Unit 1 Women of achievement.閱讀理解A(2020·河北省普高質(zhì)監(jiān))Martha Graham, born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. 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 become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Martha's parents didn't 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 didn't give up. Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag. “A Dancer's 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 country's 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:本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了現(xiàn)代舞之母瑪莎·格蘭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推理判斷題。第一段中將瑪莎·格蘭姆的影響和其他的一些偉大的人物相比,暗示她的影響也非常大,故最佳答案為C。2Why didn't Martha's parents approve of her desire to dance at first?AShe was too old to learn American dance.BAmerican dance was seen as a lower art form.CThere was no academic school to teach dancing.DHer family was too poor to afford her tuition.答案:B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的第二句At that time, the dancers were looked down on舞蹈家在那時(shí)是被看不起的,暗示舞蹈在當(dāng)時(shí)是一種地位較低的藝術(shù)形式,故最佳答案為B。3When Martha Graham continued to dance in her 70s, she_.Awas warmly welcomed by the youthBachieved huge success once againCreceived many awards for her ageDwas attacked by people答案:D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的第一、二句 Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy.

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. I'm 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 I'm 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, I'll 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 doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't 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 (歌詞) and live them out in our daily life. At the year's 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:本文講述了一位87歲的老太太Rose仍然堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí),實(shí)現(xiàn)了自己上大學(xué)的夢(mèng)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細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“I looked round when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
