【要点综述】你知道探戈舞的历史吗?
它是如何诞生的?
又如何传播到世界各地?
且看本文一一道来。
72.D 细节理解题。
根据题干中“theoriginofthetango”定位到第一段的内容,可知探戈起源于阿根廷首都,故选D。
73.C 推理判断题。
根据题干中的关键词“tango”定位到文章第二段第三句“Atthattime,thereweremanyfewerwomenthanmen,soifamandidn'twanttobeleftout,hisonlychoicewastodancewithanothermansothathecouldattracttheattentionofthefewavailablewomen.”,因此可知C项正确。
74.C 细节理解题。
根据题干中的关键词“BeforeWorldWarⅠ”定位到最后一段。
探戈传到美国是第一次世界大战结束后,传到日本是1926年,传到韩国更晚。
由此可知,答案A、B、D均不对。
而从文章第三段可知,探戈传到法国应该是在第一次世界大战之前。
故选C。
75.B 主旨大意题。
根据题干中的关键词“besttitle”定位到文章的内容。
由文章内容可知,文章首段讲述了探戈的诞生,接着讲述了探戈的传播,也就是说,全文讲述的是探戈的历史。
故选B。
