers during the Olympics’ Opening Ceremony in Beijing.Lang was named Grammy Cultural Ambassador to China by the American Recording Academy to promote music education and cultural understanding between the two countries in 2008.According to Gary Graffman,who tutored(指导)Lang at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia,Lang Lang“has an ability to colour music,to draw something out of the black notes on the page”. “Watching him draw sound from a piano is like watching a sculptor(雕刻家)carving from stone a figure he knows is in there,”Graffman said.Lang Lang is known for his wildly emotional stage style.Some love it,but it’s not to the taste of those who think art should be understated(不夸张的).Lang insists there is no calculation(深思熟虑)in the way he plays.“If you are determined to show people what you can do and try to make them excited,then you will be a loser because you are trying too hard.We can all spot a fake(作假).”诱思探究1.What was Lang named to promote cultural understanding between America and China?2.Who don’t like Lang’s stage style?答案:1.Grammy Cultural Ambassador to China.2.The people who think art should be understated.基础导练Ⅰ.词汇拓展1.　 adj.共同的,普遍的,全体的,全世界的→　n.宇宙,世界,领域?答案:universal;universe2.　 adj.固执的,顽固的→　adv.固执地,顽固地→　 n.倔强,顽强;棘手?答案:stubborn;stubbornly;stubbornness3.　 vt.判刑,宣判;指责,谴责→　 adj.该受责备的,应受谴责的?答案:condemn;condemnable4.　 adj.令人不安的;引起恐慌的→　 vt.打扰;妨碍;使不安?答案:disturbing;disturb5.　 adj.不情愿,不愿意;勉强的,无奈的→　 adv.不情愿地;勉强地→　 n.不愿意;不情愿?答案:unwilling;unwillingly;unwillingness6.　 adj.清楚的,显然的→　n.证据,证明;迹象?答案:evide
