5.TOEFL阅读背景知识篇五

石化林的一点背景知识

石化林存在于美国亚利桑那州的彩绘沙漠内，是广泛散布的石化木和石化树的集聚地。来自火山灰的氧化硅溶于水并且渗入树木中，变成晶体，此时石化木便形成了。人们现在所见到的石化木的鲜艳色彩是由其他矿物质所添加而形成的。

有些石化木看上去仿佛曾被斧子砍断以用作木柴，但它们可能是因地震断裂而形成的。玛瑙桥(玛瑙是一种半宝石)是跨越在一条12米宽的溪流上方的单根石化木。它在跨度上没有支撑，但两端埋在砂岩中。

宝石收藏者过去曾对石化林造成极大的破坏，如今石化木已受法律的保护，无人能再取走哪一片石头。

土著美洲人有一个解释石化林如何产生的故事。一位女神为生火做饭集木头，但木头很湿不能燃烧。女神很生气，便对一些木头施以恶咒语，把这们变成了石头，不能再为任何人所使用。

新托福阅读背景知识：初识芭蕾

初识芭蕾

芭蕾(Ballet)一词，源自意大利文Ballard，意思就是跳舞，专指“足尖舞”，是欧洲古典舞蹈的一种形式。在其发展过程中，因常以这种舞蹈来叙述表演故事，而逐渐形成了一种特殊的演出形式。1772年，查理·狄德罗(Charles Diderot)在法国大百科全书中说:“芭蕾系用跳舞解释行动……特别要求剧场性的赏心悦目……”。帕鲁金尼(Perugino)更详细地叙述说：“芭蕾是由一位编导，运用连带哑剧的一系列独舞和群众，附加音乐和布景，去表现一种诗情画意，或一连串概念，或一个故事化的情节。”芭蕾这种舞蹈形式一直发展到今天，形成了完整的舞剧艺术。

对于中国观众来说，芭蕾并不陌生，尤其近些年来，芭蕾受到了越来越多的观注，一股“芭蕾热”已经在几座大城市悄然兴起。19的“中国歌剧舞剧年”可以说是热闹非凡，各个中外演出团体为广大观众献上了一台又一台精彩的演出，真是“你方唱罢我登场”。从通俗的《天鹅湖》到浪漫的《吉赛尔》，从“拉丁味”的《堂·吉诃德》到充满海

新托福阅读背景知识：脚尖的艺术

脚尖的艺术

从运动的实际需要来看，脚尖鞋的发明能够将舞者身体的重量支撑“面”经过若干倍的缩小后变成支撑“点”，从而有效地减小与地面的摩擦力，提高旋转的速度，造成风驰电掣的效果、超凡脱俗的幻觉，进而更好地为仙凡之恋这类虚幻的芭蕾题材服务。

从芭蕾的本体美学来说，正是脚尖鞋的使用和脚尖舞的技术使芭蕾与其他种类的舞蹈区别开来。当然这种区别主要只是对女舞者而言的。与民间舞和现代舞相对而言，芭蕾作为一种高贵的西文古典舞，与日常生活的距离是最远的。而在生活与艺术这条从标线上，它是最为艺术化的一种舞蹈。

从内容与形式的统一来讲，芭蕾的动作语言作为一种离生活最远的舞蹈形式，最适合表现那种可望而不可及的仙凡之恋的内容，从而完成了形式与内容的高度统一。

从芭蕾的审美理想来说，脚尖鞋的使用能够将原本修长的舞者肢体线条进一步拉长，以延伸这种特定的美感，增强了对空间的冲击力，扩大对空间的占有量，并远远超出人体通常解剖结构的比例，加大芭蕾艺术与日常生活的距离，形象生动地体现出“距离即美”的古典美学原则。

新托福阅读背景知识：怎样欣赏芭蕾

怎样欣赏芭蕾

传统的欣赏思路，要求观众提前半小时左右到达剧场，以便能将日常生活中的琐事和烦恼统统留在剧场的大门外，然后静下心来，全身心地投入剧场这样一个非常特殊的审美场。现代欣赏思路认为，剧情到底是怎么“写”的无足轻重，芭蕾舞剧说到底，还是以舞为主，以剧为辅的，否则，怎么解释芭蕾舞剧中的主演们在跳完双人舞后，甚至在跳完其中的变奏后，便向观众频频施礼的现象?

