Question

    Rebecca Davis and LaMar Baylor teach ballet to street children in Kigali，Rwanda．The  children have lost all of their families．Some have been in prison； others have sold their bodies for sex．Dance classes provide the children with structured learning and self-expression that they've never had before．
    Rebecca Davis is the founder and director of the dance company．She got the idea for the project after visiting Rwanda in 2008．There she met a large number of street children who were dancing，and she thought that dance could be used to get them off the street and into a safe place．She believes that learning to dance is a step toward education．She says children can take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow directions．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要讲述了由丽贝卡戴维斯创办的一项教街头孩子跳舞的活动，该活动旨在帮助孩子们通过学习舞蹈，适应课堂氛围，从而接受更好的教育．例如本文讲到：通过学习舞蹈，适应了课堂教学的孩子还可以学习信息技术，班上表现出色的男生可以获得奖学金并被送往日出寄宿学校等；文中还提到了拉玛尔贝勒与街头的孩子们都从学习舞蹈中得到了好处；最后讲到：由于这项活动很受欢迎，所以它得到了迅速发展与壮大．

解答 21．C  细节理解题   根据第一段"The project helps young people learn more about dance and learn how to behave in a classroom environment．该活动帮助年轻人学习更多的关于舞蹈的知识以及学习在课堂教学中该怎么做"可知，该活动旨在帮助街上的孩子们接受课堂教育；故选C．
22．B  细节推理题   根据第四段"Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding School"可知，只有班上表现出色的男生才可以获得奖学金并被送往日出寄宿学校，故排除A； 根据第三段"She says children can take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow directions．"可知，在孩子们学会了参与课堂和听从指示后，他们可以上信息技术课，故排除C； 根据第二段"Some have been in prison"可知，只有一些做过监狱，所以排除D； 故选B
23．A  内容归纳题   根据第四段"About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid．大约有30个男生获此资助"以及根据第五段"As for LaMar Baylor，he knows from his own experience how dance can lead to a better life对于LaMar Baylor，他已经从他的亲身经历中体会到了舞蹈给他带来的更好的生活"可知，他们都从学习舞蹈中获得了好处；故选A．
24．D  推理判断题  作者在最后一段中讲述了由Rebecca Davis的舞蹈公司创办的教街头孩子跳舞这一活动得到了迅速发展与壮大，因此可以推断出该活动赢得了人们的青睐，成长迅速；故选D
