问题     Danner 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 though any of the traditional forms.
    This was in 1925. All forms of art were undergoing a revolution. The theorized 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 o 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 produced a technique of dance, choreographed and taught it, but her students have gone out to fill the modern dance world.
It can be inferred from the passage that, in the beginning of her career, Martha Graham’s mode of dance was________.

选项 A、accepted only in New York
B、universally accepted
C、entirely ignored
D、considered rebellious

答案D

解析 这是一道考察推理的题型,题干中“infer”一词点明了本题的题型和要求。题干中强调“in the beginning of her career”的条件,要求回答:人们在Martha Graham舞蹈生涯的起步阶段对其舞蹈形式的看法。从首段那句“She insisted she never started out to be a rebel.”中可知Martha Graham的本意并不是做一个离经叛道的人,也就是说当时的人们认为她的舞蹈具有反叛的因素。因此选项D符合题意。
