  Passage 1 (选自大纲样题)

  Tap Dancing(踢踏舞)

  ① Most of the arts in America are a combination of ideas and influences from many sources. Tap dancing certainly fits in this category. It is truly an American art, but it has been influenced by English and Irish dance steps as well as steps from Africa.

  ② Some historians argue that tap dancing was first done by slaves on Southern plantations in North America, and that originally steps were done wearing  soft-soled shoes. Irish step dancing, which also involves intricate(复杂的)foot patterns, contributed the movement of the free leg to one side and the swing of  the elbows outward. Wooden clog shoes were worn as tap dancing evolved, but for  a long time the steps were done flat-footed.

  ③ Tap dancing developed into the form we recognize today in the early 20th century. Metal taps were added to dance shoes, and a number of new techniques were perfected. One of the most important was the change from the flat-footed step to dancing on the balls of the feet. This is commonly attributed to dancer Bill Robinson. Another was the "cramp roll," in which the dancer would rapidly move from the ball of the right foot to the ball of the left, and then to the heel of each foot. This separation of the steps into distinct areas of the foot, an innovation by dancer John Bubbles, allowed dancers to improvise even more new patterns. Slides across the floor and movements up and down stairs further  enlivened tap. So did relaxed arm and shoulder movements. Challenges became a  common part of dance routines, with dancers competing very hard to outperform(胜过)each other with new and difficult steps.

  ④ Many dancers excelled at tap and contributed to its development. Besides Bill Robinson and John Bubbles, well-known tappers have included Sammy Davis, Jr., Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell, Gregory Hines, and Savion Glover.

But for  each person or business that is making and selling something, it is very real. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies  and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do.Q: The word "real" in the second sentence may most probably mean _______.A. seriousB. importantC. trueD. concrete

  【答案】D

  【解析】本题考查阅读选择之词义理解题。根据上下文来猜测,从real所在句子的上文The market may be something abstract."市场这个概念看上去有点抽象。" 再看real所在的句子But for each person  or business that is making and selling something, it is very real."但对于每一个从事市场经济行为的人来说,它确是……",but表示前后转折,故可以推断real在这里是"抽象的"反义含义,即"具体的",故选择D。
