问题    In the reception hall of the British Royal Academy of Dance, the statues of four outstanding female dancers are displayed. The stone sculpture of Dai Ailian is one of them.
   Dai Ailian was born in Trinidad, an independent republic in the West Indies in 1916, with her forefathers living abroad for many years. In 1930, she went to London to study dance. Many famous dancers such as Anton Dolin, Rudolf Laban and Mary Wigman had been her teachers. Though ballet and modem dance were not well connected at that time, Dai Ailian learned both of them. This is of great significance for her later development.
   Dai Ailian returned to her homeland in 1939 after the Anti-Japanese War broke out. She gave benefit performances in Hong Kong and on the mainland. Major programs such as Homesick Melody, Selling, Wheat Gleaning Girl and Story of the Guerrill all showed sympathy for the poor and concern over the nation’ s fate.
   Dai Ailian’ s art career entered a golden period after the founding of the People’ s Republic of China. She became the first president of the National Dance Troupe, the first headmistress of the Beijing Dancing School and the director and advisor of the Central Ballet Troupe. Her representative works at this were group dances called Lotus and Flying Apsaras presented in Berlin and Warsaw in 1953 and 1955 and won awards.
   Dai Ailian always says, " Ballet is my work while folk dance is my greatest pleasure. " Her love for Chinese dance led to her efforts. Meanwhile, she introduced the essence of Western dance to China. For this reason, she was regarded as a qualified person to link up Chinese and Western dance cultures.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

选项 A、During the Anti-Japanese War she sold her stories.
B、At the age of 23, she returned to China to give benefit performances.
C、After the founding of the People’ s Republic of China she stopped dancing.
D、She was the first headmaster of the China Dance School.

答案B

解析 根据第三段第一句“Dai Ailian returned to her homeland in 1939 after the Anti-Japanese War broke out.She gave benefit performances in Hong Kong and on the mainland.”可知,戴爱莲于1939年在香港和大陆进行义演。根据第二段第一句“Dai Ailian was born…in 1916…”可知,她出生于1916年。由此可推知,她当时23岁。故选B。A项是对第三段第三句的曲解;根据第四段可知,C项不正确;根据第四段第二句可知,她是北京舞蹈学院的第一位女校长,并没有提到“她是中国舞蹈学院的第一位女校长”,这里是偷换概念,所以D项错误。
