She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.Earlier in her life, however, Martha did not know that she would bee a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Marthas parents didnt approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. Until 1916, she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.In 1936, Graham made her defining work, “Chronicle”, which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. Once again, she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didnt give up. Her last pleted ballet was 1990s Maple Leaf Rag. “A Dancers World” is an introduction to Graham and her work. She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods. Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in nineteen seventysix. She was the first dancer to receive the countrys highest civilian honor. She died in 1991 at the age of ninetysix. In 1998, Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了现代舞之母玛莎格兰姆的故事和她所取得的成就。1Some famous artists mentioned in Paragraph 1 show Martha Graham_.Awas influenced greatly by themBkept in touch with them regularlyChad a great effect on modern danceDliked to make more friends with them答案:C推理判断题。第一段中将玛莎格兰姆的影响和其他的一些伟大的人物相比,暗示她的影响也非常大,故最佳答案为C。2Why didnt Marthas parents approve of her desire to dance at first?AShe was too old to learn American dance.

I looked round when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. Im eightyseven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” She gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now Im getting one !” she told me. After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends.Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon(偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner, Ill never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.” She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics (歌词) and live them out in our daily life. At the years end she finished the college degree she had begun all those years. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.文章大意:本文讲述了一位87岁的老太太Rose仍然坚持学习,实现了自己上大学的梦想的故事。5What happened to the author on the first day of school?AHe got to know an old professor.BHe made the acquaintance of an old lady.CHe joined the Student Union.DHe had to share a milkshake with others.答案:B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I looked round when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
