15、atre company, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operatingall of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past.

16、. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent.

24、二段中的“Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence”即使在那个年龄，她也有足够的天赋去挣钱，而且她还有一种罕见的自信；以及“something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her ”能让她心中燃烧的火焰更旺，可推测出划线部分的意思应为“用困难推动她向梦想前进”。故选A。 （2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Duncan was

25、very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. ”可知，她自信地告诉人们她对舞蹈有不同的看法，她将在世界上传播。很自然，这
