What is the main topic of the conversation?
W:Today’s arts report is on Dan Parker of the American Indian Dance Theater. Mr. Parker, I understand your troupe performs traditional music and dance from many different Native American cultures. Can you give us some ideas of some of the dances you’ll be doing in the performance tonight?
M:Certainly. We’ll be doing won-us-award dance. Originally it was a story telling device to recount battles. Another is the grass dance, performed by the plains Indians, where they actually flatten tall field grass to prepare for a ceremony.
W:Since your dancers are from many different tribes, how can you be sure the dances are done correctly?
M:Everything we do has been approved by the elders of our tribes.That’s partly because we don’t necessarily know each other’s styles of dances. But it’s also because it’s hard to get complete agreement even within the same tribe about exactly how the dance should be done.
W:Anyone who attends one of your performances will notice that your company goes to a lot of trouble to provide detailed explanations of the origin of the dances, the music, the costumes and so forth. Could you explain to our listeners why you do these?
M:Good question. Our explanations show that in our cultures, dance is ritual rather than entertainment. We also want to make it clear to our audience that we are not performing any dances used for sacred ceremonies.
选项
A、The dances of a Native American dance troupe.
B、The classification of Native American ceremonial dances.
C、Variations of a basic dance among Native American tribes.
D、The training of Native American artists.
答案
A
解析
主旨大意题。在采访中,主持人或记者的问题经常是谈话的核心。对话中主持人问道:“你能向我们介绍一下今晚表演的一些舞蹈吗?”可见舞蹈表演是采访的主题。正确答案是A项。B、C、D项虽然都有dance,但所说的都不是要表演的舞蹈,因此不正确。
