问题     Dancer Martha Graham trained her body to move in different ways and in different contexts from any before attempted "Life today is nervous, sharp, and zigzag," she said, "it often stops in midair. That is what I aim for in my dances. " She insisted she never started out to be a rebel. It was only that the emotions she had to express could not be projected through any of the traditional forms.
    This was in 1925. All forms of art were undergoing a revolution. The theories of psychology were being used to extend the boundaries of poetry, music, and painting.
    Martha Graham’s first dance concert in her new idiom occurred on April 18, 1926. Experts of dance gathered at the Forty-eight Street Theatre in New York and witnessed Martha Graham’s first foray into this new realm of dance. They saw, through such dance sequences as "Three Gobi Maidens", and "A Study in Lacquer", desires and conflicts expressed through bodily movement. These critics agreed that something entirely new, a departure from all previous forms had been witnessed.
    In the early thirties, she founded the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. Her classes were used as laboratory for her stage works, and her stage works in turn were a means for attracting new pupils to her school—a sort of self-winding process, with herself as the key to the development.
    Martha Graham and the school she had founded are virtually equivalent to the modern dance. She had not only produced a technique of dance, choreographed and taught it, but her students have gone out to fill the modern dance world.
We can infer from the passage that the present status of Martha Graham’s work______.
选项 A、is carried on by her students
B、is bitterly objected by experts of dance
C、is historically interesting, but is no longer popular
D、has evolved into something absurd
答案A
解析 这是一道推理题，要求考生推断Martha Graham作品的现状。回答这道题的关键在于理解文章的最后一句话“她不仅自创了一种舞蹈技巧，自己设计、编排舞蹈动作并传授之，而且她的学生也遍及现代舞蹈界”。从这句话中，我们可以推断现在Martha Graham的作品主要由她的学生来演绎和传承，因此选择A。
