Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.(22)Dance in America is everywhere. We dance from Florida to Alaska, from horizon to horizon and coast to coast. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties or just to fill the time. “I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in a small town in Iowa. “I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful.(23)My older students say it makes them feel young. It’s marvellous to watch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.” So why do we dance?(24)“I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges. “They arrive at the class in a bad mood and they leave with a smile. Dancing seems to change their mood completely.”
   So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? (25)Andrea Hillie, a dance teacher says, “Dance, like the rhythm of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better. I keep practicing even when I’m exhausted. I find it hard to stop. Dancing reminds me I’m alive.”
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What does the passage say about dance in America?
23. What do we know about Lester Bridges’ dance studio?
24. What happened to the young couple after they attended Lester Bridges’ class?
25. What did Andrea Hillie say about dance?

选项 A、It is located in a big city in Iowa.
B、It is really marvelous to look at.
C、It offers free dance classes to seniors.
D、It offers people a chance to socialize.

答案 D

解析 浏览四个选项,从选项中的dance classes,chance to socialize等词可推测,此题与某物的位置或作用有关。题干问的是关于莱斯特·布里吉斯的舞蹈工作室我们知道哪些信息。短文中莱斯特提到,他年长的学生说跳舞让他们感到年轻。对他们中的许多人来说,这是一种社交活动,故答案为D。莱斯特的舞蹈工作室在爱荷华的一个小镇上,不在大城市里,故排除A项(舞蹈室在爱荷华的一个大城市里)。短文中提到,莱斯特说看着年长的学生们跳舞是一种很棒的感觉,B项(舞蹈工作室看着很不错)偷换概念,故排除。c项(舞蹈工作室为老年人提供免费的舞蹈课程)在文中未提及,故排除。
