Why does the student go to see the professor? [br] According to the professor, what is special about the play The Persians? Choose 2 answers.
Listen to a conversation between a student and his ancient history professor. (S = Student, P = Professor)
S: I know you put a lot of effort into making all the arrangements for the play in New York, getting us the special group discount, plus getting the department to help with the tickets.
P: Well, it’s not like everyday we have the opportunity to attend a production of Aeschylus, The Persians, performed by the National Theater of Greece no less. You know it is the earliest surviving Greek tragedy, the very first one.
S: Oh, I didn’t realize that The Persians was the oldest of all the Greek plays. That’s kind of neat. Aeschylus lived in like the 15th century B.C.E., right?
P: Yes, he lived during a series of wars that the Persian chronicles—the Persian Wars, and that’s what makes this play unusual. It talks about historical events that were occurring more or less around the time it was written. We’ll talk about it in next week’s class.
S: Oh that’s interesting. Is that the only Greek play that talks about like current events at that time?
P: That’s right. Well, the only play that we know of anyway. If other plays write the similar topics, those plays have been lost. But we are getting sidetracked. You wanted to tell me something?
S: Yes. I know you are not going to be too happy about this, but I just don’t think that I would enjoy this play.
P: I am sorry to hear that. Um, what’s the problem?
S: Well, seeing a play in a language I don’t understand, I just don’t think I’d get very much out of it. So I…
P: Well, you’ll surely understand some things. We’ll be studying the play beforehand so you’ll be familiar with it. Anyway, attendance is required. It is in the syllabus. And there’s a short paper on it due too. That’s also mentioned in the syllabus.
S: I sort of misplace my syllabus.
P: Well, you’ll need to get a copy from a classmate. Anyway, the play will have supertitles. That’s common practice nowadays.
S: Supertitles?
P: Like subtitles in movies, but they usually projected them across the top of the stage.
S: Oh, yeah, I know what they are. They had them when our Intro to Music class went to the opera in New York.
P: Well, there you go. See, people go to the opera all the time. They don’t necessarily know the language in which the opera’s been performed. What language was your opera in?
S: Russian. Another language I don’t understand.
P: And… did you enjoy it?
S: Well, it was a little frustrating at first not understanding the words, but once I got past that, yeah, I actually did get a lot out of it.
选项
A、It is the primary source of information about the linguistic features of ancient Greek.
B、It was recently rediscovered after having been lost for many years.
C、It is the earliest Greek tragedy still in existence today.
D、It mentions events that were taking place at the time it was written.
答案
C,D
解析
题目询问《波斯人》的特别之处。在谈到《波斯人》这部剧时,教授说它是the earliest surviving Greek tragedy“现存最早的希腊悲剧”,对应C项。接着,教授又提到,它的内容关于historical events that were occurring more or less around the time it was written “写作当时发生的历史事件”,对应D项。因此,本题选C、D两项。对话中没有谈及linguistic features of ancient Greek“古希腊语言特征”,A项“它是关于古希腊语言特征的主要资料来源”没有依据。同样,教授也没说这部戏剧曾经丢失过,故B项“在丢失多年之后,它就在最近又被重新发现”也不选。
