In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Australian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Eu rope after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinnes, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团). It became a fixed event ev ery August and now attracts 400, 000 people yearly.
At the same time, the "Fringe" appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that eveiyone have the right to perform, and they did so in public house disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the "Fringe" , once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1, 500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1 , 695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1. 25 million tickets were sold.
Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?
选项
A、University students.
B、Popular artists.
C、Famous theatre groups.
D、Big symphony orchestras.
答案
A
解析
推断题。根据第三段第一句话“At the same time,the‘Fringe’appeared as a challenge to the official festival.”和第四段,可以得出“艺穗节”是作为官方节目的对立面出现的,而后吸引了一些大学生的加入。因此,正确答案为A。
