问题 What is the main topic of the conversation? [br]  
W: Today’s arts report is on Dan Parker of the American Indian Dance Theater. Mr. Parker, I understand your troupe performs traditional music and dance from many different Native American cultures. Can you give us some ideas of some of the dances you’ll be doing in the performance tonight?
M: Certainly. We’ll be doing won-us-award dance. Originally it was a story telling device to recount battles. Another is the grass dance, performed by the plains Indians, where they actually flatten tall field grass to prepare for a ceremony.
W: Since your dancers are from many different tribes, how can you be sure the dances are done correctly?
M: Everything we do has been approved by the elders of our tribes. That’s partly because we don’t necessarily know each other’s styles of dances. But it’s also because it’s hard to get complete agreement even within the same tribe about exactly how the dance should be done.
W: Anyone who attends one of your performances will notice that your company goes to a lot of trouble to provide detailed explanations of the origin of the dances, the music, the costumes and so forth. Could you explain to our listeners why you do these?
M: Good question. Our explanations show that in our cultures, dance is ritual rather than entertainment. We also want to make it clear to our audience that we are not performing any dances used for sacred ceremonies.

选项 A、To broadcast an award ceremony.
B、To announce a meeting of the tribal elders.
C、To celebrate the opening of a new theater.
D、To inform people about a performance.

答案 D

解析 推理题。问到采访的目的,我们同样应该主要关注的是主持人或记者的提问,单个问题或是多个问题的综合便可显露出采访的意图。本段对话中,主持人的问题都是要求对方介绍他们所表演的舞蹈的情况,所以其目的也就是要通过这样的方式告知相关表演的情况,所以在此我们应该选D项。
