D人与社会——无声之舞
Deaf dancers' 10-minute performance at the opening of the 2025 China Contemporary Dance Biennial(中国当代舞蹈双年展) on August 27th showed their four years of practice paid off. The audience(观众), including leaders from 14 countries, were deeply touched by the dancers, who performed without a hearing conductor(指挥).
But what the experts didn't know is that it took Walawala Deaf People's Dance Group four years to create the short piece. The greatest difficulty is that deaf dancers can't follow the beat of the music. "We tried many different ways," Yu Qinxin, the director of Walawala, said. "Of course, a hearing conductor standing in front of the dancers is the most convenient way to achieve that but I hope to help my dancers to 'know the beat inside their heart'."
"It's hard, and it takes lots of practice. There are hardly any dance troupes(表演团) of deaf people that can perform without a hearing conductor. I hope we can win a place for ourselves in the world," she added.
In 2020, Yu and her students decided to form a dance troupe of their own. "Walawala" is an expression in Shanghai dialect(方言) that describes the noise of many people talking at the same time. "Like other young people, they want to express themselves and talk with each other by dancing," she said, explaining the name of the group.
Since then, they have been meeting every week and dancing together. "We have been dancing together for almost 10 years," Wu Shenfeng, the captain of Walawala, said, "I hope we could go on dancing as a group till we are old."
But for 33-year-old Pan Liuzhen, dancing was not the most important reason. "I come to dancing practice because they are all here," he said, pointing at his old schoolmates sitting on the dance floor.
"We hope to give more public performances and be seen by more people," said Yu.

D篇
本文为一篇人物报道,讲述了“Walawala”聋人舞蹈团克服无法听到音乐节拍的巨大困难,坚持练习并最终成功演出的励志故事,展现了他们的执着与团结。
第30题:通篇细节都体现了舞蹈团成员们的“勤奋刻苦”:为了一段10分钟的演出苦练四年;尝试各种方法去感知节拍;每周坚持聚会练习;有的成员已一起跳舞近十年。因此,“勤奋的”是最贴切的概括。

【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，围绕“Walawala聋人舞蹈团”的励志故事设置4道题目，解题思路：①第27题是指代题，需定位“that”所在句，结合前文核心问题（聋人舞者无法跟上音乐节拍）判断指代内容；②第28题是细节题，定位“成立舞蹈团”的相关表述，匹配目的；③第29题是推断题，逐一核对选项与原文细节，排除错误项；④第30题需梳理全文体现的舞者特质，选出最贴切的描述。
【解析】
27题：定位至第二段，前文提到“The greatest difficulty is that deaf dancers can't follow the beat of the music.”，后文指出“a hearing conductor standing in front of the dancers is the most convenient way to achieve that”，可知“that”指代“跟上音乐节拍”，对应选项B。
28题：定位至第二段末尾Yu Qinxin的话“I hope we can win a place for ourselves in the world”，明确成立Walawala舞蹈团的目的是在世界为自己赢得一席之地，对应选项C。
29题：逐一分析选项：A项原文为“audience, including leaders from 14 countries”，并非舞者来自14国，错误；B项原文提到“a hearing conductor is the most convenient way to achieve that”，说明听得到的指挥对聋人舞者帮助很大，正确；C项原文“Walawala”是上海话形容多人同时说话的噪音，并非表达善意，错误；D项Wu Shenfeng称一起跳舞近10年，33岁是Pan Liuzhen的年龄，错误，故选B。
30题：通读全文，舞者为演出苦练四年、尝试多种方法感知节拍、每周坚持练习、部分成员共舞近十年，这些细节体现了他们的勤奋刻苦，对应选项D。
