This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. ”可知，她自信地告訴人們她對(duì)舞蹈有不同的看法，她將在世界上傳播。很自然，這在一開始就引起了人們的嘲笑和大笑，但隨著她的工作越來越多，這樣的事情就不那么頻繁了。由此可知，她的舞蹈風(fēng)格一開始不被人們接受。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”如果你以爬樹的能力來判斷一條魚，它終其一生都會(huì)認(rèn)為自己是愚蠢的。接著又指出在學(xué)校里，伊莎多拉鄧肯是個(gè)失敗者。在舞廳里，她光彩奪目。由此可推斷出，作者在最后一段想要告訴我們每個(gè)人都是獨(dú)特的天才。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。伊莎多拉鄧肯十歲時(shí)輟學(xué)去教別人跳舞，文章主要介紹了她的經(jīng)歷以及所取得的成功。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)，推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇人物類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。3．閱讀理解 Arthur Dubois isn39。t your typical grandfather.