在欣赏芭蕾的过程中，“第六感觉”——动觉应该是观众最重要的工具。假如你真的不懂如何去欣赏芭蕾的话，那就什么也别想，只管走进剧场，从“感觉”芭蕾开始做起好了。因此芭蕾观众最好轻装上阵，两手空空，以便能够随时对芭蕾舞者的动作做出自己的、自由的、松弛的和即刻的动觉反应和理解。

新托福阅读背景知识：芭蕾技术的20条标准

芭蕾技术的20条标准：

1、旋转：数量和质量的高低是评判芭蕾舞者技术水平高低的核心标准之一，所谓质量，主要指的是旋转过程中，规范的舞姿是否走形，空间的定位是否合乎要求，停止旋转时是否稳定如初，是否能自然而然地完成结尾时的固定舞姿。

2、速度：这是衡量芭蕾舞者技术水平高低的又一硬性标尺。速度越快，难度越大，但在有些旋转和跳跃中，加速则是必不可少的，并且能使这些动作完成起来更加容易一些。当然，速度的快慢只是一种技术的标准，而非艺术的标准。这里涉及到了“舞蹈的本质更多的还是艺术，而非技术”的总体原则，尽管没有比较完美和完整的技术，舞蹈也无法成就为艺术。

3、方向：这是判别技术高低的第三条标准。在动态中变换方向时，要求力度增减得当，而有经验的舞者都懂得，按照圆形的调度转圈比按照直线的调度转圈难得多，而女子保持在一个固定点上完成32周挥鞭转，或男子也在一个固定点上完成几十个二位旁腿转，则往往成为衡量舞者技术水平高低的试金石之一。

4、定点看一点：所谓“定点看一点”，指的是舞者在以躯干为垂直轴作急速旋转时，必须用眼睛盯住正前方的某一点不放，即让整个躯干和四肢先转，而将头部，尤其是双眼，留在后面，直到整个头部与身体间的分离程度达到最大极限时，也就是当身体要进行第二次旋转之前的那一刹那，将头部和双眼蓦地跟着整个身体的动势甩过去，并立即以快于躯体的速度，赶在整个身体完成一整圈之前，找到原来的那个视点，然后死死地盯住不放，这是避免舞者头晕的最好方法。这种作法实际上，就是用建军雷不及掩耳的速度，造成一种静态的假象，以利用最短的时间来完成视觉中的这种方向变化，减少平衡器官中的振荡和变化，避免由此产生的晕眩。

5、变化手臂或腿脚：在旋转或跳跃中变化手臂或腿脚，是对舞者身体平衡与协调能力的又一大挑战。

6、无声而优雅的落地：这应是评判舞者水平高低的又一条标准。

7、跳跃的高度：这当然能够增加舞蹈欣赏中的热烈情绪。比较而言，创造绝对高度远不如在瞬间中保持高度，甚至产生在空中停顿片刻的幻觉那样难。在专家的眼睛里，创造出这种幻觉是舞者最为辉煌的技艺之一。就在这个瞬间里作为人的舞者，或者说舞者的人性特征，得到了最大的发扬，而大自然的地心引力则受到了最大的蔑视。

8、绷膝盖：这是芭蕾技术中绝对不可或缺的规范。

9、绷脚尖：这也是对芭蕾技术完美性的基本要求。

10、高抬腿：从接受美学的角度来看，舞者正面对着观众时，向两侧高抬腿更能出效果。

11、支撑腿的稳定性：完成这个动作的理想化标准，除了膝盖和脚背需要绷直外，还要求支撑腿如板上钉钉一样，一动不动。

12、线条：大致可分两大类，一类是舞者肢体线条，一类则是舞台调度的线条。

13、流畅度：按照中外传统舞蹈的路子，编舞家和观众都习惯于要求舞者动作的线条和舞台调度的线条畅若流水。

14、双人舞：包括了托举、支撑旋转和平衡三大类动作。杰出的舞伴间的默契除了表现在对双人舞的常规动作达到滚瓜烂熟的程度外，更表现在绝对的相互信任之上。

15、大群舞：横竖必须成行，手脚必须到位，动作必须一致，呼吸必须统一，舞句必须流畅，舞者必须协调。大型的群舞中，每位舞者的个性应该加以最大限度的抑制，以便使整个画面保持协调统一。

16、动作干净准确：无论是群体还是个体，舞者的动作都应是干净而准确的。

17、舞者在跳舞时，应该表现出充分而优雅的自信，尤其是在完成简单和高难动作之前和之中，不应表现出任何不安来，而应给人如履平地的轻松感和自如感，以及一气呵成的整体感和舒适感。

18、快感：舞者作为剧场表演艺术家，其天职应该是给观众提供快感，但要提供快感，舞者本人必须在跳舞过程中先为自己找到快感。

19、小骗局：当芭蕾舞者在舞台上未能严格按照上述技术规范，准确地完成各种动作时，会不由自主地作一些小小的补偿或调整，行话称之为“小骗局”。需要向观众解释清楚的是，为了完成某种超出常规运动范畴的动作，使观众产生新奇的美感和快感，采用这种“小骗局”是必要的，而绝对不等于是欺骗观众，就象魔术的神奇就在于它的“骗局”一样。
