  GRE阅读题目解析:西方戏剧传统

  P2

  Innovative as it is, Luis Valdez' acto owes much to the theater traditions or(我认为应为 of,印刷错误) other periods and regions. Like early Spanish American religious dramas, secular folk dramas, and the Mexican carpas of a somewhat later period, actos are usually performed outdoors by traveling groups of players or by local theater groups. The improvised comic satire of the actos is often attributed to Valdez' study of the Italian commedia dell' arte of the sixteenth century, although some critics see it as a direct reflection of the comic and improvisational qualities of the more contemporary and local carpas of Mexican theater. The Italian influence is likely, whatever Valdez‘ immediate source: the Mexican carpas themselves are said to have originated from the theater pieces of a sixteenth-century Spanish writer inspired by encounters with Italian commedia dell'arte troupes on tour in Spain.

  4. Which of the following best describes the author's evaluation of the views of the critics?

  (A) Their views, if correct, do not preclude the existence of an Italian influence on the acto.

  (B) Their views are unlikely to be correct, given the differences existing between Mexican and Mexican American theater.

  (C) Their views concerning the Mexican carpa are essentially correct, but they lack familiarity with the acto.

  (D) Their views are probably more correct than the views of those who have attributed the comic and improvisational elements of the acto to earlier sources.

  (E) Their views betray a lack of familiarity with the commedia dell'arte.

  5. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the author's argument concerning the debt of the acto to the theater traditions of other periods and regions?

  (A) Many popular forms of theater rely heavily on improvisation.

  (B) Plays resembling the acto in structure were written in the 1970's by West African playwrights who are interested in dramatizing the richness of their own cultures.

  (C) The use of masks has, at one time or another, been characteristic of the theater traditions of almost all cultures, even those most isolated from outside influences.

  (D) During a strike, it is common for union members to present musical skits dramatizing the values of solidarity and resistance.

  (E) Before 1965 Luis Valdez had attended many performances of traditional Mexican theater groups touring the western United States.
