  People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance.Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the audiences going to watch modern dance companies are also larger.And perhaps the most popular modern dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert.The Ballet Rambert is Britain’s oldest established dance company which began in 1926.In the 60s the company lacked the money to go on staging big productions.The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards.A change of direction was necessary.They decided to give the ballet a “new look” in 1966.The aim was to provide a chance for new talent-for musicians and designers as well as dancers-and to show dance as a contemporary art form.And although some of the company’s previous fans disliked the change, new audiences came to see the productions.The modern dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity.In 1968 the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London’s West End.The company became a focus for new, progressive talent in the arts.

  Later, the Ballet Rambert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success.The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modern dance popular while creating original and often avant-garde(標(biāo)新立異的)productions.It can claim to be the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!

答案:1.D;2.D;3.A;4.A;5.C;
解析:

(1)

是非題。要找出錯(cuò)誤的選項(xiàng),文中提到的Ballet Rambert是一個(gè)舞蹈團(tuán)名而不是人名。A、B、C項(xiàng)可在文中第一段找到。

(2)

語意題。在第一段中,new talent 指的是音樂家、設(shè)計(jì)家,以及舞蹈家。A、C項(xiàng)分別指的是新的方向和節(jié)目,不是指的人;B項(xiàng)雖然指的人,但導(dǎo)演不包括在內(nèi)。

(3)

是非題。要找出錯(cuò)誤的選項(xiàng),第一段中說,還是有一些該舞蹈團(tuán)以前的舞迷不太喜歡這種改變。B、C項(xiàng)也可在短文的第一段找到;D項(xiàng)可在短文的最后一段找到。

(4)

細(xì)節(jié)題。第一句話就說,Ballet Rambert使現(xiàn)代舞變得流行起來。文中Ballet Rambert是英國(guó)最老的舞蹈團(tuán),所以B和C項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的;D項(xiàng)沒有提到。

(5)

主旨題。主要內(nèi)容在短文前已做介紹。錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)說明:A項(xiàng)本文不是介紹現(xiàn)代舞為什么受歡迎的;B項(xiàng)本文沒有介紹訓(xùn)練現(xiàn)代舞蹈家的方法;D項(xiàng)本文談的不是現(xiàn)代舞的發(fā)展,而是Ballet Rambert這個(gè)舞蹈團(tuán)的發(fā)展。
