Modern Japan, despite its ready adoption of western manners, is in things theatrical still faithful to the ancient feudal day. It is true that within the last few years, the old school drama has to some extent lost ground, and quite recently performances of Shakespeare’s Othello and Hamlet, and Daudet’s Sappho have been received with favor by Tokyo audiences.
The explanation of this curious survival of the old form of play, at a time when all Japan is eagerly imitating the foreigner, is undoubtedly to be found in the peculiar customs of the country. The progressive Japanese finds it easier to change his mode of dress than to reform habits bred in the bone. The old plays, lasting, as they formerly did, from early morning until nearly midnight, just suited the Japanese play-goer, who, when he does go to the theatre, makes an all-day affair of it. Indeed, theatre-going in Japan is a very serious matter, and not to be entered upon lightly or without due preparation. Recently Sada Yoko and Oto Kawakami, who learned a good deal in their foreign travels, introduced the comparatively short evening performance of three or four hours, an innovation which was at once welcomed by the better class of people. But the new arrangement found little favor with the general public, and particular indignation was aroused in the bosom of the Japanese Matinee Girl who loves to sit in the theatre as long as possible and weep over the play. For, to the young gentlewoman, the theatre is essentially the place for weeping. Japanese girls are extremely sentimental, and a play without tear-provoking situations would not appeal to them in the least.
The Japanese women are passionately devoted to the drama. It is usual for a party to book a box through a tea house connected with the theatre and at the same time make arrangements for what refreshments they wish served. The Japanese maiden makes the most elaborate preparations days beforehand. To be at the theatre on time, playgoers must rise with the sun, and all their meals, including breakfast, are eaten in the tiny box in the playhouse. It is not an easy task to reach one’s seats and once the family has settled down, nothing but a catastrophe would induce it to leave its box. The women chew candy and the men freely drink sake as the play goes on.
Paragraph 1 stresses the idea that the general public in Tokyo______.
选项
A、favors Shakespeare’s masterpieces
B、enjoys Japanese old school drama
C、appreciates western classic theatre
D、likes performances of foreign styles
答案
C
解析
本题考查细节归纳。文中第、一段第二句:It is true that within the last few years,the old school drama has to some extent lost ground,and quite recently performances of Shakespeare’s Othello and Hamlet,and Daudet’s Sappho have been received with favor by Tokyo audiences.句意如下:从近几年情况看确实如此。传统的校园话剧在某种程度上已经黯然失色,而新近莎士比亚的《奥赛罗》和《哈姆雷特》以及都德的《莎孚》备受东京观众的喜爱。据此分析,东京观众喜欢欧美的经典戏剧,所以C项符合题意。
