There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable, and they sought through various means, to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.
Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theatre because music, dance, masks and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suit able site had to be provided for performances, and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the "acting area" and the "auditorium". In addition, there were performers, and since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect -- success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun -- as an act might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.
Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this view, tales ( about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator anti then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.
What aspect of drama does the author discuss in the first paragraph?
选项
A、The reason drama is often unpredictable.
B、The seasons in which dramas were performed.
C、The connection between myths and dramatic plots.
D、The importance of costumes in early drama.
答案
C
解析
第一段中的第一句话与最后一句话提供出关键信息…but the stories,later called myths,persisted and provided material for art and drama.从中可以推断㈩与宗教有关的戏剧素材来源。A)项涉及戏剧表演的起因,这一点是第一段所谈到的内容,但此内容是为进一步说明宗教与戏剧的关系而涉及到的,因此这一干扰强度较大的选项可以被排除;B)项中的戏剧表演的季节与D)项中早期戏剧表演中眼装的重要性,这都不是第一段当中所谈到的内容,故排除。
