Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error, and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to discard all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audience and see it accepted and acclaimed.Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance, before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (精湛的技巧) shown by complicated, designed positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.Her second contribution was in dance costume. She discarded corset (紧身内衣), ballet shoes, and stint costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian tunics, bare feet and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.She was as exciting and eccentric in her personal life as in her dance.1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?2.According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan?3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an area of dance that Duncan worked to change?4.Compared to those of the ballet, Duncans costumes were less（ ）.5.What does the paragraph following the passage probably discuss?问题1选项A.The Evolution of Dance in the Twentieth Century.B.Artists of the Last Century.C.Natural Movement in Dance.D.A Pioneer in Modern Dance.问题2选项A.A model for movement.B.Something to conquer.C.A place to find peace.D.A symbol of disorder.问题3选项A.The musicB.The stage setsC.CostumesD.Movements问题4选项A.costlyB.colorfulC.gracefulD.restrictive问题5选项A.Duncans further contribution to modern dance.B.The music customarily used in ballet.C.Other aspects of Duncans life.D.Audience acceptance of the new form of dance.【答案】第1题:D第2题:A第3题:B第4题:D第5题:C【解析】第1题:1.主旨大意题。结合全文内容可知，本文是一篇传记，主要讲述的是现代舞的先驱Isadora Duncan对舞蹈的巨大贡献。所以选项D正确。2.判断推理题。题干问的是“对Isadora Duncan来说，大自然代表了什么？”根据第二段的一、二句“她对自然运动形式的探索使她进入了自然。她认为运动应该像树木的摇摆和大海的波涛一样自然，应该与大地的运动协调一致。”也就是说，Isadora Duncan把大自然当做舞蹈运动的模型，将舞蹈和自然相结合。所以选项A正确。3.细节事实题。原文第三段主要讲述的是Duncan对舞蹈动作的改变；第四段主要讲述的是对舞蹈服装的改变；第五段主要讲述的是对音乐运用的改变。所以只有选项B“舞台”的改变在原文中没有提及。4.判断推理题。根据原文第四段的内容“她摒弃了紫色内衣，芭蕾舞鞋和具有限制性的服装，取而代之的是飘逸的希腊宽松外衣、光着脚和披散着的头发。” 由此可知，Duncan的服装是轻松自由的，相对于芭蕾服装来说，没有那么多的限制性，所以选项D正确。5.判断推理题。根据最后一段的内容“她的个人生活就像她的舞蹈一样令人兴奋和古怪。”由此可推断，接下来可能要讲到的内容是Duncan生活的其他方面。选项C正确。第2题:第3题:第4题:第5题:4. 单选题The American Civil War was a four-year armed（1）between northern and southern sections of the United States.
