Undoubtedly as one of the strangest of English culture, morris dancing is a form of folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century. If you ever get the opportunity, you really have to see it.Men and women wearing oldfashioned, tattered (破烂的) clothing dance in the street of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Women wear long, frilly (有褶边的) skirts and men wear short trousers with bells attached to them. They dance to traditional folk music which is often played on traditional musical instruments.Some groups carry heavy black sticks with which they bash against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air while they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when its over, the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The festivities will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again.Morris dancing is a great English tradition but its facing a big crisis. As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups. The dancers are getting older and older and eventually, if nothing is done to change this trend, the tradition will die out within the next few decades.If youve ever had the fortune to see morris dancing, you may understand why teenagers arent rushing to sign up. Putting it bluntly (直言地), its not exactly the coolest thing for an 18yearold to be doing. Why dress up in bells and funny costumes when you could be going clubbing? Or playing sports? Or doing anything else?However, it would be a great shame to lose such a fun and energetic part of Englands history and culture. Its important to look after some traditions and customs especially when its something as harmless and happy as morris dancing. So heres a toast to the next generation of wouldbe morris dancers! Lets hope they dont leave it behind.体裁：说明文题材：社会文化主题：莫里斯舞面临危机【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种传统的舞蹈以及这种舞蹈面临的现状。4What is the article mainly about?AThe popularity of morris dancing in the UK.BThe origins of morris dancing in the UK.CDifferent attitudes toward morris dancing in the UK.DTraditions and development of morris dancing in the UK.答案与解析：D考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“morris dancing is a form of folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century”可知，莫里斯舞是一种民间舞蹈，可以追溯到15世纪，并由此引出文章内容。下文对这种舞蹈进行了介绍，所以选D。5What can we know about morris dancing?ADancers usually wear long dresses with bells attached.BPeople sing traditional folk music while they are dancing.CDancers perform with sticks or handkerchiefs in their hands.DPeople prefer to dance till nighttime near pubs and then stop to drink beers.答案与解析：C考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Some groups carry heavy black sticks with which they bash against each other while they dance.
