Unit3 Festivals and customs
一、阅读理解(本大题共4小题,共8.0分)
A
If you ever visit an English village, make sure to look out for Morris dance. Undoubtedly as one of the strangest traditions of English culture, Morris dance is a form of folk dance that dates back to the 15th century. If you ever get the chance, you really have to see it.
Men and women wearing old-fashioned and worn clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Women wear long, frilly (多褶边的) skirts and men wear short trousers with bells attached to them. They dance to traditional folk music which is often played on traditional musical instruments.
Some groups carry heavy black sticks with which they beat against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air while they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when it's over, the dancers and the audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The celebrations will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again.
Morris dance is a great English tradition but it's facing a big crisis (危机). As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining Morris dance groups. The dancers are getting older and older and finally, if nothing is done to change this trend, the tradition will die out within the next few decades.
If you've ever had the fortune to see Morris dance, you may catch on to why teenagers aren't rushing to sign up. Putting it to the point, it's not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to do. Why dress up in bells and funny clothes when you could go clubbing Or play sport Or do anything else
However, it would be a great pity to lose such a fun and lively part of England's history and culture. It's important to preserve some traditions and customs especially when it's something as harmless and happy as Morris dance. So here's a toast to the next generation of would-be Morris dancers!
