听力原文：  

Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.（22）Dance in America is everywhere. We dance from Florida to Alaska, from horizon to horizon and coast to coast. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties or just to fill the time. “I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in a small town in Iowa. “I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful.（23）My older students say it makes them feel young. It’s marvellous to watch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.” So why do we dance?（24）“I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges. “They arrive at the class in a bad mood and they leave with a smile. Dancing seems to change their mood completely.” 
   So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? （25）Andrea Hillie, a dance teacher says, “Dance, like the rhythm of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better. I keep practicing even when I’m exhausted. I find it hard to stop. Dancing reminds me I’m alive.”
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What does the passage say about dance in America?
23. What do we know about Lester Bridges’ dance studio?
24. What happened to the young couple after they attended Lester Bridges’ class?
25. What did Andrea Hillie say about dance?

解析：浏览四个选项，从选项中的Florida and Alaska，major social activity，expressive等词可推测，此题与对某物的评价或描述有关。题干问的是关于美国舞蹈文章介绍了什么内容。短文开头提到，舞蹈在美国随处可见，从佛罗里达到阿拉斯加，从东海岸到西海岸。在婚礼上、生日派对上、办公室聚会上，甚至打发时间的时候都要跳舞。由此可知，答案为C。A项(舞蹈在佛罗里达和阿拉斯加尤其受欢迎)在文中未提及，故排除。短文中舞蹈老师莱斯特提到，他年长的学生说跳舞让他们感到年轻。对他们中的许多人来说，这是一种社交活动，所以舞蹈并不是只属于年轻人，故排除B项(舞蹈是年轻人主要的社交活动)。短文开头提到，在有书面的文字之前，就有了舞蹈这种语言。舞蹈表达了爱与恨、喜与悲、生与死以及错综复杂的感情，但是短文并没有把文字和舞蹈作比较，也没有抬高或贬低任何一方，故排除D项(舞蹈比文字更具有表现力)。

浏览四个选项，从选项中的dance classes，chance to socialize等词可推测，此题与某物的位置或作用有关。题干问的是关于莱斯特·布里吉斯的舞蹈工作室我们知道哪些信息。短文中莱斯特提到，他年长的学生说跳舞让他们感到年轻。对他们中的许多人来说，这是一种社交活动，故答案为D。莱斯特的舞蹈工作室在爱荷华的一个小镇上，不在大城市里，故排除A项(舞蹈室在爱荷华的一个大城市里)。短文中提到，莱斯特说看着年长的学生们跳舞是一种很棒的感觉，B项(舞蹈工作室看着很不错)偷换概念，故排除。c项(舞蹈工作室为老年人提供免费的舞蹈课程)在文中未提及，故排除。

浏览四个选项，从选项中的improved，dancers，enjoyed，relationship，strengthened等词可推测，此题与某些人的关系或状态有关。题干问的是年轻夫妇在参加莱斯特·布里吉斯的舞蹈课之后有什么变化。短文中提到，莱斯特说这对夫妻来教室时心情不好，但却是笑着离开的。舞蹈似乎完全改变了他们的情绪。由此可知，答案为A。B项(他们成了更好的舞者)、C项(他们的健康状况变得更佳)和D项(夫妻关系变得更好)在短文中均未提及，故排除。
