听力原文:M: Here we are. This is the National Palace Museum. What are you especially interested in seeing? W: It's hard to say. In fact, I know very little about Chinese art and history. But can you give me some details about this building? M: It's built in the classical Chinese style, with a curved roof. W: What are those little statues on the roof? M: In the old days they were used to cover the nails that held the roof together, because the roofs were made of wood. Nowadays, the statues are just for decoration. W: That's the same style. roof as the concert hall we visited yesterday, right? It seems like I've seen it before. M: Right. The styles are the same, but as you can see, the colors are different. The Museum is yellow, which stands for the emperor. W: Hmm. How did the Museum get such a large collection? M: This art collection was the emperors'. But it was taken over by the Nationalists in 1924. W: How old is the collection? M: Some of the bronze pieces go hack to the 17th century B. C., but the collection itself was set up by the first emperor of the Song Dynasty over a thousand years ago. W: Over a thousand years? Incredible! Let's go inside. I can't wait to check it put! M: OK. You know, most of the collection here was put together during the Qing Dynasty. So, what did you think? W: I was impressed with the landscape paintings, and all the jade carvings. That jade cabbage just can' t be beat ! M: Yeah, the colors were so realistic, and it was so carefully carved. What else did you like? W: I really liked the calligraphy. I wish I could understand what it said. The writing was beautiful. M: I'm glad you enjoyed it. (23)
