Isadora Duncan's masterly writings on the dance reveal the depth of her determination to create a lyric form of the art which was free of characterization, storytelling, and the theatrical exhibition of skills. She wished to discard the traditional methods and established vocabularies of such dance forms as ballet and to explore the internal sources of human expressiveness. She shunned bodily ornamentation and strove to use only the natural movements of her body, undistorted by acrobatic exaggeration and stimulated only by internal compulsion. In her recitals Duncan danced to the music of Beethoven, Wagner, and Gluck, among others, but, contrary to popular belief, she made no attempt to visualize or to interpret the music; rather, she simply relied on it to provide the inspiration for expressing inner feelings through movement.

10. Select the sentence in the passage that implies the
argumentative function which the author mentions
Duncan‘s reliance on music in her recitals to serve.
问题翻译:(1)作者提recital有什么用啊?为了论证(argumentative function)。论证原文那句话啊?
文章分析:1st句话:追求自由的舞蹈形式;2nd句话:之所以要抛弃传统的舞蹈形式(追求自由的舞蹈形式的另一个表达),是为了追求一种内在、原生态的表达方式;3rd句话:抛去浮华,表现真我;4th句话:举例,在一次具体的表演中如何 “抛去浮华( made no attempt to visualize or to interpret the music),表现真我( provide the inspiration for expressing inner feelings through movement.)。这样4th就是3rd的具体表现。就像填空题经常出现的语义重复一样,4th中的 inner feelings 和3rd中的 internal compulsion和natural movements构成语义重复。
希望能抛砖引玉,对大家有所帮助。
