Question

【題目】 Walking through the winter park, the trees stand cold and bare (光禿禿的). 【1】 As I keep walking, a noise in the background is becoming louder and clearer. Now, 100 meters ahead, is a group of women gathered (聚集) at the sides of a path. In the cold wind of winter, they’re moving their arms and legs to a rhythm (節(jié)奏). 【2】

It seems that if you go to any public space around China, you’re likely to see these dancing aunties. When I first came to China, it was the first thing that stuck (定住) me. 【3】 You won’t see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.

Now and again the dancing aunties have hit the headlines (標題). Some people find them annoying. 【4】With most of them middle-aged, they finally have some free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work, and their kids have left.

Personally, I like seeing these women enjoying themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older.

【5】 Now is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.

A. That’s because in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit.

B. The winter has shaken their yellow leaves to the ground.

C. Besides, most of them have raised (撫養(yǎng)) the whole families.

D. They are, of course, the dancing aunties.

E. But others respect (尊重) their right (權利) to dance in public.

【解析】

本文介紹了一位英國人在中國看見很多年長女士在寒風中跳舞。人們對這些跳舞的女士有不同的看法。

【1】根據(jù)“the trees stand cold and bare (光禿禿的).”可知，樹上光禿禿的，因此寒冬把黃葉晃到地上了，故選B。

【2】根據(jù)“they’re moving their arms and legs to a rhythm (節(jié)奏).”可知，她們正伴隨著節(jié)奏揮舞著胳膊和雙腿，因此她們是跳舞的女士們，故選D。

【3】根據(jù)“You won’t see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.”可知，在英國在公共場所跳舞是不常見的，故選A。

【4】根據(jù)“Some people find them annoying.”可知，此處介紹其他人的看法，故選E。

【5】根據(jù)“Now is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.”可知，現(xiàn)在是他們玩得高興的時候，因此前面介紹他們之前撫養(yǎng)了全家，故選C。
