问题     Ballet training in Russia begins at age nine or ten. Whatever the limitations of ballet in the Soviet Union, it is no wonder that Russian ballet dancers perform with ease leaps and lifts seldom attempted elsewhere, and that the standard of dancing in a Russian corps de ballet is far above that usually seen in other countries-nine years of ballet discipline is almost unheard of outside Russia.
    The period devoted to dance classes increases gradually from two or three hours a day to five or six. As in other institutions of higher learning, ballet students receive monthly government stipends in their last four years, varying from 160 to 200 rubles ($16 to $20). Of the thirty pupils to begin ballet each year, fewer than twenty-five usually graduate; the others drop out because of poor health or lack of ability.
    Upon graduation, the starting salary for members of a corps de is 100 rubles a month, while prima ballerinas receive 6 000. Russia’s most famous ballet company, the Bolshoi, has first pick of each graduating class, but few dancers have the good fortune to begin with this company; all graduates, however, are assured of jobs in ballet.
    Stars such as Ulanova were produced in this fashion, with training started early and security, if not intellectual independence, guaranteed.
Long training has enabled Russian ballet dancers to________.
选项 A、give unusually long performances
B、develop new ballet figures
C、perform leaps and lifts seldom seen elsewhere
D、overcome the limitations of ballet in the U. S. S. R.
答案C
解析 推理题。答案来自于首段第二句。破折号后的句子意为“长达九年的芭蕾训练在俄罗斯以外是闻所未闻的事情”，该句解释了为什么俄罗斯的芭蕾舞演员的演技如此出色，以及为什么俄罗斯芭蕾舞团的标准远超过其他国家。C选项意为“完成其他地方很难见到的跳举动作”，符合句意，故为正确选项。
