按图索骥

纸上谈兵

杯弓蛇影

余音绕梁

Explanation

This question tests AP Chinese Language and Culture skills, specifically planning spoken presentations. Effective presentation planning includes selecting idioms that reinforce the presentation's theme while adding cultural depth and memorability. In this scenario, Zhang Ning needs an idiom that relates to music's lasting impact and beauty. Choice A (余音绕梁) is correct because it literally means 'lingering sound around the beams,' describing beautiful music that resonates long after it ends, perfectly capturing both the aesthetic quality of traditional music and its enduring influence. Choice B (按图索骥) is incorrect because it means 'looking for a horse using a picture,' referring to rigid adherence to rules, which has no connection to music or cultural influence. To help students: Create thematic idiom banks for different presentation topics. Practice explaining how chosen idioms enhance rather than distract from main points. Watch for: students selecting idioms based on familiarity rather than relevance to content.

Choice B is correct because defining the issue first ensures shared understanding, analyzing pros and cons demonstrates thorough consideration, and concluding with a position shows informed decision-making based on evidence. Choice A is incorrect because stating a position before defining terms or providing evidence appears biased and prevents objective analysis. To help students: Practice structuring arguments that show consideration of multiple perspectives. Teach the importance of establishing common ground before taking positions. Watch for: students rushing to conclusions without adequate analysis or failing to define key terms.

To help students: Build a repertoire of academic idioms categorized by theme. Practice selecting idioms that reinforce rather than distract from main points. Watch for: students using idioms merely for decoration rather than meaningful enhancement of content.
