This passage is for question 24 to 28

Dancer Martha Graham trained her body to move in different ways and in different
contexts from any before attempted, "life today is nervous, sharp, and zigzag," she
said. "It often stops in midair. That is what I aim for in my dances." She insists she
never started out to be a rebel. It was only that the emotions she had to express could
not be projected through any of the traditional forms.
This was in 1925. All forms of art were undergoing a revolution. The theories
of psychology were being used to extend the boundaries of poetry, music, and
painting.
Martha Graham's debut dance concert in her new idiom occurred on April 18,
1926. Connoisseurs of dance, gathered at the Forty-eighth Street Theater in New
York, witnessed Martha Graham's first foray into this new realm of dance. They saw,
through such dance sequences as "Three Gobi Maidens." and "A Study in Lacquer,
desires and conflicts expressed through bodily movements. These critics agreed that
something entirely new. A departure from all previous forms, had been witnessed.
In the early thirties, she founded the. Martha Graham School of Contemporary
Dance. Her classes were used as a laboratory for her stage works, and her stage
works in turn were a means for attaching new pupils to her school-a sort of self-
winding process, with herself as the key to the development.
Martha Graham and the school she has founded are virtually synonymous with
the modern dance. She had not only produced a technique of the dance.
Choreographed and taught it, but her disciples have gone out to fill the modern dance
world.

25. It can be inferred from the passage that in the beginning of her career, Martha Grahams
mode of dance was
A. readily accepted

from traditional dance in the
A. type of movements
B. speed of the performance
C. variety of themes
D. ages of the performers
E. eyes of critics

The poem is for question no 41 to 45

A blessing
Just off the highway to Rochester, Minnesota
Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass
And eyes of those two Indian ponies
Darken with kindness
They have come gladly out of the willows
To welcome my friend and me
We step over the barbed wire into pasture
Where they have been grazing all day, alone
That we have come.
They bow shyly as wet swans.
They love each other
There is no loneliness like theirs
At home once more
They begin munching they young tufts of spring in the darkness.
I would like to hold the slender one in my arms,(15)
For she has walked over to me
And nuzzled my left hand
She is black and white
And the light breeze moves me to caress her long eat
That is delicate as the skin over a girls wrist
Suddenly I realized
That if I stepped out of my body
I would break
Into blossom.
(Wright, James, A Blessing. Glencoe Literature, Course 5. 200, p.61)
