Question

6．There are many theories about how drama （戲�。� came into being in ancient Greece．The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama developed gradually from ceremonies．The argument for this view goes as follows．
In the beginning，human beings viewed the natural forces of the world as unpredictable，and they sought through various means to control these unknown powers．Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then kept and repeated until they hardened into fixed ceremonies．Eventually stories arose which explained the mysteries of the ceremonies．As time passed，some of them were abandoned，but the stories，later called myths （神話），provided materials for art and drama
Those who believe that drama came out of ceremonies also argue that those ceremonies contained the seed of theater because music，dance，and masks were almost always used．In addition，there were performers，and，since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the rules of ceremonies，religious leaders usually assumed that task．Wearing masks，they often impersonated （扮演） other people，animals，or supernatural beings，and performed the desired effect by gestures--success in hunt or battle，the coming rain，the revival （復活） of the Sun--as an actor might．Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities．
Another theory finds out the theater came from the human Interest in storytelling．According to this view，tales （about the hunt，war，or other events） are gradually formed，at first through the use of impersonation，action，and dialogue by a speaker and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person A closely related theory about drama traces to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations （模仿） of animal movements and sounds．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇議論文．主要討論戲劇的起源的，戲劇是怎么形成的．有的理論認為戲劇起源于宗教儀式，盡管有人說戲劇起源于宗教儀式，但是它們還是有區(qū)別的，劇演要有合適的演出地點，戲劇表演時，"表演區(qū)"和"觀看區(qū)"有明顯的分界線，另外表演戲劇還要有演員．而宗教儀式在進行過程中為了避免犯錯誤都是由宗教領袖來進行，由他們戴上面具，穿上服裝來模仿其他人，動物或超自然的東西，做出一些動作以求達到目的．
也有人認為戲劇是人類講故事的興趣．

解答 60．D   細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段的句子"There are many theories about how drama （戲�。� came into being in ancient Greece．The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama developed gradually from ceremonies．"可知，戲劇是從儀式中逐漸演變而來．因此D項錯誤，故選D．
61．A   細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段的句子"Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then kept and repeated until they hardened into fixed ceremonies．"可知，似乎能帶來想要的結(jié)果的那些措施被保留下來了，也就是說不是所有的措施都是有效的．故選 A．
63．A    詞義猜測題．根據(jù)最后一段的句子"Another theory finds out the theater came from the human Interest in storytelling"，其中的"came from"和"trace to"是相近的意思，就是"來自，追溯到"故選A．
64．C    主旨大意題．從文章第一段的句子"There are many theories about how drama （戲劇） came into being in ancient Greece．"可知，這篇文章講的是戲劇是怎么形成的．故選C．

點評 解答細節(jié)理解題時，一個常用的方法就是運用定位法，即根據(jù)題干和選項中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子，與選項進行比較從而確定答案；推理判斷題既要求學生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思，又要求學生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷，力求從作者的角度去考慮，不要固守自己的看法或觀點．
