    　　People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance．Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the audiences going to watch modern dance companies are also larger．And perhaps the most popular modern dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert．The Ballet Rambert is Britain’s oldest established dance company which began in 1926．In the 60s the company lacked the money to go on staging big productions．The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards．A change of direction was necessary．They decided to give the ballet a “new look” in 1966．The aim was to provide a chance for new talent－for musicians and designers as well as dancers－and to show dance as a contemporary art form．And although some of the company’s previous fans disliked the change, new audiences came to see the productions．The modern dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity．In 1968 the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London’s West End．The company became a focus for new, progressive talent in the arts．

    　　Later, the Ballet Rambert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success．The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modern dance popular while creating original and often avant-garde(标新立异的)productions．It can claim to be the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!

    阅读理解

    　　Art, at its simplest, is a form of communication．As most forms of communication have an intention or goal directed－toward another individual, this is a motivated purpose．Scientific illustration(插图), for example, is a form of art as communication．Maps are another example．However, the content need not be scientific．

    　　Emotions, moods and feelings are also communicated through art．

    　　Art as entertainment．Art may seek to bring about a particular emotion or mood, for the purpose of relaxing or entertaining the viewer．This is often the function of the art industries of Motion Pictures and Video Games．

    　　The Avante－Garde, one of the defining functions of early twentieth century art, has been to use visual images to bring about political change．Art movements that had this goal－Dadaism, Surrealism, Russian Constructivism, and Abstract Expressionism, among others－are referred to as the avante – garde arts．In some case, the function of art may be simply to criticize some aspect of society like the Graffiti art．Graffiti art and other types of street art are graphics and images that are spray－painted(喷绘)on publicly viewable walls, buildings, buses, trains, and bridges to express people's social needs, usually without permission of the government．

    　　Art for psychological and healing purposes．The Diagnostic Drawing Series, for example, is used to determine the personality and emotional functioning of a patient．The end product is not the major goal in this case, but rather a process of healing, through creative acts, is sought．The piece of artwork created in the healing process may also offer inspiration into the troubles experienced by the subject and may suggest suitable approaches to be used to solve the psychological problems．

    　　Art for propaganda(宣传), or commercialism．Art is often used as a form of propaganda, and thus can be used to communicate and influence popular ideas or mood．In a similar way, art that tries to sell a product also influences mood and emotion．In both cases, the purpose．of art here is to subtly lead the viewer into a barticular emotional or psychological response toward a particular idea or object．

    (1)

    What is probably NOT communicated through art?

    [　　]

    A．

    knowledge

    B．

    loneliness

    C．

    ideas

    D．

    illustration

    (2)

    Which of the statements is true about the Avante – Carde and Graffit?

    A．

    They call for some social change

    B．

    Both appeared in the early 20 the century．

    C．

    Both criticize the political system

    D．

    Governments use both for political reasons．

    (3)

    The underlined phrase “the subject” refers to ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the patient

    B．

    the topic discussed

    C．

    creative acts

    Function of Art

    C．

    Examples of Art

    　　At the moment when looking round the world, all kinds of dance performances are being offered．There are competitions that claim to be a World Cup or World Championship, and the young dancer or the dance teacher who wants to enter his students might be quite confused．Which is which? Which is of high standard and good quality, and which is not worth going to? First of all it has clearly got to be distinguished between the different styles of dance and the purpose of such competitions．When a person wants to learn classical ballet, he or she would never dream of going to a ballroom teacher．Such a teacher might even have been world champion in his ballroom dancing, but he would definitely not be qualified in teaching proper classical ballet．

    　　People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance．Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the audiences going to watch modern dance companies are also larger．And perhaps the most popular modern dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert．

    　　The Ballet Rambert is Britains’ oldest established dance company which began in 1926．In the 60 s the company lacked the money to go on staging big productions．The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards．A change of direction was necessary．They decided to give the ballet a ‘new look” in 1966．The aim was to provide a chance for new talent－for musicians and designers as well as dancers－and to show dance as a contemporary art form．And although some of the company’s previous fans dislike the change, new audiences came to see the productions．

    　　The modern dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity．In the 21 st century the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London’s West End．The company became a focus for new, progressive talent in the art．

    　　Then, the Ballet Ramvert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success．

    　　The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modern dance popular while creating original and often avant－garde(标新立异)productions．It can claim to be the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!
